20 Best Free Training Programs For Adults In Memphis, TN (2022 Updated)

This is an excellent school. I enjoyed my time there very much. During those years, I grew as a person and disciple of Christ at a more rapid pace than at other times in my life. The work is rigorous and the expectations of the professors are high, but so is the task for which one is being prepared. I graduated from what was then Harding University Graduate School of Religion (Now Harding School of Theology) a little over 15 years ago, and have spent that time in ministry of one kind or another. I cannot calculate the value of this place to my work. The ways in which God works here are myriad and wonderful. The two most obvious strengths of the school are the professors and the library resources. The professors are strong scholars, and good teachers. This combination is not always found together – excellent scholarship sometimes makes one odd and gets in the way of connecting with students; the warmth and skills that makes one a good teacher is sometimes found in a scholar of mediocre abilities. Not here. The scholarship is excellent, and each professor I had was a wonderful teacher. A graduate education is as strong (or as weak) as the resources that a student can explore. One of the primary reasons that the mind grows in graduate school because one is pushed to do research. The quality of the resources one can and will access has a direct bering on the depth of research one is enabled to do, and this effects the amount of growth one can expect to obtain through graduate study. This graduate program is empowered with one of the best theological libraries in the country. The program begins with intensive training in how to properly use these resources, enabling the self-directed aspects of study to be effective and fruitful. Each class contains a research component that expects students to use the library to learn and grow. When choosing a graduate program, examine the quality of the library. You will find HST is unrivaled, even by competitors that are better funded and have more students.Ethan Brown

After completing my B.A. in Missions and working in the field for six years, I recognized the limitations of my ability to address key areas of church growth. I needed to deepen my knowledge of God, my relationship with him, and my ability to communicate this knowledge to the church in practical ways. I pursued Masters level studies to address these limitations and to "tool up" both in theology (my understanding of God and his desire for me and the world) and also in practical ministry skills. My experience at Harding greatly improved my relationship with God, my skills as a servant in His kingdom, and helped me develop relationships with both faculty and other students which has provided for me an anchor and resource over the years of ministry since then. After completing the M.Div., I continued my training in the D.Min. program, again with great satisfaction.Leslie Williams

Top-notch education from experts in their fields. When I started without much undergrad work in Bible or ministry, I worried about whether or not I was in the right place, but the administration, faculty, and staff were supportive. When I transitioned from a distance student to living on-campus, they made everything a breeze, and the community on-campus was fantastic and supportive beyond belief. The library facilities are the best for Biblical Studies, likely anywhere between Harvard and the Mississippi if not the West Coast. HST prepared me for ministry and a life of service and scholarship.Eric & Angela Hallett

From the first day I came in to visit the school until I graduated, everybody on campus was fantastic. Any time I needed help or was struggling, there was always somebody to help point you in the right direction. Everybody I have come into contact with has been extremely helpful. Throughout your program, you will remain in contact with a success coach, for me this was Mr. Hollis. Your success coach will reach out and contact you just to check up on how you're doing and see if there is anything that they can help with. Coming from a 4 year institution, I did not the advantage of a success coach and this adds a level of accountability which helps you to succeed. I have never met more down to earth individuals who truly care about helping you to succeed.Zachary Baker

I just finished one of Concorde’s many medical programs. My admissions advisor was Mr. Todd Hollis, although I believe he works primarily in the business office now, he was a great first impression as to the kind of people Concorde has working for them to help the students succeed. Mr. Hollis answered any and all of the questions I had. He walked me through the step by step application process over the phone as I was completely things on my computer at home. During my time as a Concorde student, Mr. Hollis would always stop and ask me how things we going and always reiterate that he was there to help. All of staff at Concorde really care about the students and want to see them succeed!Kourtney Payne

My name is Mya Griffin and I just completed the Medical Assistant program. All I can say is this school alone was absolutely amazing, but I couldn't start or get through my certification without the help of Mr. Todd Hollis. I thank Mr. Hollis for believing in me when I didn't believe in myself. If you are thinking about going to Concorde Career College I recommend you go through Mr. Hollis he will make sure to motivate you if you don't have any I promise.Mya Griffin

