NBS Fitness

A serious training gym for people who want results. Open 24-​hours, NBS recently moved next door to a newly remodeled building. Clean environment and well maintained equipment. Onsite credentialed trainers can work with you 1-​on-​1, or you can join a fitness workshop. I’ve been a member for over a year, and see this place as hands-​down far better than the corporate gyms. No distracting yoga or spinning classes. My quality of self-​confidence has greatly increased since joining. Want even more results? Sign up with a personal trainer and their nutrition program. I’ve lost 14 lbs of flab and put on 10 lbs muscle in the year. Well on my way to my goals.
Staff are very friendly and supportive. whether you’re a beginner or seasoned power lifter.

If you want to get hardcore, this is where you go work out. The great thing about this gym is that even though it caters to athletes who are really dedicated to heavy lifting and serious gains, you do not have to perform on that level to work out here. But expect a macho gym feel– down to the music and the environment. I personally love that because it really gets you in the zone. You can hop on a treadmill and spend an hour not really changing your body at any olé gym, but this is NOT the place for dilly-​dallying!
Very friendly atmosphere, and everyone is more than willing to help (which is great for someone like me who’s a little intimidated).
It’s not the gym where you go waste time– you go to NBS to get after it. The owner is very dedicated to his mission, and he (along with all the regulars!) will make sure you know your way around. It’s nice to be able to approach them for advice on ways to target muscle groups and lift with proper form.
If you want to challenge yourself and surround yourself with people who take fitness very seriously, go to NBS.

I trained at this gym for about 6 months before I had enough and quit. This place is dirty, people are rude and obnoxious, and the coaches don’t know what they’re talking about. Any basic Crossfit gym would be a better place to start lifting. I strongly suggest that you to look elsewhere.
Cleanliness– Hair, dust, dirt, and grime are lingering in all the corners. Really nasty. Staff doesn’t thoroughly clean the place… What can you say from staff that walks around sweaty and barefoot? Ew! The bathrooms are nasty. Cockroaches and cobwebs everywhere you look. Don’t walk, RUN away from here!
Friendliness– Past setting up your membership, they could care less about you. If you’re not a part of their ‘team’ then you’re just in the way.
Music– I have personally had to ask the owner several times to lower the volume on the music. It was so loud that I couldn’t hear my own noise canceling headphones. Not to mention the constant and very intentional slamming of weights and yelling. I’ve worked out at an old school gym and this beyond any definition of reasonable!
Attitude– Everyone here seems to have this better than you attitude. The skill level just isn’t that impressive for the crazy ego the regulars display everyday. Only a handful of good althetes here and too many steroids floating around for my taste. Did I mention they had a guy flip the monolift? Resulted in multiple members getting injured and the owner just sent out an email to everyone and acted like it didn’t happen. Hell, the owners wife walked right in front of me when I had 100lbs overhead. Where’s the lifting etiquette?
Experience level– I have watched the coaches teach members to perform exercises incorrectly and continue to give the members the wrong cues. Bad form is a regular sight and people are going to (and regularly do!) get hurt! I had to tell a coach to stop cueing me and leave me alone because he kept critiquing my squat! I never asked for his advice why did he feel like I needed his opinion? I wouldn’t trust any of them. Ask them about their own injuries before you let them tell you how to lift!
Equipment– A few beautiful and expensive squat racks are the only nice thing here. Multiple different plate sets all mixed up and totally unorganized. Many plates are cracked or damaged from being dropped repeatedly. Owner will not consider buying more or better quality plates. They allow people to damage the equipment. I confronted a trainer about it once and he just shrugged me off. Crappy cheap barbells. You can find better at any basic Crossfit gym. Wouldn’t you want a better barbell instead of a fancy squat rack?
I was taught to lift by championship and world record holding weightlifters. I was looking for a place to lift and it was nothing short of a nuisance to bother with this place. I am much happier at a fitness club where people are polite, courteous, and the facility is clean!
P. S. Don’t let the chiseled ab pictures fool you! The owner and his wife (yes that’s who you are looking at, NOT clients!) absolutely do NOT look like that on a daily basis! Lol photoshoots only!

Undoubtedly the best gym in Memphis.
There is no other gym that will routinely surround you with success and positivity.
With professionals who uphold the highest standards in their field and the experience to back it up, you will find no greater value in a gym anywhere — and a place that makes it fun as well.

The only thing I can say is I wish I would have joined 3 years ago. The people are by far the most knowledgable I have ever known. I been working out for years with no change in health/​weight/​appearance. After 5 sessions with David I can see and feel a deference. Thank you NBS

Ok people, this is the premier training facility in the region. Elite powerlifters, strongmen, bodybuilders, sumo wrestlers, NFL players, military, police, firefighters all train here. All walks of life walk into these doors and forever become changed. This place has chalk, loud music, weights crashing down, professional grade equipment and the ambiance that makes you want to train, and train hard. Whether you want to just come in and do your own thing or become a high level athlete, this is where it can happen. It sounds intimidating doesn’t it? Well it’s not. The typical «strongest dude in the gym» is average at best here so the egos are checked at the door. Everyone is nice and willing to help. Professional training is available and the owner is extremely picky about who he hires. The amount of experience here is mind boggling. It’s open ²⁴⁄₇ so there is no hours to worry about. Check this place out. It’s hands down the best gym in the region.
