    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.

    Fitness Together is a great motivational place to get fit. They challenge you week after week…read more They really try to accommodate your specific athletic needs. There is accountability to exercise on a regular basis. I hate the hard work I have to put in, but enjoy the results. Thank you FT!! You have changed my life for the BETTER! Sean is a very hard but great trainer!!!

    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.
