Flex5 By PetroFitness

Adam here. It's a shame I can't rate Flex5 higher than 5 stars. To put it simply, when I started my journey at Flex, I was a mess mentally and physically. 3 months later, I am healthier than I have ever been. With the help of unforgettably amazing trainers and other professionals (all under one roof), I was able to completely reinvent my body - and this is no understatement. I wouldn't have been able to do this on my own or in any other environment. Thus, for anyone serious about change and ready to commit, sign up ASAP. It will literally change your life for all the right reasons. Special shout out to Jack, Darla, Victoria and Kayla!

Flex 5 is a boutique gym that facilitates your experience to your fitness and wellness needs. I have had the pleasure of one on one personal training sessions with Jack Kirven. Jack creates interesting, balanced circuits for me, is patient, technical, knowledgeable and challenging.

Flex5 is a state of the art, fitness and wellness center! The owners and the staff are great at what they do, and very knowledgeable in what they teach. They motivate and push you, to see the better you, that we all have inside of us! I started my fitness journey in August of 2016. I'm 5'9"and weighed in at 200lbs. This also gave my the determination to stop smoking and drinking! I can proudly say as a mid 40's male, that I am 170lbs of lean muscle, with a budding six pack!!! Thanks Flex5, for all that you do!!!

I always dream of having a great hair dresser and a great personal trainer. Fortunately, I got to check off the second part - Personal trainer. Flex5 is amazing because of its people. Everyone at Flex5 treats you with so much affection and passion that your fitness dream become theirs. I don’t have to remind my personal trainers what my fitness goals/dreams are rather sometimes they remind me and push my limits slowly and steadily. You feel like you are a part of their family. It has been 3 months and the results I see in myself are truly amazing. I have been working with Jack and Darla. Jack: I love him. I was never into fitness and hence had no strength, stamina what so ever. I was unable to do push ups, jumping rope, I had no shoulder strength and Jack has been consistent enough to focus on my weakness and make them better. I see the difference in the way I work out today. He always focuses on technique and quality. He has a keen eye to your body posture and will always make sure that your workouts are technically correct. There are days when I ask jack I want to do something fun and he just comes up with random fun exercises for me. He does push my limits without me realizing that he is doing so. He is great! Darla – She is equally amazing. I love her too. Her exercise routines are well organized. For a given routine, she includes exercises for burn, core, and strength, basically she covers it all. At the same time, she does educate me with good habits to practice so that I can see better results during my journey.

I cannot speak highly enough about Flex5! I’ve been a member of countless gyms and have used many trainers over the past decade and none compare to Darla and Jack. They are truly invested in your well-being and progress and are so knowledgeable about wellness as a whole- not just physical strength. They continually go above and beyond, using their own personal time to research and provide guidance on personal topics we talk about during our training sessions. They honestly care about their clients and are a joy to be around. Would highly recommend!

I’ve enjoyed my experience with Flex5 Charlotte very much ! I’ve trained with Jack Kirven for almost 4 months. In that period of time, I’ve made a lot of improvements with flexibility, endurance and strength. Jack is very knowledgeable about fitness training. He incorporates all aspects of fitness training to give you a thorough workout: conditioning and flexibility, endurance, and strength training. Jack explains each exercise precisely and makes certain I use proper form. He’s patient with me as I learn the proper technique. I feel I’ve done a well rounded session each time I train with Jack. The Flex5 accommodations are very nice. Great spaces for training, yoga and group classes.. Besides the great training you get at Flex5, you’re able to make appointments with a chiropractor, masseuse, dietitian, and psycho therapist. Rolfing is also available. All are on site at Flex5 Charlotte. Flex5 Charlotte is a well rounded experience.

Great location, uptown but easy to find. Trainers are awesome and all the workout options will meet anyone's needs!

Feb 06, 2017

A one stop shop for all of your fitness and wellness needs!!!

Brian is an absolutely awesome trainer. He has so much energy and knows how to challenge me. He doesn't do cookie cutter, one size fits all fitness plans. He really listens and uses his knowledge to help you achieve your goals. Brian is a great motivator and even though it's hard work, we have fun doing it. I've been going to Flex 5 about 6 months & have truly enjoyed the whole experience. #BeTheChange

Feb 06, 2017

Fantastic gym with awesome trainers that are really there to help you grow and hit your goals, Mitch's Tabata class and Petro's Beach Body class helped me realize how much I needed their help!

