Top-Notch Gym Experience at Core 24
Core 24 is not just your average gym—it's a fitness haven nestled near uptown that offers an unparalleled workout experience. From the moment you step through the sleek black marble entrance, you're transported into a world of fitness luxury that feels reminiscent of a New York nightclub, adorned with Banksy-inspired artwork and illuminated by a captivating lighting system. And let's not forget the striking golden statue of none other than Arnold Schwarzenegger himself, setting the tone for an epic workout ahead.
One of the standout features of Core 24 is undoubtedly its impressive array of top-of-the-line gym equipment. With brands like Arsenal, Rogue, and Atlantis, you can rest assured that you're working out with the best of the best. Say goodbye to run-of-the-mill equipment—here, every lift, press, and pull is optimized for maximum effectiveness and performance. It's a gym enthusiast's dream come true.
The atmosphere at Core 24 is vibrant and youthful, catering to the influencer crowd with its trendy vibe. While it may not be everyone's cup of tea, the ambiance adds a unique energy to the space that's hard to find elsewhere. However, one minor gripe is the music volume, which can sometimes border on the obnoxious side. While some may thrive on the high-energy beats, others may prefer the option to tune into their own playlists.
Facilities-wise, Core 24 doesn't disappoint. The bathrooms are impeccably clean, and the changing rooms offer a convenient space for pre and post-workout routines, complete with flattering lighting for those impromptu photo ops. Plus, the absence of a contract means you have the flexibility to come and go as you please, with just 30 days' notice required to cancel your membership.
Sure, the $125 monthly fee may seem steep to some, but when you consider the caliber of equipment and the boutique experience you're getting, it's well worth the investment. And compared to other gyms like Life Time, where you're shelling out $220 a month, Core 24 offers exceptional value for money.
Of course, there's always room for improvement. Adding amenities like a sauna, cold plunge, and hot tub would elevate the experience even further, along with a dedicated stretch area for post-workout recovery. And while the strength training equipment is top-notch, the cardio section could use a bit of an upgrade to match.
In conclusion, Core 24 is a gym aficionado's paradise. With its unbeatable equipment, chic ambiance, and commitment to excellence, it's no wonder why I'm seriously considering making the switch from Life Time. If you're ready to take your workout to the next level, look no further...
Read morePros- GREAT EQUIPMENT. They have some really cool stuff in here you wont find at your everyday big box gyms. A lot of very cool atlantic/arsenal machines. COOL ENVIRONMENT - Pretty neat set up, PEOPLE - most folks in there are not new to the gym, everyone is friendly including the staff. Its not crowded due to the price LOCALS can try it for one day for free.
CONS - Price, as someone who has trained at Quads/Bev Francis/Armbrust pro gym/and many Golds throughout the USA the price absolutely absurd. You are not directly in downtown, your in strip mall on the outskirts of downtown. You are charging 2x as much as quads in chicago which has 3 floors and 10x the equipment. I get it, it is to keep the riff raff out but 1600 for a year is absolutely ridiculous and a COMPLETE money grab for the owner. His overhead is not anywhere near that. One staff member on and THEY ARE NOT EVEN 24 hours. DROP THE PRICE - Crush it colliseum in statesville is half as expensive 4x as big and this place is NOTHING compared to Doug Millers gym in statesville(which is opening another location soon in mooresville) Only two staff members and small so his overhead does not warrant the 125$ a month price tag. MUSIC - I would never join due to the music. WAY WAY WAY too loud. Its 2024 people dont want to listen to your music and you will litterally go deaf trying to drown out the loud rap music the owner MAKES you listen to. 80% of the members hate the loud music. Someone is probably gonna sue for hearing impairment SIZE - its small so if it got busy during peak hours that could be an issue. They have 1...
Read moreI’ve been a member since April 1. This is the best gym I’ve ever been a member of. And I’ve been to many, from 24 hour fitness and Metroflex in CA to the fancy racquet ball club in my hometown and the Dowd and Hive and Fitness Factory here in Charlotte. This place hits the perfect balance of luxury and hardcore gym, in my opinion. It’s a clean gym, very clean, but the equipment is perfect (I’ve found usually the cleaner the gym, the lamer the equipment). The Oasis really elevates the value, to the point where $125 feels more than reasonable. I’ve been more consistent these past few months than I have in years, thanks in part to how much I love the time I spend in this gym. People are...
