Functional Fitness Gym in Asheville
A functional fitness gym for Asheville and Arden. Strength, conditioning, gymnastics — all in one open floor, 24/7.
Strength, conditioning, gymnastics — without the class.
Functional fitness should mean training that translates: squat, hinge, pull, push, carry, condition. NC Open Gym is set up for exactly that. Squat racks and lifting platforms anchor one end, dumbbells and kettlebells fill the middle, rowers and bikes sit by the rig, sleds run the floor.
You can mix strength and conditioning into a single session without juggling equipment, fighting for a rack, or working around a class.
Built for the way you actually train.
- Mixing strength and conditioning every session
- Following a remote functional fitness program
- Training Olympic lifts and gymnastics movements
- Building work capacity without joining a class
- Keeping a kettlebell, barbell, and rig all close together
Easy from anywhere in greater Asheville.
One mile from I-26 exit 37 — convenient for Asheville, Arden, South Asheville, Fletcher, Mills River, Biltmore Park.
