Reviews of Franklin Strength & Wellness

Alea Weiner

My fiancé and I joined Franklin Strength in January after months of looking for a gym that would motivate us and have small group workouts. We were so excited to find Franklin Strength and it’s been everything we hoped for and more!! Chris is an amazing trainer and always motivates us to push harder. We have loved getting to know all the members and it always feels like we are going to workout with our friends! Definitely recommend!! A great place if you are new to the area and looking for a great workout and new friends!

Jeanne Natwick

I have been training at Franklin Strength for 3 months and feel stronger and healthier than I have in quite some time. This is due to Chris and Perry, whom are phenomenal coaches that are focused on making sure each exercise is done with accuracy while encouraging me to maximize my efforts as I work towards measurable goals. Coming to class 4-5 times a week is not a chore, I look forward it. I’ve worked out at number of gyms, but Franklin Strength has to be the best community I have ever experienced. I would highly recommend!

Jeff Jones

I have been going to Franklin Strength for 2.5 years now. Class sizes are small so it feels like a personal training session. Chris, Staci, and Perry are all awesome trainers, motivators, and very knowledgeable. They are all passionate about fitness and helping each member accomplish their individual goals. The workouts are well thought out fun. Something different each day.

Hayden Piskie

I have been attending classes here since November, and my experience has been awesome. Chris and the team at Franklin Strength are the very best. The workouts are creative and constantly varying. Being able to sign up for classes, with trainers that hold you accountable, is what helps you become more consistent. If you want to see real results, come and visit Franklin Strength.

Cody Reynolds

This gym has been great!!! Workouts are well planned out and there is an amazing community here with excellent trainers. Class sizes are small so you get one on one help but still have the encouragement and motivation that comes with a group class. My form has been greatly improved working out here and I have increased my lifting weight significantly in just a few months! Chris plays great music too!

Joy Goodwin

I have been working with Staci at Franklin Strength for 3 months. I had been trying to lose some weight for over a year, but was not seeing any results. I began working with Staci, and her nutrition program has given me the real results for which I had been hoping. Staci is so friendly, knowledgeable, and encouraging. She has been an excellent coach and accountability partner. She gives expert guidance and advice, and is personally available answer any questions I have as I have been working toward my goals. I am loving the difference that Franklin Strength is making in my life!

Chris

Franklin Strength and Chris are awesome! They make working out and getting in shape fun! I am new to weight lifting and strength training but Chris always teaches the foundations and helps correct form so you don't hurt yourself! Highly recommend to anyone looking to get in shape in a friendly and welcoming environment!

Mindy Goudy

My daughter was looking for some strength training in the volleyball off season. I am so glad we came across Franklin Strength and Wellness! The group youth training sessions are kept small and they provide each individual attention with focus on proper technique. Chris and Perry are positive, motivational, and make weight training fun. My daughter and I definitely recommend Franklin Strength and Wellness!

Catherine Rezak

I started going to Franklin Strength several months after having a hip replacement. Now, one year later, I have never felt stronger! Thanks to Chris, my personal trainer, coach and cheerleader, who really knows his stuff. The gym is well-equipped and workouts are varied and geared to my personal needs. Love this place!

Kristen Howe

I started going to Franklin Strength in 2021 when I just needed to get out of the house. I typically like to work out at home, but going to this gym has been great! The class gives you a sense of community and the coaching is top notch. You can work out at your own pace with an already planned structure and guidance throughout, which is the perfect scenario for me!

Noah Miller

Franklin Strength and Wellness is a great place to work out for everyone no matter their experience. The instructors are excellent and will take the time to help you with exercises you are struggling with, as well as help to make sure you have excellent form while completing the exercises. I would highly recommend for anyone who is looking for a great place to workout with people and staff who care about you and want to see you improve.

Jessica O’Dell

My teenage son has been in Youth Strong for a couple of years & loves it. He’s gained strength and confidence. He’s become really knowledgeable about how to safely lift weights. Coaching staff is top notch. He’s not just another kid in the group. They take the time to get to know the students as individuals and hold them accountable in a positive, encouraging way.

Paul S

I am having an amazing experience training at Franklin Strength! My initial session with Chris consisted of coaching of the core lifts.We covered the deadlift, squat, bench press and overhead press.Even though I consider my self an experienced lifter,Chris helped me to dial in my technique and form on all my core lifts. Chris along with Perry lead a dynamic training environment. I greatly appreciate the high level of expertise they both provide during the group workouts. If you want to get strong and fit, Franklin Strength is the place to to do it!

