Wish the weekend hours were open earlier and close later. Mon thru Fri nice 5 to midnight. Also, the hot tub has been an issue working but not properly, then closed one day and still not fixed right. Other than that, great knowledgeable staff and courteous and very sanitary clean gym..4 stars do to Hot tub

Was conned into signing a personal training contract under false conditions. When I signed up for the gym membership I received a free body scan and consultation with one of the employees, where he mentioned a personal trainer. I said I wasn’t interested because of my illness that would make it difficult to keep up a routine of doing a session once a week. I have fibromyalgia and I never know when it’s going to flare up badly. With just the initial gym membership I could come at any time around my flare ups. The employee explained if I felt like it was too much, I could cancel at anytime. I did the training for about a month and a half when I experienced a flare up that lasted a while and decided then was the time to cancel. Called up the gym and they told me it’s in the CONTRACT THAT I CAN’T CANCEL UNLESS I MOVE OVER 20 MINUTES AWAY FROM A NATIONAL FITNESS LOCATION!!!! I explained I was told otherwise by the employee that signed me up and the manager did NOTHING!!! These people are liars and crooks! They say I owe $2000 and have sent it to collections. I can’t believe they would stoop so low as to lie to me to get me to sign up. I wouldn’t of signed up for the contract if I wouldn’t of been able to cancel. If I ever go to a gym again, it will be elsewhere! Do NOT sign up for a contract of any sort here!

The National fitness is a nice looking gym and the place would get more business if they would quit the horrible car sales pitch to get you locked in their contract deals. Stop over charging people and locking people in contracts that are extremely difficult to get out of. They want me to pay 50.00 extra for a maintenance fee, really???

The most least costumer friendly association I’ve ever been apart of. They do not care about their members, just their money. I have never left a review on anything before but this has to be said. Unprofessionalism at its finest.

Deceitful and conniving company. Do not start a membership here. They are overpriced and the locker rooms are not sanitary and are old. When you decide to cancel, you better dot every I and cross every T or they will get you with additional fees and continue to send you vague information on how to even cancel. The employees are trained to do this. Avoid the frustration and stay away from this crooked company. Ideal rating would be -10 stars.

IF I COULD RATE A -10 I WOULD. MOST DISHONEST, SHADY COMPANY EVER. DO NOT JOIN OR YOU WILL PAY OUT THE NOSE TO GET OUT. I CANCELLED WITH MANAGER JOSH WHO TOLD ME I WAS LUCKY TO CANCEL WHEN I DID AS IF I HAD WAITED A DAY IT WOULD BE ANOTHER MONTHLY CHARGE. SURPRISE - THEY CHARGED ME AGAIN. WHEN I DISPUTED IT, THEY CHARGED ME AN ADDITIONAL $40 TO CANCEL FOR A SECOND TIME. IF I WASNT TRYING TO BUY A HOUSE, I WOULDNT HAVE PAID IT - THEY ARE SHADY, DISHONEST AND CLEARLY OUT OF MONEY TO DO THIS TO A 3+ YEAR MEMBER.

This is my favorite place to workout and my home away from home. The environment and culture is excellent there. Its a place where Ive made a lot of friends and is just a great community overall. My favorite employee there is Miranda Carpenter. Shes so nice, friendly and supportive. She always cares to say hi and ask the members about their day and show interest in their well-being. She is like family there.

It is a wonderful facility that me and my children both love. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. I love ❤️ being greeted with the warm smiles every time I come in. My favorite part is the childcare program where I know my children are in safe hands. The staff always goes out of their way to interact with children make sure they are having fun. Especially Shannon at the oak ridge location. I know my children are in safe hands with her.

I briefly tried out this gym for less than a week. I moved out of the state and back to Florida. I canceled my membership. I was told I need to provide documentation that I moved back to Florida which I did. I was then told everything would be taken care of. Instead of canceling it like they said they were going to because I no longer live in the state of Tennessee. They went ahead and put $5975 derogatory mark on my credit report.

