I love everything about MADabolic and recommend it to everyone I know! For years, I was solely a gym hopper/Classpass user because I liked to mix up my workouts/didn't feel like I could get the full-body workout I needed that offered both cardio and strength training from one studio...until I found MADabolic in 2021. I'm now a member, and couldn't be happier. Not only has it transformed my body like no other workout, but it's also a perfect blend of challenge and fun. Last but not least, all of the coaches are INCREDIBLE! Not only are they great, supportive coaches that clearly know what they're doing and truly care about making sure each person feels seen and is working out safely, but they're also all just so genuine, down-to-earth and funny! These are just a few of the many elements that set MAD apart from other boutique fitness studios, but the list is endless. Keep doin' what you're doin', y'all, cuz you're killin' it! :)

My family just moved from another city where I was a member of another MAD location, and during our move I was back and forth a lot. Jay went above and beyond to keep me signed up for classes at the CLT location for the duration of my previous location membership. In the midst of all the moving chaos and starting an intense new job, having the consistency of my gym routine was a lifesaver. Without that top notch customer service I would have probably neglected my fitness during our move- which would have negatively impacted other areas of my life during a time period where I really needed to be at my best. I just officially signed up for a Charlotte membership now that my previous contract is over and joining another gym was never even a thought. MADabolic excels in it’s programming and it’s accessibility and I just wanted to highlight how that includes customer service. Thank you Jay!!

I truly believe MADabolic is the best gym in Charlotte! Not only are the trainers great and like family, the workout classes are only 50 minutes--including warmup. When I first moved to Charlotte, I attended the YMCA but I was not motivated and I would go to the gym and spend more time socializing than actually working out. I didn't know what to do because I didn't have anyone to tell me what to do. I couldn't get myself to actually work out for more than 20 minutes, if that. At MADabolic there are only 20 people per class so you feel like you have a personal trainer and they are wonderful at critiquing. Also, each day is a different workout so it makes me want to go everyday (I get bored with workouts when they're the same). I have noticed a tremendous difference with my body and I thank MAD for that!

Listen. I’ve been around trainers, coaches, teachers since I was a kid for football. It’s always been about lifting as much weight as possible and being as fast as possible. Madabolic’s experience is top notch. I don’t have much to compare to class wise but I didn’t feel the need to look elsewhere. I’ve realized that at the level of football I was at, they’re starting to tailor their workouts and fitness science more in the direction of the coaches and regimen at MAD. Which speaks volumes. I’ve already learned a bunch, fixed some technique errors, and feel great everyday. It’s a class that can push you with its workouts alone, but what makes it so great is the community and members that push you along with it. Highly recommend and easy to accommodate for all fitness levels!

Beginning as a spin instructor earlier this year and fresh out of college, I continuously studio/gym hopped around CLT using ClassPass, trying to find the right place to commit to, train consistently, where I genuinely felt as though my entire body was getting what it deserved when I wasn't instructing. I visited MADabolic and after my first workout I immediately thought: "Cancel ClassPass, this is it for you." The programming is intense, intentional, and extremely one of a kind. I've never felt discouraged or as if I didn't belong with the other awesome athletes in the room. In just over a month of me working out here, I have seen so much growth not only in how I feel physically but mentally, too. Thanks to MADabolic. Can't wait to keep getting better!

I don’t know how y’all do it, but if the class has 5 people or 25 people, the training staff sees EVERYTHING! It’s commendable. I 100% appreciate the correction, and the nod when I do get it right. The fact that the trainers know who you are, what you’d like to focus on/improve/fine tune and check in to help you get there is awesome. Definitely nice to walk in to a space of respect and knowledge, and continually see personal growth. Extra credit to those that offer killer playlists that hit at just the right time on those "extra fun" days! The team connects with everyone in an authentic way and it’s really nice to be part of something so wonderful. Even if that dang ski erg has made way too many appearances the past month :)

MADabolic has completely turned around my lifestyle for the better! There's definitely a bit more of a pep in my step these days. Not only do the consistent high intensity workouts naturally energize me, it's the environment too. The team at both South End and Elizabeth locations perform at 100% every class, making it so easy to hype myself up too! The best part - they are SUPER focused on time management and when we show up, we show OUT. With their class plans, I am done with my day by 7pm throughout the week feeling light on my feet and ready for tomorrow. I can confidently say that I live a MADlifestyle now...and for the foreseeable future!