A wonderful safe, clean park to visit. Spent about 4 hours there and will def have to go back. The visitor center has the map and info if you are new to going. Also, mostly clean restrooms. The same building has a cute giftshop as well. This building sets atop the land of Hyde Lake. Adjacent to it is Coastal Fish company, which we plan to return and visit. 1st we visited the dog park area, lots of fields and some small ponds/lakes for your dog to cool off in. Huge amount to just be able to run and play, as that area dogs can be off leash. Then we went to the Hyde park area, walked around Hyde Lake, sat on some waterside lounge chairs. They have scooter and bike rentals there (via an app). Also a boat rental, but it appeared close (think everything opens 4/23 on water rentals). Definitely plan to return to do the horseback riding, the miniature golf and ape adventure area, as well as check out some of the wooded trails. This park, if guessing, to experience everything would take a solid weekend, perhaps 2 weekends. Gorgeous views!Larissa Baker

This a huge and absolutely gorgeous park located in North Memphis. Entry into this park is totally free. However, if you are more adventurous, you can pay to go canoeing, biking/scootering or even horseback riding (I just went to walk). Speaking of trails, the one I walked was beautifully scenic, surrounding a massive lake. This park is also diverse in its habitats which include meadow, swamp, and forest. There's also plenty of wildlife to see according to the information sign posts. I only saw water fowl during my trip, but that's not to say I was disappointed. Just take at look at some of my pictures. Lol There are also facilities such as restrooms, a visitor center, and even charging stations for electric vehicles. Very convenient! There is also a Fedex Forum Center where I guess they hold certain events. The food smell wafting from that area was very nice! All in all, this is an amazing park that I highly recommend checking out. You will most definitely enjoy it!Krystal Dallis

Shelby Farms Park is by far Memphis's Greatest outdoor attraction. Not only are there a variety of places to roller skate or ride bikes, the walking paths always inspire my wife work out. I have seen plenty of people enjoying fishing and swimming in a rented Canoe boat. This park is great for dog and children because they offer two separate parks a Park for dogs and two parks for children a water park and a playground be careful though is has sand. I can't wait to Host an event I would love to BBQ here. I have seen many individuals throw parties and gatherings here. They have an event center if anyone wanted to throw an exclusive event. Another note they have a gift shop. Overall the park is a great place you can't rent bikes, scooters, and boats. Expect to have fun at shelby Park farms. I'll see ya there.Darnell Banks

Our organization utilized their services that were offered, to help us obtain our certification for CPR. The services that we received from the beginning to the end were above and beyond awesome! Dr. Heyser was very professional, down to earth, and communicated throughout the whole process. The online and in person parts of the program were very thorough and informative. I would highly recommend Midtown CPR for anyone wanting or needing their CPR certification.Tonya Elliott

Dr. Van and Christian were great! We learned so much, had all of our questions answered satisfactorily, and even had some good laughs along the way. The online portion of the course was easy to follow, and very informative. The hands-on skills class tied up the loose ends nicely, and prepared me with skills I’ve already put to use! Highly recommend their services!David Pitman

Dr. Van is an excellent teacher . I feel very comfortable about doing CPR ,AED and First Aid on a child or an adult with the knowledge and hands on experience I received from Dr. Van. I highly recommend Dr. Van for CPR, AED, and First Aid training. You will enjoy his class just as must as I did . I will use Dr. Van again and again for all my CPR training .Bernadine Lewis

Hot yoga is an awesome form of isometric fitness training. It has been around for about 50 years now with its origins in Japan as developed and first practiced by the now infamous Bikram Choudhury. Many excellent forms of hot yoga have since been created and are now practiced throughout the world. "THANKS FOR INTRODUCING ME TO SUMITS YOGA STUDIO" (YELP EVENT) I consider my yoga practice my take time for self practice. This is by far the best practice. You practice your yoga poses. Stretching and flexibility and movement. Within…Your mind and spirit. You are expelling toxins by sweating and breathing. There is a lot to be said about the breath and deep breathing techniques while doing yoga. It helps focus your mind on the moment and to not focus on the heat and others in the room. The mirrors are for focus on your form and figure. This is a great place to practice. There was different forms of music changes, lights that turn on and off and those moments of cool fresh air that rushes a sense of well being. All that stimulates the mind and body. It's really something to experience and to regularly practice. Not to mentions the huge CALORIE BURN. You can EARN and BURN…at Sumits Yoga Studio. I will be back!!!!Maria Bortters