The staff at this location is 5-star. The cardio equipment is not up to par with any of the cheaper gyms, so I am excited to see my 3-year commitment behind me. Unless youre looking for a place to swim, this simply doesnt live up to the competition....and there are other places to swim. Again, the staff is great, but they cant make up for the outdated equipment.

I have been a member at NFC Oak Ridge since 2011. I attend several group fitness classes and have been very pleased with the results I have achieved. Most of my classes have been with Melissa James as my Instructor. Because she is an exceptional Instructor I decided to join Drive and WOW! I can not say enough good things about this class. I was ready to add a new challenge to my workout routine and Melissa delivered. This class is amazing. She will push you to your limit and then some. I have experienced many results. Lost inches, muscle tone and a higher endurance than I ever had. This class is 30 minutes of intense training. If you are looking for a challenge, weight loss, muscle tone etc. you will find it here. The group setting is positive and motivating. Melissas knowledge of fitness is excellent and something I appreciate as a member.Thank you NFC for offering this class and choosing an exceptional Instructor to teach. I love my results!

I love, love, love this gym! I take the Body Menders, Water Aerobics, and Gentle Cardio Conditioning classes for Seniors and it has really helped with my balance and stability. I use the Ladies Only Area or Movie Theater on other days and the privacy is very welcoming. This place is huge and the most non-intimidating gym I have been to. The manager is Josh and he has taken great care of me and my whole family. He is very knowledgeable about fitness and spent a lot of quality time to educate our family and help us make healthier choices. I really owe them a lot and highly recommend the to anyone. We are so glad to have a place like this in our small community.

Ive been pulled around for a few days now, trying to cancel. Im finally canceled, and Im very disappointed at how long it took to do it. I miss going to the gym, true, but we cant afford the risk of Covid any more and now we are done. Id say, go down there in person if youre trying to cancel membership. And if that doesnt work, call corp.

The Management make it difficult to work with our military accounts. We were given “7 Day gym passes” to pass out to people, and we told we can’t use them any more. Simply because the worker who gave them to us does not work there anymore. Seems like Golds gym process was smoother and faculty actually worked with us, while our accounts were processing. Several Military members have had issues with this corporation.

I have had the privilege of working with Danya for the last several years as a my personal trainer.She is a very informed, intelligence and motivated trainer. She cares about her clients and strives to help them be successful in maintaining a level of strength during all stages of life. I am so thankful for her.She is an asset to National Fitness Club.

Amazing facility, and a wonderful and great staff. I use to be comfortable in my normal workout routine at a local gym i use to use with less equipment. Really didnt think it would make such a difference moving to this facility. Oh was i wrong! This place is amazing and i now see more progress with myself than ever before. Thankyou Skyler Chaney for showing me and introducing me to this great gym!!!

My favorite gym. Ive been to them all. Workout 24/7, Planet Fitness, golds.. but this is where its at. The staff is friendly, the gym is super clean, and there isnt an overcrowding issue. I havent used the child care yet, but that is another reason I enrolled at this gym. I have the $40 membership, and you really cant beat the price for the quality you receive. 5 stars.

I have been a member here since 2012, and I have nothing but good things to say about National Fitness in Oak Ridge. I recently added my four-year-old to the “Kids in Motion” program and worked with Kathleen in the sales department. She made this process easy and smooth!I am also extremely grateful for the childcare program that they offer! The entire childcare staff is wonderful, but my kids particularly love Shannon! They always have lots of fun when they get to visit their friends while I work out!

I I joined NFC Oak Ridge 4 years ago this January. A friend challenged me to join and I have never looked back. About 4 months into my membership I started going to the group fitness classes with Melissa James where going to the gym suddenly became FUN and something that seemed more social than work with a room full of people with similar goals. Definitely a life changing experience.

