It's nothing super special- the Lifetime in Cary is super fancy and nice, complete with lap pool and outdoor lap pool/water slide play area, but it also has a bigger price tag.

This is a 24 hour gym that you can go to outside of business hours, which is awesome. The monthly…read morerate is pretty reasonable for what you get. It is not a huge gym and doesn't have all the perks that some other gyms have, but if you want to just get a workout in, this gym has enough equipment for it - row machines, treadmills, ellipticals, and free weights. It has one cycling room and one group fitness room. Because it is not a huge gym, working out gets a little tough during peak hours. They also sometime have group classes in the general workout area, which really limits where people can actually work out. There were many times where I needed to cut my workout short because it was too crowded. I have taken a few of the group classes and enjoyed them. Most of the instructors were great. Unfortunately, most of the group classes did not work out with my schedule. If you are looking for a basic gym where you can do some weight training, get on a few machines, or grab a class- this gym is good for you.

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.

I stopped by to ask about a one-month membership, but instead of listening to what I was asking, I was interrupted, talked over, and treated in a dismissive, condescending manner. Customer service matters, especially when someone is considering becoming a member. The interaction alone was enough for me to decide to take my business elsewhere. I won't be back, and based on my experience, I'll be telling the people in my network to stay away from this gym.

I only went twice and that was on a guest pass, I say that the service was not exceptional, but…read morethey were quite nice and it made for a pleasant experience. The facilities were nice and the equipment seemed new and well kept which is always a nice thing. The problem is the value, it's a little bit of a drive and not Central for where I typically am, and the cost is just astronomical. I would not consider this a gym, but more as a luxury inclusive area. It's got lots of fun amenities and I think they take good care of it for the most part, but I just can't justify the cost.

I've been going to Lifetime Fitness Cary for about 4 years. Yes it's expensive, but I feel like…read moreit's worth it. I love the group fitness classes and I love that you reserve your spot in advance. They also just started a new Core Tone Reform class with reformers for regular members, and that class kicks your butt! I also really enjoy the sauna, steam room, and jacuzzis. Another benefit is the kids membership. My stepdaughter loves coming to the kids club for gymnastics, rock climbing, yoga, and more. I know that she is having fun while I'm doing a class. They have Parents Night Out on the weekends and that's such a nice perk! There's also day camps, which has saved us a few times when we needed child care during a school break. The pool is also wonderful in the summertime. The cafe food is average. I'd love it if the quality was amped up just a bit. The only thing I really ever get is the vegan PB& B shake. It's delicious! It has peanut butter, banana, cafe mocha greens, almond milk, and vegan protein powder. I haven't been to the salon yet, but it's great that this is an option. Overall, I love this gym and I would go every day if I could.

Plates were all over the gym, left on machines, and mixed up on the racks. It made finding the weight you needed more of a pain than it should have been. If I lived in the area, I'm not sure I'd be a member here. I also don't think I'd recommend others join the gym for this reason. But as a destination gym while traveling, it's definitely worth grabbing a one-day pass and getting a workout in. Good gym with great equipment, they just need to get a handle on keeping the weights organized.

I tried out the yoga which was offered by a virtual instructor. There were 3 instructors to represent different skill levels for reference. I felt great after the session! I signed up for a membership before I left. The facility is super clean, comfortable, and safe. Hotworx is open 24 hours so you can go to any of the virtual classes or simply sit in the sauna at times that work with your schedule. The hours referenced here are the times that there is someone working up front to show you the ropes (no pun intended) or answer questions. They were not super pushy with "selling" you on the membership. Give it a try. Worst case scenario you will get a beneficial infrared sauna session in!

I never thought that I would "enjoy" working out in any way, but I absolutely LOVE the workouts at Hotworx. Contrary to the feeling leaving other gyms where I feel not only self conscious, but completely exhausted, when I leave Hotworx, I feel rejuvenated and empowered. If you have not given the free trial a chance, I promise it is completely worth it and you will fall in love like I did!

Surgery was an option that all of my holistic friends felt was a bad decision, with risks and possible complications besides more time away from work and still more healing. But who could show me the other way? My personal doctor connected me with his physical therapist, who worked closely with Frank to help other people in my situation, and so I looked forward to working through my fears and pain, with Frank. WITHOUT SURGERY, I am stronger and more confident than I was before the injury 24 months ago, and now healthier at the age of 55. A weight routine does not concern me, nor my cardiologist and internist because we all know that Frank is monitoring what I do, in a way that gives me the most benefit, with the least risk of further injury. Each time I go home feeling good, not in pain for the next few days, and I still make significant progress, even more than my friends that do not work out with a trainer, but work out more often. He's my guide, coach, support, and now my friend. I could not do this without him, and that's why I recommend him to all of my friends, and especially other dentists, before they are injured. I recommend prevention over repair, and with Frank, the healing is even better than the health I had before the repair was needed. Either way, go and see what he can do for you.
