The workout entails a one hour session where you use the treadmill, rowing machine, and weights area. No two workouts are the same so you’ll never be bored. What’s unique about Orange Theory is you wear a heart rate monitor so you can track your progress during and after class. They send you an email shortly after your class with a performance summary of your heart rate zones, calorie burn, and splat points (you’ll have to go to learn about those). If you’re looking for a challenging fitness program, Orange Theory is worth checking out. Get more details about Orange Theory.
Top Toning Workouts in Nashville

Pure Barre has three locations in Nashville including Green Hills, Brentwood and Franklin. Classes are typically 55 minutes and are known to transform your body. Pure Barre is a ballet-based routine that focuses on toning your butt, thighs, abs and arms. There is a reason Pure Barre studios are popping up all over the Unites States — this workout will whip you into shape. See classes and pricing at the Green Hills studio.
2. Yoga – Hot Yoga Plus or Sanctuary for Yoga
We all know yoga is great for you! The twists and stretches ring out toxins and tone the entire body. Anyone that thinks yoga is easy or just for women should think again. Hot Yoga Plus and Sanctuary for Yoga are both studios that will challenge every student and leave you drenched in sweat. Obviously, there are several types of yoga and Nashville has a lot of amazing yoga studios. We recommend Hot Yoga Plus for heated yoga and Sanctuary for Yoga in Green Hills for non-heated yoga. Depending on which type of yoga you enjoy, these are both great options for getting toned and working up a sweat. Get more details about Hot Yoga Plus and Sanctuary for Yoga.

Climbing does a lot more than tone and seems almost addictive to people who participate. Climb Nashville has two locations: East Nashville and Downtown.

I LOVE Results Fitness on Music Row. The Ultimate Results classs is a high intensity, full body workout. They have other classes and personal training. I’ve been going for almost 6 months and love it!
I’ve been going to Krank since they opened the doors in February and cannot stay away. If I’m not training with Zane, I’m Kranking with Mindy or Sarah Jane. Haven’t found anything more addictive, challenging, and rewarding as Krank.
Their Cycling classes are also killer. SJ and Elizabeth are right there with you pumping you up, keeping you motivated and showing you how powerful your body really is.
Any ashtanga or vinyasa classes at Steadfast and True Yoga is a full body workout that cannot be found at any other place in Nashville. If you like to work check out that studio. Also the teachers are really down to earth and don’t make you feel like an outsider even if you are brand new to yoga.
Don’t go there if you are wanting a spa experience however this is the real deal. They aren’t going to tell you everything is perfect but they are going to give inspiration for the next time you roll out your mat.

Hotbox is the best workout in town,but you better be ready to be challenged. This is my home away from home. Everyone there are kind and welcoming no matter how “fit” you are. Plus, they don’t just have kickboxing. They offer a circuit training class, yoga, and have a gym for clients to use. GO THERE NOW!
