| - Flex + Fit has the best of both worlds - the beautiful facility and excellent amenities of a world class gym with friendly and helpful staff and knowledgeable instructors.
One of the neatest things about the gym is that it offers unusual and unique classes that I haven't tried at other fitness facilities, like Ballet Barre, Hot Yoga and Air Fitness.
Though I was a complete novice in each of these classes, the teachers helped me feel confident in what I was doing through their cueing and form correction. I love that I can try these new classes, because it keeps me interested and engaged in my own fitness because I'm also mentally stimulated by trying something new.
I also can say that each of these classes definitely kicked my butt! The Ballet Barre classes may look like a bunch of girls doing plie squats next to a barre, but it is a serious workout - I am always shaking and sweating by the end! I am also completely addicted to Hot Yoga now, where I never even bothered taking a yoga class before moving to Charlotte 8 months ago. Finally, I took a Air Fitness class (which is a body-weight resistance training class structured on silk hammocks that hang from the ceiling) on Tuesday - it is now Friday and my abs are still sore!
I love the healthy cooking concept as well, but I just haven't wanted to give up one of my fitness classes to try a cooking class - I hope I'll be able to sample the chef's creations at some point. They have "celebrity" chefs come in from popular restaurants like Cowfish, Aquavina and Chima - yum!
As someone who used to work at a world-class gym, I can fully endorse Flex + Fit as a fun, hip place to work out and definitely an up-and-coming fitness hot spot in Charlotte!
