1-on-1 Personal Training in a Private Charlotte, NC Studio
One Trainer, One Client, One Private Studio
When you book a 1-on-1 session at Taylor Carpenter Personal Training, you don't share the floor with anyone. No waiting on a squat rack, no anxious glances at the mirror, no rushed coaching split across three clients at once.
You get a certified personal trainer, a 1,250 sq ft private studio in the Ballantyne area of Charlotte, and a program designed around your body, your goals, and your schedule.
Taylor has coached clients out of this same Charlotte studio for over 10 years. That longevity matters: it means the programming is refined, the equipment is dialed in, and the results speak for themselves across hundreds of clients from Charlotte, Ballantyne, Fort Mill, and Indian Land.
Taylor Carpenter holds the following nationally recognized credentials:
- Certified Personal Trainer
- Performance Enhancement Specialist
- Corrective Exercise Specialist
- Fitness Nutrition Specialist
- Behavior Change Specialist

Your First 4 Weeks at Taylor Carpenter Personal Training
Week 1 — Consultation and movement assessment
Your first session is part conversation, part assessment. We cover your training history, injury history, goals, schedule, and nutrition habits, then work through a movement screen to identify any mobility or stability issues worth building around. You leave Week 1 with a written plan.
Weeks 2–3 — Foundational program and habit building
Sessions focus on nailing the movement patterns that will drive your results for the next several months — hinge, squat, push, pull, carry — while layering in the habit work (sleep, protein, step count) that makes the training stick.
Week 4 — Progress review and program progression
At the four-week mark we step back, measure what's changed, and adjust the program. Expect real data, not cheerleading: weights moved, reps completed, body-composition shifts, and how the training is fitting into your life.

Taylor is amazing to work with both in person for training and with online sessions. His gym is always immaculate and he is always up to date on the latest equipment. The online sessions are methodically laid out with detailed direction. Taylor is also very knowledgeable when it comes to working around any slight knocks or injuries. If you want the best in the business whether having years of workout experience or just a newbie starting, Taylor is the only choice.

Taylor is definitely a hidden gem personal trainer. I absolutely love having my own private training sessions and not having to be in the gym with a bunch of other people . All of my training sessions are specifically tailored to my needs/ fitness goals . Taylor is always very respectful prompt and knowledgeable about his trade . He also knows a lot about nutrition he will definitely hold you accountable and that’s one thing I needed in a personal trainer for sure . He always keeps the sessions interesting I get very bored easily but he always consistently keeps challenging me with new things . I couldn’t have chosen a better trainer Thanks Taylor !

Ive been working out with Taylor for a few years. I had to stop due to relocating for a job. I met with several trainers in my new city but none offered what he offered. He is extremely knowledgeable in exercise/diet and the only trainer I've met that offers one on one in a gym to yourself. The gym has always been super clean with a lot of equipment that he constantly adds to. When my job gave some flexibility to work partially remote, I immediately got back in with Taylor to continue training. Yes, its worth the trip. He holds you accountable and always switches up the workout so it keeps you on your toes. To add, we always start on time and his communication is excellent.

I have been working with Taylor for a few years now and have been very happy with the results. He has a plan for each person and my workouts differ each time, so it's never boring. His gym is spotless and well-maintained, and I love that it's just the two of us in the space, no distractions. If you are considering personal training, I'd highly recommend Taylor.

I’ve been working out with Taylor for over 6 months and I’m glad to be doing that. I like the fact that I’m the only person in the gym during my session with Taylor. Taylor is very methodical in his approach for putting together a program of working out. I also like the fact that every work out is documented and is available to me via the shared drive. He also motivates me to eat right and introduced me to apps that did increase my awareness of my eating habits. I totally recommend Taylor for anyone who is serious about wanting to do the right thing by eating right and working out regularly.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is 1-on-1 training different from small-group or semi-private training?
In small-group or semi-private training, one coach works with 2–6 clients at a time, which means your form cues, programming, and rest periods are averaged across the group. In true 1-on-1 training, every minute of the session is yours. At Taylor Carpenter Personal Training, you don't even share the gym floor — the 1,250 sq ft studio is yours for the full session.
Do I need to be in shape before I start?
A significant portion of my clients start without any recent training history, and several start while working around existing injuries. The program meets you where you are on day one.
Do you offer nutrition coaching as part of 1-on-1 training?
Yes. Nutrition support is integrated into 1-on-1 training — you get setup and ongoing check-ins through the RP Diet App, realistic macro and habit targets, and answers to the specific food questions that come up week to week. Learn more on the Nutrition Philosophy page.
How much does 1-on-1 personal training cost?
Current session rates and package pricing are listed on the Rates page. Pricing is transparent — no high-pressure sales calls required to find out what training costs.
Where is the studio located, and who do you serve?
The studio is at 17232 Lancaster Highway, Suite 111, Charlotte, NC 28277, in the Ballantyne area. We regularly train clients from Charlotte, Ballantyne, Fort Mill, SC, and Indian Land, SC.
