After suffering from chronic pain for a couple of years, I was introduced to John to help get back my strength. It’s hard to find someone who is so extremely knowledgeable in an area of expertise, but also has the same level of care and compassion. John’s heart for wholeness in health is something I never thought I would find in a fitness community. I am stronger (physically and mentally) today because of the support, wisdom, and patience of John. My body is not easy to work with, and he continues to come up with unique and personalized ways to get me stronger, without setting off my pain. I am forever grateful for this business and what they do SO WELL!

I had the opportunity to meet John a couple months ago and came away very impressed. He is passionate about the mission of his business, education, and I could tell he deeply cares about his staff and clients. Fast-forward a couple months and last week I had the opportunity to meet with his staff. I can clearly see the values John has are shared throughout his team. Continued learning is central so they can best serve their clients. Would highly recommend this gym if you value individualized attention for your fitness/performance needs!

Our 11 yr old son has been attending PU for several years and it has been a great experience. They have highly qualified trainers for multisport athletes. Our son has has become stronger and faster. Most importantly, PU has helped with injury prevention. They make my son feel so comfortable when hes there, its like a family. We highly recommend PU for any athlete of any age!

Ive never been able to maintain going to the gym or using home training programs for more than a few months before I became bored. I am now going on 8+ years at Performance Unlimited mainly due to their philosophy and outstanding staff. The training is individualized and the staff continues to keep things fresh and exciting. They are constantly updating their facility, equipment, processes and always looking for ways to challenge their clients to improve their overall well being. I greatly appreciate the programs, energy and support they provide.JOB WELL DONE!

If youre an athlete and you live in Charlotte. PU is the place to train!! Takes you to the whole different level. I totally love working out here. all the trainers are excellent and very friendly!! The training program is individualized according to your needs and sports you play. Thats the greatest USP of PU!!

Performance Unlimited is a great place to get healthy and get in shape. My wife and I did training here in the mornings three days a week - and got we both got in the best shape of our lives while doing so. The trainers that you work with at this facility are second to none. I highly recommend Performance Unlimited to anyone!

I have been in athletics since a very young age, and as a result I’ve had my fair share of injuries which has left me doing some wonky things in my movements, despite doing the “appropriate” physical therapy following the injuries. These weird movements lead to more injuries and pain, as I’ve continued to work out and participate in sports as I’ve gotten older. They are so attentive to detail they have been able to fine tune things to not only correct these movements, but make me stronger, more powerful, and most importantly, stable and safe in my movements and sport.It’s always a good time when I go in, and the environment is so supportive, from staff and members alike. This is exactly the place I’ve been looking for and I can’t say enough great things about it.

PU couldn’t be a better place to improve. Whether it’s in your respective sport, health, or lifestyle this place is next to none. The facility coupled with the knowledge and expertise of the staff is the perfect combo to get better. My future goals would not be in sight if it weren’t for the guys who have helped me out here. Could not recommend this gym more.

After several nagging injuries, I was looking for a gym that could help guide my workouts in both a safe and effective manner - Performance Unlimited delivered on both fronts. And throughout the pandemic, they’ve been great in supporting clients both in person and virtually. The gym is set up in a unique way so there is plenty of space for everyone to spread out these days, too. Do your body a favor and make an appointment for an evaluation!

I have been going to Performance U for about a year now. The thing I like the most about it is the staff and other clients - it becomes a lot of fun believe it or not - inside the 4 walls of the gym. I attend 3x a week and this was not always easy for me - I have tried many gyms and faded after a short time. With Performance U, its the results and the relationships that keep me coming in, morning after morning. I cant say enough good things about the gym, about my fellow workout partners, and about the trainers here - its like no other gym youve experienced and you need to try it in order to truly understand this.

I just received amazing BodyWork Therapy from John at Performance Unlimited. John took the time to assess my issues and advise his plan for our session. He is a very talented therapist and I experienced immediate relief both during and after the session. He took the time to explain everything to me and I appreciate his care. HIGHLY recommend John and Performance Unlimited!

If you want programs customized to your fitness needs and injuries, 1-on-1 coaching and an inviting gym environment, come to Performance Unlimited! Ive been to many different gyms in the Charlotte area. YMCA, JCC, LA Fitness, Fitness Connection. Performance Unlimited is by far the best in terms of coaching, customer service, equipment and cleanliness of the facility. Coaches give you the attention you need. They are very knowledgeable in fitness, nutrition, mobility, health and wellness. I couldn’t be happier here!

