Best gym in Cookeville. Friendly staff, student discounts, and a great gym environment. It has the rustic gym smell that makes you want to push to the limit. Old school machine equipment like the pullover, tricep extension, and lying leg press felt great , and newer equipment like a pendulum squat and chest supported row make it a must go to gym.

I have good friends who are personal trainers at Absolute Fitness, and I can honestly say they’re the real deal. They’re not just your average trainers they’re professionals with deep knowledge in fitness, nutrition, and bodybuilding. Many of them compete at a high level, and what really stands out is how personally invested they are in each of their clients goals.

The gym itself has a great mix of commercial machines and free weights. There’s also an upstairs area with plenty of space and equipment to keep things fresh. What I really respect is their variety of programs not just for adults, but for kids too. It’s clear they care about building a healthy community, not just a large membership base.

If you check it out, ask for Allison or Chris based on your trainer preference. They truly walk the walk, and talk the talk. You’ll be in great hands.

This gym and its members helped be go from a dedicated couch potato to a bonified bodybuilder. This gym changed my life. EVERYONE is friendly and so helpful. You can literally ask anyone in that place questions if you are unsure what an exercise is or where something is and they will go out of their way to help you learn. It's the most supportive community I've ever been a part of. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Really awesome. Chris Is great. Recommend this place. 10/10. Although I wish there was more Cable stations and smith machines due to it getting busy. But I could just come at night or a less busy time to solve that Busy problem. Over all. Really really Solid if you want that 90s 2000s Gym Look with the badass rusted weights and Used weights. 10 out of 10.

Overall decent gym, worked out here for a couple years but I decided to switch gyms recently. The equipment is decent and there's a good selection, actually a lot of useful machines that other gyms in Cookeville don't own. But I really dislike the bench presses they have, and it's my favorite movement so it's disappointing. They only have two benches, one is terrible to use (slippery, narrow, and very low to the ground) and the other one is okay, but the rack is slanted and it's almost always being used by someone seeing as it's the only decent bench press in the gym. The entire dumbbell/bench press area is EXTREMELY small and cramped, feels awkward to lift in. I think if they switched the placement of the bench presses with some of the machines on the other side of the wall then it wouldn't be as bad, but it's not very enjoyable the way that it is right now. They have a safety squat bar and a deadlift bar, which I'm a huge fan of using both so that's great. But a lot of the normal barbells they own are at least a little bent, if not extremely bent. This is probably from the heavy rack pulls I often see members doing. In my opinion, it would be better if they had dedicated bars for rack pulling so the bars would be kept in better condition. In conclusion, I like the gym, but I think it could be better in a lot of ways. They offer $5 day passes (as far as I know) so feel free to go and try the gym for yourself. I know I said I lot of negative things about it in this review, but I think it's still a good gym and deserves a try if you're in Cookeville and looking for a gym. They have tons of members with amazing physiques (including the owners) so it obviously works!

Awesome gym! Jennifer and Vinnie (the owners) are great and go above and beyond for people. No contracts so you can pay month to month as you go. Would highly recommend!

Why is this? I've been a member of three gyms over the years and have had a great time in all of them. Whenever I read reviews for gyms no matter where they are located they always have bad reviews. Even brand new, top of the line gyms get bad reviews. Is the whole gym system broken? Do customers just have unrealistic expectations of gym experiences?

Don't ever go to this gym. They will charge you even after you cancel your membership. Always read before signing and ask for copies and never trust anything they say.

I wish there was staff at the front desk so I could have gotten a membership there since I'd heard such good about it and the massage therapist didn't have to leave her task.
Ended up going somewhere else.
May try again when my 3 mo special ends at my current place..
Also seems all the fitness trainers are booked.😥
Cookville in general needs more that offer in person training as opposed to virtual .
