My Fitness World — Local services in Charlotte

I am the survivor of five knee surgeries which left me in poor physical shape. I cannot praise Shelby Miller enough for the difference she has made in my life. I tried working out on my own, but like many others, my intentions did not match my needs. Furthermore, most of the exercises I attempted seemed to hurt more than help. Therefore, I decided to get a trainer for a few sessions to assist me. It’s now several years later and it was the best decision I ever made for my health!

Having a trainer means you set an appointment, which actually gets more people to the gym than vague personal promises. It also means having someone to watch your form, and modify exercises for you. There were many exercises unsuited to my situation, but Shelby always worked around my needs and found ways to work those muscles in different ways. That is just one of the advantages of working with someone who is a certified trainer, not merely an instructor.

It has been great to show up and workout with concerns of injury. Furthermore, I do not need to think about the workout at all. Shelby tracks the muscle groups to be worked, the weights and the reps. The only things needed from me is to show up and make the effort!

I would encourage anyone struggling to workout to get a trainer. And if you are in the Charlotte area, I would HIGHLY recommend Shelby Miller and the other folks at My Fitness World. I have seen a diverse group of people working out there and know they cater to all fitness levels and ages. It is decision you...

I decided to start looking for a personal trainer about 18 months ago because I wanted to get stronger. I have a desk job and wanted to maintain and increase my strength. I found My Fitness World via Google and was set up with Brent as my trainer. All I can say is that the personal training experience at My Fitness World has far exceeded my expectations. Brent is a fantastic trainer that takes time to explain what we are doing and why. He also is very encouraging. I would recommend Brent to anyone that wants someone who will help them meet their goals in a friendly, encouraging manner. Also, the facility is always clean and well kept. Brian is the owner and he always speaks and checks on how things are going. I wish I would have found My Fitness World years ago. This experience is so much better than the feeling you get in the "big box" gyms where everyone is working out together. The individual attention is worth it. If you train here you will not be...

I have been a client of My Fitness World since it opened, and have trained with Shelby Miller for more than five years. My Fitness World is a wonderful boutique studio: extremely clean, well-maintained, aesthetically pleasing, and never overcrowded due to the nature of their personal training focus.

Trainers and fellow workout clients are polite and friendly, and the overall atmosphere is a positive one (especially for people like me who don't appear to be a "gym rat" and have a lot of learning to do regarding machines, workouts, kinesiology, etc.). Perhaps most importantly, their trainers are fantastic. I call Shelby "the thinking man's trainer," because she takes a great deal of time to get to know you, your focus areas, and offers a lot of explanation about your exercise and eating routines. Completely non-judgmental with safety and long-term well-being a first priority. Plus, the workouts are fun, engaging,...
