H.P.T!!! High Performance Training

Fantastic experience: Great gym and owners! Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Visiting a friend in Kannapolis NC, and went to the HPT gym. This gym is so clean, and all of the weights( plates and dumbbells) are brand new. There is a powerlifting section and a women's only room. The owner, Mike, is a beast and super friendly. Check this place out.

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere, great owners and all around great gym! Unlike other gyms this place is very well maintained. Everyone knows to put attachments and weights back, and clean up after themselves. For a lifter like me they had all the equipment I could want. Came in for a quick workout and ended up doing a full workout. This is just the back room with the hex overhead lights and all the chest and shoulder equipment one could ask for. Dedicated deadlift pad and squat rack. Will definitely be back here next time I’m in town.

Fantastic experience: Best gym in town! Especially for women, there’s a women’s only weight section and it’s been perfect to help build my confidence up! The community here is incredible, the owners are so sincere and you can really tell they care about each member. There’s a hidden upstairs with even more great equipment and space to train!

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym with awesome owners!

Fantastic experience: The staff, the people, the environment…. everything is perfect!

Fantastic experience: This gym is amazing! The fact that they have a women’s only weight room is awesome! The equipment and environment is top notch! The owners are very nice and welcoming! Would definitely recommend this gym to anyone!

Fantastic experience: Great Gym!

Fantastic experience: I'm not typically drawn to working out, especially when I'm traveling, but my friends introduced me to HRT, which seemed worth trying. I was in the area for a short work assignment. Sondra and Mike were incredibly helpful and supportive, motivating me to exercise regularly and adopt healthier eating habits.

Fantastic experience: Sondra wrote me a personalized meal plan. I have followed it to the best of my ability for about 3.5 weeks and have already lost 4lb! I feel better too. I have more energy, and feel more focused. I am very happy with my results so far.

Fantastic experience: Great local gym with quality equipment and a very friendly atmosphere. I have been training with Sondra. She is very focused on your goals, nutrition and form while training and lifting.  Sondra and Michael are very kind and a dynamic duo in ownership of HPT. They welcome you in, and openly share there passion and first hand knowledge of fitness as well as valuable exercise routines and nutrition. If your looking to move little or a whole lot more — This is the right fitness place for your goals!!!  Not being very confident or knowledgable enough in a gym, Sondra has given me a much needed transformation experience and challenged me toward my fitness goals. I have increased my strength and shed much needed lb’s. I whole heartedly recommend HPT or personal training with both Sondra and Michael.

Fantastic experience: The best gym around, good equipment, all that’s needed for a great workout and amazing atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: We love HPT. My husband and I were digital nomads and found it to be the perfect place to get a great workout in for a few months! The seller? That incredible functional space upstairs with the green, tire, and ropes available for use. The owners, Michaela and Sandra, are super welcoming and have created a wonderful space to support your physical health!

Negative experience: The other reviews are either paid or I was singled out in my experience with Sondra this evening at this gym. I’ve been there once before with a member and signed their waiver and got the tour etc, then worked out with my friend (the member). That same friend invited me to come work out with her so I went of course, she frequents my gym as well so I thought no biggie. Their site says that each member gets 1 guest pass monthly or they offer day passes for $15.00. That’s the only reference to guests in their policies. As I’m working out, Sondra curves herself into my line of sight to say, CAN I HELP YOU? and proceed to ask me who I am and that I can’t be in there and it’s after 7 and I can’t be in there. I explained I’m there with their member and she dismisses me and then goes over to run through the questions to my friend. I left as soon as she turned her back to me in disgust of her behavior.. but was told that she didn’t offer up that guest pass or outline anything of the sort until my friend also left, feeling unwelcome at a gym where she’s a “member.” It’s no wonder why it’s empty, how do you become a member when they don’t allow guests?!? Just wild!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member at H.P.T.!!! for 3.5 months now and I love it. Mike and Sondra are both great. Mike trained me and Sondra helped me to develop a solid nutrition plan. All the members are super cool and friendly without being uncomfortably weird. The place is never too packed so you can come in and get a great workout in without bumping into anyone. There's plenty of equipment and space to hit any fitness goals. I’ve lost 56lbs since being there and counting. Plenty of parking right across the street. Very safe and secure with fob entry and cameras. And, they never ask folks to leave reviews. They just give good service and guidance and let you do your thing. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: This is a top notch gym with top of the line equipment. The owners, Mike and Sondra, are very experienced and can help you achieve whatever levels of fitness you're reaching for!

Fantastic experience: Overall HPT is the best it can get in kannapolis when you first join you are treated very well it really does feel like family once you get go know everyone their are very supportive people highly recommend!!!!!

Fantastic experience: I have been coming here for over 6 months. I always appreciate Mike checking in and seeing how I am doing. He trained me the proper way to use the equipment. ( I was a novice and didn’t have any idea where to even start. I like that all the equipment has instructions. I also like that Mike takes careful care to have them from the same manufacturer. And he is always updating. I don’t know if all work out places take this kind of care (I highly doubt it). The place is also always clean and he constantly is straitening out. I highly recommend.it.

