PRIDE Conditioning - Gym — Local services in Charlotte

I've tried CrossFit in the past and loved it. When I moved away, I lost quite a bit of ground with my fitness (not that it was all that great to begin with). So I shopped around and found that PRIDE is very similar, with a focus on Athletic Conditioning. For less of the cost, I feel that I'm getting a "CrossFit" experience. I would recommend signing up for a year to get the best price/month. The class options are varied, which makes getting in your workouts easier. I'm not an avid athlete by any means, so having options to keep me interested is important. My favorite class is kickboxing, because who doesn't like to punch and kick stuff. With any class, I leave drenched and exhausted (like I've done something). If you're looking for a light cardio workout in a new, air-conditioned gym, this isn't it. The gym is equipped with ski and row machines, stationary bikes, kettle bells, hand weights, weight bars, jump ropes, boxing gloves and towels. You can also purchase water if you need it. There is a spot here for the most fit of warriors and the beginner (or alumni looking to get back at it). I also see couples and singles of all ages at this gym. Great little gym in the heart of Plaza Midwood behind Harris Teeter....

Been working out in Charlotte for 10 years. I've been to at least 30 different gyms from the Y to crossfit and many places in between. I was a certified strength and conditioning coach, personal trainer, and I have a degree in Sports Medicine. It took me a long time to find Pride Conditioning, but I'm never leaving. The place is low maintenance. It's not a spa, it's a gym. You pull right up to a parking spot, you walk in, throw down your stuff, and you make the magic happen. It's the best of both worlds- motivation of a group, but lots of personal attention. Creative workouts including everything from tractor tires, sledge hammers, gymnastic rings, speed ladders, medicine balls, and of course the basics. You work hard and you go home having accomplished something you never knew you could do. That's it. It's a no BS atmosphere where you come as you are and you meet cool people because those are the kind of people that appreciate a place like this. The owners are good solid people who love what they do, lead by example, and are extremely knowledgeable. Pride is not a fad. It's functional fitness (Added Bonus: colorful commentary from Doug and pretty...

Up 20lbs and going (2023- current). Def the most rewarding journey yet. Moved this way from SoCal and found myself mentally lost. Figured since I'm a 115lb street hockey player, how hard could it be putting in work at the gym? Nope. Didn't realize how weak I was, couldn't do a single pushup. For about 9 months, got in at 6am with some fellow gym-mates and Coach Doug put us TO WORK. From Sept to Dec, I was finally able to do my first sets of push-ups. The end of 2024, did my first competition hosted at the gym with the help of Coach Doug & Coach Lindsey. Hit PRs I didn't think I'd ever make from my first year of training. Coming into 2025, I'm more confident in myself than ever, & weighting a solid 135lbs. Coaches got me on a more personalized schedule and I have THE HOTTEST pumps. These guys have adopted me into their family and I'm grateful I've found a home away from home. Best of all, they don't ever give me a reason of why I should quit. Whenever hesitation creeps onto my face, they just stare me down and say "NO, YOU GOT THIS". Whatever Goals you have for yourself, they make it their priority too. This gym really has it all....
