CrossFit^® Mountain Island

Fantastic experience: Great program! Everyone is super nice and they help you out getting started. It's way better then a typical gym, coaches are there to keep you going. It's aqesome!!!

Fantastic experience: Great workouts and great community.

Fantastic experience: CFMI is amazing! From the moment you walk in the door you are treated like you’ve been part of the family! I’ve had some not so good experiences with other CrossFit locations. But at CrossFit MI the coaches actually take the time and train you and correct your form so you dont get hurt.. Hands down, this is the best CrossFit location I’ve been to!! Coty and Noelle, y’all rock!!!

Fantastic experience: FIVE STARS to CrossFit Mountain Island! I am almost 65 years old and I love working out at CFMI. They all make me feel welcome. The coaches modify each day's workout for me. The atmosphere is relaxed and fun. I look forward to going every day. Don't be intimidated by "crossfit." It's a great way to build strength and confidence. Even at my age - LOL!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training at CrossFit Mountain Island for just over a month now, and I can already feel and see a difference! Not only am I getting stronger every week, but I’m also shedding pounds and feeling more energized than before. The progress I’ve made in such a short time is incredible, and I couldn’t be happier with my results. The trainers here are absolutely amazing. They’re knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely care about helping you reach your goals. They provide personalized guidance and ensure you’re performing each movement safely and effectively. Whether you're a beginner or more experienced, they meet you where you’re at and always push you to do your best. Big shoutout to Coach Coty, Stephanie, and Alejandro - you all are incredible! If you’re looking for a gym with an amazing community and awesome trainers who will help you get results, I highly recommed this gym. It's been a game-changer for me, and I can't wait to see how much further I can go!

Fantastic experience: My wife and I love coming to this gym. The culture is great. The coaches and people are all welcoming and really push for you to reach your goals.

Fantastic experience: Dropped in for Friday and Saturday class. Very clean and organized gym. The people were awesome, and the owners were even better. Programming is excellent. I'm always looking for the hardest programming in gyms, and the Friday class was up there! I will be coming back to this gym when I'm back in town!

Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a gym where you will be challenged, supported, hold accountable, and feel seen, this is it! I have been a member for over a year. My only regret is not signing up sooner.

Fantastic experience: I love the team of very professional and motivating trainers. They teach you everything you need to do your exercises well and they make you feel part of the family.

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Mountain Island is a truly fantastic gym, which attentive and helpful coaches and a supportive community atmosphere. CrossFit has a reputation for injuries, and I chose CrossFit Mountain Island specifically because of the steps they take to make classes safe, accessible, and appropriately challenging. Everyone cheers you on, and every move can be modified to make sure you get the workout that benefits you the most.

Fantastic experience: My wife has been going to this gym for almost 3 years. She loves going there. The times I've gone to watch her & support her, everyone has been courteous and it's been a great experience. She's accomplishing what she has set out to do, which is to get in shape, get healthier, and get stronger. She loves telling me all about her workouts, accomplishments, & gym buddies when she comes home. She loves the ongoing support she gets from the members & especially form Coty & Noelle, the gym owners. It's continues to be an all around great experience for her!

Fantastic experience: Great gym, great members, great coaches, and great owners. CF Mountain Island is a great community of people that encourage you to improve on yourself daily. The owners do a great job at fostering the community and creating programming that keeps the body guessing.

Negative experience: Really CHEAP & old gym equipment while being one of the most expensive CrossFit gyms in the Charlotte area, the workouts weren’t challenging at all for the money you’re paying!

Fantastic experience: Coty, Noelle, the other trainers, and members have been extremely helpful and welcoming! Everyone is patient and focused on allowing you to learn at your own pace while encouraging you to safely challenge yourself. As someone with no previous lifting experience, I highly recommend joining this location to help you achieve your goals!

Fantastic experience: The owners, Coty & Noelle, are not only experienced trainers but also passionate educators. They take the time to explain each movement in detail, ensuring everyone understands the mechanics and benefits behind every exercise. This attention to form and technique has not only improved my performance but also prevented injuries. Beyond their expertise, Coty & Noelle genuinely care about each member. They tailor workouts to individual abilities and goals, offering personalized advice and modifications when needed. This level of personal attention creates a supportive and motivating atmosphere where everyone feels valued and challenged. If you're looking for a place where owners care deeply about your progress, where you'll receive top-notch coaching, and where you'll be welcomed into a supportive community, look no further!

