About the gym…
Established in 2009, we are one of the longest running, private single owner fitness facilities in the Charlotte Metro area. Both Doug and Lindsay have competed in Muay Thai, boxing, kettlebell sport, powerlifting, and olympic weightlifting. We started with just a handful of clients, one rack, and some dumbbells, and over a decade later we are one of the largest most well equipped gyms in Charlotte.
Pride is also home to Prolific Bodywork (Sara Sumner LMBT) and Boxing with Kyle (Kyle Harrell).

Now Doug competes in Olympic Weightlifting and powerlifting.