Jay Cougan

tldr: If you're looking to lift weights in a group setting with professional guidance, there does not exist a better place at a better price. I landed here after trying out a couple of other group workout settings, I knew I needed the accountability and guidance. Honestly, free weights always somewhat terrified me. Something about all that weight held up from crushing my body...by me? And that was before I started lifting what would have seemed like the impossibly heavy weights that I'm lifting now because of training here. Chris & Perry are phenomenal coaches. The people who you're in these classes with are friendly, bright, & encouraging. And you're lifting on top tier equipment. I could tell you lots of stories about the absolute pleasure of being greeted by their friendly faces, and how I actually look forward to walking into Franklin Strength & Wellness but I'll tell just one that I find extremely telling of the quality of this gym. About a month & a half into the program I felt like I was starting to hit a wall (it was also lack of sleep but that's a different story). I didn't realize I was getting discouraged until I came in the next week to the announcement that we were changing up the training regimen because they had noticed some of us were starting to peak. Like a good DJ they read the room before we knew what we needed ourselves. Like I said, true professionals. Anyways, I doubt you've read all the way through my stream-of-consciousness novella here, but if you have I'm sure I'll see you at a morning class soon 💪🙌🏻💯 Thanks Chris, Perry, and team!

Sudharsan Narayanan

I joined Franklin Strength and Wellness a month and a half back and i feel like I have made the best decision of my life. This is the first time i am doing any kind of weight training in my life, Chris and Perry have made this a really fun activity that i am looking forward to every day. I have tried bouts of cardio earlier and have always given up in few weeks, but this time i really love to hit their place every day. They focus on the technique and the 1 hour group training pumps me up with energy till the end of the day. The folks who work out there are super friendly and treat you like family. They are really happy to see you make progress and its a great community. Thanks Chris and Perry for motivating me and I am really looking for a very long journey here.

Ray Green

I have been working out at Franklin Strength for about a year. I had some health problems and lost weight and muscle tone. Chris has been helping me get back my strength and flexility. I like the exercise variety and personal attention. I'm 76 years old and feel in much better shape since my workouts started. Thanks, Chris and Franklin Strength!

Sapna Kripalani

My 15 year old has been enrolled in the youth strength classes for a year and loves coach Chris and Perry for their energy and motivation and the variety of exercises they teach. They encourage kids to get the most out of their workout and emphasize good form. She really likes being in a class with kids her own age.

George Lynn Davis

I'm getting older and wanting to get stronger and healthier, but I don't know much about working with weights and strength exercises. Mostly, I've been a long distance runner. So, I was looking for a place that has strength programs that offers interval training with close supervision by trained professionals. I'm two months into their programs and am totally happy with their friendly care, and my progress. Chris and his trainers really care about their clients, and it shows. I'm proud and grateful to be one. UPDATE: I've now been attending sessions almost 5 days a week since late December 2021. We are now in a new facility with all new equipment, and it is wonderful. My body is a lot stronger and better looking, and I'm feeling better mentally and emotionally. Recently, I got an unsolicited compliment on how healthy I looked. That made me smile. Chris and Perry and their associates do a superb job supervising every person and every exercise in every session. The value premise at Franklin Strength is beyond my wildest expectations. Join us and experience how truly good it is.

Gemma Ingram

For my Father in law who trains with Perry, but is not tech savvy. 84 and training 4 days a week at Franklin strength and wellness with personal trainer Perry Tate. One of the best trainers I have worked with. Perry is a great guy and is dedicated to the success and safety of his clients. He evaluates the clients needs, preferences and focuses on any limitations. He is very knowledgeable and communicates in easy to understand terms. He is very focused on form so the client obtains maximum results with measurable progress and safety. He is very conservative when increasing levels of an exercise. Two issues that I have experienced great improvement in the few weeks of training with Perry, 1) Injured knee several years ago resulting in loss of range of motion and discomfort during certain movements. Currently ROM has greatly improved and little if any pain or discomfort. This has provided me with the ability to perform exercises that I had avoided in the past. 2) Impingement in shoulder has limited me in certain movements and considerable discomfort. Currently able to perform movements with little awareness of any limitation or discomfort. ROM has definelty improved and improving muscle strength. Highly recommend Franklin Strength & wellness. Chris Hoepfner the manager and Perry Tate as Personal Trainer.

Kathleen Janson

Chris and his team provide an excellent program for any individuals that are at any stage in there physical development! The professionalism that Chris exudes coupled with his passion for his clients development! You will succeed in meeting your goals because of his team and their commitment to get you there!

