Raise The Bar Gym & Fitness

Positive experience: Decent gym! Has just about everything you need/want (unless it's a stairmaster hehe) Passes offered: Daily, 3 day, 5 day, full week ( daily $15, 3 day is $35; 1 week is $50). Love that you can get a fob for 24 hour access. Has one Olympic lifting rack, leg press, bench, multiple dumbbells, small studio with more dumbbells, yoga mats, foam rollers and bands. Multiple lifting machines for all muscle groups! Would def go again while visiting family. There is very kind black lab dog in the gym most days, so if you're allergic to dogs, keep that in mind.

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Whenever I travel, I worry whether I will be able to find a free-weight gym to maintain my exquisite physique. Not here, in Avon.

Fantastic experience: **Get beachy swole, get hot tan, get into a new YOU!** Raise The Bar is your local gym for a quick workout, or long-hours training. There’s something here for the traveling fitness expert and the newbie who wants to fit into the new bathing suit. No judgement, we are in this fight of fat together! Open round-the-clock, you’d expect a smelly mess walking in — believe me, I’ve seen such elsewhere, bad! — however owner Jen takes pride in her small business. She is constantly cleaning corner to corner: the machines plates bars barbells cardio… all spotless. Bottles & wipes also readily available for use by those who perspire heavily. [Uh, is that me dripping in the mirror???] — “Proper gym etiquette expected, gym bro!! ” Day, multi-day, weekly/monthly passes available. Plenty of parking. Cash or Credit Card. (Nota Bene: If planning to come outside regular business hours, best to call first.) #FindYourSwoleMates

Fantastic experience: Unexpectedly nice and well-equipped gym with friendly staff. We went several times during our vacation. One suggestion: buy an extra rope attachment for the cable machine. I was unable to use the machine several times because there was only one rope that was in use.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym, bought a 3 day pass and it had every thing I needed while I was on vacation, will definitely be coming back, Jen was very helpful and kind Definitely recommend

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend. I’ve been at Raise The Bar Gym and Fitness for four weeks, 5 days a week. The gym is clean, well maintained and there is enough equipment for anyone. I’ve only had to wait for the equipment once or twice and have visited all days and various times (peak and non-peak). Most of the time you can move from one thing to the next without pausing. Plenty of plates and the dumbbells go to 100. There is a room for classes that is mostly free It has dumbbells and some mats and other equipment. Nice for those who want to stretch and have privacy/separation from the main gym area. Signing up was very easy and there aren’t any contracts or billing processes. It’s all straightforward. The owner is very nice and regulars are too.

Positive experience: Well equipped and clean My expectations were not high as an older review said that Raise the Bar has very little cardio equipment. However they have two treadmills, two ellipticals, a bike and a rowing machine. Overall, if you need to lift or cannot get your cardio outdoors, this place is perfect. Clean, well maintained and reasonable.

Fantastic experience: Perfect for our trip! Affordable, great equipment, exactly what we needed! Would absolutely come back next time we are in town!

Fantastic experience: Perfect gym for vacation workouts. They offer daily, weekly, 3 day passes and the normal memberships too. Prices are good and it wasn't crowded.

Fantastic experience: Great place really enjoyed it.

Fantastic experience: Got a week pass while vacationing in Avon. Great gym and was able to get all the pumps while on vacation.

Fantastic experience: Nice little gym

Fantastic experience: Great place to get a workout in. If your on vacation and want to keep you gainz goin give them a shout. 24 hour access is a huge plus for me.

Positive experience: Great place to go during your visit to the Outer Banks, they have everything that you will need to have a good workout. Crowd levels can get very dicey. When it gets crowded, you can say goodbye to doing anything remotely productive.

Positive experience: Nice place went by to check it out simple gym got all the machines a little dated but nice for Avon, North Carolina

Fantastic experience: Mark and I were at the Outer Banks for a week and needed a place to workout. Raise The Bar was the perfect place and fairly priced for our brief stay. It had everything we needed equipment-wise and was very clean and well maintained. Jenn and Kleat (the beautiful and friendly dog) had us signed up and ready to go in minutes. Thanks Raise The Bar!

Fantastic experience: This Gym is amazing! Great staff. Has a lot of equipment and weights.