Everything they do is systematic- I used to hate working out.. now I CRAVE IT - Another life changing -I also used to say that I was the opposite of ‘a morning person’ (even though I have a six year old and sevenyear old and a full-time Monday through Friday job that starts at 8 AM that could care less ) and I loathed waking up each and every morning- the sound of my alarm made me cringe. Since joining MAD. not only am I working out 4 to 5 times a week, but I am also attending, the majority of the time, the 5:30 AM class☺️! I depend on this place for my mental and physical health, and they really really do a great job!

I really owe MADabolic most of the credit for making Charlotte feel like home so quickly. I joined MAD my first week moving here and have been extremely satisfied with everything - the rigor of the classes, the trainers (special shout out to Hannah, Beth and Carl!) and the community. If you're looking for classes that are structured, yet unpredictable and rigorous, trainers that are fun, motivational and attentive to proper form then you must try out MADabolic. Having a gym where I feel comfortable and challenged is very important to me, and MADabolic is the best gym I've ever belonged to!

The real deal for fitness. The owners care, the trainers care, and the culture here is fun yet serious. The trainers are very cool people AND make you feel at ease. You get your money's worth and then some. This workout is what you make it: if you want to push and grow your ability, you'll be able to maximize your fitness growth exponentially. The cool part is that even those that are just getting into fitness can make it their workout too. Excellent trainers who keep you honest and help you move correctly. Very clean, organized workout facilities with unique movements and equipment.

I’ve been going to MADabolic a little over a month now & it has been so rewarding in so many ways. From all the great trainers who always make me feel so welcome and are always helping me with my form and giving me tips, to the people I’ve met in class - this is the gym to join in Charlotte hands down. I haven’t stuck to a gym routine in years and I am proud to say I go to Mad 3-4x a week and am always looking forward to my next class. Highly highly recommend to anyone still trying to find the right fit for them in Charlotte!

Really loving my experience at Madabolic so far — I’m relatively new to the gym, but quickly made the decision to sign up for a year membership given I could tell from the start it would be a good fit!! The gym has a great vibe (music is always on point), really good focus on form (which I haven’t seen as focused anywhere else in CLT), and my favorite part is the variety of exercises & the equipment that Madabolic has — totally helps change up the workouts from day to day and keeps its interesting & fun!!

Medabolic is the best strength training I have done in a long time! I really enjoy how it incorporates so many different movements and methods by including boxing, biking, kettle bells, medicine balls, jump ropes, etc. After a week of working out, I feel very fit because of the balance to the routines including varying work to rest ratios on the days of momentum, anaerobic, durability. I have received excellent instruction and the equipment there is really nice. I highly recommend it!

Can't say enough good things about this place! I bounced from one workout to the next without much success. I like something that uses some form of a HIIT model as that always was the most fun for me personally. I tried Crossfit, FlyWheel, Daily Burn and a lot of different stuff I could do in the gym myself but nothing has kept me coming back for more like MAD! The staff have quickly become friends, the workouts always push me and I look forward to the next one as soon as I'm done.

I haven’t found a gym that I was willing to commit my time or money to on a regular basis until I found MADabolic SouthEnd! I appreciate that the trainers have real experience and it SHOWS! Each trainer has their own personality and they’ll let you know it! I also feel like I get one-on-one attention but with the benefit from working out with a MADass group of people at the same time. If you’re looking for a strength & endurance gym that offers so much more MADabolic is your spot!

Having a physical disability, I have always felt fitness professionals were apprehensive to challenge or provide me tips for a specific exercise (outside out of a 1:1 sessions I had years back). MADabolic trainers were the first to ever do this for me in my 17 years of working out. It only took me that long to have someone show me how simple it is to take my feet out of the foot plate after using the Rower. The people here will challenge you no matter what!

