I don’t live in the Franklin area, so I’m not there as often as I’d like, but it’s honestly become something I really look forward to whenever I go.
I’ve never been part of a gym like this before, so I was definitely a little intimidated at first. But that feeling disappeared pretty quickly! The atmosphere is incredibly welcoming, the workouts are fun and challenging, and the music is always energizing.
What really stands out, though, are the people. Everyone is friendly and kind, which makes it so much easier to walk in and feel comfortable. The trainers are supportive, encouraging, and somehow manage to make me laugh even when I’m in the middle of a tough workout.
Even without going regularly, I genuinely feel like part of the community when I’m there. Highly recommend!

If you're looking for a welcoming, knowledgeable fitness community where you can achieve real results, look no further!
Recently entering a new decade in life, I joined BFT hoping I could learn how to support my body and start to transform it in a healthy, sustainable way. From the very first class, I knew I found the right place. BFT focuses on group strength and cardio training personalized to you via a heart rate monitor that you wear during classes. The result? The fun and motivation of a group class with the individualized results of a personal session.
I recently completed an optional 8 Week Challenge and lost 15.2% body fat. How? The perfect combination of data, science-backed workouts, guidance in implementing small but powerful new habits and the unshakable support of the BFT team.
BFT has become a non-negotiable in my routine. I'd give them 10 stars if I could! Give them a try - I think you will too.

BFT has been life changing for me! After years of a sedentary job, weight gain, and general lack of activity, I took the leap and joined. My experience has been amazing! The coaches and other members are welcoming, friendly and most of all willing to help a beginner like me. I just completed an 8 week Nutrition Challenge that was a game changer. I feel stronger, leaner and more confident than I have been in my 60+ years. If you think you are not a "gym person" BFT will change your mind. Best decision ever!

I can honestly say that joining BFT has been life-changing for me. This isn’t just a workout community — it’s a place where confidence is built, goals are supported, and people genuinely care about one another.
The coaches at BFT are truly exceptional. Tom, Patrick, Camille, Chris, KP, and Erica each bring something unique, but they all share the same passion for helping members succeed. They push you when you need it, encourage you when you doubt yourself, and celebrate every win — big or small. Their knowledge, energy, and constant motivation make every class feel purposeful and empowering.
Since becoming part of BFT, I’ve grown not only physically stronger, but mentally stronger as well. My confidence has increased in ways I didn’t expect — both inside and outside the gym. I feel more capable, more motivated, and more proud of myself than I have in a long time.
What truly sets BFT apart, though, is the people. The community is incredibly kind, uplifting, and welcoming. Everyone supports one another, no matter where you are in your fitness journey. It’s the kind of environment where you feel encouraged rather than judged, and that makes all the difference.
BFT has given me more than just workouts — it’s given me confidence, consistency, and a sense of belonging. I’m beyond grateful to be part of such an amazing community.

From my very first conversation with KP, I knew joining BFT Franklin was the right move. I felt welcomed, encouraged, and completely supported from day one.
The workouts are awesome (challenging but doable) and for the first time in a long time, I’m working out consistently. The classes fly by, and the energy in the room is always positive. The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable, encouraging, and really take the time to help me feel confident and capable.
The community here is amazing! Everyone is friendly, supportive, and motivating – even at 5am! The facility is super clean, the atmosphere is upbeat, and the music keeps you going! (Shout out to Coach Camille who always rocks the best playlists)
I can’t recommend BFT Franklin enough. It’s been a game-changer for me!
