I have tried all kinds of workouts and this is no doubt one of my favorites due to how comprehensive it is. The benefits also extend to outside the studio- I have found I am a better athlete in my other sports like pickleball and golf because of what I practice in the studio.

I took a beginner class because obviously, but it was very apparent that nearly everything can be modified to your needs and abilities. The class was dynamic, the music was fun, and the other participants were super encouraging! It's very conveniently located near lots of shopping, so with the variety of offered class times, it's definitely something I can add into an errand or grocery run. I'm so glad I tried this, and I can't wait to come back for more classes!

CrossFit Full Armor is 5star. The purpose of any crossfit gym is to "prepare the body for any…read morephysical challenge, improving everything from endurance to overall strength and agility". CrossFit Full Armor does all this while also building off core principles of the Christian faith. The ultimate combination of true personal progress. I can't compliment enough about this gym and the people that comprise it. I have been out of crossfit and consistent lifting for 4 years and decided to get back in shape. From the minute I walked in to see if CrossFit Full Armor was a good fit, I felt greeted and welcomed, and received first class training based on where I was at fitness-wise. I was given a clear path to where I want to go and how to get there. Eric is a top tier trainer and coach and I value his genuine positivity, encouragement and ability to lead a class while providing one-on-one personalized pointers. Case and point, I got several stitches in my shoulder blade and wrote off being able to complete classes for fear of ripping my stitches. Instead, Eric texted stating that he could construct a workout that would focus on alternate muscle groups not impacting my shoulder and putting my stitches at risk of tearing. It meant a lot to me that Eric was invested in my personal fitness goals and willing to find a creative solution to the setback/handicap. The gym has a wide range of equipment, stations and provides all the amenities needed to have a full and well-rounded intensive workout. The class sizes are ideal, and you never feel like just a number. As a father of 2 young children, I really appreciate how open and encouraging the gym is to parents who are trying to be their best. There is a mezzanine in the gym that's set up to host children whose parents are working out - complete with books, toys and couches. My daughter has already enjoyed this area and the views from above watching the workout. Talk about great role modelling and teaching the importance of physical health, fitness and pushing yourself to achieve your potential. All in all, I couldn't be more thankful for such a gym and awesome faith-based community. No matter how hard the workout is I always leave feeling boosted from a fitness and overall positive mindset. Thankful to be a member of CrossFit Full Armor.

The one hour class was easy to follow for a new comer and you could easier tailor it to your fitness level as almost all of the activities we did were using your own body as resistance. We did a circuit workout with Tabata added in, a term I'd never heard of until my workout. Tabata is a high-intensity style of workout where you do twenty seconds on with ten seconds rest, with about 3-5 rounds of each exercise. I liked that we hit every muscle: legs, arms, backs and added in cardio with laps to start and in between muscle groups. The gym is build to help obstacle course races, so in addition to the circuit workouts they offer, they also offer almost anything you could imagine to train for your upcoming race: rope climbs, monkey bars, wall climbs, an assortment of hanging bars and rings to practice on and much more. If you're looking for a spot to train for your next obstacle course race, I'd definitely recommend Legend FIT Gym. And if you want to test them out before joining, they do offer a one week "trial" for newbies.

The bootcamp workout is very challenging, but has opportunities for scaling down. The obstacles are very cool and varied: a few different types of monkey bars, rings, ropes, a cargo net, an 8ft wall.

His positivity and encouragement make someone who dislikes the gym look forward to training sessions. Chris and his wife, Leslye, own the business and I love that I'm supporting a small business as the owner of a small business too. This is a great option for those who want one-on-one training without the fuss and "scene" of a bigger gym, where you have to pay monthly membership fees. This cuts away the crap - and just focuses on YOU and what you want to achieve. They have YEARS of experience doing this and remain passionate about fitness. There are two additional trainers there: Dawn (female) and Ashley (male). Let them know if you have a preference when you call to make an appointment! They have group fitness options as well, I simply stick to the single option because it's proven to work best for my lifestyle and personality. The stand-alone facility is the perfect size property off of Glenwood South in downtown Raleigh, easy to get to (I walk when the weather is favorable from my downtown Raleigh apartment and drive when it's cold - there's plenty of parking there) and they have had some clients for 10+ years. It's just a testament to the "family" atmosphere they've created and strive to maintain year after year. I definitely recommend Personally Fit if you want an individualized fitness plan.

My wife and I started going again this past January and we've had a huge boost to our health. The best thing about Chris and his staff is that they have great COVID safety practices, each workout is completely customized, and they LISTEN! I've worked with good trainers and bad trainers and the biggest difference is if they're listening to you, your workout will be more targeted, more effective, and you won't get hurt. Chris and his team are extremely good listeners. If you need to get healthy, this is the place to go.
