Southside Strength

Fantastic experience: If you wanna get healthy and fit, Southside strength is where you need to go. Luke and Lisa are some of Nashville's best trainers.

Fantastic experience: Visited family in TN recently and I needed a gym to workout at while in the area. Luke was extremely helpful, set me up for the few days I visited. Extremely clean gym, and great equipment for powerlifting! Awesome spot, make sure to check it out!

Fantastic experience: I stopped by this gym because I needed a barbell for my new strength program while on a work trip. I have lived in Virginia, Georgia, and I now live in Michigan. This is my absolute favorite gym that I have been too. It is everything you want from a powerlifting gym with more equipment, cleanliness, and room. Loved this gym. Wish there was one in Detroit!

Fantastic experience: Great experience. Warm welcome from the regulars. It has all the tools necessary for powerlifting and athletic type training. I’m visiting Nashville on business - traffic and parking is mad house to attempt a workout in around downtown. Ventured out to Southside Strength and was able to bypass the hassle. We’ll worth the 35min drive.

Fantastic experience: I had been wanting to find a place over the summer for my boys to get some speed and agility training that was close and affordable. I happened to come across an Instagram post about Southside offering a 3x/wk 6 week class starting the next day, so I signed both boys up. Southside has been fantastic for them. The results have been very apparent. Luke and Dexter pay attention to detail when working with them, making sure they are doing each activity with correct form, utilizing their arms properly, etc. It's a great environment with the right mix of toughness but encouragment for young athletes. Both boys have continued to workout at Southside and are now coming in with their baseball team for team workouts and they continue to get the same high quality training. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: My husband and I have been at Southside for several years and love it. They have a friendly, supportive, and great energy atmosphere!

Fantastic experience: Great gym filled with a warm, welcoming environment. Whether you are a powerlifter, aspiring athlete, or just want to get in a good workout, this gym is awesome. I have never been a part of a gym where people genuinely care about you as a person, and you are not just looked at as just a patron. I have been going to this gym for over a year, and this is the most at home I have ever felt in a gym. From the owners, to the trainers, to the other members, everyone has shown me nothing but support and kindness!

Fantastic experience: Visiting Nashville for the day and found this gym after a bad experience with another one in the area. The owner was very generous with his time and was able to accommodate us for a drop in. It’s easy to tell they have a great community there and the owner really cares about the space and members. They have everything you need for a great workout and have speciality items for powerlifters and strongman. If we lived in the area this would be our go to spot. Definitely worth stopping in!

Fantastic experience: Great gym. If you want to get stronger, this is the place to go in Williamson County. They have everything a lifter could want (great squat racks, benches, bars, and plates). The gym is always clean. And the staff knows what they are talking about when it comes to training. I worked out there for a year and I would still work out there if I lived closer. My dad still trains there.

Fantastic experience: I dropped in here one day while visiting the area to get a lifting session in. The place is spacious. It was not super crowded on a late morning during the week. Everything was well organized and clean, including the bathroom and shower. There are iron plates all around, lots of DBs, KBs, med balls, sandbags, etc.. pretty much all the lifting/strongman essentials you'd look for. They also have a turf area with a ski erg, rower, and bikes. I was able to squeeze in a mini CrossFit workout there, too. They're open 24/7 and you don't have to talk to anybody or jump through any hoops to do a drop-in. Very solid gym!

Fantastic experience: Super friendly and knowledgeable staff, equipment for all types strength training without being cluttered, and helpful members. Awesome spot to move some weights around!

Fantastic experience: Great gym, phenomenal equipment, even better staff, and members. I was traveling for work, and I couldn’t have found a better gym.

Fantastic experience: Adam & Luke are great people. Gym had top quality equipment. Husband and I were able to train for strongman while our kids got to play with dogs, push sleds, box and play catch. Happy we were able to stop in and meet everyone. Make this your gym, you won’t regret it.

Fantastic experience: Nice gym and nice people. They had a lot of equipment and accommodations for people serious about training.

