First things first I do not do reviews on Google. I do not care about most companies, but this is an exception. I have been going to Hive Fitness for about seven months and it’s my first gym out of college and can say with the same certainty that the sun will come up tomorrow that the staff in the gym itself are the best you can get in Charlotte. It’s one of those gyms where you get that community that the franchises just don’t have. The equipment is more than you could ever possibly need and while I don’t go to the group classes you can tell that the personal trainers are not just highly qualified, but there’s also a clear sense of companionship within the groups. It can get busy from 5-7PM especially on Monday’s, but if you’re expecting to always have whatever you want open whenever you need it I strongly suggest either going in the morning or stop whining and make your own gym in a shed or something and stop being a crybaby. Culture is definitely a word I could attribute to this gym. Beyond the smiling faces and conversations that happen between people you can see that everyone goes there for the same reason: to put in the time. Again this is the first gym I am going to out of college, but I can’t tell its set a high bar for whatever comes next. Also follow them on social media

This place is incredible. I signed up for this gym before it opened hoping it would be everything I dreamed a gym could be. IT FAR EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS. The Ignite+ Bootcamps are challenging, they get your heart rate up, and you’ll build some strength. Bryson is a phenomenal coach and has gone above and beyond to protect my health (I have a previous injury) while pushing me towards my potential. The Transcend Yoga classes are AMAZING. I’m no yoga guy, I’ve never have been. But this was a needed part of my training regimen and Ryan is a stellar coach. The heated power flows have blown my mind in showing me what. My body is capable of. I haven’t gotten around to NEXTcycle or barreCULTURE yet, but I can’t wait to give them a try. But I also utilize the open gym which has everything I could need on a fitness floor. High quality equipment to build the strength I need and the physique I want. The personal trainers here are NEXT LEVEL. Give this place a try, the value of this membership is unbelievable. If I tried to get all of this at all the other places in Charlotte I’d spend over 4X more for way less value and more driving. And don’t even get me started on how delicious the smoothies and the açaí bowls are here Proud to be a part of the Hive Fitness Family!

The Hive is by far my fav gym I've been to, I joined almost 6 months ago. Used to go to the Dowd y and I go at 5 am so I expect very few people (not the case at my old gym). This gym does a really great job at !!!capping the membership!!! It is expensive but its so worth the price for the amount of people in there, not to mention I have met so many amazing people. I feel comfortable to talk to the trainers and desk staff, and have even gotten compliments from random people at the gym and made some friends. Everyone who goes also seems very professional and serious about what they are in for. I feel super comfortable there, equipment is never taken when I need it and if it is, its rare. I feel like this gym is definitely more of a family than a regular gym and I really appreciate the community aspect of it. I think as long as there is a strict membership cap, It will continue to be my favorite gym.

Hive fitness is a local gym geared toward big weights and even bigger community. Before joining Hive Fitness, I spent countless hours trying each gym in the area. From the Y, to HIIT gyms, crossfits, OTF, Volofit and many others. None struck the balance and ease and community that Hive strikes seemingly effortlessly. Each employee takes time to support you in your gym experience whether you're geared toward yoga, getting into weight lifting, prepping for a show, personal training, or want HIIT and a variety of classes (through ignite), there is something done very well for each desired experience. It's almost never too busy, the owner is readily available and sociable, open to suggestions and outwardly kind. I've had commiserate experiences with each member of staff here. You can and will find a home at Hive, just show up

I left Hive Fitness due to the distance from my house and the high cost compared to comparable gyms in the area. I asked to cancel my membership 2 weeks before the next payment was due as I was going to be gone the following 2 weeks after it renewed (on military orders). My contract had also ended and I was paying month to month. I even asked if they’d meet me halfway and I’d make the last payment for half the price. They flat out refused to work with me which was pretty disappointing considering the owner was a military veteran as well. The only reason I didn’t give them a 1 star review was due to the fact that one of the owners (Rob) didn’t try to force people to wear masks and allowed members to make their own choice during the scamdemic.

This place has an awesome central location. Everyone is so nice.. make you feel welcome regardless of skill levels ..but will still push you. The 2 owners are super nice and ensure the staff is on point with details like knowing your name and greeting you (which does make a difference). Ive had interactions with Rob, Josiah, Savannah, Bryce, Abbie, Mary, Josh Ox, Brent and Alana and have been the nicest most engaged folks I’ve encountered in a gym environment. I’ve only had planet fitness/ Fitness Connection experiences, but this gym is on another level. Whether you want open gym.. yoga, boot camp, barre, Spin .. its here. Clean showers and bathrooms and tasty smoOthie bar for on the go drinks! What r u waiting for?! Sign up!

