I can’t say enough wonderful things about ISI. I joined 4 months postpartum with my second child and was nervous to start over, but after a call with Mallory I felt genuinely supported. Two years later I’m down 40 pounds, have more lean muscle, and—most importantly—have found a community that motivates me and makes workouts enjoyable. Everyone who works there is amazing! The coaches meet you where you are, push you safely, and truly care about their members. If you’re looking to make a change and want a positive, accountable environment, ISI is it.

Had my first workout yesterday. They had me on the ropes about 5 times in 50 minutes. I’ve had a personal trainer for the past year or so. He did a good job but I wasn’t at all prepared for this. I think the tough part is the cardio challenge to your system because you never really get a break. Which is a great thing once you get used to it, I’m sure. The staff and coach Allison were all super friendly and helpful, and very thoughtful and understanding. If you want to push yourself give these guys a try. Also, I’m a super busy person and the convenience of the app and scheduling is very accommodating. Looking forward to growing every day with ISI!!! Thanks guys!

I have been attending this facility for over a year and they have changed my life. With the help of the coaches, I have lost 25lbs and 11% body fat. I also dropped 2 dress sizes. This works if you have the commitment and they will help you. I'm all in and I'm so grateful for everything they have helped me achieve.
The coaches are wonderful and customize workouts to your personal comfort level. The music plays loudly but without it you hear ALL the grunting. The workouts can be grueling but I've grown to enjoy the challenge. If something is not possible because of past injury, they will offer alternatives. They also do random challenges, which help me stay interested. This is truly a no judgement zone. There is a space for kids to hang out, which was a big driver for me to begin with. The community you build is great and you get to watch people change their lives.

We have been coming here since it opened. It's the longest I have stuck with a gym or exercise routine. I love exercising here.

The best community there is! The nicest owners, coaches, and you leave feeling like you crushed an amazing workout! I love how they split and already create the workout plans for the class and it’s the easiest way to get a solid workout in especially after (or before) a long work day. My husband and I love going to Christian’s classes! He does a great job at encouraging everyone and creates a fun atmosphere for class.

I have been attending ISI for almost a year now! I recently took a class with coach Christian and he was awesome! He had a great playlist which made the workout even more fun. Definitely recommend this place!

I moved to the area recently and tried several gyms but decided to sign up with ISI Waxhaw after my first free session, for the following reasons.
Clean facility, Friendly environment, Excellent trainers (modify as I need), great workout formats, they offer a lot of class times which fits my busy schedule, they have classes on weekend mornings, they have a kids play area (big bonus), they give you a cold towel to cool off after the workout which is awesome. I highly recommend ISI Elite Training.

These workouts have clicked for me. Great people, love the format of the workouts, clean facility. The staff here is friendly, encouraging, and very responsive. I had stopped lifting for a year before I joined so all fitness levels are truly welcome. The coaches are motivating but not pushy and do a great job correcting form in an easy to understand way. Highly recommend!

After becoming a founding member one year ago, it’s time to write a review!
ISI Waxhaw including Mallory, Justin, and the entire team are superb and so easy to work with. Not only are the workouts fun and varied, but the members are welcoming and energetic. As part of the 5am crew, I love coming into class and getting motivated by the trainer’s energy, passion for their craft, and knowledge of fitness and form.
It’s also important to mention that Mallory and staff have gone above and beyond to work with me. As an example, when family was in town, Mallory made it easy for me to bring them with me to class. This included three 13-year olds and trainer Amy was so helpful and gracious and hid any frustrations she may have had. All of my guests loved the workout and my daughter is eager to join soon.
If you are asking, should I try ISI, the answer is YES! You will love it - and I hope to see you at 5am!

Not for the faint of heart. I took their trial class after over a year off of a rigorous workout routine. I do not recommend this at all. I could not complete most of the stages of the workout and could not finish. I told the trainer that I couldn't do it and was about to leave. She said stay and at the last workout stage, she gave me the smallest little step for me to modify the workout and went on coaching others. My legs buckled when I tried getting up. I tried again, and I LITERALLY couldn't. I was shocked at how I had hit muscle failure so quickly. So why 5 stars? Well, it seems like this is the type of workout you would do if you want to see a quick difference. I do wish they had beginner classes to get people prepared for what's to come. The trainer did a quick run down of the workouts we were going to do, and I couldn't remember most of them. They had me paired up with another client who had been working out there for quite some time. She was able to remember and complete them all. They said all physical levels come and workout here, but I felt like I was the only one not able to finish. Everyone was positive. They high-five each other. That's a dynamic I'd have to get used to, as I am so used to being in my own zone when working out. The trainer obviously can't have eyes on you the whole time, so that is also something to consider if you are injury prone. All of this said, I'll be getting a personal trainer to help build me up before I would consider going back.

I first began my journey with ISI Waxhaw during an outdoor workout. I fell in love immediately with the format! I worried that I would not be able to handle the workouts, but with guidance of the fabulous coaches and owners, Mallory and Justin Bryson, I was able to do it!!! The coaches offer a number of options, if you need them, and I definitely do. I would highly recommend you give it a try. The confidence and pride I now have in myself is because of this facility and the ISI family!

This is one of the best gym’s I have been to. The coaches and staff are always there with smiling faces, but don’t let that fool you….they are there to push you! Such a great environment for all people to workout at! See you on the turf!

I was nervous about trying ISI, I didn't think I fit the "type" of person that could do athletic strength-based workouts. I am glad I got out of my own way and took the leap. Not only have I changed physically but ISI Waxhaw has also drastically changed my mental health. You can tell the owners have poured their hearts into this facility and have a passion for helping people become the better version of themselves. You will always find owner Mallory in the gym, welcoming you with a smile and high five, coaching sessions, or joining you on the turf for a session. All coaches are amazing and you can't go wrong taking any of their sessions.The community that has been established is unlike anything I have ever experienced.
Give it a try! You will not regret it!

I love this gym and my gym family! IsI does an incredible job of creating an environment of support, encouragement and lots of energy! They do a great job of mixing up their trainers so you can experience different styles throughout the week. I love the variety of workouts and equipment in the gym - much better than other group training classes I've been a part of in the past.

I joined ISI Waxhaw when they opened in July 2023. I had heard great things about ISI, and ISI Waxhaw has exceeded that and so much more! Making that choice to join has been nothing but incredible! The coaches are top tier, the community is so inviting, and the workouts will challenge you no matter what your fitness level is! Highly recommend!!

This ISI has been my primary location since I began my membership in August. It has been such a life-changing experience for me, even after three years of prior weight-based strength training. The trainers of ISI Waxhaw are amazing people who motivate you to work the hardest you can. My only gripe, if any, is that this location is smaller than most others, but I never feel unsafe when classes are full. This is my favorite location for classes; I look forward to continuing my journey of increased strength and endurance with ISI Waxhaw.
