Review of Charlotte Athletic Club

I've been going to CAC for about 3 or 4 years now ...

I've been going to CAC for about 3 or 4 years now and am so pleased with my experience. First off, it is a high quality facility with two convenient locations in uptown. They have great equipment in good working order, lots of different types of spaces, incl TRX, spin, yoga, turf, basketball court, strength, etc. There are plenty of cardio machines and it is rare to ever have to wait for anything. The clients are friendly and well mannered. The lockers rooms are clean and well appointed. They even have Restore services like massage, cryo, and IV services on-site. The thing that really brings it over the top for me though is the staff. Front desk staff are welcoming and professional. The owner arranges social activities, christmas parties, and interesting exercise programming. Trainers though do an extraordinary job and have really made it feel like a family to me. There is a great schedule of group fitness classes and the trainers design excellent fun programming so spin, boot camps, yoga, trx, hiit, etc all feel new and different and interesting every day. Amongst my favorites are Kate Kovats, Tara Kimball, and Hilary Heath. All make you feel welcome and connect with you and make you feel accountable, energized and part of a team that is interested in your welfare. My biggest kudos go to Britney Greenwood who I do personal training with. I met her as an excellent instructor for group fitness. She is a knowledgeable trainer with a keen eye for proper form and corrective actions. She has really helped improve my strength and cares deeply about providing a high level of training and of your success. She also manages to do this while being a funny and engaging person that is just plain enjoyable to spend time with. I have enjoyed working with her so much that my wife started working with her recently and she raves about her. Spend the couple of extra bucks to come to a good reliable club and be satisfied with somewhere you can stay long term. I've been to the Y, and done ClassPass adventures to about every fitness concept in Charlotte available. They are mostly all great and have something good to offer, but CAC is a home.