I can't say enough good things about Sumits. I was gifted a free month by a friend. I'm in the middle of my second month with Sumits and I absolutely love it! I am definitely still a beginner but each class brings something new. I feel my flexibility increasing. My awareness and acceptance of self is higher than it has been in a long time. I feel more confident in my body and my practice. The instructors are all amazing. Each one gives you a different flavor, but they are all encouraging and guide you smoothly through each practice. It's like family there. If you have any thought of trying it, please do. You definitely won't regret it!Ashley Hill

Love Sumits!! I did their 2 week trial and plan on getting a membership soon…. the Pilates and yoga workouts challenged me physically and mentally in ways that pushed me outside my comfort zone. It also has complimented my workouts I do outside of Sumits (cycle and weights) in a way that has been improving my endurance overall. Not to mention, the staff and community are a wonderful bonus. 🙂 Highly recommend trying out Sumits!!Alexis Wade

I loved my ashiatsu massage at Delta Groove Yoga. I had no idea that a massage could make such big a difference not only in how I felt but also in my livelihood, I am a violin teacher. The day after my massage my violin playing improved 100% everyone I played for could hear it. The relief of being able to use my hands and body again to make beautiful music gave me new hope for my music. The day of my session I was little nervous, but Charlene put me right at ease carefully going over all my health concerns so she could design the session just for me. The actual massage was great. The even pressure applied by the feet was much better than a normal massage with all the poking. Trigger points and knots melted away more easily than I was use to. I will definitely be back for another session. Charlene was both loving and professional and the space we worked in was calming and a beautiful.Andrew Sherrod

Thirty days for $30 was how I dove into the Delta Groove community, classes & find out how how it's different from other studios. Kundalini Yoga with Valentine opened me up to an undiscovered world within myself that needed some serious maintenance, love, care, and nurturing. Delta Groove Yoga came at a time when I was ready to leap into boot camp for my soul. I needed emotional healing & had already been through therapy. I needed the next step… a practice, something sustainable that would help me keep healing.. i didn't want to stop! Our society is so externally driven in the Western world & when you find "your" yoga (the right kind for you) it facilitates the discovery and cultivation of a gorgeous inner landscape. If this all sounds like nonsense, just try it out.Diana Sullivan

I've been dealing with panic attacks and went on Google searching for a yoga studio to help. I came across Delta and tried the Pranayama class. It was extremely helpful, very informative, and peaceful! I am so happy that I was able to arrive home in a very calm state. I will definitely come back and sign up for many more classes. I wish I would've tried yoga and breathing techniques months ago, instead of running to the ER.Renee F.

Mr. Ted is the best instructor! The class was very informative and definitely interesting! He made it very enjoyable! Highly recommend taking the CPR class from Mr. Ted. So glad I got him and found this class!! Thanks Mr. Ted and CPRmemphis!!Kendria Hilliard

This was a calm and very informative class. At every step Instructor Ted led us with wondering life lessons and a soothing voice. Many should consider having him as their instructor.Lad Bankston (Br8in)

Mr. Ted was very knowledgeable about the entire course. I definitely appreciate this course. I can honestly say this was well worth it! Thanks again, Mr. Ted!!!I Am God's Child

I initially signed up for a membership when I got an ad on Facebook back in February this year for their "Snowmageddon Special" thinking I would be able to at least go 3 days a week (T, F, S – my off days) but the class schedule is not working out for me. They're closed during the hours that work well for me since I work overnight and I have insomnia. Then on Friday they only have 3 classes. Saturday is no better. And they're closed on Sunday. With that being said, it has been such a waste of money getting a membership. I'm not financially set at all, so I really regret my decision so much. Now, one of the managers is telling me to cancel is $75 on top of every week money has been taken out of my bank account for a membership that I cannot actively participate in! 😩😩😩 Shoulda kept scrolling😢 UPDATE: I now only go on Monday and Wednesday at 4 p.m. when Ramsey is leading the class. (He said that he took over John's class for that hour…🤔) Anyway….He gives you a good workout and your money's worth! I had the choice to either pay the $75 cancellation fee or make the sacrifice of going to at least 2 classes a week; although, it does put me in a time crunch, because I have to hurry to get ready for work as I work overnight. But, it certainly has been worth it! My body is really taking shape and toning really well😊Alexis Shepherd

