O2 Fitness Durham - University Drive

Fantastic experience: Clean, new and lots of machines. Came on a day pass and it worked great for my lifting needs. Recommend if you’re in town and want an up to date and nice facility.

Fantastic experience: Everyone was really friendly felt comfortable and really enjoyed all the gym equipment!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been an O2 Member for years. Started at Brier Creek and have now gone to the Durham location. Equipment is contemporary and clean! I’d like to highlight Marcel, a PT who helped prep me for a half marathon PR with a recovery session and helping me maintain an athletic mindset going into my race. Thank you for excellent service, Marcel! Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this gym! I met with Edward and he gave me thorough tour and explanation of the membership benefits and also got me set up with a personal trainer that fit my schedule and needs. This is the best gym in the area and the price is so affordable!

Fantastic experience: This gym is awesome! I can't believe how squeaky clean it is. I literally ate my lunch off the floor today. No, I seriously did! I always appreciate the GM and their Front Desk team in how they greet me by name every time I come in. Even though its usually jokes like, "You ain't got to lie, Craig", I always enjoy their sense of humor and their high quality choice in ethnic based movies. I also appreciate their training staff led by the guy that looks like The Hulk, Ty! They are very approachable and always open to answer your questions or give you tips.

Fantastic experience: Truly loving this gym! Everyone is so helpful, welcoming with an upbeat attitude. Locker rooms are neat & clean, and the hydraulic massage beds are my FAVE! I’ve never had an issue using any of the equipment being unavailable because of an overcrowded gym. The Durham/Chapel Hill location is my go-to. I’ve tried many of the other locations in Raleigh where I live—however Chapel Hill is where I work so it’s super convenient too. Thanks 02!!

Fantastic experience: This gym is a great return on your “investment”. For the price, one can’t beat its amenities and location. The staff and personal trainers are knowledgeable and friendly. I highly recommend trying this place out! Masking is not enforced for members but the staff always wears it (I’m not sure if durham still has a mask requirement or not)

Fantastic experience: As a relative newcomer to the fitness scene, I am always a little nervous joining a new gym. However, the friendly staff and top-notch facilities have made it an easy and enjoyable transition. Special shout out to Edward for being super helpful and enthusiastic.

Fantastic experience: Location is great and the facility is amazing. I was given a tour by Kenneth. Excellent dude and extremely thorough with describing what the gym has to offer. Additionally, I had a personal training session with Jerrious Scott (highly recommend - great guy to be around) and it was fantastic. The exercises were well planned out and he was there to ensure I maintained proper form and kept me going throughout the sets. The session helped introduce me to new exercises that I can incorporate into my own routine and he gave me tips and tricks to safely perform them on my own time. It really helped me figure out how hard to push myself and where I need to improve.

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym! Anytime I’m in the area, this is where you will find me! (Also the views from the outdoor turf? ❤️)

Fantastic experience: O2 has a super welcoming staff and environment! The equipment is plentiful, easily accessible, and in great condition. The facility is awesome!

Fantastic experience: Judy, the front desk team member has represented O2 Fitness(Durham) extremely well. Her knowledge, professionalism, and customer service has exceed my expectations. I will be coming back because of her and the rest of the staff that I had the pleasure of speaking with.

Fantastic experience: As someone who has had bad gym experiences, O2 Fitness is amazing has set the bar for any future gym. Not only is the gym itself beautiful, clean and everyone in there is friendly, they don’t try to pressure you or push you into buying a membership. Even during the trial period they give you the same professionalism and support as a member. I had a free training session with Ty and he was beyond amazing. He made the workout enjoyable, supposed and pushed me at the same time. I highly recommend him to anyone.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been with O2 fitness for quite sometime, and I must say the University Hill addition in Durham, NC has exceeded my expectations! The equipment is top notch, the classes are incredible, with excellent instructors, and I never feel lost when using a new machine as the trainers and staff will happily assist with guiding you through the process. I never thought I would consider going to the gym a treat, but University Hill O2 is exactly that! I’ve been able to start achieving my goals in an environment that truly motivates me in continuing my journey!

Fantastic experience: very clean, always a spot to workout despite a ton of people using the facility. Lots of equipment everywhere, amazing resources. Very clean locker room and amenities.

Fantastic experience: Great gym! Employees are very nice and it’s well equipped! I definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a new gym!

Fantastic experience: Great experience, I come every day and they're always good people and good equipment. Caroline is a great asset to the location as well!