Yes, I am a coach at Performance Unlimited...but a review is relevant because my journey started with consuming the companys mission and training programs as an avid fitness enthusiast. Once my senior year came and I had the chance to attend an internship here, I lived and coached what the company preaches. Now I am lucky enough to be a part of the PU Family and look forward to helping clients look, feel, and live their best.

Unparalleled attention to detail - they meet every individual where they and build very specific programs for each. Their ability to create, challenge and work with each to maintain their goals is incredible and so appreciated. A variety of offerings with very knowledgeable staff in a true community setting.

This is the best fitness center Ive ever used - by far. Staff is extremely knowledgeable and personalizes fitness programs for each member. Ive also been very impressed with how they and the members have handled the COVID situation - the facility has more than enough space for distancing and the upgraded cleaning/sanitizing routines have allowed for an almost normal workout environment (hard to workout in masks, but we are all doing it).

More than just training, the PU team excels in complete fitness. A true wellness practice.

Performance Unlimited is a hidden gem Ive recently discovered. PU is more than a gym; it is a lifestyle transformation center. The trainers and staff there are knowledgeable, engaged, always available, and passionate about helping you achieve your true athletic potential. Its an encouraging community that Im thankful to have found.An added bonus is the on-site sports rehab facility, called PRA, if needed for any injuries/recurring pain. Rehabilitation at PU is a breeze... you tell the personal trainer what ails you, they refer you to a PRA therapist -- and together they develop a holistic game plan to help get you back into action ASAP. By having the physical therapist communicate directly with the trainer, this makes the recovery process very simple and efficient.Contact Billy Ward for a facility tour, I assure it will be worth your time.Thank you PU family!

The Performance Unlimited team is top notch. They are incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and passionate about their work.

This place is fantastic - John and staff are true fitness professionals in every sense of the word!

The training at Performance Unlimited is top notch! Since the pandemic, I’ve really enjoyed the new app that allows me to do my personalized sessions when and wherever is convenient.

The PU team is awesome! Very knowledgeable and great facility and pricing structure.

I cant say enough about the training team. They are highly committed to helping me achieve my fitness and health goals.

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Performance Unlimited. This is THE best athletic/fitness support system you could come across in Charlotte. These guys are professionals and it shows. They appeal to a wide audience from kids all the way up to professional athletes. I want to give a special shoutout to Dylan Rhodes. He changed my life with his encouragement and discipline that helped me reach new levels. I’m not one to normally write reviews, but I had to help my dear friends at Performance Unlimited out. 11/10 would recommend. 6/5 stars.

My experience with Dylan Rhodes at this gym has always been phenomenal. The staff here are dedicated, professional, and are always bright and energetic. Definitely worth the investment!

Awesome facility with top notch trainers who are committed to the cutting edge. Movement testing and comprehensive personal evaluation before designing functional strength programs. I love this model of 3 personalized programs per month, constantly refreshing and remaining dynamic. I have become stronger here than at any other time in my life. Supportive healthy fun environment. I really cant say enough about how much I love this place and the people. Highly recommend.

I can’t say enough great things about this place. The coaches genuinely care about each and every client that walks through the door. Their endless passion and knowledge for what they do is refreshing and unmatched. They truly are the best!

Awesome trainers and an amazing environment. It’s definitely more than just a gym here. As a soccer player, I’ve seen major improvements on and off the field when it comes to performance. They give you a detailed breakdown and assess your strengths and weaknesses on what and how they can help you improve.Whether you’re an athlete or someone who is new to the exercise world - the trainers are very personable and focus on your entire journey, from start to finish. They really care bout the longevity of your health. I highly recommend PU to anyone from beginner to advanced levels!

Performance Unlimited has been my number one choice for all of my athletic needs before and during the season. Their staff is very passionate and easy to work with, yet very demanding. Regardless of the purpose of the visit to the facility, each staff member demands 110% focus and commitment to getting better everyday. Performance U has added more advanced equipments and machinery used for recovery, injury prevention, and progression. I also like that they offer other services such as yoga and martial arts. It’s rare to find a facility that offers so many essential services to pro athletes and the general population without compromising its quality and professionalism. Excited for the future at Performance United!

