They are open 24/7 now which is amazingggg as someone who works an inconsistent schedule in healthcare I never know when I’m gonna be able to workout or make a class, so I love that. They truly have every piece of equipment you could think of no matter what your goals are. For me, Hive gave me the tools I needed to focus on building strength and gaining muscle after spending so much time focused on endurance training. It also had a lot of equipment that I could use to keep some of my crossfit skills if I wanted to, like the bars. They also offer personal training if you prefer more guidance or structure.
Everything is always extremely clean, including the bathrooms and showers. There’s plenty of space to get ready if you’re heading to or coming from work, which makes it really convenient.
Every coach and staff member I’ve interacted with has been genuinely friendly and welcoming, and it’s nice getting to know the familiar faces you see every day. I believe they also have a run club on some Saturday mornings, so there are plenty of ways to get involved outside of your normal workouts.
I also noticed that they host a program for adaptive athletes on some mornings, and I love that. Being accessible and inclusive is such a great resource for our community here in Charlotte.
Highly recommend this gym!!
I wasn't happy with my old gym so I looked around the area and did trial workouts at the best reviewed spots I could find. In the end, it was no contest. I saw some great gyms but Hive had the most equipment, the best equipment, the most space, and the most attentive and helpful staff.
I haven't tried the classes yet, but they've had one running every time I've been in and from what I've seen the classes are really legit comprehensive workouts with strong leaders and enthusiastic groups.
Big shoutout to Lynn at the front desk — super friendly and welcoming from the moment I walked in. That kind of hospitality makes a huge difference. Will definitely be back next time I'm in Charlotte!
Tried this place out going on 4 years ago, a lot has changed since for the better. New pieces are being brought in on almost a weekly basis, the staff and owner Bryson are super kind and hospitable.
Lots of amenities offered alongside group classes daily.
There’s even some staple pieces in this gym you probably have never used or will never run into again.
Oh and the leg day room? TOP NOTCH! Inspirational posters all around for any type of person to have a killer leg day pump!
I hate that I didn’t visit back sooner than I did.
10/10 recommend this place for anyone living or visiting Charlotte N.C.
