Best Gym near Charlotte, North-carolina

Stopped into the shop with my wife after visiting family. Nice set up (long double suite), nice variety of items (books, art, crystals, sage, incense, jewelry. When we were there, they had someone performing reflexology. It also looks like Sanctuary Imports also hosts tarot readers. An overall good experience and we would be happy to return.

Shopping at Sanctuary Imports is such an experience! Their product is very unique and top of the line. I keep coming back due to excellent customer service and the interaction and knowledge each employee displays. Stop and visit and you’ll be hooked!

I love this place! It’s the first place I came to when I first started on my spiritual journey. The owner is amazingly kind and sells beautiful quality products! Great crystal, book collection, herbals and much more

Absolutely love this store!! Came in while trying to find a metaphysical store in the Charlotte area as I am new here, and could not be happier to have found Sanctuary. I’m here at least once or twice a month and it’s been a fantastic experience every time. Everyone here is so nice and I always feel so relaxed as soon as I walk in. It’s just such a warm and welcoming place.

Best metaphysical store in town!! Everyone is amazing, the selection is stellar, and the vibe is SO good. It's super warm and welcoming in there and my shoulders always drop as soon as we walk in. I've loved watching the offerings expand and seeing more services, space fill up, new staff, and new pretty items. The best part is all the jewelry is made by local folx! It's all stunning and I spend way too much money here. Love y'all!

Love love love cycle bar! Always a motivating workout and fun! All the instructors I’ve rode with have been great. Staff is always super welcoming to new riders and there is always such a warm and welcoming atmosphere. I started as a class pass rider but decided after a few times to get a 10 pack membership. They have great deals running all the time and healthcare worker get an additional % off! Would definitely give it a try if you are considering!

I absolutely love this cycle bar studio!!! I never dread waking up and going to a class. It is always so fun and energetic and the instructors are all so kind and fun. All of the staff is always welcoming and it is a great place to start my mornings everyday! Also shoutout to Juliet, she is my favorite instructor, so fun, so cheery and encouraging !! I always grab her classes when I can! Thank you cycle bar midtown for always giving me the best experience and workout!

If you are wondering whether or not you should book your first ride at CB Midtown, go ahead and book that bike. From the front desk ladies to the instructors to the riders the atmosphere is truly so fun and welcoming. Each instructor has a different vibe and no matter who you take you will have a great time and get in a good workout!

I love coming here for workouts! Front desk is super kind and attentive. Classes are energy filled and you can take it at your own pace in this class environment. The playlists and stats you can download after class from your email as well which is cool!

CB Midtown is my home away from home! It’s the only workout routine I’ve ever truly been consistent with. Everyone there is so friendly, accepting and fun. Each instructor has their own style which keeps it exciting. Love ya midtown!

I have been visiting Charlotte for the past 4 weeks and taking classes at the Midtown Studio . The coaches, desk staff and Manager have been welcoming and helpful each and every time I came in. I am looking for community, as I consider relocating, and have found this at the studio. Giselle and Taylor were attentive in classes as the Coach, correcting form as needed. I will miss my conversations with Alex, the Sales Manager, who provided me with shopping and restaurant recommendations and places to visit! Parking is easy and studio is clean. Thank you all.

Anne Hancock here. It’s 700+ classes and life is good! Kudos and thanks to all the amazing coaches and staff at OTF Midtown. Earthy. Consistent. Professional without pretense. You have been integral in my recovery and I am grateful beyond words. 💪💕😊🙏

Great workout at OTF Midtown! Awesome way to start the day & care for my body. Attentive, experienced, motivating coach!❤️💪🏼 This place is open to all fitness levels!

Came here to workout while on a work trip and was so happy with the customer service and instructor. So glad this studio maintains the OTF culture that I love so much!

Awesome studio / one of my favorite (and I’ve been to 5+ as part of my membership!). The coaches are awesome and super motivating.

My favorite gym I’ve been to. Period. I travel a lot. The owner keeps this place on the up and up. Always getting new equipment. Great atmosphere. Lots of space. 10/10 recommend

On multiple occasions I received unauthorized charges to my account after pausing my membership. Gym set an arbitrary date to resume my membership without my written or verbal consent. Customer service is unhelpful and not knowledgeable enough to assist with billing issues. Owner is willing to lie and claim ignorance to continue to take your money. Terrible business. Would not recommend if you don’t like randomly being charged large sums of money.

