Underground Fitness Asheville

Fantastic experience: Love this place! I’m a novice at working out and felt comfortable. The coach’s would correct my form and help me push myself just enough.

Fantastic experience: The staff was incredible and went beyond expectations.

Fantastic experience: I cannot express enough positive sentiments about this gym. The proprietor and personnel are remarkable instructors and even better individuals. During each session, they make sure everyone is maximizing the workout and adjust the form or the exercise for each person to guarantee the most beneficial and secure workout. I also have to give the owner a huge shoutout for the tidiness. I don't think I have ever been to a gym so spotless!

Fantastic experience: The people at Underground Fitness are the best around! Their owner and staff are so passionate about helping you achieve your goals and stay healthy. I'm so lucky to have found this gym; not only have I gotten an amazing workout, but I've also made some great friends. A special shout-out to Steph, Julie, Mark, and James - you guys are incredible!

Fantastic experience: Staff is very efficient and friendly they really know what they're doing. And I love the boxing at the end of the classes

Fantastic experience: I LOVE UF. I'm not the type of person who naturally pushes themselves to the limit. I have to be in a group setting. I always feel safe and supported at this gym. I think I've been going here for 2ish years now. In COVID times, I can honestly say this is probably the safest gym in town. Everyone has their own box, you can not leave your box without your mask. There is lots of cleaning and hand sanitizing as well. I did try their competing gym (MAD something) down the street with a friend recently. The mad gym had no masks, no social distancing, and very little time to clean between sets. UF has easy parking, the trainers are nice, and supportive. I'm really grateful to find a gym that pushes and supports me at the same time. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Great place. Expert staff. Fully equipped. Super clean. Convenient location. A tremendous asset to the community for their volunteer work w/ adaptive CrossFit!

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Asheville. Challenging workouts, great trainers and CLEAN!

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Underground Fitness enough! They offer an amazing combination of communication, professionalism, and quality at a very reasonable price. There are no hidden fees or surprises, and the staff are so friendly and accommodating. The classes are always varied and challenging, and can be tailored to suit different skill levels.

Fantastic experience: UF is the place to be. I wasn’t too enthusiastic to get back into the gym because I spend most of my time outdoors. I knew I needed a sense of community if I were going to stick with it and when I first started out at Underground, I instantly knew it was a good fit. Members are encouraging and friendly and you quickly feel as though you’re a part of the group. The coaches truly care about the members and safety is a priority, which is a refreshing concept as far as gyms go. Each class begins with instruction on the movements and during the workout, the coaches monitor everyone ensuring they use proper form and are getting the most out of each exercise. Have an injury? They will modify the movement so that you’re still able to do the work. All the classes are very upbeat, and there’s a high level of enthusiasm that’s contagious. Class sizes are perfect and the times are convenient for any schedule. I’ve been able to make great strides in my fitness level thanks to Underground but the thing that shocked me the most is that I’ve seen a MAJOR increase my mountain biking and trail running endurance which, of course, has made me work out more. When the world went on hiatus during the COVID-19 shutdown, the classes changed to a computer screen but Stephanie’s enthusiasm for keeping people moving and staying healthy never stopped – yet another reason to support a business that supports so many! Keep up the great work UF team!

Fantastic experience: When I started going to Underground over a year ago, I was out of shape but eager to be more healthy and feel better. As I look at how far I've come, I would have never imagined making this much progress. For the first time ever I'm not only pushing myself physically but am also enjoying the process.

Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough AMAZING things about Underground Fitness!! I have lived all over the US and have tried so many workout facilities and they all pale in comparison! Whether you are just starting to workout or you are in the best shape of your life, Underground Fitness will motivate and challenge you! From the moment I walked in the door, I felt so welcomed, so comfortable and there was a huge sense of camaraderie among everyone in the class! I have had the privilege of taking Lauren and James' classes and they are extremely knowledgeable and highly motivational! The owners truly care about their members and the facility/equipment is top notch. I have been working out there 3x/wk for about 3 weeks and I'm already down 12 lbs. My advice to anyone looking for an awesome environment to workout in... try Underground Fitness! You won't be disappointed! It is the best decision I have made in a long time!

Fantastic experience: UF has been my home away from home for over the past 1.5 years! Coming in postpartum, tired and out of shape, Steph and the rest of the UF team whipped me into shape pretty quick! I have never stuck with a workout this long; it’s effective, fun and the trainers are so knowledgeable. The UF community is also some of the best Asheville has to offer. Any age, any fitness level, I highly recommend checking out a class. I’m stronger and faster than I have ever been at 40 years old. The only bad thing is now I can’t work out anywhere else because nobody levels up. Thanks UF!

Fantastic experience: This is always a very good workout and much safer than what I had been doing

Fantastic experience: My experience at Underground Fitness has been out of this world awesome. I've had the opportunity to intern here and learn from each of the trainers as well as get to know them personally. Firstly, the gym is clean and all of the equipment is top of the line. They put a lot of effort into making the gym a great atmosphere and they have succeeded. Secondly, the trainers are intelligent and professional. They know what they're doing. When they program they take into consideration their clients and past workouts so the classes continue to be fun and challenging. Lastly, the people who work here are sincere. They care about their people. The community is wonderful, almost instantly you can see the friendships that have grown and thrived in this gym. I love this place and would recommend it to anyone no matter their level or knowledge of exercise. You will grow here and learn. With the security of knowing the trainers are top notch, and with the variety of classes that Underground provides, there is no doubt that you will succeed at and enjoy this gym.