I enjoy the class atmosphere and philosophy of the program. Each class is challenging with athletic movements focusing on power and strength, but not without paying attention to form and technique. Coaches actually coach during class and welcome discussion outside the gym. I do wish there were more blog posts on the website - most are full of little gems to keep members motivated on their journey. It's been the best programming I've ever been exposed to.

Huge fan of this place! I love the instructors, the music, the stations and the movement. There is a planned schedule and the fitness instructors are so knowledgable with their demonstrations and coaching through out the work out. This place changed how I think about workouts and I love visiting their locations in other cities. It is great for beginners too so don't be scared to go, you'll be hooked. They're also on classpass which is how I found them!

After the $10 for 10 days intro I was hooked! I use ClassPass to attend MADabolic classes and always enjoy the variation in type and speed of my workout. If you are looking for a full body + cardio workout and love to sweat come to a MADabolic class! Great instructors, facility, music and class participants. Wish there was time for a post workout stretch/cool down but I sometimes do it on my own. Love seeing the same faces each week!

I've been incorporating MADabolic into my routine training for years and everytime I participate in a class I leave with an accomplished feeling. I always learn how to push myself to the next level while in class and the trainers are top notch in making sure you are always showcasing the right form in the movements you are performing. Great experience and I highly recommend for anyone looking to challenge themselves.

Madabolic is the best gym I've ever been to!! It is so focused on getting stronger and ensuring safe movements. The instructors give you a demo, but then they watch and correct your form when needed. It's fast paced so sometimes you don't even realize 50 minutes have gone by. Everyone is really nice as well and the culture their is really not focused on who is better than who, but how can you yourself get stronger.

MADabolic is in a league of its own! The trainers are amazing - they truly act like coaches, giving you the corrections you need so that you can both perform better and keep yourself safe. I love that the atmosphere is upbeat and fun (because the playlists are amazing!) but the focus always remains 100% on the work. Only 5 weeks in and I know I don’t need to try another gym in Charlotte - MADabolic is it!

Absolutely love this gym, the trainers are amazing. They pay attention to everyone in class and give great advice during class to help enhance your workout. The way they have their program set up is the perfect mix of cardio and lifting keeping your body from plateauing. I honestly didn’t know I was capable of half the things I’ve done in this gym over the past week I’ve been here.

After trialing MADabolic for $10 for 10 days, I immediately signed up for a membership. MAD trainers are friendly and professional and motivate you to keep pushing through the whole workout. I love the variety in workouts and the style of the training. I have been to a few gyms since the pandemic, and MAD goes the extra mile to keep members safe and equipment clean.

Environment was very clean and equipment top-notchBrandon was so friendly and welcoming at my first visit (As well as Finley)Class was the perfect combination of strength, endurance & focus. Playlist was pretty great Great all around atmosphere, honestly. People were friendly, instruction was careful and informed and the class itself kicked my ass. Well done :)

MADabolic is an incredible place to workout with incredible trainers! You can expect the workouts to be different everyday and for you to feel like you have sweated all your negative energy out every time you leave! The trainers are very attentive and make sure you have to appropriate form! They also push you! Expensive but definitely worth the money!

This is the best gym in Charlotte. The facility is perfect - new, clean, open, well lit, top end equipment. The instructors are educated, energetic, and very personable. The technology - the app, the check-in system, the process for purchasing - all high quality. And, the workouts are perfect - as hard as you want them to be and always different.

I am so happy that I ventured outside my comfort zone of spinning/barre and tried MADabolic. The instructors are great and while the classes are tough, they are fun. I definitely “felt” it after each class, but in a really good way. Whether you’re just getting back into working out or are in great shape already, this class will work for you.

I first signed up for the one month option with MADabolic and had a great experience. I recently renewed my membership for a full 12 months. The trainers at MADabolic are super knowledgable and fun and helpful. They make you feel very welcome and also safe. I would definitely recommend this gym for anyone looking to get strong and have fun!

The instructor gave very clear explanation on the movements and as a first timer, I felt adequate enough to follow the routine. High energy throughout the workout, very encouraging. The level of intensity of this workout might be too high for me, and I got sick the next day. But will def try a second class and recommend to friends.

