Second, they have lots of different sizes and shapes of heavy things that they let you pick up and put back down again. I like to pick up heavy things and put them back down again, so this worked out quite well. Friendly, helpful guy running the front and tons of machines and free weights inside. I didn't use anything else, just the gym, but it was great!

Just a quick review on my personal experience at Original Workout from March 2022- May 2022.... My…read moremain objective was to find a trainer on behalf of my 14yr old son who is avid in sports and was looking to bulk up and build muscle for his upcoming HS football year. So, after doing some research I had contacted Original Workout for his needs who then recommended Ryan Gant, we were introduced he trained with him for a tryout session my son really liked him and Ryan seemed to fit his needs, so we committed to his $300 a month training sessions. Ryan was great for the 1st month then on after in the months to follow he was canceling at the last minute most of the time less than 20 mins before a session, rescheduling, and constantly changing the original time we committed to giving me the impression he didn't care about my son or his goals.... but I gave him the benefit of the doubt. Now bringing us to May where he only received 2 sessions and nothing but excuses and canceling at the last minute. Ryan disappeared without notice leaving my son hanging and me wasting my time only to show up and he wouldn't be there. He really disappointed my son and didn't seem to care about what my son was hopping to achieve he talked a good game but couldn't fulfill my sons goals leaving me to find someone else. He left me feeling like it was my son and that he didn't matter but after this experience I'd come to find out from several of his other clients and others in the industry that this is his pattern. I did request a full refund for that month which he gave but unfortunately I would NOT recommend him

They have a nice selection of equipment; cables, free weights, turf, ropes, sled, machines, and cardio equipment. Locker room was clean and organized. Small but efficient group fitness room. Class schedule looked a little sparse. There was a hip hop fitness class going on when I went, and it was one instructor and one attendee. The instructor was bringing it like the class was full, so props to him! If I lived here I would join this gym!

The 'new' gym is hideous. in contacting the management,, the person couldn't have cared less, she was condescending, flippant, she didn't listen to what I was saying and she was dismissive. it was clear her missive was to get me off the phone. The staff is put in a terrible spot. they aren't being communicated with from management. people are wandering around lost in the facility because of the lack or non existence of staffing. Rooms aren't available when you talk to one person but another person says they can unlock it. they are RUINING the experience of going to the gym.

This post is long, however I feel it may be helpful when deciding on joining this gym or not. If I…read morecould give one star I would but I cannot. Coming up on seven months now. To start off, I was a member at the Kannapolis gym. I could not figure out how to get my card to work for me to scan in and asked an employee about it. They told me I could switch over to their gym (Hickory) with no problem. Stupidly, I agreed. I inquired about cancelling the one in Kannapolis and John, the GM or Assistant GM, said he would take care of it for me. I also asked about the rate fee charge as I had already paid it for the Kannapolis. He again told me he would take care of it and I wouldn't have to pay it twice. Fast forward a month and I get charged for my membership in Kannapolis. I did not have my card on me, so I did not have it added for the auto draft at this time. I call John and ask him what's going on. He told me he had canceled my membership so I asked him why they charged me anyway. He did not have an answer. I had to call the Kannapolis location and cancel my membership and they took care of it immediately. I asked John if I would be charged for that month since they were supposed to cancel it for me and he said no. I then receive an email saying I owe the gym $70 for my rate fee and the month membership. Reminder I did not have a card on file so they could not pull money. I go to the gym and another employee assists me. I explain to him the issue and he waived the charges for me. I have worked at a Workout Anytime before and knew of a card was put on file, money owed would be drafted. To make sure this didn't happen, I asked the employee if I could wait to put my card on file to make sure the charges were in fact waived. He said absolutely. I then run into money trouble and call to ask if they would freeze my account for this month because I could not afford it. John told me since I was such a dedicated member they would give me that month for free. obviously I was grateful and agreed. I put my card on file after talking with John. I then received another email saying I now owe the gym $120. This charge included the previous month, the current month, the rate fee, and a $20 late fee charge. It pulled all of that in my account and left me with less than $1 to my name. I called John and told him what happened and he said he would refund my money to me. Two weeks pass and I have yet to see anything go into my account. I call the Workout Anytime member line and ask if a refund has been issued for my account. The lady told me no. So I call John again and let him know what she said. He told me he did put the refund through and said he would call to do it again. Another two weeks or so pass and I haven't received my refund. I again call the member line and ask about it again. She tells me it has not been issued and I am not authorized to issue a refund, completely understandable. I call John again and tell him once more. H seals he would take care of it. At this point, I'm furious. Another month goes by and I have YET to get my refund of $120. I call John and ask him what the hold up is. He said that they were unable to put the refund back on the card and will have to mail a check. I ask why it was easy for them to take the money, but they can't put it back on the card. He did not have an answer. Seven months later and still no refund. At this point, there's no point to fight and try to get it. But I feel this is important to share in case anyone has had this issue before or is thinking about joining this gym.

I am finishing up on my 9th week at Phoenix Physical Training & OMG y'all, he is awesome…read more I meet with Jesse 3 days a week, 30 min sessions. He is working with me to rehabilitate & strengthen my body from a spinal cord injury & my latest back surgery. After 2 weeks, my family & friends were already seeing a big difference in my walking & activity level. The 4th week I was able to do 2 Walmart trips with my son. Y'all, I haven't been in a store since the later part of 2017. I suffer from lots of nerve damage, both active & chronic. My legs randomly give out on me causing falls. Public places were not an option for me until now. I am even confident now enough to run a few errands on my own. This is huge for me. Anyone who suffers from anything knows the toll it takes on you not just physically, but mentally as well. So just getting out can cause anxiety. Now I'm getting out 3 days a week going to a safe place that's helping me get better. A win-win for me for sure. Jesse is one of the most comfortable trainers/therapist that I have ever worked with. He is so patient & encouraging. I was going to one of the local popular physical therapy places for awhile & I wasn't comfortable. The girls there were great, but it was all out in the open & always lots of people around. No privacy. I dreaded going each time. Another issue I had with them was scheduling. By the time my insurance would approve sessions, this place wasn't able to accommodate them all in-in the time they had to be used by. I was missing out on a lot of therapy sometimes not able to get in for 2 wks. For some reason they wouldn't pre-schedule my visits. It was very frustrating & stressful. I Phoenix Physical Training for anyone either in my situation or just wanting help to get healthy & fit. I can not stress enough how good he is & how comfortable he is to work with. He really cares & is very passionate about helping others. I look forward to our sessions & can't wait to see where I'll be at physically in another 9 wks. I am so excited for my progress & forever grateful to Jesse for bringing me this far so quickly. Thank you.