WOW ! The way John works closely with my medical team has given me hope that I can avoid shoulder surgery. I am working out for the first time in months with full confidence! John is careful to strengthen me in ways that support my injury and are making a recovery possible. I sleep without pain! I never knew I could do so much strength training using so many different approaches. Thanks Performance Unlimited!!

I highly recommend Performance Unlimited to anyone who wants to get in shape and become more aware of the mind body connection. I joined the gym in August 2019 because of a hip issue I was having and could barely walk without pain. The Personal Trainers I worked with are miracle workers. After a few short months I was able to walk for longer distances without much pain. They worked with me by strengthening all the supporting muscles in my spine, hip and legs. I love going to this gym, even at 6:00am in the morning, because of the positive energy and the great music they play to get you going. Joining the gym is my health insurance policy. By keeping my body in the best shape it can be, it will take care of me for years to come. If I can do it at 73yrs old, so can you. Great people that work at PU!

Good people. But I biased.

This has been the best gym experience I’ve ever had! The staff knows their stuff! They train everyone from professional athletes to beginners. Even if you’re not there for a personal training session, the coaches are always accessible for questions or help in making sure your workout is done correctly. I always leave feeling accomplished and refreshed after every session. I highly recommend this gym!!

Really cant say enough about this place. Next level coaching, service, and the community is amazing! They are truly concerned about helping you be your best self physically, mentally, & emotionally. The sports training is also GREAT. I have seen kids make really great progress in short amounts of time. Highly recommend!

Awesome atmosphere and knowledgeable coaches! Billy is the man and is very motivating. After I reached my first ever goal Dylan gave me a few ideas of other goals to knock out and it’s keeping me driven!

I have been coming to Performance Unlimited for the last few months consistently. These guys care about you more than a standard trainer ever would. They really do care about your overall well being and what your true goals really are. Since beginning my workout I have dropped 30 pounds in 3 months and I have also gained back mobility in my left shoulder after a separation years ago. They saw that I had those issues and helped gear a better workout to improve my lifestyle.

One of the most unique places to train in Charlotte - the coaches are uniquely focused on helping you reach your personal best through every stage of life. Lots of long term members and collegial environment where everyone is extremely supportive of one another in and out of the gym. Highly recommend!

Over the last 5 years, Performance Unlimited became my one stop shop for all things fitness and performance related. From surgery rehab to preseason training to in season maintenance, the PU family took excellent care of me and my body. Their attention to detail sets a new industry standard. If only there were more like them!

Ive been lucky enough to be a part of the Performance Unlimited family for 5 years now. Its easy to say your gym is different but its another thing to actually see what different means. From running 5Ks together, building a community garden, supporting members through major life events like a new baby and weddings, and challenging each other on the constant journey of health and wellness this place is unlike anything else around. If youre committed to reaching a specific goal, are open to guidance along the way, and want a support system to be there then this is the right spot.

This is not a gym; it is a hub for true development, recovery, and prevention in whatever you might possibly need.You could be just wanting to improve every day to day movements, recovering from a new or old injury, wanting to be a better athlete, or simply wanting to get in shape. Performance Unlimited is truly everything under one roof.You will leave everything single day with the tools to go through life in a way that you couldn’t even imagine a human could possibly move and feel like ( Of course, in a good way!).

I am so impressed by this facility and their staff. Their incredible attention to detail and support that they offer to each client is hands down platinum standard. They truly care about the health and well being of each and every member. I have been an intern for a few months at this gym and I am constantly in awe of how they personal train their clients and their immense knowledge. You simply cant find their unique style of training anywhere else. They provide more than just exercise, it is a life changing experience. Each client has an individual exercise program tailored to their specific needs, such as working around or to improve injuries. Or helping you to stay competitive in your sports performance, they do it all. Each staff member is patient, kind, caring, passionate about what they do, and very easy to work with. This isnt just a gym, its medicine for the body, and the people they serve are more than just clients, they are family. I pitty the fool that doesnt give this gym a try :)

This place is by far the best training facility for my daughter. She has been going here for about 7 years and has loved everything about it including the staff who are the best at what they do. There is always positive energy and direction when you need help. This kept her drive for soccer and lead to her playing at the collegiate level.

