This review is for the STX free boot camp that they have every Monday and Wednesday:…read more I wasn't ready. Mentally or physically for what went down Wednesday night. I'll try to keep it short. (Yeah right! Lol) Overall- such a GREAT workout, experience and Emily breeze is so awesome!!! The only thing that kept me from quitting..well two things kept me from quitting. Knowing that summer is coming and my booty isn't where it needs to be and sheer will power to just keep going. I almost quit. Like literally said to myself "I can't do this...I so can't do this". And I heard the small inner former athlete say "yes.you.can" so I took another step...one more push up...one more lunge...one more squat. It's a brutal workout. I think we did (well I did because I couldn't do them all) at least 200 squats. I'm sure others did more. I think about 50 or more (I dunno I think I blacked out after a while) push ups, so many sprints, a bear crawl, back pedals, omg...my body was quivering. My mental state was shot....until something clicked and I remembered "yes I can". Sure I didn't do 20 squats at each cone, but I tried to do 15. I just kept moving. Never standing and never cheating myself out of the movement. I push well past my comfort zone. Along with about 200 people. It's a good mix of fitness levels and a great sense of community. I met some great people. Strangers were encouraging each other. The group clapped for those who were coming in last to encourage them. Amazing. By the time we got to the burpee plank series I was spent. I'm glad that was last. The ONLY reason why I'm kicking off a star is because at the end a big muscle guy kick my foot while I was in a modified plank hold (my knees were on the ground and I would alternate left and then right knee) and said "is that your plank?" I said "yes. You don't know my story. You try having stomach surgery" and he walked off. What I SHOULD have said was "is that your face? Oh it is? Then yes. This is my plank" That made me mad and confirmed why I don't xfit. I was judged by my plank and he kicked my foot. So for that, I kick off a star. At least my plank will get better...your face?? *shrugs shoulders* I'm going to go back. I am so happy that I didn't quit. It's challenging and it will help push me past my level of comfort!!!

Man oh man! While on our year long travels around the US, we found this FREE bootcamp on Charlotte…read moreon the Cheap's site looking for things to do. When I saw that it was co-led by THE Randy Moss, I knew we had to go, being a huge Patriots fan. Since we have been traveling around the US, we have really only been running and getting SOME body weight work in. This class whooped our asses haha! For a class size of about 200 people, it was very well organized! Everyone got a great workout, I felt like I could go ROUGHLY at my own pace, and everyone was very encouraging. I'd like to say that it is an all-levels class, but it really isn't. You would probably be better off with some athletic background or at least average/above average fitness level to keep up. I would be back if I am in the area again! Feel free to follow our travels at www.tandaintheusofa.com! One thing to note, is they do charge $5 to park in their lot, which we did not know. We did see many other people parking on the street perpendicularly across the street.

Hotworx is my new jam!!! I came to this specific location on the recommendation of my best friend…read moreand it did not disappoint. I think it's a newly opened location too. I had the best experience my very first time. I was helped by the sweetest gal named Hidaya, she really did a great job giving me a tour and explaining everything to me! She was definitely an added bonus and a big reason I was excited to join. I love this gym. It has so many options for workouts inside the sauna rooms but I also love that there is an open gym. The provide a workout you can do there as well. Which really helps. I'm so happy I joined this gym. I love how private my workouts are, I feel like it allows me to go all out and not be self conscious about who else is there watching me. You can use the app to book your workout sessions in advance and that is so great because it holds you accountable. It gives you somewhere to be at a certain time and that's what I need in my life. I live by my calendar. The gym is also 24/7 access which is amazing. You get your own unique code to use at the door. The other day I went to workout because I was stressed after a work meeting and it immediately eased my mood. The sauna expereince is just different and really perfect for me. I recommend checking out this gym if you're in need of something different and helpful. Just be prepared to SWEAT!

So , I posted a positive review a some months ago on a Google review to be exact 5 months ago and…read more I am going to have to retract my review of my first two weeks experience. I had a amazing time using the sauna studio, but towards my second week my daughter signed up with me .. she was super excited to join. Our first session together gave her the push she needed to start a healthy work out plan. Well, after her first few days over the past memorial day weekend I was sent a text that I brought an unauthorized guest and that my account will have $20 extra fee for the following month and to note that no one pregnant should be in the sauna and also I would need to have the proper mat to be in the sauna. Well I was a bit taken by the accusations that I had a pregnant unauthorized guest with me. It was my daughter who came with me that was just signed up a week ago. I went to speak with the staff @ the highland Creek/ prosperity area Hotworx and was said that it didn't look like the same person who I signed up. Not only did she looks different but she is now being viewed as pregnant woman. I told the staff that's the reason she is signed up because to work out because of her wanting to loose weight and her problem area was her abdomen area. Upon talking to the staff one person in particular asked how can we fix this? She went on to say She didn't look like the same person..mind you she was the front desk staff who actually help my daughter get signed up.My daughter was very hurt by them thinking she looked pregnant and was / is not pregnant. Never once was I asked who is the person with me at the sauna or a phone call to inquire. When I went in they said on the video that is always recording she looks different. I immediately asked to cancel my membership. The person who texted me was Taylor at hotworx Highland Creek.She did not allow me to verify or give and information before assuming what was seen on a video.

