Here are the positives: - Great exercise classes offered - Big and spacious group exercise rooms - Lots of equipment. They have about 20-odd treadmills so there's always little or no wait. Same with ellipticals and cycles - Indoor running track for people who don't like running on treadmills yet want to run when it's cold / rainy / hot outside - Smoothie king!! - Lots ad lots of parking - Kids' pool and daycare

I am writing to formally express my concern regarding my recent experience with an employee at the…read moreYMCA. During my visit i interacted with Jess. I found their behavior to be unprofessional and disappointing. Specifically, receiving weird looks, lack of communication, and felt rushed to make a decision. Ever since the establishment changed owners this place is just not like it used to be. As a member/guest, I expect to be treated with courtesy, respect, and professionalism. Unfortunately, this interaction did not meet those expectations. and negatively affected my experience at the YMCA. I respectfully request that this matter be reviewed and addressed appropriately. My intention is not simply to complain, but to help ensure that all members and visitors receive respectful and professional service. Thank you for taking the time to review my concerns. I appreciate your attention to this matter and would welcome a response regarding any actions taken or the outcome of your review.

Once again this location has fallen back into a state of disrepair. When something breaks you can…read moreexpect it to take months, if not longer, before it's repaired. The latest casualty is the elevator, which may not be a big deal to many people but I'm preparing for hip surgery, so climbing two flights of stairs to get to the main workout area is a challenge. I know there are quite a few others like myself who suffer from hip, knee or back issues, and rely on the elevator to access the upper floors where all the equipment is. I know there's a small workout area in the women's locker room but it's basically a dark, windowless room with very limited equipment. At this point the elevator has been out of service for around 2-3 weeks at least. I mean, how long does it really take to have an elevator repair company come out and fix the problem? It seems that management tries to avoid spending money on repairs for as long as possible or until enough people complain.

They have 2 showers/bathroom areas and one bathroom to accommodate needs. It's a plus that Its 24 hours to accommodate your schedule. They have plenty of parking in a shared lot. When it comes to the fitness equipment it's not repaired or updated regularly. The TV on the stair master has been out for a year. In addition, some of the ellipticals do not take information like your weight if you desire accurate calorie counts or the levels can not go past a certain point without the machine restarting. They have limited equipment because its smaller. They have one stair master and you frequently have to wait as its a high demand machine during regular hours. There is one upward bike and one row machine, etc. It can get pretty hot. Not sure what is going on with the HVAC, but wish it was cooler on a regular. Typically its well organized and clean. There are three staff as trainers and general staff they appear to be friendly, there is one who is very passive aggressive. Thankful for Ron's help and assistance and Joseph is nice. Notes: There is a gym in Waverly that has a food bar, etc. It has some completion and the price is equivalent to the gym down the street. I have not taken any of the small group classes that they offer and cannot provide feedback on those or working one on one with a trainer. I also have not consumed any beverages or snacks from their honor system.

Great example of the quality provided by Lifetime Gym's…read more We had a long layover in Charlotte and decided to go to the gym between our flights. We frequent Lifetime gyms whenever we travel as we like the consistent quality and classes provided by the gym. Overall, this is a very nice building and was on the larger side from the facilities that we are used to. They have both Pickleball and basketball courts. They also have the standard high-quality technogym equipment found in all of their locations. The steam and dry sauna area was on the smaller side from what I'm used to seeing, but they were very clean and well-maintained. The Lifetime café was also very clean and had plenty of space to sit down. Overall, wonderful experience and would definitely visit again in the future

Also this is meant to provide constructive feedback in hopes that management/area director and leadership at Lifetime read this- finally these are constant grievances of mine, others on this feed and I have been a member for more than 3 years.

Machines sit dormant waiting for repair often...and Steam room is constantly inconsistent and temperatures in dry sauna are below recommended temps. Did I also mention how LOUD it is in the 'Quiet Area.' 3. Towel service is 1 STAR....and unacceptable.

