Trainers in Charlotte

“I couldn't be happier with Balanced Physical Therapy & Pilates. I've been working with Colleen for the past couple months to rehab a troublesome SI Joint. She is a natural teacher: intuitive, smart, encouraging, and really good at explaining the mechanics.“

“I have been working out at Alloy Blakeney for over a year now and have noticed wonderful changes in my body composition not to mention becoming stronger and healthier thanks to the trainers at Alloy! I would highly recommend working out here as the trainers are all very helpful and supportive and I have made some great friends in the process!“

“My husband and I have both been going to F45 Noda for about a year now and we both absolutely love it! The workouts are never the same and every day focuses on something different so you never get bored with the routine! What makes this location really special tho are the coaches! Ally, Enrique, Gabe and John all bring fitness expertise & are all always super welcoming! I would recommend this studio to anyone! All fitness levels welcome!“

“Our college-age daughter trained with Lexi and could not have been happier with the results. A budding athlete in her youth and into high school, our daughter was totally derailed by Covid. After several years, she was ready to get back in the gym, but apprehensive about doing it on her own. Lexi's coaching was exemplary, and not just the physical side. Lexi's wisdom and guidance were spot-on and invaluable to our daughter. In the gym, she achieved things with Lexi that were remarkable. Our daughter looked forward to her sessions every single week. So we highly recommend Lexi for all ages, and especially for young women.“

“I am a professional golfer and wanted to dedicate my winter to getting stronger and swinging the club faster. I went to Nate 5 days per week for 3 months and saw the best results. I increased my clubhead speed by 8 mph without doing any swing training, only fitness training with Nate. I feel better, look better, and now don’t want to stop working out! Thanks for everything, Nate.“

“Rain is a very knowledgeable trainer and a great person to be around. I have been training with him for almost a year and always enjoy my sessions. I recently had to have surgery on my hip and Rain was able to tailor our program to improve strength and balance before my surgery. Post-operatively, I have been ahead of schedule! My physical therapist is amazed with how well I’m doing and is impressed with the workouts Rain creates. I was able to come off crutches two weeks early and am weeks ahead in my surgeon’s rehab protocol. Rain is the best of the best when it comes to high quality, individualized personal training.“

“I had the privilege of being mentored by Master King and Dr. King, alongside their dedicated students, in the art of Muay Thai at Black Belt USA. Their exceptional guidance and the camaraderie they fostered made my learning journey truly transformative. The experience was invaluable, and I am deeply grateful to have been shaped by their expertise and included in their rich legacy. This journey will remain a cherished part of my personal and martial arts history.“

“Performance Unlimited is the best gym I've ever been a member of by far. The facilities are nice and well-equipped, but the dedicated and knowledgeable top-notch employees / trainers / coaches are the true difference maker. I've been a member at PU for 2.5 years now (the longest I've stayed with a gym) and have seen great improvement in my strength, conditioning, and mobility. But, to get there, we had to overcome some prior injuries and weaknesses (i.e., low back pain) that required thoughtful training, programming, and a real attention to proper form. The tailored approach here is incredibly helpful both mentally and physically, and I look forward to continuing to improve with the PU team.“

“Love working with the great team at Southpark! The facility is always clean, the team is vigilant in sanitizing the equipment after each use..I’ve seen a marked improvement in my tone and strength. The trainers always strike a good balance of encouraging you to challenge yourself and respecting whatever aches you might be experiencing that day. They help me to love it even on the days I don’t want to do it! Tal has been extremely patient and has given me great guidance. Brian and Kevin have been extremely helpful as I’ve recovered from a minor surgery and had to ease back into training. Two years in I see and feel a big difference in my tone, strength and mobility.“

“One of the BEST workout and training facilities I have ever trained in. From the Personal Trainers(mine was Brandon DeCaro), The variety of training equipment and stations, to the friendly staff and Owner Mike DellOrfano. I HIGHLY recommend anyone to check out MOTION fitness. Definitely Top Notch!?⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Next Level Fitness has been the missing piece in not only my weight loss journey but my life as a whole. The weight I’ve lost (almost 200lbs!!!), combined with the strength and endurance I’ve developed is associated with renewing my mind when it comes to fitness and health. Devin with Next Level Fitness did that for me. He helped me figure out my “why” which has been one of the biggest take aways. A huge part of my success is contributed to being consistent, disciplined, and remaining dedicated. Having a clear vision of my “why” has and continues to allow for me to push myself to the next level. Which will always be the goal. ??????“

“I want to acknowledge my current trainer Derek!! I am so impressed with him. He listened, researched my condition and is adapting my training accordingly. He adds "personal" to personal trainer! The encouragement he provides is timely and not over the top. He deserves to be recognized for his commitment, determination and willingness to push the boundaries of traditional training.When I started with Phenom Trainers, I had a different trainer. He did an amazing job getting me moving again and for that I am forever grateful. But he left the company. At first I was hesitant to have a different trainer.Both trainers met me where I was at in my training journey. They are both passionate and very professional.I want to also thank Melissa and Thad for reaching out and getting me started!“

“I just got a stretch from Rachel. And as a fellow stretch therapist I must say she is Amazing and very knowledgeable and informative. Look forward to my next session ?“

