The place is located in an open air plaza right off the road, and took me a second of driving to find it. First impression of the facility - great open space, nice equipment, and a great upbeat owner that greeted me at the door: Erin Studdard. She was so motivational throughout the whole workout and remembered everyone's name. The workout itself: WHEW! It had me close to passing out for my first time. Erin does an amazing job of tailoring and modifying to your level/injuries, which is important. She also implies a full lifestyle approach, focusing on nutrition/diet and a balanced intake aside from the high intensity workout. I wasn't bored for a single minute. The thing that gets this place five stars is that they have childcare in the facility. The person watching the kids is super nice and seems to handle kids very well. Also, all the ladies that I met were super friendly and welcoming to newcomers! I look forward to going back for more! Definitely give this place a try!

Outdoor boot camp. You might not feel Marine-ready after, but you :will: feel like a bad-ass. On…read moreTuesday and Thursday, they offer Boot Camp and Zumba at 7pm, for $5. You'll pay, start with 5 laps, and a warm-up of jumping jacks, high-knees and so on. Then you'll split into groups of ~6-8 and start the real work-out. The day I went, it consisted of quick weight-lifting intervals done with makeshift equipment -- sand bags, heavy poles, etc. -- and/or body weight. I thought there was a good mix of upper- and lower-body focus. And my heart rate stayed up for most of the hour. Frankly, I thought the exercises could have been more challenging. But given the heat, and dirt, and bugs that come with working out outside, the less-intense level was kind of nice. The instructor offered some encouragement, and engaged with the group to keep us motivated, but also keep the mood light-hearted. There were about an equal number of girls and guys, and the group's fitness level was very diverse. So it's not too intimidating! Parking is kind of a pain-in-the-butt (my car got blocked in behind a few layers of late arrivals), but there's a neighboring lot that I noticed other people were spilling over into, so I'd recommend doing that.

A great place to get fit! I first started coming here…read morebecause of a livingsocial deal, but I can't get enough. The workouts are fun and challenging. My favorite classes are the extreme outdoor bootcamp and the full throttle class. At bootcamp you get pushed to your limits with burpees, hurdles, tire flipping, and more. Full throttle keeps cardio interesting with intervals the treadmill, row machine, strength exercises and more. I appreciate that it's affordable and you can walk -in without a membership (although they do have a membership option). Although I have a gym membership, I've found myself coming here more often than the gym.

O2 Fitness in Durham NC did not disappoint…read more The facility is very clean, extremely spacious, well-maintained, and fully stocked with top-tier equipment. Whether you're into heavy lifting, functional training, or cardio, they have everything you need. The staff is friendly, professional, and genuinely helpful -- you can tell they actually care about members and creating a great gym culture. The atmosphere is motivating without being intimidating, which makes it perfect for both beginners and serious lifters. Locker room was clean and the layout was spacious. To all my fellow Iron Addicts... If you're serious about your fitness and want a gym that delivers on quality, O2 Fitness is absolutely worth it. Highly recommend!

I had a negative experience at this gym because of one trainer's attitude. Erin came across as…read morecondescending and acted as if she owned the place, which made the environment feel uncomfortable and unwelcoming. I don't expect everyone to be overly friendly, but I do expect basic professionalism and respect, especially from staff or trainers working around members. The gym itself may be fine, and other people there may be great, but this interaction left a bad impression. I would be hesitant to recommend the gym unless management does a better job making sure trainers treat members with respect.

In an hour-long workout you rotate between rowing machines, treadmills and free weights/TRX for the perfect mix of cardio and strength training. Plus, the instructors at the Meadowmont location are fantastic. They keep you on track and motivated, and provide great instruction so you perform the exercises with the proper form. And, by using the heart rate monitor to track my effort level throughout the workouts, I've seen significant improvement in my performance over the past three months.

Love OTF.... but current Meadowmont OTF studio customer service sucks…read more After 18 months loving my OT Beat Link (Apple Watch heart rate monitor), I recently lost it. It was a great option for me so I bought a replacement OT Beat Link ($140) on Monday at Meadowmont which is currently my home studio. I finally *found* my lost OT Beat Link on Tuesday night (of course ;-), and then proceeded to return the never-used-still-in-the-box-with-all-the-parts new OT Beat Link on Wednesday morning at Meadowmont. I was informed there is a strict no return policy for all heart rate monitors... doesn't matter if the device is still in the box and has never been used. I hate to give the Meadowmont OTF studio a negative review. I have been an OTF member based at Meadowmont studio for over 8 years, and overall OTF is awesome. I wish current Meadowmont OTF management had better customer service, IMO they used to do much better. Luckily there are several OTF studio options in the area and I would highly recommend trying those over Meadowmont.... I have found the MLK OTF studio in Durham to be a superior option and there are a couple other studios in the Chapel Hill/Durham area.

These are not those run-of-the-mill type routines which you can find on a DVD.

I highly recommend Isotolp Fitness. Go ahead and give Chris a call and you will be happy you did.
