goPerformance & Fitness

I love this place! I definitely recommend the 5 week boot camp. Great way to get back in the rhythm of feeling good and healthy!

I’m incredibly thankful that I found GoPerformance! It’s a really great gym and the trainers are some of the nicest, most encouraging, and experienced trainers that I’ve ever worked with. My daughter, who is a college athlete, called the GoPerformance Strength class the «best workout she’s ever had.»
It was a little hard to find at first as it’s in the basement of the Cummins Station building and I’m new to Nashville, but now that I know where it is, I’m finding it super easy to get there. And they offer free validated parking in the lots across the street from the building.
Before moving to Nashville, I had let myself get really out of shape and I was little intimidated about finding a gym because I was worried I’d get injured starting up a new program. Luckily, the trainers are GoP are top-​notch. Because of the small class sizes, as mentioned in other reviews, you get lots of personal attention. I’ve only been going for a month, but I’ve already noticed a big improvement in my endurance. I may have even lost a dress size!

Great location. Great Great hours. My only complaint is there a lack of Wi-​Fi. It’s 2016 GoPerformance, get with the times. Wi-​Fi is no longer optional, it’s a must.

GoPerformance has some of the coolest and latest equipment ! They cater to people of all fitness levels and have some of the most knowledgable trainers and fitness programming in all of Tennessee and the US. They care about their clients and strive to get them to their goals while keeping them safe and healthy. There are a lot of different crossfit gyms in the area but GoPerformance offers so much more, and does it without HURTING THEIR CLIENTS. I am a physical therapist and hate seeing people get hurt by doing too much too soon and/​or with the incorrect form. Trust that you are in good hands with the trainers and staff at GoPerformance!

By far one of my favorite gyms in Nashville. I’ve been coming here for the past 6 years. I love this gym bc of its 24 hr access and the privacy it offers for me during my workouts. I’ve been a one on one training member for 3+ years and absolutely love it. Especially after a few health set backs this year. I’ve got more out of my training sessions than I did out of my physical therapy during recovery. My trainer actually takes the time to get to know me and any issues in having and we address those first and foremost. I would absolutely recommend this gym to anyone who is looking for a place in Nashville!

GoPerformance is a great gym. I have been going here for two years and am very happy with the facility and the service.
The training staff are great here, especially their in-​house crossfit programming. The classes are kept small so you are always getting the attention you need and you’re form is spot on.
One of my favorite things is the gym is never crowded, a big problem I think with most of the «big box» gyms. GoPerformance is a hidden gem on Cummins Station… oh and they validate your parking for the surrounding lots.
Overall, nice and clean facility, great staff, convenient location to downtown, and better pricing than many other gyms in town.

Hidden place (Cummins Station building), great find.
The Research: I moved here from Chicago and spent some time looking for a convenient, good priced, 24/​7, versatile gym. Besides the first gym I ever went to out of college (Gold’s, which was great), most of the last 12 years I’ve gone to big box-​type gyms, which I loved due to having so many options, machines, classes, etc. There aren’t many types of places like that here, besides one or two places. I went to check out pretty much every gym in the area (Downtown/​Gulch/​Midtown/​Berry HIll/​East Nash), did a ton of research and trials, and I found GoPerformance to have a nice, clean gym, that’s available 24/​7, and a friendly (i.e. non-​judgmental) environment. You’ll see people at all levels of fitness here, which was great for someone like me who is trying to get back into shape after a break. The prices in Nashville for gyms go from cheap to very expensive. This one seems pretty middle of the road. The bonus, for me, is that the place is available ²⁴⁄₇. I travel a lot, so being able to come in at any time put my mind at ease, and was important to me. Parking is free for up to 2 hours.
The Gym: This isn’t a big place, but you’ll find most of the stuff you’ll need here. There are a lot of multi-​purpose machines, as well as free weights, rings, small track, cardio/​mobility, big tire, etc. There’s also a separate room where they do CrossFit. You can use that room when CF isn’t using it. It has a punching bag in there, which is nice. The thing that unexpectedly turned out to be the best part of this place, and I wasn’t even really looking for it as a major thing, was the training available. I was looking for personal training, but just to get me started again after some health issues kept me from working out for awhile. There is one-​on-​one training available, but I was given the suggestion that I might benefit from group classes first, and it turned out to be great advice. Honestly, at first I thought the classes were going to be too easy. I was dead wrong. I thought I’d do it for only about 3 months, but it’s been 8 months and I’m still sticking with it because I’m learning new things that I never used/​tried, and they always push me when I might start to get complacent. They also teach proper technique for every exercise. I owe all that to Allison and Eric. They are great trainers who push you, but will work with any level of fitness. They also make sure I’m on track when I start to get away from my routines. Not in a bad, drill sergeant way (where you want to avoid training), but in an encouraging way. They seem to just want to do what’s best for me (and others) because they just want us to get better, and you can tell by seeing how everyone else loves their classes and how they’re pushed to the next level instead of being complacent (be ready to sweat, no matter what level you’re at). The best part, for me at least, is that they don’t judge you. I’m trying to fight through some health issues, so it’s harder for me to do what everyone else does, but they’re patient and work with me. I love the GoMobility classes. If you have tight joints and muscles, this class is perfect. A ton of people take the GoConditioning classes, but I haven’t tried that one yet.
The Misc.: GoPerformance also has Cross Fit. I can’t speak to that personally, but seems full whenever I see the classes. Even if it is a smaller gym than I’m used to, the place isn’t too crowded, which is nice, and something I really looked into when I was looking at gyms. The one thing I’ve noticed is that the training at this gym specifically helps with athletic movements, which I really liked. Some of the other places I checked out didn’t really do that. And, even though it’s really not pertaining to the gym itself, I’ve had Eric check on me to make sure I was ok when he hadn’t seen me in awhile (I was traveling for work for a long time, and was really sick), so I thought that was pretty cool of him. Also, the trainers actually train hard between themselves too, so you know that they’re going through pain to learn more so they can teach us. There are also competitions time to time, individual and teams, which seems to be a good bonding experience (I haven’t done those yet).
The Staff: The staff is great, and turned out to be a positive selling point for me to stick with the place. Bonnie runs the place and is always friendly, and takes time to talk to members. You’ll see her workout as well, so you know she’s not just a numbers cruncher. And honestly, probably the major reasons I stay at GoPerformance, and look forward to my classes, are due to Allison and Eric. There are other trainers there as well, and I’ve heard really great things about them too, but I felt so comfortable with A & E, that I work my schedule around their class availability. They’re both laid back, personable, driven, and all about getting everyone better.