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym! The staff is nice and very welcoming! Many know me and make it a point to say hello whenever I am there. The outdoor rack is just a plus!

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym. Staff is extremely friendly and helpful. I highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Here for a week visiting family and I had the easiest time getting a guest pass. Facility was clean, staff was super nice and helpful and they have every machine you could need. Great experience at O2.

Fantastic experience: I've been a member of this O2 Fitness club for 15 months. I'd give O2 Fitness 6 stars if I could. The facilities are clean and well maintained and there is lots of natural light. The team is helpful and friendly. I have not taken classes, but I've worked with two trainers. Both trainers were knowledgeable and excellent teachers. I'm a happy member!

Fantastic experience: I got a 21 day trial pass to this gym and it definitely didn’t disappoint. The staff is very friendly, gym is super clean and the environment is very energetic. Had a personal training session and the fitness trainer is super knowledgeable. Everything O2 has to offer, it’s definitely worth the price!

Fantastic experience: I was a member of the o2 fitness club for right around six months, and I had a great experience. Clean, well-maintained, and the best equipment in the area. Shout out to Tiina’s awesome spin class on Mondays and for the easy cancelation process that Leseria provided. If I weren’t moving out-of-state, I would still be a member. Thanks, o2. It was a pleasure.

Fantastic experience: The staff at O2 UHill is so professional and welcoming! And the facility is so clean and well organized with lots of equipment! Best gym in town!

Fantastic experience: Just moved here from Chicago area. While I wish for more weights and machines to workout since it is busy, that tells you it is a good club because there are people who want to workout here. It is so clean. It has tons of spray bottles and paper towels, and members use them all the time. Staff at front desk is so friendly as they greet you coming in and leaving. Also, they recently replaced padding on different equipment.

Fantastic experience: This place is the best! I have a 1 year old and the child care is great! I definitely recommend this gym to mothers. The price is not bad either. They always have games at the front where you can get free stuff. Much better than Planet Fitness, especially if you are a mom.

Fantastic experience: Muhammad Mustafa, better known as “Coach Mo” is hands down the best trainer of all time. We’ve been working one-on-one for 4 months now and I have never been more confident in myself. My body fat is down 3%, my shoulders and back don’t hurt anymore and I feel confident in my form and my fitness routine. Mo has developed life and teaching skills well past his years. He grasps every step of the process to becoming a total powerhouse. He understands and has personally mastered the physical technique , nutritional science and mental fortitude necessary to create a body you’re proud of. If you choose to work with Mo, make sure you come to work! Good luck on your fitness journey.

Fantastic experience: Nice gym :) this is the best O2 in the area, equipment is new/well taken care of compared to the others in the area. Lots of machines and free weights as well as cardio equipment. Only down side is it gets a bit busy during 5-7pm but not too bad

Fantastic experience: Great set up, nice equipment with a lot of options, very clean and the staff is great. Caroline has been awesome with welcoming me into the gym and overall highly recommend checking out this spot.

Fantastic experience: Clean and friendly environment! Everything is in perfect order Monica is a great fitness coach. I highly recommend O2!!

Fantastic experience: Busy but well stocked and staffed gym. Clean and welcoming environment. Plenty of equipment and areas for all needs.

Fantastic experience: Great facility. Clean with good equipment. Never too busy either. My kids love it too. It’s really convenient that they have child care on site.

Fantastic experience: O2 fitness is such a great place to work out at. They have many different machines to use and all of them are well maintained. All the staff and trainers are very friendly and actually want to help you improve.

Fantastic experience: First appointment with Daniel for personal training. He has great athletics and team experience and is ready to launch into Duke PT school, coming from work at MIT and undergrad at Davidson. Cool, creative and passionate person! I feel optimistic about my training to start Monday! I have a history of serious genetic anomalies and physical injuries. He is not dissuaded because he has a lot of personal and team recovery experience!

Fantastic experience: I went in for my design session with Marcel today, after my initial visit I was definitely leaning towards O2, now after my session with him, I’m all the way sold. I haven’t worked out in many years, but he made me feel comfortable and at ease. The workout was very impactful and although it was hard for me, I definitely know that with added sessions I will reach my goal. Don’t think about it for too long, get up and do it.

