I always want to learn some boxing and here it is - a perfect place and location for me to learn…read more The coach is nice and wonderful. He not only gives boxing lessons but also gives instructions on cardio work out which is essential. Here, you can lend boxing wraps and boxing gloves and all you need for each class is to be there and get ready to punch some bags. Highly recommend!!

So I'm sitting here beside a bag of Nestle chocolate chips, watching the umpteenth episode of…read moreSYTYCD, probably slowing undoing everything I've accomplished here in the last year... Sorry, Coach! Since my last review B2B has actually moved locations. The downside, for me, is that it's a further commute which often winds up translating into me being late for class. But there are far more upsides. The new space, while similar in size, is much cheerier, with bright white walls and sunlight filtering in. It also has AC, which not only makes a more comfortable gym environment, also allows for class to keep schedule even in these hellacious 110-degree months. Harold has added a lot of additional equipment over time, including double-end bags, speed-bags that size down as small as a grapefruit, and some bane-of-my-existance ab wheels. And I still love coming here. From mitt-work to footwork, weight lifting to interval training, heavy-bag speed drills to track, it seems like we've done it all. But as soon as I start thinking that, Harold introduces something new and challenging and interesting. And it's effective. I've dropped weight, gained muscle, and really seen myself grow. In a recent push-up challenge to failure, I completed 81! Eighty-one push-ups, ya'll. From not being able to do a single chin-up, I can now knock out 3. Harold's been a big component of helping me reach my potential, but also to keep looking beyond that and strive for more. If you're looking for a truly unique workout in an intimate environment where you're sure to benefit from a personal approach to workouts, from an instructor who meets you where you are fitness-wise, do yourself a favor and check out a class here. A few quirks: no music & no mirrors (so no distractions; though sometimes I wonder about my form without being able to see it). Also no water cooler, so remember to pack a big bottle because you WILL sweat.

New boxing studio in the Chapel Hill area across from Tobacco Road…read more If you haven't tried out title boxing before it is fantastic! Especially if you (like me) had never tried boxing before. They are essentially high interval training with 3 minute rounds of boxing with a minute of either rest or low intensity between. Also a focus on core so and some strength so it isn't just cardio. The studio is very high energy with a lot of hip hop music and motivating coaches. Excellent for getting out any pent up aggression--(plus you feel like a b*d*ss after!) I love group exercise in general and they have good variety so while there is a lot of repetition, you don't notice it. They have a lot of classes throughout the day so fits almost any schedule. First class free! It is a lot smaller than the Cary gym tho so don't be expecting the same if you've been there!

This review is accurate for 2018 and one month in 2021. The workout itself is great! Fantastic…read morecardio and endurance workout. I first joined in July 2018 3 months after having knee surgery. When I was able to make classes led by Andrew I didn't have any issues. I informed any trainer ahead of time that I'm not sandbagging I'm pacing myself because while I was cleared to exercise, sprinting and jumping were not recommended. What do you think happened? If you guessed, the trainer kept coming over to "motivate" me, congrats! I finally had to explicitly say leave me alone in those exact words. The other issue is that there were never any morning classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I was never given a clear reason other than the lack of demand which wasn't true. The most egregious was the condition of the bags. You're supposed to take them down weekly and roll them to prevent the filling from settling on the bottom. When that happens the bottom is extremely hard like hitting a column and the top is just air. The bag won't move like it's supposed to and you'll hurt your hands. I don't know how that kind of oversight happens, especially with it being a franchise.

Courage Fitness was my first experience with CrossFit and like many people I was a bit nervous…read more about it, having heard about how intense the CrossFit community can be. Let me assure you that Courage Fitness is an extremely welcoming and supportive place to be, no matter whether you're just starting your fitness journey or are in fighting shape already. The coaches do a marvelous job of accommodating different levels of fitness and modifications for any injuries. I'm not sure how they're running things during Covid (I moved in July and had to end my membership) but previously they had two major categories of classes, the "Hustle" class which is a good starting point and is an intense "boot camp" style class, all body weights/dumbells/kettle bells. There's also the classic "CrossFit" style class scheme, with weightlifting and all that. If you've never done any weightlifting, don't worry, they'll set you up with a personal trainer (included in the starting package) who will coach you on basic form for all the requisite exercises and the coaches do a great job of helping coach you on your form during workouts. It's also a fantastic community. My first few workouts I had a hard time at points because the trainers had me laughing so hard. Yes, it a touch on the expensive side relative to a basic gym membership, but you're getting a planned set of workouts and a high level of personal attention.

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!
