O2 Fitness Wilmington - Independence Blvd

Fantastic experience: I am a female in my sixty’s and wanted to brag about my trainer. I’ve been working with Shane for almost a year and he has been the best trainer I’ve ever worked with. He is very knowledgeable. If I have trouble doing an exercise one way he always has other exercises that I can do that achieve the same goal. I have several problem areas that I need to be careful of and he is very understanding and patient with me, but also pushes me to do things that I didn’t think I could do. The club also has a very nice environment and all the staff are very friendly.

Negative experience: All my African Americans a warning this place is very racist n prejudice dont know why a Pale skin color makes these ppl feel superior to other need some serious Prayer for these kind of folks. Def will stick to a 24hour gym now on, slavery has ended you weirdos

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend O2 Fitness enough. I went a few years without taking care of myself and had a wakeup call with the doctor. I decided that I needed personal training to become familiar with the equipment and the best exercises for my body. I was partnered with Shane Valentine. He has been absolutely incredible. I now really look forward to working out. It is exciting and fun. In just a month lost a bit of weight, my blood pressure is improving and my cholesterol is going down. While I am no where near a body builder, I am treated like the most important person in the gym. I could not be more proud of what I have accomplished with the encouragement of my personal trainer. It is worth it.

Fantastic experience: O2 Fitness is the best place for working out. I have enjoyed it since my first day. Every employee there is professional and kind and that makes feel at ease as I am usually an introvert. The staff and other members give me positive vibes. I would like to say a special thanks to Joe Kent whom seems to be ever present there and always welcomes me with a handshake and a smile, Y’all are great!

Fantastic experience: This place is incredible! I really didn’t enjoy “working out” until I found O2! It is more fun and the staff makes it feel like family! Especially Mr. Joe Kent I am an early riser and like to go in early. He is always there with a great big Welcome to start my day. He offers the customer service and happiness that make people feel comfortable and puts a smile on my face! His hard work and dedication shines through. And kudos to all the other staff there as well! If i could give it a 10 star ⭐️ rating I definitely would! I have also recommended this location to many of my friends. Keep up the great work!

Negative experience: Will charge you an annual fee without telling you. Then, will not tell you that you have to pay for an entire year regardless if you want to or not, and when you try to cancel cause you’re a disabled veteran, they won’t and keep charging you

As soon as I walked through the door, Joe greeted me and made sure to do his best with explaining the signup process. Joe made this process very easy and quick so I could go ahead and start my workout. Thank you Joe for your professionalism and positivity. You’re awesome!

You will not regret committing to what is meant to make you stronger ! ✨

Fantastic experience: Love O2 Fitness on Independence. The staff are friendly, the equipment is modern and there is enough equipment to go around, even at peak periods. The gym is open, luminous and inviting. Couldn't recommend this place more highly

Fantastic experience: Just signing up. Olivia was AWESOME finalizing the details. Fantastic experience. Thx! A week later...I have attended 2 classes. 1 I stayed for, a yoga class, 1, I stayed about 7ish minutes, a Pilates. Neither of these I feel, were senior oriented. I was the most elderly person there (70)yo. I don't feel ill get much benefit w classes not geared to older folks. Am I looking at wrong classes? I'm looking for ones I'm able to attend due to my work schedule.

Fantastic experience: Great gym and Staff , Olivia at the front desk is so wonderful!

Fantastic experience: Great gym with excellent equipment. This review is specifically in favor of instructor Tim Mills. Took Zumba with him and while all the Zumba classes are fun, Tim’s class was amazing! He breaks down the steps so you can follow the choreography easily. He incorporates both low/high impact moves and shows modifications for all levels. Other instructors tend to just dance and let you follow along. This works, but Tim’s method makes it easier to get into the groove right away. The hour flew by and at the end I was drenched with sweat but hadn’t even noticed I had been working hard. That’s how awesome Tim Mills’ class was. If you see him on the schedule, don’t miss your chance to dance with Tim!

Fantastic experience: Cycle class with Jose was fantastic! Great energy, music and instruction. Hope to see him teaching more classes!

Fantastic experience: 10/10 gym. Got a sick workout in with a great pump. The atmosphere is very welcoming and so is the staff. Will most definitely return.

