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. ;)

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!

One year ago on July 11, 2017 my neighbors Suzie, Jenny, and Allison finally talked me into trying…read moreout Burn Boot Camp. I have always been a yo-yo dieter and every few years would take up running for a few months at a time but when it got too hot or too cold I would quit, hating the monotony of the dreadmill. I joined many gyms but always felt super intimidated and out of place and unsure what to do while there, wondering if I was wasting my time and energy by not knowing how to optimize my workouts. Classes made me a nervous wreck, always different faces and no one was there to do anything but get their workout done and leave. I weighed 200lbs, sat on my butt all day at the computer, had major hypothyroid issues, and was desperate to do something but didn't know what to do. I even looked into a personal trainer but the cost was so high and I knew I needed almost daily assistance, not just once or twice a week. For months I had heard my neighbors talk about Burn and encourage me to go and I finally decided to give it a shot. My first thought upon entering was how everyone seemed to know each other, and I was glad I had my girls there so I could cling onto them like a barnacle. My second thought erased the first because SO many women came up to me to say hi and welcome me, simply because they didn't recognize me. Even the head trainer, Ryne, made sure to introduce himself. The thing about Burn is the women there aren't just nice, they are FRIENDLY and it makes all the difference. Everyone there genuinely wants to see everyone else succeed. There is no judgement, only encouragement, pretty much everyone is a regular to their class time so you get to know so many wonderful women. I will not lie that first class I had to keep telling myself "This is the only time it has to be your first day, this is the only time it has to be this hard, if you keep coming it will get easier and you will be so glad you did." I struggled. I was beside a 70 year old woman who was doing so much better than me. We did bicycle abs and I could only lift one leg at a time and after three of them I laid there panting, sure I was going to blackout. We did bear crawls to halfway across the floor and back and were supposed to do five laps. I did one. But I just kept repeating "If you just keep coming you will be glad you did". Two weeks later I did three full laps of bear crawls, two months later bicycle abs were among my favorite things to do. It never gets easier, because we scale everything to our fitness levels(do it faster, more weights added, etc), but I have gotten so much stronger, it helps to know everyone there is on the struggle bus with me, and the sense of accomplishment afterwards is euphoric. Burn is a community, it's a sisterhood, it is everything I have been searching for my entire life. Ryne and Becky are amazing trainers, they genuinely care about the success of each and every one of you. The workouts are always different(I never get bored), always a challenge and designed to give you maximum results. Come to Burn, tell them Lyla sent ya, and I promise you, you will not regret it. 1 year in I have: Lost: 38lbs 10 sizes Gained: So many friends So much confidence So much strength A lifestyle I know I can keep up

I got on my husbands gym membership at the YMCA, I quit. I did 9 Round, I quit.... okay I think you get the point. I quit and there's nothing wrong with that, because those workouts, set ups, places, whatever just didn't work for me. It didn't work for my schedule, my lifestyle, etc. That is until I joined Burn Boot Camp. I've never been a consistent member of anything longer than maybe a month or two. I'll join something and take weeks or months off and my dude will complain and keep asking when I'm going back. I go back sporadically, knowing that this ain't gonna last. I'm not here to sell this place, but I am here to say why this works for me and probably many other women who go. This is my first check in but I've been going since the end of March. I did a trial and then just in time another trial came along and I jumped on that. So it was nice to get a feel of what I would be getting myself into if I actual paid for a membership. Ryne is literally the fitness coach I needed. Idon'twanna pay a ton of money for a trainer and I like being around other women who hi five you and encourage you to keep going and push yourself along with Ryne challenging you as well.. Working out here is challenging (you need that), flexible for my schedule (most days I go at 5 AM, sometimes at 8 AM, sometimes at 6:30 PM). If you have kids and you're a member, they have childcare at certain times. Ryne does personal check ups with you at the camp (after a workout, before, whatever) to make sure you're on track with your goals. PLUS! Sometimes the music be on point. Every now and then the music is a bit corny but luckily there are those around me, including Ryne pumping me up so I can ignore that. It doesn't get any better than this... for me. I would urge anyone to keep searching for what works for you. If you're a serial quitter... maybe you're just bored with where you are, you need some personal attention, maybe you need a little more encouragement or whatever you're doing isn't working for you anymore... give this place a try.

