My girlfriend and I joined last November when they offered some pretty reasonable plans…read more So it's been a few months - and I can say, they're a stairmaster above the rest! The staff here really and truly cares. As you get checked in, you'll probably will be greeted by Maggie. You'll know her, by he model-esqe eyebrows, and her, "I can solve your issue, look!" She is very sweet and really can fix just about anything with your membership, or questions. The have personal trainers available that are pretty reasonable ... $45 for half-hour. Thats' cheap. I have Mckinze. She's great. I'm 'silver' and there to gain strength and lose weight. I"ve already dropped 8 lbs, not even trying. They serve the most delicious protein shakes I've ever had. They are 20 oz and have a full array of good stuff. I treat myself once a week. They serve about 10 different flavors. ** place is spotless. And it's traffic flow works; I am sure the owners gave a lot of thought to this. What I really like at Fitness World is the amazing diversity of classes they offer ... for FREE! (most of them). There is something for everyone. I like the strength and balance classes. Another feature, which sold me, is there is a dry sauna in the men's shower area. I LOVE THIS !! Feels so good to sweat out all those toxins. I can't say enough good things about this gym. Durham is fortunate to have it. And, the owners are there everyday, so they are involved unlike P.F. I met the wife of the owner, Robin. She is vivacious, sparking personality and will help you with questions, but if there's a real problem - - go see Maggie ...lol. The only down side, is that parking can be an issue during peak times. But hey, you're there to exercise, walk an extra parking space. Try it - you'll like it !

This gym used to be way better maintained under the previous owner. When Fitness World took over…read morethe operation they at first made noteworthy investments in the equipment and I was impressed. Since then, they have continued to allow equipment facilities to deteriorate. And my rating is only about the equipment upkeep and maintenance and NOT about the quality staff that they continue to have working there. I've uploaded several images (none are dupes) that I took today to illustrate my point. the broken or missing machines have been in the state for several months so it's not like it just pooped up this week. I enjoy going to the gym but no one I speak to seems to know when anything will be fixed. They are just told "we're working on it"

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.

I'm currently coming here for shoulder PT. I'm super impressed with my therapist, but not so much…read morewith the other staff. They haven't been the nicest or easiest to work with. Some how I got scheduled for a couple of pool sessions by accident. However I wasn't able to cancel it online. I had to call which was a headache. I had to jump through so many hoops!

"Fitness center just off Duke's west campus"…read more My regular gym has been closed for renovations, so I came here for a few weeks. A one-month guest membership was $70 for Duke employees, but it took quite a good 30 minutes just to sign up (needed to verify things, take my picture for ID, etc.). It's not a "high-end" fitness center with lattes, but it's certainly acceptable. They had some group exercise classes, but I didn't really look into those. Median age of people I saw there (~6:30-7:30am) was ~60 years old or so. It did seem like one emphasis here was for rehabilitation, too: one of the first things I saw after entering was a big set of rolling walkers. The layout is a bit odd-- large track circling various pieces of equipment, with free weights in one corner and bikes (for spinning classes) in another. I was never clear what the very center was for-- perhaps some sort of sport that wasn't being played in the early morning hours I went. Much of the equipment seems old. There was a lap pool in a room off to the side, but I never tried it. Positives: + Friendly staff + You get a locker key each time you check in (while they hold your car key) + Towel service + Sauna Potential negatives: - No TVs or other good distractions - Awkwardly large layout - Uncurtained group men's shower Synopsis: I was fine with this facility for a few weeks, but I definitely felt out of place as likely the youngest or second-youngest person exercising there in the early hours (and I'm in my 40s).

We have been members on and off, the experience has been always top notch. The space is clean and…read morewell maintained. What we love is walking/jogging loop upstairs very useful when outside gets too hot or cold which is almost 70% of the year here in NC. There are enough weight machines, sometimes one has to be flexible to rotate. The swimming pool and sauna is a nice addition. We haven't explored the classes they have some are paid and some are free. The employees are attentive and respectful and hours open are quite wide to meet almost everyone's needs.

I have been a member here since before the pandemic in 2020 and being that I personally go to the…read moregym to maintain my fitness goals and not the social scene ie. Club Lifetime, it's perfect. I am a working professional who goes to the gym in the early am (5:00-7:00) is the time I frequently go and my workouts are completed in a timely manner with room to hit the sauna if desired. I do know this is a family staple. there are many kids/teens during later hours but I avoid them easily with my regimen and timeframe! The price is great for a pool, sauna, classes and equipment. If your looking to be social, meet friends and more it's possible but to say this hospital affiliated fitness center is not clean as most gyms is ridiculous, if anything they are getting inspected far more than most centers being in relationship with UNC. Lastly because I have history here, the morning staff (Meg and crew your awesome humans) are the best, they get to know your name personally and help whenever needed! The sauna does not have split wood, I know bc I've been going for almost 5 years now and lastly it's worth every penny I can go to the gym as a single woman comfortably which is most important.