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Mountain Island is an incredibly supportive community with great coaches. As someone who is relatively new to CrossFit, I’ve greatly appreciated the approach they take to ensuring every athlete is met at their current level of fitness and made to feel comfortable, while still promoting and encouraging growth. I highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic atmosphere. Wonderful people and wondeful training. The coaches have created a welcoming and encouraging culture that is positively motivating. The coaches are fantastic. They are attentive, motivational and supportive.

Fantastic experience: I have been so impressed with CrossFit Mountain Island since the moment I walked through the door. The facility is top notch, and the coaches are kind, competent and so knowledgeable. I have been part of many gyms/CrossFit boxes and have yet to experience one like this from the coaches to fellow athletes. I highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Incredibly supportive, encouraging, and family-friendly atmosphere!

Fantastic experience: Joining CFMI was one of the best decisions I've ever made; I was so nervous at first, but Noelle made me feel welcome and comfortable from the first time!! Coaches are knowledgeable, friendly, and patient; they always take the time to explain workouts and correct you if necessary. I'm happy that I joined this gym.

Fantastic experience: The coaches are very helpful and informative! All of the members make you feel welcome and included. I really enjoy everyone here

Fantastic experience: I have been wanting to get back in shape for about 5 years now after multiple shoulder surgeries due to overdoing it in sports when younger. I decided to join CrossFit Mountain Island and have no regrets!! The coaches and members are SO welcoming and they take extra care to make sure I don’t get injured, which is awesome. I had reservations about joining CrossFit in general since I heard about so many injuries at other locations, but CFMI goes above and beyond to make sure you don’t overdo it! ❤️

Fantastic experience: I’ve had gym memberships, martial arts training, and have gone through other programs before. I was pretty much over gyms. Or so I thought. I was talked into giving CrossFit Mountain Island a try. I admittedly was skeptical of the CrossFit community and some of the exercises. However, that skepticism went away upon my first class. The level of coaching, direction, and encouragement are amazing. The coaches really know their craft and work with you where you are to help you succeed on your fitness journey. The community is embracing and supportive and I look forward to each class session. I can’t say enough about how this gym has helped change my view on working out and CrossFit. Don’t take my word for it though… Book a class and come and see for yourself!

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend CrossFit Mountain Island. I joined this gym three years ago. As I started exercising again, I curiously wondered why other members chose CrossFit, and also “Why do they stay?” I found each member has their own story and journey. My journey was focused on getting my health back and getting relief from the stresses of work. As a result of joining this gym, I can share that I have completely reversed my medical markers and found my reprieve from the stresses of life. Now to the answer to the question of “ Why people stay at this gym?” It comes down to Culture, Coaches, and Community. This gym uses the level method, which evaluates where you are from a fitness level but also helps you visualize where you are going. This system helps the coaches support you throughout your workouts. The owners (Coty and Noelle) are incredible people and they along with their coaches (Megan, Lindsey, & Alejandro) are ALL IN on you and your goals! Finally, the Community is special, where you spend time and create memories with folks that end up becoming dear friends. If you are looking for a gym that will fully support you with your fitness journey while being part of a wonderful community, I recommend trying this gym. This place might even change your life, it certainly did mine.

Fantastic experience: Excellent staff and facility. Workouts are fun and challenging and are adjusted based on your abilities. I haven't been in this good of shape since my college football days and that was 25 years ago.

Fantastic experience: Where to even begin...the ownership and coaching team at CrossFit Mountain Island are amazing. You'll be warmly greeted when you walk in the door, then provided with a tailored and challenging workout. I came in with high expectations and those were quickly surpassed. The initial reason for coming in was to recover strength after a minor shoulder surgery. I've worked with high performing coaches before, and this team is top notch. The attention to detail and help during the workouts are incredible...little hints and small adjustments to ensure my form is safe and I'm staying healthy. This is way more than a gym...its a community. If you want more than just getting sweaty, stop by and find out what kind of program makes sense. My wife and I come here multiple times weekly and are thrilled to have this incredible group in our lives!

Fantastic experience: Great community!! Love the people here.❤️

Fantastic experience: Solid gym open to all levels. Consistent programming, good coaches, conveniently located.

Fantastic experience: Joined CrossFit Mountain Island over 4 years ago. The community here is like nothing I’ve ever seen. People from all different walks of life coming together to support and encourage each other to be their best everyday.

