Poe's Gym — Local services in Nashville-Davidson

My wife and I were traveling across the country and stuck to our regular 4x/wk training schedule while doing so. Finding quality gyms for powerlifters like us is tough when traveling and we were incredibly fortunate to find Poe’s Gym and dropped in for a visit. When we arrived, the door was locked but Matt picked up the phone and cautiously asked us “what type of lifting are you looking to do?” and as I replied “we’re powerlifters just passing through looking for a place to train” he was quick to open the facility up to us! Matt and his GM were incredibly hospitable and so were all the members we met. My wife and I spent a few hours here lifting (it was a long one!) and had plenty of good conversation with Matt along the way. If you’re in the area or simply traveling through Nashville looking for a facility for serous strength training then look no further. This gym has the perfect old school vibe with it’s “no frills” selection of equipment. If you’re looking for lavender scented towels and Smith machines, then politely, this is not the place for you. If you like lifting weights in a serious and, most importantly, supportive environment then Poe’s Gym has what you’re looking for. Don’t forget to pick up one of their great looking...

Poe’s gym is iconic! It’s the “Cheers” of gyms and not your momma’s gym! It’s a place where everyone knows your name and it’s a true training environment. The members are supportive of each other as well as the owner, Matt Poe! Matt takes a real interest in every member and their goals beyond just their fitness desires. He truly invests in their needs whether it’s a personalized fitness program that he writes or if it’s aligning a member with others who have similar interests. I’ve been a member for 6 years and during this time I’ve witnessed Matt give back to the community during times of need through his Christmas Angel programs, his contributions to St Jude through lifting with Omegaforce and spearheading the reopening of gyms in Nashville during COVID. Matt Poe personally dedicated his time and authored the campaign to the city council which in fact, proved to be the reason all gyms were allowed to reopen in a time of great need in the city. The amount of positive things which can be said are endless about this gym. It may not be the right place for you but it’s the only place for me and my family! Thank you Matt Poe and Poe’s Gym for being what my daughter and I consider our...

Poe’s gym! Poe’s has always been on my bucket list to train at. I could not have been more impressed by Matt Poes gym. Poe’s gym is gives you an old school feel with graffiti brick walls, pictures of legends who have trained there on the walls, it is clean, organized, full of character, and the people are very supportive and friendly. I had the opportunity to talk with Matt for quite awhile. It says a lot about a person who takes their time to hold a meaningful conversation with someone. Matt and the other athletes at his gym welcomed me with open arms and made me feel right at home. If you are someone with a good attitude, hard work ethic, respect, and a good sense of humor, Poe’s gym is the right place. I cannot thank Matt Poe and the rest of the athletes enough for their...
