Starting Strength Memphis

Fantastic experience: This is a great gym with excellent coaches, good energy, and people who want to see you improve.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of at least 6 gyms in the Memphis area over the years, both with trainers and on my own. After the pandemic I really struggled to get back in shape, but I found the solution with Starting Strength. By far the most structured and effective training I have had in a long time. All the coaches are there to make sure you are reaching your maximum potential, safely, while still having fun. And you get to see how much you have progressed at every session. II highly recommend this gym!

Fantastic experience: I literally have never made a review but went through the motions on how to so that everyone could know how much I enjoy Starting Strength. I really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really have enjoyed every session and have been doing this since May.

Fantastic experience: I have never been one to work out or go to the gym, in fact I would say most of my friends and family are shocked that I go regularly now. I have been going to starting strength 3 days a week since August. Scott and the rest of the coaches have always been so understanding, but continue to push me to better myself. They have helped me lose weight and gain muscle during my journey to be healthy. Thanks to them I can say I have lost over 100lbs.

Fantastic experience: John and his team have really shown me that working out and strength training is the single most important part of being and staying healthy. Love this program. I’ve never felt stronger or seen faster results and people from all fitness levels all benefiting from this.

Fantastic experience: I began training at Starting Strength Memphis in September 2022 after being encouraged by a friend who trains there. I'm in my mid sixties and wanted to increase my strength for a number of reasons. I had no idea how much I would enjoy this type of training. The owner, John Haun, has top notch trainers, Scott Ascosta and Gretchen Geist. Scott, Gretchen, and John give me instant feedback and adjustments while training. I love their attention to detail and safety. The members that I work out with are all different ages and levels and they make me feel like I fit in. I would highly recommend Starting Strength no matter what physical limitations you have, age, or fitness level.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of Starting Strength Memphis for several months & I cannot get over the difference in my personal strength. From the first day I walked in until now, I have felt totally supported & heard in my individualized training. John, Scott & Gretchen are extremely knowledgeable in all things strength & are awesome motivators as you journey through being your best self. They are accommodating with schedule changes & will text to check in if you miss a couple classes. I am so thankful to be apart of the Starting Strength Memphis family… it’s fun getting stronger & seeing what your body can do with consistency! Run, don’t walk to join this gym!

Fantastic experience: Amazing trainers!

Fantastic experience: I had a training session at Starting Strength Memphis. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. The coaching provided on the lifts was very helpful for improving my technique. The gym itself was excellent - very clean and great equipment. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: I never thought I would go to a place and workout with other people and feel comfortable but I have found my place! Not only am I comfortable but the atmosphere is very encouraging and the BIG BONUS is the results! Starting Strength is for everyone. My mom is even joining in on the FUN! I see people with their teenagers and their elderly parents all working out. Workouts are made to fit everyone.

Fantastic experience: I've been a member at this gym for three months. The coaches here are devotees of their craft i.e. making regular people as strong as possible. I am not an athlete in the strictest sense. Just a regular Joe with a wife and two boys. But I become an athlete when I train here. When you enroll at SS Memphis, you're not just buying a membership. You're investing in your own agency and wellbeing.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym. Visited from SS Dallas and they were super accommodating. Looking forward to coming back next time I'm in town