Fantastic experience: CFMI has been so welcoming since day 1. I can’t think of a better review than it giving me a home-like feel. Thanks coaches!

Fantastic experience: I have truly enjoyed my time at CFMI. The owners and coaches care about you as a person and your success in health and fitness. I highly recommend checking it out if you're looking for a gym with a great community and programming that is tailored specifically to your level of fitness.

Fantastic experience: CrossFit mountain island is the best place to workout. I highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I started CrossFit back in the winter of 2021 and I'm still here after over 2 years! I've made great friends and found a supportive community. The coaches are fantastic, caring about your health and well-being, and they work with you to challenge yourself and reach your goals.

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Mountain Island has been exactly what I needed to get back into fitness, and actually enjoy it. I was a little intimidated at first, but this gym has such a welcoming and supportive community that I never felt out of place. The coaches are knowledgeable, encouraging, and great at scaling workouts to meet you where you are. They push you to improve without making you feel like you have to be the strongest or fastest in the room. The programming is challenging but fun, and the energy in the gym is always positive. If you’re looking for a place that will help you get stronger, feel more confident, and actually want to work out, this is it. Couldn’t recommend it more!

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend this gym more!! It is my home away from home. The community of members is by far the best group of people!! Yes, the workouts are tough at times but with the Level Method, no matter your fitness level you will be able to complete the workout and be amazed at what you can accomplish. Coty, Noelle, Megan, Lindsay and Alejandro are knowledgeable and willing to help with whatever your fitness or nutrition goals may be. You will not regret walking thru the doors!

Fantastic experience: I started going to CrossFit Mountain Island a few years ago… and I love it :) this gym has been with me through a lot of challenges and celebrations and coaches and friends have become more like family. CrossFit isn’t scary and this gym makes it so!

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Mountain Island is an incredible location to get physically and mentally challenged. The coaching staff including Coty, Noelle, Megan, Lindsay, and Alejandro are amazing and make sure you are performing to your true potential. Their training abilities allow you to set the bar high with your personal goals and achieve those set goals with ease. I come away from every workout with a sense of accomplishment and a renewed inner desire to push myself further. Thank you everyone for making me the best version of myself. Finding this gym has been a true blessing in my life.

Fantastic experience: Where do I start when it comes to CrossFit Mountain Island. I could begin by saying it feels like home. I could also say I have never been so physically pushed and mentally challenged. I could say the level of care and guidance each coach offers is a true testament to the core values of this gym. Speaking from experience Coty and Noelle, Megan, Lindsay, and Alejandro are a one of a kind team and are the best of the best. Only time will be able to completely tell the level of gratitude I have to the team and what they are accomplishing.

Fantastic experience: I moved to Charlotte this time last year. I was looking for a gym and found CrossFit Mountain Island. This was my first time trying CrossFit and I felt a little intimidated, but once I met the owners, Coty and Noelle, they assured me that I could work at a level that was commiserate with my physical ability. All the instructors are very knowledgable and attentive. They are excellent at breaking down complex movements in order to teach them to all the members, regardless of their skill level. I consider them my crossfit family. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I am Obsessed!! Literally my favorite place to be. The coaches are amazing and the atmosphere of the gym is like no other.

Fantastic experience: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I have been a proud member of CrossFit Mountain Island for a year and a half now, and I can confidently say that this gym has truly transformed my life. The community, the workouts, and the coaches have all played a significant role in my fitness journey. Coty, Noelle, Megan, Lindsay, and Alejandro are all fantastic coaches who bring their unique expertise and energy to every class. They create a supportive and motivating environment that encourages me to give my all during each workout. The sense of camaraderie and support among members is second to none. The variety of workouts keeps me engaged and motivated, and I have seen significant improvements in my strength, endurance, and overall fitness levels. I am grateful to be a part of the CrossFit Mountain Island community and would highly recommend this gym to anyone looking to challenge themselves, grow stronger, and be a part of an incredible fitness family. Thank you to all the coaches and staff for your dedication and passion for helping us achieve our goals!

Fantastic experience: Great gym, better community! I have belonged here since 2019. Honestly, this gym got me through the pandemic and still serves as a mental break for me to get away from the stresses of work and life. The coaches are fantastic and are always willing to help you reach your fitness goals. i have also made a ton of friends here with similar interests. Don’t be intimidated by CrossFit, it can be tailored for anyone. Give it a try!

