One coach, one client, and a programme written from your assessment. Personal training on West End, Nashville, since 2001.
No classes. No whiteboard. No session that everyone in the room runs at once. One coach, one client, and a programme written from your assessment.
Established in 2001, the studio has run one floor on West End for 25 years. Jeff Bergholtz still runs the first assessment on every client himself, and every programme is written from what it finds.

One coach, one client. The studio was built for this and not much else.

“I joined Takes2's West End location shortly after it opened in 2001 and work out with a buddy and trainers twice a week. … All ages and types are regular attendees and each gets attention personalized for their specific needs. Not only are the trainers knowledgeable, challenging and friendly, the regulars that work out here become part of your own team with plenty of fun, wit and personal support. Great place and people!”

“I have worked out at Takes 2 consistently for 12 years. I could not recommend it more highly. They are great at keeping you accountable while keeping the workout fun and challenging. Their method of intertwining full body movements, cardio, and weight lifting is a winning combination to keep anyone in shape without having to be in the gym every day.”

We believe that relationships are better than memberships. Anyone who trains here becomes part of a small community, and our goal is always to host you well. That means the cleanliness of this floor is something we all take personally. Everyone cleans, everyone racks, everyone treats it like they own it. If you have a suggestion, we want to hear it, whether that is a piece of equipment you would like on the floor or a time you would like to train.
Everyone. Whether you are just getting started or you want to take your fitness to the next level, personal training is the quickest and most efficient way to reach your goals. Our coaches love to come to the gym and train their clients every day, and they are eager to push you to your limits.
Sessions are bought in packages with a 90-day minimum, so there is a retest at the end of it and something to compare against. We will build a package around your budget, whether you train twice a month or five times a week. Ask for the current rates when you book your consultation.
Tell us at the assessment. Your coach can program around the affected area and build a corrective strategy to improve the stability, mobility, and strength of it as it heals. There is also a doctor of physical therapy on this floor through Star Physical Therapy, so a problem gets looked at properly instead of trained around. No corrective or post-rehabilitation programme delivered here is intended to diagnose, treat, or cure any disease or mechanical malalignment. Always talk to your doctor before you start a new exercise programme.
Every enquiry goes to Jeff directly, and he answers it himself. The first visit is an assessment, and you are matched to the coach who fits.
