It's got weights but that's about it. Building is falling apart. Mens restroom is terrible, smells, and the stall doors won't lock. You might get a pump or you might get tetanus. They should spend some of the extra "maintenance" fee they take from us every few months to fix this place!
NFC Alcoa looks amazing when you walk inside. However the surface level appeal and excitment faded as I began to realize this was the most unclean gym I have been a member at. Plant Fitness is sparkling in comparison. There is never a squirt bottle to be found, the bands are terribly gross, and sweat puddles are extremely common. I cannot even clean after myself without bringing my own cleaners in!

We enjoy going to NFC, Alcoa Hwy. The manager and staff are very friendly and helpful. We love the Yoga classes with O.J. Bergeron. This club has a family atmosphere where the clients are very friendly. We like the Quick Set Up for quick work outs, plus there is other equipment available for those who want it. The construction on Alcoa Hwy has not been a problem in getting there. It is a great club.
Why have a outdoor pool??? The hours are to short, they close up at the first sound of thunder, can't take a foam noodle for exercises.... I'm sure there's more to complain about. The South Beach was awesome when it was Court South. National fitness has ruined it!!! Should probably cancel my membership!! Only been a member for 20 years!!! No more water aerobics!!! Good luck staying open!!!

Bad vibe as soon as you walk in. Frank is at front desk and cannot be bothered to answer questions or find out for you if he doesn't know. David the manager is even worse. Unapproachable and always negative.

A month into my membership and still living every minute of it. The whole experience is uplifting. The signs on the door thank you. The staff greets you. There's multiples of equipment so your workout is not delayed. There are options for group fitness and personal training. You have many amenities including boxing, a running track, movie theater for cardio and pools both indoor and outdoor. The facility welcome patrons of all ages and fitness experience. They made fitness fun.

I've been a member at NFC/Court South for almost 5 years and have been bringing my daughter to the NFC Beach since she was born. I can take my daughter to the Signature Club whenever I want to to go swimming. Then I bring her today to enjoy some fun in the sun with my family like I have been doing for 4 years and I'm told that I have to pay for her every time I bring her. I already pay 78 a month for my membership and now this location is trying to make me pay more $$$! Very unhappy with this location and the direction it has gone in the past year!

I love all of the NFC gyms. The indoor pool at this one is nice and they also have the Beach pool behind the gym which is huge and awesome! I love the group fitness classes there.

This is one of the worst businesses I have ever been a customer with. The customer service department and management are extremely difficult to work with. I was told when joining that I could cancel at any time. I specifically asked this twice before signing to make sure. They would not let me cancel my membership until a full year had gone by. They were not even willing to work something out to meet in the middle. KNOW YOU CANNOT CANCEL until after a year of having a membership.
After reading the many mixed reviews, I must admit I was really nervous about checking out this gym. However, I am glad I went to personally check the facility out. The hospitality David showed while giving me the tour was outstanding. He was genuine in all the concerns I brought up and even went above and beyond and did some research on a specific issue I had heard about. David explained ALL charges including the maintenance fee that is charged, and was very upfront about the prices and the contract responsibilities. He was patient as I asked my questions and answered everything could. What he could answer he found out and followed up with a phone call. If your looking for a place that is clean, not crowded, and has friendly staff stop by the NFC South location... it may be exactly what you are looking for!
Enjoyed working out here, friendly staff, Not to packed, price is reasonable but could be better. Not yet joined, only did a free pass. Do believe This is where I will spend a year to get back into shape.
Best fitness place, they have all tou need to make sure your goals are accomplished from the beginning, i enjoy my cardio, in the cardio theater.
f you don't like contracts then go elsewhere as you will instantly get the contract remorse the first second you leave the business! Personally, once my contract is up I will NOT be renewing here. I have had a gym membership since I was 21, and this location/company has the worst process I've experienced. From haggling over the price, to signing a three year contract to get the best monthly price, to adding more money to be able to go to any of their locations and the beach, to waiving the sign-up fees but charging me $70 for processing and $10 per keychain tag (so $20 for a two person contract even though you would think the first ones would be free?). Complaining to the store manager about issues around the gym seems to do nothing in the years I have been attending, other than when the spin bikes finally were fixed after a year of the morning class participants complaining.
For the positive, group classes area easy to attend as this location does not get as busy. The group instructors are nice and knowledgeable. They will adjust their classes for newcomers. The other positive is the location is perfect if you work in downtown Knoxville or on campus since you only have to turn right on Alcoa Hwy. The daycare is nice as you can drop off your child while you workout. They will find you to change diapers though.
The inside running track cannot be used safely as it's also the way to get from one side of the gym to the other and you will get upset running into folks or doors, not to mention folks leaving the aerobic classes. Plus its so small the laps to equal a mile is 19! The water fountain and ice machine are always breaking. They have ONE water fountain by the bathrooms, and its not even one of the water bottle fountain types. You can also ask the front desk worker to fill up your water bottle with ice water, water, or ice any time though if they aren't busy.
I was always told if you have to be locked into a contract it's a bad thing. You should want to patronize a place for being good not be forced to. This is a terrible location to get in and out of, there were ants all over the wall near the free weights. BUT the equipment overall is in good shape and newer.
Great pool and facilities but charging members for their kids to swim is a bit much...thus the 3*.
Very clean. Wonderful staff. Amazing place.
The staff is Bae. The cardio theater is Bae. LOVE YOURSELF, AND GO TO THIS GYM.
