WKS is my favorite workout and studio of all time! First, let’s talk about the new studio, it’s stunning, such amazing vibes. I was not worried at all about COVID while working out at West Kept, we were socially distanced, mask were worn when appropriate, and everything was super sanitized. I loved the work out and felt super empowered and strong after class. The owners, trainers, and front desk staff were so friendly and welcoming. I had an amazing experience from start to finish and will stand by WKS for years to come!

West Kept Secret offers one of the most fun, challenging workouts I’ve ever tried! I love that their combination of machines and workouts is always changing to keep me on my toes and keep my fitness level at its peak. The trainers are right there with you during class to ensure your safety, offer modifications if you need them, and offer challenges that take your workout to the next level. It truly is a class like no other.COVID Note - The studio is doing a great job at mitigating risk by having clients and staff wear masks in the lobby, restricting unnecessary access to the studio, and practicing social distancing during the class itself. They’re also completely accepting of clients and staff wearing masks during classes - I’ve taken my classes with my mask on and have even been accommodated with extra space (well over 6 feet) while at my machine.

I cannot say enough amazing things about my workout at WKS. I’ve been twice and couldn’t feel safer!! To the reviews below making statements about people being close and not wearing masks, you obviously have never been to the studio or taken a class or else your reviews would be very much of a different tune. This team of badasses give you the workout of a lifetime!! Challenging yet supported and unlike anything else I’ve ever come across. As a former college athlete I am used to steady hard workouts ... but this is something all on its own!! This methodology is unmatched by anything else I’ve ever done in Charlotte or elsewhere. I cannot wait for my next class and highly recommend WKS for the workouts of your life!! Ready to get wedding-ready with this stellar group of trainers and staff!!!

I can’t say enough about WestKept Secret! I’ve been going to their classes for over 2 years now and truly feel that it is the best workout in Charlotte.Not only are their trainers certified and knowledgable they are friendly and encouraging. Their methods push you to be your best self. Throughout the pandemic I was able to keep up with training through streaming and Zoom class options.Now, throughout their reopening (in their amazing new space), I feel safe! I respect their commitment to following mandates and guidelines. Many gyms chose to find a loophole but WestKept played by the books. Thanks for all you do! Can’t wait for my next class!

I went to my first class here on Monday morning led by Marissa West and it was amazing! I hadn’t done much cardio or working out over the past several months so I was definitely nervous (thought I might die) but this class challenged me in the best ways! Everyone was so welcoming from the woman at the front desk, to the instructor, to another WKS trainer who was also taking the class. They all really made me feel welcomed and comfortable. The class was HARD, but the instructor made sure to help with my form and offer modifications when I needed them while still pushing/encouraging me. They are also doing a great job of maintaining COVID safety precautions. Overall the vibe of this place is just 10/10 - great music, great culture, great workout. I will definitely be a regular!

Best workout in Charlotte. Best workout in North Carolina. Best workout I've ever experienced in my lifetime - period. As a former competitive dancer and someone who has exercised regularly for more than twenty years, I am so happy to have finally found something I am absolutely IN LOVE with.I attended some West Kept Secret classes in late 2019 and early 2020, prior to Covid-19, when they were being held at another location. Once the pandemic hit, I did a few of their Zoom classes and also subscribed to the on-demand streaming for a few months - both of which were awesome.As soon as the actual West Kept Secret opened in Dilworth this October, I knew I had to sign up and get in on a regular membership. Let me just say - I am beyond happy I did. It was exactly what I needed and was missing in my life. WKS provides multiple class times, multiple instructors (all amazing, by the way), and every workout is different - which I love. I get bored with things very quickly, and know that I will never get sick of these workouts because they are always challenging, different each day, and not only different workouts and instructors and music, but also different interval timings (so you never know what you're going to get)!I also need to mention that WKS takes Covid-19 very seriously. As soon as you arrive at the door, your temperature is taken. Masks are required. The class size is currently under the required capacity. The workout is done with more than 6-feet apart from other class-takers (an empty machine/station is kept between you and the next person, if that is needed - depending on the class size that day and time, you might have even more spacing than that). Machines/stations are cleaned very thoroughly in between classes by WKS staff - and - if you would like to clean in between each round during your workout, before you hop on a machine/station, you may do so if you wish.Anyways, if you cannot already tell by this review...WKS is the best.PS - the music is the best, hands down. Especially if Marissa, Heidi, or Arthur are teaching.

This is the only workout I will wake up at midnight to ensure I sign up for the class times I want for the entire month. I am obsessed with this workout. How much stamina, endurance, strength training all in 50 minutes. Every workout is different and I love how hands on the instructors are with each student. Every instructor is personable & encouraging, they truly want everyone to have the best workout.Do not be intimidated by this workout. It’s all inclusive and empowering, I look forward to waking up early AM to head to West Kept Secret!

Absolutely love this team and the workouts they provide! I’ve never felt more accomplished after finishing a workout than I have after a WestKept Class! Their entire team is friendly and makes you feel welcome regardless of fitness level. I will definitely be back!

I want to give an update on the review I wrote previously for Marissa West and West Kept Secret Fitness. I’ve been working with Marissa now every week for 16 months. Marissa has changed my life in so many ways. Not only is she just a fabulous trainer, She motivates me in ways that no one else ever has. I have never been a natural exerciser, however Marissa has encouraged me and challenged me to explore the world of fitness. Since working with her I have lost 28 pounds. Honestly the most important part is feeling good in my skin and feeling healthy. I can’t recommend Marissa And her team more highly.
