Our Story
We are members first. Physique sculpting and strength development are central to our lives. We’ve spent years training across the U.S., visiting serious facilities and learning from some of the best who understand symmetry, balance, and intentional development.
That experience shaped our standard: premium equipment, thoughtful layout, and an environment where details matter. When we looked for that on Signal Mountain and couldn’t find it, we decided to build it ourselves.
Mind & Muscle exists for people who train with intent — who care about progression, physique, and balance, not just “getting a workout in.” We live here, we train here, and we built this to share that standard with our community.
This is a community space, not a chain gym. It’s personal, it’s intentional, and we’re building it to be an asset to Signal Mountain.
OUR 2026 AMBASSADOR
Mind & Muscle is honored to announce Etta Schafer as our 2026 Ambassador.
New to Signal Mountain, yet already a hometown hero because of the impact she makes. As the first female in history to become an engineer here on Signal, Etta represents a new chapter for what’s possible in this community. She shows up. She gives back. She lifts others, and we’re stronger for it.
Etta embodies what we stand for: resilience, service, and a spirit that refuses to quit. Her journey has taken her around the world, touching countless lives, and now she brings that same strength to the mountain we call home.
And she’s only getting started. This summer, Etta will launch Sirens Of The Flame, her all-women’s Firefightress Camp, empowering women with strength, confidence, and a sense of readiness that transcends the gym. It’s the kind of leadership our community deserves, and the kind of movement we are proud to support.
