Our personal trainers understand that location, schedule, and convenience are vital parts of your fitness journey. Whatever your situation, we tailor our personal training services to meet your needs. You have your choice of several conveniently-located fitness centers to make sure that getting to your personal trainer doesn’t prevent you from working out regularly. Or you may feel intimidated by gyms and prefer to exercise in the comfort and privacy of our own home. Whether you’re looking for a gym near Nashville and the surrounding areas, or are looking for a reputable online personal trainer, Basics and Beyond has you covered.
Our personal training services also believe that diet planning, exercise programs, and personal coaching services are all integral to your success. We counsel our clients about their eating habits, help them improve their lifestyles, and maximize every aspect of our training process. The more personal your plan is, the better the chances are for success!
Basics and Beyond fitness & nutrition’s personal training services are firmly established and well-respected. Since 1993 we have maintained a stellar reputation of success (see our online reviews!) by recruiting best personal trainers in Nashville. Given the extensive experience and qualifications of our coaches, we are prepared to work with clients of virtually any condition, background, and objective. We are always up-to-date on the latest exercise trends, equipment, and effective workout plans to make sure you get exactly what you need!
We also offer personal training services online, and online nutrition coaching. You can work out in the privacy of your own home with the live guidance and assistance from your online personal trainer. For more information about how to get started with online fitness training, just contact us and we’ll find a time to talk.
If you’re seeking personal training in Nashville (or the surrounding area), our personal trainers work with clients at multiple locations in Nashville, Berry Hill, Franklin, and Antioch. We can also do in-home training if you prefer.
We do not own a gym. We use existing facilities (where you do not have to have a gym membership) so we can concentrate on you! Call 615-442-7700 to find out which location would be most convenient for you: Green Hills, Cool Springs, Downtown, Music Row, The Gulch, Berry Hill, Antioch and Nippers Corner, Hickory Hollow, or in your home.
Personal training fees range from $25 to $125 per session, depending on which trainer is selected, the location of the workouts, and whether you book a 30 or 60-minute session. We do not require any packages or contracts — you may pay as you go. The optional online nutrition coaching service comes at a small addition cost, but we give a big discount to our personal training clients if you’d like to add it. P.S. You should!
No, we have special arrangements with the facilities that we utilize so our customers do not have to purchase gym memberships. No contracts, no packages, nothing to “sign up” for.
Contact Dan DeFigio, Director, at 615-442-7700, or by email (don’t forget to include your phone number). The two of you will discuss all the details of your particular situation, and together you can decide what will work best for you. Click here to meet the trainers!
