Old City Athletic Club: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Small, personal gym located in Old City with friendly staff, a clean facility, and a good spread of equipment! Would recommend!
Fantastic experience: Great place to workout, always able to feel comfortable in the gym environment here. Would recommend to anyone coming into town for even a few days or anyone looking for a new gym
Fantastic experience: The best atmosphere of any gym I’ve been to. Super clean, especially the restrooms, someone seems to always be cleaning when I’ve come in. The equipment is all brand new. The gym is big enough for any workout I need to get done. Love this gym.
Thank you for your review Jonathan! We are glad to hear you are satisfied with our facility!
Fantastic experience: I love OCAC!! I discovered this gym shortly after relocating to Knoxville, and without hesitation, became a member. I haven't regretted it since! Its convenient central location and the availability of free nearby parking are major pluses. The XTG classes, with certified trainers Nicole and Michelle (❤️), are a particular favorite – they expertly guide us through personalized weight training sessions within a class setting.
Positive experience: I used a guest pass a visitor due to home gym being closed; which I appreciated. Pros: Not over crowded Most up to date equipment with multifunctional usages Clean towels/water provided On duty staff Polite Cons: Hair all over the fitness room floor and workout turf - needs regularly vacuuming Restroom needs deep cleanse/sanitation- smells of mildew in the air No chalk for grip on bars and handles
Hi Keosha, thanks for visiting! Glad to hear about your pros. So sorry to hear about your cons. We will get the hair vacuumed up, although we do vacuum every other day as we are small facility. Regarding the restrooms, they are deep cleaned every Saturday and maintenance cleaned every day (toilets, anything dirty that comes up, etc.). While being in the restrooms daily, we have never smelled any odor of mildew, even after someone has showered, nor has anyone else ever mentioned that so we will definitely take note and keep an eye for any odd smells. We appreciate your feedback so we can keep the gym functioning at the highest standard!
Fantastic experience: On a scale of documentaries to romances, Old City Athletic Club is a choose-your-own-adventure book. Opt to do your own workout or join a fitness class -- you do you! My partner and I were visiting from out of town, and we are often unhappy with the normal run-of-the-mill gym. We were delighted to walk past Old City Athletic Club and discover a space that fit our workout needs (free weights, rigs, etc.) with an easy check-in process after 5pm. We love you Old City Athletic Club!
Thank you Barbara! We are so glad to have you in town and exceed your expectations! We can’t wait to see you again!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism , Quality This gym has the best equipment in Knoxville. The staff is complete with wonderful people- some students, some whose passion is health and wellness. The cleanliness is impeccable. OCAC is doing an outstanding job to maintain Covid regulations and also stay fully functioning with group classes and long open hours.
Fantastic experience: Boutique fitness is something fairly new to Knoxville, and while Old City Athletic Club is categorically a boutique gym, it is one of the most inviting fitness environments I've ever experienced. The amenities elevate the facility, with towel service, fully-stocked bathrooms, 24/7 gym access, amazing classes, and state of the art equipment. The clientele, staff, and overall ambience make it feel like a community and truly create a space that you can't wait to come back to. Old City does "boutique fitness" so well, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an elevated gym experience.
