The workout floor is massive and has every kind of machine you'd ever need. Also love how many different classes they offer here. I'm personally a huge fan of the CTR classes. The pickleball programming is run very well too. I'd like to see more DUPR sessions here or at least a monthly tournament, but overall it's great and the competition here is solid

If you're looking for the ultimate "athletic country club" experience in North Carolina, Life Time…read moreCary West (Alston Town Center) is in a league of its own. It's less like a gym and more like a high-end wellness retreat that happens to have world-class barbells. The Recovery & Social Scene The recovery suite is arguably the crown jewel of this location. Whether you're winding down from a heavy session or just need a reset, the cycle of sauna, steam room, and cold plunge is executed perfectly here. It's clean, spacious, and genuinely therapeutic. After you've finished your recovery, the Indoor/Outdoor bar is the perfect place to transition from "athlete" to "socialite." It has a fantastic vibe that makes it easy to grab a post-workout drink or a healthy bite while soaking in the atmosphere. Fitness & Studios The variety of training options is staggering: * Pickleball: With 3 dedicated indoor courts, the community here is thriving. The lighting and court quality are top-tier, making it easy to jump into a game regardless of the weather. * Mind & Body Studio: This space is a sanctuary. It's beautifully designed for yoga and meditation, offering a serene escape from the high-energy lifting floor. * CTR (Core, Tone, Reform): For those looking to master the reformer, the CTR sessions are intense and incredibly effective for building functional strength. The Verdict The only real drawback? If you're looking to channel your inner LeBron, you might be disappointed--I didn't notice a basketball court on-site. However, for most members, the trade-off for more pickleball space and the expansive recovery area is well worth it. If you value a luxury environment that balances hard training with high-end relaxation, this is easily the best club in the area

I don't know about you dear reader, but my past experiences with trainers have gone something like…read morethis: 1. Hire trainer 2. Show up on time, wait for them to arrive on time 3. Start workout 4. While they're checking their phone, finish circuit, stand there, wait for instruction 4. Continue workout while they talk about how great they are 5. Finish workout while they check their phone again 6. Rinse and repeat After moving here in October, I needed a serious trainer that could push me but not be a jerk about it and understand my limits. I believe this takes intelligence, discernment, and kindness. So I was beyond amazed when Sean (the owner) paired me with Omar. Omar is all of the above and more. He is: 1. Very kind 2. Really understands functional training - proper movements and sequencing so I don't hurt myself and really get the most out of each exercise 3. Always on time 4. Funny 5. Always asks how I'm doing with the movements and invites feedback 6. Knows how to listen and make changes accordingly I also like that the facility isn't too big and we each have our own pods to work out in. I don't know about you, but I often found myself getting lost and feeling insecure in big box, meat market gyms, regardless of how nice they were or how many amenities they threw in as marketing gimmicks. And this is why I love Fitness Together and why Omar is the best trainer I've ever trained with. Everything is straightforward and Sean is great about checking in with me. In fact, I'm on my second 90-day package and plan on continuing thereafter. We have a lot of fun together. Plus I get the support and accountability I need without all the narcissism so common in this industry.

I found this location to be relatively close to my home and I like that it's 24/7. I spoke with Andy on the phone and via text. The service Andy provides is excellent and Andy did a great job following up to ensure I could get a tour. Unfortunately, I settled on trying out another gym option but I look forward to circling back to Anytime Fitness if my current choice doesn't work out.

When I brought this to the owner, his answer was "because our facility is top notch and we have a bodybuilder like atmosphere which encourages a higher level of training at our facility". The facility is not top notch. Every other anytime fitness I've been to in the area has more equipment and is cleaner. They also are never any help when you come to them with questions about your "contract". I got a new credit card and needed to remove my card that was expiring from my payment method. The process was impossible. 2 weeks passed before anybody could give me an answer on how to change my payment method. Then, when it finally got switched, I got hit with late fees and a service charge totaling over $100. An absolute joke of a gym. Stay away at all costs.

My tour with Olympia was informative but also straight to the point. Most of my questions were answered. I was referred online for a description of the classes offered. I've visited a few times already for a few workouts. I like the turf training area. I have spent most of my cardio workout sessions on the elliptical machine. Very smooth cardio ride, with no squeaks, and the elliptical seems to be in good working condition. I enjoyed my free personal training session with Coach King. King's training style is challenging and motivating. O2 Fitness seems like a quality workout experience with and without a trainer. Overall good experience. I saw a machine that could use a dust down at the bottom (near foot areas), and at least one elliptical I used could stand to be replaced due to a worn-out part. I've found it to be a bit warmer than I would like for a gym (without a ceiling fan). Perhaps the temp of the AC should be reviewed.

Sign up for small classes where up to 3 groups work out at the same time. A well-trained coach guides the class through the workout. Workouts last for an hour and combine cardio with strength exercises. Orangetheory is for people of all fitness levels. During any given class, there are terrific athletes and non-athletes working out together. Nobody judges, and everybody is encouraging. OTF Cary-Macgregor is a newer studio. In spite of this fact, it already is one of the best. Jesse does a terrific job of managing the studio. He let me borrow a heart rate monitor without charge after I forgot to bring mine during one class. He took the time to chat with me even though I am not new to OTF. The workouts at OTF Cary-Macgregor were terrific. Jacob is a great coach and runs the classes perfectly. He welcomed me back and remembered my name when I attended my second class at this studio. A fun fact to note: I ran into the owner of a local Crossfit gym during one of my visits to this OTF. He apparently likes to do both programs. After an awful experience at OTF Morrisville, OTF Cary-Macgregor restored my confidence in the brand. I gave OTF Cary-Macgregor top marks in the survey that I was sent, and Jesse called to personally thank me. Thank you Jacob and Jesse for terrific experiences. If I'm still a member of OTF during my next visit to NC, I will certainly stop by this studio.