Fantastic experience: New to Wilmington, viewed, and toured a number of gyms in the area. By far the nicest gym is O2, Joe was very helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. This will be the gym, thanks Joe.

Fantastic experience: When someone says always put your best foot forward we all understand that to mean to give your very best. Well that’s what O2 Fitness has done when they placed Joe at the front desk. As the first person I see when I come into O2 (bright & early) to workout; Joe is always smiling, upbeat and personable. He truly makes an effort to remember details about the guests. He manages to make even the meet & greet at the front desk seem special. He is one of the many things I love about this gym. The facility is updated, clean, tons of equipment and all the members are friendly. It’s a great experience coming here.

Fantastic experience: Joe is the best. Knows everyone by name and is the first face you see every morning. Always has everything ready to go when he opens up

Fantastic experience: Olivia was a rockstar and clearly stated all the benefits of O2 and all its amenities.

Fantastic experience: Olivia has a great smile and a wonderful personality. Every company should be represented by someone with the same characteristics. The gym is always clean and orderly. Claudia is one of the finest physical therapists I’ve ever had.

Fantastic experience: We looooveeee puppy yoga ❤️❤️❤️ everyone should try! It’s pure joy

Fantastic experience: O2 is such a great gym with amazing staff. Olivia at the front desk is always extremely helpful and friendly!!

Fantastic experience: Tony is an amazing Spin instructor. I have taken spin in multiple states and he is up there with the California instructors. Lol, Time flies in his class. I feel like I am at a party and he's the Host !

Fantastic experience: Love the atmosphere and vibe! It makes you WANT to go to the gym! ;)

Fantastic experience: Can't say enough about Joe and the rest of the staff here at O2! Great atmosphere and facilities

Fantastic experience: OMG!! Amazing facility with wonderful, encouraging and uplifting classes. I have had so much fun dancing for my fitness! And the staff is awesome. Olivia patiently helped me wade through my insurance hiccups and get my membership going. She is so positive and supportive. Love the atmosphere and support!

Fantastic experience: I really like this gym! The staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful, especially Joe at the front desk. Also a nice environment, people are smiling and chatting. Never have to wait too long to use anything.

Fantastic experience: I walked in for the first time today to enroll, and was greeted at the desk by Olivia, who made me feel like I’d been a member for years. She was so friendly, helpful, and engaging the whole time. All while providing the same experience for four other first-timers at the desk wanting to enroll, as well as all the gym patrons checking in with her throughout. Olivia’s patience, multitasking, and cheerfulness were amazing, and she made every interaction so positive.

Positive experience: Great facility with plenty of fitness options. Great staff. But you need towels in the locker room. Expecting members to bring their own towels is bush league. Your competition provides towels. You're better than this, 02 Fitness.

Fantastic experience: Joes awesome. Gym is always open on time and ready for the morning crew

Fantastic experience: Really great facility, plenty of weights and equipment and they do a great job at keeping it clean. Joe at the front desk is nice and always greets everyone on their way in. Would recommend O2 to anyone in the market for a new gym.

Fantastic experience: I always enjoy seeing Joe help out at the front! Always makes my time at O2 a great one.

Fantastic experience: When I go to O2, I’m always excited to see Joe at the front desk welcoming everyone. He is such a nice guy, and incredibly helpful.

Fantastic experience: I come to O2 whenever i’m in town. I workout early and i always appreciate Joe and his helpful attitude. Even at 5am he has my back! Thanks Joe and the O2 team!!

Fantastic experience: Joe is always very friendly in the mornings. Always greeting me with a smile and kind words.

Fantastic experience: Joe is great.. always opens on time and knows everyone’s name.

Positive experience: Since Joe has been employed there has been no issue with opening on time, prior to Joe you never knew when the doors would open. Always very personal and will greet you by your first name.

Fantastic experience: Joe is the sweetest and always brightens up my mornings at the gym!