I've had a membership with Memphis Fitness Kickboxing for 2+ years and originally loved going to the East location, but once I moved jobs and homes the midtown location became more accessible and easier to use. My main issue with midtown location is the lack of sanitation. Since COVID, they have failed to clean/mop after each class. I've brought this up to management on more than one occasion and they say the same generic response. Yet I have even done two classes in a row, or arrived early right after a previous class and never see them actively mopping the mats. I take my own due diligence to clean my matt and bag before the class and the paper towels I use are always filthy and filled with dirt, grime, and probably plenty of sweat. Its just disgusting that they don't care to keep the facilities clean. They get new mats, and within a week or two the mats are visibly dirty. To go to a clean facility I have to drive to the other side of town to use East location where I know each trainer/coach cleans after each class!!!!Raqhelle Millbrooks

I deal with high blood pressure and needed a cardio workout to improve my health. After two months of being a member of Memphis fitness kickboxing, my goal was achieved. I will continue exercising and learning self defense techniques here. I just love Zach. He cares about the safety of his students and very attentive to their needs. From Tijuana ❤️❤️❤️❤️Greta Falls

There are no words for how grateful I am for this studio. I used to dance a long time ago but hadn't in years and I wasn't sure what I'd gotten myself into when a friend talked me into going to a Friday night group class. Yet the minute I walked through the door, I could tell this studio was not like most studios I've been to. The instructors are incredibly skilled dancers and even better teachers, no matter whether you're a beginner or a seasoned competitive dancer. The other students are friendly and welcoming and, above all, supportive of each other. Misha and Ben and the other instructors are incredibly patient and can break things down for each student in a way that they'll understand–it's truly individualized instruction. They have weekly practice parties, group classes, workshops, individual lessons–there's something for everyone. This is not a low-pressure sales type of studio–it's a no-pressure sales type of studio but you'll just have so much fun that you have to come back. What better way to exercise, relieve stress and make friends? All is right with the world as long as I get my weekly "fix" at Ultimate Ballroom!JD Morris

A Grand Holiday Yelp Event. Held at The Ultimate Ballroom dance Studio for Salsa. which is the place to go if you want to not only get your salsa fix but also to become the best salsa dancer. The two instructors we had that night are some of the best teachers in Memphis. You will develop a solid foundation which will carry you even into your advanced levels. The studio is really inviting and looks great with a wonderful floor. Come see for yourself!! Join during the week, during one of the many workshops or any of their dance socials. One on one instruction or as a group. Many different types of dance instruction are introduced here. This was fun and encouraging enough to want to join and discover another “workout” method and learn some smooth moves all at the same time.Maria Bortters

Ballroom dancing can be difficult to master unless you take lessons at Ultimate Ballroom. Misha has an amazing ability to break down the steps into easy to learn patterns. He also has the patience of Job! He can create a showcase dance that makes the beginner learner look like the winner of Dancing with the Stars! His patience and great sense of humor makes the lessons and dances even more pleasurable. He has added 2 teachers who are also fantastic. If he is planning a special occasion, you can count on a great night of entertainment, food, music, dancing and wonderful decorations. You will not go wrong taking a lesson or joining a group class at his studio!! The studio is by far the best in town!!Sarah Smith

Trained here years and years ago. I'm a middle-aged man now but that time learning Bei Shaolin Kung Fu was some of the best instruction I've ever had. Still think back on the school and Kevin often. It made that much of an impression on me, and I am grateful for the martial arts training and the spiritual guidance. I still consider myself a Shaolin warrior thanks to Sifu Miller. Wish there was something similar close to me now. Warm wishes and much gratitude!Adam Schaeffer

Very skilled and professional trainer. My young ladies church group enjoyed themselves at our self defense class and learned so much. The friendly family atmosphere immediately put everyone at ease, and we were able to gain life saving skills. We will definitely be back to learn more and I highly recommend Bei Shaolin Kung Fu Institute!Cloreinda Turner

Great place to learn martial arts, friendly enviroment, and other martial arts like wing Chun, plum flower fist, and Tai chi. Also, I like the fact private lessons are available!Venus Austin

I'm writing this review after leaving Memphis, after having gone to Envision for much of the last year. I was playing around with the idea of taking some kind of self defense/combat sport training for my birthday last year, and figured I would call and ask around the city. After one phone call with Mark, we had a meeting set-up for later that week. It was just supposed to be a visit to see the place and talk a bit, but I left there committed to 10 personal training sessions. And I am so glad I did. Working with the good people at Envision allowed me to accomplish things I never thought I could. Could I really learn how to throw a punch? Wow! I fell in love with boxing, with the feeling of being at the gym, and with the wonderful environment at Envision. People know your name, they care about you, and it's obvious they're very sincere. Envision changed my life in more ways than one, and I already miss it so much, but I'm so grateful for the new skills, self-confidence, and friendship I got to take with me. Do yourself a favor and sign up, you'll love it as much as I did.Christian Valdez