I had a very disappointing experience with this location…read more I specifically requested a 6-month membership. That is exactly what I wanted to purchase, and that is exactly what I believed I was signing up for. I did not ask for a membership that would automatically continue into a 7th, 8th, 9th month, or indefinitely after the initial six months. I trusted the employee who helped me because I clearly asked for a six-month membership. Instead of making sure I understood that the agreement would automatically renew, I was simply handed paperwork at the front desk and shown where to sign. No one specifically explained that after my six months ended, my membership would continue automatically unless I canceled 30 days in advance. When I tried to cancel, I had already stopped attending for months. Instead of trying to find a reasonable solution, I was told I had to pay the outstanding balance before they would process the cancellation. Even after making the payment, I still had to go through the 30-day cancellation process. My biggest disappointment was not the contract itself, but the lack of transparency during the sign-up process and the complete lack of flexibility afterward. Every response I received simply repeated the contract instead of addressing my actual concerns. If you are considering joining this studio, read every page of the agreement carefully and ask specific questions about automatic renewal, billing, and cancellation. Do not assume that a "6-month membership" ends after six months. Because of the way I was treated as a customer throughout this experience, I cannot recommend this studio. I hope they improve their communication and transparency so future customers do not have the same experience.

The only thing I didn't like is that it's in the same location/gym/share space for pineville crossfit. So you may or may not be distracted by that. Another con is that the class tends to have a few kids in there making it seem unorganized as you try to work around them. My first love is still MADabolic. I'm ride or die with them...BUT this is a good secondary class if MADabolic classes are full. RISE is the same concept but the intensity and movement planning is a bit lacking.

The park is well-kept as everyone here ensures cleanliness and top maintenance. As my dad and I sat down on the bench and soaked in our surroundings, we observed a plethora of activity which included some people flying drones, kids competing in the playground's obstacle course, elderly folks walking, dogs running amok, people racing toy cars, and a few people cycling. The positive energy and vibes were radiant. I'm glad we stopped by here. Definitely worth a visit in Charlotte!

Walking to play, the floors were sticky from drink spills. In theory, having bars on the courses is a great idea, but in practice it slows everything down. If the group ahead of you doesn't enter their score, the game stalls unless someone from the next group inputs it or a staff member comes over. We had to figure that out on our own. On my previous visits the staff explained how the scoring worked, but that didn't happen this time. Three groups ahead of mine didn't know how to enter their scores or forgot, so they just stopped playing. I also think the reservations could be spaced out better. Groups ended up stacked on top of each other waiting for the same hole. Thankfully, everyone was still pleasant about it. I'd definitely go back, but I hope they make a few operational improvements.

I bought tickets before we even had a hotel booked! We arrived the day of with our dragon in hand (that came with our copy of Dragons Love Tacos 2) and my toddler son decked out in his dragon sweat suit. We were ready! Our show was on a Saturday at 3pm. If you arrived at 2pm there was a free behind the scenes tour of the theater. We of course took full advantage! 2pm we were squished with many of the other patrons all ready for the free tour. We were greeted and then moved into the theater. It seamed like over half the audience that day showed up for the tour! This made it difficult to move as a group through the backstage and hear everything being said. Was it cool to see where they make the sets and store the props? Yes! It was great feature I am thankful they offered but maybe needs more organizing for large groups. Another little tip for their tour guides, don't tell us what we cant see (costume area) because of the large group. Just bummed me out (and if it wasn't said I wouldn't have thought we missed out!) Also it was posed before the show arts and crafts available. Once the tour ended we were asking around about the crafts. we saw people with crafts. People had no idea! More organization needed as the crafts were taking place inside the library! We showed up with only a few minutes to do crafts because we wasted time asking people about the crafts! The show... not totally like the book but close. My 10 year old thought it was a little too young for her and my 1 year old was quiet for the whole hour! The 4 year old with us, he was mesmerized! So I would suggest when they say children's, aim for kids under 8 here. The production was pretty good with great visuals and a great destruction scene! This is not low budget by any means. Cool thing they did, after the show they let people stay behind and showed how the crew talks to one another on their headsets to make the action happen on stage! (This was geared more toward a 10 year old as opposed to a 4 year old understand what was really happening.) What could have been better? Let people enjoy the show more. The staff working in the audience were intense. I was approached by a kid, like 12 years old, who told me I couldn't give my 1 year old his bottle and the other two kids had to put away their candy. At no point at the beginning of the show was an announcement made about food/drinks in the auditorium. I am a rule follower. I would oblige. But not letting my 1 year old get his bottle seams a lot ridiculous! I kept watching the ushers go up to many other patrons about use of cell phones and everything else. It was distracting. Calm down folks. We came for the dragons. Speaking of which, I told my daughter when we bought the tickets: I don't know how they will make dragons appear on stage so it could be amazing or terrible but either way we will never forget what we will see. Truth: we will never forget. (The Dads wholeheartedly agree!)

