I worked here at Lifters for a short period of time. Now I understand why there are such harsh reviews. When members would come into the store, as directed by the owner (Chad Taylor a fraudulent bussiness person), I would have to tell them to leave and go home to cancel there membership. What a truly poor bussiness model. He is trying to rake in every single penny that he can because he is aware that his bussiness is failing. On a separate note, when I quit (happily), he did not pay me nor would he answer any of my messages or calls. I finally went up to the gym to let it be known how unhappy I was. When I arrived my check had been there all along, yet he did not bother to tell me. Stay away from this gym. It's a money trap: if you do not listen to the other reviews or this one, BEWARE you will not be content. I wish I could give a 0 star review. read more

Trying to cancel your membership at this gym is a nightmare. Followed the steps that were explained when I joined, including bringing my carbon copy of the original contract (as if they wouldn't have a copy or record on file). At that time I was informed only the owner could authorize a cancellation. They could not offer a contact number or a time when he would be in the office. The employee I spoke with said ai would have to submit a form online to cancel. I did this and the submission just comes back to me as undeliverable. I have tried to submit the form several times as well as calling the gym trying to catch the owner there. Frustrated and furious. This is shady business.I've been jumping through their hoops for 3 months and no luck. I'm calling a lawyer or action 9 tomorrow. Tired of wasting the most valuable resource I have, my time resolving something that should be simple. read more

Not giving any stars because the owner or manager or whatever he is a petty thief. Been trying to cancel my membership for over a year and he's the only one that can cancel memberships but "he's never around" even though you can sometimes hear him in the background. He refuses to cancel memberships. I have been in person and been emailing for over a year. In person I was told I couldn't cancel because he wasn't there, which I don't believe he actually wasn't there, and over email he wants utility bills, rental agreement as proof of me no longer living there...it's a gym membership I shouldn't feel like I have to give up my first born to cancel my membership. Ended up calling the bank to force stop any transactions from them. Would not recommend unless you plan on never leaving. read more

Be warned we have been trying for 5 months to cancel our membership. We flowed all the instructions and filled out forms via the web but they never seem to recive them. We are but one voice calling them out on bad billing practices. Please do not be scamed like we were. We are still trying to stop them from taking out payments. BBB has complaints as well as fb, Google review and border review form BE WARE read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. Went to this gym maybe a week and canceled. Way to small and no one really cleans up after themselves. I have been trying over a YEAR to cancel my membership and they continue to send invoices. I have sent email after email and phone calls and no one will answer me back. I ended up having to put a hold on my bank account then for them to pull off my debit card. Which then I had to cancel my card and get a new one. Absolutely ridiculous. Worst gym in Albemarle as well as probably Stanly county. Just do yourself a favor and stay away. read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE this spot. Gyms a little old school with equipment you will not see at other gyms which allows me to keep every workout fresh and new. The members are great, staff is great and you will even see the owner there talking to members on a regular basis. It took me years to leave Gold's because I'm simply a creature of habit. Thankfully COVID came along and Lifters Gym remained open and as soon as they started accepting new members I was busting the door down for a membership. Blessings in disguise I tell you and there will be no regrets for me making the switch. The gym is always clean with the members all chipping in to do their part. The only negative I can say is.......never mind there are no negatives. It's an awesome place for those looking to workout instead of socialize. Thank you Lifters Gym! read more
