Ive been working with the trainers here for almost 2 years. I had several injuries and theyve really helped me to work around and overcome those. Im very happy with the progress Ive made with them and with the care, attention, and communication they provide to their clients.

I have been attending Basics and Beyond for a few weeks! My trainer Cassidy is wonderful. She is energetic and pushes me! I am not a morning workout person but my 8 am sessions fly by. The gym is clean, everyone wears masks and they clean every piece of equipment after you use it. The prices are great and there is no contract. This is exactly what I was looking for!

I have worked out with a Basics and Beyond personal trainer for multiple years. Without a doubt, there is no way I could have reached my goals without Dan and his team. Their trainers are positive, professional, and fully committed to helping people succeed.

I have very significant back issues: scoliosis, stenosis, spondylosis. Back and hip pain. After just one visit with Dan, I felt better and stronger as he corrected some daily habits that were straining my back. He is easy to talk to and work with. Dan gives clear instructions and communicates well to see if I am doing okay or have any questions or concerns between sessions. I strongly recommend Dan for anyone having serious back problems. Don’t have back surgery!! Try to correct things you may be doing wrong. Let Dan help YOU!

Fitness Training - SarahThe BEST!! I wanted to kick off the new year and really get in shape. After reading reviews and speaking to Dan he introduced / recommended Sarah! After meeting her for initial consultation we went over my Fitness goals, nutrition and results I am seeking. I also explained I have had lower back issues for a good part of my life and she took that seriously to help engage my results without putting any additional stress on my back. I have been with sarah now for over a month at 3x a week - losing weight and toning my entire body; including strengthening my core. I would recommend anyone looking to get in shape, get muscle tone, nutrition guidance, get motivated, stayed discipline... all while she pushes ya to work hard and see results!!! She is a life changer... so call her and get started today! You won’t regret it! Happy sculpting :)

I’ve been with Basics and Beyond for almost 9 years. My trainer the entire time, Amy has helped my over some pretty major health challenges and even helped me complete my first 5K! She’s supportive, encouraging, and a great resource of overall health as related to fitness. She keeps me moving so I can be the best me to my patients. Dr. NBC

Dan has been my personal trainer for several years. Past trainers Ive worked with ask about physical limitations or injuries, but then incorporate exercises that can potentially increase pain or other issues. Dan listens to my concerns, works around them, and helps me reach my fitness/health goals. If youre considering a fitness/health coach, call Dan. You can trust him to truly help & support your individual needs rather than trying to fit you into a specific fitness box.

Very interesting perspective is gained in a brief message daily

Brand new experience (my first time with a trainer) with a brand new trainer to Basics and Beyond, Andrew! He has been an absolute pleasure to work with. Hes checked in on me a few times, and I honestly believes he cares about my success. Our first work out was so different from what Ive been doing. It was a great change of pace for me. Im thankful to have found such a great team!

Dan has provided information and exercises for my lower back pain which have made a HUGE difference in my day to day life. I only wish it had not taken so long to find this place and Dans guidance. Anyone needing good, sound, safe training should give him a call for a consultation....its been life changing. =)

After almost 5 years of living with pain on a pretty regular basis, I did some searching and reached out to Basics and Beyond in the summer of 2017. I had developed a SI Joint problem from years of sitting and working at a computer for way too many hours each day. I’ve been working with Angela for a bit over 6 months now and the entire experience has been awesome. I am for the most part totally pain free with just very occasional moments of pain/discomfort, which seem to be a direct result of me falling behind on my exercise and spending too much time working at the computer.Previously I had seen good chiropractors and massage therapists, who were all helpful, but nothing has helped nearly as much as working with Angela from Basics and Beyond and getting my body in shape. I’m feeling much stronger, more energized, and more stable, plus there’s the added bonus of looking better too ;)Not only am I learning how to properly work out and getting in shape, but I’m also learning about my physical ailments (turns out I have a couple), proper posture and things I can put into practice in my day to day. Angela is extremely knowledgeable. I learn something new with each session, which I attend 2 days per week. Whenever I do have any pain or discomfort I describe it to Angela and she always seems to have the answers - educating me and giving me an exercise that often immediately addresses and alleviates the pain.They really do go above and beyond the basics.Highly recommend for anyone and everyoneThank you so much!

