Archetype Strength was designed to help people achieve life-changing results in the most effective and fun way possible. We can help you find a 24-hour access strength gym or a personal trainer to guide you.

The coaches at the gym are really helpful and motivated me to improve my strength. When I started going to the gym 4 months ago, I could barely lift 5 pound weights. But now, I'm a lot more confident and can lift much more thanks to the coaches. I would definitely recommend this gym to anyone.

I've been coming here for 4 months and the coaches have been super helpful! I started out barely able to lift 5 pound weights, but with their help and motivation I'm a lot more confident and can lift a lot more. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone!

Fantastic experience: I just signed up three days ago. First of all, I’m wildly in love with this gym. Before I signed up, I called the number posted on google and it’s the actual owners’ cell phone. His tone and delivery is straight to the point. I asked one question about rates and he not only answered it, but he covered sign up fee, prorate, discount codes, and the cancellation process. I actually read the terms and conditions on the sign up site and giggled at a few of the sections because it was clearly written by the owner himself but also written quite professionally. This gym owner takes serious pride in himself from what it seems, and I love that he comes across as someone who’s so confident in himself that he’ll be so real and cut to the chase without having to feel like he has to sell me into a membership. He knows what he has to offer and he’s firm on his standards. I think his price for access to TWO 24/7 gyms is also awesome. I’m so grateful for access to a gym that’s loaded with attachments, 24/7 access, and all the space I need to thrive.

Fantastic experience: First thing first…I absolutely love this gym. The people and the environment is exactly what I needed to get back into this lifestyle. I started with the 8 week Transformation Challenge they had, and since then I keep going. The trainers and Steve (owner) are real down the Earth people who will push you to be your best. Highly recommend!!!

Fantastic experience: The best gym. I’m super new to lifting and took classes to learn, and it’s been amazing. The open gym is sweet too because the other gym-goers are friendly and gave me a few tips. Really great environment to be in.

KING LUNIC 1 year ago

Jordan Elmore 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I was fortunate to find the Archetype gym right when I was looking to get back into shape. The 24/7 hours are fantastic and the staff are always willing to help out. I highly recommend this gym!

timothy coffey 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Steve is an outstanding proprietor and the gym is always well-maintained and equipped with the latest technology. The members are all very pleasant as well, so I am delighted that I decided to join.

lauren elizabeth murphy (lulu) 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience at this gym in the RTP area - it was always spotless and I felt secure no matter what time I visited. It was definitely one of the best places to work out.

Bryan Short 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Easily the best gym I’ve ever been to, and it’s not even close. I came to visit my brother in Cary and was a guest for a few days. The equipment was top tier and so was the gym environment. I would honestly consider moving to Cary just so this could be my home gym. Keep up the great work y’all!

Kaleigh Day 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great gym!! It's never crowded and always clean with so many different pieces of equiptment so you can get in a good workout without having to wait for someone to finish using something.

Rachel Earnhardt 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: No hesitation in joining this gym. It has a everything we need: good atmosphere, bumper plates, reverse hyper, ropes, bands, medicine balls, kettlebells, dumbbells, you name it. If you’re not seeing results you’re not doing the work. Period.

Kathryn Thomann 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: AMAZING gym for lifters of all kinds. From the wide array of specialty equipment for powerlifting, bodybuilding, olympic lifting, and general health and fitness to the obvious care it's owner Steve puts into it, this gym is an absolute gem! Many precautions are in place to help minimize the spread of germs, and there are never more than ten people in the gym at a time! This gym is a fitness nut's dream! I will 10/10 be back again!!

