Fitness & Gyms in Oakland, TN

“I’ve spent the better part of the last 25 years lifting weights in traditional gyms but life caught up with me and I fell out for about 5 years until I decided to get back at it and try something new with Penance. I’ve been there for 3 months now and my experience has been nothing but positive. My strength is coming back without the use of a traditional barbell and more importantly, the real world application of the routines outlined by the Penance coaching staff have helped me to recognize and improve in deficiencies I didn’t even know I had. My mobility and cardio are improving to levels I haven’t seen since my twenties. I’ve seen major improvement in a bad knee I’ve had for many years now and coach Clint was even able to remedy a common muscle pain I’ve always dealt with in my lower back when under heavy work by using a simple stretching exercise I’d never considered before. I sure wish I’d have had that knowledge 20 years ago. It could’ve saved me a lot of pain, lol.Whether you’re a seasoned gym rat or new to your fitness journey, Penance Gym is the place to improve where you’re at. Great coaching staff and a great, encouraging group of members.FIVE STARS!!!”

“Not a bad gym, especially for the money. There is a lot of room dedicated to various cardio and strength machines, plus a weight area. Staff and members alike are generally respectful. I've never had to wait for a treadmill or elliptical. I mainly just wanted a place to come and sweat since there's not a good spot at my home.The only downside is that it is a little small. Since most of the room is taken with machines, there isn't a lot of room for mat exercises or your own calisthenics. If there are more than 2 people in that area, it can be a bit crowded. At this time, it's only happened once where I didn't have room to use a mat, but it would be nice if there was a little more room in this area.The whole gym is generally clean. The showers are usable, although one door doesn't latch shut in the men's locker room. The large shower has great water pressure but doesn't drain well.All in all, a decent place to work out.”