Envision is hands down the best gym I have ever been a member of. The atmosphere is so welcoming and you truly form a community with the other members and owner! Mark (the owner) is one of the most thoughtful and caring people. His calling in life is no doubt owning and running a fitness facility. If you are looking for a place where you can excel at any and all fitness levels, then Envision is a great fit. I can't endorse Envision enough.Anna Claire Gleason

This is THE best fitness studio in Memphis hands down. They believe in a personalized approach to developing a fitness plan that works specifically for you. And they believe is creating lasting, sustainable change — not quick fixes that never last. They have an extraordinary attention to member service. And they have a lovely facility. If you're new to downtown Memphis, this is the place to join.Lori Turner-Wilson

I wasn’t going to post my experience, but I think it needs to be heard. My dog had been going to Camp Bow WOW a little over a year. Initially, I loved the facility, workers and owner. I still do love the workers. However, my dog was involved in an incident where he was trying to engage another dog in play and the dog bit part of his ear off. My dog kept on playing and the staff didn’t notice it until later. That wasn’t the big issue. After numerous conversations with the owner, she ensured me that my dog wasn’t being aggressive, but the other dog was older and just correcting my dog, which I understood. Because I couldn’t leave work immediately, the staff was able to take him to their vet because of so much bleeding. The owner instructed me to give her the vet bill so that the other pet owner can pay their part. After constantly reaching out for updates, the owner of the camp finally called me and told me “she had good news, the other pet owner was going to pay half”. I was confused as to why they were only allowing them to pay half. Once I showed them the contract we signed, THEN they finally requested the owner of the others dog pay the full vet bill. My dog has found a great new daycare who has also gotten dogs from Camp Bow WOW with bad experiences. He has no issues and has bounced back like nothing happened. I think the staff is great at Camp Bow Wow, my dog truly loves them, but the handling of this situation was unacceptable and turned me away from them.Briana Giles

Our dog is getting older and has degenerative myelopathy, which causes his back legs to slide out from under him about twice per day. He isn't in pain, and he's a normal dog besides the occasional tripping. We told them that up front. When I picked up our dog, they said he wouldn't be allowed back and that I should only board at the vet. They also waited until after I paid and added a tip to tell me this, as I was headed out the door. We want him to stay somewhere he can move around, instead of staying in a cage, but Camp Bow Wow disagrees. I wouldn't take older dogs there.Cliff

Saw a job listing on indeed. Went through the entire interview process and the hiring manager never ever got back with me. I’m experienced in kennels and work hard to take care of others fur babies. So I’m HIGHLY confused on why she never got back with me. I sent Several messages asking questions and I was completely ignore so that left me with no choice but to think I was racially profile by the color of my skin. If your a POC this isn’t the location for you. Also this establishment gives HORRIBLE COMMUNICATION.Kiara Downs

WOW…..just WOW! This place is incredible! Axel is a K9 German Shepherd that I purchased to use in my armed guard company. He comes from a long line of law enforcement K9 breeders and was super hyper, full of energy and very aggressive to say the least. He is for sure a "working dog". We enrolled Axel with Off Leash K9 Training in Memphis (we live in Jackson, Tn) and they assigned him Melina, one of there training specialists for the two week board and train program. Needless to say she did an AMAZING job with Axel and he was a totally different dog upon completion of the program. She was able to train him with not only voice commands but hand signals as well. It has been about a year now and he has done incredibly well, still to this day. He now rides with me almost everywhere I go (in the back seat of the squad car) and has become a very valuable member to our security staff! Hopefully nothing will happen to Axel to cause an untimely departure but if anything were to happen to him, I would NOT hesitate to put my next dog through this program again, regardless of the cost! It was MONEY WELL SPENT!!!!! Thank you so much K9 Off Leash Training and specifically Melina for taking care of our boy and making him a valuable asset to our family and company!Scott Johnson