I have zero hesitation recommending Performance Unlimited to anyone who is ready to make a change for the better in their life.This is not your average gym! It is more like a family where you can learn, grow, and surround yourself with amazing people who care about more than just sets and reps.I came here because I was tired of trying to do it all on my own, and wanted help finding the most efficient ways to improve my strength, mobility, movement quality + technique, and conditioning. The PU team continues to help me with all of that with my individual program every day, and Ive also improved in my mindset and nutrition along the way.It is awesome knowing without a doubt that Im going to get better every time I step inside.Every one of the staff is committed to helping you grow and prepare for whatever you want to take on outside the gym. The knowledge and experience that John, Billy, and Marko share with us on a daily basis is world-class. They are always ready to customize things as needed, give feedback and tips on your form and movement, and answer any questions that come up. The staff is determined to master their craft, and it shows as their coaching and programs continue to evolve over time.The members here are fun to be around, and are always encouraging! Performance Unlimited provides an environment where its fun to come every day and make some forward progress!

I HIGHLY recommend this facility. This place is packed with state-of-the-art equipment to utilize, along with a great, goal-oriented, positive-minded staff that is full of determination and wisdom to get you to where you want to be. Athlete or not, if you’re looking to better yourself in all aspects, this is the place to go.

Been a member now close to 2 years. They tailor the programs based on the needs of the clients individually. I have grown tremendously in my understanding of fitness and body movement. Have strength training, Fitness classes and now deep stretch classes. Bravo John well done. Ive also enjoy interacting with the professional soccer players as well. Class Act!

Quality facility with even higher quality coaches. I attended a Mobility class and a Conditioning class, both instructed by Dylan, and was blown away by his knowledge of the human body as well as his ability to relate to me as a person. Regardless of whether your fitness goals are recreational or professional, these coaches will never make you feel like you’re on the journey alone. Above that, Performance Unlimited’s highest merit is the culture they have created. Never have I walked into a gym or training facility and made a personal connection as quickly as I did here. Performance Unlimited will be around for a long time and it will be extremely worth your time to give them a visit.

This place is more than a gym, it’s truly a place to alter your lifestyle for the better. They have a knowledgeable staff with many different backgrounds. Plus, they serve some top notch coffee!

This facility is amazing! Why? Knowledgeable Staff, state of the art facility, variety of programs and well maintained. Attention to movement, classes that are fun and challenging and a friendly workout environment 😎 Did I mention the coffee bar? Yum! Highly recommend 💪🏻

Great staff with reliable knowledge on how to treat their clients properly. This gym has the right amenities and coaches for youth through college sports training and also provides in depth 1-on-1 training if you choose so. They are more than just a gym its almost family.

I have been going to Performance Unlimited about a year now- and I love it! John and Billy are great!! The method behind their training can’t be beat. They are truly about building up the body from a healthy, safe and individual standpoint- the “why” behind each exercise. The personal training is tailored to your body’s needs first (get healthy, build a solid foundation and stay healthy with safe with proper technique) and then to your personal goals (physical appearance). It took me a minute to understand that (bc I wanted to “get right to it”) — but I am grateful of how things progressed.

Performance Unlimited is an incredible place with a great atmosphere and experts in the industry to ensure a quality and effective workout! I love this place and visit every time I’m in town! Highly recommend to anyone looking to promote their own health!

Both my mom and I have been coming to PU for many years. Now that I am in college, my time here throughout the year has been greatly shortened. When I am home the trainers act like I have never left- they always have personalized workouts and are willing to work with my college athletics schedule to help me become the best athlete I aim to be. The people I end up missing the most are the other members you meet because they become family when you work out with them nearly everyday- they ask when I will be home, keep up with my college team, and we all look forward to their free competitive workout classes on Saturday mornings, when we are all together.

Incredible facility with incredible staff. Owner John Lytton is extremely committed and it shows in everything that Performance Unlimited does. It really is much more than just a gym as it is a community of people looking for the best in their health and their lives. It is a great for everyone ranging from high level elite athletes to anyone looking to workout and better themselves in any way.

I can’t express the energy that exists when walking into Performance Unlimited. The trainers create a personal workout just for you. I have made new friendships and enjoy going to work out.

