So I came here since I wanted to try out another "Fitness Connection" and compare it to the other locations. I actually really like this gym (specifically this location). The lighting is bright which I think gives you a bit more energy and the place is pretty big. There is a cycle room, basketball court, kids room and a woman's section. The gym is spacious enough to maintain social distancing and there is someone frequently cleaning the gym throughout the day. The machines are very well maintained and they have a separate exercise room outside of the weights (in the basketball court and additional machines near the locker room). There is plenty of parking outside, TVs on throughout the gym if your a sports buff and also sports/protein drinks for great prices if you don't have one on you. The only reason why I gave this gym a 4 instead of a 5 is because I noticed that other gyms had the "green section" and ropes where you could do the battle ropes as a workout or push and pull the weights down the lane. This gym doesn't have that however it is in a convenient location, it's not too crowded, the staff is friendly (major plus) and it's clean. Either way you cannot beat the price - I highly recommend!

I just want to give a COVID review. My first experience going to the gym since COVID started was last week and I opted to come to this gym. They require that everyone wear a face mask while inside. That means even when you are on a treadmill or on the stair stepper you have to have a mask on. This is taking some getting use to for me! Additionally they do an amazing job of keeping this place clean. I have visited at several times in the day, from 5am-6pm. Each time I am there I see staff cleaning. They also have increased the amount of cleaning sprays and tissue for patrons to use. They are asking all patrons to clean equipment before using it and when you are done using it. This gym has set the standard for me. I wish I could stay in Charlotte just so I can work out at this gym.

The new staff really doesn't seem to care, they show up late to open on weekdays & do not pick up any of the equipment that is left laying around. I know it is our responsibility to put the weights back but some people don't. The previous staff was so good & used to walk around, and make sure the gym was clean & weights got restocked & held people accountable when they didn't. The new staff just sits on the counter tops and chit chats to each other, I don't ever see them walk around & take care of the gym. I also haven't seen the dumbbells completely wracked in so long & its really upsetting that they are letting this FC get lazy

The only place to get strong.   Love the new equipment here!

Management needs to make Erica a staple! Her HIIT class is phenomenal...she she was available more than just twice a week regardless of the class!

Only Joined to use the basketball court after work. And they are closed Monday thru Friday by 5pm. If you're looking for a place to play ball at this ain't it. They close it early and when it's open there's no organization at all. One game can take up to an hour. Waste of time and money coming here

Don't even waste your time if you trying to go play basketball you can't bring no kind of bag for your personal items. Always crowded ..

We drove 35 minutes here just to get kicked out of the gym because I had the "wrong shoes on" mind…read moreyou there were no signs anywhere that mentioned anything about what shoes we have to wear. For the record I had on Birkenstocks and I wear these shoes all the time to the gym and they've never said ANYTHING nor have I ever had an issue. I understand it's for safety to have fitted shoes but I don't always bring extra shoes with me every where I go, especially because I was just tryna make a quick stop to work out after running errands all day. A YMCA membership is not cheap, respectfully they shouldn't be kicking their guest out for not having proper attire. If they're going to do this provide backup attire or at least give me a warning for next time.‍ Fortunately the woman was kind about it but she didn't even allow me to work out since I was already there!! She kept apologizing like that's gonna give me my time back, this is my only day off and I don't have time to drive back and forth over some shoes.

3.5 out of 5. This…read morewould be 5 stars EXCEPT that it is so difficult to find available classes! Ultimately the people buying the unlimited pass get priority. If you buy the 8 pack of classes, you are only getting to schedule your classes as of the 25th of each month and they are only good until the next billing cycle. BUT the unlimited people can book classes up to 2 or 3 months in advance even if they cancel. So right now on February 24, I know that I can pick my classes tomorrow morning. When I look at the schedule though, the next week is almost entirely booked up already and there are very few class times available 2 weeks out! It is EXTREMELY frustrating and I regularly ask myself if it's worth the aggravation or if it's time to cancel my membership. It is not an inexpensive way to exercise and a regular mat pilates class is better at building strength. There are some very good instructors and there are some instructors that are "phoning it in". I stopped taking one instructor's classes because she would get us started on warm ups and then go chat with the person at the front desk, forgetting how long she was away from us. You often warm up one side and then the other. So we might be working on the left leg for 2 minutes and getting sore because she forgot us and then our right leg for about 30 seconds after she finished her conversation. We would end up warming up for 15+ minutes of a 50 minute class. Once you add in 10 minutes of cool down at the end, we weren't getting a good workout. If you want a GOOD workout , there are certain instructors to choose but I'm not naming them or I'll never get in a class! But otherwise I get a much better core workout by doing regular mat pilates.

Took a free intro class. 30 minutes. Great introduction to Pilates and the studio. It was fun and I…read morelearned about. No sales pressure. Friendly instructor. Located by Marcos Pizza.

Unfortunately they forgot about the weekends. (See attached photo) I usually come in the early to late mornings and I'm there we'll passed noon... so far each weekend there has been know one at the desk. The membership I pay for has free tanning. The only time I can take advantage of this is during the weekends, which I have been unable to do. I am not trying to be a pain in the neck. I just what whaI pay for and expect a clean establishment. Update... I pay the premium contract for tanning but the only time I can take advantage of it is during the weekends. Unfortunately they do not have staff during then. (See pic). Normally when there is no one on staff you have to use a QR reader to access entry. What they've resorted to is keeping the doors unlocked the entire time. Anybody can walk in and do whatever they want - not safe. I had a couple walk-in and approached me when I was working out and ask if there was anybody on staff... and there wasn't. Since there is not staff there is no cleaning. (See pics).
