About Be Somebody Gym Knoxville TN
Built On A Standard
Be Somebody Gym isn’t just about fitness—it’s about becoming who you’re capable of being.
We’re here to help people of all fitness levels get stronger, move better, and build real confidence through structured training and expert coaching. But more than that, we’re here to build people.
How It Started
Wes Kitts is the owner, creator, and head coach behind Be Somebody Gym and Be Somebody Performance. A lifelong athlete, he played Division 1 football before fully committing to Olympic weightlifting, eventually representing Team USA on the Olympic stage.
But long before that, his journey started with his dad, who taught him to work hard, compete, and always strive to be better.
That mindset carried him through every stage of his life, and today, it’s the same standard he brings into this gym every day. His coaching is built on real experience, high-level training, and the belief that if you stay consistent and put in the work, you can go further than you think.