Feb 06, 2017

Five months ago, I'd never met a yoga pose that I liked; then Victoria and her weekly chakra flow classes came into my life. Pretty soon, my tree poses became less wobbly, my crow more confident, and Chaturanga Dandasana to up dog vinyasa was flowing smoothly. Victoria is a patient teacher and her well thought out classes have been a perfect complement to my running routine.

Feb 06, 2017

Flex5 has amazing trainers, especially Mitchell. He's a great motivator and provides practical advice on how to start and maintain an healthy lifestyle with an upbeat attitude! I definitely recommend Flex5 for anyone who wants to #bethechange.

Feb 06, 2017

Flex5 is simply unique. In my view, it is a strategically assembled team with killer personalities and talents - all blended together with common goals and state of the art facilities in uptown Charlotte. Whether you have aesthetic or post-rehab functional goals, do a free consult and consider making Flex5 a part of your journey. I’ve been training with Mitch to slowly build up strength after a series of shoulder surgeries. Mitch specializes in customizing routines and he focuses on making sure you realize the difference (safely) between perceived limitations and actual physical limitations. Godspeed, #BeTheChange

Feb 06, 2017

Flex5 is the best place I've ever worked out. The trainers are really knowledgable and created a workout program to meet my personal fitness goals. I also really like the diversity of the classes and how well they accommodate my schedule. I am feeling great in my own skin (and in my bikini) :) thanks to Flex5!

Feb 06, 2017

Flex5 provides such an uplifting and butt-kicking experience all rolled into one. I can't say enough positive things about Petro and his staff. The classes are challenging, engaging, and rewarding! If you're looking for an experience to help put you back on track, sign up for Victoria's yoga or Petro's bootcamp.

Feb 06, 2017

I always have such an amazing expirence with Victoria! I have done aromatherapy and yoga with her; both were something you have to expirence for yourself. I always leave feeling more centered and energized.

Feb 06, 2017

I can explain how much I love coming to flex 5. I feel so comfortable working out there and actually look forward to working out now. It's very personable and the facility is amazing. I have also never been crazy about yoga, but Victoria has made me fall in love with it! Her classes are small and I leave feeling refreshed and happy every time I leave, and Brian has helped tremendously with my strength (prepare to be sore). Really the whole team works together to help you achieve your goals and their interaction together makes for a fun place to work out where you actually feel a part of them team.

Feb 06, 2017

I got the pleasure of taking an amazing yoga session with Victoria. It was quite the workout, and the facility was beautiful and well maintained. As soon as you walk in, friendly staff like Darla greet you and ready to help you #BeTheChange. I am so impressed with Flex5 that I signed up for a Tabata Hiit series with Mitchell.

Feb 06, 2017

I have been going to Flex5 and training with Brian for 6 months and it's been a great experience! He (and the whole staff) have been incredibly encouraging. Their whole outlook on fitness is not something I've encountered with other gyms. I look forward to the training sessions and although they are tough, I can feel the results - I'm definitely getting stronger every week. It's a great environment and Brian's methods have really pushed me to be better in my whole approach to health.

I have been training with Brian Mazhari for almost a year and it's been amazing to experience significant improvement in my fitness levels and to see body transformation. Brian creates a tailored personal training plan to help you meet your specific needs and goals. When I first started training with Brian, I had knee issues that limited what I could do. With targeted strength training over time, I am now able to do movements that weren't possible before, without pain. Brian keeps the training sessions fun and continually introduces new activities and variations so I always feel challenged and engaged. In addition, I have recently started taking yoga classes with Victoria Martinez. I always leave her classes feeling calm, centered, and refreshed. Victoria doesn't just lead the class. She teaches, trains, and assists to ensure that you learn proper form and technique. She also incorporates Ayurvedic and aromatherapy elements into her classes. I love Flex5's holistic approach to fitness. For them, it's truly about lifestyle and overall wellness: training sessions, yoga, nutrition counseling, massage therapy, and much more. What makes Flex5 so special is that they are truly building a community here. This boutique atmosphere allows clients and trainers alike to get to know one another and build relationships. It's truly a special place, and coming to Flex5 is one of the highlights of my week.