Basics and Beyond is a wonderful group of trainers. Dan is awesome and does great with pairing you with just the right trainer. If that trainer is not the right fit he finds you another one. I have been going for about 2 months now and its been a wonderful body changing experience! I highly recommend a consultation!

I was getting after my Dad who is 78 telling him there is no status quo if you aren’t improving your getting worse, he needed to keep moving and to keep his mobility so he could take care of himself. it wasn’t long before I realized I needed to listen to my own advise at 47 I was in the worst shape of my life. Dan and Jon got me started with a couple visits a week and after a month I feel so much more sure of myself, I still have a long way to go but I have started that journey

Jess Wilson is the absolute best personal trainer! Shes a great motivator and works me much harder than I would myself, yet never makes me feel self-conscious or intimidated as I work towards getting stronger. She seems to have tremendous expertise, shes delightful, and her energy level is contagious. Ive got a ways to go to get truly fit, but I have confidence that Jess will encourage and help me to get there.

I sought out Basics and Beyond looking for a trainer to help me develop an exercise program. I have found so much more. Dan has done a fantastic job helping me with stretches for pain that Ive been experiencing with my foot. He paired me with Amy Lamb for training. She has been kind and encouraging and works to find exercises that work for me. I went into this highly resistant to any kind of nutrition counseling. However, Dan has done a wonderful job gently nudging me in that direction. For the first time in two decades, I am on the right track to better health and fitness. I highly recommend the team at Basics and Beyond!

Thanks to Dan for getting me started and Ben who has patiently been working with me for the past six months, I was able to complete the Womens Half Marathon less than 9 months after a full knee replacement. These guys work with those of us in our late 50s and listen to help you reach your goals. This is the best money I spend on myself!

Dan is wonderful. He is very empathetic, patient, & encouraging while pushing me past what I think I can do. Ive made great strides working with him, beyond what I thought I was capable.

Dan Defigio is the best at what he does. I had lower back and posture problems, which prevented me from doing regular exercise. I sought out Dan as my last resort, and with his expertise and patience, he has changed my life. Dan truly cares about getting you healthy and has a contagious passion for fitness and nutrition, that will truly transform you to a healthier, better you!

Dan was very prompt in responding to me when I was initially on the search for a trainer. He recommended Adam, who is amazing! He is knowledgeable, motivating, and he truly cares about you and your goals. Everyone here is extremely friendly, and not an intimidating environment, which was a concern of mine. Amazing place! Give it a try!

If you are looking for a Trainer, you have to strongly consider Basics and Beyond! I have worked out with many different trainers and Anthony at Basics and Beyond has by far been my favorite. He was extremely inventive in his work outs. I was sick of the same old work outs and needed to challenge my body. Anthony was fun to work with and he did a great job of getting me in shape. I strongly recommend Anthony and Basics and Beyond! They are the best in town!

I had a wonderful experience working out with Adam. This was my first experience with a personal trainer and it was everything I could have hoped for. He listens to you, helps you set personal goals, and you will achieve them with Adam. He is so knowledgeable and passionate - and makes you feel comfortable during your workouts! Adam will cater to your any need!

I have been working with Basics and Beyond for just over a month now. The expertise and knowledge of Dan (my trainer and nutritionist) is EXCELLENT. I have had some serious health issues in the past and Dan is getting me back into a Healthier state. No matter what your baseline condition is I think Dan can help you achieve your goals! Thank you Dan

My highest recommendation of Dan who understands your physical needs and knows how to address them with concentrated attention and a variety of physical exercises. He has made a very real difference in my physical abilities. I enjoy recommending him to my friends.

Dan DeFigio is an excellent trainer and offers expert and high quality service, attention, and assistance. His staff is kind, courteous and genuinely cares about a clients well-being. After many years of doing basically the same fitness routine, I was in need of serious guidance to create something new to help me with chronic pain and balance problems. He did an excellent assessment and has designed a new routine that has given me greater strength, helped restore my balance, and greatly reduced joint pain and movement challenges. I highly recommend Dan and his entire staff of Basics and Beyond!

