Update to this review: I had an injury requiring me to be in a tall walking boot for over 2 months and because of the outstanding coaches at Iron Tribe, I didn't miss a workout! They came up with creative, safe modifications so I didn't have to lose all the progress I had made. I just renewed my membership. You should check them out! I highly recommend Iron Tribe Belle Meade! I recently moved to Nashville, left an awesome gym, and was worried I wouldn't be able to find a new gym to enjoy. After trying several, Iron Tribe was the best fit and 6 months in, I am still happy. From beginners to very fit members, everyone is welcome and the coaches/trainers are very accommodating to work with you at your fitness level. I love that it truly is fast and fun. I push harder with the Iron Tribe workouts than I would working out alone. I have been able to maintain, and actually improve my fitness level since starting at Iron Tribe. Check it out!

Starting back up with fitness after a four year hiatus was daunting but IronTribe made it easy. After 2 months, I’ve lost 24 pounds and am finally starting to get “fit” again. I was hesitant about the Prime format at first, because I’d only ever worked out 1:1 with a personal trainer in a private gym. But they give you plenty of assistance, and the class format is intelligent with each person having their own custom training program. Justin & Jason are available to keep you on track and also they offer nutrition coaching to maximize your efforts. The workouts have been fun, and effective and are customized for your goals and level.
