Hospitals/Offices

Housing

 * Trauma House

Groceries

 * IGA on Sullivan - 443 West Sullivan Street in Kingsport, TN 37660 - honest review, this place is a little shady, but in a pinch it works fine.
 * Food City -1205 North Eastman Road in Kingsport, TN 37664 - this Food City was my favorite. It was clean, had good produce, and the meat was always fresh. Looks like there is another Food City at 300 Clinchfield Street in Kingsport, TN, but I didn't ever go there. It may be a little easier to get to.
 * Kroger - I mention this one for completion. I found it annoying to get to, but it's there: 1664 East Stone Drive, Kingsport, TN . I went once. Food City is much better.
 * Wal-Mart - 2500 West Stone Drive, Kingsport, TN 37660 . Yup. It's a Wal-Mart. Benefit? You can refill water bottles here. You can buy more for less. You can hang out with Wal-Mart patrons. You know what you're getting yourself into.

Information: This gym is very close to the trauma house. It's biggest asset is a full free weight and cable machine room. The cardio equipment is modest, but perfectly usable.

 * Name: Great Body Fitness (

Phone: (423) 378-4111

Hours: MTWThF 24hrs; Sat 6A-6P; Sun 1P-6P

Price: $20/mo, no contract

Information: Great Body is a massive facility. You will find classes, gymnasium space, and plenty of freedom to move around without being cramped. It seems like this is better deal, but the only disadvantage is the location compared to Xcellerated if you are at the trauma house. Even so, the distance to travel (< 5 mi.) is totally reasonable.
