Nashville may be best known for its live music and impeccable food scene, but the city has earned its place as a fitness hub. That’s exactly why we created a list of gyms to get you started as you navigate the wellness world of Music City. But trust that we will be releasing lists to share some love for our yoga, pilates, barre, and cycling studios too! If you’re ready to dive into the weight-lifting, cross-training and HIIT scene, here’s where to break a sweat in Music City.

SHED Group Fitness Belle Meade
At SHED, you’ll focus on a different muscle group each day of the week while moving through 3-5 stations of moderate to high intensity exercises. SHED offers private training sessions in addition to their group fitness classes. Their SHREDDER class focuses on raising the heart rate to ensure you get a sweaty cardio sesh during your week!
We’re partial to the OG location in Belle Meade, but also happy to share that SHED has expanded to The Gulch, Germantown and East Nashville, while also growing outside of the city too!