Showers- The entire shower area is a mess a lot of the time, but especially last night....walk into a shower and someone left towels inside stall....No attendants cleaning up or restocking towels...counters full of water, etc. NOT A PREMIUM EXPERIENCE! I truly enjoy investing in my health and consider Lifetime a splurge in my budget....BUT I continually leave shaking my head at the level of service...quality...and inconsistency....even the 'simple things' from a staff person, like Have a good night...hope you had a nice workout. It would be nice to have persons on the floor assisting 'newbies' with workout tips or offering assistance in using the equipment.

This is the 2nd Solidcore location I've visited and it was another great experience. I'd met Karli…read moreand Uri before, and they were both very friendly and showed me around. The studio is very clean and organized, with lockers for your stuff. The workout-whewwwww! Don't be fooled by Uri's baby face because he will have you on the ropes! I recommend doing the starter class first and then venturing out into the other classes. I did the full body class and it full body for sure! Uri did a great job with demos, checking the carriges, and correcting form. Most importantly, he kept the energy and encouragement up. I recommend Solidcore to anyone looking for a challenge, and looking for something different.

However, every class is basically the same exercises, which gets boring. Also, the instructors don't really help with form, so I find the instruction minimal. While it's inspired by Pilates, you can't call this Pilates (and Solidcore doesn't but the clientele make this mistake). I find it to be a useful supplementary strength workout for me, but I don't enjoy it enough to keep a membership. I've been loving the Daily Pilates up the street instead.

This place has exceeded my expectations. I used to take barre classes regularly in SF but had never…read moretried Pure Barre before. Wowza, they really kick your butt! Each class is different and I am left sweating and feeling good at the end of each one. It's definitely a great workout. All of the instructors I've tried are great but Kristen is my favorite so far. The staff is super friendly and welcoming, and they have a lot of regular members. No egos or competitive spirit here, which I appreciate. There is a large parking lot but it's easy to miss your turn if you're not familiar with the area. There are cubbies to store your stuff and hair ties, Luna bars, and water provided. The intro unlimited membership is $99 per month, which is a great deal and then it goes up to $159 I believe. You also have to let them know in advance if you want to cancel; otherwise, you'll be locked in for another 3 months. Their app is super easy to use, they have clothes and socks for sale, if you need them. My one minor complaint is that there isn't a clock in the room, so I never know if they're done kicking my butt haha.

After relocating to Charlotte with years of martial arts experience, I did extensive research to…read morefind a gym that realistically covers all aspects of self-defense. That search led me to Ryan Hoover and Fit to Fight--and it exceeded every expectation.This isn't just a 5-star review; it is an open letter of appreciation. Here is what sets them apart: World-Class Leadership: Ryan, Amber, and Riley Hoover are incredible, highly accessible coaches who frequently teach classes themselves. Elite, Consistent Coaching: Every single coach and Black Belt is exceptional. There is no such thing as a bad class here. Complete Combat Curriculum: They train you for reality--covering everything from de-escalation and kickboxing to grappling, street-scenario jiu-jitsu, and weapons defense. Evolving & Relevant: The curriculum updates constantly to address ever-changing, real-world threats. Inclusive Community: You will train alongside everyone from teenagers to impressive 70-year-olds in an environment where everyone knows your name. Genuine Care: They truly care about your safety, growth, and well-being.Though I recently had to relocate back to the West Coast, Fit to Fight remains the gold standard. I fully plan to return for their intensive workshops. To Ryan and the entire coaching staff: keep doing what you do. It matters.

I cant believe I have not reviewed this before. I have been going here infrequently since it opened…read moreor shortly there after. The reason for the infrequency is that it is a solid 25 min drive for me without traffic. Add in week day traffic and that turns into an hour. Otherwise, I'd be here all the time. The staff is super friendly. The bag classes are my favorite and a really tough workout. The intro classes are great as well. The first 15 mins of "warm up" is probably the toughest work out then it is on to learning basic skills. It's such a great work out and the training is great for self defense. They have another location in Gastonia if you live closer to there. I highly recommend them.