Fantastic experience: I joined CrossFit Mountain Island two years ago after bouncing from CrossFit gym to CrossFit gym over the years and can honestly say I have finally found my second home. You will be treated like family here no matter your level of athlete. The coaches welcome you by name as you walk through the door and honestly take the time to get to know you, care about you and help you meet your goals. I can’t say enough positive things about the gym, coaches and the other athletes!

Fantastic experience: I have been going to CFMI for about 2 1/2 years now. When I walked in the door for the first time I was nervous to get back into fitness. It wasn’t long before I realized I found the perfect place for what I needed. The owners and members were all so welcoming and helpful. Every workout is based on where you currently are in your fitness journey so it does not matter if you can’t do a certain movement. The coaches are excellent on knowing you personally and know when to push you in certain areas and will help with anything you want to work on. They celebrate your achievements as if they are their own. CFMI has forever changed the way I view fitness and now look forward to going to classes instead of dreading working out.

Fantastic experience: I have been at CrossFit mountain island for about a year now. I am so happy I found it just searching on the internet for a personal trainer. I did my consultation and immediately knew I wanted to try it. I decided to join and do the classes instead. Coaches are all so nice and patient and even though it was a bit intimidating at first, learning all the excersices and terminology, they always took the time to explain everything. Owners are amazing and truly care about your success. You are always greeted by them as soon as you walk in the door. I am so glad I made the decision to join the CFMI family.

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Mountain Island rocks! I switched gyms a little over a year ago to CFMI and it changed my life. The coaches and members feel like a second family!

Fantastic experience: Love working out here in a supportive safe place!

Fantastic experience: I joined this gym 9 months ago and have been extremely happy. CrossFit was not on my radar when I was looking for a new gym. A friend invited me to try it out and I was very impressed with the positive atmosphere. I decided to give it a try and am very glad I joined. I spent the first few months just doing personal training sessions and then joined the group classes. I have worked extensively with all of the coaches and they are very knowledgeable and helpful. I have had years of back and joint pain due to my age and was concerned CrossFit would be too intense for me. The coaches have all done a great job with teaching me how to avoid injuries and increase my strength. My pain has greatly improved since I joined and continues to get better. For me, it is the outstanding owners, staff and members that make this gym so special.

Fantastic experience: I love this gym! I’ve been coming here for a few months now, and have been a regular gym-goer for over a decade. Before becoming a member, I was always very wary of CrossFit; like most people, I heard horror stories of injuries and was put off by its emphasis on explosive strength exercises. I was completely wrong. While there is a significance assigned to being explosive, it’s all functional, and more importantly, very safe. The coaches are constantly walking around, inspecting your form, whether you’re a newcomer or seasoned veteran. They’re big on adjustments, highly encouraging, and quick to tell you when a movement was a fail so that you don’t keep attempting it with improper form and potentially hurt yourself. It’s a fun and functional workout with safety top of mind, and fun a close second. Aside from the coaches’ expertise, the gym also offers monthly/ quarterly check-ins where you can set goals and quantifiably measure your progress with an in-body scan. This is great because you can actually see how much bone density and muscle mass you’ve gained as well as how much body fat you’ve lost. Update: still here, still loving it. No matter your fitness level or background, I think this gym is the best place to be.

Fantastic experience: Joining this gym is one of the best decisions i’ve made. I was getting close to turning 40 & decided it was time to make a lifestyle change. I needed help with both exercise & nutrition. It was overwhelming because of the CrossFit name but the hardest part was walking through the door. I’ve been a member for 3 years which speaks volumes about the coaches & other members. Everyone is welcoming & encouraging no matter what your athletic ability is. The workouts are scaled in the app to your athletic ability to make it less intimidating. The coaches are also knowledgeable who are there to answer questions & correct form. I highly recommend this gym no matter where you’re at on your fitness journey! Update: I’m still a member & had 250 check ins for 2023. Also just hit 500 classes since joining. Looking forward to hitting 1000 classes & seeing more positive changes.

Fantastic experience: Just joined in September of 2023 and it has been an incredible experience. First time getting into CrossFit, and the system they have makes it easy and inviting to move at your own pace! Excited to be a part of this gym for years to come.