Fantastic experience: Today, I stopped in at the 02Fitness on Independence in Wilmington,North Carolina to get my membership through my insurance. The two women at the desk where you first walk in were very courteous and respectful to me. They helped me sign up to meet with a personal trainer. A nutrition specialist. They answered all of my questions with a smile and wished me a late happy birthday because my birthday was on Monday Labor Day. The gym and equipment were very nice and clean. And I noticed after someone uses the equipment they are courteous enough to wipe it down clean with sanitizer so the next person could use it. The whole place is very grade A to me. I love it. I’m going to do my first work out tomorrow after I get up. I’m actually very excited to be going to such a state of the art gym. The equipment is up to date. You can connect your IPhone to the equipment and listen to music or listen to the instructor on the screen if that makes you feel more comfortable. So if you are ready to get in shape now with the best equipment available. Go to a 02 Fitness gym. I almost guarantee you’ll like it better than the gym your at now. Everything is included in the gym nothings off limits because you didn’t sign up for a gold or platinum membership. Like at Planet fitness! Don’t wait until the new year to make this a New Year’s resolution to get into shape. Do it now. I guarantee you this. You won’t regret it! Stephen Williams, 02 Fitness independence Wilmington,North Carolina !

Fantastic experience: A huge shout out to Beth at the front desk! When I've needed help with a machine, on more than one occasion, she hasn't hesitated to help and best of all she does it with a cheerful attitude! You're the best! Thank you!

Fantastic experience: My mom and I get a week membership to O2 fitness every summer when we go to Carolina Beach for vacation. We both love it! The variety of classes, excellent instructors, friendly staff and patrons. We’re so happy we found this gym. We’ll see ya next year!

Fantastic experience: Eugene is hands down the best personal trainer at this gym. His extensive experience and keen attention to detail ensured that I always felt confident and well-guided. He has an incredible ability to tailor each workout to meet my specific needs and goals, making every session both challenging and rewarding. Eugene’s motivational style and unwavering support pushed me to give my absolute best every time. I can’t recommend him highly enough for anyone looking to achieve their fitness goals.

Fantastic experience: If anyone is looking for an outstanding trainer I highly recommend Eugene Shimono. His attention to detail and his ability to motivate is top notch. If you are looking to take your training to the next level Eugene is the solution.

Fantastic experience: Friendly and welcoming atmosphere. With Joe at the front desk it was a great way to start the morning!

Fantastic experience: I’m glad this contest is happening Joe is hands down the best employee I’ve ever seen in the gym business. He goes out of his way to make every member feel comfortable. His attitude is always on point, never late, works extra shifts, and takes time to learn every members name. Truly Joe is an impressive man and an incredible employee.

Fantastic experience: Joe is the man!! He’s so helpful and kind. We love seeing his face every morning we workout. Thanks, Joe!

Fantastic experience: Joe is the BEST! He always offers a friendly greeting, and smile as soon as you approach the desk. Just want you need early in morning, to start your day!

Fantastic experience: Chisel with Amy at independence is my favorite class! Always an incredible workout, fun music, and beautiful energy!

Fantastic experience: The 5 stars are for the employees of O2Fitness Hanover, in particular Joe. Ever since Joe has been the early morning “counter man”, the gym is consistently open and opened on time. Prior to Joe, the only thing the gym had going for it was being consistantly inconsistant. You always knew the gym would open, you just never knew when. Joe, thank you for doing what you do and getting the gym open in the morning.

Fantastic experience: The O2 on Independence is a lovely gym. Cleanliness and a friendly atmosphere were most important when I was selecting from among the many gym options and O2 at Independence hit the mark- it is the cleanest gym thanks to Carol’s dedication, Jeffrey and others. As far as friendliness and a motivating environment, Joe at the front desk is delightful. Joe was very helpful in setting up my free trial (21 days which is a great amount of time to see if this place was a good fit for me) and answering my many questions. He set me up with personal trainer & coordinator, Shane, who assessed my goals and matched me with a personal trainer (again, a free service). Shane clearly read my input online about what I hoped to work toward and came to the meeting prepared and with enthusiasm. He matched me with Julia and I couldn’t be happier. After the free session with Julia, I purchased a package of personal training visits. I had intended only to use the 2 free sessions and the trial at the gym to get me moving again (I needed a little push) and then return to my usual workout routines at parks and home but found that I very much looked forward to working with Julia. Julia is attentive, compassionate, enthusiastic, and pushes me to my limits with gentle persuasion and a smile. When I need a modification, Julia is always quick to notice and offer an adjustment to the weight or activity or movement and she focuses on correct alignment which is incredibly helpful. Joe helped me secure a great rate for the membership and he cheerfully greets me every morning. If you’re looking for a gym and atmosphere & cleanliness are important to you, check out O2 on Independence!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been working with Julia for the past few months and I feel much stronger and confident! She challenges you to push yourself harder while also making everything accommodating to your specific ability and needs! Julia is the best!