This is hands down one of the best facilities I’ve dropped into this year. Huge, bright, open functional space. Very friendly staff. Very respectful members. There are tons of different modalities to use and different spaces to train in. Even during class hours, it did not feel super packed or overwhelmingly busy. The cleanliness of the space is definitely worth mentioning. It is literally the cleanest gym/locker room area I’ve seen in a gym. Very well kept and reasonably price. Drop in for the day was $15. I went 2 days in a row. Hopefully they have the option to pay a weekly drop in at some point. I will definitely find my way back if I’m in Charlotte for work again.

I started going to Hive in 2022, after spending time at other gyms like F45, the YMCA, etc. All other gyms I've tried in Charlotte pale in comparison to Hive. They have great trainers who actually know what they are talking about, it is never too crowded or busy even during peak hours, and what I personally enjoyed was the mixed membership option that allows you to take classes and have access to the open gym. It is priced very affordably, considering everything you get. If you're looking for a gym in Charlotte that covers everything, stop looking, go check out Hive. Yoga, Barre, HIIT Classes, equipment for just about everything you can think of, and recently a sauna!

From the moment I walked in the door I felt immediately comfortable. One of the owners (Josiah) stood and talked nutrition with me for an hour BEFORE he even knew I was planning on purchasing a membership. I never felt pressured, I felt like every person there wanted to see me succeed not just take my money. The trainer I have been working with (Brent) makes everything EXTREMELY comfortable. He explained things to me that I didn't know and never pressured me to spend money on extra things. This is by far the best gym I have ever been to, I am extremely pleased with how personal and helpful everyone has been. I would recommend this gym to anyone a thousand times over.

Hive Fitness is such an awesome gym! They have something for everyone from yoga, bootcamps, open gym, even barre classes. They have every piece of equipment you could desire and even just added a sauna! Plus, during peak hours you’re not waiting around for anything to open because there’s so many machines and squat racks. The ignite classes are top notch and the trainers are always welcoming and helpful. The hot yoga classes are the best recovery after a hard lifting session too! The gym is always clean and has a great atmosphere. Overall, one of the most diverse gyms in Charlotte. Highly recommend giving them a try if you’re looking for a new place to workout!

I’m so happy at this gym! I’m so thankful I found hive. I’ve never been to a gym that was so welcoming. The atmosphere is amazing, the staff keeps the place spotless and it has everything your gym rat heart could ever want! I appreciate that management is always making improvements around the gym to better our experience and make being a hive member even more special. I feel extremely safe here as well as just overall motivation to come here and spend my time in this gorgeous gym. I’m legitimately sad on my rest days when I don’t come to the gym that sometimes I’ll pick up a deep stretch yoga class just to have an excuse to come ☺️

Best gym I've ever been a part of. The trainers and other gym goers are all super friendly. It's a true family type of atmosphere, but one that is also very welcoming of outsiders. I've been coming for 4 months and am already in the best shape I've been in years. In response to some of the negative posts about the lack of masks. It's true, they cannot mandate you wear a mask while running on a treadmill or taking a boot camp. They take cleaning seriously and promote social distancing, but if you're not comfortable being in the same room as people without masks then you should probably wait to start going back to the gym.

Whether you are lucky enough to live close to this place or live an hour away it is worth the drive! If you are looking for boot camp classes, bar, personal training, yoga, spin, power lifting, or just weight lifting this is THE PLACE! They have great recovery smoothies and healthy pre-workout drinks (without the artificial garbage that is in many of them) readily accessible. If you are a first time gym goer looking to take back control of your health with proper guidance to avoid injury or a "gym rat" looking for motivational pictures of Arnold in a secluded power lifting room you have come to the right place!

I go to Hive Fitness every day of the week! It is my home away from home. The owners Rob and Josiah are amazing at answering any of my questions. Jennifer and Alana at the front desk are the best smoothie makers and greeters. The childcare is awesome for my 7 year old and allows me to keep my workout strong. Bryson’s Ignite classes (bootcamp) always push me to limits. Ryan and Michaela have the two best yoga classes around. Plus...there’s still an amazing cycle room, barre and open gym area. I love this gym more than I can describe. If you’re not a member yet...you are seriously missing out!!

Pros: Cool gym, great location & good crowd. Nice smoothie bar & always stocked up on drinks/bars. Always clean. Huge areas for classes & bootcamp style fitness. Cons: It’s about the most expensive gym in the area & they don’t have new equipment… that was surprising. Just an FYI for new members… after you complete your contract term, however long you signed up for, just know that they will continue to bill you and when you cancel after your contract, they hit you for one more month… even though you’ve fulfilled your original contract term & no longer go.