Fantastic experience: CFMI is my “home away from home”. The programming is challenging, but always fun. The level method allows for all levels of fitness so you can challenge yourself every day. Coaches Coty, Noelle, Lindsay, and Megan do a fantastic job of teaching proper form and tweaking workouts when necessary. The sense of community in this gym is second to none. Everyone is encouraging and supportive. There is not a day that goes by that I’m not excited to walk through the doors and get a good sweat in with friends. I am thankful for everyone that has a part in this gym. Walking through the doors 10 months ago has truly been life changing! Edit: Hit the 1 year mark at the beginning of the year and I am still loving everything about this gym. Can’t wait to see where the next year takes me!

Fantastic experience: First time CrossFit guy here and just finished my first month, and I'm here to stay! CrossFit as a whole has an amazing community that I have gotten to see and be a part of for just a short time but it is amazing to see how accepting it is of any athletic level and the attention to detail and scalable workouts to build up to what each person is capable of. The trainers at CrossFit Mountain Island pay close detail to form, which is great for a beginner like me who had both existing conditions that make some workouts more difficult and preconceived ideas that some workouts were just "bad for you." With their help and detailed answers to any and all questions, taboos or myths get confidently dispelled. Truly an amazing gym and highly recommend for any person of any athletic level to tryout! Update: Still loving it a year later!

Negative experience: Edit: Removed 2 more stars since they responded to this review saying they would reach out, and never did. Overall pretty good experience! The owners and coaches are friendly and personable, and I always had a great workout each class. Unfortunately, I will not be returning - I left feeling taken advantage of, and removed 2 stars from my review for the following reason: **Be aware that even if you register/pay for only 1 month, you have to complete a specific online cancellation form 4 weeks prior to cancelling, or else you are consenting to be billed for another month- which means if you just want to try it out for a month (like I did), you need to complete the online cancellation form the same day that you register/pay for 1 month!!** I signed up and paid for 1 month and was under the impression that I would not be billed for additional months nor under any ongoing contract. However, after I approached the end of my 1 month and thanked one of the owners for the experience, I was told I hadn't completed the online cancellation form 4 weeks prior, and therefore would be billed for a 2nd month. I was then texted a link to the online cancellation form, along with a photo of a contract I signed agreeing to the 4 week cancellation policy, so I know that they were legally in-bounds to charge me for a 2nd month next week… and then they charged my credit card. Though, I did respond that I wasn't aware I had to complete this online cancellation form and that this was a major inconvenience for me. I obviously/unfortunately didn't read the forms on the laptop in their office closely enough before signing when I initially met with them to sign up/pay for 1 month (major lesson learned for me). My plan was to try some other gyms, and maybe come back after a couple months depending on what best fits me, but, after the way this major miscommunication was handled, I won't be returning. In conclusion: Definitely worth trying this gym out- Thad an overall more positive than negative experience. However, I recommend asking for a copy of their forms to review closely (or just take your time reading them) before signing.

Fantastic experience: I cannot sing the praises of CrossFit Mountain Island loud enough! I absolutely adore the owners, Coty & Noelle, they’re like family now. They are passionate, knowledgeable, and are there to support you always. Coaches Lindsay and Megan are awesome too!! I’ve gained muscle, lost fat, increased my endurance. I love the workouts, I definitely never get bored like I used to at a regular gym. I always look forward to going! Its a community of folks that support you every step of the way like nothing I’ve experienced before! Thank you Crossfit Mtn Island!!❤️ **UPDATE!** 2024! I’m 58 & still here & lovin Crossfit Mt Island! CrossFit is for ALL ages, and this gym is so welcoming and supportive!❤️ One of the best things I ever did for my overall wellness! **

Fantastic experience: Welcoming workout community to all. Everyone is encouraging to each other regardless of what level of exercise ability you are at or age.

Fantastic experience: Excellent and welcoming community. Top notch programming that will make you more fit, healthier, and leave you walking out of the gym feeling accomplished. 12 month later edit: 250 classes later, still loving it!

Fantastic experience: Couldn’t recommend this gym more for all levels. They’ll meet you halfway if you put in the work, and it’s a fantastic place to put in the work. CFMI isn't what I expected a CrossFit gym to be. Everything from the programming to the sense of community fosters growth and connection. Join. You absolutely will not regret it! Update: I’m close to hitting my two year mark at this gym and still love it. There was a short window where I wanted to quit for personal reasons and they walked me through the process and made it super clear what to expect. As my last day got closer, though, I realized how much my mental and physical wellbeing was impacted by this community. I stuck with it and am so happy I did. You get out of it what you put in, and there’s no other place I’d rather do that than here.

