    Despite the explicate images burnt into my head by the elders in the locker room, this gym is clean and proficient!

    The building was hot and uncomfortable and the staff was less than hospitable. I would suggest you skip this place.

    I recently moved from Denver, CO and joined Charlotte Athletic Club primarily for the location and…read morewalkability to Uptown. From signup through cancellation, the experience was consistently poor. The signup process was unnecessarily difficult. You cannot sign up online or over the phone and must come in person. I arrived during hours I was told a manager would be present, only to find they had left early, requiring an additional visit to complete enrollment. The gym charges $150 per month per person, with additional costs for lockers, an extra month (extra $150) due on signup, and a facility improvement fee every six months. Despite the price, there is no coat rack or place to store even a jacket. Communication is "you must pay an extra amount for lockers each month" even though lockers are framed as an optional amenity. Charging for lockers in the first place is grubby. Every gym I've attended in the past includes them for free. Pool access is advertised. The pool is actually pool access passes included in membership to the Omni Hotel pool, we were told it was to be opened fall 2025, it has remained closed. This was communicated after signup. The equipment itself is fine, but there is no water bottle refill station, and the water available specifically says "don't fill your water bottle up". It's a gym. Who wants to use a small paper open top cup when working out. Bathrooms are often not clean. If you're coming in in the afternoon for workouts, the gym maintenance and cleaning happens then, so expect some vacuuming and hammering happening most days. But my primary issue is the staff experience relative to the price point. Front desk staff are often disengaged. A trainer instructed us to re rack weights that we didn't use. When we told him they were there before we used the machine he communicated "clean them up anyways". I rack weights when done using them. For $150 a month, if another gym member leaves weights behind, and this is noticed by the staff, I'd expect gym staff to care for the cleanup of other members weights left behind. And especially the first time, just unnecessarily hostile and unfriendly. There are many more similar interactions like this with staff. After I canceled my membership and requested my wife's remain active, a manager approached her requesting credit card information, the implication being "don't forget to pay" in a way that felt inappropriate. This is acceptable at a lower priced gym. Again, it's not what I expect at this price point. This is a premium priced gym with a good location and adequate equipment, but the service level does not match. I'm switching to another gym in the area.

    MADabolic is a fantastic gym! I've been on a gym tour using Classpass lately and stumbled upon…read moreMADabolic and absolutely fell in love with this gym!! From the moment I walked in and went to the front desk my experience was top tier. Carol was there to greet me and check me in. She was extremely kind and helpful. She asked if this was my first time and she was amazing from the very beginning. She gave me a lot of great info before the class and essentially broke everything down so I understood what to do and what to expect. The best part was Carol continuously helping me throughout the workout. It's been a very long time since I've worked out in a gym and I genuinely appreciated her so much!!! The class itself is a HIIT circuit training type class. You rotate from station to station and do different workouts. The music is loud, but not too loud, and is always a great playlist. Just how I like it lol. I love that you can go from kettlebell workouts to body weight workouts to boxing and so much more. It's a very non traditional type of workout and that's great because it's always different. There's also a great gym community. Other people in the classes are always friendly and helpful. It's really just a great gym community all around! Very happy I discovered them and really enjoy working out here!!!

    My friend brought me to thus fitness location to work out with her as they were offering "Bring…read moreyour friend" classes for January. I did not know what to expect, but they definitely made you WORK! You start off by doing a couple of warm-ups, and then the coach takes you around to different stations and demonstrates your workout in each station. Then you go off and start at whatever station you want and from there you go and take turns in between each station. I love that it's a total HIT lift workout. You do everything from weights, boxing, bicycles, and regular running. Completely loved the circuit vibes from it and the coach. I believe his name was Trey. He was AWESOME! he made sure to come and show you the correct way of doing the workout and just keeping the energy going. From the music, so the instruction. This is located in Noda, and they have a few parking spaces in the front but as well as parking lot towards the back of the building. Definitely enjoyed my time here.

