Fitness & Gyms in Matthews, NC

“As someone who hasn’t done boxing for a while this was an amazing place to come back and pick it up, they have the perfect balance of getting back to where you were and adding new and exciting exercises and movements to keep you going back and back for more, the exercises rotate daily so you look forward to a new challenge each day you comeback, my girlfriend was new to the world of kickboxing and boxing and with the help of Brooke she was able to feel comfortable and have fun during her trial which lead us to sign up here! You also get some starting gear when you sign up and get to choose your favorite colors. Would 100% recommend for both beginners and experienced folks.”

“My wife and I have been members of CrossFit Kaiju for almost three years, and we love every aspect.
What sets Kaiju apart starts with the programming. Brian (BY) customizes the workouts himself, and it's next level — far better than competitive gyms that just buy their programming online. The workouts are genuinely challenging, change every single day, and offer incredible variety, so you never get bored or stale.
The coaching is excellent. They provide clear direction and hands-on training while recognizing that everyone is at a different point in their CrossFit journey. Whether you're a seasoned athlete or just learning the basics, they scale the workouts so every member can succeed.
Most importantly, Kaiju has a tremendous culture. I've made so many friends here, and that community is the heart of the gym. There's a class for everyone — CrossFit, weightlifting, cardio, Hyrox, yoga (a recent and welcome addition), and even an entry-level course for those just getting started. They run classes seven days a week, including Sunday, when most CrossFit gyms are closed.
Several of us compete in local competitions, and the members are there every step of the way with encouragement and support. That motivation keeps us pushing to work harder and give our best every time we walk in the door.
Kaiju is next level. I haven't found a gym that compares, you won't be disappointed!”

“Have been going to ISI Matthews for over a year. I had enjoyed getting to know everyone. The workouts are usually very good - occasionally the programming is too much of one muscle/group in one class. Kim is the best!”

“For the first time in a long time, I truly enjoy going to my work out class. The instructors take the time to correct your form and provide modifications if you have a recent injury. Everyone is extremely encouraging and I have met so many amazing people. Thank you Burn for providing this community!”

“I have coached at many CrossFit gyms in the last decade here in the Charlotte area and while none of them are perfect, there are some that surpass the rest. Many CrossFit gyms will offer good programming, a good space, and good equipment, but many do not offer that feeling of “home.”

I loved my first CrossFit gym I started at, but since then I have popped around and haven’t found a gym that really felt like home since. My first gym was full of a group of people that just felt like “your people.” Although I have only been coaching here for a few months, I’m starting to get the feeling that I might just find that place again. (So, fingers crossed for me & you!)

So far, the community has proved to be nothing but close knit where everyone really shows up to push each other to succeed and the programming has proved to be designed with care and a high standard in mind.”

“Total Soccer Charlotte is a fantastic place to host a party! Our child enjoyed it so much last year that we’re doing it again this year. Our Coach was awesome and everyone had a blast! Highly recommend!”

“I popped in about 2:30 AM to get a quick workout in and went to hit the showers. Caught me off guard because I walked in and the first thing I smelled was chlorine! Mr. George was in the restroom area cleaning the men’s restroom and stopped what he was doing just to clean and spray down a shower for me, and then proceeded to clean a changing room for me just to make sure I could enjoy a fresh shower! I must say out of my 10 years of being with Planet Fitness this is the CLEANEST I’ve ever seen/smelled a men’s room!! Please give this man a raise for his hard work, dedication to cleanliness, and very friendly/professionalism!! They don’t make too many like him, thank you Mr. George!!!”

“Really beautiful and clean facility. Staff is friendly and helpful. Kaylyn was kind and helpful giving me a tour of the facility, let me know what resources were available, and offered me the facility’s schedule as well as help finding it on the app. Julianne helped me with signing up for a membership that was covered through my health insurance and also let me know about the benefits available through their app and offered me a schedule of their classes as well.”
