Two stand-out elements of the gym’s programming include it’s focus on senior fitness, as well as it’s supportive and positive workout environment.

4.) Planet Fitness
Planet Fitness doesn’t offer the latest fitness trends or classes, but it excels enough in other ways to be one of the most popular fitness chains in America. Some of the pros of Planet Fitness membership include the ability to attend any other Planet Fitness location (and they’re all over the place). The Tullahoma location has a wide range of machines, offers hydromassage, offers tanning chairs, and is open 24/7. For a “basic” gym membership it’s hard to go wrong.
Some additional reasons we like Planet Fitness is that you know what you’re getting and membership is very affordable.