Fantastic experience: Mike and Sondra have been extremely kind to me, are welcoming, and are both knowledgeable in their fields of fitness. The space is nice, and full of good machines. They are the best kept secret in local fitness, in my opinion.

Fantastic experience: HPT is a wonderful gym. I love that they have a women’s only weight room and plenty of space for a variety of exercises. Sondra and Micheal are always wonderful and helpful. 10/10 recommend HPT. It’s the first gym I’ve actually enjoyed going to my entire life

Fantastic experience: My husband and I absolutely love HPT and recommend this facility to anyone who is looking for a gym to join. The membership is extremely affordable. This gym has the best equipment available for use. Squat racks, smith machine, free weights, and top of the line cardio machines. Very clean facility, amazing owners that give back to the kannapolis community. Don’t hesitate!! Join HPT!!!

Fantastic experience: This is a great place! Sondra is a great personal trainer, she knows everyone's name! I feel safe with the cameras everywhere! Give it a try, you won't be sorry!

Fantastic experience: They have a good clean place. Enough equipment and weights to do about whatever kind of training you can come up with.

Fantastic experience: After over a year of not working out, I was excited to find HPT last spring, and am looking forward to watching it grow!

Fantastic experience: Mike and Sondra at HPT are great!! They are always so encouraging and motivating. Joining this gym and having their guidance has been a real confidence boost for me. I would recommend this gym for EVERYONE! The gym is also very clean and always inviting.

Fantastic experience: The most complete set of free weights, machines and general purpose space that I have seen in a single location. It is compact but not small. The "women only" section is smart and thoughtful. I love the emphasis throughout the place for Training, not just working-out.

Fantastic experience: I love this gym! Sondra & Mike created a very clean & fun gym environment.

Fantastic experience: I'm not a member but went there for a kickboxing class with my wife taught by Shelly. Layout and location is awesome. Class was awesome. If I were local I would definitely be going here.

Fantastic experience: I have had numerous memberships with other gyms and never felt welcome and never felt like a family. Each day I come in the owners Michael and Sondra are so loving and caring about each person that walks in their doors. I am just 2 weeks in and under Sondra's plan for me I have already lost weight and I feel stronger and better each day. The owners make effort to check in on you to see how your health journey is going and if you have any questions for them. It shows through their acts toward the HPT members how much they truly care about you. I cannot recommend HPT enough. They are true gems and you won't regret joining. HPT is the place to be!

Fantastic experience: Sondra and Mike have really made this gym feel so welcoming, from the start they get to know you and you truly are welcomed whatever level you are! They meet you where you are and only want the best for you. At this gym you get to know friendly faces, it’s more than a gym it’s a great space with great people!

Fantastic experience: I don’t know if I can tell you how HPT changed my life, iv lost 20 lbs and gained muscle along the way with Sondra’s plan. And the way Mike and Sondra make the gym feel like a family. You can’t compare planet fitness and HPT. HPT is more than a gym, it’s a family, that supports you along your journey and will help you with any of your goals.

Fantastic experience: HPT is by far my favorite gym I’ve ever been a member at for multiple reasons. Mike and Sondra do an amazing job at keeping the facility very clean and well organized, all the machines are high quality and well maintained, and all the members and staff are friendly and welcoming. I would highly recommend this gym to anyone!

Positive experience: Pro: convenient membership system Con: second hand equipments. The male gym trainer plays favorite with customers.

Fantastic experience: Best gym to go too. Mike and Sondra are awesome and both are so welcoming! They both want the best for you and to help you reach any goal you may have. Very clean and easy to use the equipments. If you’re not sure on how to use something they take the time to show you how to do it properly! The classes they offer are amazing as well! Plus they have an only women’s room for any woman that needs a space where they can workout comfortably!

Fantastic experience: HPT has changed my life. Sondra & Michael have helped me change not only my diet, but also my way of thinking, and helped me loose over 50lbs. I was an unhappy prediabetic with high cholesterol and now I’m absolutely living my best life doing all the things I’ve always wanted to do. I’m no longer prediabetic, cholesterol is lower than it’s ever been, and I’m no longer on any diabetic medication. Working out with Sondra has helped me grow my confidence and my muscles! Do yourself a favor and join! It’s hard but it’s worth it.

Fantastic experience: Great local gym with great people!

Fantastic experience: A great facility with everything you need to achieve your fitness goals. Mike and Sondra are awesome are very nice and keep things very neat and clean.

Fantastic experience: Great gym with great owners. Mike and Sondra are awesome people. They always proactively get you to hit any goal you shoot for! They also have running club twice a week that can you help you shed a few pounds, run your first race, or even win your local 5K! I love HPT.

Negative experience: Not enough staff to really help with all the clients. Needs a bigger facility.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, knowledgeable staff. Fun place to work out!

Fantastic experience: If you want a great gym that’s never super packed, friendly daily faces and a real family vibe this is the gym you want! LOVE my HPT family and gym!

Negative experience: Needs a running coach for 5k runners.