Ian Wisdom 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I've been going to Archetype Strength for almost a year now. Since January (it is now November) I've lost a total of 45lbs, severely reduced my body fat, and put on a bit of noticeable muscle. Archetype, for me, has been the best gym I've ever held a membership at - and I've tried more than a few over the years. A gym is a gym, right? And it only matters how much work YOU put in. While this is true - not all gyms are created equal, and the results you get will differ depending on what you have access to. That's one of the best things about Archetype, you have access to everything, 24/7. It's a private, very clean, and professional gym. As such - you don't wait in line for that one bro to FINALLY get off the rower/squat rack/bench. You don't have to struggle to find space to actually use free weights, and you have access to extra stuff I've never had at other gyms before such as multiple punching bags, sledgehammers and tractor tires, and weight sleds. On top of all of that, the owner, Steve, is easy to work with. A simple text will resolve 99% of the issues that can occur at the gym. A piece of equipment is out of order? It won't be the next time you go in if you let him know. Have a request for a small piece of equipment such as a particular bar for the cable machines, he'll likely order it if you just text him about it. You also get access to a private gym Facebook group, the option for personal training with a decently flexible schedule, and access to friendly challenges for reps within the gym via the blackboards. It's not $10 a month, and I'm glad - because the people that pay to go to Archetype are serious about making a change in their lives. I've fit into clothing sizes this year that I haven't in almost a decade. The work you put in at Archetype Strength, the results you'll see in yourself, and the other friendly people you'll meet there truly make this the best gym in Cary.

Cody Perkins 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great OPEN GYM. Just go in anytime, do your workout and leave. Owner is great, not many gyms can you text the owner directly. Any issues, send him a text. It will be resolved promptly. The facility is always clean and maintained. No broken equipment, missing weights, etc. Highly recommended for a great open gym experience.

Leslie Orellana 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have had such good experience with this place that I would recommend it to anyone looking for gym that not only serves its purpose with having the equipment needed but does so much more then that. I am able to go at the time that fits my schedule since they’re always open & communication is great everyone is respectful and most importantly I don’t feel judged. I feel good when I’m here and I love it!

Tanaua White 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: This is a great facility! After some miscommunication issues the owner (Steve) reached out to me and gave me a free week. Unfortunately, I was not able to utilize this free week because I am a RN currently taking care of COVID-19 patients. I did not want to put the members at risk by continuing to use the gym. They have plenty of equipment and the members do a good job at cleaning once they are finished using it. They also play great music while you are there. It definitely adds to the pump! I recommend this place if you are trying to get big and be apart of an awesome atmosphere.

Dan Moran 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Best gym in the area. Super awesome bunch of guys running the place. So glad i was able to find when others started closing. Very laissez-faire and lots of freedom to actually train. If your job depends on your athletic ability, the covid gym shutdown was potentially a career ender when other athletes elswhere were continuing to get better. Open 24 hours with great quality, predominantly Rogue, equipment and a great atmosphere of people of all experience levels. Feels (like a gym should) like a second home sometimes.

Stephen Glass 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Archetype is everything you want in a gym. It has a great environment and top of the line equipment. They have a ton of unique lifting equipment you won’t find at your average gym.

Luke Hayes 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Positive: Quality I love this gym! They have multiple options for all the equipment I need - squat racks, lifting platforms, sleds, rowers, kettlebells, dumbbells, sandbags, airbike, skierg - and it's all very high quality as well. Definitely recommended for anyone in the Cary area.

DJ Evans 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Man this gym will separate mice from men! Workouts are super challenging & the instructors are patient with the newcomers. Steve thanks for providing a “judgement free” gym where I’m comfortable being me. You & your staff rock! ARCHETYPE STRENGTH! BE THE STANDARD!

Rebecca Barton 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve started and stopped many gym memberships and have done the classes/personal trainers but none of that compares to this place! The attention to little things, the overly qualified coaches, and the no pressure/judgement from anyone keeps me coming back. The coaches take time to instruct to avoid injury and push you to become stronger. Questions are always welcomed and they work to accommodate everyone in the class. Steve (owner) takes great pride in his gym and all of his clients. He’s constantly available for encouragement, questions, and accountability! Joe and Travis (coaches) are welcoming, very knowledgeable, and make you feel comfortable enough to step out of your comfort zone to surprise yourself! I’ve just signed up for my second challenge and can’t wait to see the results! If you’re thinking of trying something new to increase your health but “normal” gyms or CrossFit aren’t for you (like me) then I highly recommend checking out Archetype Strength..you won’t be disappointed!

