One roof. Multiple ways to grow. Come find your +
You've driven past us on Morehead a hundred times and wondered "what's in there?" The answer... a whole lot.
Strength training, Lagree, and kickboxing, coached in a small group. Your coach knows your name, meets you where you are, and builds from there.
Stretch and recovery are part of progress here, not an afterthought. Move better, feel better, come back stronger.
Pop-ups for coffee, juice, and more, plus a crew that notices when you're gone. People come for a workout and stay because it feels different here.
What's your +?
For some it's Lifting + Lagree. For others, community + accountability. Whatever you're looking for, you can find it at
Strength + Wellness Collective
I'm Craig, the founder, and I still work a full-time corporate job. I built SWC as a member first. I couldn't find a single place in Charlotte that took strength and recovery equally seriously and did both genuinely well, so I set out to build it.
Strength and wellness. That isn't just the name, it's the whole reason this place exists.
I wanted real coaching. The kind of attention where someone knows where you're starting from and builds the work around you, not a room full of machines and a wave at the front desk.
The recovery side is personal for me. You train hard, you sit at a desk all day, and your body needs more than another tough session. So mobility and recovery aren't a bolt-on here. They sit right alongside the training, because that's how you actually keep getting stronger.
And it's built to flex around your real life. Come once a week, or make it your second home. SWC can be as much, or as little, as you want it to be.
All under one roof!