Fantastic experience: Great people to be around. The stretches and exercises they have showed me to help with hip and back pain from an accident has helped me tremendously.

Fantastic experience: Y’all, get in here!!! I’m on week 3 for a mission to save my life, be strong in my later years and support my community. This place is top notch, clean as a whistle and run by incredibly kind, talented, certified and knowledgeable owners. There’s a women’s only workout room where we feel safe! No one is down your throat here, they are there to encourage you and give you practical routines that work for YOU! And did I mention this place is clean, like spotless clean. Thank you Sondra and Mike, we appreciate you!!!!

Fantastic experience: Super knowledgeable owners, tight-knit community, great selection of machines to work out on. It doesn't matter if you're looking to just shed a few pounds or get absolutely ripped, this place has you covered. On top of this, they value the safety of their members, providing a women-only section, security cameras throughout the gym, and an open door policy for any problems you might have. Additional plans to expand out hours make this the perfect place to get healthy in Kannapolis. Couldn't ask for a better spot.

Fantastic experience: Amazing place ! Mike and Sondra are great amazing Trannier’s and people !!

Fantastic experience: Very impressed with the gym overall, they have a lot going for them as a gym that opened up fairly recently! The owners are very friendly and helpful; they are valuable resources and will help you with your form, exercise routines, and nutrition. Nice to have a quality gym in downtown Kannapolis!

Fantastic experience: Started to love the gym more since I started going here! I Love it! It feels like home and the owners are so amazing and nice! Definitely recommend this gym to everyone!

Fantastic experience: H.P.T has been one of the best investments I have ever made. The atmosphere is one of a kind. Great space to workout Everything that you need is there Mike and Sondra are very knowledgeable about their training.

Fantastic experience: This is an amazing gym and I am so happy I started with them last year and am going strong into the new year! The owners are kind, passionate and professional. They are friendly and know what they are doing when it comes to training with you even down to the nutrition level. I'm still going strong and ever since I started training here, my confidence in myself has increased ten fold. I'm extremely hyped for the spring and summer time to see more of my personal journey results. If you want a gym that is more attuned to a personal level, this is the gym for you. You can't help but be friendly with the owners. They make your experience comfortable and enjoyable. And for you fellow ladies that prefer to work with other women only, they have a room just for us! I'm looking forward to this gym growing this year!

Fantastic experience: For 20 years I stared at my husband’s professional gym equipment and was intimidated and never touched it. I recently decided I wanted to make a change in my life. I wanted to not only get in shape but to relieve myself of anxiety and improve my mood on a daily basis. So I decided to pick H. P. T. to help me with those goals. If I could give Sondra & Mike more then 5 stars I would and here is why: 1. They know how to avoid the plateau effect. They are highly educated and create calculated fitness plans to make sure you reach your exact goals. 2. No guess work! Nutrition plans are included in your package and tell you exactly what to eat and what to avoid in order to help you reach your goals 3. I love my new lifestyle. Sondra has inspired and empowered me to finally learn how to use my husbands professional equipment and I feel great about it! She is particularly good at accurately calibrating what weights I can and can’t properly lift safely while challenging me every time. I am blown away by what she has shown me that I am capable of! I just turned 40 and this is the first time in a long time that I feel bathing suit ready and I’m excited about it!! And I know I’m just getting started 4. Fun for the whole family. I started this journey with H. P. T for myself. But after seeing amazing results on my physical goals and emotional goals I decided to get my husband and teenage son involved. I ended up hiring Mike to write out a plan for them so they could workout together as father and son. It’s been a major boost of confidence for them. Mike has even gone on video sessions with them just to make sure they are tracking well with the plan he specifically customized for them. They go above and beyond! I even got my 12 year old twins doing some of the things that Sondra has taught me. 5. They make a great team. Sondra and Mike know how to balance each other out. So together they make an amazing power couple. Whether you pick Mike or Sondra you will not be disappointed. Either way you end up getting their combined expertise which cannot be matched by training on your own 6. Sondra saves your notes for you. I didn’t journal my notes well enough so she was wiling to give me her notes on what we worked on 7. They are flexible with your schedule and very professional and easy to work with. Sondra is always on time too. 8. Compatibility. You can’t help but want to be friends with Sondra. She finds a way to be fun and funny and just really refreshing to be around while still maintaining optimal professionalism. I am pleasantly surprised by this added perk. I am getting in the best shape of my life and have acquired a new friend while doing so. You can’t beat that! 9. They will teach you literally everything you need to know about fitness! I am so excited about how much they have taught me so far. They are very knowledgeable about their craft and it shows. They will patiently take the time to answer your questions and help you understand things. Distinguishing truths from untruths. There are a lot of fad diets out there and misconceptions about proper fitness. Sondra is guaranteed to set you straight on what the right information is. 10. They will not let up until they have helped you reach your goals! Sondra is persistent and consistent at examining your fitness plan, your goals and your food journal to assure that you will reach your desired goals.

Fantastic experience: The owners are passionate about fitness and helping others. Great gym and equipment.