Daniela Jimenez 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Love this gym! The coaches are super helpful!! When I first started (4 months ago) I could barely lift 5 pound weights, but with the help and motivation the coaches provided I am a lot more confident, and I am able to lift a lot more. 10/10 would recommend!

Bud Miller 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have only been going to the gym for a month or so now and I have felt like family to the members and the trainers No one judges and everyone will push you to achieve the goals you set out to reach. The owner Steve will have your back and make sure you are able to reach your goals. Great trainers who are very educated in their field and have helped start to restrenghten my body and mindset. I recommend anyone to come and try it. I have had off days prior to arriving but how the trainers approach you will get you motivated.

Ruth Henriquez 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great gym, with awesome workouts. Don't feel discouraged if you see their social media & It looks like everyone knows what they're doing because that's not the case. Everyone goes at their own pace & does what they can. I am one of those :) If you are looking for someone to individually cheer you up, you might need a one on one coach. My favorite coaches are Nick & Joe they are very professional, no they don't hold your hand but you can't expect people to do so. However they always explain how to do the workouts & are willing to help. Justin is also an amazing trainer even thou I haven't trained much with him but he seems very passionate about what he does, always optimistic & willing to help you. It all starts with you, all you can do Is try! Overall the people I've referred seem pleased & so am I so far. I've been here for 3 months & only missed my class 2x in all those months. Love it! Ive met Awesome people!

Chris Seppala 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I started here about a month ago and cannot say enough good things about this gym! They have great classes focusing on strength and overall fitness. The trainers and the owner Steve are awesome. They really care about your overall health and success. Would highly recommend Archetype to anyone looking to get in great shape and improve their overall health and fitness

Joseph Goad 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: The team at Archetype Strength and Condition have done an amazing job, I have seen them transform an old stone cutting facility into a fantastic gym. The gym is equipped with top of the line premium weights, rowers, racks, bars, you name it. The workouts are challenging, every day I leave feeling accomplished knowing that I worked my ass off. I have been to other 'premium' gyms in Raleigh and have to say that Archetype takes the cake. I finally feel like I'm getting what I paid for: custom workouts and hands-on coaching with fitness professionals.

Jaleesa Louis 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to archetype since March of this year and had some personal issues that kept me from attending, but Steve definitely made me feel like family helping me get back in ASAP. I absolutely love coming to this gym. The people, the vibes, the workouts. Everything is great. I’d recommend anyone to join and get an amazing workout with awesome people. It’s definitely worth it. Going to a regular gym is nothing compared to going to a family felt personal training workout. Check them out!

Danni B 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Group fitness that feels like you have your own personal trainer! Great workouts! Easy to follow nutrition plans and they help you stay on track with everything! This place has it all!!

Nickki Vines 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I was looking for a new way to get myself back into shape and try something different. I saw the ad on Facebook for Archtype and decided I was going to try the 6-week challenge they were offering. I met with Steve Olson the owner and I was very nervous about trying this. But I did it and I have to say, I did the work but the program they offer saved my life. It wasn’t about the weight loss, it was about a lifestyle change. And the team at Archetype supports you 100% of the way. You can do this, no excuses!! So if you are looking to make a change in your life, I highly recommend you give them a try. You will not be disappointed!! I went through the 6-week challenge and I am healthier and happier than I have ever been!! They want you to succeed and they help and guide you all the way!!

Stephanie G 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Awesome place. I joined their 6 week challenge and during it I gained inches in my glutes and arms while losing inches in my waist. Their trainers motivate you to keep going when you think you can’t. Be very specific in your goals and they will help you reach them

Brooke Freeman 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I started training with Steve at Archetype end of February 2018. I was in a rut and looking for a program to get me back on track with diet and a training routine. My husband and I have years experience in the gym, training and changing diet to reach fitness goals, so we weren’t new to the scene, but that being said, Steve did not disappoint! It’s very obvious Steve has the experience and knowledge to help everyone of all fitness levels to reach their goals. Whether you are a beginner just starting out, never picked up a weight before, or you have been lifting for years, you will learn something new. I really liked that he helped focus on proper form when training. I have been squatting for years and turns out I was doing it all wrong! Another added benefit is the diet plans he puts together for each individual. I would recommend Steve and Archetype Strength to anyone looking to get motivated and get a great workout without having to put to much thought into it. You just show up with a willing attitude and get pushed to your limits! It’s great! I’m back on track and it feels great. Lastly, he offers childcare so it was convenient to workout in the evenings when I had my kiddos with me. They were close by and I was able to check on them throughout my workout, which is always a comfort. The gym overall seems to be very family orientated.