I joined Petro’s ‘Say I Do’ class this spring after seeing how much my partner was enjoying it. Admittedly, I’ve never been much of a super early morning person, so at first I was a little anxious that I would ever make it to the gym in time for the 6 am class. But with a little advance planning the night before, I’ve shown up for every single one so far! And I actually look forward to the workouts. My goals are to get more toned but mostly to fit in a healthy high quality workout into my crazy schedule – and to make up for all of the time I spend in an office environment. The class I took is 45 minutes long but sometimes it feels more like 10 minutes because you are moving around so much. Yes, they are intense…and fast paced, with very quick breaks between circuits. Petro keeps a close eye on everyone during the class and moves quickly from one participant to the next – correcting form (I seem to get corrected a lot ) – or suggesting a modification depending on the individual. It’s like having a personal trainer at a fraction of the price. At the end of the class, I have this Huge sense of accomplishment that I’ve kicked off my morning with an extraordinary workout and I’m ready to take on the day. On Saturdays, we do yoga with the fabulous Victoria – a nice change of pace from the weekday circuit training - but it is serious yoga – you will sweat! Overall, I’m so glad I met Petro and the Flex5 team. I’ve really gotten a lot out of this experience so far and looking forward to more!

I went to my first yoga class with Victoria as part of a work event and to be honest I was there to network. I knew I wasn't going to be good at yoga and I wasn't interested in just laying in a dark room and breathing deeply. After that first class I became addicted to the environment of the classes and then quickly to yoga itself. Victoria is amazing and her energy and attitude are both contagious. The love and joy you feel in her classes are 100% coming from her and it's addictive. I am thinner, stronger, and happier now than I was before that first class. If I could give more than 5 stars I would!

I'm a tv meteorologist for Fox 46 in Charlotte, and went to Flex 5 after I had ballooned up to 280 lbs. I've been training with Brian Mazhari and doing yoga with Victoria Martinez for a few months now. The weights dropping off(down over 30 lbs), and I'm feeling and looking so much better. Brian's a great motivator. Very positive, but tough. He keeps the exercises different every time I come in, so I don't get bored. But, I do get pooped. My body is definitely changing shape. I've never done yoga before, and was about as inflexible as a human being could get. It's amazing the progress we've made. While still not the most flexible man, I'm getting up and down with my kids like never before. I had a constant pain in my shoulder that would give me headaches, and that almost never happens anymore. She's been pushing me further and further, and I can even do the crow pose. Petro layed the groundwork with an eating plan, and a way to live. He came to my house, and cleaned out my kitchen, talked to my wife, and made sure I was mentally ready to roll. Plus, he showed me how to order when I do go out to eat. They're hitting on all cylinders.

Feb 06, 2017

I'm always a little hesitant trying out a new place, but from the moment I walked in for yoga I was met with such a warm welcome; everyone there is so nice! I had mixed up the yoga schedule but Victoria was so great that I ended up staying for her aromatherapy seminar and loved it. I had a great time, felt refreshed and learned a few things. Now I can't wait to go back and try her yoga class!

Feb 06, 2017

I've been training with Brian Mazhari at Flex5 since January and both Brian and Flex5 are great! Brian's workouts are varied and intense. I stay interested in them because no two sessions are ever the same -- and he doesn't let me slack off! I plan on training at Flex5 with Brian for a long time to come.

Feb 06, 2017

I've been training with Mitch and Victoria for only two weeks and I am ALREADY seeing and feeling the results. I would recommend both of them for personal training and Victoria for Yoga. I love how customizable their plans are and that they always have ME in mind when it comes to MY training. If I could give them 10 stars, I would. To top it all off, they are located in a brand new, state-of-the-art facility with private restrooms and showers. They will even do your grocery shopping for you!

Feb 06, 2017

I've been working out with Brian Mazhari for the last few months. Brian always pushes me to my maximum potential, and never let's me cheat (even though I try). Brian keeps my workouts interesting and unique. There is always a good mixture of cardio and strength training. I've seen good results working out with Brian, and have recommended him to friends that are interested in seeking a personal trainer.

Feb 06, 2017

I've been working out with Victoria for 7 months now. Through her Ayurveda sessions , she helped me navigate through an very difficult time in my life. After that, I've worked out with her through personal training sessions and her Chakra yoga class every week.Victoria and the Flex5 family inspires you to be great and truly stands behind the #bethechange movement. I'm so grateful to have found this fitness family and I highly recommend flex5 to everyone!