“My time with Taylor was invaluable and absolutely what I needed to get me on track with my fitness goals. In every session and email, Taylor was very informative and gave lots of details for any concept or exercise he was explaining. He made it clear what was needed to reach certain goals, and has many methods of tracking progress. If you adhere to what he sets out for you, you will see results.His private gym is very clean and all of his equipment is well maintained. All workouts are 1-on-1 with him, which is great to have an environment where I could ask questions and get the direct training I need for my goals. He is very responsive to any communication you may have with him outside of your sessions as well.Overall, I appreciate Taylor for giving me a new mindset towards fitness and exercise. I have a better understanding of what it takes to reach my goals. He also helped me reached one of my main goals with working with him, which is to get better at deadlifting. I started in the low 100 lbs with incorrect form, but I am now up to 200+ lbs. His sessions will get you to where you want to be, if you put the work in!“

“I have been training with Brian for a few months now. The change in my strength and fitness is evident. Brian continues to keep my workouts fresh with different exercises each session. He takes the time to understand my goals so that he can create a successful program for me.“

“I use this service 1 year ago and I needed to get back on track, and just like before my results started showing within 7 weeks.. I am team EMF“

“The key to being successful in pursuing a goal is to have a plan, consistency, tracking, motivation, and accountability. He makes it super easy to execute all of the above.“

“I am a primary care physician. 63 years old. I am also a lifelong athlete and sports enthusiast that has had his share of injuries & strains, orthopedic surgeries, etc. Plus I am getting older so things don’t heal as fast, and have some joints with nagging arthritis. So as such, I have both referred patients to, and have been myself to, many physical therapists, chiropractors, osteopathic MDs, orthopedic surgeons, acupuncturists, deep tissue massage therapists, and others over the years. So when one of my osteopathic MD friends suggested I see Yusuf, I just couldn’t understand what he could do that all these others couldn’t do. But I finally went during the summer of 2021 because I had nagging hamstring strain that was not getting better. He was able to rehab that injury back to health. But he did it by focusing less on the injured tendons/muscles, and more on the surrounding muscles and tendons, strengthening those areas, improving pelvic asymmetry and posture, and providing stretching and strengthening exercises. This allows the injured area to heal more rapidly and naturally.

Yusuf was previously an NBA trainer (I believe for ~8yr) who decided to open his own business. But he also has had training and a lot of experience in multiple other disciplines related to sports medicine, rehabbing injuries, and “functional orthopedic biomechanics.” That is sort of my own term, but basically he knows how all the muscles, tendons and joints function and work together, and also how they can be out of sync with one another, thereby either creating new pains/injuries, or exacerbating existing injuries, or preventing the normal healing process. He is able to keenly assess what the problem is very quickly. He has superb knowledge of the musculoskeletal system and its functions. He is able to formulate a plan and will work with you until you no longer need him.

So I will just tell you some of the things he has successfully helped me with: The nagging hamstring strain I mentioned; nagging calf strain; persistent low back pain; medial epicondylitis (golfer’s elbow). I have decreased range of motion of my left shoulder from arthritis, which has limited some of the things I want to do. Through manipulation, stretching and proper muscle strengthening, he has improved my range of motion enough that I can do some things I was not able to do, and to improve my ability to lift weights (effectively and safely). I have some arthritis in my left knee that has hampered me. He has helped me strengthen my leg and core so my knee causes me less problems. He even helped train me to get in better shape and function better as a beginner/intermediate kiteboarder.

I believe Yusuf is not just for the athlete. If you are someone who has a persistent musculoskeletal pain that just won’t get better, or musculoskeletal problems that cause you functional limitations, it is probably worth seeing Yusuf to see if he can help. I highly recommend him!

“John Sherman - Physical Therapist and Personal Trainer

After 12 weeks and 24 visits later with John Sherman, I'm better, stronger and more physically capable.

When I first met John, I was in pain, not sleeping well and felt so tired when I woke up. My spine and muscles were so twisted, tight and inflamed, I had trouble walking, standing, sleeping, etc. I'm thankful for my time with him and I'm thrilled with the outcome.

John being a physical therapist and personal trainer was just what I needed. He's a professional and will take great care of you.“

“Just had my first session with Rich. Blown away by his knowledge and approach. The facility is great and the React machine is game changing treatment.Looking forward to making great progress with them in my fitness and injury healing journey.“

“Looks can be deceiving from the outside, but once you get inside you quickly realize that Edge performance is all business. Dan and his team of trainers have figured out several no-nonsense routines to fit every level of fitness.“

“Very educated on health and wellness. In tuned with her clients and not to mention the meal preparations too. Not you regular commercial gyms. So expected a great workout every time.“

“I found Advanced Therapeutics when I was searching for pain relief massage. Jeff is absolutely wonderful. His knowledge of anatomy and function makes the massage very productive. He finds the root cause of the pain that radiates where I feel it. I feel so much better after the massage. I decided to try yoga with Theresa. I've done yoga in the past but always in classes. The time and attention she gives in one on one yoga is amazing. She addresses issues that I didn't even know I had. She is always making sure that I don't get hurt and still get a great workout. I have massages from Theresa where she learns more about my body to make yoga more effective and makes me feel great. It is always soothing and relaxing. She has a great touch. Both Jeff and Theresa are great people and dedicated to their craft and clients. I always look forward to our sessions.“

“The work outs are a lot harder than one would think. Love the availability and structure of the program.“