Fantastic experience: I visited the outer banks for vacation for a week an they allow days passes. The staff that I spoke with was very helpful an got everything set up for me. The gym had everything you need to maintain your physique while on vacation I never met the staff an it was clean an neat everytime I came in there even with being 24/7 gym.

Fantastic experience: Great small weightlifting gym so you dont have to stop your routine while on vacation to the OBX. Owner answered all questions and I was able to do my routine without any adjustment to it. Offers day-passes and three-day passes for reasonable rates if you're out here for just a few days. Has a good squat rack and you can do deadlifts here. Has bumper plates in 45s and 25s. Has a hex bar.

Fantastic experience: Signed up this morning. The staff was great and got me signed up right away. Clean, has enough equipment to get a good workout. Like most gym heads like myself, everyone had good etiquette and is friendly. Will keep coming back. I come to obx avon alot.

Fantastic experience: They have a trap bar which was awesome for deadlifts, lots of other gyms go to while traveling don't have this and just have like 50 cardio machines. This place only has 2 treadmills and an elliptical, so if you're a cardio person, this might not be the place for you. But, if you need resistance training with a bench, trap bar, free weights, all kinds of machines - this is the spot for you. It has an old-style feel to it when you walk in, but is clean and the owners/workers are very easy going and friendly. Not an intimidating place at all. Most people stay for 1 week, and they have a very fair price for that. You go in and sign up the 1st time, and from there you get a key fob that let's you access the gym at any time of day. So if you go through your day, eat too much seafood, feel guilty about it later and want to go for a 3am workout - you can do that. Awesome place, I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Salvo.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommended. Had a great experience here this week. Has a decent selection of free weights and machines. Apparently people take their frustrations out on the water cooler because a sign was up today saying "water no longer provided because someone broke the machine again" otherwise a great experience! We will be back!

Positive experience: Nice well equipped facility, easy temporary membership process, friendly owner. The bathrooms were out of service for one of the days we were there and no water. I would recommend.

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym open 24/7

Fantastic experience: 24 hour Gym, plenty of space with several rooms. Extensive inventory of Equipment.

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym open 24/7

Fantastic experience: Great place, and people. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Great place, in the past it’s been difficult to workout while vacationing on the outer banks. It’s easy and convenient. I used to have to go to planet which was not ideal. Fairly priced with that old time gym feel im accustomed to from working out back in the old days. I can’t say enough how how happy I am that this establishment is available. The high point of my trip is to get up early before anyone else and get on down there. We usually stay in the Rodanthe or Salvo area. Right near the food loin to boot, pick up any necessary supplies and head back. Thanks to the owners for the valuable service they offer.

Fantastic experience: I’m an amateur bodybuilder and was so happy to find this place! They have 24 hour access so you can go before or after the beach. They also had the cheapest prices on the island! Seth is a great guy and depending on when you go you will most likely have the place to yourself or with 1 or 2 others. Best gym on the island in my opinion!

Fantastic experience: This is exactly what I was looking for while on vacation. This is a great gym with a great motivational atmosphere. Seth is super friendly and you can tell he's very passionate. I will definitely be back soon.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful to have a gym open on Hatteras Island! The owner, Seth, is friendly, accommodating, and happy to answer any questions or concerns. The equipment is well maintained and plentiful. Being able to work out at any time of the day or night, via a key fob, is a huge plus. I will be seeing a lot of Raise the Bar, starting today!

Fantastic experience: Best place on the island to work up a sweat

Fantastic experience: I'm not a resident but I frequent Avon and am so glad to have this! The owner was very personable and helpful. Very clean and well equipped space!

Fantastic experience: It’s so awesome to have a place like this in Avon. The friendly staff, clean atmosphere and well equipped gym make for the perfect spot in a great location. Being able to purchase a week pass to use 24/7 was amazing to fit into my schedule to where I was able to go my entire vacation. These guys have been super accommodating to new members I saw come and go throughout my time and I can’t wait to go back next time I’m around!

Fantastic experience: The best place ever! Everything is clean and staff is super friendly.

The staff is very friendly, the gym is clean, and there’s a enough equipment in there for everyone! Great gym!
