Trainers near Pineville

“My PT journey began with Architech Sports in Pineville during March 2024, following a torn rotator cuff procedure. Lindsay was absolutely amazing throughout the entire rehab process. So much so, I "insisted" she help rehabilitate my right knee replacement (10/2024) and my left knee replacement (12/2024). YES, 2024 was a busy one! One word...TRUST! Lindsay is always quick to answer questions and I know she has my best interests in mind. Sessions are never boring, with a nice variation each time. On those rare occasions when other staff members need to get involved (Tori and Emily come to mind), demeanor was always positive and friendly. Have already suggested three coworkers to the Pineville facility and would definitely recommend others.“

“This place is awesome, it has everything you need for training in your particular sport. We were there for baseball, but I saw golf, basketball, strength training, football, etc. Having an indoor facility like this really gives people options for practicing in all weather. Wish we had this in Rock Hill!“

“I couldn't be happier with Balanced Physical Therapy & Pilates. I've been working with Colleen for the past couple months to rehab a troublesome SI Joint. She is a natural teacher: intuitive, smart, encouraging, and really good at explaining the mechanics.“

“I started d1 in the summer and it was very supportive from the start. The atmosphere made we always want to lift more and keep coming. I would recommend it for anyone who wants to lift more, get faster, or just have a fun place to workout.“

“I have been working out at Alloy Blakeney for over a year now and have noticed wonderful changes in my body composition not to mention becoming stronger and healthier thanks to the trainers at Alloy! I would highly recommend working out here as the trainers are all very helpful and supportive and I have made some great friends in the process!“

“Rain is a very knowledgeable trainer and a great person to be around. I have been training with him for almost a year and always enjoy my sessions. I recently had to have surgery on my hip and Rain was able to tailor our program to improve strength and balance before my surgery. Post-operatively, I have been ahead of schedule! My physical therapist is amazed with how well I’m doing and is impressed with the workouts Rain creates. I was able to come off crutches two weeks early and am weeks ahead in my surgeon’s rehab protocol. Rain is the best of the best when it comes to high quality, individualized personal training.“

“I want to acknowledge my current trainer Derek!! I am so impressed with him. He listened, researched my condition and is adapting my training accordingly. He adds "personal" to personal trainer! The encouragement he provides is timely and not over the top. He deserves to be recognized for his commitment, determination and willingness to push the boundaries of traditional training.When I started with Phenom Trainers, I had a different trainer. He did an amazing job getting me moving again and for that I am forever grateful. But he left the company. At first I was hesitant to have a different trainer.Both trainers met me where I was at in my training journey. They are both passionate and very professional.I want to also thank Melissa and Thad for reaching out and getting me started!“

“What I like about the Exercise Coach is the strength training, the coaching attention, the advanced exercise equipment and the time efficiency.“

“I joined Burn almost 2 years ago and haven’t looked back! The community is the best and I love that everyday is different and challenging.“

“Performance Unlimited is the best gym I've ever been a member of by far. The facilities are nice and well-equipped, but the dedicated and knowledgeable top-notch employees / trainers / coaches are the true difference maker. I've been a member at PU for 2.5 years now (the longest I've stayed with a gym) and have seen great improvement in my strength, conditioning, and mobility. But, to get there, we had to overcome some prior injuries and weaknesses (i.e., low back pain) that required thoughtful training, programming, and a real attention to proper form. The tailored approach here is incredibly helpful both mentally and physically, and I look forward to continuing to improve with the PU team.“

“The key to being successful in pursuing a goal is to have a plan, consistency, tracking, motivation, and accountability. He makes it super easy to execute all of the above.“

“Great, clean, stocked facility. Phenomenal coaching. Great response time for inquiries. I was a drop in during the emergency relief effort and they made me feel right at home.“

“I just got a stretch from Rachel. And as a fellow stretch therapist I must say she is Amazing and very knowledgeable and informative. Look forward to my next session ?“

“I have been training with Brian for a few months now. The change in my strength and fitness is evident. Brian continues to keep my workouts fresh with different exercises each session. He takes the time to understand my goals so that he can create a successful program for me.“

“My time with Taylor was invaluable and absolutely what I needed to get me on track with my fitness goals. In every session and email, Taylor was very informative and gave lots of details for any concept or exercise he was explaining. He made it clear what was needed to reach certain goals, and has many methods of tracking progress. If you adhere to what he sets out for you, you will see results.His private gym is very clean and all of his equipment is well maintained. All workouts are 1-on-1 with him, which is great to have an environment where I could ask questions and get the direct training I need for my goals. He is very responsive to any communication you may have with him outside of your sessions as well.Overall, I appreciate Taylor for giving me a new mindset towards fitness and exercise. I have a better understanding of what it takes to reach my goals. He also helped me reached one of my main goals with working with him, which is to get better at deadlifting. I started in the low 100 lbs with incorrect form, but I am now up to 200+ lbs. His sessions will get you to where you want to be, if you put the work in!“

“John Sherman - Physical Therapist and Personal Trainer

After 12 weeks and 24 visits later with John Sherman, I'm better, stronger and more physically capable.

When I first met John, I was in pain, not sleeping well and felt so tired when I woke up. My spine and muscles were so twisted, tight and inflamed, I had trouble walking, standing, sleeping, etc. I'm thankful for my time with him and I'm thrilled with the outcome.

