Fondren Fitness

Overview

Fondren Fitness is a locally owned and operated fitness center in Jackson, Mississippi’s vibrant Fondren neighborhood, featuring an infrared sauna as a key recovery amenity alongside a full-service gym, dedicated studios, and wellness services. Unlike traditional gyms, it combines state-of-the-art equipment, group classes, personal training, and spa-like recovery options like the infrared sauna and hydromassage lounger to create a comprehensive wellness hub.

The overall atmosphere is welcoming, community-oriented, and supportive, designed to make everyone—from beginners to athletes—feel at home. Members rave about the sense of belonging, innovative design inspired by big-city gyms, and accountability through personal relationships with staff. It’s a place where sweaty HIIT sessions transition seamlessly to relaxing sauna recovery or healthy meals from partner Fit Chef, fostering a non-intimidating environment free of anxiety or self-consciousness.
