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).

Jose Miguel is the sweetest studio manager and will always take amazing care of you and Kyle Yamakawa teaches the BEST yoga classes. His energy is on point and his instructions are always clear, helpful and fun! Hot yoga can get really tough and having an instructor that just exudes good energy and makes you giggle during class is just great. It takes your mind away from the hard task at hand and makes you realize that you're doing yoga for you and it shouldn't be all serious. Yoga should be fun, exciting and liberating and both Kyle and Jose do a good job of reminding you of that. Located in Brightleaf Square with free 2 hour parking at the lot right across the street. Easy commute in and out whether it's morning or afternoon. Highly recommend!

I knew of the kettlebell "getup" from workouts at the Y and had heard kettlebells were a distinct workout. I signed up for a workshop with Rapid Results Durham NC. Betsy Collie is amazing. I have been working with her for over a year. Her knowledge and enthusiasm communicated through out her workouts is the best I have experienced. Her company, Rapid Results is aptly named. Kettlebell workouts and stretching she incorporates has quickly increased my strength, balance and flexibility. She is fun loving, compassionate, and always teaching, teaching, teaching. She explains everything, she knows tons about not just technique but how and where it affects and strengthens. I like that I can work out at her place or via Zoom, she pays attention and helps all. I feel like a "there" participant. She customizes workouts weekly so we may be doing classic moves but are always learning something new which keeps the class interesting. You can work at your own speed and weight, no pressure except she will push you if she thinks you are lame ducking it, I believe is positive. She does the workouts with us so we can always see her technique. She walks it like she talks it. I highly recommend her and kettlebells!

Highly recommended.

I've been attending the Community Workouts at The 360 Approach for a couple weeks now because I'll…read moreadmit: they're addictive! The 360 Approach is a small, indoor, personal (they call themselves "boutique") fitness studio geared towards individuals or groups in a holistic way. Their aim is to look at the individual from a physical, mental and spiritual standpoint; and while I don't feel very spiritual when I'm working out, I certainly feel welcomed and supported at 360! Chan and Sariah are amazing instructors, they know your name and they know how to push you. The Community Workouts on Saturday mornings (7a, 8a & 9a) are fantastic! These 45 minute sessions get you awake and working your body in new ways each week. Most of these classes revolve around intervals or circuit training. You'll begin with a warmup and go into anything from tire flips, hill sprints, stair climbs (they are on the first floor of a five store building, perfect for stair running!), pull-up's and lots of weighted exercised. The instructors take time to explain each exercise and they won't partake in the class with you, but instead monitor and correct form (or just encourage you along the way!) 360 offers a large variety of classes, from fitness bootcamp classes to high intensity interval training and core, cardio and toning class to group runs, kettle bell classes and even zumba. Most of their classes are in the morning with the exception of a handful of Monday and Wednesday evening classes which go until 5:30pm and Zumba at 6:30pm on Tuesdays. They also participate in a lot of community fitness events and have teams for many of the local races. They'll provide you with sweat towels and water bottles at the studio, and while there are lockers at the studio, you won't find a bathroom locker area or showers. Make sure you follow them on Facebook for special offers.

Patrick is far more than a personal trainer. As a personal trainer and Exercise Physiologist, he has an exceptional understanding of exercise, health, nutrition, and how the body works. He has never used a one-size-fits-all approach. He pays close attention to my individual needs and abilities and continually adjusts my program as those needs change. One example really illustrates this. One day, when my lower back began to ache, Patrick switched our usual treadmill warm-up to the recumbent bike. It provided more support and made the warm-up much more comfortable. This is typical of Patrick--he watches carefully, listens, and adjusts what we are doing rather than simply following a predetermined routine. Patrick knows when to challenge me and when to be cautious. Over the years, he has helped me improve my strength, flexibility, balance, and overall fitness. Just as importantly, he explains why we are doing particular exercises and what they are accomplishing. Patrick is knowledgeable, patient, encouraging, and genuinely cares about his clients. His studio is private, extremely well equipped, and designed so that he can give his full attention to the person he is training. After more than twelve years, I am still learning from Patrick. He has played an important role in helping me stay active, strong, and independent as I get older. I recommend him without hesitation. Barbara V.

I was really excited when the new Pure Barre Durham opened in the new Shops at Erwin Mill shopping…read morecenter. I've checked out other barre places around the Triangle, and this one was right by my house! The class is exactly what you'd expect from a Pure Barre class (scripted, a routine you would know). You enter the studio, sign in, and set up inside the room. Barre socks are a must, so bring some with you. There are bathrooms both outside and inside of the actual room, and only one wall has a mirror - so you aren't forced in front of one if you don't want it. Both classes I took started late, which is annoying, but it was the first week they were open. I definitely think it takes more than once class to feel the workout - you'll spend the whole first class just understanding what's going on, so if you have the opportunity, a class package is the way to go. I purchased the 4 classes for $40 newcomers special (14 days to use). Unfortunately some of the days the studio was closed due to snow, but the owners were more than accommodating about adding a few days back onto the pass to cover it. However, it was nearly impossible to get into a class! Even a full week ahead of time, I could not get into a class or on a wait-list - AT ALL (I'm talking the entire weekend was full). So despite the owner's accommodation with adding a few days on to the package, I was only able to use two classes anyway. My suggestion: If you have time to take class during the off-peak hours (mid-day? I have no idea) then it's worth it, but otherwise, any kind of package that can expire might not be worth your money. This might be due to the fact that they just opened a few weeks ago, so hopefully as they hammer out a better schedule, include more classes, etc. this won't be an issue.
