This gym has been fantastic.They have upgraded their equipment.Which allows you to feel the burn on the target muscle way more intensely. The staff is always nice and knowledgeable. Even the community attending have been very nice and polite. I'm from Ohio is a new resident of Southaven. The only thing I can say for improvement would be more washer stations around the gym and a little bit more enforcing of people wiping the machines.

I’m extremely disappointed and hurt by how I was treated at DAC in Southaven. I’ve been a member for years and chose this gym because I believed it was family-friendly and welcoming to all. Unfortunately, I’ve experienced discrimination more than once, and today was the last straw. I checked in with my 11-year-old son, who is of age to be with me in the gym, and as we walked to the locker room, a white front desk employee chased me down to say he couldn’t be there. The manager then told me he couldn’t go to the daycare either because of his age—but instead of offering a solution, they demanded I pay a random additional fee just for him to be with me on the gym floor. I’ve seen other children his age, of other races, allowed without issue. As a single mother with no support, I found this completely unfair. I’ve tried to overlook past experiences—even a few years ago when I was body-shamed and accused of dressing inappropriately. Back then, a manager defended me. But today, no one did. Today, I felt the sting of racism, bias, and exclusion, and I walked out. This is not a family gym. It’s not an inclusive space. And it’s certainly not somewhere I feel welcome anymore.

I just started going back after being down for a few months. I’m so glad I am back in the gym. The energy and the staff always make you feel welcome and are always around if you need assistance with anything. Best gym and staff in Desoto County!!

Almost Perfect! I’ve been a member at Desoto Athletic Club in Southaven since 2021, and I can confidently say it’s one of the best gyms in the area! There’s a lot to love about this place, but I’m giving it four stars instead of five for one reason, which I’ll get to in a minute. 1. The atmosphere is welcoming, clean, and the staff is always friendly and ready to help. 2. The group classes are impressive. The instructors are knowledgeable, motivating, and they really make an effort to cater to different fitness levels. 3. The amenities like the sauna and spa-like areas are also a huge bonus, and one of my favorite parts of the gym. 4. For parents, that are worried about childcare.. the childcare center is clean, safe, and run by friendly staff. It makes it so much easier to squeeze in a workout without worrying about the little ones. 5. Now the equipment… here’s where they lose a star. While the equipment they have is excellent—modern, and easy to use—it can get crowded during peak hours. There are times when you have to wait to use certain machines or weights. I really think they need to expand the gym, open a second location, and add more equipment to keep up with their growing membership. If they did that, this place would be flawless. For what you get, the DAC membership is definitely worth it. They offer so much more than just a gym—it’s a full fitness and wellness experience. If they expand the equipment and space a bit, it would easily be a five-star gym!

I have been a member to many gyms in the area. Infact, I still have 2 memberships to gyms I frequent. I can see how and why this gym was voted #1 in Desoto county multiple years in a row. They offer many amenities and the smoothie bar stands out. However… 😩 the equipment on the floor honestly grosses me out. So many covers to the seats are peeling back, it’s hard to adjust the machines to your liking and it’s simply outdated. When I signed up I was told new equipment was coming. I truly hope so because the equipment is a complete turn off. This gym is too nice to have old, rusty, outdated, poor aesthetic looking machines, I can say everything else is pretty solid though. I have the highest membership and it’s worth the price. Just please upgrade those God awful machines.
