Hero Athletics

This gym is truly unique. Shamir and the team are offering something special. I feel lucky to take part as a black belt instructor in Brazilian jiu jitsu. Before training with Shamir I struggled to maintain my health during intense no GI and gi schedules. Through holistic fitness incorporating mobility, weight training and nutrition I am able to guide our students with greater health and consistency. Learning no GI jiu jitsu with the community at hero Athletics has been amazing! I am incredibly thankful for the entire team!

I love a good kickboxing workout (or other MMA-ish class they might have for a given day), but what truly stands out about this place is that actually feels like a community – the trainers and other members. I mean, when you workout a lot, of course theres plenty of times you need to just put your headphones on, dial in, do your workout, then get on with your day, and thats completely fine coming here, too. But theres a definite add when theres a welcoming atmosphere with people who actually want to be there, work hard, and enjoy it.

This is my home away from home. No matter what your goal is there is someone that can help you reach it! Great community of people, family friendly, great atmosphere. Whether you want to get in shape or get better at jiu jitsu this is the place to go in Knoxville!

My favorite place to train martial arts! Not only does the staff know a wide variety of martial arts but they are all really great people. I always feel safe and communication is a big part of this gym which I really appreciate! The instructors are very big on safety first which I appreciate because I have been to other gyms where people get hurt and honestly, Id rather be training than sitting out due to injury. I have really appreciated Shamirs commitment to her students and making sure that all gym goals are safe as well as attainable. It has a family friendly atmosphere and the competitors are highly rated.

The most inclusive gym I have ever experienced! No toxic culture here. I feel welcome and comfortable asking questions of any of the coaches or other members. The membership fee is well worth all the individual attention I get from the extremely competent staff. I feel supported in my goals no matter how lofty or small. Everyone interested in fitness or combat sports like jiu-jitsu should go to Hero!

Hero is a cool little grassroots gym with weights and machines and a Brazilian Jiu-Jistu school. There are also classes for kickboxing and fitness classes and mobility clinics. Very unique place - never been to a gym like it. It has an underdog vibe in the best way. The space is small but welcoming. It seems to be a good hangout for all types of people. I noticed a lot of diversity here which is part of what attracted me to this gym and Im glad I signed up. They only have one type of membership as far as I know, but it covers everything - nutrition, fitness & strength, and martial arts. The owner is knowledgeable about injuries and mobility problems as well. She gives a generous free trial. Location is convenient, right next to the Cotton Eyed Joe in Farragut. No showers, but plenty of changing rooms and very clean bathrooms. 10/10

This is the most welcoming and inviting gym I have ever been to. Shamir and the other trainers are great with showing you the right way to do the movements and are incredibly patient as you learn. They are quick to correct you if you arent doing something the right way, which shows they care about your wellbeing and have your best interests in mind at all times. The members Ive met are fun, which makes working out fun. Im so glad I joined!
