PRIDE Conditioning

Fantastic experience: Phenomenal environment to perform in. Great organization and great staff

Fantastic experience: Absolutely LOVE this gym! The atmosphere is unmatched and they provide an amazing facility for powerlifting meets.

Fantastic experience: Nice venue, drove from Pennsylvania to watch my kids compete at 365 strong powerlifting competition

Fantastic experience: Visited from Maryland for the 365 strong powerlifting competition, friendly staff and great gym. Very nice host venue, hopefully the host more in the future.

Fantastic experience: Great environment to work out at~ Everyone is friendly and the owners and even people at the gym have helped when I get confused at how to use some equipment and things like that. I have been powerlifting with Lindsay’s custom programming for maybe 3 or 4 months so far and it has been great! I started very unsure of what to do and struggled with being quite nervous to go to gyms for fear of doing the wrong thing and other worries as a super newbie (and was bored of doing cardio pretty much exclusively) and lifting has been fun and helpful . Big thanks to Doug and Lindsay + I really recommend this gym! :)

Fantastic experience: It’s hard to find gyms with an environment like this one. The industrial and open set up has everything needed, and the people here are great too. Lifting And boxing, which is great for someone who likes both like me. Check it out!

Fantastic experience: I wasn’t sure what I was looking for in a gym other than knowing what I didn’t want. I’m so glad to say everything I was looking for, I found. Coaching - check Gear - check Nutritional guidance - check Awesomely supportive atmosphere- check Great equipment and support - check I can’t speak enough about the culture this gym has, how welcoming everyone is, how supportive Doug & Lindsay are and there is absolutely no shortage of laughs and good times. Hands down, my favorite thing to do all day is being here!

Fantastic experience: This review comes so many years late. I worked out with Doug and Lindsay throughout my college years. I got turned into my best self. Everything I learned there has stuck with me all these years later. It was a great experience. Seeing the glow up of this gym from a distance has been amazing. I am proud of what Pride has become and I wish them the best. So, if you're looking for a great group fitness experience this place is it. The kettlebell training was pretty killer too. Check that out.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication I love this place. It's the place to go if you are serious about improving your health span. Hard work and immediate results.

Fantastic experience: Great gym! Had all the equipment you could need

Fantastic experience: Great facility with quality equipment! Awesome staff!!! 5/5 stars. Would definitely recommend

Fantastic experience: Great Gym! And the environment is even better! Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been to a good amount of gyms- either dropping in from out of town or checking them out and this gym has one of the most welcoming feelings as a person who can be shy when I don’t know many people. The owner was so genuine in his words and actually wanted to help me with a movement. I’m in love with the place already

Fantastic experience: It was a great workout, I love the environment most definitely go back again. I look forward to seeing what probably can offer in the future. I will be going to pry conditioning for my gym in the future!!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Very cool and welcoming gym. Super easy to get to if you live near the uptown area!

Fantastic experience: Doug and Lindsay are dedicated owners who are devoted to helping their clients achieve their goals. Pride is highly recommended to anyone looking for a challenge.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality I was a college athlete who moved to Charlotte and looking for a gym. The atmosphere is great and the people are even better! I go everyday after work. Very professional and the workout I get is like no where else I have trained! I am beyond happy to call Pride Conditioning my forever gym!

Fantastic experience: I want to give a big thank you to Doug. I live out of state but saw one of his YouTube videos and emailed him for some help with my rowing technique. He was very kind to send me a detailed analysis of the video I sent and told me where I could make some improvements. He also gave me some ancillary exercises to do to improve my strength and technique. I really appreciate his time and effort to help me out even though there is no way I could join his health club. Thanks Doug!

Fantastic experience: Top tier training facility with highly knowledgeable and experienced coaches. Hands down the best gym in the region.

Fantastic experience: My favorite place to in Charlotte! Doug is an amazing owner and it's always a great time at Pride Conditioning.

Fantastic experience: Been going here for 2 years now. Love the people and coaches. The have great programming, great coaching, and lots of options in which you can aim towards what you are interested in. Highly recommend giving it a shot.