Erica Malone

Chris and Perry are AWESOME! There is truly a passion behind what they do. They are very knowledgeable and build their workouts around your personal goals. I love being a member here!

Nancy

Love Franklin Strength! I've taken the classes and 1:1 training and have enjoyed both. Perry and Chris are excellent trainers!

Justin O'Sullivan

They are perfect for both young and old to get healthy and stronger in a natural, responsible way. Chris is excellent. He has a wealth of knowledge, is extremely personable, and takes personal interest in his clients and their health.

Robyn Huebsch

Franklin Strength is a great place! The workouts are challenging and the trainers are excellent. The staff treats you like family. If you are looking for extra motivation, Chris is your man! He is knowledgeable and will be your greatest cheerleader!

Chris Stevens

I went to Chris with severe low back pain going on 2 years with no improvement. I had an MRI and was diagnosed with degenerative L5-S1 disc. I really just wanted to strengthen my body to prepare for a pending “inevitable” surgery. 5 months in and not only have I made a friend for life with Chris but my back pain is 90% gone. I’m also seeing definition in my body that I never have before. Chris tailored a workout perfect for my situation and even made every session “different” from the previous. I am in my mid 50’s and have never been able to stick with a program like this. I credit Chris’s targeted and varied fitness approach along with his encouraging personality, gentle accountability and a desire to get to know me. I don’t feel like a client. I feel like a lifelong friend. The facility is also perfect for my needs. No fancy intimidating frills but all the right gear for a great “Rocky” workout. I can’t recommend Franklin Strength enough.

M Carneal

My son Sam has been working out at Franklin Strength for about a year now. I have seen an amazing transformation both physically and mentally from his workouts with Chris and his team. He is more motivated and focused with everything he does. Can’t say enough good things about this place. He’s not just a number there but Chris makes him feel like family.

Janice Rudolph

Great youth strength program. I have two daughters who have been going for years. Very well trained professional staff. Chris is really careful to teach proper form. The program builds strength and confidence and teaches kids to be comfortable in the gym and to enjoy exercise. I would highly recommend this program.

Stacey Smith

Can’t say enough good things about Franklin Strength and the coaching staff. The gym is small enough to feel like you’re with family, but big enough to provide a great variety of equipment and space to move in. My teen loves his work outs and always feels empowered and strong when he leaves. If you’re looking for a gym to call home, this is it!

Matthew Claerbout

I've been working out at Franklin Strength since November 2021. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time working out with Chris and his staff. The personal attention and variety of workouts has kept me motivated and enthusiastic about maintaining a routine. I've enjoyed the progress I've made so far and wish I had started here long ago.

Elisabeth Escalante

Franklin Strength is THE BEST GYM. Every trainer or staff member I have worked with has taken a sincere interest in my personal health and fitness goals and has maintained consistency in providing encouragement, knowledge, and support for the two years I have been a member. I always have fun in class and I always feel welcomed.

Stephen Horvath

I reached out to a few gyms when I was looking to get back into training. Out of the 3 I reached out to, Chris at Franklin Strength was the ONLY one who called me back without me having to call/message multiple times. After exploring the other gyms, I hit Franklin Strength for my first class and knew my choice was clear, FRANKLIN STRENGTH was it! I’ve been hitting the strength training hard since December 1st as I’m trying to be the absolute best version of myself for me and my fiancé on our wedding day in June. I must say Chris, Jerry, and Pat have really helped me rocket towards my goals. There are GREAT members here and it’s definitely a family feel. Even after a hard/long days work, I ALWAYS look forward to meeting up with the fam at Franklin Strength and hitting the workout with all I got! If you’re looking for great coaching, a fitness family, and not being judged for your current fitness level, but instead being cheered on to reach your goals, than this place is for you! Check it out, you won’t regret it! 💪🏻

Luke Skonieczny

I just started working out at Franklin Strength and it has been an amazing choice. I have been lifting off and on for several years and tried out a few different gyms within the Brentwood/Franklin area, but I think my short time at Franklin Strength has convinced me this is where I want to stay. I have already improved on my basic technique of core movements to build muscle: bench, deadlift, squat, and press. The Adult classes are about a hour long, and in the time you are able to get a full workout in without rushing. Chris, the main coach for the classes, takes the time to answer questions and check everyone in class to make sure they are lifting correctly. The other people in class are welcoming and friendly, and the classes have a positive, encouraging atmosphere. I would recommend both beginners and experienced lifters to try out Franklin Strength because the classes provide everyone with more to learn and improve upon.

