Frequently Asked Questions

Chattanooga Fitness Club is a small group personal training, private 1x1 personal training, and nutrition coaching facility located at 3829 Hixson Pike, Chattanooga, TN 37415. 

Our built-in social structure and group accountability model makes working out fun and friendly while you get fit! Your sessions will be crafted and led by Certified Personal Trainers in a supportive and encouraging small group setting, all to help you achieve your personal health and fitness goals.

In addition to small group personal training, we also offer private 1x1 personal training, in which the gym is shut down just for you when a Crew is not in session, and you work through a customized plan with a Certified Personal Trainer based on your individual goals, timeline, and schedule.

We also offer Nutrition Coaching where our Certified Nutrition Coach works with you to help understand the components of a healthy diet, set appropriate dietary targets, and stick to them over time using a coaching approach!

If it's your first time in, we want you to feel comfortable. One of our awesome coaches will give you a tour of the facilities, we’ll sit down with you and walk through your goals, we’ll do a quick assessment with you, and we’ll walk through what you can expect during a small group personal training session.

Our main offering at Chattanooga Fitness Club is our Small Group Personal Training sessions led by Certified Personal Trainers. These sessions are limited to you plus up to 7 others, as you are led through customized programming for 55-minutes, and occur mutiple times per day Monday through Saturday. You'll be lifting weights including dumbbells, kettlebells, barbells, and more; doing a bit of cardio; and working on targeted areas to include stomach, legs, and other focus points. Because we take a small group approach, we are able to work with you directly.

This makes Chattanooga Fitness Club, our Small Group Personal Training, and our Challenges for everyone, from seasoned workout junkies, to those just getting back into training after awhile, or those training for the first time!

While we use some equipment that Crossfit uses, we do not emphasize explosive lifts or intense plyometric exercises, especially knee and hip dominant plyometrics, as we believe this leads to an unusually large risk of injury to the average client. We want to build strong, stable, fit bodies without unnecessarily endangering joints, ligaments, connective tissues, and muscle fibers that aren't ready for explosive muscular movements. In short, we don't want you to get hurt here, so while some moves might look like Crossfit, and Crossfit fans will certainly enjoy our workouts, we aren't Crossfit.

These are not cardio classes, and we don't offer any at the club. Your small group personal training sessions will probably include a few minutes of conditioning cardio like rowing, jumping rope, or perhaps using the battle ropes, but we don't do much traditional cardio. Instead, our Certified Personal Trainers have a whole hour of programming created for you that will keep your heart rate up without the need to do much cardio in the usual sense. Short bits of cardio followed by lifting weights for most of the round and having fun, that's what we're about!

No, this isn't a bootcamp, and we don't have any bootcamp classes at Chattanooga Fitness Club. Instead, we do small group personal training, where a Certified Personal Trainer works directly with you in groups of 2 or 3, with a max of twelve people in session, on programming aligned with your goals. While there is nothing inherently wrong in putting 20-30 people in a large room and offering more motivation than coaching, we prefer to have a more hands on, personal training approach.

You can work out as little or as much as you'd like, but we usually recommend 3-4x a week. Our built-in social structure and group accountability model makes working out fun and friendly while you get fit, so a few hours a week is nothing to spare, and becomes something you look forward to! Just read our Testimonials page.

Ask anyone what they love most about Chattanooga Fitness Club, and one of the top things listed will be the sense of community, supportive atmosphere, and co-do environment we uphold. Our community is made up of people of all different backgrounds and fitness levels, and everyone has a place in the Crew. In fact, our small group personal training model is actually designed to meet you wherever you're at, because it allows our Certified Personal Trainers the ability to provide hands on attention to members, helping with form, scaling options, and personalization during the sets. Chattanooga Fitness Club is for everyone!