Fantastic experience: This is one of the best gyms in town. The owners and coaches are knowledgeable and skilled, truly a diamond in the rough. They want to see everyone succeed and grow both physically and mentally. 10/10.

Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a gym that offers a personalized experience - this is the right place. Josh Hoke and his staff evaluate your current fitness level and then work with you to determine the best approach to achieve your fitness goals. Unlike other crossfit locations, this one focuses on safety and form first! This prevents injuries and also allows you be consistent with your attendance. The customer base varies in fitness level and all newcomers are welcome. The best way to evaluate a gym or box is not based on a review but to attend. Contact them for a intro class and it is easy to see why the membership has steadily grown since their opening.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend CrossFit Mountain Island - the coaches do an excellent job at pushing athletes to become stronger through great instruction, proper technique, and WOD planning. The facility is well equipped and easy to get to and the member/athletes are amazing. If you're looking to mix up your workout routine, and you're ready for something that is inexplicably fun (but extremely challenging), try CFMI.

Fantastic experience: I love CFMI! Like at the moment being sick in a fever, the worst part is that I can't go there and do my workout with all these great people -not forgetting to mention our very knowledge coaches. They challenge you but still at your own level. This is a great community and I'm so happy to be part of it.

Fantastic experience: CMFI has a friendly atmosphere that is welcoming no matter what your fitness level. The coaches are knowledgeable and motivating. I've worked out at several CrossFits with a variety of coaches, and Coty is one of the best.

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Mountain Island is the perfect place to workout! The trainers (Josh, Kelly, Jimmy) are not only well educated and certified in all aspects of CrossFit they also provide a motivational, competitive atmosphere that I enjoy when I workout. All the members treat each other like a family which really helps when going through one of the challenging workouts of the day. I've been a member for about 4 months and I look forward to it everyday I attend.

Fantastic experience: Great coaches, great atmosphere, great work out! Get the individual attention and instruction you need as well as the support/motivation of a team at one place. CFMI is for someone at any level of fitness and will also challenge you not matter how fit you are.

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love the atmosphere at Crossfit Mountain Island. Josh and Kelly are two of the most welcoming and knowledgeable coaches you could as for. I can't say enough about their work ethic as owners and coaches and you can really see it spill out through to their members. I can't say enough good things about this place.

Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend CrossFit Mountain Island enough. I was hesitant at first. I’ve never done this kind of workout and I knew absolutely nothing about nutrition, but the coaches made it incredibly easy for me. They modified my workouts, helped me learn techniques to better myself without risk of injury, gave me plenty of guidance on how to make better choices in my eating habits, and always gave me that personal attention during classes I needed. There’s definitely a sense of community within its members and coaches. Everyone is there to help each other succeed and push each other when we need that person behind us. I’ve seen a huge positive change in my mentality and appearance since I starting coming here and I have everyone at CFMI to thank for it.

Fantastic experience: Not Just Crossfit. Safe, Expert, Personal Training. After a long recovery from a couple major surgeries (brain surgery) I had lost a lot of strength and muscle, and confidence I was also now preparing to go into knee replacement surgery and wanted to gain strength and stability going into that for a successful recovery. Thankfully, I had worked with Coty years ago at another gym and knew he was the person to see. Coty has expert precision in creating workouts specifically to maintain safety while building strength and working WITH injuries so I can make progress in smart ways. With expert knowledge, he pinpoints adjustments and educates me on the cause of painful areas and what I can do about it. He is also sincere and passionate in his genuine care--a total professional. Megan is also a fantastic trainer who pays attention to my form while also pushing me to do more than I thought I could. She & Coty also support me with workouts when I'm traveling to help me stay on track. After a few months, I'm already feeling better overall and I'm eager to continue after knee surgery -- making this my second home with a wonderful group of people. It's not just crossfit and it's not like any other crossfit gym!

Fantastic experience: The best crossfit gym ever I just appreciate the full experience not only are you working out your body but your mind and spirit gets stronger in this gym love the values and energy keep it up Mountain Island Family ‍♀️‍♂️‍♀️‍♂️

Fantastic experience: I joined not quite a month ago with my husband. My husband attended years ago and loved it then. When I told him I was interested in doing CrossFit without any hesitation he knew exactly where to go. Coty remembered my husband and was very encouraging about us joining up. His wife Noelle has been an amazing encourager not only in the gym but with our at home eating as well. They’re an amazing power couple that welcomes you with open arms and makes you feel empowered even if you’re nervous. They’re right in the workouts doing them too and are definitely “practicing what they’re preaching” It’s a family friendly environment that is filled with community encouragement. Everyone who comes cheers you on and pushes you through the hard stuff. I can’t wait to see where this experience will take me and my body!