Best gym in Charlottte! If you are tired of getting injured at Crossfit, come to PU for true training that is customized to you and your injury history. This isnt a bodybuilder shop... its for regular people that want to be healthy and fit. They make it fun and provide a family atmosphere. Give it a try for a month... you wont be disappointed!

I have been a Performance Unlimited client for more than 4 years. I am 53 and although no longer playing sports competitively, movement and staying active remains a priority to feeling healthy and energized. At my age however I dont have the same physical capacity or recovery than my younger self. Over the past 4 years my experience working out at PU has been nothing short of awesome. The PU team is committed to creating effective individual training regimens designed specifically to my body needs and abilities. PU’s understanding of the human anatomy and body movement really takes the process and approach to training and movement to the next level. Because my goals and what my body can do are unique, the PU team works closely not just with initial assessments, but on an on going basis with a designed workout program specific to my needs. Creating quality movement remains the staffs priority. Progression and progress are important, but not at the risk of injury, or compromising quality of movement. For me this approach is not only a pathway to reaching my fitness goals, it has elevated my own body intelligence and accountability which has helped me take better care of myself both in and out of the gym.I am very grateful for PU and the people that make it a truly unique and innovative fitness community.

This is the best gym I have ever been to. The trainers work hard to personalize your experience. The people there are really supportive and fun to be around. There are fitness classes and stretch classes (my favorite) as well as one on one training sessions that are helping me move better than I have in years! I can’t recommend this place highly enough. Whether you’re already fit or you want to get started, this is the place to go.

For me regular visits to the gym began in college and continued in 1981 with my move to Charlotte NC. For years, it was 5:30 am trips to the local Y, which was followed by more detailed programming with personal trainers. I have been with Performance Unlimited since the day they opened and can certainly attest to the fact that PU is second to none. They work with you to establish personal fitness, nutritional lifestyle goals. The members become your fitness family; the owner and trainers become your fitness mentors. Performance Unlimited is simply the best of the best.

The team @ Performance Unlimited is top notch! When I think of the entire team, words like expertise, personalized service, positive energy, and great knowledge come to mind.

My family and I have been members of Performance Unlimited for more than 5 years. The training and focus provided by the staff is second to none. Programs are tailored to meet the individual needs and altered regularly to keep workouts new and challenging. Highly recommend.

I have been going to Performance Unlimited for 10+ years now and the facilities, staff, and services offered have only gotten better. Performance Unlimited has a positive, upbeat, and supportive atmosphere that anyone can thrive in.

I have worked out here for 5 years and love it!! They were a huge part of my development in high school to be able to play college soccer at a high level.

The very best trainers I’ve ever worked with, and I have tried to keep an active lifestyle my whole live. John and Billy create workout routines that fit my specific needs, deal with my injuries and work in strengthening muscles that were off balance. I feel accountable, empowered and genuinely cared for at PU. This is not just another gym, or a trendy name to try. It is a place where I get inspired to work in improving different aspects of my life. It’s a fun environment with fun people to work out!One of my best friends insisted on me trying PU, and I am very thankful to her for making me try it (I wanted to keep on working out near my house), and I am so glad I did! I found my people!

Summer 2018 we drove an hour each way, several times a week to get our 15 year old son (who played at an MLS academy) to training sessions at Performance Unlimited. As a result of our time with the coaches he was definitely stronger and faster and just moved better. More than that, they have been a part of his life even when he moved back to his academy. We are HUGE fans of PerformanceU and believe it’s well worth your time and money to invest in a summer or season of training with them rather than one week at a camp.

Very professional staff and really immersive experience

The most knowledgeable people in this field. Everything is detailed and specific to meet your needs.They have made me a better athlete and thankful for them.

I’ve interacted with Dylan and John numerous times and they always treat everyone professionally and cordially. This place cares about the community and are always trying to help!

This place is the PREMIERE place to train in not just Charlotte. Hands down! John and his staff are the most informative and most detail oriented crew. If you are truly invested in making wellness your focus, this is the place for you.

For me working out has always been a way of life. Growing up I was a 3 sport athlete and continuing into adulthood I continued on always searching out ways to remain active. Joining Performance Unlimited in 2013 opened whole new doors for me. At almost 46 I am at the strongest, healthiest, fittest that I have ever been. Recently having a serious shoulder injury I went through a period thinking that all my hard work would vanish. John & Billy created exercises, mobility work and adding in strength to help get it back to where I need it to be. I know that without them I would still be cradling my arm and watching things pass by. Through the work at Performance I can keep with my kids AND provide a healthy role model for them.

