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. :)

I've tried many of the gyms in Charlotte and Fitness Together is definitely in a class of its own…read more I've been pretty badly injured in group settings because the trainer cannot focus on everyone's form at once. 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!

The owner double dips on cancelations charges…read more You heard me, double dips. As in, charging you - charging me. The instructors are great, the workout is hard, but what makes it so hard to love this place is the owner. Instead of caring about his members and their enjoyment of the gym, all he focuses his time on is scamming his high-paying members on late charges. So if I add myself to a waitlist, and someone drops out at midnight, and now I've made other plans - thinking I can't get in this class - he CHARGES YOU! Get this, you're next in line... you actually go and fill the spot, HE STILL CHARGES ME! #MoneyGrab The owner's waitlist policy is disgusting, it's cheap and it's disgraceful. I've contacted my credit card company and the BBB as this is the 3rd time I've attempted to reason with him on this fraud. He couldn't care less and enjoying milking his members for all their worth. $22 is charged to you if you're on a waitlist and even say NO I can no longer attempt! Honestly, it's pitiful how he's grasping for $22 straws. See pics for examples.

If you're the type of person who loves to work out in a group setting, with a coach/instructor to…read moreguide you and help your form, all while getting the most intense core workout of your life, this is the perfect place for you! Note that the new NoDa CORE 704 is now by the shopping center at Amelie's, rather than at their previous location in a house across from Heist. I started coming here with a friend for a different workout (other than the gym and weights), and I became obsessed! The instructors really help you and guide you in your moves and form, so that you don't injure yourself. The workouts are easy to follow and you are able to adjust based on skill level. I always come to this place with fear, but leave feeling amazing and sore! I definitely would recommend this place to anyone!

Honestly, I don't write much reviews but I have to give props to Charlotte RIPS in the area…read more When I first came here, I was hesitant to start due to being out of shape. I hadn't worked out in over 2 years, I ate pizza for breakfast and worked at an office job.... Being mobile really wasn't my thing. After getting a physical where my blood pressure and cholesterol put me at risk for some health issues, I decided to make a change. I didn't know where to start but I decided to try Charlotte RIPS. Right away, Vito was very knowledgable and helped me feel comfortable by walking me through the process of what to expect and what was expected of me to see results. I've never been a gym rat but this is a place that I truly enjoy. It's only been about a month but already my overall health has improved and I'm starting to see results. If you want to be in a workout environment that strives to empower you to work towards your goals whatever they may be, as well as start your journey towards a healthier lifestyle then I would recommend this place. Don't be fooled though, you have to put in the work. My trainer is Andre and he always provides one on one specialized training to work towards my goals. All of the trainers are dedicated towards helping their clients become better and they help you learn how to eat better and adopt fitness as a lifestyle.This place is affordable and for the level of service provided, I highly recommend.

Located off Tyron St in downtown uptown. The door on Tyron doesn't open, at least it didn't for me…read more There is a number to call if the door doesn't open. Luckily, there was another gym goer that smartened me up on how to get inside. You have to enter to the left of the door and take an elevator down to the lower level. I'm sure this is what I would've been told when I called the number on the door. Upon finding the gym entrance, you can see it is tightly packed inside. Coming after 5pm, I expected the gym to be busy. Boy was it. I was able to get a workout in with adjusting a few things. Plenty of equipment to use whatever your workout routine is. There are columns that block a good portion of the mirrors when using the cable machines. Gym was clean. Staff said hello.

Friend and I came here the entire summer we were interning in Charlotte, and it was an overall…read morepleasant experience - definitely can't complain with the price point. The bathrooms aren't the cleanest and it gets a bit busy at peak hours (usually weekday nights) with the somewhat limited number of machines, but it definitely gets the job done perfectly well. We never felt uncomfortable (as 2 girls), the staff are pretty nice, and the layout is good. Weekends are pretty empty, and the closer you go to right after work (compared to later in the evening), the less busy. People are generally pretty good about cleaning the machines/mats after themselves, which was appreciated. I would recommend if you're looking for a decent, very affordable gym option. This one is nice because parking is free and ample, unlike the Uptown location ~10-15 min. away.