Fantastic experience: Signed up in July for the Beginner to Beast program. I’ve seen dramatic changes in my strength and condition. Highly recommended to anyone that wants to make a change. Great atmosphere and coaches to keep you motivated.

Fantastic experience: Best workout in town. Very challenging. Changes daily so you don’t get bored or complacent. I’ve been working out here for 7 years. Top notch trainers!

Fantastic experience: Amazing coaching, programming, and people who workout there together daily. Hard to complete against a solid foundation like Pride Conditioning.

Fantastic experience: Great space and great people! Doug and Lindsey and the whole staff are great teachers and coaches! Also, the best price in town. But don’t be fooled - the workouts will kick your butt!

Fantastic experience: This is an amazing facility with excellent programming and a helpful, knowledgeable staff. In my opinion this gym will give you the best chance there is of you reaching your health and fitness goals, that's why I chose to join. We even have some fun every now and again ;)

Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough about Pride. Doug is an awesome coach. The program works! There isn’t another gym around that can produce results like this! I joined not know much about what I was getting into. Doug worked with me everyday to get me where I wanted to be. Can’t make it to a class? Guess what neither can I but Pride made it work for me. Come by and check it out. You won’t be disappointed. Pride is where you go to get real results!

Fantastic experience: I have been a client of Pride Conditioning for more than 8 years. In that time, I have not only gotten stronger physically but also mentally. My body and mind look forward to the time in the gym and if I am traveling or unable to get to Pride, I miss the workout AND my friends (the folks who hold me accountable to keeping active daily!). Taking the first step in joining a gym is the easy part (join Pride Conditioning!). Getting to the gym the first time is the hardest part - but you won't regret it!

Fantastic experience: Pride gives you a nice mix of strength, mobility and cardio work, which is good for a novice to expert. Classes are a lot of fun and the gym has a great community of people. I highly recommend checking it out if you want to get (or stay) in shape and reduce your day-to-day stress.

Fantastic experience: Wow, what a great place to have a healing practice! I've been using the gym's treatment room for my clients for the last several months and have been more than satisfied. Doug and his trainers are great to work with and the facility is top notch.

Fantastic experience: Best workout in town! A good variety of cardio and strength and it’s always challenging. Great group of people to workout with as well - been coming for over 6 years and love it!

Fantastic experience: Been going to this gym for 5+ years. Great program and classes. Results too

Fantastic experience: Very cool gym with a great vibe. The owner is friendly and welcoming, loves to train. There is good equipment here for powerlifting, or you can jump in one of the group classes. Great spot for regular training or visit when you’re in town and want to get a lift in!

Fantastic experience: This is an amazing facility with with programming designed to build strength and conditioning at all levels. The trainers do a great job scaling workouts to challenge people while ensuring good technique. The community, coaches, and programming will be sure to keep you on track for reaching your health & fitness goals.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member since moving to Charlotte about 3 years ago. I go 3x-4x a week and have seen consistent improvement in both max lifts, overall strength, ankle and shoulder stability, and endurance. Doug is the man. Not only is he a knowledgeable coach and trainer, he is a caring individual who is a resourceful and experienced point of reference. He has referred me mechanics, tire shops, restaurants, and even dog walkers. Part of his mantra for his gym is "daily improvement" and he practices what he preaches as he is always looking for the next newest thing to add to the gym, whether that is bringing events to the gym, having PTs come in for seminars, and resident neuromuscular therapist! I am excited for what he has planned in the future yet somehow still nervous about the workout this afternoon. I am scared of ever moving away from Charlotte, as Pride Conditioning has set the bar too high.

Fantastic experience: I've been going here for over 2 years now. By far in the best shape of my life at 33! Doug and the rest of the coaches are great at pushing you to be your best, but also making sure you have good technique and are staying safe. If you want a gym that works on your strength and endurance Pride is the place for you! I'd reccomend signing up for a year membership. You get a discount and also it motivates you to come because well...you've already paid for it!

Fantastic experience: Been coming to Pride for 6 years. Great programming and coaches. You get exposure to an amazing variety of workouts and components, along with technique feedback across the board. Although everything is scalable, you have to come ready to work hard, because the workouts aren't easy -- but there's a real sense of common purpose and togetherness at this gym, and if you embrace the challenge and stick with it, you'll quickly find yourself in amazing shape (and probably make some friends along the way).

