I spent a week here visiting family and this is by far one of the best gyms I have visited! The staff is fantastic. Programming is great and their members are friendly and supportive. If you are ever in the area, go see them, you will not be disappointed! Megan Haubner read more

I was a member at this gym for a month after moving to Raleigh. The location was convenient and had good times for classes. It's a large box, tons of space and equipment to accommodate the larger class sizes. Open gym had plenty of slots as well, so if you want to check out a crossfit gym, this is a good contender. The reason I did not stay though was simply that it was not a good fit for the type of gym I was looking for - and that's okay. That has no reflection on the rating I'm giving, it was just more serious than I was looking for. If that's your vibe, you'll probably enjoy this place, I just prefer something a lot more laid back. What I will take a start off for is due to a couple of members who were a bit rude to me for just working out near them. It's a big gym but when you need a rig, you go where's there's space, so that wasn't great. And there's a good amount of plates that are broken and beaten up, way more than any other gym I've been too. That isn't a reflection on the owners, but more so the members as multiple classes had the coach ask people not to drop the lighter plates and it would still happen, thus the cracking. Other than that, the coach was good, owner is very passionate about it which is great to see, still a good place to check out. read more

Been going to this gym for about a month now, have never been a crossfitter by any means but jumped into crossfit with my girlfriend (who is much better than me) and honestly it's been amazing! Every single one of these members is awesome. Every single coach is awesome. Insanely helpful guiding me through techniques and good practices. Steve has come by me many times in the gym, before hip surgery of course, giving me pointers on thruster, butterfly pull-ups, muscle ups, etc... All of this to say if you're looking to get into crossfit or want to take the next step to be even more serious about it, this is definitely the place to go to! If you do NOT want to find HAPPINESS in EXERCISING do not come, because this group will make you find happiness in exercising! read more

On a short trip to Raleigh Durham I had the pleasure of dropping in at CrossFit RDU. I was greeted by josh and Steve the owner and they invited me into their facility as one of their own. After a brief intro of the gym I was let loose for an open gym session( keep in mind I do have a few years of lifting experience and if you are new they will help you learn). The facility is top notch and huge filled with all the best equipment but that's not all. The proof is in the pudding so to speak because they're producing some amazing athletes at this gym. I was checking out some of their daily workouts and Believe me they will make you better and stronger and faster. If you have any interest and increasing your quality-of-life stop by CrossFit RDU and see for yourself what they are made of. read more

CrossFit RDU - CrossFit RDU! A great facility and staff. - Interval Training Gyms Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

See all

It's a HUGE facility! I really enjoy the FREE bootcamp classes on Saturdays at 9am. At that time, there is also a CrossFit Kids class going on. The kids love to give high fives which I think it really adorable. The bootcamp class starts with a nice warm up. Then they go over the rules and everyone stands in a circle and introduces themselves. These workouts do not contain heavy weights. They usually have a mixture of pushups, sit-ups, running, wall balls, lunges, squats, jump rope, box jumps, and kettle bell swings. You usually work with a partner on the assigned workout. After the workout is complete, the whole group does an ab exercise together. This morning, the ab exercise was wall squats and planks. I am not currently a member, but it is very tempting! My friend has been a member of this gym for the past year and she is ripped! The results are tremendous. read more

Fun and welcoming drop in experience. I was signed up quickly and joined the group in warm ups. The coaches are more than helpful with some great pointers as well. Thank you for the experience! read more

Came to Raleigh for the weekend and was looking for a nearby Box to get a WOD in. I was fortunate to find and choose to go to RDU. Even before walking in the door, I was greeted and welcomed by all. Huge class on a Saturday morning and a very challenging partner WOD, but everything ran smoothly and even better had no problem finding a partner. I believe I was the first to have his partner before starting to warm up. Extremely pleased with the RDU community, their staff and impressive box; top class space and equipment. Thank you RDU and I hope to return soon. read more

I cannot speak highly enough about this place. I was a member for almost 2 years, but sadly had to move away from the Raleigh area. I am not your typical CrossFit athlete, at. all. And, the staff, and other members didn't really care. All the coaches care deeply about the athletes- and yes, if you workout there, you are an athlete. I know that I'll never find another gym like this place. Great coaching, great instruction with safety as a primary concern, and best of all- great community! read more