Fantastic experience: The best crossfit gym ever I just appreciate the full experience not only are you working out your body but your mind and spirit gets stronger in this gym love the values and energy keep it up Mountain Island Family ‍♀️‍♂️‍♀️‍♂️

Fantastic experience: I hesitate to post a review because I don’t want people finding out about this special place. I want to keep it to myself. I have never felt so at home in a “gym“ before. I tried CrossFit a few years ago somewhere else and did not enjoy the experience. I think it has a lot to do with who runs the facility and who the coaches are. At Mountain Island these folks are like family. I felt welcome from the minute I walked in. In the weeks that I have been there my life is literally changed for the better. Yes, the health improvements are good, and I’m feeling stronger each day, but what keeps me coming back are the people. They could charge double and I would still pay it. I’m glad I took the chance and walked in. In the year and a half that I’ve been there I have literally transformed my body to that of someone 20 years younger

Fantastic experience: Beginner, intermediate or Pro you will love this place ...from the "vibe" to expertise of the coaches you will love it. I am always looking forward to class sessions. Try and thank me later

Fantastic experience: The coaches here are so knowledgeable and have so many options for scaling the group classes so that it is accessible for any skill level. A true supportive and inclusive community.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality CFMI is just all around amazing. I was nervous when I started almost a year ago but the owners and members helped me feel welcomed. I don't feel alone in my workout journey and they treat you like family. The coaches are very knowledgeable and know how to alter workouts for beginners to pros. I absolutely love it at CFMI

Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a community that has your back and wants to see you succeed, then CrossFit Mountain Island is the place! Owner, Coty, wants you to be your best in life.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality I choose Mountain Island CrossFit because I heard the owners have a vast knowledge in sports injuries and they could help get me back into shape. I have been working out with Coty and Noelle for about 10 month and I am no longer limited by my past injuries. I feel great! Thank you Coty and Noelle!

Fantastic experience: Having let myself get pretty out of shape over the past couple years between a hectic work schedule and then COVID, I was definitely needing to get back into a fitness routine. I took advantage of “bring a friend week”. At the end of the week, I took the plunge and joined. The coaches (also the owners, Coty and Noelle) are great. They provide more than just a place to work out and coach led group workouts. They are committed to each member in helping them get better every step. Classes are more than just a WOD. We are actually coached in technique and form, educated in physiology and guided with nutrition. A level method approach is utilized here that assesses your abilities. Allows you to workout within your abilities and build over time. It is a great way to be your own person and motivation to build, progressing to higher levels as you get stronger at your own pace. The atmosphere of the gym overall is also great. Everyone supports and encounters each other. Members turn into friends. This also extends beyond the walls of the gym itself. Each month there are outside social gatherings and community involvements. This gym becomes more than just a gym.

Fantastic experience: I have joined crossfit mountain island few weeks back and already love their programming, coaching and how they keep members engaged. They have recently started with new level method which test our levels in different crossfit movements. This is very insightful since we know where stand in terms of weakness and strength. I’m excited for my fitness journey here and see myself grow stronger, better. Noelle and Coty are great coaches and can always reach out to them if you have questions or need help. I highly recommend this gym and wish only good things to come for the gym and community.

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Mountain Island is truly here to help you live to your fullest potential. Coty and Noelle will meet you where you are to help you reach your wellness goals!

Fantastic experience: Great place! Coty and Noelle are great people that really want to help you be your best self!

Fantastic experience: Great to see a facility run by individuals doing what it takes to make their business stand out from the crowd.

Fantastic experience: Training at CrossFit Mountain Island has been an absolutely wonderful experience! Coty and Noelle (Owners) are extremely knowledgeable coaches who are always eager to help and share information. (Coach Megan is awesome too!) The environment in the gym is a supportive and encouraging one that always makes you feel comfortable. I've made so much progress thanks to everyone here and I'm excited to keep going! I would recommend CrossFit Mountain Island to anyone looking to improve their physical health regardless of where you are at in your fitness journey! Thank you Coty and Noelle for offering so much value each day, being amazing coaches and genuinely great people :)

Fantastic experience: I've been going to CrossFit Mountain Island for just under a month and my experience has been nothing less than top notch. Coaches are attentive to my needs and focused on helping me excel while avoiding injury. I was welcomed with open arms by staff and members alike which is a totally new experience as this is the first CrossFit gym I've visited. Wanna feel great, get stronger and find a second family? Come to CrossFit Mountain Island!

