Visited the Northwest Cary Y for the first time while in the area killing time. Upon arrival I told…read morethe front desk it was my first visit. I wish there was a value add, such as a tour offered since it was my first time or even a brief description of the gym setup. The indoor track was nice. There are a variety of strength training equipment located throughout the gym space and not just in one area. I liked how things were spaced out with the opportunity to even be away from crowds. All the machines seemed well kept up and the space was clean. Once upstairs near the cardio machines I couldn't find the towel booth and honestly there wasn't anyone available to ask. The staff here seem pretty hands-off and extremely involved in socializing with each other, I guess this is the norm.

We also got to meet Anna at the front desk. She is very personable, energetic, and helpful. This gym has a pool, hot tub, sauna, steam room, multiple pieces of workout equipment, women only workout area, and several group fitness classes such as aqua fitness, cycling, yoga, Pilates, strength training, and dance classes. They also provide personal training for an additional cost. We have been enjoying taking a variety of the group fitness classes and using some of the other equipment and resources that are offered. Many of the instructors and trainers that we have met are friendly and helpful. Members are able to register for the classes through their app. There is a parking structure located near the gym and locker rooms with lockers.

I've been wanting to join a crossfit gym for awhile now. I've looked at a few places around the…read moretriangle area but every crossfit places I've seen seem to focus on muscle ups and their egos. Definitely not what I'm looking for. It's intimidating as it is already to be out of shape so it's nice that I found archetype online. And by no means am I fat, but I want to lean out more and it's just nice to have such a variety of people that are just focused on the same goal. I'll be honest, it's not the biggest gym but it fits everything you need for a good workout. If this is your first time joining a crossfit gym, this is the place to go. (1) Coaches are approachable. They're not looking you up and down and making you feel bad. Trust me, I've seen some places. (2) If you're looking for a community of people who just want to lose weight with or if you're like me and just tired of the regular routines and enjoy circuit training, this is the place for you. I weight lift but occasionally get lazy with the same old workouts. So this is fun for me. I'm sure you'll also enjoy it. (3) Location is perfect. Far for me, but perfect location-wise. (4) They have a morning schedule (that I can't make) and they have late afternoon schedule that usually between 5 to 7 pm. They have some sessions on Saturdays mornings only. (5) Their is a meal plan that they suggest you follow. My only take on that is if you plan to lose the weight you probably should be dieting anyway. I had just lost 10 lbs before attending attending this place. There is no trick to it I think. Self discipline. It's definitely worth checking out. There are things to improve but honestly worth staying or at least checking out. It's a hole in the wall crossfit spot, and I like that.

The workers are friendly and helpful, and the facility has a lot to offer. The aquatics center in particular is fantastic, the depth of the pool at it's deepest is 11 ft, and at the shallowest is 4 ft. For members there are times during the week and on the weekend for "kids swim" so that all members of the family can join! The basketball courts were recently redone this past year (2014) so that NC State's team could practice there for a few months, so they are really fantastic to play on. All and all I have had a great experience with this gym, it is very popular among students and almost never too crowded to break a good sweat. Definitely check it out! Even if you're not a member I believe the price for a day-pass is $10 which is pretty reasonable!

I lived off campus, so I always went home straight after my classes and omg when I found out about Carmichael's classes and facilities, I was like "Man, I was missing out the whole time!!". Couple of my friends started going to the gym and they dragged my ass one day and that's how I found about Carmichael's classes. I get bored super quick if I have to workout by myself, but I can take classes over and over as long as there are some people around me. My favorite classes are body pump and cardio dance. Becca and Jenna are my fav teachers and all of teachers are really nice. They motivate you throughout the entire class and I'm telling you, these classes? phew! a great workout! You may think that meh, school classes.. but I think classes that they offer here are the best & most fun classes I've taken in the Triangle by far. Reasonable price for member, lots of classes you can take and I love their facilities(omg you should see their treadmills! you can watch Netflix, do your SNS, watch TV, and so much more!!!). Also, they offer lots of fun events every Friday called Happy Hour! If you have a family member who goes to NCSU, I def recommend you to try them out!

I really enjoyed the elliptical, leg press, leg curl, Ab and bicep curl machines here. At the time I visited the space was not crowded which is greatly appreciated. This allowed me to freely use whatever I needed without the crowds and waits. I love this for me in any gym. The amenities are great. The indoor pool, sauna and hot tub are a really nice touch here. I look forward to returning to try out some of these options. As far as the price point it's up there in price in comparison to my Y membership. I think for the peacefulness and quality of equipment in this space - it may be well worth it if it's meet one's expectations. My only point out here was some cardio machines could use some dusting. They could also use some new towels here or some fabric softener would help soften the towels. I recommend bringing your own towels.

This was only my 2nd time to the facility and I was interrupted by the owner who knocked on the changing room door to accuse me of using his facility as a "pit stop" for a shower. I tried to explain to him he was mistaken about my first visit and to check the cameras of my time at the facility. I'm not sure why I had to even explain that scenario or prove this but he had no interest in looking at the footage and he rather I didn't use his facility. Clearly I was changing from business clothes in to work out clothes to begin a workout over my lunch hour while having this very confusing conversation with him. I've been a long time Snap Fitness patron at a different location and was excited to learn this location was close to my office. I'll absolutely not be returning. I very rarely review things but I'm shocked how any establishment treats their customers like this. As a result of his actions, I'll be canceling my membership.