Feb 06, 2017

I've been working with Mitch Neugebauer at Flex 5 for the past few months, and have been impressed with his skill, professionalism, and empathy. I'm a "woman of a certain age" and was rehabbing after a lumbar microdiscectomy. I used to run before my back surgery but was afraid to do anything afterwards that could cause re-injury. Mitch is an EMT and a certified trainer, and has grown my work-outs over time. I am now stronger, better toned, and am even doing spinning classes! I enjoy the 1:1 sessions and private work-out space. Flex5 is clean, with lovely shower rooms, new equipment, and great staff. I am very happy I found Flex5 for my training!

Feb 06, 2017

Love Flex5 and their wonderful team of instructors. Just started my second Say I Do class series with Petro and it rocks! Great workout completed in an efficient 45 min time frame. Highly recommend this place and the high end facilities. Ps- If you have a chance try out the Yoga classes. One of the best I have tried in Charlotte.

Feb 06, 2017

Love this place and the Flex5 Team! joined the "Say I Do" series, or boot camp as it's called, in April 2016. I needed motivation to get in shape in a focused way. As I came to know Petro and the Flex5 Team, I was hooked. Each one of the fitness coaches are different but knowledgable, flexible, friendly and know how to push you without being obnoxious, like alot of 'trainers'. They allow you to alter any exercise to your level of fitness or comfort. There's no yelling and screaming to push yourself or do more sit ups. LOL. The space they have is newly renovated, stylish, practical and well equipped. The main advantages of this Flex5 is (1) flexibility (you can chose whatever classes or individual training sessions you want, (2) purchase one class, several or unlimited, combine classes and individual training, etc, (3) workout in a convenient uptown location, (4) take classes early am or after the typical work day. The coaches are accepting of everyone and make all feel comfortable no matter age, race, orientation, fitness level, etc. I have become a member of Flex5 and will continue my workouts beyond the series I am about to complete.

Feb 06, 2017

The boot camp classes are great! I've never been successful when I've tried to go to the gym and do things by myself. The group classes provide me the structure and motivation that I need to push myself to succeed. Petro's "Say I Do Beach Body Class" and Mitch's "Tabata" are challenging but leave you feeling great afterward.

Feb 06, 2017

The first thing I was impressed with was the location. Flex5 is located in a beautiful historic building right in the midst of uptown. However, you would never know once you enter the Flex5 facility, because they have the most up to date equipment. My first session was with Mitch and was great and developing a plan and working with me on exactly what I needed to achieve my goals. The Flex5 team really Looks for what's best for me and recommended teammates classes to diversify my workout so I won't get bored.

Feb 06, 2017

Victoria brings a new fresh yoga experience to Charlotte! Flex5 is a unique way to get out of the box and move towards a healthier life style! These guys are changing lives not just bodies! 🌟🌟

Feb 06, 2017

Flex5 has everything I could ask for in personalized fitness. The trainers are extremely knowledgeable and the facility is complete with state-of-the art equipment. I love the variety of small-group classes they offer in addition to their one-on-one training. Power Yoga with Victoria has become my personal favorite. Flex5 certainly accommodates my 9-5 work schedule. I typically get in my work out before heading to work in the morning. Their shower facilities are always clean and they provide towels and toiletries so when I leave Flex5 I am energized, confident and ready for my day. They also have a terrific wellness spa that offers nutritionist services, massages and retails essential oils. Forget about what you thought a gym was and check out Flex5, you will not regret it!

Feb 06, 2017

Great staff, great classes, and fun atmosphere. I'm been working out with Brian Mazhari for 6 months with excellent results, his motivation and knowledge are outstanding.

Feb 06, 2017

I have used Flex5 for many fitness and health services, and I can't say enough about their staff. Victoria is an amazing personal trainer and person! She brings positive energy every where she she goes and truly makes you feel like you can do anything that you set your mind too...and with her guidance, knowledge, and support, YOU CAN!

Feb 06, 2017

Petro and his team create the perfect environment to not only improve physical fitness and health but also to build long lasting bonds with the team and other participants that carry on into daily life after the retreat. A perfect mix of hard work, fun excursions and great food in one of the most beautiful environments possible!

Feb 06, 2016

I've been working out with Petro for about a year and a half, making the trek down to Uptown Charlotte from the Lake Norman-area two mornings a week. But Petro makes it worth the drive! He motivates me to push beyond my own limits. I've become a stronger person, physically and otherwise, with his help.