They have been phenomenal! My boy Benji just loved all the training, love, snuggles and never felt like he wasn’t far from home. They were very good about contacting us and informing us of his progress, things to work on once he got back home and adjusted. Our trainer was just amazing and so warm, can’t say enough great things about her and the whole company, just fantastic! I recommend anyone that is having any dog issues to seek them out and even though the prices are not cheap, you are not getting anything less than amazing results for your fur-baby. And it’s definitely worth the cost for all the amazing things they do and the hours they spend. They absolutely treat them like their own and I love seeing all the progress pictures and the adventures they take the pups on. It’s truly amazing to watch them work and transition these dogs, my big boy especially into such great dogs with excellent manners. Highly recommend and can’t wait to continue the training at home. Thanks so much to our trainer Melina! She’s just awesome and I loved how Benji just took right up with her and I didn’t worry as much. Definitely 1000 out of 10!!!Angela Hutton

Dale completed the two week board and train program with Meredith. We could not be happier with the results, and are so lucky that Dale got to spend her time with Meredith. We received positive results on everything that is outlined in the 2 week program. Meredith was an excellent communicator and Dale absolutely loved working with her. It was our first time leaving Dale since we adopted her, so it was so nice to have Dale with someone who took such amazing care of her. If you are on the fence about using Off Leash K9 Training, I encourage you to move forward with it. It's worth every penny and your dog will be in the best of hands. I would recommend this program to anyone in the Memphis area looking for results-driven and compassionate dog training.Melissa Dison

After trying a few different gyms in the area I knew pretty quickly Zen would be my final stop. I love the diversity of classes and different scheduling options that are offered each week. Everything from spin, sculpt, and yoga, etc. there’s plenty to pick from including some “express” 30 minute classes for those with a tighter schedule. The facility is very well kept and has large private showers available. The instructors are the best part of the experience! They are incredibly personable and bring a great energy to every class. The studio is always doing deals and challenges so I recommend looking into what their options are!Amelia Riley

3 years with Zen and still love it! Classes are always evolving & never get boring! Zen Studio is the BEST fitness studio in Memphis! Has all kinds of classes for all fitness levels. I've been a member a year now and am still loving it as much as I did when I joined! The owner Camden is awesome! She is constantly innovating, creating challenges and events and works hard to keep everyone motivated, even through virtual classes during a pandemic! This place is more than a gym – it's a community and the instructors are all amazing! JOIN! Will be the best decision you made!Sonika Colaso

This is one of the best studios I've been a part of. Not only do I love the diverse classes, that keep me from being bored, but everyone working there is incredibly friendly and welcoming. The staff is 100% and always want you to feel comfortable and welcomed. I'm also a very competitive person and love that they have different challenges throughout the year. It helps me stay motivated to continue to work out all year long!Chelsey Corgan

I came in from out of town, and the owner Jay made me feel like I was at home. I have been in many gyms in many places, and 901 is one of the best I've been in. It's immaculately clean, fully equipped for any type of exercise or gym user, the environment is friendly and safe with awesome members, and the owner is incredibly knowledgeable from a lifetime in the field, kind, and constantly seeking improvement, which I deeply appreciated. It's a gym environment that makes you want to be there and grow as a person, and to me thats what it's all about. Not to mention the incredible spa upstairs that I wish I could have used! I happened to come in on my birthday, and this gym was a gift. I only wish I could have stayed longer. Thank you Jay for your commitment to excellence! I know where I'll be working out the next time I'm in Memphis.Derek McBride

I’m so glad I found out about this gym, because it was exactly what I was looking for. The gym has very nice amenities and the locker rooms are always spotless clean with nice showers. The staff and the trainers are very professional and personable, which is what makes me feel comfortable starting my weight loss journey. I love the workouts during personal training with HITT and combing cardio with weight training. I also like the vibe I get with other gym members focusing on their fitness and I’m not feeling judged at my fitness level.Rachel Riffey

I absolutely love this gym!!! I have been going for about 2 months now and I love the atmosphere and I love the fact that we aren’t just a number like the chain gyms that are out there! Jay does all he can to help with just the right program to fit your needs taking into consideration any physical limitations you may have and he knows who everyone is and takes time out to say hello to everyone!! I highly recommend this gym! I have truly found my home here!Kelley Alsobrook

If you’re looking for a facial, waxing, or lashes Mary with Empire Beauty School is the way to go! I struggle with acne and prone skin areas on all parts of my body. I don’t know what took me so long to get facials because they are so refreshing and relaxing. From start to finish, Mary takes time to buff, exfoliate, massage, and give my face lots of TLC. I learned a lot about my skin and how to take care of it. It seems as if I am at a spa when I come to Empire. Mary takes good care of me every single time. I can’t wait to my next appointment next week. Hands down Mary is the BEST thing going at Empire! 😘Cookie B