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym and people! Been going to Pride for 6-7 years now, and continue to be pushed to bigger and better things! Not only are the trainers great, but it's a great team environment where everyone supports and encourages each other. Give it a try!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Pride for close to 5 years. The variety of workouts keeps me engaged and when I want to try something new, there not just options but Doug, Lindsey and the staff are awesome in helping members try the next thing. Since I’ve been going to Pride, I’ve done athletic training, kickboxing and am now power lifting. Earlier this year I decided to challenge myself and enter a powerlifting completion. Everyone on the team was incredibly welcoming (and now are friends) and with the coaching from Lindsey and Doug, I achieved my goal. I’m in better shape at 40, than I was at 30.

Fantastic experience: I am a firm believer that programming is what makes a gym. Doug's programming is second to none. He keeps it challenging and diverse while making sure form and technique are on point. You WILL get in great shape if you just show up. Not only will you look like everyone desires, but you will become functionally fit that will translate into all areas of your life. I did crossfit for years, and like most I ended up injured. All of Pride's workouts are well thought out and compliment each other, so you aren't ruining your joints from repetitive abuse. I've been with Pride for 5 years now, and I will not go anywhere else. Come check out where brains meets brawns.

Fantastic experience: I've been going here for over 2 years and wanted a gym that would teach me good technique and Pride does just that. The classes are always different so you do not get bored and the app they use for the workouts is great as it tracks the weight you've done and estimates 1RM for you. This gym has everything you could ask for from kettlebells, rowing, powerlifting, weightlifting, etc.

Fantastic experience: I do the 6 am workouts, and it's definitely a good start to my day. Challenging hour of working out, but I have been going just a few times a week (2-3) for a few months now and I can definitely feel myself getting stronger.

Fantastic experience: Hands down this is the best gym in Charlotte! I have been a member for over 2 years and have loved every second. Ok maybe that is an exaggeration since there were some tough moments in the beginning. That has nothing to do with the crew over at Pride and more to so with how out of shape I was lol. I found more than a place to workout. I found a second home, a great group of friends, a team, and an awesome family. Everyone here, including the other members, are committed to making you better, fitter, and stronger. The coaches are such a well rounded group with a vast array of knowledge in multiple disciplines. You will not find a better place to train!

Fantastic experience: Doug & Lindsay have done an incredible job of creating a positive environment for people of all fitness levels! The class workouts are challenging, and they offer Powerlifting, Kettlebell Sport, & Olympic Lifting programs as well. The atmosphere is always competitive, yet encouraging. Pride Conditioning will bring out the very best in you!

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Pride for more than 2 years now. Trust the work outs from the trainers from Pride conditioning and you will see results. Hurry Sign up now!

Fantastic experience: I happen to be a fellow gym owner on the outer side of the county, I have been following Doug & Lindsay for quite sometime and have had many conversations with Doug on training methods as other our gyms focus on the same methods, i can tell you Doug & Lindsay know their craft. Doug is a boss when it come to Kettlebell training! Your in great hands by training at their gym, it doesn't matter if you never been inside of a gym or looking to compete they can help you succeed in your goals! Many gyms in this area of town, but you want get the hands on knowledge they will give you!

Fantastic experience: I have been coming to Pride off and on for years - consistently for the past year. I kept trying other gyms and classes but there is something that keeps me coming back to Pride! The classes really challenge and push me. I have never taken the same class twice! I have really grown in strength and its also helped me set PRs in my 10ks and Half Marathons in the past year.

Fantastic experience: 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. Check it out!

Fantastic experience: 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 killer tunes).

Fantastic experience: This place is no BS! No fad workouts, no magical pills, just show up, do the work and you'll look and feel great. After 4 months here, I am in the best shape I've been in since I was a young marine. I love the variety of classes they offer. There is no judgements if your out of shape, just motivation to do what your capable of and pushing you to be your best. What I most like is their dedication to form. Knowing they won't let me screw up my back in a workout is key. When your pushing yourself every day, it's key to keep healthy. All in all, I highly recommend this gym. Give it a try no matter where your at in your exercise experience and it'll pay off.