From my highest weight I am over 50 lbs less today because of their workouts and the meal program that they gave me five years ago. I've been at my goal weight for some time but I still use the skeleton of their meal plan with my own tweaks (to make it keto). This gym is not like the Y where people go but sometimes don't really exercise much. Here you do classes - people modify when they need to , myself included - but you always follow along, you don't stand around and blow it off. The members are all sizes - it's a gym for real people. A basic class is 5 minutes of warm up, about 25 minutes of cardio-kickboxing, about 16 minutes of functional/weight/resistance training, about a 2 minute finisher, and about a 3 minute cooldown. ALL the coaches are great so I never worry about which class I'm attending - I just go when I can. They once in a while coordinate group outings at local restaurants - we even had a big group that went hiking at Crowders Mountain once. You can try a free class or two - they will lend you boxing gloves and you have to bring your own wraps or buy them there for $13 - it's because wraps really do provide shock absorption to your hands when you are punching the bag. I once didn't use them when I forgot them and I was surprised at how it felt without them - you definitely need them. You can purchase Unlimited in which you can go as much as you want, or purchase 8 classes/month, or you can buy a block of classes (I think 10 but I'm not sure?) and use them as you wish, or you can pay per class. I do Unlimited and make it a point to go no less than 15 times a month. If you are a Panthers fan, you'll enjoy that the owner - who is also one of the coaches - is Mike Tolbert, a former player. Mike and the other owner, his wife, Shia (also a coach!), could not be any nicer. I am not a person that ever liked to exercise or liked going to the gym - out of all of the places I've tried, this is the best. Just look at some of my numbers that I included (see pic) to show that I am living proof that this place works - as I mentioned, I used to dislike exercising and I weighed 52 lbs more. I am 54 years old (about to be 55). As you get older, the worry is that you lose muscle. My muscle mass number indicates that I have a good amount of lean mass for my size, my skeletal muscle number shows that I am above average in muscle relative to my weight, and my visceral fat number is 5 which is excellent and indicates that I am at low risk for diabetes and heart disease. ....and just in case you are wondering, I don't work there - I'm just a regular member.

At every other location I've been to I've made friends with the trainers, they actually want you to do well, and even after I've left the gyms we are friends on social media and chat.

I've never been to a yoga studio, gym, fitness facility where I could truly say, I liked every instructor/coach... that is until I came to the Row House!

I'm also partial to him being one of my favorites, as he has been with me during all my milestones (first class, 50k and 250k) and I just love the energy he brings! Betsy - SMILES. She is just a gem spreading all the joy! Fairly soft spoken, compared to some of the other coaches, but she never stops smiling which makes you smile and forget what you're doing because you're enjoying yourself so much... and before know it BOOM -- ALL THE METERS!! You max out and don't even know it! Josh - MOTIVATION. He tends to start and end class with a bit of a spiritual/motivational vibe, which is spot on knowing he also teaches yoga. I'm a yogi so I love that when I'm in his classes it feels like he brings a balance to my world with incorporating a bit of yoga, whether it's through a said message, a stretch or floor move. I was one of two people there for his first class and I've loved seeing his coaching journey! Jacqueline - SPARK. She brings the spark in every aspect - energy, effort and enthusiasm. She is such a genuine person who cares about her boat and is there to help everyone obtain what they came for, with a smile and enthusiastic demeanor! Love her energy... it's just right in the middle where everyone loves to be! I was also present for her first class and although I've only been to a few classes of hers, when I see her name aligning with the class that works for my schedule I get excited! Keianna - STRONG. She kicks ass! And will kick yours (in a good way)! She is strong in all that she executes in her classes! Her strength class is one of my favorites as I feel she always finds just the right burnout you need, without you even knowing. She is a mix of strength, smiles and sunshine that everyone needs in their live Laura - LEGS! She's another one who brings ALL THE STRENGTH! Her express classes, regardless of which kind, are MY FAVORITE! I knock out so many meters and always enjoy myself as she pushes you with the best boost of energy. She also calls out to focus on your rhythm and form throughout class which is nice, as sometimes that slips from your mind when you're in the "zone." I can literally hear her say "LEEEEEEGS" in my head during other classes when coaches put you in the power zone (and I love it because it makes me smile/giggle when it happens)! Meredith C - ENERGY. She has ALLLLLLLL the energy! She brings it every class! She says she picks class themes and songs for us/that are perfect for rowing (she does and they are), but I think she picks them just so she can jam out with the boat! You will see her on and off the rower a lot, as she likes to see the boat take their own journey together while guiding and motivating "through the crowd." She is loud, high energy and will push you to get produce the best version of you in that class!! Her passion is unmatched!

