While I still have much to explore, this review is going to based off of my first impressions…read more Walking in, the facilities are modern, clean, and expansive. So far I've really only been to the locker room and the main lifting area (I'm assuming) on the ground level. The front desk staff has been friendly, and there is a store I want to explore on the right as you walk in (heard good things). It's clear both inside and from the outside that there is much more to the building but that will be for as time progresses. Very much a "lifters" gym due to the vibes, the color palette is fairly dark and muted, primarily consisting of various shades of gray and black with an occasional red accent. On the wall there is a large mural of two bodybuilders, next to a 16 tv array display showcasing the game, or Ronnie Coleman lifting videos. On the floor there is a plethora of equipment, truly anything any lifted would need or even really want. The space is large, and with that packed with equipment while maintaining healthy spacing between pieces, which is very much appreciated. When it gets busy there may be a tad wait for some pieces but that is anywhere, and very reasonable. Staple workout pieces have multiples such racks and benches, and so for those it's fairly unlikely you will have to really wait. The equipment is modern, clean, and seems to be well maintained. The one qualm I have, which very well may be just due to me going later in the day, is the inconsistency of the weights. There are plenty of weights available, but they vary in size/brand/type a lot. Most seem to be iron, but the brands vary so even if the same weight, the sizes vary slightly. Now I don't necessarily mind loading up a bar "asymmetrically", but at the same time it would be kinda nice if I could have matching plates. I understand this is a small and insignificant thing, just one I noticed, and something that could also be very much due to gym goers moving stuff around. If you're going to the gym primarily to lift, I'd likely recommend this gym.

Customer service? No. Will they nickel and dime you? Yes…read more Most premium gym memberships will allow you to bring a guest once in a while, but when I wanted to work out with my friend who was back from college, they advised me that my membership type had changed and that I had purchased a membership that didn't exist anymore so they would have to charge him $20 which they just slapped on my account. OK, fine a few months later I got a new card number and they charged me a $25 "card decline fee." I never agreed to that and the original contract, and it's not a bank account. Ben, they started charging a card processing fee in the middle of my contract. I had surgery in April and I called and emailed the staff and no one answered. I tried to pause my membership. I had multiple hospitalizations, and surgery again in June however, during all this time I made at least 10 phone calls and five attempts to contact bucked up via email and no one replied. I ended up having to go through my card company to charge back the monthly dues. The overall attitude and like a responsibility about staff is sickening. Customer service is worse than planet fitness. You can easily find most of the same features, if not more at planet fitness or O2 fitness. If you really want a premium gym experience, there are plenty of other options in Cary / Raliegh.

Definitely affordable. Personally, I spend a lot of time on cardio machines and lifting weights. On the top floor, a variety of machines are sectioned out for different styles of workouts. I usually go late mornings, so it's pretty empty and most of the machines are open. It's not really a "grunting" type of gym, but there are individuals that seem to workout vigorously anyway. The downfall is that you get what you pay for. There are very few classes available, and only at select times. If you're big on group fitness classes, I would not join. Also-- the studio on the top floor is usually empty (when there are no classes taking place) and locked. I love to go in there and do my workouts in the open space, but it is not an option. I don't regret joining this gym, but for the gym enthusiasts, this probably isn't the place for you.

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.

I have been a Planet Fitness Cary client since 2018. I took a brief hiatus during COVID but…read morereturned once the facility reopened. I think that we have had a very good relationship. There was a time when folks at the front desk knew my name, and we exchanged pleasant salutations during check-in and check-out. Two weeks ago, I fell on the ice and broke my knee. I am having surgery next week and will not be able to work out until mid-July. I decided to pause my Blackcard Membership until July of this year. Well, that is when my road to perdition started. First, I tried to accomplish this task online. It is 2026, and most businesses allow clients to transact business online. Not Planet Fitness. The chaotic web client insisted that I call a toll-free number to accomplish this task. Ok, I contacted an individual in their offshore call center. Now, Mephistopheles was not his name, but I knew what he was up to just the same. After asking me why I wanted to modify my membership and other non-sequitur questions, he told me that he could not fulfill my request. He stated that he was not authorized for such transactions. I would have to call another toll-free number and talk to someone else who "could also not help me." Well, that made our ten minutes on the phone most worthwhile. After calling the second toll-free number and connecting with a domestic call center, the outcome was eerily similar. After discussing the issue for about 5 minutes, I was told that I would have to go to the facility, broken knee and all, and modify my membership there. So, I got a ride, broken knee and all, to the facility over the 5 kilometers. At this point in the never-ending story, my personal Dante's Inferno, my goal was to cancel the membership. So I did. The personnel at the front desk were extremely rude and showed no concern when a patron walked in with crutches and an extensive knee stabilizing unit. No "how are you today, sorry to see your misfortune," or even a hello. Just "matter of fact" if you want to cancel, cancel. OK!! My goal at the beginning of Gulliver's Travels was to suspend the membership until my knee allowed me to return. Now, my relationship with this business is over. When my recovery allows me to return to a gym, it will be to Life Time Fitness or some other quality establishment that knows how to treat clients. If I could give the Cary Planet Fitness a rating lower than one star, I would. Be very cautious of the facility! Any business that makes it this difficult to modify or cancel a membership cannot be on the up and up! Some people look at the price and ignore the value-added proposition. Sure, the price may look great, but the customer service and crowded conditions challenge the value proposition. Look before you leap, the Judgement Free zone is also a "customer-service" free zone!

The workout trend Pure Barre is designed around getting that dancer body... But through totally different means! I'm talking dubstep. Blasting as girls place kickballs between their thighs, then squat, tuck, and tooch (to borrow a term coined by Miss Tyra). It's true: I never thought I'd be booty-tooching to Scrillex... outside the privacy of my own home. The workout started with some simple stretches and upper body routine, and some floor work in the form of plank and pushups. They only have dumbells in 2, 3, and 5 pounds. The short number of reps and low weight made this section of class completely un-challenging for me. But that disappointment was eased by the next part, where we stepped to the barre and focused on hips, thighs, and --as they like to delicately call it in Pure Barre-- "seat*." [*I don't have a seat. I have a bubbalicious boo-tay. Which is why I wanted to go to this class in the first place. So for clarification purposes in this review, my seat will instead be termed butt.] The most annoying thing for me was that the instructor demonstrated very few of the positions (perhaps due to lack of space on the barre); and it was difficult for me to follow her instructions some of the time. Many of the movements are so isolated, it's hard to look at a classmate and copy from what they're doing too. So parts of it did not feel tough... which left me wondering if I was doing the movement correctly. But other parts had my entire lower body shaking like a leaf, butt and quad muscles on fire. And I absolutely felt those muscles recovering the following 48 hours, so I know I did at least some of the things right! Class finished up with some ab work, which I also felt was too easy, and some finishing stretches. One hour flies by pretty quickly. And I can definitely see the appeal in a class that's shaped like this... getting all the core muscle groups into one workout. But I would personally prefer a class that focuses exclusively on the lower body, to round out my own exercise regimen and perhaps benefit my running as well. I did a drop-in class that was specially priced at $10; reasonable. (Their regular drop-in is $23.)