Fantastic experience: Amazing bunch! Coty & Noelle and all the coaches are amazing! Can’t say enough good things

Fantastic experience: I Love CrossFit Mountain Island. Great people,great environment, great time!

Fantastic experience: I can't say enough wonderful things about this gym. i was in a serious rut that I needed help getting out of. I started out with a membership including nutrition and classes and it was just what I needed to get a jump start on a healthier lifestyle. I was really intimidated to start based on the Crossfit name - but not only do the coaches help you modify the workout to fit your abilities, they insist on it. Safety and injury prevention is very obviously a key priority. My fiance and I workout together and despite having very different abilities, are each able to get a really challenging workout. Even through COVID, they've provided a variety of remote training and workouts with consistent check-in to keep everyone accountable. Without this, I definitely would have fallen victim to the 'COVID 19' lbs. Instead I've lost weight and gained muscle. It's really more than just a place to get a workout. Coty and Noelle are focused on all aspects of physical health and genuinely interested in helping people achieve their goals.

Fantastic experience: I can not say enough wonderful things about Crossfit Mountain Island. At first, I was uncertain about my abilities to do Crossfit; however, I quickly overcame my fears with the welcoming atmosphere and supportive coaches. The coaches do a great job at modifying the workouts to accommodate my skill level. The owners, Coty and Noelle, have established a gym community that embraces all members with a variety of athletic abilities.

Fantastic experience: Love going Mountain Island Crossfit! Been going here since February and already notice a difference in how I feel and look. The coaches and members have been especially helpful in motivating me to complete the workouts and improve my form and coordination. Everything from the gym itself to the workouts are very well organized and planned. Would highly recommend to anyone who is looking to push themselves into becoming healthier and building their confidence.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member at CFMI for a little less than a month. My sole intention when i first came was to just see what it was all about because i had heard about crossfit but didn’t know much about it. After my one on one with Coty i was sold immediately. Throughout the classes him and Noelle have been amazing in helping me with my form, pushing me, and making an effort to introduce to me to the rest of the family, so that even as the new person i never felt left out. I haven’t even begun to utilize the rest of the benefits the gym has to offer yet and I already couldn’t speak more highly of this gym and team

Fantastic experience: You’re missing out if you haven’t tried out CrossFit Mountain Island yet... Coaches are amazing!!! It’s been almost a year of working out there and not only have I gained new friends that share the same fitness goals, but they have become my 2nd family;)

Fantastic experience: The folks have been great here. Owners, coaches, and fellow workout enthusiasts. It’s not just a place for fit folks, but for everyone that wants to feel fit. It’s up to me how hard I push, or how fast I want to go and stay away from injuries. They’ll modify the workout depending on what I’m capable of today, and still feel accomplished when the hour is up.

Fantastic experience: CFMI is my first crossfit gym ever attended. Coty and Noelle do an amazing job at checking in on members and making sure they are doing all they can to help us reach our goals. Not to mention they make the workouts as fun as they can be lol. Thanks for all you guys do!

Fantastic experience: I am totally new to CrossFit and haven't truly worked out properly in years! The coaches are super nice and always willing to work with me to modify my workouts. All of the members of the CrossFit Mountain Island family are so encouraging! I'm totally going to keep going and give it my all! You should come join us because I'm certain if I can do this.....anybody can!

Fantastic experience: CMI is more than just a Gym they are a Family!! Very supportive and consistent. No matter how many times I may not show up, they Continue to support me and Stay on top of me. For that I would always be a member of CMI. Thank you Nowell & Coty and the rest of the Coaches because they are amazing!!!! You guys Rock

Fantastic experience: Checking back in here after a few years, community continues to grow and we continue to support each other as we achieve goals and set new ones!

Fantastic experience: Let me just tell you now!! There is no better CrossFit gym in charlotte. The coaches here are so helpful to show and explain all the moves and workouts. It doesn't matter your fitness level, they work to insure you feel better about yourself. Physically and mentally... Crossfit is for everyone!!