This might be the best kept secret in the Cool Springs area. I joined with my son in March and we keep coming back. If you're looking for strength training without feeling like you have to compete with everyone in the room, this is the ideal place to be. You'll not only build strength, but confidence as well! Plus, you just might make a few friends too. The coaching team is encouraging and they’ve been helping me achieve my goals without shame or embarrassment. No competition / great people.

Brandon Kline

I've been attending classes now at Franklin Strength for over 3 months now, and I can openly say they are an amazing experience. The classes challenging, fun, and are always changing. I can definitely feel the growth and see the change from the workouts. The coaches are incredibly friendly, and will work well with any level of experience to ensure you get the best results. The community is close and all push each other to achieve the best results as well. I can say joining Franklin Strength was a great choice.

Kelly Ross

WOW! What a wonderful experience. I was in town for the weekend and was hoping to find a class I could drop in. It was a Friday night and it seemed all gyms were closed.. until I found Franklin Strength! The gym was clean, the people were amazing and made me feel right at home. I felt totally comfortable and I was CHALLENGED. I learned, I got really sore, and I met some great people. I would TOTALLY go back if I lived in town. Don’t hesitate to give it a try. Chris was very knowledgeable and passionate about what he does and I couldn’t recommend this gym more!

Jacob Schell

I have been attending Franklin Strength for 2 months now and this is a great gym, with an awesome group of trainers. The classes can accommodate all levels of fitness and they deliver the expected results. I would recommend anyone looking for a challenging, yet rewarding training experience, to join Franklin Strength!

Jana Miller

My kids have been going to Youth Strong for two years… they are taught in a professional manner how to properly use gym equipment and the importance of keeping your body healthy. It is challenging and they see results. You don’t have to be an athlete in a sport to train… it is for everyone. My husband and I both have done Private training with Chris for over a year.. he is amazing… makes you want to continue your progress and show up. We love FS and so glad it is a part of our families lives

Anya Ward

Love the workouts, equipment, space, and people at Franklin Strength. It’s community and having fun while pushing ourselves! Great coaches! They care about each person and where they are in their journey. I have already seen results in my short two months but more than anything I feel strong and empowered.

Dee Cantrell

We wanted to build up our 6th graders confidence through working out with peers while getting fit at the same time. He feels comfortable here. Franklin Strength is very specific about their technique so they learn the correct way to do things preventing injury. All of the other kids are great and supportive of each other. I can’t say enough about the positive energy Chris brings to the group. He is always encouraging and uplifting! We couldn’t be happier with his experience!

Kelly Reynolds

Best trainers ever!! Chris is super knowledgeable and very motivating. Staci was amazing at helping me get my nutrition on track. Highly recommend to any age and any level.

Arthur Cook

In 2020, I decided to undergo bariatric surgery to deal with my unhappiness about being unable to be active, especially with my son. My weight was a secondary consideration: I wanted to be active and strong. I knew that getting into exercise was a critical component of how I wanted to respond to this surgery. I started running, but also wanted to do traditional weight lifting and strength training. However, I'd never done any of that before, and my previous trips to a gym could be counted on one hand. I hired Chris as a personal trainer, and attended some of the group classes. The group classes are great, but I wasn't ready for them when I started my fitness journey. Chris has been an excellent teacher, and I can't tell you how much I look forward to working out, when it seemed like a miserable chore just a few years ago. I've learned so much in working with Chris, and he is as much a positive coach, pushing you to grow your strength as he is a knowledgeable fitness guide. He knows my goals, and has tailored my workouts to meet them: preparing for races and growing in traditional weight lifting. Franklin Strength is exactly what I was looking for in a gym, and I suggest you'll find the same level of excellence here too.

Adrienne Robinett

An awesome place to be to get stronger and have fun!!! I have been in the fitness community for a long time and I truly appreciate folks who know what they are talking about and are capable of getting you gains. Chris is fun and welcoming and helps everyone from beginner to seasoned athlete. Join you want have any regrets!!💪🏽💪🏽 …

Sally Barkley

Started personal training thete with Coach Chris and it has been a game changer. I needed the guidance of how to properly lift weights without injury but still challenge myself. Coach Chris has a fantastic attitude , always in high spirits and helps push you. We have been a client for right at 1 year and have seen wonderful gains in that time.

Kirby McGuire

My son has been going to Franklin Strength for a while and he loves it! The staff has been so great at teaching him the proper way to do strength training. It has been such a positive and rewarding experience for my him!