Fantastic full body workout! Classes last anywhere from 30 to 45 minutes. Expect to sweat a lot …read more.. as long as you put in the effort. A class usually consists of 2-3 rounds of rowing and 2 rounds of floor exercises. Weights are used in most of the classes. There is always a coach that guides you through the class. They have a user friendly app that allows you to schedule out weeks in advance. From top to bottom, this gym is top notch! They are extremely COVID conscious. Class size is limited to 12 per class, and everyone is spaced out. You never have to leave your station. Machines and mats are wiped down after every class. Masks are worn until you get settled into your station. There are a few different types of memberships. I am on the unlimited membership. I pay the founders rate of around $119 a month. It's a month to month membership. They offer the first class for free, so take advantage of it. Tell them Brian sent ya!! You won't be disappointed.

Today I attended the bloc. party free sweat class and boy did I sweat!…read more Walking into bloc. I had no idea what to expect but I was very excited for the workout. Liz the co-founder welcomed me and was very pleasant, she asked if it was my first time and registered my information. Afterwards she took me on a tour of the facility, I must say I loved how they decorated this place! It's not your typical gym at all. Very clean, green, white and cooper! So refreshing. Afterwards I joined the everyone that had arrived for the Friday fitness class. The music was great and the sun was shining bright through the 5 large windows. The class was intense, but just the push I needed! I typically am not much of a sweater no matter how hard I workout. But today that wasn't the case lol, our instructor pushed us but made sure it we went at our own pace. No weights, 100% body workout, you against your body. One of the guys in the class said, "I usually run about 5 miles a day, and this doesn't compare this was intense but I liked it!" Another person said she wasn't sure what to expect but watching everyone else work hard pushed her harder. Overall I throughly enjoyed bloc. and plan to return for another workout next Friday!

I came to Jamie's 6AM Primal Fitness class - WOAH! That'll really wake you up in the morning…read more The space is GORGEOUS! There is a living plant wall right when you walk in. You are greeted by the sweet girl at the front and she gave us a brief tour of the space. There is a large workout room, cubbies to store your belongings a stretch area and a co-working space. Bloc isn't the type of place where you go to work out, talk to no one, and leave. They really are working hard to instill the importance in community. They offer free summit coffee for these needed a cup. They want you to stay around, hang out and enjoy the space. That was a really cool and really awesome new concept for me. Coming from DC and NY all the exercise places are machines built to get you in and get you out fast. They aren't meant for hanging out and mingling. I really like this about Bloc! The work out was TOUGH. My girl friends and I went together and we all work out with a trainer and couldn't believe how great the workout was. It was set into 5 "stations", 3-4 rounds, done in an EMOM (every minute on the minute) timing. We did body weight exercises, conditioning, cardio, and boxing. Talk about a total body workout! Jamie was really sweet too - and an amazing trainer. She really worked the room to build up the energy and provide support. I will definitely be back!

Its a little small inside but the layout of equipment is well done so you don't feel too close to everyone while working out. Ed, the gym owner is a great guy and very easy to get along with. His gym membership fees are very reasonable and you can sign up for a month to month membership as well. So far the other gym members are all respectable and I've experienced no issues. I recommend this gym to whoever is looking for a place to call their workout home.