Fantastic experience: Underground Fitness has completely changed my life. And not just in the way you think! Aside from growing physically stronger and increasing my over-all fitness, I have had the opportunity to become a part of an amazing community. The fit fam we have here is second to none. Also, each trainer on staff is kind yet challenging and extremely knowledgable about form and modifications. Whether you're local to Asheville (you get your first three classes FREE!) or just visiting, you gotta check this place out!

Fantastic experience: Such an efficient way to work out. I can't say enough positive things about the gym and the people that run it. Do it!

Fantastic experience: Great gym, awesome inviting atmosphere, tough workout. Definitely check this gym out! Owners are amazing!

Fantastic experience: Who does this? I am not one who writes reviews but this incident inspired me to share my experience. I have been a member of Underground since they opened and I am so blown away with the passion and sincere care that Stephanie Ritchie has exhibited this weekend. I hurt my back and I reached out to her on a weekend night to ask about the future workout to see if I was in condition to participate. MUCH TO MY SUPRISE!!!!.....Stephanie actually made a video of some stretches that I could do to help my back. Who does that? Stephanie does.......that is why I follow her. She TRULY cares and it doesn't stop there. ALL of the trainers I have experienced at underground REALLY cares!!!! This staff see's me 5 times a week and they still CARE! That is a business that has forethought and pays attention to each and every member that walks in. Thank you Underground.....Stephanie, Mary, Georgia, Shane, Johnny......I feel safe.

Fantastic experience: I can't say enough about how fun and challenging these workouts are! I've been to many gyms, fitness studios, crossfit boxes in the Asheville area and this is my favorite. The trainers here have taken all the same movements used in HIT workouts across the world and made the programming different everyday. And the woodway treadmills used here are a crazy fun way to incorporate running into a gym workout.

Fantastic experience: Damn! Just finished up one of Shane Keeran's classes at Underground Fitness. I'll be dead tomorrow but workout and instruction was great and the gym was super well kept and really cool equipment!

Fantastic experience: I absolutely cannot say enough great things about Underground Fitness. What a fun way to get your sweat on! Underground Fitness is locally owned and provides an incredible and encouraging atmosphere for all fitness levels alike. Being in the Chiropractic profession I am always looking for a safe and fun environment to refer patients who are looking to be active and achieve their fitness goals. I am confident recommending Underground Fitness to every one of my patients. Underground Fitness is such a unique blend of multiple HIT exercises. Their coaches are knowledgable, professional and experienced. You will not regret giving Underground Fitness a try!

Fantastic experience: Love the place, great coaches, attention to details make sure everyone is doing the right moves.

Fantastic experience: Just finished a class on my way passing through. Amazing gym with fabulous instructors and super nice members. As enjoyable a workout experience I've ever had.

Fantastic experience: Challenging/rewarding workout, motivating trainers, unique and super clean environment!

Fantastic experience: Unique and awesome gym space with great interval workouts!

Fantastic experience: Caleb Smith, you wrote the exact same thing on a Facebook review, as well as alot of other customer's reviews. Im curious as to how you think anyone could copy a workout? A push up is a push up regardless of where you do it, but there's gyms all over Asheville doing them and noone else is crying copyright infringement. I worked at MADabolic, with steph for a breath, and as I respect the founders of that franchise. It was comparable to other high intensity interval training, would you say they copied CrossFit? And CrossFit just gave circuit training a cool name at a higher rate. The workouts are different from other gyms yet similar to other gyms. I've worked at 4 myself and attended closer to a dozen. Steph sets herself apart from the others with her balance of intensity and compassion. Somehow Underground Fitness has been able to maintain that while keeping up enough personality to keep the unmotivated like myself honest enough to have a great workout. I recommend it to all athletes! If you're nervous she has a program to get you ready for the intensity, which is a rarity in HIIT, High Intensity Training, gyms. Sorry if this is long, I tried to contact you, Caleb, personally on facebook but was unable to. Just a side note, the bank you work for has never heard of you.

Fantastic experience: Underground is a very cool space to get a very good workout. Great equipment, knowledgeable instructors, and a fast paced fun workout. Can’t wait to go back.

Fantastic experience: Great workout, music, energy, top notch equipment and overall studio!! The studio itself is gorgeous and just begs for you to get sweaty using all the super versatile and high end equipment-that you won't see at any gym I know of in Asheville. Steph makes sure you do the moves right and work hard!! Love that there is a 6am class to get a workout in before the family gets up!

Fantastic experience: A locally owned gym that offers a unique workout under the guidance of awesome trainers. Steph has the ability to meet people where they are in their fitness journey. You will be assured that you will have a high intesity workout while trainers make sure that you are lifting and moving safely. Each workout is programmed differently with upbeat music and people around to sweat and smile with!

Fantastic experience: Such a beautiful space & a incredible coaching staff! Love how attentive they are to your individual needs even in a group setting. Great addition to the Asheville fitness community!

Fantastic experience: The best of the best. Super knowledgeable staff, excellent equipment, great space and so well located. Steph and her crew make sure we do everything properly and safely which I really appreciate. And every class is unique and fun while still being a kick-ass workout.

Fantastic experience: A completely different take on traditional interval training! The passion, encouragement and drive from the owners and trainers cannot be matched at any other facility.

Fantastic experience: Love this workout! Great, energetic vibe! Friendly owners and coach. You'll leave feeling like you could eat the rest of the day. Get strong!!

Fantastic experience: Awesome work out!