Fantastic experience: I have been working out at O2 Fitness since February with the help of Julia as my personal trainer. It has been a long time since I've been in a gym and she did a great job of motivating me and making me feel comfortable lifting weights. I have knee issues and she knew exactly what to do to strengthen that area without over doing it. I now have a workout routine that I enjoy and am getting stronger every day!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member at O2 for almost two years now, and it’s by far the best gym to be apart of. I go in the early mornings, and Joe is the first person I see every day. He’s the sweetest human being you’ll ever meet — he makes that gym what it is. He’s always happy to see you, will address you by name, and will always make sure you know he cares about you. If it weren’t for Joe, the place would fall apart, no doubt about it! Outside of Joe, the community of members at O2 are wonderful, as well as the physiotherapy and personal training staff. I truly can’t say enough great things!

Fantastic experience: Joe at the front desk is extremely pleasant and makes my whole experience at the gym a great one. He's the best.

Fantastic experience: By far the cleanest and accommodating gym I’ve been to. Joe has been great, always opens the gym on time and has the sauna hot by the time I’ve finished my workout. I will be signing up at the end of my 21 day trial.

Fantastic experience: Tonya the Tuesday 11:35 am Silver Sneakers instructor. She is a great instructor who pushes us to try but gives us options of other ways to be easier or more difficult.

Fantastic experience: Shane V as a personal trainer will truly push you past what you think your limit is. I’ve seen myself get the gAAAAAins with him. He is respectful, kind, understanding, and sooo knowledgeable in many aspects. He listens, understands, and gives you a workout that fits YOU! He helped me gain confidence on machines I usually would never consider.

Fantastic experience: I’ve recently started my fitness journey! I was in need of guidance and accountability to start working on myself. I was able to find exactly what I needed in my training with Eugene S!! I cannot recommend Eugene enough! Starting my journey with him has been exactly the motivation I need and I can already see results more than I think I would ever attempting by myself . I now actually enjoy showing up to the gym and each work out is always rewarding. He is absolutely incredible!!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member of O2 fitness for over six years and have had five trainers throughout that time. Eugene has been absolutely the best trainer I’ve ever had. Eugene listens, modifies the exercises, extremely knowledgeable, professional and lastly but not least he has a sense of humor. The staff overall are very friendly and they appreciate chocolate chip cookies. The facility is well equipped, well maintained and the cleanliness of the facility is top notch. My standards are very high and I would recommend O2 fitness to anyone looking to join a gym or get in shape!

Fantastic experience: I very much enjoy going to O2! They have great instructors who teach a variety of different and challenging classes. Mary, Amy and Tanya are my frequent go-to instructors for classes (Body Step, Body Combat, and Ride) and they are all awesome!!

Fantastic experience: Specific to Eugene S. Very welcoming, friendly, professional. Does a good job of challenging work out to better you. Eugene is specific about using the correct technique to advance your goals. Fun to work with.

Fantastic experience: Eugene is the best trainer I’ve worked with. He’s helped me achieve my goals and has been kind and helpful the entire time.

Fantastic experience: Super knowledgeable staff, and very friendly, which makes it easy to get started on the right path. Personal Trainers are great as well! I had Julia as my trainer for a little over 2 months and she was fabulous. I learned a lot from her and she kept me motivated the whole time. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member of O2 Fitness at Independence Blvd for 6 years. The gym equipment is adequate, the community is encouraging and most of all the people who work there such as Joe Kent, make it easy to get up early in the morning day in and day out. They treat you with respect and radiate positivity that overflows into the rest of your day. I’d highly recommend this gym to anyone looking to become the best version of themselves!

Fantastic experience: In Hanover Center heart, at O2's gym so bright, There's a receptionist named Joe, a sheer delight. With a grin that shines, he welcomes all with glee, Making every visit feel like a jubilee. In Joe's realm, efficiency takes a little spin, But his warmth and charm? They always win. With tales of pets and jokes that never fail, He turns mundane check-ins into a merry tale. In Hanover Center gym, he's a shining star, Bringing joy and laughter, near and far.

