I had a pretty great experience and saw results after going for four weeks. It has a nice atmosphere with an encouraging community. The trainers are friendly, professional and knowledgeable. Every class is a little different and always challenging so expect to get your butt kicked. I actually looked forward to going to my workouts if that says anything. I definitely recommend doing their intro class if you're new to Crossfit/weightlifting movements. The coaches were very accommodating when I needed to modify exercises due to past injuries. Big shout out to Lillian, one of the coaches I worked with the most. Thank you for being so warm and welcoming since day one and answering all of my newbie questions! I'll definitely consider joining the gym full time. All in all a great experience.

Absolutely the best gym I've ever joined. There is nothing like the community, coaches and…read moreatmosphere. Extremely professional and F..U.N.

UCF was my second home during the 3 years I lived in Charlotte from 2011 - 2014, and I was so bummed to leave this place and the amazing people there! I recently went back when I was in Charlotte for a wedding and it's still the special place that I remember. Look no further - you'll love it here!

I normally don't go to this location because it hasn't been updated in years and feels pretty…read moreoutdated compared to the other locations, especially for an area that's growing so much. I stopped by recently because it was convenient and brought a guest with me. Before doing anything, I asked the woman at the front desk how the guest policy worked. She didn't really explain it and instead just asked for my guest's information. I assumed she was simply checking the system to see if my guest had visited before. I stepped away for a moment to check whether the court was crowded, and while doing that, something came up that required me to leave earlier than expected. When I came back to the desk, I told her never mind and that I needed to leave. She responded, "It's okay, I sent the receipt to your email." That caught me off guard. I assumed it was just confirmation of entering my guest's information, especially since I thought guests used to be free (which is why I asked about the policy beforehand). When I checked my email, I saw that I had been charged $20. The issue isn't the money, it's the lack of communication. Before charging someone, the process and cost should be clearly explained. I've never had issues at the other locations I visit, so this felt like a one off experience, but it's enough that I probably won't return to this location.

Decent gym, not the biggest but much better after the fairly recent renovation. Peak hours are…read morevery busy (5-7 on the weekdays) and you may have to adjust your planned workout due to limited equipment. The classes I've done are good, and the staff has been nothing but friendly. Locker room is clean as is the pool. I do wish they'd patrol the parking lot more in the evening (especially Friday) as numerous people park here and go to the surrounding restaurants and bars, making it difficult for members to find parking.

Before I met Daniel (owner of Edge Performance Training), I thought I'd tried just about every type…read moreof workout out there. I'd tried power lifting, endurance training and triathlons, crossfit, even athletic conditioning at the local YMCA. I've always worked out; I was just really bored with the usual set routines and classes. Daniel completely changed my perspective on training and the way I work out. He puts together the toughest and most unique training workouts I've ever been through. Ever trained like an MMA fighter? Ever trained using only ropes, bags of sand, or flipping a truck tire end over end?...I hadn't either. Edge Performance combines cardio with functional type movements that are more natural (and useful) for my body than simply lifting a barbell. Daniel is always evolving and changing the workouts which means my body continues to get stronger and feel better.... But the best part is that I love working out again!