Crystal Clowes 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: This place will def help you get into a healthier lifestyle groove. The six week challenge is awesome. Learn how to eat better and get strong. The workouts are no joke. The trainers are awesome. I never lifted before and never felt more comfortable in a such a personal gym setting. Loveeeeee!!! Ps I’m going to have abs soon.

Dan M 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I had a hard time breaking out of my usual workout and diet habits whenever I would try to improve them by myself. So I decided to seek assistance through Steve at Archetype Strength. 6 weeks later I can say that it was one of the best decisions I have made for my fitness and overall health. Steve and the other trainers not only motivated me, but pushed me to do things that I never tried or thought of. They helped me with my form, movements, etc in all my lifts which in turn helped me progress much quicker and safer than I would have on my own. After seeing this progress and growth I couldn't help but sign up for more training and I am excited to see what the future holds with Archetype Strength!

Anshul Dantre 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Archetype Strength is arguably one of the most interesting gyms that I have ever been to. Unlike other gyms with lots of public exercise equipment, this one has challenging classes, great instructors and NO BS whatsoever. I wasn't sure if I'd like the layout of the gym at first, but I was pleasantly surprised to see that I was actually getting better workouts here than I previously was under the supervision from my instructor down at LA fitness in Houston (I moved to Cary Sep 17). All the coaches I worked with (Thad, Jim, John, Courtney) are very knowledgeable and off course the man Steve Olson himself. He is the owner and knows the business very well as he has done this for more than a decade now. I joined as a part of the 6 weeks challenge during Mid March 18 and since then there is no looking back. The challenge is over but the motivation I get keeps me going. Steve helped us with simple meal plans and rest of the instructors helped in getting our exercising basics right. The fee may seem higher at first but the consistent coaching and the diet plan are a plus and outweighs the overall cost. And results are your direct proof. What I like about the classes here is that they are all full-body workouts, and they really do kick your ass if you're willing to put in the work. Overall I will sum it as Great workout atmosphere (The gains, coaches and environment keeps you motivated) Excellent coaching (Every class every time) Simple and easy to follow diet plans (even for vegeterians like me :) Flexible schedule (No over crowding as you schedule your class in advance and its limited no of people at a time)

Tay Davis 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: This place was exactly what I needed. I finished the 6 week challenge losing 23 lbs total. I decided to keep going because I now enjoy how working out makes me feel. Steve is great and is also able to modify workouts on the fly for individuals who may have specific issues such as knee problems, back problems, etc...

Rochelle Frazier 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going here since March and it has been a great transformation!!! I’m loving the weight lost and the way my clothes fit. I would recommend this gym to anyone who wants to put in hard work to get good results fast !!!

Camille Walker 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: The gym is really effective, I did the 6 week challenge and lost inches everywhere, clothes fit so much better and the side benefit of being much stronger is not bad either. It builds stamina in a non-boring way. No lengthy runs or treadmill/elliptical workouts. You are constantly moving, the hour flies by after you've been there a couple of weeks. Between that and eliminating all the processed foods you'll feel great and look even better. For me, the weight training thing was a bit intimidating at first since my gym time usually meant cardio before this, but it's addicting! My favorite exercises became dead lifts and bench press. Who knew? So glad to have given this a try, I'm very happy with my results.

Carrie Wooldridge 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I trained with Archetype Strength during one of their six week challenges. And I loved every minute! Steve Olson, the owner, provided an easy to follow meal plan and weight training classes at the gym. Classes are scheduled daily Monday - Saturday, with morning, afternoon and evening options available. Steve and the Archetype trainers are knowledgeable and motivational! They are quick to modify workouts to accommodate an injury or limitation due to weakness or otherwise. The gym is clean and stocked with top of the line equipment from rowers, treadmills and bikes to weights, benches, racks and ropes. Every workout is different and I left each session feeling accomplished and stronger! Archetype Strength is the gym for anyone who wants personalized workouts, motivational and knowledgeable fitness professionals and RESULTS.