We have been working out with Basics & Beyond for several years. We highly value our trainer. We appreciate the equipment, the variety of exercises available and the friendliness of all of the staff. It is also valuable to have Dans advice available.

It was intimidating working wirh a trainer as someone who is super out of shape. So glad I started working with Jon despite being worried I was a lost cause. Jon has been incredibly kind and so helpful. The value he provides is off the charts. Hes easy accessible, very flexible with scheduling, and his workouts will make you sore for days.

Angela is my trainer and she is absolutely the best, knowledgeable, patient, funny and enjoyable. Angela is positive and motivates me! Thank you!

I have a very serious, chronic back condition that has required two surgeries and resulted in major nerve damage in my leg. Subsequently, Ive seen several physical therapists with only minimal improvement. Dan has been genius at helping to diagnose the root of my problems. He then works hard, creatively, and sensitively to help me progress… not just maintain my gains. He is by far the BEST physical therapist and personal trainer with whom I have worked.

I have had a great experience with the team here. Tim has been a great trainer that has helped me work around some medical issues that I have and I have always felt well taken care of and that I am indeed getting my moneys worth haha

As a workaholic IT professional, I suffered severe neck and shoulder pain, and after two months with Basics and Beyond Fitness & nutrition, the pain is gone, and my posture and energy are improved. My trainer, Arren King, is very mindful, patient, and attentive.Just go once and you will know that it is a good investment. Give your body a chance to heal itself.

Very good training and nutrition regimen. I was having lower back issues, and with the help of the core training I took, I made immediate and ongoing strides in my core strength and flexibility with fewer trips to the chiropractor.

I cant say enough good things about my experience with B and B fitness and nutrtion. After difficult life circumstances threw me into a tailspin this past winter, B and B was instrumental in helping move back into positivity and the flow of life.They are professional, compassionate, and, Best of all, fun to work with (!!!)

From a bad fall to a great half-marathon.When I first reached out to Dan, I lamented how little time I had. Travel, work, kids, work. I was working the equivalent of three jobs and traveling a lot. I knew I needed to work out, but I was afraid of so much. I started working with my trainer, Arren. A perfect match for me. Encouraging, consistent, but creative in the ways he helped me get through those hard first few weeks.Then the worst happened (or so I thought).I fell and broke my wrist in September, just a couple of months after I started. The bad kind - surgery and pins and plates BUT because of Arren and Dan and the incredibly supportive set up of Basics and Beyond, the experience helped me in so many ways. I figured out how resilient our bodies are, how consistent work really can make a difference, and more. Oh, and to get use of my hand/wrist back, it meant at least a couple of hours a day doing exercises. Funny how a time excuse can be removed quickly when your livelihood is at stake.I went from that fall to a new commitment to making sure I took the time to take care of myself. I signed up for a half-marathon in October and used my rehab time to also start training. Arren helped me prepare and train in the gym, he helped me navigate how to go from nothing to 13.1 miles in 3:30 or less, and he walked me through how to eat and prepare for the actual day.Not only did I go strong the whole race, but I now have full use of my hand - its actually the one holding that medal!Thank you Dan, Arren, Tim, and all the team. I did it because you do a great job every day!

Dan Defigio helped me become much more confident in my abilities as a trainer/coach through his extensive knowledge and creativity. He also helped me with my own exercise routines!

My trainer Amy Lamb is awesome. Im totally committed to my personal training and making progress all the time.

I participated in Basic and Beyonds Quarantine 15 program. Thanks to the program, I dont crave sweets, chocolate, or bread; all of which are HUGE for me. I also lost weight, feel more alert, and have not had a fibromyalgia flare since I started it. This means more to me than anything because Ive suffered for years with fibro, and have spent all that time desperately trying to figure out what my triggers were for the flares, as well as how to manage cravings. I cannot express into words how great I feel! The menu was wonderful and I still used the recipes. And my husband loves them as well!God bless you, Dan!I cannot recommend them enough. Just go once...you will be glad you did.

Adam Metacale is a phenomenal trainer and Basics and Beyond is the best choice for personal training in Nashville.

Great facility, great faculty, great experience.....I highly recommend Basics & Beyond.
