The gym is absolutely amazing, I moved from California and relocated here in Waynesville a couple of months ago and I was in search of a new gym and I haven't say this gym is amazing, they offer 24/7 access to all members, honour military, DOD staff employees, law enforcement, firefighters/fire rescue etc. The gym offers discounts for all membership sign ups as well as discount on products, they even have tanning services as well!! I absolutely love it here. read more

This gym is run right. From the equipment to the friendly staff and personal vibe. Of all the gyms I've tried , this one is my favorite. Rubber coated weights in the CrossFit area that anyone can use to try Olympic lifts with no fear of dropping the weight. read more

Crappy place with OLD machines. The place smells really bad and they charge "enhancement fees" that supposedly goes to things that break. They need to upgrade their machines and get rid of the smell along with the frivolous fees that are not used for what they claim. They only recently reupholstered some of the machines. Haywood Regional Fitness Center has brand new machines, a lot of classes, a pool and spa, racquetball and basketball court, etc. A much better option with no frivolous and bogus fees, masked as "enhancement fees." 2 weeks prior to my cancellation they charge another $20 "enhancement fee" KNOWING I canceled. Really? read more

Awesome facility! I've been a member for many years. More recently I started CrossFit training with their program CrossFit Yona. I had no prior experience with CrossFit or Olympic style lifts. The staff was extremely helpful and patient. I feel fundamentally stronger than ever. This week my brother has joined the gym. We are working with the latest equipment, Free Motion asymmetrical training. They also have Group classes available, I have taken Group Power and Group Active, so there are plenty of ways to switch it up. read more

The Urban Athletic Training Center has several good things going for it which set it apart from other gyms. First is the selection of classes and workouts available. They have everything from small group workouts, personal trainers, group classes (featuring Mossa developed classes such as Blast, Fight, Active, Power and Centergy), a wide selection of free weights, a variety of exercise machines and cross fit classes are also offered. No matter what your level of fitness you will find something for you. The routines of many of the classes also change on a regular interval so you will not get tired of doing the same workout all the time. Secondly is the friendly and professional service of the staff. You will find the staff not only friendly but also very knowledgeable on most all things pertaining to fitness. The staff are also not the pushy type that try to steer you down a certain path but instead encourage you to try all the gym has to offer so you can find what is best for you. Thirdly the gym also has contests on a fairly regular basis. The contests range from weight loss contests, to class attendance contests and can be a fun way to participate. Occasionally the gym also holds meets (for example boot camps which have a military theme) which are available for members wishing to try something outside the gym. The only bad thing about the gym is that it can occasionally be hard to find a parking spot just after 5 PM early in the week. To counter this the gym also offers a wide variety of services and classes at other times so it is easy to arrange your workout to dodge the rush hour workouts. Regardless of your fitness goals you will find many methods you can use achieve them at Urban Athletic Training Center. I have been a member for several years and I have successfully used the Mossa classes to loose weight and reduce my blood pressure to a safe level without taking medication. Come on out and give it a try, you will be glad you did. read more

Urban Athletic is the place to go! It's more than a gym! It's a support group of friends that motivate you to do better, to achieve more. When you think you can't, the staff, encourages you and says YOU CAN! Go try it out, it will be the best decision you make for yourself! read more

After an extremely disappointing visit to Tesa's, my sister and I drove to the Urban Athletic Training Center. We were greeted by an extremely friendly and knowledgeable gentleman (Casey). Their rates for tanning and gym membership are reasonable, and they even offer Zumba and Pilates classes for no extra charge with gym membership. Casey offered to give us a tour and a 14-day trial. The tanning beds are of wonderful quality, and the customer service is remarkable. They are open 7 days a week, and the hours are convenient. I highly recommend the Urban Athletic Training Center! read more

As one reviewer already said, the staff at Urban really sets them apart. They are helpful, friendly, knowledgeable and ALWAYS available. The other wonderful thing about Urban are their aerobic classes. They aren't just aerobic classes but engineered fitness programs specializing in the whole body through constant muscle confusion so there are no plateaus, boredom or anxiety. They take into account the whole body and find ways to utilize every muscle group, every body movement and every heartbeat. Strength training, cardio, balance, flexibility, stability, energy, stress relief, laughter, fun and good times can all be found at Urban Athletic. And that is just the upstairs . . . read more
