Centennial Sportsplex - (615) 862-8480

I am in town for two-and-a-half weeks for the holidays, and since my previous gym membership is expired, I went to the Sportsplex gym; with a day rate of $5, how bad could it be? I got what I paid for: no bench press, no squat cage, no incline or decline bench, no barbells, no stretching area, and very, very cramped. This place has not been updated since it was built. It's hot in the room, the carpet is filthy, and the equipment is about to fall apart. If you're serious about your fitness, you can do much, much better. Oh, and the locker room is super old school, and not in an endearing way...at all.

The organization I work for paid for my membership and I was hesitant to go to a "public" gym and was holding out to find a club that worked for me. I decided to give Sportsplex a try and I'm glad that I did. The equipment could use a little updating, but if you just want a basic work-out and you don't want to wait for a treadmill, etc., then I highly recommend this place. Normal people there working out, not the parade of lip-sticked soccer moms in leotards and hulk-like men on the prowl. Low membership and very convenient. I can get in and out of there quickly and that encourages me to keep coming back. I hear the classes are quite good, as well.

This is a great and safe environment to take your kids. The Nashville Aquatic Club practices here along with other high school swim teams. It is family friendly and a great place for people of all ages. There are many different programs to sign up for ranging from swim lessons to water aerobics. There are usually lanes open for people to swim laps as they please. The pool is a little cold but once you start swimming everything is fine. There are diving boards where dive teams practice. The pool is able to divide into two different lap pool, one large lap pool, or an Olympic sized pool. there is also a pool that is heated for children and people who are looking for a relaxing swim. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable.

The Centennial Sportsplex is mainly known for the ice skating rink. This is where the children have their hockey games and lessons and also where the Predators practice. They also offer ice skating lessons with open rink times for family and friends to have fun skating. The Sportsplex also has a full club and gym and tennis courts. You can easily become a member or just pay the usage fee. There is plenty of parking.

This is a great place for kids and adults. They have Ice skating for the public and offer teams and classes, they have indoor diving and swimming and offer teams and classes, and have all other health club type stuff. Indoor/outdoor tennis, aerobics, weight room, and everything else you could think of. The facilites are clean and well maintained. You can get a day use pass or a membership. It is definately one of the nicest places in Nashville to excercise.