I had an appointment today. My stylist was Callie D. Watkins. Her services were very impressive. She has the total package. She's professional, respectful and understands the importance of communication. I'm looking forward to becoming a client upon her graduation. I've been trying to sit in her chair since last week but she was booked for that day. Now I'm booked with her from today til she leaves! I'll follow! Book with her when you come to Empire Colonial Memphis.Claudine Henderson

Shout of excellence to the Empire School of beauty. They took me after work, the instructor was so professional and kind. My student stylist is sure to excel as a pro Mykela was so gentle I did not us my 4 bottles of set anglers., she showed concerns for as a customer provided excellent service. So pleased….Awesome customer experience… Thank You!! Great thingsKathy Owens

I showed up at Iron Tribe 3 weeks ago feeling nervous, out of shape, and hopeful to make some positive changes. I've never been a faithful member of a gym and hadn't done much strength training at all. From the very first time speaking with Grant on the phone to being coached by Madisyn, John, Morgan and Grant, I have felt encouraged, accepted for where I am currently, and pushed to become stronger and healthier. I'm halfway through my six week challenge, and I've gained confidence and am having fun learning and trying new things. The coaches work hard to make sure we have good form, modify exercises as needed, and feel encouraged along the way. The nutrition coaching has been helpful as well and is working! In my search to find the right training program, I looked at several gyms and fitness programs, but they were mostly out east. The downtown location is really helpful – and the brand new facility is nice. Today I knocked out my first box jumps and back squats, and I feel stronger and am excited to keep learning and growing. If you're looking to invest in your health, I highly recommend Iron Tribe!Katie Dunlap

I wanted to try the 21 day challenge because I was tired of trying to think of fresh exercises on my own in the gym. I didn't know what to expect, but I honestly loved it. The trainers are super nice, knowledgeable, and encouraging. The first week of eating healthy was hard, but the trainers helped me find ways to make clean food taste great. I have felt healthier and more energetic. The trainers keep great communication with you specifically about your choices of food and its all about being honest so they can help you. They really want you to do the exercises the right way, so you will not injure yourself and so that you can get the best workout for the movement. Working in a group also makes you feel a part of a team as well and since everyone is at different levels, you never feel embarrassed. Anyways, I was surprised that I loved it so much, but I would highly recommend.Kirby Wagner

I participated in the 3-week challenge! The coaches are extremely motivating and are committed to your success. It was definitely challenging for the first few classes, but I slowly adjusted to the workouts and the gym environment. Each day included a training segment on proper form etc. followed by a 12-20 minute intense workout. I would highly recommend Irontribe if you are looking to switch up your workout routine, compete in a welcoming team environment, or begin your fitness journey.Ashley Mullarkey

The Owner was not professional at all. She had a striper at our private event while we was dancing and when we asked her to ask him to leave because the ladies were very uncomfortable with him there. She got very irate with us and started cursing and ready to fight. She also was running behind the counter like she was going to pull something out on us. I also have a video of how she was talking to us.. This was by far theee worst place of business I've ever been…she was hangry and ready to come for our throats. If I could've gave her a negative 20 I would've#angermanagement#neveragainShelly B

I booked the paint, pole & sip for my lady friend for her birthday…The owner assisted me with picking the best package that she may like…she went over & beyond to help me when she didn't have to…my friend sent me pictures of how the event was set up and she was satisfied with how everything turned out…I recommend any man that wants to do something nice for their woman or lady friend to give BodyWorkz Pole Fitness a call…you wont regret itDarryl Boggan (D)

Me and my co workers had an amazing time. Our host was amazing and fun. The instructions were easy and simple. The atmosphere was positive and fun. I can see myself regularly doing pole fitness!Ebony Walls