I love…read morethat MADabolic's flexible and fun interpretation of interval-driven strength training allows you an intense full body workout. As a Plus Size girl gym-timidation can be frustrating. I felt comfortable and empowered. Alex was great. He gave me great suggestions how to use what I learned at home. The venue is open and has a large breath of equipment to help you focus on training your core and specific muscles groups. I took a Momentum class that gradually builds in intensity. The Focus was on athleticism & endurance where the pace was 6 rotations (2 each at 70 - 80 - 90% off weights) on 6 different stations. Let's just say you can feel the burn! I also got adjust positions based on my flexibility and limitations. I like to give it 100% so I did change too much. It was such a great experience! I could see few monthly classes in my rotation. I really appreciate the private parking too. That's a huge plus for the area!

If you're looking for a class based gym in the Charlotte area, I couldn't recommend this one more!…read more As someone who has done f45 in a different city and also tested other gyms as well. Nothing compares to the coaches here. They take the time to fix your form and adjust as you need. They also get involved and care about your well being.

Will is a great instructor he explains all of the moves and provides great motivation. I have been slacking in my workouts and this has been a great way to jump start my exercise routines again. I do like that they incorporate running into the warm ups and work outs because that's something I'm currently (slowly) trying to build up. It was hard for me to find this place , but if you turn on reams road make a right into the office complex then go ALL the way around the building you will see the sign and some cars in the far corner of the parking lot.

Will, Phil, and Abby are amazing instructors and they all have a special way to unlock the skills and movements that you need in order to unleash your potential. You've probably heard a lot about Crossfit from various places. For most, it brings with it a strong emotion either way. I can tell you that I was not a regular gym rat. Sure, I biked every now and again, but I wasn't feeling a strong attachment to it. Since joining Crossfit 704, I've seen great improvement to my work outs. I think if you find the right box, CrossFit is an awesome choice for a lot of people.It's different every day, so it's never boring, someone is writing your workouts for you so you don't have to think about it, and its fun.When I don't show up, people notice and ask where I was.It gets you to do things you wouldn't do on your own. I would never go running or rowing on my own - but if it's in the WOD, I don't have a choice. Also, I'll go and do things that I would never do before (such as yoga classes, or spending a saturday afternoon doing hill sprints) because I know it will help me get a better time on a WOD later on. Does it work? Well, what's your goal? If it's to get in better shape or to lose weight, then yes, it works. However, it's not some cureall magic pill - as with any other training program, you will get out of it what you put into it. This location is amazing. Crossfit is all about community, and I feel it every time I show up. HUGE part of CrossFit is the supportive community aspect that comes with each gym. I guarantee you'd finish a workout a few seconds (or minutes) faster if you had 10 people screaming your name and cheering you toward the finish line. The coaches, the community, the life changing possibiltiies - you have no reason not to check out Crossfit 704.

I've been looking for a change since quitting my last gym and wanted something that would target my whole body for a whole class instead of only 20 minutes at other gyms. Everyone was friendly from the staff, owner, and even others attending the class. They took the time out to explain everything to me in detail, the process, what to look for, and the heart rate monitors you wear during the class. The class itself consisted of 6 stations, rowers, bench, weights, and cycles, and you do different kinds of workouts in each station for about 2 min and then switch to a different station. It felt awesome, and I felt like I was able to target every muscle I wanted to in just this one class. I took advantage of their black Friday deals and will def be returning to get my workouts. If you are looking around for different workout options, I def. Recommend scheduling your free intro class here and see what it's all about. This is their only location. They do have a parking deck, but the ticket can be validated. Also, some street parking if you're lucky enough to snag a spot.

Volofit's mission is to be more than just a workout. They truly want to be a community and…read moreencourage you on your journey, whatever that may look like. The studio and equipment are top-notch, parking is free (validated garage parking), and they have showers! As far as the workout goes, I would say its a hybrid between F45 and Orange Theory. It's a circuit style workout, every workout is different, and the workout could include anything from battle ropes, slam balls, body weight exercises, assault bike, rower, dumbbells, kettlebells, pull ups, etc. Overall, it's a high-cardio class that incorporates strength training. Similar to Orange Theory, the class uses heart rate monitors (not required, but strongly encouraged). The goal of the class is to get "20 points," or 20 minutes at more than 70% of your max heart rate. If the above is the kind of workout you're looking for, then I recommend Volofit.

I was intrigued when I heard about F45, I'm a big fan of circuit training--but it seemed too good…read moreto be true that they offer a week for FREE to try it out. I've been twice now and it's a fun concept. The workout alternates between cardio days and strength training days. Those workouts also alternate themes and structure so you'll never get bored. It's very fast paced which can be a little overwhelming at first--especially if you're not familiar with the actual exercises. The balance here is that there are always two dedicated staffers available to ask questions and help you feel more comfortable with the movements. The instructors also monitor the room to fix your form. I do wish they would spend a little more time at the beginning of the class go over the agenda for the day, but again, you can always ask for one on one assistance as needed. They use A LOT of equipment which makes it fun. In one class we used 9 different pieces of equipment. Again, this can be intimidating at first, but switching it up really makes the class go by quickly. The gym is new and really clean, the women's bathroom is stocked with any supply you could need to be more comfortable during and after your workout such as dry shampoo, hair ties, deodorant etc. There is free parking in a garage attached to the building which is great in the uptown area! Highly recommend checking it out!