Pros: the people that go there are friendly and serious about strength training. It’s a family owned biz which is super cool. Owners are friendly and down to earth. There is a huge dog that hangs out in the entry area sometimes, so if you are lucky, you might get a pet in after your workout. Even at peak hours you can still reasonably get to equipment you need and the spacious area makes it feel less crowded. When equipment is out of order, owners seem to be on top of it. Cons: Pricing is more expensive than comparable gyms in the area and that’s just for the basic membership. No military/emergency service discounts. There’s no AC. Like none. So when it’s 98 degrees outside, it will be pushing 100 something inside. Some masochists might count that as a pro, but just warning you. There are a couple of machines that I would like to see that aren’t there, so I have to modify my workouts to suffice. Maybe they’re on the premium side of the gym. I dunno. Overall, it gets the job done and should be nice inside once weather cools. People are super nice but it is more expensive than other typical memberships, so it depends on what is important to you.

The Fitness Factory is hands down the best gym in Charlotte. They have the largest variety of machines and is filled with a mix of the best brands in the industry. It is very well run from the top down to each staff member. They are always adding new equipment while investing resources into maintaining everything they have. I know this from personally as I come in to do preventative maintenance each quarter while making visits in between as necessary. I highly recommend this gym to anyone interested in improving their fitness at any level!

This gym really sets the bar for every other gym to achieve. Versatile equipment for anything you could possibly need. The staff is friendly and accomodating. Love this place!

Before signing up for a membership, be aware that there is a predatory cancellation policy that will not be adequately made clear and hidden in the “fine print”. They word it in a confusing way but you will have to pay for the entire month that follows the month you cancel in. The gym itself is nice with plenty of equipment all in good condition. It gets fairly busy from time to time but it isn’t bad compared to the more inexpensive gym options. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. My only general concern was about the dated software the YMCA uses to manage accounts and store credit card information. My card was not being correctly charged each month and I seemed to have to repeat payments on strange schedules which made me feel uncomfortable about the risk of extra, duplicate, and/or fraudulent charges.

This is my favorite YMCA. It represents the diversity of the neighborhood. They provide a lot of services affordably. The staff are so kind and welcoming. There is plenty of devoted parking for the gym itself.

It's giving "take your money without fully providing what you paid for" ATP. They canceled 2 Swim classes due to weather, they've only rescheduled 1 to make up for the 2 canceled. When asked about the 2nd makeup class date they instruct you to contact a person who doesn't return emails. I've been given the run around simply for expecting what was paid for OR a partial refund for their failing to provide all of the service/classes paid for. It's bad enough nowhere on the sign up for the session did it mention there wouldn't be classes on Memorial Day. We found out on the 1st day of class in a rude & laughing in our faces manner for asking. Mecklenburg County Park & Rec are now also offering swim classes for a MUCH cheaper cost. Had Google supplied that information before I signed up for the YMCA, I'd have picked them instead bcuz everything I've heard about the Y has been proven true via this experience. So unfortunate for a once reputable organization. I gave 1 star bcuz at least a couple of instructors were nice & some staff. Should there be a change, I'll gladly update but we'll see. If there's not, I may follow up on the advisement of seeing how many others haven't gotten all they paid for too via social media. Maybe it's worth looking into in more ways than one.

So poorly run, closes when the manager that night wants to go home. Sauna closes whenever the cleaners want to go home, when you cancel, they make sure to charge you full price(outrageous price for the poor quality facilities and management) 1 more time when you cancel. Cancelations also take 7-10 days unless you call, making sure to squeeze the money out of you. Parking is a joke, listen to all these reviews before joining. I know I wish I did.

I love the place and the staff. Maybe stop hating so much on the little stuff, if you have an issue with this Y there’s two more right down the road not even 10 minutes away. Covid messed a lot of people up so obviously people are gonna be struggling but you’re not helping the staff or the business if you act like a Karen when they are trying to progress. Maybe try to be polite rather than letting your anger get the best of you. This is coming from a 21 year old too btw. :)

This AF location is the whole package of what you’re looking for in a fitness center. First and foremost, the staff is very personable and professional in their health and wellness offerings. Olivia does such a great job keeping the facility in order and tidy (it is one of the cleanest gyms in the city area) and Jerrel not only is very knowledgeable of health and well being but also is extremely positive and energetic. I always feel welcomed and encouraged in the gym!

