My wife! There have been many journeys, or should I say programs, throughout the years and HERO Fitness is the one that has become reality. I do not have words for the support and training of the staff of Hero Fitness. The only thing I can say is THANK YOU for your trainers and a COMPLETE program. As a husband and my wife as one of your clients, I can truly say “this is by far the BEST constructive program” that’s comes through with results. Thank you to EXCELLENT trainers. It’s worth every penny because the end result is good health! More...

Took the Deep Flow Stretch Yoga w guest instructor Caitlen. She is an absolute gem, extremely knowledgeable and was able to make adjustments, as I have an injured knee. It's a beautiful studio, run by 2 kind, kick-ass, caring and motivating women. Looking forward to many more classes. :-) More...

The staff and other members are fun and make the workouts exciting to do. Every day is a different workout and targets a different area making it so that you don't feel bored doing the same movements. During my 6 wk challenge I lost 10.6 lbs, 6% body fat and 13.2 lbs of total body fat. I can see and feel the difference!! More...

I have definitely found a home for my fitness needs. I’m starting week 8 and have lost 16 lbs but more than that I have more energy, stamina and strength. The exercises are geared towards quality, control and effort so your going to get more out of each rep. I love the camaraderie the classes are fun, educational and just when you think you’ve hit your limit the instructors help you reach another level. Thanks Hero Fitness I cant wait to reach my next weight goal. More...

I do the Sunday yoga and love it! Love getting a good weekend workout in - particularly one that helps alleviate muscle tightness. Love starting Mondays refreshed.

What can I say about hero fitness that hasn't been said yet? This place is awesome!
After trying multiple gyms and being frustrated with the lack of variety, challenge and support, I stumbled upon Hero.
This place is truly like no other. The trainers and all the participants are so kind and supportive! You feel like you're among family and friends when you come in. The workouts are tough, but are also incredibly fun.
I recommend trying their challenges since they will kick your butt into gear and get you started on a healthier journey in life.
Try it out, you won't regret it!

Hero Fitness has really changed my life and the way I look at exercising. Before Hero I was just running, but I knew I needed to do something different to see the results I've been wanting. I joined with a friend and I am so happy that I did! I am leaner and in some of the best shape of my life. I just ran my second half marathon and beat my time by almost 10 minutes. I've also met some really great people that make me want to go everyday to workout with them. The amount of personalized training you get from Loryn is unreal. You won't regret trying out Hero Fitness! More...

If I could give Hero Fitness more than 5 stars I would!! I have accomplished more toward my weight loss goals in the 5 1/2 months that I have been going to Hero than I have in the previous 3 years! Loryn and Dale push me to achieve greatness and are always inspiring their classes to strive harder. They help me to stay on track for reaching my goals! Loryn goes above and beyond by helping out with plans for eating and even did research on hypothyroidism to help me make the right choices. Since starting at Hero I have now lost 25 pounds by losing body fat and gaining muscle! I have also lost a TON of inches! My clothes fit better and I have an overall boost in self confidence!

Hero Fitness and Loryn are terrific. For years I struggled to maintain consistency in my diet and exercise routine. After turning 50 I realized that I needed someone to personally inspire and encourage me to reach my goals. Loryn worked with me to design a diet and fitness plan that would help me achieve my goals. I have been able to lose 8% body fat, 18 pounds and add tone and muscle that I have never had. I have maintained it for 18 months and will continue to work with Loryn and Hero Fitness as long as possible! I highly recommend Hero Fitness to anyone who wants to work with a team that will help you reach your personal best!! More...

How do you help your clients achieve their fitness goals?
"My training style is Dynamic Strength Training and Circuit Training. I understand the impact of words. It isn't yelling that get’s my trainees to move their behinds, it is the words that motivate and encourage."- Dale Turner CPT
What’s the secret to getting the body of your dreams?
There is no "Secret." Forget the promises of pills, no work, eat whatever you want nutrition and fitness plans. It's all about marketing.
If you are willing to work or LEARN how to work hard for a short period of time then you can get the body of your dreams. How fast or slow depends on how much you invest in yourself.
One of our must successful clients actually sent us the following email about people asking her "What is her secret."
"It is AMAZING to me how many people don't want to put in the work at the gym! I've had several people in the last few days notice that I've lost weight and ask what my secret is. My response to all of them is the same "it is no secret. i go to the gym 5, sometimes 6 times a week and i watch what i eat." all of them want some quick fix or pill! one even said "oh. we'll i'm not going to actually WORK for it." People are crazy lol
What do you love most about your job?
"I love being able to have the proverbial front row seat to seeing my clients physically change. What I love most about what I do is less about the physicality I am able to bring out of my trainee and ore about shedding the thick layer of doubt they come with. I am fortunate enough to understand how to create confidence with every session by means of positive reinforcement and strategically placed reward."- Dale Turner
What inspired you to start your own business?
We wanted to take this space to give you more information about us as trainers and the types of clients we train.
Here are a few of the clients we have trained:
We have trained 2 clients to do their first Spartan Race and they finished in the top 16% of women for the day
We have trained 2 marathon runners. One increased her half marathon time by 10 minutes and another one is building her endurance for the Disney Marathon
We have trained 1 active senior who after one month of weight training with us, went on a 9 mile hike and said his knees didn't ache at all the next day when for years they have been after a strenuous hike.
We have trained 1 person with a thyroid issues to lose 30lbs since May 2017 and is only 11 pounds away from her big milestone goal.
We have trained 3 women who work in high pressure corporate jobs to lose 18lbs, 5lbs, and 10lbs during their time with us.
Why should our clients choose you?
"Clients should choose me if they are looking to work with a personal fitness trainer who is affordable, available, punctual, invested, pragmatic and knowledgeable beyond the basics." Dale Turner
What is great about training with me at Hero Fitness is that we are not a major chain or franchise. We are owned and operated by a Charlotte/Matthews local. Why is this important? It means that the money you spend to train with us at Hero goes back to the community inside and outside of the gym. It helps us support our families and grow as individuals to make your training experience better. We also don't have to "run it by corporate" if you have any suggestions or ideas of things to do at Hero Fitness.
FREE* 6 Week Fitness Study July , 2018
2018 is only a month away. Which means you might already be thinking about your new years resolutions and fitness goals.
If they are to lose at least 10-20lbs AND create a manageable, healthy lifestyle that will guarantee you success for the rest of life--not just the first two months of 2018-- then we are looking for you!
We are conducting a FREE* 6 Week Fitness Study that if followed correctly will get you to loose the 10-20lbs and keep them off. Our study starts January but we are signing up participants now-Dec 15, 2017 at a discounted rate.
We can't give away all of our secrets here, but we can tell you what it doesn't involve:
Stressful meal plans
Requirement to buy supplements
Incredibly hard workouts that aren't suited for your fitness level
Demanding, overbearing, insane trainers
Clique-ish groups
What does FREE* mean? It's simple: You put down a deposit to let us know that you are committed. We don't want to invest in and get to know/love people who are just going to drop out after 1-2 weeks. Once you complete the program you will get your money back.
