I’ve been training with Carlos for a little over 7 months now. Repeat sessions, and for good reason.
He’s top tier. Professional, knowledgeable, agile, a GREAT communicator, coach, mentor, and incredibly supportive. He keeps detailed notes and really pays attention. Why else would I keep putting myself through these workouts?
His keen attention to form helped fine-tune and improve exercises I’ve done for years.
I feel better, look better, and have WAY more confidence in the gym. I’m also a lot more disciplined than I was when we first started. Honestly, I don’t think I would have gotten to this point without Carlos pushing me! The workouts were challenging, but worth it. And let’s be real, I was probably more challenging than the workouts. I’m sure I danced on Carlos’s nerves with my complaining, but he handled it like a champ and still got me through every session.
Would I do it again? Absolutely.
Carlos knows what he’s doing and how to get results. You’ll benefit from his years of experience helping people reach their goals.
He may be fairly new to Charlotte, but with his knowledge, skills, and ability, I see him being fully booked in no time. If you’re thinking about working with him, go ahead and do it now.
He’s a good dude for real.

Carlos is highly knowledgeable when it comes to fitness, nutrition and his overall craft. He’s an understanding guy who can still push you even when you’re ready to start complaining. If you need guidance on whether that’s your overall build, lifestyle or mindset , I would recommend Carlos to get you up and moving. Also one more thing, any question you ask him, expect a thorough explanation that’s clear to understand. He’s not just there to just push you but to also educate you on how and why your body reacts to a specific exercise. If you fully engage and put a little more effort in, you’ll get your moneys worth.

Carlos was extremely professional throughout the entire process, and he opened my eyes to new perspectives. I was uncertain about what I was doing wrong and how to reach my goal. Carlos is very informative in his approach and is very easy to talk to. The intake process went very smoothly! He takes his time to get to know you and gather the necessary details to help create the best plan for you. I highly recommend him!

This guy is incredible! In 4 months Carlos transformed my body from being seriously injured with a torn chest muscle to being performance ready for the WestCoast Premier of play that required me to look like an Olympic swimmer! He’s the real deal and I can’t thank him enough!

Do NOT scroll past or you will never know what marvels you will miss by foregoing Carlos Frias as your personal trainer. His approach is highly individualized. Carlos gives considerable thought to what today’s plan for you should be yet he is sufficiently facile, perceptive, and experienced to quickly set aside that plan and design one right on the spot to better suit the you you are today. His approach is always engaging and will foster your success. Carlos draws from a vast repertoire of original exercises that engage the mind and draw it away from concerns about finishing the number of repetitions he has properly chosen just for you. His approach is both comprehensive and realistic to your life’s demands. When I needed a travel workout suitable for a small space Carlos provided an excellent one in the form of short helpful videos with him demonstrating and describing each exercise. And should you have a question he a mere text away. Carlos will invest in your health—all of it and be ready to share his diverse expertise with you. Recently I injured a muscle and texted Carlos. He responded within minutes and his advice had me pain free and mobile within the hour. I eat better thanks to Carlos. Although diverse and comprehensive in his offerings Carlos will not bombard or overwhelm you—he is especially mindful that substantial progress can be achieved in a stepwise fashion. By suggesting one small achievable change at a time he will guide you in transforming your life according to your own priorities. Carlos will commit to your “long game” and keep you moving forward without ever nagging you or guilting you or going all drill sergeant on you either. He will stay with you and for you, for however long it takes you to meet your evolving goals. In short, Carlos is “a keeper.” You could do no better than to invite Carlos to be a valued member of “TEAM YOU.” Michelle L.