Go is something of a secret for the locals, but too good not to talk about! Once you’re inside, it is hard not to imagine it as your secret superhero lair or dojo, as you zone in a focus on the task at hand among the stone walls of this 100+ year old Nashville landmark building.
They offer a complete array of self-​serve and guided options, with a very unique selection of free weights, machines, a «Performance Training» room for a more real-​world hands-​on approach, and more. The staff is professional and friendly, and knows how to integrate the casual gym user all the way to the fitness fanatic. While the place is always frequented by an array of folks, the environment never feels judgmental or cliquey.
This place is super convenient for those working in and near the building, as well as anyone looking for a downtown gym option that’s practical, and open 24 – 7. Give them a shot!

Want a training session that will push you with a trainer that won’t let you short change yourself, in an encouraging, nonjudgmental environment convenient to downtown? No, it’s not impossible.
I’m almost done with an initial 30 day challenge and have been nothing but impressed with Go Performance. The gym is always clean and organized. The trainers get to know you and are always friendly and willing to answer questions. Being new to lifting weights, I have a lot of silly questions, but the trainers here are always willing to take a moment to show me the correct forms or offer advice on what to do to meet a specific goal. There were some moves that were difficult to wrap my head around but they were patient while I attempted to figure it out.
Part of the challenge included both strength training and conditioning classes. The classes are always challenging and both Jessie and Brody will keep you motivated and encourage you to push just a little bit more, without making you feel judged for being in less than stellar shape to begin with (after all, that’s probably why you’re here. You should know you’re going to suck for awhile. But when you start to see yourself improve it’s amazing) There’s very much a feeling of the trainers wanting to see you improve just as much as you do. The classes are kept small so they can have more focus on each person, instead of being lost in a larger group.
They do offer one on one coaching and class drop in options. They also have Crossfit, so you’ll hear some slamming weights as they power through, but not overly so. A couple times I’ve have to adjust my workout to wait for a machine or spot to open, but never for long. The other patrons have so far been either internally focused, nice or even supportive, and I’ve never run in to anyone unpleasant as happens in some other gyms. These are mostly working/​professional folk in to squeeze a workout into their lunch or after work schedule. The gym is open ²⁴⁄₇ and does validate parking. Towel and locker service are offered too.

I love this gym. The trainers are awesome and the daily group workouts are increasingly challenging. Seriously. They’re only 30 minute workouts but due to the complexity and variability of the usually full body movements, any longer would be overkill.
It helps that I work in the same building and pass the gym at least two times a day, but everyone is genuinely encouraging about others’ efforts in the gym. I’ve never felt a community vibe like this in a gym before.
The only thing keeping this from a 5-​star review is the size of the locker room. It’s fine when there are no more than two people in there, but it can become crazy awkward quickly.

I really love this place. I’m on day 4 of my free 7 day pass. The staff is amazingly polite and other patrons are serious about their workouts. I try to avoid going during crossfit class times since it could get pretty busy but that’s my only gripe. Highly recommend!

This is the best gym that I’ve ever belonged to. It’s a bit more expensive than other gyms in the area, but it’s totally worth it!
I get to go to a gym with extremely knowledgeable (and fun) staff and I never have to wait to get access to equipment. They truly care about your goals and help you attain them.
Bonnie, Kate, Ben and the others at goPerformance make sure you never get bored of working out, and keep challenging you every time you go. I would highly recommend them to anyone!

goPerformance is the place to go if you’re looking for a low-​key approach to fitness. When I first started going, I was over 40 and had never been to any kind of gym and the staff made me feel like I belonged. Not only are they knowledgeable, but they are genuinely interested in helping you meet your fitness goals.
I would recommend the goGroup classes as a way to add experience everything they have to offer. The classes change up every month to keep the monotony to a minimum and to insure that you are working every part of your body.
Like the commercial — «I’m 45 and in the best shape of my life» and it is definitely all thanks to the team at goPerformance.

Want to get back into shape? This is a fantastic fitness center at Cummings Station. Free parking and 24 hour access. The staff there is professional and well trained. The strength of the gym is their additional «Group Fitness» classes. They aren’t as expensive as a one on one trainer but you get essentially the same results. They are also CrossFit certified and their CrossFit class is very challenging. The gym isn’t over crowded and has very nice, well maintained equipment. Con’s: isn’t the cheapest around, but is probably the best value.
