Metro Fitness Club is privately owned by two long time residents of Charlotte, Denise Abood and Darlene Malecki. They stay active in the club, have a passion for fitness and want to make Metro Fitness a staple in the Charlotte Fitness Community. Darlene is active daily in the club and runs most of the back office operations, while Denise maintains her “day” job in the financial services arena. You can find them both at the club; whether it be making protein shakes for members, working out, teaching a few classes, or just hanging out!

Denise and Dar realized that it takes a village to make a business successful. They believe you have to hire the people that enhance your vision, understand fitness, and have a business sense to make things happen. With that in mind, they hired long time fitness expert Thea Winick as the Club’s General Manager. Thea’s long and successful history as a personal trainer, fitness center operator and owner of her own fitness business made her a perfect choice to lead the daily and strategic vision of the club. Thea brings years of knowledge and a active presence day to day in the club.

The great part at Metro is that all three of the management team are accessible to the members. We want our membership to feel like they can email us or call us directly if they have a question, a suggestion or a concern. We truly have an open door policy. We know this is something new and different to the Charlotte area fitness community.