Ive resided on the West Coast, East Coast and Midwest, while I travel frequently throughout the country and internationally. Ive visited many fitness centers and the very best experience Ive had has been at National Fitness Center (NFC) - Oak Ridge. General Manager Josh Vandergriff is passionate about fitness and the members at NFC Oak Ridge. The staff is friendly (from the moment you walk into the fitness center), while it is consistently clean and organized. Josh is always engaged with the members, providing fitness advice while checking on their progress. I highly recommend NFC Oak Ridge!

This is the only review I’ve ever made. If I could give this place 0 stars I would. It took me about a year to cancel my membership. Every single time I’d call I had to leave a message, and I specifically told them I couldn’t take calls after 4 pm because I wait tables. Keep in mind that there is only ONE person who can cancel a membership at this huge facility. They would only call me when I was unavailable, and I have a few friends who work at this location, and have told me that the gm, Josh, purposefully dismisses phone calls from people wanting to cancel memberships. I called for months on end, and one day I threatened to call corporate he was magically available to talk to me. When I voiced my issue he said “I don’t have time for this” so I went to corporate for help. Thankfully, they had a few fees waived, but I still had to pay for December and it was only the second day into the month. This company is out to get you, and take all of your money. DO NOT JOIN NFC. Join Workout Anytime, when I wanted to leave it took about 10 minutes, no hassle.

I often refer to the gym as my Happy Place and that reference goes directly to the Group Fitness and more importantly to Melissa James. There are no great classes without a great instructor! She is an amazing instructor who truly cares about her entire team and makes us (her team) feel welcome and takes our goals personally. Shes no pushover and you will be a stronger, tougher and better person from taking her classes.

Love NHC and in the best shape Ive been in for the last 10 years! I never in a million years thought I would get into group fitness because Im such an introvert, but the instructors there really make the classes fun and everyone is very nice. I especially recommend Body Pump with Melissa James, what a work-out!Dance classes are the best too -- I know, right?!? I never thought I would ever do a dance class because I am so shy, but my experience in other group fitness classes made it easy to give dance a try. I love it. :) Confident you will too. :)

Review №44

Excellent facilities. Up to date machines, and a decent pool for swimming laps as well. I would have to echo the individual who gave a 1 star review, though, when it comes to customer service. The sales reps will pressure you into signing the contract, will talk to you while youre trying to read it (I presume to KEEP you from reading it), and there is a LOT of fine print, here. For example: Want to cancel? You cant. The only way you can cancel membership is if you live over 35 miles away from any National Fitness or Court South location. Who in the HECK would drive 70 miles there and back to work out at ANY gym? Once you sign the contract, the couldnt care less about you. The sales rep gets their commission, and you are chopped liver. For this reason, despite the excellent facilities, I cant recommend this place to someone looking for a gym. Go to a gym that appreciates and respect its clientelle.

I visited this gym after I visited the other gyms in town. I joined NFC because everyone was very friendly and the customers, from young to old, looked like they were there to get fit and healthy compared to the other places where they were there to throw big weights around and leer at my wife while walking through. Ive been a member for over a year and love it. Ive lost 30+ lbs by following the plan they gave me and by working on the machines and walking on the track or exercising in my favorite room the Movie Theater. My children love the different activities the counselors plan for them and cant wait to go back. Im happy here and have told all my friends about this place. Im writing this review to let other people like my wife and I that if you are looking for a clean, family friendly and comfortable gym to join you cant go wrong with joining National in Oak Ridge, TN.

I have been a member at NFC Oak Ridge since January 2011. Of the numerous features the club offers, I found the group fitness classes to be of most benefit to me. Of all the excellent Group X instructors I have had in the classes I take on a regular basis, Melissa James has been and continues to be outstanding. Her expertise and enthusiasm have motivated me to work hard and made me keep returning over the past five years. I have not been in this good of shape since I was in the Army and I have Melissa James to thank for that! She always makes newcomers feel welcomed and pushes her regulars to achieve at the highest level!

