We were very impressed with the facilities and the dedicated TRX room. Everything was clean and in top condition. Lynn is NO JOKE!!! She delivered a challenging and effective TRX class! She made sure to offer modifications and was attentive to everyone's form to ensure safety and efficiency. We look forward to taking more TRX classes with Lynn at PIlates of Charlotte the next time we are in town.

Its always a different challenge that leaves me sore, but excited to come back. The classes are small 8-10 max.

This place is everything you would want in a Pilates studio and more. The reception area is open…read moreand welcoming, there are cubbies to put your bag and your shoes in, they sell DVDs and other Pilates ish, and there are bathrooms to change in. The practice area is beautiful; they are three separate rooms, one large room where there is a barre, 4 Cadillacs, and 4 reformers, another room for gyro-tonic, and a third room with a little bit of everything. All the rooms have hardwood floors and the walls are this refreshing light green color. The place is very calming and inviting. I have taken the Core Barre class on Tuesday night at 6:30 ($20) and the Reformer class on Thursday morning at 7am ($30). I highly suggest going to the Core Barre class to get a feel for the studio and then inquire about reformer classes. Their website has a lot of information about everything they offer. Tip: This place is not easy to find. You go down Fairview toward Cameron Valley Pkwy, flip a U turn at Cameron Valley Pkwy, and then take your first left into where all of the brick buildings are. They are back left if you were standing on Fairview. I suggest leaving early for class the first time you go in case you get lost like me :) Alas, you could probably walk in to class 5 mins late if it was your first time, they are very welcoming there.

I'm so happy to have found this gem in the South Charlotte area! Absolute Pilates is my new…read morefavorite studio!! It is so clean and fresh looking, and has the most up-to-date equipment I've seen. Allison (the office manager) is so welcoming and I always enjoy chatting with her before class. :) Monica (the owner) is a brilliant instructor. I love her Core Barre classes! I've been to so many other classes that leave me feeling exhausted, but she has a way of working every muscle, yet you always feel energized and fabulous when finished. I've also started Pilates private sessions...never knew that Classical Pilates was such a challenging workout nor that the Gratz equipment made such a big difference in feeling it in all the right places. Beautiful clean studio, professional staff with excellent instruction. Thumbs up!!

First time at this location and the experience was top notch! Super friendly staff and Coach Sophia…read morewas amazing! You enter with a code and check in on a tablet-If I recall, the door locks 5 minutes after class so I appreciate the security feature. The setup can seem a bit overwhelming at first, but by the time the coach explains and demos everything it will make sense. Sophia did great demos and and instruction, and the mirrors are also helpful if you don't have full view of the instructor. Each workout focuses on specific body parts, which is great if you like to switch it up. The lights and the music add to the experience-definitely a fun workout. The studio is also very clean, with lockers for your stuff and a well stocked bathroom. I booked using ClassPass credits and will definitely be back. 5 stars!

I wanted to try a few classes before I wrote my review even though I joined right after the first…read moretry. I love working out here. You can try a class for free. When you become a meme we you have 24 hour access and you can take a class any time of day or night. Classes are held in a room that holds up to 3 people. The rooms are reminiscent of a sauna and for good reason. They have wooden floors, ceilings and walls and shall I mention that rooms are heated from 125 to 128 degree infrared heat. Classes are 15 to 30 minutes long. There is a large variety of classes. You can take yoga, barre, cycle, Pilates, ISO and more. I really enjoy that the rooms are small and only allows a few people. The members all seem to be very friendly. I especially love that the members are diverse in gender, age, weight, strength and shape. I don't feel pressured to win but only to do my best and enjoy my workout. I love the heat. The infrared heat is great for detox, pain in the body, increase sleep, decrease stress, help with post recovery, burn more calories faster and more. Try out a class. I feel great afterwards and look forward to going back. They even have an app the connects to your Apple Watch, Fitbit or you can record your calories burned separately. I look forward to many more workouts

I really love the concept of this gym. The idea of having a peaceful, quiet space to enjoy a…read more45-minute sauna session while following yoga, Pilates, or other guided classes is what made me join, and when the environment is calm, it's an incredible experience. Unfortunately, there is one recurring issue that's making me consider canceling my membership. A couple of mornings each week, very early in the day, a group of members brings their own music and plays it so loudly that it can be heard throughout multiple saunas, even with their sauna door closed. I genuinely admire their commitment to their workouts, and I have no issue with them listening to their own music. The problem is simply the volume. The loud music competes with the relaxing music the gym is already playing, creating an overwhelming mix of sounds. On top of that, their yelling and excitement during their workout make it nearly impossible to hear the instructor in my own session or experience the peaceful atmosphere the gym is designed to provide. This has turned what should be a calming, restorative experience into a stressful and distracting one. It's especially disappointing because I truly love everything else about this place. If this issue could be addressed--whether by enforcing reasonable volume levels or ensuring music stays within the sauna it's being played in--I would happily continue my membership. I hope management considers this feedback because I believe the peaceful environment is the heart of what makes this gym special.

Honestly, I don't write much reviews but I have to give props to Charlotte RIPS in the area…read more When I first came here, I was hesitant to start due to being out of shape. I hadn't worked out in over 2 years, I ate pizza for breakfast and worked at an office job.... Being mobile really wasn't my thing. After getting a physical where my blood pressure and cholesterol put me at risk for some health issues, I decided to make a change. I didn't know where to start but I decided to try Charlotte RIPS. Right away, Vito was very knowledgable and helped me feel comfortable by walking me through the process of what to expect and what was expected of me to see results. I've never been a gym rat but this is a place that I truly enjoy. It's only been about a month but already my overall health has improved and I'm starting to see results. If you want to be in a workout environment that strives to empower you to work towards your goals whatever they may be, as well as start your journey towards a healthier lifestyle then I would recommend this place. Don't be fooled though, you have to put in the work. My trainer is Andre and he always provides one on one specialized training to work towards my goals. All of the trainers are dedicated towards helping their clients become better and they help you learn how to eat better and adopt fitness as a lifestyle.This place is affordable and for the level of service provided, I highly recommend.