The best workout in Charlotte and always something different! Just had a really tough one with Jay and he's extremely patient and helps you get the technique down (as do all the coaches)! I needed a workout that incorporated more strength training and this class is it! If you want your buns to be toned for the summer that is... ;)

The equipment and facility are well maintained. The staff members are enthusiastic and always happy to help the participants utilize the correct form when doing the exercises. I like the variety as well. No one likes to do the same workout over and over again... and with this gym it's never the same! I highly recommend this gym!

This is without a doubt the best place in Charlotte to get a serious workout in. All of the staff is incredibly motivating, friendly, and have no problem getting in your face if you need to correct something, which I really appreciate! I don't know if I could recommend a better place to train and workout in Charlotte if I tried!

MADabolic is like no other. A different workout each day focusing on different parts of the body. Well thought out intervals to improve and strengthen the muscles. By focusing more on primal movements, it only betters daily movements allowing us to thrive, not just survive. The staff is focused on only improving my performance.

I just took my 5th class at MADabolic via the 10 days for $10 new member deal and I can't say enough good things about it. I have been working out consistently for the last several years and just needed a change of pace. MAD's programming is exactly the change I needed. Can't wait to start my membership!

MADabolic is the perfect blend of coaching and working. I always feel so comfortable and safe knowing all the instructors know what they are doing and will correct my form to protect and encourage me. I completely recommend this to anyone wanting a little more grit from the average workout class style.

Good class times throughout the day. Great instructors, not too hands on but willing to assist and correct form as necessary. Great music. Lastly, I appreciate the training schedule. I like how every class is different so you’re constantly training different muscles but it’s structured and intentional.

An amazing gym! All of the trainers are outgoing & friendly, they remembered my name after my first class which made me feel super comfortable. The workout is unique and class goes by fast. One of the few gyms that I’ve been able to motivated myself to go to during COVID. Overall, highly recommend!

Great HIIT style gym. You can tell a lot of planning goes in to the programming of workouts. Love the variety of movements as well as intensities. Additionally, all of the trainers are very knowledgeable and not afraid to challenge you, regardless of your ability level. Would definitely recommend!

Madabolic Southend is awesome! The staff is so helpful and supportive. The trainers are great and explain each of the exercises prior to starting so that you know exactly how the moves work. You also have a chance to try out the weights and stations prior to picking your level. I highly recommend!

I have been a member at MADabolic for years now. They are truly a first class establishment with coaches who really care about their clients. The workout program is very unique, and I always leave knowing that I got a great workout in. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a new gym!

I love that it is not a lot people cramped in one room, that the different stations give your body a different style, adds variety to the workout. And the instructor is a plus as well, she was always smiling with positive energy radiating from her. Absolutely loved my experience!!

Such a great workout! MAD is different from your typical group workout classes by how the trainers TEACH you. You can tell that your fitness success is just as important to them as it is to you! You always leave each workout feeling accomplished. Can't recommend this place enough.

I cannot speak more highly of this place. The trainers are awesome, the program is amazing! During class I feel pushed to work my hardest, but it always feels safe and controlled - it is so well structured. I look forward to working out now - it's often the highlight of my day!

I can't say enough great things about Madabolic. I have tried workout programs and classes all over Charlotte and this is by far my favorite! The program structure, coaches and customer service are all top notch! Do yourself a favor and sign up for a class, you won't regret it!

Great variety of workouts focused around intense athletic training and conditioning. Well-equipped staff of trainers who are not shy to form correct, challenge and encourage Madabolic athletes to go to the next level. Community of winners that stretches the comfort zone daily.

I like that the trainers take time to ensure you are performing the moves correctly to get the most out of your workout. Holly, Finley and Carl were all very helpful with each workout class. Also the music playlists are great and help keep you focused through the workout.

I was in town for Memorial Day weekend so I decided to get a workout in. The workout was pretty intense and different than anything I have done before. The trainer, Rae, did a great job explaining and coaching all the participants in the class as well. I'd recommend it.

Very inviting atmosphere, 'no-frills studio or check-in process, strong-a$$ coaches who inspire, very loud music,(which is necessary), programming model is simple yet effective, and workouts vary, social media presence is relevant and very well done. Highly recommended.

