  • As a college athlete Char has everything that you look for in a gym to take your game to the next level. With a great combination of strength and speed training along with working on flexibility. The trainers make it feel like a second home and have great hands on training the whole session. I can't recommend this place more for a place to take your game to the next level.

  • Char provides their athletes with the best coaches, facilities, and community in order to promote hard work, improvement, and success. Char's specific athlete programming, and their ability to adjust to specific sports, leaves athletes with constant improvement in the gym, but most importantly when they perform. I am so happy that I found Char and I can't thank Rock, Donny, and the Char crew enough for all of their dedication and support.

    Orly Sedransk

  • Char is a place I love to going multiple times a week where I’m offered the opportunity to work with coaches who care about my development as a person and athlete. Not only that, especially with the addiction of the new space, I have all the resources available at my feet so I can grow and maximize my time in the gym. I would highly recommend char fitness club whether at be in a group or individual setting.
