“CrossFit Knoxville is so much more for me than just a gym. It’s a lifestyle. It’s a place that helps me grow not just in strength and fitness, but also in mindset, happiness, and overall self-development. What keeps me strong and patient through a long workday is knowing that the best hour of the day is waiting for me after work.
Each class is thoughtfully structured: it starts with a solid 10–15 minute warmup to get the body moving, followed by a skill or strength component where we learn new techniques or refine existing ones — from Olympic weightlifting to gymnastics to cardio-based movements. Then comes the highlight: the WOD. The coach cranks up the music, and for those few intense minutes, we give everything we’ve got. It’s challenging, it’s rewarding, and it’s always worth it.
I want to give a huge shoutout to the incredible afternoon coaching team, Coach Allyse, Clay, Emma, Dave, Karri and all the other great coaches. They are consistently supportive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in each member’s progress. Whether you’re brand new or a seasoned athlete, they meet you where you are and help you push just a little further.
CrossFit Knoxville isn’t just about working out. It’s about staying healthy, building confidence, and finding daily joy through movement and community. I couldn’t recommend it more.”
“This gym truly feels like a community! Michelle A is an amazing trainer and yoga instructor with a background in physical therapy and ballet, so she really understands how to keep the body strong and healthy. Wade is always friendly and passionate about his members and the welcoming environment he’s created. Thanks to this gym, we always feel ready for our adventure vacations — whether it’s 17-mile mountain hikes or diving 90 feet underwater. Highly recommend for all ages!”

“Outstanding gym! All the coaches are great, very supportive and make class enjoyable for everyone, and all skill levels of fitness. Owner is also extremely nice and welcoming. I’ve done lots of different fitness methods and training, but to me this is by far the best!”
“Joining the Steel Room was a pivotal point in my life and literally set me on a life changing course. I have seen my body change physically through my years here, and I have been transformed mentally & emotionally as well. I have worked hard in, AND out of the gym ON ME. I have taken the encouraging and LIFE-GIVING words spoken to me by our trainers to heart. I believed them when they told me that I can do hard things- that whether I think I can, or I think I can’t……I’m right. I have found STRENGTH in every way since I found this place. I am ABSOLUTELY stronger physically. It’s easier to measure that, and I know that I’m strong. What’s harder to measure is the confidence & strength I found inside. I am more confident & secure with myself & who i am. I found strength to seek help & find freedom from my disordered eating, my relationship with food & my distorted body image. I have found the BEST community here that keep me accountable & encourage me every time I walk in the doors. I’m so thankful for the Steel Room.”
“Dropped in for a few days and had a great time! Coaches and community were very welcoming and the gym itself is pretty cool! Has a feel of a real grassroots CrossFit space. They currently follow PRVN programming and there were some great workouts the few days I was there. Well worth it!!”
“This is my favorite gym that I've ever had a membership at. Went here while I lived in Maryville for 6 months in 2020/2021 and am grateful to have had it. It's open 24/7 and they gave me a key, but even during the day it never seemed crowded which I was grateful for. I made alot of progress here”
“Had knee replacement and went there for therapy. They take time with you and stop when it hurts too much. They move on to another exercise that will do the same thing just a little less stressful. Kind and professional.”
“This is my 4th week going here and I absolutely love it! Staff and clients all are so friendly and helpful for the newbie. The entire facility is so clean, everyone wipes down after each use and staff are always cleaning I find this very impressive. I actually feel cleaner leaving then when I came in! Lol. It's not huge by any means but the machine to people ratio is always great. Highly highly recommend!!”

“The staff are exceptionally nice and always super helpful. The gym floor and equipment is well maintained and very clean. Have been here for many months and no complaints whatsoever.”
“I’ve been going here since high school. The sauna was amazing when wrestling and needing to cut weight. I know work night shifts while in college full time and the bottom being open 24/7 allows me to always be able to come in which is amazing. The atmosphere and people are great, never feel judged while working out. Great variety of equipment having just about everything you need.”
“We were looking for somewhere my niece and nephew could have swim lessons and the available times worked out perfectly for our schedule. But NONE of it could have been possible without the help of their staff member, Amy!! She spent a considerable amount of time with me on the phone getting everyone signed up and locked into the classes. She was very kind, patient, and willing to help!”

“I was previously a member here but chose to leave due to management issues at the time. However, since the club transitioned to new management (Biggest mgmt upgrade ever to Carter)I decided to rejoin—and I am so glad I did. Carter has completely turned it around and it is once again a fantastic facility. The standout feature is definitely the unbeatable group fitness program led by Suze. She does an incredible job of listening to member feedback and consistently brings fresh, updated classes and the latest releases to the schedule.”
“I've the cleanliness if this location. The staff is friendly and helpful with using the equipment and that massage chair is just so top tier for folks on a budget!!”
“The West Knoxville NFC is the best health club I have ever belonged to, and I've been working out in gyms for over 50 years in five states. The facilities are clean, the equipment is in good working order, there is an astonishing variety of equipment available, and the staff uniformly friendly and helpful. And the cost is extremely reasonable--I pay less than I had been paying for a previous gym with far fewer amenities. I'll be a member here for the foreseeable future!”
“Love the staff at this planet fitness! I usually go around mid afternoon and it’s not too busy. No tootsie rolls or barbells other than smith machines here (im always curious if PF locations have these so I hope it helps).”
“Golds gym on walker springs is the gold standard when it comes to gym experience. From equipment to staff and environment, I’ve never left a workout thinking that I could have had a better day.”
“My husband and I have been members at the gym for some time and just signed up for stretch sessions with Joanna and Cash. We are extremely impressed with both of the them and although we are only several sessions in, we have noticed a huge difference in the way we feel. They both take considerable time and effort with us and specifically target our problem areas. They are FANTASTIC and truly care about their clients. We even got sent home with stretches and exercises to do on our own. They make it a point to stop and check on us when they see us working out and you can tell they genuinely care about our progress and how we feel. If you want to try them out, be sure to sign up for a free stretch session with Cash and I guarantee you will sign up for more!”
“Stephanie (Party) is kind and effective as a coach /trainer. Rhema is welcoming and the coaches will scale the workout to your needs. I started working out again after a decent pause and requested the CrossFit version of couch potato to 5K to get me back into shape. Party delivered. I feel better and stronger. Don’t hesitate to try them. Great community!”
