Ultimate CrossFit — Attraction in Charlotte

I’m visiting my sister from out of town and decided to join her at her gym this morning for her usual 7am class. We arrived to a friendly and welcoming environment, clean and spacious, populated by regulars whose visibly strong bodies incite both encouragement and the subtlest of healthy fears, because they make you realize the task before you will be hard. I, demonstrably out of shape and never before having done CrossFit, tried to back out and said I’d just watch. Of course I didn’t get away with that and was instead introduced to the morning’s coach, Ben. Ben was warm, observant, and legibly explanatory. He went over the morning workout and asked me if I had any questions. When I said I had too many to even know where to start, he said he would help. And he did.

I’m a cut up and so was she, but never lost focus on my form and safety. We went through the workout and it was a killer. But the members pushed and motivated me through the whole thing. The equipment was well kept and the facilities was very clean. I can tell the owners have a lot of pride in what they do due to the all around presentation and professionalism. I’ll...

I tried Crossfit at another facility in Charlotte years ago, but I didn't feel like I was "at home" until I found Ultimate Crossfit. I've been a member at Ultimate for almost four years now, and I can't imagine going anywhere else. The trainers sincerely care about each members fitness goals, whether they want to compete or just get in an amazing workout, and they will go above and beyond to help you get there. The group class and open gym schedules are quite expansive and there are so many different program options with Olympic lifting, endurance and boot camp classes being offered as well. No matter what your preferences you will be able to find a time that works for you. I can't say enough good things about Ultimate and I recommend it to anyone who is looking for a great...