I love this gym! Olivia, Alexia and Jerrell work incredibly hard to make this place what it is—amazing! They greet me with a wonderful smile and a hearty hello everyone I enter the doors. They keep this facility running like a machine. It's always spotless clean and always together. Sometimes I even see them on their hands and knees scrubbing the floors! Their positivity and upbeat attitude shows through in so much they do. They take pride in this place and it's one of the main reasons I love coming here! Whatever you pay them, they deserve double!

I've been a member here at Anytime Fitness Oakhurst for about half a year and would highly recommend this facility for any exercise goals you might have. Great location that is kept clean and has a wide variety of equipment. Members are respectful and courteous of others and the staff are friendly, knowledgeable and always ready to assist with any queries. Having worked at a fitness center before, I can appreciate their effort in maintaining a great facility with a welcoming atmosphere. Also, the ability to workout 24 hours is a great option to have.

I’ve been a member at Anytime Fitness for almost 4 years. This is by far the BEST location. Why? The staff makes it that way. They are always smiling and very welcoming. There are even high-fives and hugs thrown in at times. Who are the true Members of the Months? The amazing staff!! Hands down! The staff’s attentiveness and awareness are top-notch! The gym is ALWAYS spotless. The staff ALWAYS thanks me for stopping in and always tell me to have a great day. This is my lifetime gym! Keep doing what you do!!

Have been a member of Anytime Fitness for little over a year and have enjoyed my experience. The staff are excellent with a special shout out to Olivia, Alexis, and Jerrel. All 3 are extremely nice and helpful. I've been working out most of my life (I'm 68) and have never experienced such a clean, well-kept gym. Even though not the largest gym I've ever experienced, the facility is more than adequate for my needs. Good job!

LAB City is an excellent venue to enjoy a variety of family and athletic activities. From pickleball to basketball, athletic training, and even great conversation and fellowship, LAB City has been a blessing to the community. The coaches at LAB City provide a welcoming instructional environment, guiding athletes to reach their full potential.

Our son comes to Lab City a couple of times a week for homeschool programming. We love everything about this place!! The coaches, the other kids, the other families…Everyone is so helpful, encouraging and kind. We are so happy to have such a wonderful basketball training facility right here in Charlotte. Thank you Lab City for providing a safe, enjoyable place for our kids to hoop!

LABCITY Sports Training & Events Center has been apart of our son/family life for over a year now. We love everything about this center and the people behind it. The coaches, the other player's and their families. We are so happy that we found such a wonderful basketball facility right here in Charlotte. Thank you LABCITY for providing a helpful, encouraging, supportive, safe and enjoyable place for our children.

Coach Andre has cultivated a really great space at Lab City! I really enjoy the family atmosphere and he is a very patient mentor for the kids. 10 out of 10!

There are quite a few youth sports programs in Charlotte. Over the past 17 years my kids have been involved with some that were good and some that were not so good. Lab City however, is Exceptional! We started out with a couple hours of training every couple of weeks. Coach Speech worked one on one with my son on the Dr. Dish Shooting Machine, teaching him the fundamentals as well as advanced shooting techniques. After the first couple of sessions, we knew we found a home. My son played on the rec team then moved to the 16U travel team. The level of care, safety, personal development, and training my son is exposed to is unmatched. This place is “all things basketball”. There is a culture of learning here that really sets the bar high and encourages growth and development as people and as athletes. I enjoy the family atmosphere, clean facilities, full court, training space, free parking, and ease of access from the highway. In the words of Coach Speech, “Lab City is a hidden gym (gem)”.

Fantastic facility with several areas to workout that have every type of weightlifting equipment you could want. Great variety of classes and training types. I’ve had an amazing experience working with Danielle as my personal trainer, she is college educated with years of lifting and competition experience. I’m weightlifting for health and fitness, not to compete, Danielle is excellent at programming sessions to my specific goals and we have fun! The scheduling system is very flexible, which is perfect for my variable work. Training here is definitely a highlight of my week.

