Stop by InsideOut and check out any of our 50 classes a week that are FREE for our members. When people ask what makes us different from all of the other gyms and health clubs in Memphis, the answer is simple - EVERYTHING! From the sheer number and variety of our FREE classes to our exceptional staff and personal trainers, InsideOut is definitely a cut above the rest. No other gyms in Memphis have a friendly staff and welcoming environment like InsideOut. Ask any one of our members, or come in and see for yourself.

InsideOut is Midtown's Gym. We first opened our doors almost 12 years ago on Young Avenue in the heart of Cooper Young. That was 1996 and we moved to our current location at 2162 Courtland Pl in 2001, and are now even more centrally located to all of Midtown.

What continues to make us different? How about having the owners on site all day, everyday! There aren't many gyms or many businesses whose owners manage and actively take part in the daily running of the business. That's the difference at InsideOut. Donna, Natalie, and Lisa work, manage, and teach classes at the gym on a daily basis, so your concerns as members are the priority. Our goal is to offer our members the best and the newest in the fitness industry - so that you don't get bored, so that you continue to get better.

BOXING CLASSES, BOX AEROBICS, ZUMBA, MORE SPINNING, MORE ROWING, MORE, MORE, MORE! 2,500 brand new square feet of workout space, including new lockerrooms, a new Rowing studio, a new 700 square foot classroom, and a complete Boxing area AND NEW CLASSES TO GO WITH IT!

SPECIAL PROGRAMS - CLASSES

Training Prescriptions - For about one third the cost of traditional personal training, members can sign up to receive training prescriptions from one of our personal trainers. Every week, your trainer will send you a new program to help you reach your goals depending upon what those goals are. Check out the personal training page for prices and complete details.

SWEATSHOP AND RE-SHAPE. Two of our signature group training programs conducted exclusively by InsideOut personal trainers. SweatShop targets people who are in shape but need to push themselves to a new level. It's intense and unforgiving - not for beginners. Re-Shape, on the other hand, is perfect for all levels from beginner to advanced. And both programs educate participants on all aspects of fitness, including cardio vascular exercise, weight training, and nutrition.