Great service staff, clean gym, good machine, cardio and free weight selection. I stopped in on a delayed flight and got to get in a good work out. This is more of a genreral/crossfit type of gym. Not really for power/oly lifters like me, so no calibrated plates, but they do have bumper plates, and lb plates to get in heavy work up to 585 if you want. They have 1 power rack and minimal bar selection, but their bumper plates are good for oly lifters. Anything over 585, may be risky as the bars arent big enough to hold more lb or bumper plates, safely.

I’ve been coming to this gym for a few months now. The main characteristics that stick out to me are some that heavily impact my overall gym experience. Mainly the fact that the equipment is new and kept clean and in working order. If something is ever out of order or can’t be used, it’s never for more than day. The staff of trainers and folks at the front desk are friendly and do their best to know members’ names and stay connected.

Excellent gym! I've been going for the last few weeks and love the place. Spacious facilities with lots of different machines. I've been working with Chisum, who has given me tons of pointers and has been working hard to get me into shape. Couldn't ask for a more knowledgeable and conscientious trainer. He pushes me to do more, but never so much that I risk injury or burnout. Highly recommend the Hive for anyone in Charlotte!

This gym is incredible. Every single staff member is so welcoming and kind, and they're easy to talk to and ask questions. This gym truly is for everybody. Beginner or competitive lifting,you can do it all here and the Hive team is going to help you along the way. And the classes are awesome! It's a great way to get a hard workout in, while spending time with some new people and pushing each other.

I only signed up for a 6 month membership. but they continued to charge me $80 a month after my membership ended for several additional months. When I nicely asked Rob Jenkins & Carolyn Kosma to be refunded for the months I was charged beyond my membership, they spoke down to me & refused to refund any of the money. Unbelievably, they said they would also be charging me $80 one more time.

After one day I had to sign in and give this place 5 stars after meeting the guy who runs it. Rob and all of the people working out there bring the all inclusive vibe of the new “golden era” of working out / bodybuilding. Tons of equipment, much more than enough. Tons of nice people whether you are learning, intermediate, or advanced, this is the gym for you.

I’ve only been a member at this gym a few short months but it has been an amazing experience! Busy during the 5-7 after work rush but the people here are incredible and hard workers. I’ve really enjoyed getting to know the regulars here and love the energy this gym has! Great place to train and meet people for a relatively expensive cost, but so worth it!

This gym is I my opinion the best in Charlotte. The prices are more than fare for all the different types of workouts styles available. Personally I go for the open gym and the equipment is in awesome shape. They also offer additional classes like yoga and boot camp style. This place aside from being a just a gym has a community seems very welcoming.

Great location, super nice people who work there, my bf and I love it. They have classes and all the machines you need. Some dark man room in the back right it’s a bit too advanced for me but if you are a power lifter you would enjoy. If the electric or cell phone grid goes down I would probably walk to hive and wait for further instructions.

Been going to this gym for about 7-8 months and really really enjoy it, staff is always super friendly, atmosphere is amazing, you don’t really ever have to wait for anything. The gym I used to go to doesn’t even compare. As long as I live in South End, I’ll always be a member at Hive.

Given it's one of the few gyms open, they're doing a great job managing the crowd of people looking for a place to train. This gym is clean and inviting with decent equipment. The only criticism is their weekend hours are fairly limited which leads to huge crowd, especially on Sunday

I have been going to hive for 2+ years now. I can’t imagine going to another gym in charlotte at this point. The staff, trainers, and owner are all top notch. They focus on building a great community for those that go to the gym as well as building up the community outside the gym.

I love the classes here! Every class provides the perfect amount of challenge. I love that the classes are designed by the trainers vs a corporation because they design them to fit the needs of the class. The weekly structure also changes so it’s never boring. Def recommend!

Up to date equipment with helpful (not pushy) staff and a great atmosphere. Has anything you want mo matter fitness goals-heavy weights all the way to cardio classes...very impressed with layout...obviouslyleaps and bounds ahead of "judgment free zone"

A boutique gym with everything you’d want. I started going to their yoga classes and been training with Erin for a few months and she’s amazing. The energy and community at this gym is supportive & unlike any other fitness center! Highly recommend.

NOBODY was wearing masks including the trainers and staff! No social distancing is maintained and the equipment is closely set in the facility less than a feet apart. Unacceptable and dangerous! I left after 15 minutes and will not be returning!

An Excellent Fitness Experience with Everything for Everybody A strong vibe, modern, progressive, and one of the few places in years where people hang out after a workout - Very Enjoyable !!! If you go visit, you'll always go back !!! …

Exactly what I was looking for out of a gym. HIVE is the perfect place to starve your distractions and feed your focus on your fitness goals. A big Thank You to management and staff for promoting a quality facility at an affordable rate.

