The club itself is bright, clean and well laid out, with lots of treadmills, ellipticals and weight machines so I was not ever waiting around for a piece of equipment. The Black Card area was well maintained with working massage chairs and tanning for those who do that. I'm not a tanner, but some love it. The locker room and shower area was clean with good water pressure and enough hot. I'd love more changing space but it was good. Being tucked into a somewhat busy shopping center next to the Ace Hardware made it convenient to get in a workout while doing some errands and the business of the parking lot was good for security. Getting in and out was easy with multiple entrances and exits, but these roads really aren't that busy. Overall, a dependable PF and an easy choice for this part of Charlotte.

The Mt Holly Huntersville location has people experiencing homelessness in the area. The morning…read morestaff at this Planet Fitness allows the unhoused to be inside the facility. They recline on the equipment, use the restrooms, and stuff their pockets full of candies that are at the front desk. They do this right in front of staff who look away and pretend not to see them. I don't want to be the bad guy, but this causes discomfort and safety concerns for customers. This also prevents customers from using the equipment that the unhoused are "hanging out" on. I do not recommend this Planet Fitness location for customers who prefer morning workouts.

When you're not in shape and a little self-conscious about it, the last thing you (well I) want to…read moredo is to get in a group setting or crowded gym for everyone to see how weak/flabby I am. Enter Fitness Together. I appreciate the private workout stalls so much so no one can see each other and that I can workout truly in an individual setting. The coaches tailor each workout to my level keeping in mind any injuries (I have a weak psoas on one side) so they adapt the workout specifically for me. Everyone has been super friendly and the nutrition coaching even is adapting to my weird dietary stuff (I bet they hate working around GF, DF and low FODMAP). I really appreciate my time there and look forward to it every week which has decreased my stress level! The accountability is key to get me there- the online programs with Daily Burn and Peloton just don't cut it when I'm stressed and busy so I have to have it on the calendar so I don't flake on someone. :)

The one on one care you receive at FT is just one of the things I love about them. The trainers I've worked with are all knowledgeable and change each workout so that it doesn't get boring. They also know when yo push or back off which I appreciate. The owners - Sarah and Scott - have been great at getting me scheduled and being flexible when life happens. I highly recommend giving this location a shot. You have nothing to lose!

This is a female-only gym…read more I have worked out here as a guest for a couple of holiday seasons while visiting my family and I really like the facility and staff. Plenty of parking, too. Spotlessly clean, lots of TV's, new and well maintained cardio equipment, a variety of classes, plenty of weights, bosu, personal trainers on staff, spa-like atmosphere, smoothie bar... etc... They even had a really nice holiday party for their members, with plenty of food and wine and a big raffle (prizes included a huge Lancome gift basket, membership credits, spray tan gift certificates, etc) and a fundraiser for one of their instructors husbands who was recently paralyzed. They are also a member of the IHRSA, so if your club participates you can work out at this club while traveling... without being a member.. simply paying the normal guest fee. As much as my mother would loooooove for me to move to North Carolina, (I'm from California) ... that's not happening.. ;-) However... if I did, I would consider becoming a member here. The classes I took could stand to be more intense (I took Zumba and Cardio Kickboxing and it was NOTHING compared to the intensity of California classes) but the facility and everyone involved is very nice.

Okay... so I may or may not be becoming a CrossFit drop-in junkie but... I dropped in at CrossFit…read more926 this weekend. And true to form within the CrossFit community, I absolutely loved it. I have been Instagram stalking them for a while now and finally had an opportunity to quit creepin and actually participate. No matter how many times you go to a gym or to a new place, you always feel like everyone stares at you when you first walk in. Well, maybe they are but each coach made a point come over and introduce themselves. I got a brief rundown of the facility and I was putting my bag away/getting water, more and more kept introducing themselves. Whether this is a one-off, or just the culture of 926, I was ridiculously impressed and immediately made to feel "at home." The workout I attended was a free community workout and it did not disappoint. Greatly programming but then also greatly coaching. I rarely do any overhead lifting. The coaches noticed some form issues and took time to coach me through without interfering with the overall workout. My... Absolute... Favorite... Kind... Of... Coaching. Because let's be honest, we are all competitive and who really wants to stop working out to talk? Even if you really should... Although, I am pretty positive they would have made me if I were doing something a little too crazy. The facility is AMAZING. Large, spacious, clean... AND IT SMELLS SO GOOD. Growing up and working in gymnastics facilities my entire life, I expect to smell feet, chalk and sweat in any workout facility I go into. Not here. I just wanted to lay on the ground and make turf-angels on the floor but I just met these people and couldn't show my crazy just yet. Get in on this ASAP as everything is new, bright and shiny. But really, it was the people that made it awesome. The location is spot-on too. Conveniently located off 73, but once you are inside "the gates" you almost feel like you are secluded and sectioned off from the rest of the world. Kind of ideal when you are trying to get into a certain "zone" to push yourself in your workout. I will definitely be adding CrossFit 926 to my circle of facilities to workout at.