Awesome place to get the training that you need. Very helpful and patient. They evaluate you early and build a program that starts you out based on current levels and you progress weekly.

A customized experience that is fully supported by experienced trainers. Cant help but get results.

I love Performance Unlimited because it works. A+ for results, facilities, location and personnel. Back surgery fixed my leg pain but I suffered from chronic low back pain for nearly 3 years. I tried numerous fixes but none of them gave me the results that John, Billy et.al. have given me.Thanks to them I am now swinging a golf club again w/o pain and can now perform numerous, routine daily activities without any pain. Thank you!!

Awesome! One stop gym for all of my lifestyle fitness needs! Bill Lytton

The extremely knowledgeable trainers kept me fit and prevented further injury before my shoulder surgery. Post surgery they carefully managed my fitness program to rehab my shoulder which now functions better than before my injury.

John, Dr. William Graham, and their team at Performance Unlimited are some of the very best I have worked with in my athletic career. John and Dr. Graham have rehabilitated my injuries on numerous occasions, facilitated my pre-season and in-season training, and allowed me to gain valuable experience as a part-time coach.But, more than that, John has been a friend. He and each member of the staff genuinely invest themselves in the client and their development, both personally and physically. The attention to detail at Performance Unlimited is unparalleled. The coaches are consistently on the forefront of research in order to optimize the training experience - whether through FRC, ELDOA, or a number of other certifications unique to Charlotte - but also to enhance the client’s development outside of the gym with a comprehensive outlook on nutrition, stress management, and sleep.Simply put, whether you are in pain and burnt out on the fitness industry, need to rehabilitate an injury, want to get healthy and strong, or are searching for a place to maximize your child’s (or your own) athletic development, Performance Unlimited is the only place to go. It is more than a gym!

Performance Unlimited is like a family. They have your back, will console you when your down, and give you a kick in the butt when you need it! Thanks for what you are doing!

Personalized training from well-trained professionals who are always up on the latest research, science and new approaches to fitness, nutrition and wellness.

Great gym facility with a knowledgeable and friendly staff. An excellent option for anyone in Charlotte looking to make a positive change to their health and fitness.

Awesome training environment alongside guys who are passionate, motivated, and focused on building the custom-made training program for your needs!

Great staff who will help you with any of your workout needs. I usually go in the mornings and I have found it is never too crowded

With my high school and college athlete kids, PU helped rehabilitate injuries and strengthen their repetitive use muscles.My wife and I have rehabbed injuries under their watchful eyes. In addition, they have helped me develop a system that greenlights workouts when my body is ready and slows me down when it isn’t.Their routines and stretches are backed by voracious appetites for continuing ed and knowlege improvement.They have allowed us to continue improving physically even in our 50s.

Great individualized approach. Good people. Great value.

Training facility for kids and teens. Primarily soccer players but could benefit any sport. Trainers are sincerely invested in the kids.

Great Facility with amazing trainers .

Very knowledgeable and helpful. Would recommend to anyone who asks about nutrition, exercise, etc.

Performance Unlimited is an indredible facilty offered services that most people don’t understand until you visit, John and his staff are always on the leading edge of fitness, rehabilitation and lifestyle health.

Best gym in Charlotte! The staff, the facility, the personalized workouts...all great!

Personalization and careful attention to clients are cornerstones of Performance Unlimited.

Great place to work out

The experience at Performance is unlike anywhere I have ever been. The staff really care about your well being and progress!!!

I started training with Performance Unlimited almost two years ago. As an over 50-year-old woman who had not done much other than walked in my neighborhood for the past 10 years I wasn’t sure what my goals were other than to try to do something to prevent physical decline and injuries. The PU team worked with me one on one developing a plan to methodically improve my fitness in all aspects, from cardiovascular fitness to muscle growth. It has been a gradual approach, always challenging me but never pushing too hard so as to not cause injuries. I amastonished by how far I have come! The team feels like a family, always full of encouragement, and although it can be hard I always look forward to how I’ll feel after training. I am stronger than I’ve been in 20 years! This place is truly amazing.
