WOW! What do I even say - I’ve been to a few other ISI locations and nothing compares to ISI Cornelius. You instantly feel like family and they seek you out to make you feel included and a part of the community!

Not the mention the workouts continually kick my butt!

If you haven’t tried ISI Cornelius yet, then GET IN IMMEDIATELY. This is the first gym in my entire life that I can say I have not missed a week in over a year. The workouts are great, yes, but more importantly, the environment and the sense of family / community that our fabulous owners have created is incomparable. These people motivate me, they inspire me and they push me to be the best version of myself. And I can honestly say that since joining this gym, that’s exactly who I’ve become. Thank you Jason and Deneatte - thank you for giving us a home. 🥰

I just started at ISI Cornelius about 11 weeks ago, and my experience has been nothing short of amazing. Every class has been fun, challenging, and motivating — thanks to the incredible energy from both the instructors and the members.

The entire staff — coaches, front desk, everyone — are friendly, welcoming, and truly passionate about what they do. The environment is super supportive, full of high-fives, encouragement, and positive vibes. It’s honestly one of the best workout communities I’ve ever been a part of.

If you're looking for a place to get fit, stay motivated, and be part of a team that lifts you up, ISI Cornelius is the spot. 10/10 recommend!

I’ve been a member at ISI Cornelius since Day 1 with almost 350 sessions under my belt—and I can confidently say it’s the best gym in Lake Norman!

The workouts are challenging, creative, and never repetitive—seriously, I’ve never done the same workout twice. The coaches bring the energy every single class, offering encouragement, motivation, and accountability.

From the music that keeps you moving to the community that feels like family, ISI is more than just a gym—it’s a lifestyle. Whether you're new to fitness or a seasoned athlete, I highly recommend joining the ISI Cornelius crew. You won’t regret it!

The coaches bring an unmatched level of motivation, setting the tone for an incredibly empowering start to the day.

What truly sets ISI apart is the sense of community and accountability. Every member lifts you up, pushes you, and encourages you to be better—both mentally and physically. It’s not just a gym; it’s a family that celebrates every win, no matter how big or small.

If you're looking to become a stronger, healthier, and more confident version of yourself, give ISI a try—I have zero regrets! 💪🔥 #IronSharpensIron

If you're looking for a community where you're ready to put in the work and have a strong support system behind you, ISI-Cornelius is the place to call your home away from home!

Growing up, I stayed active through fun activities like basketball and soccer, but I never spent much time in the "typical gym"—you know, the kind where you scan your card, walk in, and see a room full of equipment and people working out, but no one really there to guide you. For me, that experience made it easy to avoid the gym altogether.

A friend who was a member at ISI invited me to join her one Saturday morning, and after seeing her post workout videos online, I was inspired to give it a shot. What stood out to me right away was how welcoming everyone at ISI was—the coaches and staff greeted me with open arms and gave me a tour of the facility, which made me feel so much more comfortable and confident to work out.

The best part? The coaches take the time to show you every workout before you do it, which was a huge relief since I had no experience at the gym! They’re always there to cheer you on, offering support when you need it the most.

After my first session, I was definitely tired but also felt more motivated to come back and see what ISI had to offer. Whether it's your first session, birthday, or a milestone you’ve hit, the coaches make a point to celebrate your accomplishments with the whole group. You get a group photo, and if it’s a milestone, you're pulled to the front to perform a workout while everyone cheers you on!

Going to the gym has never been my thing, but being a part of ISI has truly been one of the highlights of my life. I’m so thankful to have found this incredible community!

If you're reading this and wondering if you should take the leap to challenge yourself—physically and mentally—come join us on the turf.
We finish every session with our signature chant: "Team on 3! 1, 2, 3...TEAM!!!" The energy is contagious, and it's the perfect way to wrap up a workout and remind you that you're never in it alone!

I'm so glad my neighbor suggested ISI. At 53 I needed to find something with rigor, yet was in balance with my abilities. As an amateur golfer I cannot risk injury. The trainers here are incredible and always make sure I am doing exercises properly while encouraging me to be my best. I met about age tells me I'm only 49 now! Yes!

After a brief stint of working out at home, I needed a community and a level up to my workouts. My gym bestie brought me one day and I haven't looked back! Love the challenging workouts and the always option to mod up or down. The coaches are the best and will personally challenge you in the best way. And the owners make you feel like family! As a former athlete, this is the best combination of strength and cardio to get you into shape. Love ISI Cornelius!

This is by far the most welcoming, a**-kicking, wholesome group of people that work at ISI! I have been to many gyms (even a former cycle instructor) and nowhere has made me feel more motivated. Every staff member calls you by name and greets you with a high-five. It truly feels like a community feeling and I could not be more grateful to find ISI.

I never dreamed I would find community, friends/family, fun, laughter all in a strength training program. What ISI has cultivated in the walls of their facility is nothing short of perfection. From the moment the door opens, you feel like you’re with your closest friends having the best time, sweating, listening to great music and being motivated by the best and most talented trainers. Think your form is not correct or you’ve never worked out before? Oh they’ve got you there! The training team at ISI is unparalleled and will not only encourage you, but make sure you are feeling like this group workout has a personal feel with the amount of attention to detail and form you get. Now, the rest of the team, the dream team support staff is just that, a dream! They are always there with a smile no matter what time of day and noticing your gains and goals celebrating right along with you. Lastly, the final piece of goodness that seals the deal is the cold towel at the end of what is possibly the hardest training sessions I’ve ever done and each one I’m more shocked I’ve completed; but the towel is the reward! Thank you ISI for creating my home away from home and a gym that I not only want to go to hit look forward to going to! #teamonthree

I've been attending the 5 am class at ISI Cornelius since they opened, and it's truly like being part of a family. Owners Denette and Jason make everyone feel so welcome and valued; it’s clear they care deeply about both their members and their team.

Facilities Manager Kelly keeps everything running smoothly, ensuring the gym is always clean and well-equipped and both staff and members are happy, which makes every visit enjoyable.

The trainers for the early morning crew are fantastic! Deshon is always full of energy, often dancing his way through sessions, which really energizes the whole class. Amy and Candy are incredibly empowering, providing both motivation and strong support to help everyone reach their goals. Their passion and dedication are genuinely inspiring.

I highly recommend this gym to anyone looking to be part of a community that motivates and supports each other. If you’re considering it, definitely give it a try!

I have been waiting for ISI to open in Cornelius for a while and it was so worth the wait. The owners and staff are amazing, the community is great and the workouts are super effective. I love cardio, but need to be pushed to do strength-based movements and ISI gives me that push. If you’re looking for a positive environment to step out of your comfort zone and a community that encourages you to, then you have to try ISI. Highly recommend
