I am a Nashville Native and I grew up around YMCA's. However, Gym 5 in East Nashville is truly the best gym in Nashville..at least public. There are always clean towels, plenty of free equipment, great and friendly staff and good music. The locker room and shower facilities are spacious and stocked with good quality products free tp use. I also have met many members of the personal training staff and they are very freindly, approchable and qualified. I have always found the front desk staff, including both the tall girls that work there, to be nothing but friendly and attentive to any requests I have. This is definitely a gym that's great for adults...but it is not a YMCA child atmosphere. Not that that is bad, actually one of the reasons its great! I actually greatly enjoy not having 10 year olds trying to use the weight machines besdie me :) just wouldn't recommend it for families with small children. Definitely worth checking it out for yourself
Pros: clean, friendly staff, not crowded, great trainers, modern atmosphere
Cons: not a personal tv on every cardio machine, not for children (pro or con)
