Fitness, coaching and walk clubs for women in Nashville

Why Nashville

Nashville is one of the friendliest cities in the country, and one of the fastest growing. That means a lot of new neighbors, a lot of young families and a lot of women who moved here without their people.

There’s a strong culture of showing up for each other in Middle Tennessee, and we love that. Pink in Progress is built on the same idea: strength, good food and friends who check on you. Add a growing network of greenways and beautiful parks, and Nashville is a natural fit.

East Nashville, Sylvan Park, Brentwood or Franklin, there’s a spot for you here.

The Nashville walk club: founding members wanted

Our walk clubs are simple: a regular, easy walk with strollers and sneakers welcome, followed by coffee when the babies cooperate. No pace requirements, no fancy gear and no one left behind.

In Nashville, we’re building them with our founding members. Here’s how it works:

1. Sign up and tell us your neighborhood. It takes two minutes.
2. We group you with women nearby. Walk clubs start wherever the most founding members are.
3. You help choose the time and route. Founding members get first say on when and where.
4. Your club grows. As more women join, we add new routes, times and neighborhoods.

We expect our first Nashville walk clubs to start in East Nashville near Shelby Bottoms and on the west side near Centennial Park and Sylvan Park, with groups in Brentwood and Franklin as founding members sign up.

Want to get a walk going on your block right now? Our guide to starting a stroller walk club has everything you need.

Walking in Nashville all year

Every city has its walking seasons. Here’s how we think about Nashville’s:

• SpringBlooming dogwoods and mild days. Beautiful walking, with an umbrella handy for spring storms.
• SummerHot and humid. Walk early, choose shaded greenways, bring lots of water and take breaks.
• FallComfortable temperatures and gorgeous color. The best time for long greenway walks.
• WinterMostly mild with occasional cold or icy days. Bundle up or move workouts inside when needed.

On days when walking outside isn’t realistic, your coach can swap in a home workout so your week stays on track. If you’re postpartum, check with your provider before starting a new exercise routine.