MADabolic SouthEnd has a very professional staff and clean studio. The classes are motivating and the instructors place a large emphasis on correct form. It's a great place to create a strength training routine if you don't know where to start or need an extra push!

I felt like the workout was very well-rounded. The instructor was supportive and motivating and came over to me when I needed assistance, which you don’t find in many gyms. My body was put to the test, but I had so much fun at the same time. Great experience!!

Former pro soccer player here, and I haven't had a workout like this since said glory days. I'm convinced this is the only 'gym' in Charlotte that pushes you to your limits. This isn't for snowflakes! Jab, Cross, Hook, Rear Hook! Good Luck (Taken movie voice)

Started coming to MAD with their 10 day unlimited trial. The class is a perfect fusion of strength and HIIT. The instructors are awesome and gave me several different modifications for my wrist. Music is great and energy is contagious. Think I found my home.

MADabolic is a fun and well thought out workout program! The coaches are motivating and always monitor form. I love the various days (durability, momentum, anaerobic) that challenge me and incorporate a great balance of activities for continued progress.

I cannot say enough good things about MADabolic. It is a great atmosphere and fitness program for anybody, regardless of your current level of athleticism. The trainers are extremely knowledgable and the program is truly one of a kind. Highly recommend!

MADabolic has the best coaching staff in Charlotte! Every coach is so incredibly motivating and will push you past your comfort zone to grow stronger both mentally and physically. HIGHLY recommend MAD if you are looking for a gym in the Charlotte area.

Great atmosphere! Awesome coaches and workouts that are always different & always challenging! The location is easy to get to - the only drawback is they lock doors right at the classtime start - which can be hard when traffic hits! Overall - love it!

I LOVE MADabolic! All of their trainers have been super nice and super helpful. And no two classes are ever the same, so it never gets predictable or boring. Also, Ive noticed a physical difference in my first 6 classes! I feel so much better!

MADabolic is an incredibly well thought out workout program! I love how the various days (durability, momentum, anaerobic) keep me challenged while focusing on important key elements that help me gain lean muscle! I highly recommend joining!!

Love Madabolic. Great facilities, motivating trainer, and a great ownership team focused on ensuring a well thought out workout. The results have been amazing, and the body never gets too familiar with what is coming next. Highly recommend!

Great workouts in a great atmosphere. The trainers are incredibly knowledgeable, personable and helpful (s/o Dakota, Kirk, Darius, Sissy + Jay!). They do more than just lead a workout session - they help you do your best/be your strongest

Have been looking for something like this for a long time. Perfect combo of cardio and strength and each class is different. Trainers are all awesome, music is great, gym is always clean, and you are in and out. Elizabeth MAD is the best.

Madabolic is not just a lifestyle, it is a living, Breathing Embodiment of awesomeness. Like other gyms they say they are unique and they are. However that is not what sets them apart, it is that they are uncommon. What I mean by that is

The programming is well thought out and coaches are top notch. They put a lot of attention to detail with performing movements with good technique instead of just moving quickly. Dakota helped improve my ski erg technique and efficiency

I tried madabolic as a break from several years of distance running. Definitely a great way to cross train and target muscle groups I don’t usually work as hard. The upbeat music and timed sections really make the workout fly by!

This is the best workout hands down! During the 4 1/2 years I have been there, I have never done the exact same workout. I never get bored and look forward to each day! The trainers are all amazing and I feel soooo much stronger.

Coming from another state and at the same gym (happily) for 5 years, MADabolic has proven to be my 'go to' gym away from home. The staff is professional and knowledgeable and the workouts are ever changing, challenging, and fun.

Amazing gym that will challenge you and support you through whatever it takes to reach your goals. Everyone is very friendly and I cannot wait to take my next class!! Don’t pass up on the opportunity to try it out ♥️ …

Madabolic is by far the best gym/work out in Charlotte. With the ever changing work out schedule & H.I.I.T program you never do the same routine twice. Every one of the trainers is extremely supportive and very knowledgeable.

