Shape Up Fitness & Wellness Consulting

Shape Up is a great personal training facility. We recently moved from Davidson and had to switch from a very good workout place and find one in Charlotte. We looked at a number of places and decided on Shape Up.
My wife and I are extremely pleased with our experience. Shape Up provides a clean, modern, positive environment to work out in.
After 7 years of training we know what to expect and Shape Up has met all our requirements.
The trainers are all very knowledgeable and do a great job keeping things energetic and challenging. Our trainer Margo has been great at addressing «active old folks» aches and pains.
Shape Up’s owner Micheal Anders also publishes a health newsletter and blog that provide lots of good health and nutrition info.
Overall, Shape Up is great place.

My husband researched several fitness places to find one that would be a good fit for me (birthday present). He stopped looking when he found Shape Up Fitness and met Margo. Impressed with her Physical Therapy background and her presentation, he knew she was the trainer for me. He couldn’t have been more spot on. I have been training with Margo for about a year, three times a week, and I couldn’t be happier with my results. She is a joy to work with and makes my work outs challenging and fun. The entire staff is welcoming, never making you feel judged or uncomfortable. Rather, you just feel like you’re a part of a group that promotes health and well being in a very supportive atmosphere.

Both my wife and I have been going to Shape-​Up for over 5 years, Michael Anders knowledge of health and building my body is incredible. He know how to push and keep me on track. My wife has some health issues which he has greatly helped. Also, the folks that go there are so nice and everyone is very encouraging. I have recommended Shape-​Up many times over the years.

I’ve been training with Margo for about 8 or 9 months now and I have nothing but good things to say about her and Shape Up. Before coming to Shape Up I had no idea how to properly work out so I would never see results and get discouraged and give up. I immediately clicked with Margo and she’s taught me so much while being very motivating and encouraging. I never thought I would get excited about working out but I look forward to my sessions with her. Michael has also been great by helping me get my nutrition on track and pushing me further while being an all around positive and funny guy. Since I got engaged a couple months after I started with Margo, she has been very committed to getting me in the best shape for my wedding and it’s great to finally see results and feel good about myself. Shape Up has been one of the best decisions I’ve made for myself and I would recommend it to anyone looking to work with a personal trainer!

I had the pleasure of having Jason and Margo as my trainers at Shape Up Fitness. However, the owner, Michael Anders, and the entire staff their became my gym family and my home away from home. Everyone there motivated me to reach my goals along with giving me great advice.
I also enjoyed working out alongside many other people training and seeing their progress. The staff is incredibly knowledgable and do a full wellness consultation before setting up a program for you. I received many nutritional tips that helped me gain muscle and increase my protein. I also appreciated how flexible they were with my schedule.
I definitely will miss them but hope to return in the future!

wonderful trainers, convent location– the best personal trainer I have ever had! Would recommend to anyone trying to get in shape or tone up!

LOOK NO FURTHER! Shape Up Fitness is an A+ center run by excellent certified trainers, providing one on one or small group, non-​intimidating, motivating, attentive personal training in a very convenient, meticulously clean 3 room gym, including three bathrooms and a shower. I have been a dedicated client of Michael Anders for over 3 ½ years, and he has expertly guided me through workout programs specifically designed for me as I have dealt with blood pressure, neck and back issues, and more recently, foot surgery. He hones each session to work on my daily personal needs in a very dedicated, professional, and respectful manner, and offers nutritional advice, recipes, and newsletters. I have tried many other gyms, including the local YWCAs, during my 35 plus years in Charlotte, and can truly say that ShapeUp Fitness and Wellness Consulting is a «hidden GEM»!

Shape Up Fitness & Wellness Consulting is a best kept fitness secret in Charlotte. They offer traditional and nontraditional ways to get fit in a still-​expanding studio on Park Rd. I have received a wellness consultation there and participated in their bootcamp classes. You also have the option of one-​on-​one personal training where the attention is all on you and your fitness goals or you can opt for the bootcamp classes (what I did!) which are small groups between 5 – 10 individuals, where you will will feel like you are in basic training for the Army.:)
My experience with bootcamp and trainers:
The bootcamp exercises vary… sprints, jumping rope, circuits, abs, squats and more. It’s truly one of those feelings where it hurts but feels good. You know what I mean? You know you are working hard but it helps get results. You can burn 700+ calories in just one session! The owner Michael (who also trains) and one of the trainers Tyson (she really works you out!!) really care about your fitness goals and they do not yell at you like in real basic training!
In addition to training, Shape Up gives you nutritional tips and also has their own newsletter that includes articles based around fitness/​nutrition, as well as a healthy recipe that helps you to stay the course. I know when I get it in my inbox, it helps me to stay on track!
The prices are in line with other studios but the personal attention they give goes far beyond many fitness places.