The premise of Hotworx very approachable from the option to book a class anytime to the privacy you can have in your sauna.

I switched to the Dowd because the location was more convienient for me. I was more observant and selective this time around for a trainer. I noticed this physically fit trainer, observed him as he trained his clients. Then, I finally approached him. I've been with Chuck Walker ever since. This December will be two years. I've seen my body completely transformed. I'm lean and stronger. Training with Chuck has taught me how to use the gym equipment with confidence, my form is on point to prevent injuries, variations of work outs to target different muscles groups, he knows exactly how much weights I can lift for muscle growth and he has made me conscious of what I eat. It wasn't always easy but consistently is key. Chuck is definitely the best trainer. He cares about his clients, pleasant to work with, extremely knowledgeable and always professional.

Why do I adore Dick Harrell Martial Arts? Because of their cardio combat class!…read more If you're looking for a slammin' workout with an excellent instructor, try Janet Harmon's Cardio Combat class. Kicks, punches, conditioning and the like with patient, upbeat instruction. They hosted a handful of yelpers for this class and we all got a hell of a workout in DHMA's clean, spacious studio. The cardio combat class would be great for a myriad of fitness levels and interests. If you want to try it out for free before you commit - just give them a call - the staff are exceptionally nice and accommodating. I hope to come back soon for one of the three cardio combat classes during the week! Thanks, DHMA & Janet!

Guru Dick Harrell is amazing!…read more This school is tucked away on rampart street, next door to Ultimate CrossFit. The gym offers a cardio combat class, Kali, JKD, a martial arts system created by Bruce Lee, as well as an MMA class. All of the instructors as well as students are welcoming, encouraging and helpful. Guru Dick is superbly knowledgeable and patient. You'll not find a better place to train or or a better instructor to train with. With reasonable prices, many different classes and times to train, this is a great place to continue training or begin.

The best workout studio in Pineville! By women, for women. I love everything about stepping into…read morethis space. Whether it's your first workout in ten years or you're in the best shape of your life, several things will ring true once you attend your first class: 1. You will be challenged. The instructors are quick to give alternatives to the workouts based on where you're at in your fitness journey. You'll get what you're willing to put in, so as long as you set your intentions for class and stick to them, you'll leave feeling the moxie glow. 2. You'll be surrounded by a great group of women. When you think of a judgement-free-zone, Moxie will redefine this for you. Whether you're moving your hips in OHM, doing your first downward dog, or learning how to speed skate, you're given a safe space to be yourself, have fun, and learn new ways to move your body. Classes are kept intentionally small to create the best energy/environment. 3. You won't be disappointed! There is a class type for everyone. Dance, fusion, yoga, HIIT/bootcamp, etc. they even have a swiftie sculpt once a month for those of us who want our playlists a little more reputation coded. ;)

Empowered women empowering women! I absolutely love the vibe and mission of this woman-owned gym…read morefor women. It's located in a super cute, historic space right on Pineville's Main Street. Inside, there's pretty exposed brick and a "Babe Cave" glowing pink sign. There's free public parking right behind the building, and Pro Tip: you can actually walk in through the back door (it doesn't have a name on it, so you just have to know - it's like a dark brown/gray color) instead of going all the way around to the front. I've taken a number of different classes here, including full body bootcamp, bootcamp circuit, 808, fusion, yoga, and athletic conditioning. Each one is unique, so you can try a variety of workouts to keep challenging yourself and see what you like best. I enjoy the strength-based workouts since you really do feel so strong. Fusion and 808 are so so fun since you're working out as a group to the rhythm of the music - you feel like you're on a dance team! During the cooldown of certain workouts (usually the bootcamps and other more high intensity classes), the staff pass around cold towels with essential oils - they change up the aromatherapy scents, and they've all smelled and felt amazing. It's such a nice way to end a sweaty class and take a relaxing, rejuvenating moment for yourself. Their trial week of $20 for an unlimited week of classes is such a great deal. Come in, sweat, and feel great about yourself in the company of other women!