I gave myself about 6 months before committing to writing this review, I wanted to be sure before sharing. Spoiler: 5 star company, owners, and staff. I brought two ~neurotic~ mutts (2yrs & 9 yrs) to basic training for two weeks. I had a lot of hesitation and anxiety because doing so was 10% of my yearly salary. I needed help, I had worked tirelessly with my dogs and felt like we were never speaking the same language. I had been through so many training techniques, YouTube channels, books, etc. with little to no progress. It was draining. Would I do it again? Hm, ugh, maybe! I mentioned how my dogs are a bit.. neurotic. I struggled a lot emotionally with how shook up my dogs seemed afterwards. My dogs were by no means mistreated during their time at TTW, but I could tell they did not do well in the environment emotionally. I hadn't considered how the boarding might affect them. Knowing what I know now, I might have tried to do some one on one training, or taken a class at TTW because I think their needs would have been met better that way. But I think that my dogs are an exception and not a rule. Happy endings! My dogs are not perfect because I am not the perfect trainer. However, they remember everything they were taught at TTW, the skills they learned are extremely useful. We have gone to a refresher course for me to practice. 5 stars. My dogs get walked so much more often and they get to go on way more adventures with us, which we all love. Big thanks to Ashley and all the other trainers! 🙂Sarah Burns

I came across Bryan when I was researching balanced dog training. ‘Positive only’ training just wasn’t working with my overly social dogs – no amount of food reward would bring my dogs attention back to me. Which then meant I stopped letting them off leash and our life together became more restricted. We also had a few other issues that I didn’t know how to manage (barking at the property line, unreliable recall, aggressive play and leash lunging….). After reading his books, doing the 14 day challenge and the advanced training module – I still wanted more and I wanted a strategic approach to our particular 2 big dog problems. Doing a few private virtual lessons with Bryan really helped me and the dogs achieve our individual goals I came to the lessons prepared with questions that REALLY needed answers (no matter how embarrassing) and Bryan answered my questions and together we developed a strategy that I could execute! I am over the moon happy with our success and feel WAY more confident training and working with both dogs. We get complements on how well behaved the dogs are now. Walking the dogs is my absolute favourite activity everyday, it brings me so much joy and they are easy to walk now. The dogs are happy, reliable and very social. The better their behaviour and obedience the more we get to do together and the more places we can go. I am incredibly grateful to have found Bryan and have the opportunity to work with him – we have gone from stressed to blessed! THANK YOU!!Janice Mah

Taming the Wild is awesome! I adopted Gus from MAS. As soon as he got in my house, he got extremely protective of me and his bad behaviors developed daily. He had to be sedated to even get him into the vet to be checked out. My vet gave me the names of 3 training facilities but mentioned that Taming the Wild had a good record of success with dogs like Gus. After talking with all 3, I decided to proceed with Taming the Wild. We had a private session with Bryan and he recommended board and train. I was honestly struggling with whether to keep or surrender Gus. I followed my heart and enrolled Gus in the 3 week Board and Train which was not an easy decision. I picked Gus up after 3 weeks and could not believe the changes. I have boarded Gus twice since the training and have added on refreshers to keep him busy while I am away. There is absolutely no way for me to describe the peace of mind I got from knowing Gus has been trained and that there is a place I can continue his growth. I also understand that his success is related to my personal accountability. I am closing this with my opening which is Taming the Wild is awesome! I am sending a big thank you to the patient and talented trainers who are Gus's (and my) true heroes!sharon sheets

I have gone to many martial arts facilities over the years in many different cities and states and this place is by far my favorite. Memphis judo & jiujitsu accommodates my whole family. My husband and I do the boxing & kickboxing , my kids aging 13yrs -4 yrs old are involved in boxing and jiujistu. The instructors are AMAZING. My kids have been coming everyday for over a year and this is their favorite part of the day. My 5 yr old daughter has placed 1st and 2nd in her first 2 competitions and cant wait for the next one ! The kids program is superb and all the instructors are very knowledgeable and great with my kids. I could not recommend this place enough. It is our second home now !stephanie Kikalo

My boys (12 & 14) are just getting started, but they love it. There’s several fighting styles from which to choose and the gym gave us a free week for the boys to see the different kinds so they could see what they liked most. Mine chose boxing and BJJ. There’s also Mui Thai kickboxing, judo and MMA. Everyone is very. nice, kid friendly, and the place is huge. You’ll never have to wait on a heavy bag or look for someone to work with. I think we made the right choice putting our boys here.MobileLab Memphis

This place is like nothing else in Memphis. The instructors are world class with decades of experience. They really encourage you, but don't push you during the workouts. If you need a break to catch your breath, then take one. It is truly a community. Aside from the martial arts they offer, they have fitness kickboxing and fitness boxing that will have you exhausted but refreshed afterward. This is THE place to get in shape and learn while doing it.Gary Panzer
