1-on-1 Personal Training at Our Fitness Studios

Our most popular choice is private, one-on-one personal training. You get a session that’s all about you — your body, your goals, and your needs.

You’ll meet your personal fitness trainer at one of our Nashville training studios. We keep the spaces clean, calm, and friendly — no loud gym crowds or waiting for machines.

Here are our current locations:

Virtual Personal Training – Train at Home

Not everyone likes going to a gym. Maybe you’re busy, maybe you prefer privacy, or maybe you just feel more comfortable at home. That’s why we offer virtual personal training through Zoom or FaceTime.

You’ll still get everything you’d get in person:

  • A workout made just for you 
  • Step-by-step help with your form 
  • Daily support and encouragement 
  • A coach who checks in and keeps you going 

No driving. No traffic. Just a personal trainer showing up on your screen, ready to help you move, stretch, and feel stronger right from your living room.

In-Home Personal Training – We Come to You

If you’d rather see a trainer in person but don’t want to leave the house, we’ll come to you.

In-home personal training is great for:

  • Busy professionals 
  • Parents with little ones 
  • People who feel nervous in gyms 
  • Anyone who wants total privacy 

You don’t need a full home gym. Most workouts can be done with just a mat, some light dumbbells, or resistance bands. And if you don’t have anything at all, your trainer can bring gear along.

Personal Training for Small Groups

Some people like to train with a friend or family member. It adds fun, keeps you motivated, and you both get the support of a trainer — at a lower price.

At Basics and Beyond fitness & nutrition, we offer small group personal training sessions (duos or trios). You still get expert help, but you’re not doing it alone.

Bring a friend, a sibling, or your partner and make fitness something you actually look forward to.

Nutrition Coaching – Because Food Matters Too

Exercise is important, but what you eat matters even more when it comes to weight loss and feeling good.

We offer nutrition coaching both in-person and online. Our certified nutrition coaches help you:

  • Understand what to eat 
  • Improve your eating habits 
  • Manage cravings and stress eating 
  • Set realistic goals that fit your life 

There’s no judgment and no strict diets. Just real, simple advice that works.

If you prefer daily check-ins and more guidance, we also offer nutrition coaching by email and phone. You’ll get:

  • Feedback on your meals 
  • Tips to stay on track 
  • Gentle reminders and support 
  • Encouragement when you feel stuck 

This service is super helpful for people who struggle with consistency.

Help for Emotional Eating and Sugar Cravings

We know that food isn’t always just about hunger. Sometimes, we eat when we’re sad, stressed, or just bored.

Our team includes Dan DeFigio, the author of Beating Sugar Addiction For Dummies. Dan is an expert in helping people with:

  • Emotional eating 
  • Late-night snacking 
  • Stress-related food habits 
  • Sugar cravings and mood eating 

If you’ve been through this before, you’re not alone. And you can get help in a kind, simple way that really works.