Fantastic experience: Love O2 Fitness! Joe at the front desk is always so kind and helpful every morning, and is there to answer any questions I may have. Great community.

Fantastic experience: Ryan is a phenomenal trainer and the absolute best in Wilmington! He is incredibly knowledgable, motivating, empathetic and really fun to work with. Not only have I lost a lot of weight working with him so far, but I also feel much stronger with more energy to get through my busy days. I cannot recommend him enough! The O2 facility is also great to workout in. Go see Ryan and let him help you reach your health goals!

Fantastic experience: When I first started coming to O2 in August of 2023, I had just moved to Wilmington and didn’t know anyone. Joe Kent was the first face I saw and he was immediately so kind and welcoming. I started getting less and less anxious and more and more excited to come to the gym everyday because I knew Joe would be there. I am so thankful for him and our friendship!!! I love this gym so much and all my morning friends!!

Fantastic experience: This is by far the best gym that I have been to. Compared to other gyms, the pricing is excellent and the fact that you get access to unlimited classes is my favorite part. My absolute favorite class is the dance cardio class, it's so fun and burns a ton of calories, I just wish there were more classes of it. Also, all of the instructors for the classes I have taken have been nothing short of amazing! Thank you O2 Fitness for being an affordable, fun and clean gym!

Fantastic experience: Unfortunately, this review is a bit late and that’s on me. I have been attending O2 Fitness Hanover for about a year now. And a highlight of this club each week is the Friday morning Spin class. This class is lead by Mitch. After attending only one class with Mitch, I knew that his class was a DO NOT MISS. The work and prep Mitch puts into this class each week is quite apparent. Song selection is vital. Mitch’s thoughtful playlist spot-on nails the ride experience. Mitch’s passion for the ride, and the group, is remarkable. His influence, and relational style, is exceptional. As a group, we work harder, and we want to get stronger. Mitch’s passion is infectious. The drive last Friday to O2 was almost an hour. The traffic bottleneck and delays due to the bridge closure was frustrating. I wondered in the congestion if the drive is worth it? Driving home after another (even better) Spin class with Mitch, it dawned on me. Mitch’s class is worth the hassles of time and traffic. It’s that good, Thank you, Mitch.

Fantastic experience: Tonya is a great Silver Strong instructor. She varies her routine and always challenges us to do our best!

Fantastic experience: Great gym with amazing instructors! I love Lindsay’s barre, Elizabeth for HIIT, Amy for Chisel and Haley for cycle!

Fantastic experience: Tonya is wonderful and motivates me to keep.going and totally make a difference in my health. You should be as blessed as I am to have her as my instructor. Thank you Tonya

Fantastic experience: Moved to Wilmington last summer and I am so glad I joined here. Got a great annual payment option and have since referred three people. Such friendly staff, always clean, never too crowded, updated equipment, and convenient location.

Fantastic experience: This review is in thanks for Ryan's Silver Sneaker's class on Thursday, at 11:30. I continue to benefit from his classes. In fact, because he keeps the program varied, the time passes quickly.

Fantastic experience: I joined a month ago and got a trainer from the gym. Shane has been incredibly supportive and a wealth of knowledge for all things fitness related. Within two weeks i was already feeling drastic improvements. The whole staff in very encouraging and the atmosphere is clean and professional.

Fantastic experience: Gabrielle is an excellent Zumba instructor! She is engaging and energetic and you can tell she is there to make sure the participants have fun. Highly recommend her class.

Fantastic experience: Love Tonya 's Tuesday 11:30 Silver and Fit classes. She's full of energy and is a great instructor.

Fantastic experience: O2 Fitness is the best gym in town. The Kids Club staff is a dedicated & knowledgeable team! A true family space where everyone is welcome & leaves happy. Cody & Meron are two of their star staff members .

Fantastic experience: The gym is super nice and the equipment is always clean and working well. The staff makes it awesome, Dylan was great at walking us through everything we needed to know.

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Wilmington BY FAR! Front desk staff is always welcoming and the trainers are very comforting and easy to work with. Highly suggest this gym!