Fantastic experience: Great environment, a wide variety of equipment, and a convenient location next to Cool Springs. Welcoming to athletes, powerlifters, bodybuilders, etc.

Fantastic experience: The guy on staff was really helpful and nice. Told us to “make yourselves at home.” All the equipment that you could ask for and super solid people.

Fantastic experience: My husband and I came into town to visit and this was the perfect gym for our stay. Love the culture, very clean, and everyone was so kind. One of the best parts was getting to stretch next to Tugs the French bulldog! I have Family here and will be visiting this gym each time we visit!

Fantastic experience: Very good environment. A good sense of gym community. Very friendly owners.

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym with great equipment. Perfect for anyone competing in powerlifting and strongman.

Fantastic experience: Great gym in Franklin! Dropped in with a day pass a while ago. Plenty of parking. All the equipment you need for a powerlifting workout plus some cardio equipment. Big spaces with lots of variety. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in town.

Fantastic experience: I was in the Nasville area visiting family and looking for a powerlifting gym to train. In the past I had the opportunity to compete at Southside Strength where a powerlifting meet was held and knew if I was ever in the area again, this I'd where I'd come to train. This time around when dropping in for a day pass i had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Adam. Adam offers a great environment to train where anyone would feel welcomed. If Powerlifting, Strongman, or just strength training in general is your goal - they have the equipment for it. I recommend this place and will continue to train here when I'm in town.

Fantastic experience: Extremely well equipped gym with a great atmosphere. Traveling all across the country and globe for my career and this gym ranks as one of the best I have ever visited anywhere!

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff and great facility! Can’t wait to stop by again when in the area!

Fantastic experience: The best gym in Franklin!!! Love the equipment and the vibe. Great people too!! All around perfect spot to get stronger and get after it!!!

Fantastic experience: The absolute best gym in TN. Everyone is so kind and helpful, even if you’re not training with someone specifically they’ll never turn you away if you need help.

Fantastic experience: I travel to this area several times a year for work and needed a good gym that was equipped for powerlifting and strength training. This place was awesome. Very clean and well organized. All the equipment was in good repair. The staff was polite. The environment was positive and encouraging. This is my go to gym when I'm in the Franklin area from now on.

Fantastic experience: Stayed for a week in Nashville, great gym and great people! Definitely recommend it to anyone living there or just passing by!

Fantastic experience: Successful gym to say the least. Been here a few times and people are nice and genuine. One of the only gyms in Nashville I can honestly say that there are more good than bad people in it.

Fantastic experience: Best local gym. Everything you need, friendly folks, and key fob for flexible hours. 10/10 experience and 10/10 lifts.

Fantastic experience: Now known as Southside Strength Collective, is the premiere gym for powerlifting and strongman. If you want access to the best equipment and the best environment come to Southside Strength Collective. This is the home to the strongest powerlifters and strongman competitors in Tennessee and soon the be the country and world.

Fantastic experience: Hands down the best gym I have been a member of. The atmosphere is great, very helpful and friendly people. The gym also has a lot of specialty equipment that’s usually not seen at other gyms. I highly recommend checking this gym out!

Fantastic experience: Southside has been a wonderful gym for my family and I. Everyone is super helpful and friendly. All feel welcomed. Nice change from the overwhelming gym atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: The gym has everything one might need for strength training. It's almost or sometimes completely free in the evening hours. You can play your own music through the gym's sound system.

Fantastic experience: Luke and Lisa have sculpted my body and taught me the importance of weights vs. long, grueling cardio workouts. A client for more than 2 years and I feel great. Highly recommend Southside to anyone wanting to physically see real results!

Fantastic experience: Southside is by far the best gym I’ve ever trained at. And especially better than any commercial gym. I got to meet real people and form real relationships based on my passion of lifting. This place gave me a home and a family. Southside is truly Numero Uno

Fantastic experience: Great variety in equipment is a big plus along side excellent staff and community!! Glad I made the switch from golds gym

Fantastic experience: This is more than a gym. It’s a family. The environment is great for everything from a beginner to a pro strength athlete. The owners and staff are some of the best people I have met in the industry.