Hive Fitness is an all-around great facility. The equipment is good, the crowds are minimal (in the sense that you can more often than not get on a machine you want without waiting), and the energy is there. Would recommend to anyone.

By far the best gym I’ve ever been to - in Charlotte or anywhere else. The facility, the equipment and the people are top shelf. Pricing is very reasonable, especially for as much as the gym offers. You won’t find a better gym

Hive fitness is a great gym! All of the staff and members are welcoming and encouraging. I love the variety of workout classes they offer when I’m not lifting on my own to mix things up. Definitely the best of both worlds!

Stopped in to train Saturday. Great staff and great facility. If I lived in the area I would definitely train here. Also I just wanted to give this place my $ after reading some of the negative reviews. …

Great Staff/Location/Equipment/Layout. Would recommend! I wish they had 200lb dumbbells so I could place them near my bench and then actually lift the 60lb dumbbells like I was "drop-setting"... I workout.

Amazing community, equipment, and environment at Hive! Had a great time during my medium-ish term stay in Charlotte. Gets a bit busy around 5-8 PM - the morning crew however always brought great energy!

Great gym, well kept and plenty to offer! Love the fact they don't make you wear masks. Masks have no place in a gym unless you just want to restrict your breathing and pass out. Highly recommend Hive!

This has engorging you could want. Boot camp, cycling, barre, yoga, cardio, barbells, machines, Olympic platforms, and squat racks. The owners are friendly. The gym is clean and spacious. Check it out!

Great gym, friendly staff and cool crowd. Currently, taking personal training sessions with Brent, he is very knowledgeable, attentive and truly cares about your progress. Highly recommend this gym.

I love this gym!!! I recently signed up for group classes and they are amazing. They offer a wide variety of options and the trainers are excellent and very knowledgeable. So happy I joined!!!

Stopped by for a daily fee workout on my back home to CA- to call their fee reasonable isn't doing it justice, awesome staff, awesome facilities, if I lived here this would be my place.

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PLACE. My favorite gym in Charlotte. Staff is EXCELLENT. Especially Liz and Carolyn. Very clean atmosphere and always fixes things in a TIMELY and EFFICIENT manner.

I have tried almost every HIIT/CrossFit gym in the Charlotte area and Hive’s Ignite classes are the most intense of all the gyms I’ve been to. Love the facilities and staff as well!

I love this gym. Great culture, great atmosphere, tons of equipment variety, and the best trainers/classes!! I have tested many gyms in Charlotte and this is by far the best one!!

Finally found a gym in the Charlotte area with a culture that feels like family! Clean and neat. Weights are always organized. Plenty of equipment even at peak busy hours.

Great place! Home away from home for the past 3 years! Great staff and constantly seeking to improve, whether adding new equipment or classes. Carolyn the GM is amazing!

Hive fitness gym is an awesome gym located in South End Charlotte. The staff are sensational and the equipment is amazing. One of the best gyms I’ve been a part of!

I’ve been coming here for years after they opened. The community and the instructors are what make this place a home and not just a gym for myself and my friends.

Great environment for beginners to experts. Multiple options (free weights, machines, classes, etc.) to fit any fitness goal. Friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Great gym, great people, great atmosphere. If you want a gym that has good equipment AND a good atmosphere, this is the place for you. Best gym in Charlotte!

Great gym, nice staff, and showers have pretty solid acoustics too. 6 stars, if possible, if they had an indoor swimming pool with diving board.

Best gym in the city hands down. Everybody who is cool works out here. They did a great job during the pandemic letting us still workout.

Started boot camp this week and I’m hooked. Kind and helpful trainers, staff, great facility, and the other gym members were welcoming!

I’ve been a member at Hive for 2 years and it’s the best gym I’ve ever been in. Great environment and even better management/staff!

Best gym I've been to in CLT. There is no better fitness community around. If you haven't tried an Ignite class you're missing out.

Hive Fitness has a great atmosphere and they always greet you well at the door! Great equipment and a cool environment overall!!

Solid facility with a lot of state of the art equipment. Shout out to Max at the front desk for being ultra helpful …

Absolutely love this place! Is a must try!!! They are a boutique fitness place that literally has a little of everything!

Honestly the best gym in Charlotte. Plenty of equipment to use and lots of space for free weight lifting.

Great facility, great people! Very friendly, classes constantly scheduled, everything well maintained!

Lol. They think they are equinox or something. $150 per month? Seriously? I would rather stay home

One of the best open gym spaces in Charlotte. Every time I come to Charlotte this place is a must!

Best gym in Charlotte for anyone from beginner to competitive bodybuilder and everyone in between.

Up to date equipment and friendly staff. I would recommend this gym to anyone who values fitness.

Hive is a fantastic gym, all equipment is up to date and staff is friendly. Highly recommend.
