One thing that makes the people of Jackson, and Fondren in particular, so special is that we are community oriented. In this spirit, Fondren Fitness partners with other local institutions to create healthy spaces for Fondrenites and for all of Jackson. We are locally owned and operated and have the best interests of our community at heart in all that we do.
We frequently hear our members talk about keeping themselves accountable in order to reach their fitness goals. By building relationships with our members, we help them feel supported and comfortable at the gym, which for many can be a place of anxiety, self-consciousness, and fear.
Members look forward to coming to Fondren Fitness. Whether they’re taking a sweaty HIIT class, using the TRX training zone, indulging in the HydroMassage lounger, or picking up a healthy meal from Fit Chef, the feeling of belonging in our community is always present.

What do you enjoy most about working at Fondren Fitness?
Motivation. At any given moment you can take a look around the gym and find at least five people who are really pushing themselves and putting in the work. From that, I find new ideas, new routines, and new goals.
