The owner double dips on cancelations charges…read more You heard me, double dips. As in, charging you - charging me. The instructors are great, the workout is hard, but what makes it so hard to love this place is the owner. Instead of caring about his members and their enjoyment of the gym, all he focuses his time on is scamming his high-paying members on late charges. So if I add myself to a waitlist, and someone drops out at midnight, and now I've made other plans - thinking I can't get in this class - he CHARGES YOU! Get this, you're next in line... you actually go and fill the spot, HE STILL CHARGES ME! #MoneyGrab The owner's waitlist policy is disgusting, it's cheap and it's disgraceful. I've contacted my credit card company and the BBB as this is the 3rd time I've attempted to reason with him on this fraud. He couldn't care less and enjoying milking his members for all their worth. $22 is charged to you if you're on a waitlist and even say NO I can no longer attempt! Honestly, it's pitiful how he's grasping for $22 straws. See pics for examples.

If you're the type of person who loves to work out in a group setting, with a coach/instructor to…read moreguide you and help your form, all while getting the most intense core workout of your life, this is the perfect place for you! Note that the new NoDa CORE 704 is now by the shopping center at Amelie's, rather than at their previous location in a house across from Heist. I started coming here with a friend for a different workout (other than the gym and weights), and I became obsessed! The instructors really help you and guide you in your moves and form, so that you don't injure yourself. The workouts are easy to follow and you are able to adjust based on skill level. I always come to this place with fear, but leave feeling amazing and sore! I definitely would recommend this place to anyone!

I had a pretty great experience and saw results after going for four weeks. It has a nice atmosphere with an encouraging community. The trainers are friendly, professional and knowledgeable. Every class is a little different and always challenging so expect to get your butt kicked. I actually looked forward to going to my workouts if that says anything. I definitely recommend doing their intro class if you're new to Crossfit/weightlifting movements. The coaches were very accommodating when I needed to modify exercises due to past injuries. Big shout out to Lillian, one of the coaches I worked with the most. Thank you for being so warm and welcoming since day one and answering all of my newbie questions! I'll definitely consider joining the gym full time. All in all a great experience.

UCF was my second home during the 3 years I lived in Charlotte from 2011 - 2014, and I was so bummed to leave this place and the amazing people there!

The classes I've done are good, and the staff has been nothing but friendly. Locker room is clean as is the pool.

Before I met Daniel (owner of Edge Performance Training), I thought I'd tried just about every type…read moreof workout out there. I'd tried power lifting, endurance training and triathlons, crossfit, even athletic conditioning at the local YMCA. I've always worked out; I was just really bored with the usual set routines and classes. Daniel completely changed my perspective on training and the way I work out. He puts together the toughest and most unique training workouts I've ever been through. Ever trained like an MMA fighter? Ever trained using only ropes, bags of sand, or flipping a truck tire end over end?...I hadn't either. Edge Performance combines cardio with functional type movements that are more natural (and useful) for my body than simply lifting a barbell. Daniel is always evolving and changing the workouts which means my body continues to get stronger and feel better.... But the best part is that I love working out again!
