Knockout Fitness

Knockout Fitness is a Nashville boxing and fitness gym founded in 1995 by retired professional heavyweight boxer Frank Wood. Celebrating 30 years in business, the independently operated gym offers authentic boxing and kickboxing training in a welcoming, supportive setting. Located on Winford Avenue, about three miles south of downtown Nashville, it serves clients of different ages, sizes, and abilities.

The gym provides private training and group classes, with no contracts: clients can pay as they go or choose available packages. Sessions are non-contact and last about an hour, combining boxing instruction with aerobic and anaerobic conditioning. Workouts may include heavy bags, hand mitts, speed bags, double-end bags, medicine balls, battle ropes, and calisthenics. Beginners receive guidance on punches, technique, hand wrapping, and equipment, with activities paced to their comfort level. Knockout Fitness describes its training as a way to build endurance, speed, and power while supporting an effective, calorie-burning workout.