Rebecca Purvis 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I joined the 6 week challenge at the beginning of the year when the gym was just opened. The amount of support is amazing and the gym equipment continued to increase. Everyday was a different workout and I definitely can see results. I do encourage those that are doing the challenge to read all of the details to meet your goals successfully according to the contract. Either way, Steve does bargain a good deal to continue to be a member of the gym after the challenge.

Elisabeth Jean 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I let an accident encourage me to stop working out... then I met Steve Olson and went to his gym and he was just the positive spark I needed to be encouraged to pump myself up and not stop! I gained an amazing, positive and forward-thinking group of individuals with one main idea in common, we want a healthy lifestyle! I received a simple nutrition plan to follow and from sticking to it, working out at least three days a week and focusing on the why, I was able to lose 6 pounds of fat in 6 weeks and I feel strong everyday. I have decided to continue my membership through Steve’s classes and am so in love with the group setting. I really needed that gym family to help keep me focused and true to myself. If you want to make a change towards a healthy lifestyle, come on in and let’s get you measured up and build the lifting foundation so you have the best results! See you soon!! ️‍♀️

Julianna Rogers 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Archetype strength has been my home gym for about 4 weeks now! I am honestly so impressed with how much my body has changed. I’ve lost 10 pounds and have started toning very nicely! The trainers are fun and super helpful with all of the techniques. They will push you and motivate you! If you’re looking to change your body, Archetype Strength is EXACTLY where you need to be! There’s even an easy meal plan to follow to help you achieve your best results!

Anitha Reddy 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: This is an awesome place to lose weight and get fit . I tried many places to loose weight and was struggling with my weightloss. After finishing the six week challenge I have lost the weight I wanted to lose and could get fit . I will highly recommend this place for anyone who are looking for loosing weight and get in shape. I thank instructors Steve and James who helped me with my weight loss and they corrected me at each step during workouts when ever I was doing incorrectly and participated in my success.

Brittany Miles 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Completed the 6 week weight loss challenge and lost 15lbs! The classes are structured in a similar way every week/ day so you know what to anticipate and expect when signing up. They also just added another class focused on HIIT. The instructors help you to concentrate on your form and make sure you understand how to complete the exercise and get results. The workouts are consistent and concentrate a lot on bench, squat, and deadlift so you establish good form and can monitor your progress/ strength increase through the exercise. It helps to get the moves and the form down to have that repetition of moves. The instructors push you to increase your weight and get to know you as an individual and will help to adapt as needed. There are days focused on finding your max weight for the exercises stated above and the instructors work to support you with that. The environment is really focused on helping you get through the workout and push yourself to get stronger. They focus a lot on keeping you as a member after the challenge and have several social 'parties' they plan to interact with members on a more personal level. Overall I had a good experience, I lost the weight I set the goal for and got good instruction on form for a lot of exercises!

Cherie Outen 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I came to archetype strength and conditioning when Steve, the owner, I just opened in January. He was offering a 6 week challenge and this appealed to me because I was looking to challenge myself even further in my weight-loss Journey. What makes this place so great is that it is a No Excuses Gym. You are getting the best education on how to change your lifestyle and your lifting habits in the gym. You get the feel of having a personal trainer every week but in a smaller group setting. I love the sense of community and it's nice to go somewhere every week where people constantly see and remind you of the gains you're making. It is a wonderful place to call my home gym. Oh yeah and I kicked ass and took names in the challenge. I lost 24 pounds in 6 weeks. If you want to change your body and your lifestyle this is the place for you.

Brittany Keyser 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: This gym is the best! Great atmosphere with awesome trainers and people. Steve and the trainers push you in the best way possible and will be there to help you achieve any health goal.

If you are serious about changing your lifestyle, getting fit, or accomplishing any other health & fitness related goals, He is going to keep you motivated and hold you accountable to make sure you achieve them! I love this gym!