I initially started with their highest membership to have access to tanning and because I go back home to CA from time to time, figured I could use it while I travel, too! The Crunch by my old home in CA is the one of few locations I guess that does not honor this membership I had and had to pay out of pocket (not a ding against this location) so when I got back to NC I downgraded my membership to the basic plan (I also have a membership to Palm Beach Tan so I didnt need their tanning - this location only had stand up beds?). There was a charge to downgrade my membership which was odd but not worried about it.. anyways - they have squat racks that LINE the back wall of the gym, maybe a trillion treadmills, stairmasters and ellipticals which makes getting on one during the 5PM after work rush never an issue! On top of the stairmaster, you can overlook the sea of machines! Some OG machines and new ones that will count your reps! Honestly a huge plus to have more than one or two of a machine.. This location has two SEPARATE rooms for cycling and group classes IN ADDITION to the HIIT/personal-group training designated area! The layout is amazing and feels like this location has literally everything you need and more - aside from a reverse hyper lol! And if this all hasn't sold it for you already... the locker rooms have saunas saunas are CLEAN and odorless which I personally think it amazing. Womens locker room have a TON of lockers of different sizes (bring your own lock - this isnt Lifetime Fitness) and changing rooms and showers! And not to mention the giant selfie mirror!! I know its not what its intended use is, but Id be lying if I said thats not its designated purpose is. Always so happy with this location!! Thanks University team for keeping an amazing gym so clean and easy to always come back to!

    I canceled my membership the beginning of June. Their policy is that you have to cancel in person,…read morebut you don't have to sign up in person. Strange. I went in person and canceled. Was told I have to pay a late fee. No other charges mentioned. Also, said I would be able to use the gym till the end of the month. June 24th came around and they charged me a monthly fee. I call them. And they cancelled the membership again, although you can't cancel over the phone. She said she will request a refund for the charges. I had my bank reverse because it wasn't authorized. It's August 14th, and I was charged the monthly fee + a late fee. My account still shows active. I call them. A girl named CeCe (who conveniently says she's a manager) says your account will be closed 30 days after your last payment. My last payment was the beginning of June, the late fee. More than 30 days ago. At this point I can see they are trying to keep my account open and clearly not honor a 2 time cancellation. This is the worst gym I've been apart of.

They exceeded all expectations, and I am realizing what childcare SHOULD be like compared to the old daycare. Dogwood excels in the following areas that I find important: Communication: The staff is prompt to communicate on all platforms, through the app, email, and phone. Food: they send out the weekly meal plan, and it's always healthy and nutritious food that my son loves. He's a 99th percentile guy, and so he eats a lot and is never hungry when I pick him up (unlike our old daycare). He probably eats better than me most days here! Staff: I can't say enough great things about the management and teachers here. From the moment we walk in, there's a smiling face at the front desk available to help with anything we need. The teachers clearly love what they do, my son loves them so much. After a year of challenging drop off and pickups with tears at the old place, it's refreshing that there hasn't been a bad handoff since the 2nd week. He even tried to go back in after picking him up he likes it so much. Facility: it's a beautiful facility and CLEAN!! Ample parking, and well thought out. Photos: I have received photos every day, to me this is important as the old daycare I was lucky to get 1 photo a month. They even put little text with it sometimes. This makes going to work and leaving my son at school a lot easier. To summarize this very long review, Dogwood is excellent and my only regret is not coming here sooner. We do drive 10 minutes further because we feel the level of care our son receives is worth it.

    Our son absolutely loves Dogwood! And so do we!!!…read more Our son has been at dogwood since he was an infant. As he has progressed through the different age groups, each and every class room has been wonderful. Teachers are always willing to communicate, we have transparency into his daily activities, we get multiple photos daily of his activities, and he is learning so much. The food they serve is healthy and my son loves it. He gets breakfast and lunch each day. All home made right at the school. Their education programming is thoughtful and fun, with themed ideas each week/month that are great. They value sensory learning at a young age and keep children engaged as they get older with one on one learning each day. They also have as few plastic toys as possible, focusing on natural materials. Overall we feel like my son is in great hands each day!!!