I am fairly new to Oak Ridge and have only been a member here for a few months but I am definitely glad I made the choice to join. Having a few different options in the area I know this was where I wanted to go from the second I walked into the facility. The girls at the front desk are always very nice and friendly, and the smoothie bar is great for on the go nutrition. After Joining, I expressed my workout goals to Justin and he pointed my in the direction of Drive, a high intensity group fitness class. I tried out a few classes and the instructor, Melissa James had me hooked. I love the camaraderie of everyone working, sweating and suffering together. She is very motivating and always pushes her class to the limit. In the month that I have been taking her class I am already noticing small improvements in my body and cant wait to surpass my health and fitness goals. Everyone here at this faculty including Josh, Colin, Justin and Melissa make me feel like family.

This is by far the best Gym I’ve been to since I started working out....

I joined NFC in Oak Ridge a year and half ago and I thoroughly enjoy all the facilities offered there. I especially enjoy the JAM classes and Melissa Cavendar James is a Great instructor. She makes the classes fun and calls out the steps throughout the routine so it is easy to follow. Melissa also watches all of the class participants to make sure we are doing things right and that we do not hurt ourselves (such as in Body Combat and Body Pump).

Cant say enough good things about NFC in Oak Ridge! We originally chose the Oak Ridge location because it was the closest facility with not only childcare, but P.E. classes for homeschooled kids! Our kids love going to the gym, enough to motivate me on days I might be tempted to skip. Ronnie at the front desk is probably the most upbeat, positive person I have ever met, always greeting us each by name. Josh, the Kids in Motion instructor makes the classes fun and challenging. And the childcare staff make the time my son spends in there so fun he doesnt want to leave! Christina and Lauren are a big part of that, though all the childcare staff do a great job! I would highly recommend a membership to anyone considering a gym!

My wife and I have been members of NFC since it opened at this location in Oak Ridge. We have enjoyed the benefits of a clean and well maintained facility with a dedicated manager (Josh) and staff. They are accommodating and supportive of our social group (Coffee Mafia) which meets in the lobby following our workouts.Trainers like Kathleen are available to answer questions pertaining to workouts and anything related to use of the gym. We especially appreciate Alexa sharing some of the latest research information on how to get the most benefits while using the equipment. She took time out of her busy schedule to instruct several of the members in a session lasting an hour or more. She plans to follow that with other sessions to cover additional equipment.

Getting in the best shape of my life in Drive class with Melissa James!!! She is really a great motivator and takes the time to make sure you are doing all the exercises properly. You should come check it out 30 min 3 days a week... Hard work great results in minimal time.

When I first joined NFC, it was temporarily housed in the old Western Auto Parts building, which doesnt even exist anymore! Since then theyve built the great facility they have now and have really grown. They have an impressive amount of activities for the children, most of which are totally free, and I feel confident leaving my daughter in the childcare room when I need to. But most of all, the Group X classes are AWESOME! The instructors are well-trained and make it so much fun (special shout out to Melissa James, my homey and an amazing instructor!), and the people in the classes become like a little family. It hardly feels like work when youre having such a good time! The staff is great and the facilities are well-maintained. I definitely get my moneys worth at NFC!

Friend Skyler Chaney invited me one day and I really enjoyed the experience. Had everything I needed for a good workout and think it is a great place to get a lift in.

Lots of workout options, including personal trainers, of course. Movies on a big screen in the cardio theatre help the workout fly by. Well designed and maintained facility. Very clean. Not quite on par with the Signature Club in West Knoxville, but still nice.

Clean and well laid out gym. It has a ladies only room, a basketball court, a hydro massage, a pool, an upper area with a track, cycle room, weight room, and a movie room with several cardio machines. The membership is affordable, and there is also child care available during certain hours. Highly recommend!
