I was intimidated looking at the pics and reviews of super-ripped folks vs myself never having been a regular at a gym and needing (as my wife put it) to convert some fluff to tuff. The seriousness of the clientele, the gym’s brand attitude of not going halfway and the high reviews are exactly why I chose Elite. Why go to a gym without any examples of what I’m aiming for?I signed up and have been going (with training) for a while now. Turns out it’s owned and run by some great folks who really have your back. Big win in my book!This is a heck of a find. Almost hate to share bc I don’t want it crowded.

This is my 2nd stint as a member of Elite and it’s even better running it back. Wonderful community of fitness/bodybuilding/general health enthusiasts who are engaging and devoted to achieving their goals! Def a focus on weight training in terms of the equipment offering, but there is cardio for sure and three stair climbers (H’Ville) If you’re looking to take your fitness to the next level - you’ll be hard pressed to find a better gym in the area!!

Zero stars if it was an option. Good luck if you need to cancel this gym. mMy husband has been trying to cancel this for three months with their stupid Peak Payment Solutions. They are rude, and keep dragging review of the documentation so they keep on charging money even after my husband provide proof of relocation to another state. They charged a settlement fee to cancel and never sent the cancelation email, then saying now he hasn't canceled at all. Fraud!!!

Amazing gym with great ownership and trainers. This score reflects the company they use as a 3rd party Peak Payments for their membership systems.I am relocating so I was canceling my membership. I reached out and provided the information needed but they deliberately asked for the same info but my entire utility bill even though the first page gave them the content requested.They just happened to only respond back to me a week later after the June payment was processed and according to them no money is refunded as they can’t retroactively apply it to the date the information was provided but when it was submitted on their end.They are a pretty sleazy company and if you google them online you see why they are rated as a one with many BBB complaints.This is a reflection on Elite only because this is who they choose to do business with. Beware of Peak if you need to cancel your membership or have any account changes.

This is Sherry Manalan. If you are looking for a great place to work out and train, this place is awesome! Very friendly staff, and great trainers. I highly recommend Rebecca as a trainer.. she trains me and takes into consideration my health issues, and is very patient with me! Five stars for them!

Previously had membership at PF. Never looking back. This has been the best gym experience. Great, affordable, old school vibe with excellent equipment for no BS serious weight training - and never overcrowded. Staff is friendly and clientele are courteous. 24/7 access is a bonus as I often work out late nights. Highly recommend Elite Fitness.

One of a kind gym in the area. If your serious about lifting or just enjoy it like me, this is the spot.

Just a great place to lift. They have a large range of free weights and machines. The place also has a great vibe with a ton of friendly people serious about fitness. The staff are also beyond welcoming and kind. Thankful a place like this exists.

This review is for the Huntersville location only. There is supposedly a new Concord location or so I've been told!I tried several gyms in the Charlotte area and ended up choosing Elite Fitness. To sum it up: Elite Fitness meets my requirements for a gym and has the best combination of equipment, cardio, and affordability.The biggest perk of this gym is that there is a lot of high quality equipment. You'll always get a great workout here. No question there.I feel motivated when I go here. The gym has a motivational atmosphere. A lot of people here push themselves hard. It causes me to push myself harder and then I'm causing someone else to push harder too. It's a cycle!Another perk is the gym is open 24 hours. Now would I go to the gym at 2 AM in the morning? 99.999% of the time the answer is no. BUT it's nice not having to worry about when the gym will close while you're there!This gym hasn't felt overwhelmingly crowded even during typical peak hours. Your mileage may vary here depending on what you want to do.Temperature wise: The gym feels comfortable and doesn't feel too cold or hot to me. Keep in mind that this review was written while it's cold outside. Can't speak for how it is during the summer.One more thought: This gym COULD be a fit for a wide range of goals that people may have. My recommendation is to add this gym to your list of gyms to try. Do try a lot of other gyms to make sure you've chosen the best fit for yourself. Finally, I highly recommend finding a gym that is no more than a 10-15 minute drive from where you live if possible. That way, it won't be a hassle for you to go every time and you'll feel more motivated to go. At least that has been my experience.

The environment itself is nice. Wood platforms, metal plates and dumbbells, and older equipment. It’s great. If you’re into powerlifting, it’s alright for that too. Most of the platforms aren’t smooth for deadlifts, but it’s still doable. The 2 front desk guys that I’ve talked to are very nice as well.If you want a highly commercialized gym where people lack gym etiquette, are arrogant about their workouts, curl in the squat rack, don’t clean up after themselves and talk for extended periods of time in between sets, Elite is the gym for you. Don’t get me wrong, there’s still a good amount of really cool people who are very respectful, but having to wait 10-15 minutes to get a bench because someone put their gym bag there and then walked away to talk to a group of people is frustrating for when I need to get in and out before work. There’s also several situations where older men will not just glance, but openly stare at my girlfriend or other friends who lift there. They do NOT handle criticism or conflict well at all. It’s not an experience I have ever dealt with at other gyms, but everyone’s experience is different at the times you lift.

I moved back to the area a couple weeks ago and was searching for a new gym to join. A friend suggested I try out Elite Fitness due to their outstanding equipment. I made an appointment to tour the facility and right of the bat I was thoroughly impressed. Jamar showed me around and was incredibly helpful by discussing the multiple membership options they provide. *Which is very beneficial whether you are staying in the area short or long term!* Within the first week of going I noticed they not only provide excellent AND clean equipment, but the environment is unbeatable. Everyone there is so encouraging and whenever I have a question regarding how to use the equipment the staff is happy to help. I highly suggest if you are looking to join the best gym around to stop in at Elite Fitness and take a look!

Exactly what I needed. I’m not a commercial gym or a health club kind of lifter. I powerlift. I use chalk. I have a gym bag. And this place welcomed me with open arms. The atmosphere screams success. From the countless pics on the wall from world class body builders to average Jame’s and Joe’s it’s a gym rookies and veterans can come together and coexist at.
