    The YMCA at America Tobacco is my favorite of the three offered here in Durham. It's small enough to not attract too many people, but large enough for the essential machines and equipment. There is also a separate yoga and cycling room and a good sized mens and women's locker room with private showers.

    CFD is an amazing gym with brilliant coaches and programming…read more Everyone is very friendly and welcoming from the minute you join. I have been going here since October 2022 and I already feel an overwhelming sense of community. The programming here is somewhat like a crossfit gym but I find it even better! I have been doing crossfit for 3 years now and I honestly think CFD's programming has pushed me further than those 3 years did. They focus on a lot of strength with good form instead of "just go as heavy as you can" like in CF gyms. I also feel like the workouts are NOT a competition like at crossfit gyms. Most programming is not "for time", it is just about moving well for a preset time or amount of sets. The demographic at this gym ranges from young to older as well as beginners to experts in fitness. CFD welcomes all walks of life! The coaches help you adjust all exercises to meet your level of fitness. Something special about this gym is that they really take the time to get to know you and your movement style. When you start here they complete a fitness assessment which basically looks at your mobility and balance in strength between your left/right and upper/lower body. It is a very helpful tool to help identify strengths and deficits for each individual. I highly recommend joining this gym. It's in a great location and the staff are incomparable. There is nothing negative to say about Courage Fitness!

    Went in for an interview with this gym. From the beginning I said that I just wanted to try it out…read morejust to see if it's something I would like (2 classes a week). The operator was kinda rude after when I said wasn't expecting it to be so expensive when all I wanted to do was to try it out after being told to try it out she recommended 6 classes for $660. Yes I know pretty nice hunk of change just to try out a gym just to see if it's a good fit. And that her comment at the end really bugged me. She said we have been here before and we will be here later if you changed your mind. Making me feel like I really didn't matter. Definitely won't be giving this place a chance.

    My name is Jared and I have been going to gyms in the Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill area for over a…read moredecade. This is my first experience with a non commercial gym but I could not be happier with the facility. Steve and crew are real gym people and it is evident in the equipment selection and layout. You can find everything you need to get an amazing workout across any modality of your choosing. The pricing model is also one of the best in the area. 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. Last but not least 24 hour access is a must for gym goers with busy schedules. Love this gym! Come see why for yourself.

    I would like to add I do pray and hope the small business owner and his family do well! However-…read moreWATCH OUT LEAVING A REVIEW! If you leave a slightly negative review the owner will personally text you extremely upset and angry even if the entire point of the review is to help give insight to an issue...(originally I gave it 3 stars but dropped it down to 1 after this event) Heres my initial review - "I would give it a higher rating if they used AC- hear me out! 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!!" Because of this review ^ I was messaged and the owner was.. well, Ill just share some of what was said. As someone who also works in a small family business it was an interesting response when dealing with business! I know a few people personally that got their membership in winder not knowing they didn't have AC either, and honestly it was just kinda shocking.

    The Method is the cleanest and coziest gym i have been to. The team did a great job to have…read moreeverything sanitized all-the-time and keep everyone healthy. Other than training facilities, there are nice paintings and personalized music playlist. I started my training with Corey in the middle of the pandemic (Dec, 2020). Corey is the most knowledgeable trainer in both strength building and nutrition planning I have ever met. Corey has been tracking my progress and adapt the programs as my fitness goal changes. After 102 workouts, I feel much stronger and healthier. Amazing gym! Amazing trainer! Truly recommended.

    I've been working out with Trey (one of the personal trainers) for about 10 sessions so far and…read moreI've had a very positive experience (well, there was some muscle soreness but that was a good thing!). Maitland's Method might not be on your radar for personal fitness because it's not one of those big conglomerate gyms, but you should definitely consider it. Just to give you a summary: - This gym is primarily for personal training but you get access to some of the equipment as a regular client - They offer individual and partner training sessions (partner sessions are half the price which makes it very affordable) - Emphasis on strength and resistance training - Lots of very solid equipment and free weights Maitland and his team have a long history of strength training -- check out the wall of bodybuilding trophies and photos when you walk through the entrance. Among their trainers are bodybuilding champions and an ex-NFL linesman. You don't need to be an aspiring bodybuilder to appreciate the workout routine. There's a diverse mix of clients -- men, women, young, and old. Each trainer follows Maitland's method (hence the name) which has been refined over many years. Still learning about the method but so far so good! The trainers help you throughout the routine, keep a log of your exercises, and help you build fitness plans (for inside and outside the gym). For someone like me that forgets to count reps, this place is a godsend. My workout has become much more focused and efficient. I use to be able to waste hours at the gym when I was younger but now I recognize the importance of getting the most out of the time as possible. The extra cost for personal training has been well worth it! Trey has been especially friendly and effective. At nearly 7' tall and built like a football player (no surprise he use to play for the Colts) he might seem a little intimidating but he's actually probably one of the nicest guys you will ever meet. The exercises have been safe and I've been able to blend my new routine with soccer and running. He's helping prepare me for a marathon and build muscle at the same time (which will hopefully help prevent injury).