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym, awesome equipment, awesome people. What more could you want?

Fantastic experience: The gym is always clean, has up to date equipment and the atmosphere is the best in town.

Fantastic experience: I've been working out at Southside Strength for about a year and a half, and it is easily the best gym I've ever been to. Home away from home, great atmosphere, great culture, and the owners are good people.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, clean and well maintained, with 24 hour access and tons of strength equipment.

Fantastic experience: Not too sure why I'm just now rating this place. When I loved in Nashville (2yrs ago) this gym was my home. Luke and his wife are wonderful people and I couldn't of asked for a better place to workout.

Fantastic experience: Hands down the best gym atmosphere I've ever been in. If its a big deal to you, its a big deal to the rest of the gang. They will rally around you and cheer for that new PR! I renewed my lease and decided to stay in Tennessee because I enjoyed the family atmosphere of Southside so much.

Fantastic experience: The atmosphere in the gym is unreal. If anyone is looking for a gym to train for CrossFit or weightlifting this is the gym. Jake is down to earth and wants the best for his clients.

Fantastic experience: What a great gym! I was in town for a few days for work and needed a place to keep up with my strength training routine. Southside allowed me to use the facilities on a daily basis without a membership since I am from out of town. The equipment was just what I needed. It’s crazy how hard it is to find a squat rack in today’s commercial gyms. Smaller strength training / powerlifting gyms like this are a gem when you find them. The gym owners were on site. They were very kind and offered to put on whatever music I wanted. They even gave me a bottle of water. Cannot recommend this place enough!

Fantastic experience: Great equipment, even better people. Awesome environment for anyone looking to compete in Strength sports. Luke is full of knowledge and always willing to help!

Fantastic experience: Moved to TN two years ago & had been desperately seeking to find a FUN good time group strength & conditioning place like my beloved DSC in NH. These folks at SSC are wonderful. They are family owned, FUN, knowledgeable, it’s easy to join & everyone is very welcoming! Classes are fun, challenging & have never had the same workout twice!

Fantastic experience: Love love love it here! Great classes with SEVERAL time options. Great group training and accountability. People of all levels, so no intimidation!

Fantastic experience: You will love Southside Strength! It's a fitness family!! Luke, Lisa, and the entire staff, all are top notch trainers and very personable! If you want a gym with variety, from bootcamp, to sttength training to boxing workouts, come check out Southside Strength!

Fantastic experience: Great gym! Great people!

Fantastic experience: Great gym that is family owned and operated! Strong community here!

Fantastic experience: After gym hopping for years, I have finally found a gym that is invested in my overall health regimen-including my diet. Family owned, value driven, and great pricing. Def recommend!!!

Fantastic experience: Top gym!! Awesome trainers/coaches!! They truly care about your goals and want to help you reach them!!

Fantastic experience: I joined Southside Strength in December 2018. I am one that has tried every fitness trend and gym and I always get bored and stop seeing the results because my body gets used to the same workouts. I have never done the same workout in any of the bootcamp classes. Luke and Lisa are amazing at adjusting the workouts to your fitness levels and any injuries you have. They also attack the biggest issue most people have, DIET!! Luke changed my mindset on food and that's been the biggest game changer. I am now doing a strength program through them with Coach Natalie. I can honestly say I've never felt more welcome into a gym from not only the staff, but the members as well.

Fantastic experience: This is the best gym I’ve ever gone to! Luke & his team are so knowledgeable & truly care about their clients. I did the 6 weeks boot camp challenge & was so happy with the results now my husband & I are doing personal training with Luke. The reason the challenge works is because of the accountability. I can’t imagine my life without them️‍♀️

Fantastic experience: Hands down the best gym! Definitely give Southside Strength a try! I promise you won’t regret it!