Fantastic gym. I was visiting Charlotte and found this gym to use for 1 day. The process was easy. The app was easy. Getting in was easy. The workout was great!!! I’d go there again when I’m back in Charlotte.

I love this gym! Very welcoming, great coaches, programming and facilities. This gym has extra perks that most other gyms don’t offer, like a sauna! Great to go into after class and relax. I would highly recommend anyone in the area looking for a gym to come check this one out!

I did a day pass while I was in town for the weekend and everyone there was so welcoming and helpful! It’s always intimidating going to a new gym with different equipment or setups but no one batted an eye any time I needed assistance (which was quite a bit😅). If I lived in Charlotte this is definitely a gym I’d join!

Amazing gym and amazing staff. Charlotte strength has everything someone would want from a gym and more! You want CrossFit style workouts? They have it. You want Olympic weightlifting? They’ve got that too! Gym dog? Of course! Sauna? Yes!! Would highly recommend for a drop in or to make this your full time gym.

I’m 12-weeks into attending this gym consistently and it is absolutely amazing. The workouts are organized, targeted and change daily. The atmosphere is welcoming and the staff pushes you. Ashley, one of my favorite coaches is always so motivating, pushes you, and holds you accountable! Definitely has been one of my favorite workout spots in Charlotte! Thanks, Ashley!

Listen up- This place has a very fun workout structure and very welcoming and helpful staff. Easy to get started and you’ll probably want to keep coming back. I HIGHLY recommend! I love this place- I just need to show up, the workouts are easy to follow, but as challenging as I want to make them! They have you do the basics- squats, lunges, etc. but also some unique exercises I’ve never done previously- changing and working your body in every way. I wanted a great workout that had me feeling challenged, but not annihilated. That’s exactly what I got! If you want to get in the zone, not be competitive, but just get in a great workout- this place is great! If you want to be competitive- bring a friend and workout along side them!

I love Sweat440! I used to get slammed with late cancellation fees at other gyms, so having classes every 10 mins is a game changer for me on days where I’m running behind. The classes are also fun, challenging, and go by quickly! The workouts change daily and there’s a lot of variety in the exercises, so I never get bored. Both the staff and the other members are welcoming and encouraging, so it’s a great environment for people at all fitness levels. Highly recommend!

I've been going to Sweat440 for almost a year and absolutely love it! The way they time their classes has been a gamechanger for me and made being able to consistently attend classes so much easier with my work schedule. The coaches are amazing and kind and have provided me with such phenomenal support. I can't speak highly enough of this gym and its staff.

I am obsessed with this place! The classes hit you with so many different exercises that continuously keep you moving so it feels like the 40 minutes flies by. My favorite class has to be lower body shred with Ashley 🤍 she pushes me every class not just to finish strong every exercise but to be better than I was the round before

Absolutely amazing experience at QC Pump House, by far the best gym in the Carolina’s!!! The equipment selection is the best of any gym I have ever been to. QC Pump house also has the entire Booty Builder Line & 4 different variations of the hip thrust so this is a huge advantage for females. The atmosphere is extremely motivating. They have women’s & men’s locker rooms, a nice posing room, and they have showers & saunas coming soon. The staff is extremely helpful, the owner was super nice & gave me a tour. The lighting was incredible for photos & videos. Oh and I almost forgot they have ready to eat healthy meals that include macros. Like I said the best gym in the Carolina’s.

Top Tier gym in Charlotte. Has everything you need, and more. Good amount of people yet never overcrowded. Also the cleanest gym I’ve been to 10/10 recommend.

Was looking for a gym to try out while visiting family and came across QC Pump House. The owner was really helpful and the staff was awesome. They have just about anything you could need for a great workout. Their lock rooms are clean and great for after pump pics. Definitely recommend and will absolutely be back each time I’m in town!

I have a gym membership at almost every gym in Charlotte but this by far has been one of the best experiences. Within 3 minutes of being here the owner came and introduced his self to me really giving me a true family feeling. Everyone at the gym was super positive and they had all equipment needed. Any gym can have equipment but only a few gyms master having good service. Really proud of this gym

Me and my husband were in town from Atlanta and heard great things out this gym. The experience was overall fantastic. Bryan was incredibly helpful throughout the tour, providing clear guidance and making sure me we knew our way around the gym. His assistance made navigating the space much easier and more enjoyable.