John being a physical therapist and personal trainer was just what I needed. He's a professional and will take great care of you.“

“Amazing amazing massage. Not only relaxing but theraputic. Been going to see Jeff for chronic injuries and always feel better, healed, and refreshed after each session. Had ankle issues with his help has helped with my healing“

“I am a primary care physician. 63 years old. I am also a lifelong athlete and sports enthusiast that has had his share of injuries & strains, orthopedic surgeries, etc. Plus I am getting older so things don’t heal as fast, and have some joints with nagging arthritis. So as such, I have both referred patients to, and have been myself to, many physical therapists, chiropractors, osteopathic MDs, orthopedic surgeons, acupuncturists, deep tissue massage therapists, and others over the years. So when one of my osteopathic MD friends suggested I see Yusuf, I just couldn’t understand what he could do that all these others couldn’t do. But I finally went during the summer of 2021 because I had nagging hamstring strain that was not getting better. He was able to rehab that injury back to health. But he did it by focusing less on the injured tendons/muscles, and more on the surrounding muscles and tendons, strengthening those areas, improving pelvic asymmetry and posture, and providing stretching and strengthening exercises. This allows the injured area to heal more rapidly and naturally.

Yusuf was previously an NBA trainer (I believe for ~8yr) who decided to open his own business. But he also has had training and a lot of experience in multiple other disciplines related to sports medicine, rehabbing injuries, and “functional orthopedic biomechanics.” That is sort of my own term, but basically he knows how all the muscles, tendons and joints function and work together, and also how they can be out of sync with one another, thereby either creating new pains/injuries, or exacerbating existing injuries, or preventing the normal healing process. He is able to keenly assess what the problem is very quickly. He has superb knowledge of the musculoskeletal system and its functions. He is able to formulate a plan and will work with you until you no longer need him.

So I will just tell you some of the things he has successfully helped me with: The nagging hamstring strain I mentioned; nagging calf strain; persistent low back pain; medial epicondylitis (golfer’s elbow). I have decreased range of motion of my left shoulder from arthritis, which has limited some of the things I want to do. Through manipulation, stretching and proper muscle strengthening, he has improved my range of motion enough that I can do some things I was not able to do, and to improve my ability to lift weights (effectively and safely). I have some arthritis in my left knee that has hampered me. He has helped me strengthen my leg and core so my knee causes me less problems. He even helped train me to get in better shape and function better as a beginner/intermediate kiteboarder.

I believe Yusuf is not just for the athlete. If you are someone who has a persistent musculoskeletal pain that just won’t get better, or musculoskeletal problems that cause you functional limitations, it is probably worth seeing Yusuf to see if he can help. I highly recommend him!

“On a scale of cotton candy to Brussels sprouts, Bloom Movement Artistry is a poke bowl, where you choose your own adventure. When I pulled into the warehouse parking lot for Bloom, I didn't know what to expect, but from the moment I walked through the door, I felt so welcome. I had previously emailed the studio to determine what level of class I should attend as I was visiting from out of town, and they clearly shared where I would fit with my experience. I felt like a kid in a candy shop as I considered all the classes I could take while in town. I really appreciated how the instructors wanted to see their students think as well as providing some theory points. If you're ever in Charlotte, definitely visit Bloom. In 6 weeks of traveling and visiting aerial studios, Bloom truly stands out as friendly, welcoming, creative, and solid in their aerial instruction (probably my favorite of the 13 studios I visited).“

“I found Advanced Therapeutics when I was searching for pain relief massage. Jeff is absolutely wonderful. His knowledge of anatomy and function makes the massage very productive. He finds the root cause of the pain that radiates where I feel it. I feel so much better after the massage. I decided to try yoga with Theresa. I've done yoga in the past but always in classes. The time and attention she gives in one on one yoga is amazing. She addresses issues that I didn't even know I had. She is always making sure that I don't get hurt and still get a great workout. I have massages from Theresa where she learns more about my body to make yoga more effective and makes me feel great. It is always soothing and relaxing. She has a great touch. Both Jeff and Theresa are great people and dedicated to their craft and clients. I always look forward to our sessions.“

“Just had my first session with Rich. Blown away by his knowledge and approach. The facility is great and the React machine is game changing treatment.Looking forward to making great progress with them in my fitness and injury healing journey.“

“Eric was a great guy and as is the case with the CrossFit community, great people in class. Shout out to Andreas and Joey for pushing me during that workout!“

“Ritter Sports Perfommeant I need to check it out and see what they are about, then I can give a great review and let people know what to look for.“

“I started training with Prescriptive Fitness in February 2002, eleven months after I suffered a traumatic brain injury in a car accident. When I started training with Betsy M, I was weak and had major balance issues. I could barely lift 5 pound dumbbells. Today, I deadlifted 245 pounds with the excellent coaching by my current trainer, Paul Sklar @paulsklarxfit.“

“I cannot speak highly enough about Flex5! I’ve been a member of countless gyms and have used many trainers over the past decade and none compare to Darla and Jack. They are truly invested in your well-being and progress and are so knowledgeable about wellness as a whole- not just physical strength. They continually go above and beyond, using their own personal time to research and provide guidance on personal topics we talk about during our training sessions. They honestly care about their clients and are a joy to be around. Would highly recommend!“
