Great staff, nutritious and delicious food, yummy shakes. I came here to pick up some meals, they have "lifestyle" and "athlete" meals. Athlete meals are larger portions, ranging from 600-800 calories, where lifestyle meals are fewer -- I think 400-600 calories? They have meals in the fridge and ready to eat and also frozen ones. Weekly meal plans are available starting at 12 meals. They have seasonal menus so you can get a variety of foods. The containers are recyclable, and oven safe up to 250 degrees and they have a card with heating and spices/sauces best practices to make your meals the best. In addition to meals that you can pick up, they offer several fuel shakes, energy bites and more. Outside of meals, PLN has the inbody scanner to track more than your weight, but body fat percentage, skeletal muscle mass, and basal metabolic rate. The results print out and the staff can go over what each item means. It comes in handy as a way to track progress.

I went to project lean to get an in body scan. I also got a shake while I was there! The shake was delicious, but the service wasn't great. The girl at the counter just seemed so uninterested in being there! I felt weird asking her questions. Besides that, they have some great meal plan deals. I look forward to checking those out, and maybe grabbing one of those delicious shakes.

My favorite location in CLT. The place is always clean, the service is top tier from Brantley, Madison & Janelle. The smoothies are amazing and the food is always stocked, and pretty good for frozen dinners. I would recommend this place a million times!

My favorite protein shakes and protein balls! The team and service is 10/10; such a knowledgeable staff and great for recommending meals and shakes! As a member, getting free In-Body scans every 2-4 weeks has helped keep me on track and making adjustments when needed. Always will recommend to anyone looking to better their health!

I had the PB and Jacked smoothie and it definitely tasted the way it sounds. I love that they write fun things on the smoothie cups! I was also able to get on the InBody Scan and Anna explained to me what the results meant. Staff was friendly and smoothie was yummy!

I've been doing their meal plan subscription service for about a month now and have began to see results! I'm on the athlete plan to bulk up and gain some mass which means a meal for me would range from 600-800 calories. If you're a first timer, I highly recommend you try every meal as there are definitely some that are better than others! Oh they also make delicious shakes too! My favorites are the PB&Jacked with P2 and the Clockwork Orange. The store manager, Morgan, is super friendly and very upbeat! He'll be able to assist you with any of your needs there!

The PLN community is awesome. I love coming here to get my protein shakes and my high fives from the staff!! They have five dollar shakes on Fridays and also offer Grab N Go Meals or have weekly meal plans. I Do the 12 meals bi-weekly and it has saved my life!!! Healthy, good quality ingredients. They also will help you with nutrition planning and will test your BMI. I have yet to do this but I plan on doing it!! Location is great and every time I'm in there, I see someone from where I work out of mother fellow fitness person that I know or don't know but stalk in IG lol!!!

$5 Smoothie Friday is my fave!!! My friends and I love to stop by for the PB and Jacked smoothie. I've also tried the PB Cup and there is a Mochaccino one too... the PB and Jacked is by far the best. As far as their meal plans go... I didn't love the few meals I tried. You pick them up frozen and they are good for about five days once defrosted. I'm hoping the two I tried were an anomaly because the location is so convenient that I would love to be able to pick up meals there. Every time I have been in there the staff is super friendly and you can tell they are excited to be there.

So glad Project Lean Nation landed their brick and mortar location in South End! Because it was in my 'hood' I decided to try them out. I'm on week 2 (so two boxes) of their lifestyle plan and it's going really well. They have a variety of meal plans to choose from, but their base is a 12 meal and they accommodate food preferences, allergies, and special diets. If you doing subscribe, you can also just walk in the store and pick up a grab-and-go meal if you are in a pinch. All the meals have the nutrient macros on easy to read labels that seal the plastic containers (microwaveable) so it's super convenient for someone on the move, with little time to meal prep and trying to eat clean. I pick up my box on Fridays but you can come get yours throughout the weekend since the store has a lot of hours. If you have a crazy hospital shift, the store closes at 7, but Jeremy was telling me about a couple nurses that come by after their shift to pick up (after 7). Nice to have/see small business in Charlotte. Walk in, ask questions... they are available to provide a great service to the community. Their walk in freezer is pretty impressive and it's crazy to think that they started out of someone's house, just cooking meals and making boxes. There are shakes available and a nutritionist at your disposal for a consultation so that you have all the tools necessary to reach your goals... whatever they may be. The staff are super friendly and professional. As I was signing up, people were coming into hang out and catch up.... they knew everyone by name and the place just has a happy, healthy vibe to it.