Great workout! Trainers are friendly, professional, and actually TRAIN, providing tips, correcting form, and adjusting for injuries and skill levels. Plus cleaning and mask protocols make it feel safe during COVID times.

Amazing gym! Joined right after my 10 days for $10 because I couldn’t get enough. Every day is different and the workouts are so intense. Highly recommend joining if you’re looking for a new gym and something different!

Well run, extremely well designed, integrated fitness plan that fits into a busy work schedule. Good for any level and the workouts are short enough that you can really push yourself, but difficult to encourage growth.

I’ve had a great time working out at MADabolic so far. I’m sore after each workout and I love the variety that each day brings a different focus. It’s a great balance for this lifelong yogi. …

Love this place and the workouts! Recently finished my first couple of classes. The trainers are very attentive and motivating. Glad I signed up for a month here - and will definitely be continuing my membership.

Don’t have many words other than this place, their fitness model, and coaches have changed my relationship with working out and food. Strengthening my body and healing my mind all in one place. So grateful.

Hands down the best workout anywhere! I love the programming and the trainers. I am always challenged and never bored. I feel stronger every time I leave and always look forward to the next workout!

Hands down my preferred workout in Charlotte! Amazing coaches, challenging workouts, banging playlists. Their coaches really care and get to know you and want you to get stronger. Highly recommend!

I absolutely love the programming here. The coaches are amazing, highly qualified, and care so much about helping you do your best. The music is fantastic and the environment in general is great.

Can not speak highly enough of MADabolic. Have enjoyed every session I’ve attended. The variety of workouts, the trainers, facility, and community all keep me coming back for more. Check it out!

The crew at Madabolic has been welcoming and done a great job explaining how the workouts are structured. I love the programing and I've gotten a great workout each time i've been to class!

Love this gym! The coaches are really encouraging and each class is completely unlike the others. Its a great structure with a good balance of HIIT and strength training. Highly recommend.

Best workout in Charlotte! Love the instructors they always make sure you have the right form to ensure you have the best workout. You get in you get out and you feel stronger every time.

Great workout. Even if you're out of shape! It's definitely a challenge but a good one and totally worth it! Kim was super helpful and makes you feel comfortable throughout the class.

Really enjoy the upbeat pace at MAD. Every trainer is extremely helpful + knowledgeable when it comes to assisting with form. Also, I can’t not mention the playlists.. immaculate.

Madabolic is the first gym-type situation I ever liked, and I actually love it. Super friendly and the mix of different workouts keeps thing interesting for my mind and body.

I really like the workouts so far. They are challenging and the instructors have been really helpful. I am excited to keep trying the combinations and different exercises.

I have loved working out at MAD over the past month. Great workouts for any fitness level and the instructors are very helpful with helping you learn technique.

HIIT with new workouts everyday which is great for those that get bored easily. Small class size so the trainers can help everyone with form and motivation.

Efficient workout that is practical and you see results! On top of the awesome workouts, the instructors are sweet and knowledgeable. Best gym I've been to!

I’ve absolutely loved my experience so far. Great structure of a workout, great trainers, and great music. It makes me feel like an athlete again!

Loved the trainers and the program! Great coaching throughout the exercises and challenging for all athlete levels. Shout out Sissy she's da bomb!

Fantastic workouts and great instructors. I have been working out here for about a month now and every workout has been different and challenging.

I have loved being a part of the MADabolic community! Great music to pump you up and the trainers are awesome. Plan to stay with this gym!

MADabolic SouthEnd is great! The staff is very welcoming and supportive. The workouts are challenging but doable for anyone. I love it!

Love this gym! The trainers are fantastic and make you feel like part of the family, the workouts are fresh and new every class.

LOVED IT. Very tough, but patient, knowledgeable, and willing to critique. If I wasn’t moving, this would be my home gym!

Love this gym! The workouts are always a good challenge and the coaching staff is energetic and so informative.

Fantastic in every way! Challenging workouts, amazing trainers, enthusiastic community. 100% recommend.

trainers are top notch paying detailed attention to each client as necessary. well planned workouts.

Grateful to Jay for the technical corrections and enjoyed the strength training experience.
