Our Story
About Temple Fitness
Partnering with the Franklin community one person at a time to better health through exercise, nutrition, and fellowship.
It All Began in 2009
Our Story
In 2009, with two little babies, a whole lot of faith, and a calling from God, we took a leap of faith and opened Temple Fitness.
What started as a dream grew into a Christ-centered community dedicated to helping people become stronger, healthier, and more confident.
As the years passed, we recognized a growing need for women 40+ who needed a different approach to fitness. From that passion, Strength Sisters was born.
One Mission. Two Ways to Serve.
Temple Fitness provides personalized strength training for men, women, and youth.
Strength Sisters offers semi-private strength training, nutrition coaching, and a faith-rooted community for women 40+.
Today, we’re blessed to serve Franklin and Brentwood, helping people build strength, confidence, and longevity while honoring the bodies God has given us.
Strong for His Purpose.
