I found this gym in January and out of curiosity, I decided to sign up for their Bootcamp deal,…read moresince it was only 50 for the first month. I was returning to working out following an injury, and during that first class Morgan was super accommodating and showed me how to do all of the movements properly, ensuring I was comfortable and getting a good workout. The first class was so fantastic, I decided to sign my mom up. Almost three months later, we have each lost 15 lbs, gotten a hell of a lot stronger, and gained confidence in the gym. I've switched over from the Bootcamp to the full CrossFit membership and though the barbells were intimidating, the coaches made the transition so easy. The community is incredible, every single one of the coaches are caring and knowledgeable, and this gym got my mother to go from never having worked out beyond walking to weightlifting. Definitely stop by and try it out if you can!

I attended CrossFit Local (CFL) for the better part of two years, during which time I attended…read moreabout 175 classes. I liked it a lot at first but now have more mixed feelings, and recently switched to another gym. It's a nice facility, lots of space with high ceilings and big fans, and easy access to the back parking lot for running and any other outdoor exercises. It's clean and has great equipment (maybe aside from the bikes, which aren't used in workouts anyway). Everything is maintained very well. The coaching at CFL is terrific. Members get lots of individual attention even in the group setting, with good instruction about proper technique and plenty of encouragement when the going gets tough. Classes typically start with an icebreaker and a thorough warmup. CFL also has a good member community. It's a friendly and supportive environment. Class sizes are very reasonable -- a typical class might have anywhere from 5 to 8 people. Rarely did I feel cramped during workouts, even when the classes are bigger. The programming has more of a focus on strength than conditioning. There's a particularly heavy emphasis on the Olympic lifting and powerlifting. Each class has a conditioning aspect as well, but some other CrossFit gyms offer more in this regard. In general, the workouts lack the variety of movements that I've seen at other gyms. Not much core work, for example, and no bike work as noted above. So while you will definitely get strong if you go to CFL, it's not the most well-rounded exercise experience in my opinion. It really just depends on what you want. In terms of COVID-related safety precautions, nobody there seems to care very much. The classes usually occur indoors even when the weather is nice. Members are welcome to do it outside if they prefer (which may or may not be practical depending on the workout), but most people just do it inside, with no real effort to social distance or anything like that. In that sense, it's kind of like this weird alternate reality world where COVID doesn't exist, or at least isn't a big deal. If you're not that concerned about it and don't want to be inconvenienced by preventative measures, then this could be the place for you while other gyms have more restrictions in place. But if you are concerned about it, I recommend staying away for the time being.

I am currently on a personal trainer package which allows me to bring clients in for 1 on 1 training, a service that is not available at commercial gyms.

Theres a sky rocketing amount of auto-immune diseases and heat regulation can be very hard for people. Also no one wants to work out in 80+ degrees :( (At least a large majority of people don't want to, from personal experiences) You could def pour water on yourself though to stay cool if you have a poor time temp regulating if you do decide to go to this gym!!"

The group of people that you meet here all treat you as family and every workout you're given can be scaled to your own personal level of fitness.

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.

Customer service? No. Will they nickel and dime you? Yes…read more Most premium gym memberships will allow you to bring a guest once in a while, but when I wanted to work out with my friend who was back from college, they advised me that my membership type had changed and that I had purchased a membership that didn't exist anymore so they would have to charge him $20 which they just slapped on my account. OK, fine a few months later I got a new card number and they charged me a $25 "card decline fee." I never agreed to that and the original contract, and it's not a bank account. Ben, they started charging a card processing fee in the middle of my contract. I had surgery in April and I called and emailed the staff and no one answered. I tried to pause my membership. I had multiple hospitalizations, and surgery again in June however, during all this time I made at least 10 phone calls and five attempts to contact bucked up via email and no one replied. I ended up having to go through my card company to charge back the monthly dues. The overall attitude and like a responsibility about staff is sickening. Customer service is worse than planet fitness. You can easily find most of the same features, if not more at planet fitness or O2 fitness. If you really want a premium gym experience, there are plenty of other options in Cary / Raliegh.

During the middle of the day, it's fairly empty, so there's maybe only 1-3 other people there during off-peak hours. Even in peak times, I see everyone working in with each other without any hassle. Desmond recently gave the place a really nice renovation with some new racks, so it's looking good there. Even before then, the gym's got all the equipment I need to get my workout done and then some. I always feel welcome here, and Desmond greets me by name anytime he sees me come in. If you just want to lift and don't need classes/training, the $20/mo is absolutely a great deal.
