Five Rings Strength & Conditioning — Local services in Charlotte

I live in Raleigh but I have to be in Charlotte once a week for work. As a competitive weightlifter, they really are the best gym in the area. They have everything I need, regulation training bars and bumpers, lined platforms, pull blocks, jerk blocks, and mobile squat racks (which is really convenient). They have everything CrossFitters need as well, so I've used some of their equipment to do my rehab and accessory work. I love the colors and samurai theme, and the mural outside is probably one of the coolest you'll see in the NoDa area if you walk around. I've been to some weightlifting gyms where everyone is on their own platform, wearing headphones, and no one talks. But I've never felt unwelcome here - tons of laughing and encouragement. Definitely found my home away from home as far as gyms go. Oh yeah, they also invited me out for a beer right across the street when they closed up....

Since joining five rings I have not seen or experienced anything other than amazing leadership, comradery, and support from the coaches and members alike. The spirit and grit that is shown in all facets of of this business is one of a kind. The environment they have created has shown such backbone during this time of adversity, they way they handle it makes you want to be a part of it. Seeing how assiduous and raw the coaches are during this time has been one of the positives to come from this, it makes me want to stay involved.
