Best Gyms with Free Weights near Huntersville, North-carolina

Had to reduce to 1 star after realizing I pay $150 a month for a gymnasium and yoga room I can't use UNLESS I'm in a class. I was using the empty gymnasium and was asked to leave despite there being no classes for the entire day. Would not recommend unless you are using for classes. Seems like new management have really started making unnecessary changes.

Went to the center to look around. Looks like they have a huge competition pool, a smaller pool that had little kids taking lessons, weight room, room with exercise equipment, aerobics room and an outside volleyball court. Had a pop-up Christmas Market too. Looks like a fun place!

I joined HFFA a little over a year ago. I needed more than just the peloton workouts I was doing religiously at home. Since joining HFFA I have not only changed physically but more importantly mentally! Everything about HFFA is so much more than you will think and expect! The staff that work there are now like family. I’ve met so many new friends and the childcare is amazing!!! I actually look forward to working out! If you are hesitant to join come check it out! You will not be disappointed!!!

From the moment I walked into the facility, I was greeted by the front desk staff with big smiles and a willingness to answer all my questions! I received an in depth tour and was pleasantly surprised how organized and clean the facility is! I sensed a family oriented center with so many options for everyone in my family to use! The fitness center is smaller than I expected, but they have every piece of equipment that we will need to get in an adequate workout! The pools and child care section are awesome and I can’t wait for my “littles” to enjoy it ALL! Thank you Huntersville for a great family space!

Overall really clean and pleasant facility with lots to offer families. We’ve been members for a few years and find the pricing and convenience great. I only wish they had more classes scheduled in the afternoon and evenings for adults. Majority of the 5:30 pm and later classes on weekdays are one class type or labeled as for kids, which I find odd knowing afternoons and evenings are ideal times for most working adults.

I absolutely love this gym and the staff that works there! They are always so friendly and helpful. They also are constantly making improvements to the gym. Plus you can visit this location anytime of the day or night so long as you have your key card. Talk about convenience!

Dropped in on a visit, very well equipped, lots of weight machines and free weights, plenty of cardio machines too. Great club!

PROS: Great staff/management Good responsible members Clean facilities!!! CONS: Gym overhead music is too loud. You can hear it over your own music thats inside your ear. Annoying.

Great gym. Staff is knowledgeable. Restrooms/showers are very clean. Huntersville location is well maintained. There is really no excuse not to work out. It's open 24 hrs a day.

I've always been intimidated by gyms. I always felt like people were looking at me being awkward, even though they probably weren't. When I arrived at Anytime Fitness, I was even nervous that people would stare at me because I was in jeans and a hoodie, rather than workout clothing. The dumbest things were worrying me. As soon as I walked in to sign up, ChrisDee greeted me cheerfully and helped me get a feel for the gym. Two days later, I had my fitness consultation with a personal trainer named Brandon, who I've now started seeing weekly, one on one. I've always wanted to be the type of person who has a personal trainer, and I can finally say that I do! Brandon is kind, patient, and good at pushing the limits, but not with so much intensity that it's unbearable (I'm working on healing my left shoulder, and he often checks in to make sure it isn't hurting). I'm incredibly grateful to be a part of a 24 hour, smaller gym. I even like that Clint reaches out by text to encourage me, send training confirmations, etc. The staff are all compassionate and friendly, and that makes a huge difference.

I visited this gym while traveling through the area. I paid the $10 drop in rate and I was pretty blown away by the equipment. This gym is a SERIOUS gym for anyone who’s looking to do bodybuilding, strongman, weightlifting, powerlifting, or CrossFit. They even have an entire CrossFit room with gymnastic equipment. This gym has belt squats, reverse hypers, decline bench press, lying prone row, safety squat, a ton of equipment you don’t normally see in commercial gyms. The environment can feel a little hardcore but the patrons were quite friendly. I wish there was an Olympic 365 in the west coast!

Was easy enough to drop in on my way through town. Cool gym with all the stuff a powerlifter needs. Chalk dispensers are a nice touch.

Awesome gym, has tons of equipment. The owner is extremely nice and so is the staff. I bought a couple of day passes to see if I liked it and decided to join today.

Great gym and great people. If you’re looking for a gym that meets every level of fitness, this would be the one.

Great gym, great equipment. Got a day pass with some buddies while in town. Friend left their phone on a holiday weekend, and on Sunday morning, when the gym would not be staffed for 2 days, the owner was willing to locate and help us retrieve the phone. Dedicated to fitness and customer satisfaction. 10/10 Elite Fitness refused to sell us a day pass BEFORE the 2 pm cut off because their employees were being lazy on a holiday weekend.

