I wouldn’t be where I am without this gym and especially Coach Douglass. The knowledge he brought really started me down the path I want to be on. Forever grateful for this gym and staff.

I came to PRIDE Conditioning with one goal: get back to powerlifting. Doug and Lindsay have taken out all of the guess work for me and have consistently programmed my training in a way that's been enjoyable, progressive, and simple. I was out of practice for almost a decade and within 2 months, I'm lifting more than my previous 1RMs due to their ongoing support and encouragement.This has been the best gym community I've ever been a part of. Doug and Lindsay have been incredibly welcoming, generous, and down to earth. The members I've met are effortlessly the same. The environment is truly that of a family which adds to my desire to keep showing up and putting in the work. In a short time, this space has become a home away from home for me and a way to anchor down during the swells of life.For what it's worth, I've considered moving back to the Northeast in recent months and this gym and community have had such an impact on me that it's not even an option now.

Just fyi the owner of this establishment is on Threads insinuating that people in NC should take action against ICE

I’ve been going to Pride Conditioning for about a month or two now and I’ve honestly enjoyed working out here more than ever. The workouts are challenging but motivating, and the atmosphere makes it easy to stay consistent. Coach Doug has been a huge help, always taking the time to correct my form, answer questions, and push me in the right way. Thanks to him and the overall vibe of the gym, I actually look forward to working out, which hasn’t always been the case for me.

Beautiful, large space with full powerlifting and oly setup (tons of calibrated plates and competition racks!). For strongman training, there is a yoke, log, heavy sandbag, tires, two sets of farmers handles, and an axle bar. PRIDE is the best place in Charlotte to train for your next strength competition or simply get started on the path to more strength and athleticism.

Me, my girlfriend and my friend stopped into Pride Strength and Conditioning on a Saturday afternoon for an SBD day. The owner and gym had an awesome and comforting environment and I recommend anybody from the nearby Charlotte area to stop in for a day to try the gym!

Best powerlifting gym in Charlotte! Great equipment and owner is awesome.

Up 20lbs and going (2023- current). Def the most rewarding journey yet. Moved this way from SoCal and found myself mentally lost. Figured since I'm a 115lb street hockey player, how hard could it be putting in work at the gym? Nope. Didn't realize how weak I was, couldn't do a single pushup. For about 9 months, got in at 6am with some fellow gym-mates and Coach Doug put us TO WORK. From Sept to Dec, I was finally able to do my first sets of push-ups. The end of 2024, did my first competition hosted at the gym with the help of Coach Doug & Coach Lindsey. Hit PRs I didn't think I'd ever make from my first year of training. Coming into 2025, I'm more confident in myself than ever, & weighting a solid 135lbs. Coaches got me on a more personalized schedule and I have THE HOTTEST pumps. These guys have adopted me into their family and I'm grateful I've found a home away from home. Best of all, they don't ever give me a reason of why I should quit. Whenever hesitation creeps onto my face, they just stare me down and say "NO, YOU GOT THIS". Whatever Goals you have for yourself, they make it their priority too. This gym really has it all.

Loved this gym! The owner was welcoming and you could tell the athletes and clients all were welcoming and had a family atmosphere!! In town for a USA team combine and picked this gym and will continue to use this gym when I come to Charlotte.

Started training here a little over and month ago. It's an amazing gym with amazing people. They really want you to hit your goal whatever that may be.

Love this gym! One of the best decisions I made last year was to start training here. There is a variety of equipment to use, and I was connected immediately to an elite powerlifting trainer who I adore!

On my second month here and loving it. Classes are small and focused on lifting weights with some cardio work too. None of the "culty" feel of a lot of box gyms; generally very low-key and genuinely focused on doing good work in the gym.

Best decision i ever made was signing up!

Great training and all the equipment you'd ever need

never too crowded here! couch douglas is a good dude and is always there for advice or guidance. my life has improved after joining this gym.

So far I have had a great experience at Pride. The small class size has allowed me to get feedback from Coach Doug and improve my form. Everything is always clean and well organized in the gym. The training style with structured classes but overall schedule flexibility makes it easy to make sure I can get workouts in effectively.I really appreciate that Doug gave me pricing information BEFORE my initial consultation. It’s so frustrating when a gym wants you to come in and do a consultation just for it to be wildly outside of your budget. Pride is transparent and very reasonable when it comes to pricing.My only critic is that the first class “starts at 6am” but usually starts a few minutes after 6. This can sometimes cause me to need to leave prior to the end of the workout to make it to work on time, but overall not a big deal.Overall I’ve had a great experience and I plan on sticking around.

Pride Conditioning is by far one of the best gyms in Charlotte. Coach Doug and Lindsey are consistently making sure your form is correct so you don’t hurt yourself (not many gyms continue to monitor your form). I joined about 3 months ago and can already see the progress.You better come to work because the workouts are challenging. They offer 3 small group classes to choose from and the 12 noon class is the most competitive and motivating 🙌🏽Thanks Coach Doug and Lindsey
