I have never been a group fitness girly, I’ve always preferred solo workouts but that changed after my first session at ISI! I moved to Nashville over the summer and was planning to shop around for a gym, this was the first gym I tried, and I immediately fell in LOVE! The environment, staff, and energy in this gym are amazing! The workouts are consistently challenging with modifications to make things harder or more manageable based on an injury or impairment.

Everyone truly wants to see the other person to succeed. The trainers are your hype person and want you to succeed. The times are also amazing and you have to sign up ahead of the time which also holds you accountability! The best gym in...
