Five Rings Strength & Conditioning

Fantastic experience: I've been coming to Five Rings for almost 4 months after changing gyms and have enjoyed my experience. I love the ability to have 24 hr access with my ever-changing schedule. There's quality equipment and great coaching. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a new gym

Fantastic experience: 5 rings was my first experience with a true weightlifting team and I felt welcomed and honored to be there from day one. No matter what level you are, 5 rings provides an amazing community of like minded people and coaches that will push you and support you through it all. We are truly a family and I encourage anyone thinking about checking it out to go for it!

Fantastic experience: Sometimes it's hard to start attending a new gym because you don't know anyone, and Oly lifting can just be intimidating in general. It is not like that at all at Five Rings; where everyone is treated like family. They have all the equipment you'd need, and the coaching is fantastic. I had been Oly lifting for a while before coming here and have made more progress in 6 months than in the 3 years prior. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Charlotte. I recently moved to Charlotte from Iowa, and have been having a difficult time meeting people and finding a gym I enjoy. After unsuccessfully lifting at various gyms across Charlotte, I was recommended to try out 5 Rings by a friend. I have never been an Olympic weightlifter by any means, but Ben (the coach and owner) and the 5 Rings community welcomed me with open arms and a plethora of advice, experience, and support. By far the best gym in Charlotte with quality equipment, members, programming, coaching, hours (open 24 hours), price, and location. I would highly recommend 5 Rings to anyone with or without lifting experience, regardless of age.

Fantastic experience: I live in Raleigh but I have to be in Charlotte once a week for work. As a competitive weightlifter, they really are the best gym in the area. They have everything I need, regulation training bars and bumpers, lined platforms, pull blocks, jerk blocks, and mobile squat racks (which is really convenient). They have everything CrossFitters need as well, so I've used some of their equipment to do my rehab and accessory work. I love the colors and samurai theme, and the mural outside is probably one of the coolest you'll see in the NoDa area if you walk around. I've been to some weightlifting gyms where everyone is on their own platform, wearing headphones, and no one talks. But I've never felt unwelcome here - tons of laughing and encouragement. Definitely found my home away from home as far as gyms go. Oh yeah, they also invited me out for a beer right across the street when they closed up. Highly recommend.