Just like Janelle, I tried to cancel my membership over a year ago! Thought I had. Unknowingly, I was continued to be drafted for over a year. (I know, I should’ve checked my bank account.) In the process of moving banks, I receive a text message from Denice, asking to “take care of my unpaid monthly membership”. I was like, “WTH is she talking about?” By chatting with her via text, because I was working, she tells me it was never cancelled. But I could cancel after I pay another months membership?! They had already collected 12 or more payments from me already! I asked her to cancel it immediately, and she refused, sending me a cancellation form instead, saying it was “required”. I noticed on the said form it says for cancellation/ freeze. Funnily enough, I froze my account back in 2019/2020 for shoulder surgery without filling out ANY paperwork. As I was checking my email a few days later, I notice I have an email from RockBox with an invoice. Not only did she NOT CANCEL my membership, she drafted my account for the membership fee, and added an invoice fee for $20 as well. I would not recommend a membership here, unless you plan on never cancelling. The trainers are great, but not worth the hassle if you plan to leave.

This is by far the BEST place to get and stay in shape. The RockBox concept is absolutely incredible. Is a great environment to go through an intense workout while having fun doing it. All the trainers and managers are freaking AWESOME! Tommy, Ally, Sarah, Fernando, Aaron and Jay. What a crew! THAN YOU!

I have been doing RockBox for over 6 years. I am in my 60's and in much better shape than I was decades earlier. RockBox fitness experts will push you to get more cardio fit than you have ever been. Yet they will take time to work with you Individually and modify their exercises to suit you. They will also assist you get your diet headed in the right direction. It is my favorite workout place that I have ever done. Try I am sure you will like and think of it as one of the best decisions you have ever made. See you there.

The 1 star review is for the gym manager, Sarah Wilson. I went to the gym to inform them that I would like to cancel my membership due to work travel and moving out the area, as it did not make sense to continue the membership. I was informed by a staff member that the gym manager needs to cancel the membership and he gave me her business card stating that I can email, call or text her. I emailed her on 1/10/24 to notify her of the cancellation and even stated per my contract, I need to inform in writing at least 30 days in advance of the next billing cycle (15th of the month for me) so I figured it would be done and I would not owe for February. No response. So I texted her on 1/12/24 reiterating my cancellation and even informed her that I emailed her about cancelling the membership. No response. So now I’m getting notices about a past due amount of $358….I did my due diligence and followed the instructions as outlined in the contract on what to do about canceling membership. Why is it so hard to cancel your membership here? And why is the gym manager not responsive when I have reached out in writing? No one answers the phone so that’s pointless. I refuse to believe a cancellation fee is $358, so where is this amount coming from? No one responds to anything so how will I get any answers? Sarah needs to work on her customer service and respond to customers, not a good look. Despite that issue THE TRAINERS ARE AMAZING AND DESERVE A RAISE AND GET FIVE STARS FROM ME!! Just beware when you sign up that there will be issues if you cancel membership.

Supportive, friendly, clean, and challenging. That's what to expect when you walk through the doors at RockBox Fitness Huntersville. All of the coaches are dedicated and do a great job motivating you and making personalized recommendations that you just can't get at an open gym like Planet Fitness or other large chain gyms. RockBox is like a big family for me the last 6 years.... People helping people reach goals and stay fit. This was a lifestyle-changing decision and well worth every penny and minute! Change your mindset, change your life! Thanks, Team RockBox! Here's to another 6+ years of excellence!

Erika is an outstanding coach—always offering helpful guidance and support in class. She’s patient, encouraging, and incredibly knowledgeable, taking the time to explain each workout and movement in detail. I’d give her a 10/10, and highly recommend her, as well as all the other coaches at CrossFit Huntersville, to anyone looking to improve their health or start their CrossFit journey!

For any athlete of any age/ability who wants to learn or improve at CrossFit, this is the gym to do it in. The coaches and environment here are beyond outstanding! The feedback they give during classes to keep their athletes safe, while also challenging them, is the best I’ve ever been around. The owner has created a space here that is extremely rare. Her consistency in how she leads and manages is one of the strongest examples of leading from the top down that I’ve ever seen. Because of the standard she has set, you’re going to get the same experience every time you attend a class, no matter what coach it is.

I changed to this gym to be closer to home 3 years ago and so glad I did. The community here is second to none and I have met some of my closest friends through Crossfit Huntersville. The classes are small enough to get that personal feel from the coaches and easily the best part of my day! The addition of the run club that meets once a week is fantastic and I can always count on them to meet me out there.

I have been a member for almost five years. I currently have access to free membership at another facility and still choose to pay to be here. The friends I have made have become family and I have been consistently getting fitter both physically and mentally for the last five years. You will not regret coming here.

Had a great first day at CrossFit Huntersville! Erica was patient and supportive as I navigated this first session! And the energy was awesome and welcoming!