My three day review at central location: (Day, one as a guest 1/19/25) The Assistant Manager Jared was amazing he seemed to understand what customer service means. He showed me around and provided a full gym experience which made me comfortable to get the black card membership! So he definitely needs a promotion. I came next day (1/19/25) as new member and the Assistant Manager was there with the same positive energy. He was treating everyone with respect. Now the here is why my review is three stars instead of 5; so I came in on (1/21/25) The store manager was there in which I didn’t know however I thought this company says there is a no judgment zone, mind you this is technically my second day as member. I open up the app in my phone, scanned and proceeded to start my workout process. In the store manager stopped me if with a little bit of attitude and asked me to re-verify myself. In which I questioned him as to why is he even going that far he says I had no picture yet, and again this is only my second day. So I ask him what is your reasoning especially I came in once with my own phone use my own app and was able to provide information to him about my account and he goes to say what if you stole that phone and was using it to steal a membership!!!!! Not only did the store manager made me feel highly uncomfortable, but to be accused of stealing my own phone to use for a gym membership is absurd. All because I didn’t have a picture on file yet!!!!! Again this is day two as a member. So for this to be a store manager who placed negative judgment and falsely accuse someone a Theft on my own personal phone and membership, even verifying all of my credentials. The store manager definitely need to take notes from the assistant manager on customer service and retention because his judgment energy in a “non-judgment” gym does not match. Indefinitely brought the experience down and do not look forward to ever seeing the store manager again.

Staff is always friendly, always keeping up with cleaning. We love working out here! Thank you for everything you do to make the gym an inclusive space! Management is doing a great job. Best Planet fitness location in Charlotte.

The staff is great; machines are quality, and the place is clean. They only have 3 smith machines which aren't near enough. Always waiting for one. The layout is ludicrous. They have the cardio and weights split between floors when they could have easily put one on the first floor and the other on the second. Since they're split, you have to continuously go up and down the floors to complete your workout, when it easily doesn't have to be this way.

I appreciate that the staff at PF Central are friendly and knowledgeable. Today I was greeted by name (excellent customer service) and really impressed by the personable atmosphere in here!! This is my home gym and there is a closer planet fitness to my apartment, but I choose to drive the extra miles to go to this specific planet fitness because of the positive atmosphere!

I love working out but I hate when people try to steal from me I have the basic plan card that charges 15 per month y’all did good my first month but this second month y’all went nuts and try to charge like I had the black card I’ll say this location is a scam due to what happens I like to talk with facts and proof of the matter everyone watch your transactions since it’s easy for them to just take your money I’ll file a report with my bank and report it as fraudulent since it’s easy for them to just place any amount to everyone that depends on cards please be aware of this scam that they doing might not be everyone but with a few hundred out of millions that are registered in this place it’s quite an amount be aware of scams and the planet fitness on central avenue have to be aware of your transaction this is just to cause awareness to y’all

While I’ve joined other gyms in the past, this gym has the perfect for me! The staff is friendly, it’s clean, and there’s plenty of equipment to use. They even have classes available for those looking to diversify their workouts. It’s super affordable too! Mr. Frank is the gym manager and always willing to answer questions or address concerns. If you’re looking for a new gym, give it a try! You’re welcome!

I went to Fitness Connection for the first time for a yoga class and it was amazing. The yoga instructor, Erica, was able to keep the class fun and accessible whether you’re a beginner or pro. Great people and great equipment. I am a beginner and can be a bit intimidated as a first time gym member. Staff was knowledgeable about equipment and weekly classes to try. Fitness connection is a great place for everyone at any stage of your fitness journey.

In town for the weekend. Gym is nice. Just set up weird. Just gym equipment everywhere. I did like the digital scale in the locker room. Gym has plenty of options. Unlike the location back home I did like they had a regular sauna.

Fitness Connection is an incredible gym!! I am out of town, and the guys on the east side took care of me. The manager Josh is an excellent person, and very good with people. I would totally recommend this place to workout. They have all the equipment you need!!

This facility was nice and clean. The equipment appears to be new and in great condition. Joshua was a huge help, super friendly. He strives to take good care of service-members, which is amazing. Would definitely recommend!
