    While I still have much to explore, this review is going to based off of my first impressions…read more Walking in, the facilities are modern, clean, and expansive. So far I've really only been to the locker room and the main lifting area (I'm assuming) on the ground level. The front desk staff has been friendly, and there is a store I want to explore on the right as you walk in (heard good things). It's clear both inside and from the outside that there is much more to the building but that will be for as time progresses. Very much a "lifters" gym due to the vibes, the color palette is fairly dark and muted, primarily consisting of various shades of gray and black with an occasional red accent. On the wall there is a large mural of two bodybuilders, next to a 16 tv array display showcasing the game, or Ronnie Coleman lifting videos. On the floor there is a plethora of equipment, truly anything any lifted would need or even really want. The space is large, and with that packed with equipment while maintaining healthy spacing between pieces, which is very much appreciated. When it gets busy there may be a tad wait for some pieces but that is anywhere, and very reasonable. Staple workout pieces have multiples such racks and benches, and so for those it's fairly unlikely you will have to really wait. The equipment is modern, clean, and seems to be well maintained. The one qualm I have, which very well may be just due to me going later in the day, is the inconsistency of the weights. There are plenty of weights available, but they vary in size/brand/type a lot. Most seem to be iron, but the brands vary so even if the same weight, the sizes vary slightly. Now I don't necessarily mind loading up a bar "asymmetrically", but at the same time it would be kinda nice if I could have matching plates. I understand this is a small and insignificant thing, just one I noticed, and something that could also be very much due to gym goers moving stuff around. If you're going to the gym primarily to lift, I'd likely recommend this gym.

    Bucked Up has a really good selection of Arsenal equipment and the gym itself is laid out well. No…read morecomplaints at all about the equipment. The weights were a different story. Plates were all over the gym, left on machines, and mixed up on the racks. It made finding the weight you needed more of a pain than it should have been. If I lived in the area, I'm not sure I'd be a member here. I also don't think I'd recommend others join the gym for this reason. But as a destination gym while traveling, it's definitely worth grabbing a one-day pass and getting a workout in. Good gym with great equipment, they just need to get a handle on keeping the weights organized.

    I inquired here while I was searching for another gym. Since moving here I've struggled to find the…read moregym that meets all of my needs that's not a total inconvenience. I found this location to be relatively close to my home and I like that it's 24/7. I spoke with Andy on the phone and via text. The service Andy provides is excellent and Andy did a great job following up to ensure I could get a tour. Unfortunately, I settled on trying out another gym option but I look forward to circling back to Anytime Fitness if my current choice doesn't work out.

    Non existent customer service. First off, this specific gym charges $30 A MONTH more than the other…read moreanytime fitness gyms in the area? How the hell does that make sense? When I brought this to the owner, his answer was "because our facility is top notch and we have a bodybuilder like atmosphere which encourages a higher level of training at our facility". The facility is not top notch. Every other anytime fitness I've been to in the area has more equipment and is cleaner. They also are never any help when you come to them with questions about your "contract". I got a new credit card and needed to remove my card that was expiring from my payment method. The process was impossible. 2 weeks passed before anybody could give me an answer on how to change my payment method. Then, when it finally got switched, I got hit with late fees and a service charge totaling over $100. An absolute joke of a gym. Stay away at all costs.

    I've been going to Lifetime Fitness Cary for about 4 years. Yes it's expensive, but I feel like…read moreit's worth it. I love the group fitness classes and I love that you reserve your spot in advance. They also just started a new Core Tone Reform class with reformers for regular members, and that class kicks your butt! I also really enjoy the sauna, steam room, and jacuzzis. Another benefit is the kids membership. My stepdaughter loves coming to the kids club for gymnastics, rock climbing, yoga, and more. I know that she is having fun while I'm doing a class. They have Parents Night Out on the weekends and that's such a nice perk! There's also day camps, which has saved us a few times when we needed child care during a school break. The pool is also wonderful in the summertime. The cafe food is average. I'd love it if the quality was amped up just a bit. The only thing I really ever get is the vegan PB& B shake. It's delicious! It has peanut butter, banana, cafe mocha greens, almond milk, and vegan protein powder. I haven't been to the salon yet, but it's great that this is an option. Overall, I love this gym and I would go every day if I could.

    I only went twice and that was on a guest pass, I say that the service was not exceptional, but…read morethey were quite nice and it made for a pleasant experience. The facilities were nice and the equipment seemed new and well kept which is always a nice thing. The problem is the value, it's a little bit of a drive and not Central for where I typically am, and the cost is just astronomical. I would not consider this a gym, but more as a luxury inclusive area. It's got lots of fun amenities and I think they take good care of it for the most part, but I just can't justify the cost.

Not huge gym like O2 or Planet if that's best for you. Small to medium size gym. I really like this one and can go in early in the morning.

    I've been working out here since August, and I can honestly say joining Workout Anytime in Cary was…read moreone of the best decisions I've made for my health and strength goals. From day one, the experience has been excellent. I walked in, had a great conversation with the manager, Mike, about my goals, and within a few days I signed up for both the gym and personal training. Mike is knowledgeable, approachable, and truly invested in helping members succeed. My main goal was building strength, and with his guidance, I've not only gained strength but also lost weight and inches along the way. What really sets this gym apart is how personalized the training feels. Mike helped put together a training plan with different workouts and a plan that works with how I actually eat no extreme or unrealistic restrictions, which has made it sustainable and effective. That approach alone has made a huge difference. The gym itself is always clean, organized, and well maintained, and the recent updates to the equipment and locker rooms are a great bonus. I also love that it's open 24 hours, with secure scan access when staff isn't on site it makes fitting workouts into a busy schedule so much easier. On top of all that, the atmosphere is welcoming. The staff and members are friendly, and it truly feels like a supportive community rather than just a place to work out. I highly recommend Workout Anytime in Cary to anyone looking for a clean, well-run gym with excellent training and a positive environment.