Free drop ins plus the owner Steve is one of the most genuine coaches I've met. You've got to visit this gym. It's probably the nicest one I've been to. Tied, platforms, 4 rigs, and a million GHDs. Crazy awesome facility with a staff too match read more

Amazing gym with amazing people! The coaches are top notch. If you want a good workout and to make some big gains on your goals this is the place. read more

CFRDU is truly a family and you will feel welcomed as you achieve your fitness goals in a Crossfit facility. read more

This is the largest and most well equipped facility I have ever trained at. It's especially nice since this is my home gym. I have dropped in at many other facilities across the SE and have not once found anything close to what we have here at RDU. I am extremely grateful for this every time I come train. The gym, coaches and community are second to none! read more

My wife and I dropped in while visiting Raleigh for the weekend. I could not have been more pleased with how welcoming, friendly, and helpful Steve and Coach Erin were. Erin even went out of her way to work with us closely to ensure that we had a productive, safe, and enjoyable experience. CrossFit RDU has terrific facility with all the equipment you could need and large open floor spaces. We will definitely be back when we visit again. read more

I don't usually write reviews, but Crossfit RDU has been the absolute best gym that I have ever dropped into, for both training, friendliness and support. I travel a lot for work, and have been to dozens of gyms, ranging from Hong Kong and London to Detroit and New Orleans. This gym went far above and beyond my expectations. This is for several reasons: 1. Friendliness- From the very first day, every one of the trainers (Steve, Josh, Meredith, and David) came up to me to introduce themselves, and remembered my name, had conversations with me, and gave me great 1 on 1 advice and coaching. On top of that, several members of the gym introduced themselves and had a conversation with me. I feel that that happens at some gyms, but the level of genuineness and respect was so clear to me. The place was just so friendly and supportive (support I will get more into later) 2. Training- Each time I went to the gym, the workouts were challenging varied, along with lots of advice on how to scale and how to work on form. It felt that the staff was very intentional with programming, and the rationale of each workout was clear; I could see how the weeks and months connected to develop each participant. Also, watch out for the Wednesday workout! I was there for a couple of weeks, and each Wednesday was super tough and fun! 3. Support- This is a tough one for me to write about, but it feels like an essential one to bring up. I had some serious family issues that came up in my trip that forced me to stay longer in the area. It was a very rough time for me emotionally. The way that I get through personal hardships is to exercise in many cases, so I went to the gym a lot during that time. When the trainers noticed that I was there longer than I told them, they checked in with me to see whats up. Once I told them what had happened, everyone expressed genuine concern about how I and my family was doing. One trainer in particular talked to me for a longer time, asked the name of my family member that was in the hospital, and told me that he was going to pray for them. This concern meant so much to me; it was small, but was something that moved me. They knew me for a matter of days, but showed me a level of care and concern that was astounding. These small acts of kindness helped me out so much over my times of hardship. The gym was amazing; rather, the people of the gym were amazing. The staff and members make this place, and I will always come in when I am in town. People always talk about Crossfit being a community. Honestly, I never believed that; always thought it's a great workout, but never considered it anything else. Crossfit RDU changed my opinion. I only wish that I could join and be a part of it more. If anyone in the gym is reading this, thank you for the support and kindness. It meant more than you could imagine. read more

My husband and I visited CrossFit RDU for the second time while we were in town this week. They were just as nice as I remember when I visited last year. The workout was challenging, and the coaches were encouraging. They make you feel welcome. The only thing I hate is that I couldn't make it back another day during the week :) Thanks again for having us! read more

I've been a member here for a year and I can't say enough good things about it. Steve and the other trainers are incredibly supportive. They push me to accomplish things I never thought I could do. But it's more than just a gym because the staff and members have become like a second family to me. I've never felt more supported and encouraged by everyone there. I work out harder than ever before, but it's always fun and keeps me coming back for more. read more

I was in town for a wedding a few weeks ago and stopped in to this fabulous box. It was amazing and HUGE and the coach (whose name escapes me) was really awesome. He even did the 100 burpees for time with the class. Everyone in the class was nice and encouraging- I didn't feel like an outsider. Not to mention drop ins are FREE which is another amazing thing :) I really encourage anyone who lives in the area OR anyone in the area for a short time, give it a try. The facility was really amazing, everything was new and the people are really nice :) read more
