MADabolic Elizabeth — Local services in Charlotte

Just passed my 25 class mark, and this gym hits different. I was a regular at another HIIT gym in town and tried out MADabolic on a whim. Four things that keep me coming back: (1) The coaches are actually coaching and not posting Instagram reels. You will need it - the weights are heavy with a lot of overhead lifting and athletic moves. (2) The heavy bag is AWESOME for relieving stress - my arms, back, shoulders have never been stronger. (3) The heavy weights are always out - not collecting dust on the racks. Putting them on the floor provides that extra psychological motivation for the group to work harder. (4) The exercises are athletic (Turkish tripods!). While it might seem like doing 5 exercises is not enough, I'm amazed at the full body workout every time. My apple watch reports that I'm consistently 100+ calories burned over my prior HIIT gym. ...

I have absolutely loved MAD since joining in 2022. The trainers are incredibly knowledgeable and welcoming and the way they've programmed their training has helped me add a ton of strength. The variety of workouts and various lifts across the 5 stations keep it super interesting and I enjoy the balance of cardio, calisthenics, kettlebells, dumbbells, and of course the punching bag.

I would recommend MAD to everyone - no matter where you are on your fitness journey (novice, intermediate, advanced, expert), you have a place here and will be encouraged to continue to better yourself.

Side notes - the gym is always super clean, the sound system and music is always bumping, and having access to three gyms around the city (Elizabeth, NoDa, & South End) is super convenient....

Madabolic in Elizabeth is hands down the best place for serious group fitness in Charlotte! The energy here is unmatched, and the workouts are designed to push you to your limits in the best way possible.

I have to give a special shoutout to Jay, one of the trainers, who is absolutely incredible. His classes are always high-energy, and he has a way of motivating you to give it your all. What really sets Jay apart is his attention to detail—he provides careful instruction to ensure your form is perfect, which not only helps you get the most out of the workout but also keeps you safe from injury.