Phillip Clark

Great gym with a lot of variety. Most workouts have a mix of strength training and conditioning and can accommodate all fitness levels. The trainers are good motivators and keep things fun, and a great bunch of people workout there. Highly recommend.

Mustafa Ahmed

I love this place. Coach Perry and DJ/coach Chris made me love working out when I used to hate going to the gym.

Denise Buster

I have been part of several gyms since moving to Tennessee in 2005 and Franklin Strength is like no other. The trainers care about you on a personal level and help you to be your best. They hold you accountable and expect you to show up and go all in. I also have found that all of the people that come to the gym are like my family and I look forward to every new face I see. I will greet them and support them the same way that I have been supported by so many others in this gym. Love this place!!!

Chris Jackson

I travel for work and can be in a place for around 3-4 days. I utilize the MINDBODY app for drop-in opportunities and found Franklin Strength. The complete welcome you receive from the instructor and class members makes this gym amazing, and from there get ready to work. Amazing workouts will have you pushing your limit, breaking a sweat and learning new ways to excel at fitness. Truthfully if I lived here I’d work out here because the challenge is present and the support is there. - Chris

Katie Donovan

Franklin strength is great! Would highly recommend working out with the trainer Chris here. He is very knowledgeable and has a positive attitude! If you are wanting to get stronger this is the place to go!

Heather Davidson

The trainers at this gym make it! They are personable and create a very friendly atmosphere while creating constantly new and challenging workouts. I've always been impressed with how they offer to help me work around any issue or injury with safe movement alternatives.

Jocelyn Pierce

I have 4 kids (ages 16,14,12 and 10) who have been going to Franklin Strength Youth Strong program for a year, and absolutely love it. Great instruction and awesome teachers!

Jenn Fitzgerald

Best gym in Franklin, hands down. Trainers who care about you, your fitness goals, and insist on proper form to prevent injuries. Has been great for the whole family, and the only place that even offers a family package. No fluff, no weird hype - just solid, consistent work outs and a whole community of people who enjoy that.

Lola Shonaike

I did my first bodybuilding competition and took first in both of my classes. I was talking to my boyfriend about how I got into my fitness journey. I realized it honestly started with Franklin Strength. I went on Groupon, looking for a group training class, and stumbled upon this. The first day kicked my ass, and I would show up late(a bad habit I had) and one of the trainers called me out on it. Eventually, I started coming on time, to not get called out on it, lol. At first I was afraid to lift beyond my limits for fear of getting "bulky", but the opposite happened. I started to look smaller and more toned. Also the family culture here is amazing. I attended this gym about 3 years ago, and only reason, I stopped was because I moved from Nashville. I highly recommend it, they are so encouraging, the instructors care and they will push you to your best. They also keep track of your performance monthly to gage your progress.

David Praet

I've been attending classes 2-3 times per week for the last 6 months. We usually have around 10 folks per class. Our usual schedule is 30 minutes of weight training and 30 minutes of cardio. It can be pretty tough in the beginning, but the trainers are very patient and the support from your classmates is pretty strong. This is a great option for those who need a little help to push themselves beyond their comfort level. That being said, this is a serious gym for serious people. Real weights, real work, and a lot of sweat flying.

Chris Holt

Awesome Gym! Big thanks to Luke as well as Crossfit Freeflow staff for allowing us to drop-in while in town. Top notch equipment, welcomed us in and allowed us get our work in. Would be a member of this gym if I lived in Franklin. Highly recommend Southside for those who are serious about training.

Kimberly Chubb

Franklin Strength has been essential in helping me to return to my pre-baby body. Chris is a high quality trainer who makes classes that fit all activity levels and continues to help you push your limits higher then expected!

Courtland Burton

If you are looking for a "fluff gym" and want people to think you are working out with movie stars please don't come here, If you want a family and people who will always push you to be the best and support you when you fall down this is your gym! I love Franklin Strength and Daniel has been amazing. Thanks brother for helping me get back into a shape I can be proud of!

Julie S

I love this gym! The trainers take you where you are, in shape, out of shape, or somewhere in between and make sure you get the most out of every workout! They listen to what aches and pains you may have and adapt any exercise to benefit the individual person! And......they make it fun! I look forward to 5am!!

Giovannie Vilomar

Awesome place to strength train. I visited the gym one day while on vacation and had a great experience. John, a competive lifter in the state and trainer at the gym, welcomed me and provided excellent customer service.

Rob Thomas

I can not say enough good stuff about Franklin Strength and Daniel. My 14 year old son went in to get in shape for football and came out not just physically fit but with a new found confidence in himself.