Fantastic experience: Very very nice upscale gym. There was so many machines to workout on I didn’t know where to start. Katherine was nice and sweet at the front desk. Tylor was awesome very awesome personality. She is super knowledgeable about fitness. I’m sign up for personal training sessions for myself and my son. Wow what an awesome experience here!!!!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic. David helped me out the second I walked in the doors and made me feel right at home. I showed up expecting a top of the line fitness center according to reviews I read, and boy that’s exactly what I got. Can’t wait to come back and start free my training and PT sessions! Dont hesitate, O2 Durham is where it’s at.

Fantastic experience: Before joining O2 Fitness, I thought a lot about whether I’d really take full advantage of the membership and whether the environment was right for me. Now that I’ve been a member for a couple months, I am so glad I joined! All the classes they offer have been incredibly fun and a great workout. The instructors are so knowledgeable and friendly, definitely check them out! I’ve only done a couple personal training sessions, but I have to say that Ty is absolutely fantastic. Not only can he give you a strenuous, great workout but he is hilarious and can make you smile during it! Lastly, the people who work there are great. David is incredibly welcoming and willing to answer any questions! Overall, O2 Fitness is definitely 5 stars!

Fantastic experience: Been coming for a few days and I have to say that the gym is awesome with all of the cool equipment and I have to add that Jordan has a wonderful personality and great hospitality ; it has made the experience so much better. Updating after coming for a couple of months because of the amazing staff that I’m getting to know more that make my gym just ; more specifically Kathryn. Very nice and so helpful and just clutch. Gym has been a blessing. Updating after 6 months coming and I want to tell people that they need one the best trainers at this location in your corner and his name is Lawrence. He’s been there since I started and all the advice and motivation he gives is sincere.

Fantastic experience: I got to train with Jordan M. for about 3 months before moving recently, while also going to one of the physiotherapists at O2 (Jenna S.) and it was the best experience I’ve had with a trainer. Getting to work with both of them was such a joy and they challenged me every week on continuing and maintaining my fitness journey. Jordan was great at pushing me to try new exercises and every one of our sessions flew by. She understands managing and working through previous injuries in a sustainable way, and I’ve never felt or been stronger. Jordan is a fantastic trainer and brings the best attitude and energy to all of her sessions. Couldn’t recommend her enough, and getting to work with both her and Jenna sped along my progress since I was able to focus on strengthening with Jordan, and recovery and pain management with Jenna. The two of them are a wonderful team and if you’re dealing with any lingering injuries or imbalances, I highly recommend them both.

Fantastic experience: Such a great gym. One of the reasons I extended my stay in NC from 2 weeks to 3 months. No joke. The squat racks at this location cannot be beat from any of the other locations. They have every type of machine you’d want in a gym. Staff here is super friendly. And they keep the gym immaculate. I see the staff trainers and front desk consistently doing a walk around to make sure everything is clean and in order. Joe at the front is THE man. I will definitely be back.

Fantastic experience: As someone who is completely new to working out and the gym this place has set the bar for any future gyms. Not only is the gym itself beautiful, clean and everyone in there is friendly, they don’t try to pressure you or push you into buying a Membership. Within the trial period I have I had a free session with one of their trainers Gabe and he was beyond helpful. He made a whole workout routine based around my bad knee and back. He’s a really good trainer and a good person. I’d recommend him to anyone

Fantastic experience: I have always been a fan of O2 Fitness! I enjoy the friendly environment and the staff is always friendly and helpful. I’ve finally decided to start my fitness journey and thought it would be best to do so with a trainer. Marcel, the trainer I will be working with is amazing! I’ve only had one meet & greet/training session with him and I’m sold! So much so, that I signed up and purchased his training package the very next day. He got right to it! He was attentive, interested in what my goals were, was extremely knowledgeable and informative, and put me right to work! I would highly recommend him!!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member for 6 months and love it. Everybody at the front desk is so nice especially Lizzy and Jordan! For sure do the 2 free personal training sessions- I did mine with Jordan B. when I was super out of shape and he was so encouraging and non judgmental. Then I started doing weekly personal training with Lawrence and he is the best! I look forward to that hour every week!

Fantastic experience: I recently joined 02 fitness at University Hill. Jordan was a huge help setting up my membership and helping me sign up for personal training. My personal trainer Marcel has been a great help and helping me improve all my weak areas into my strengths. He’s been the best personal trainer I have ever had, and I had personal trainers from CrossFit, Equinox, and Planet Fitness, and he has been the best. Marcel makes sure I perform all the movements correctly and safely. All the staff have been so friendly.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality The front desk staff is very friendly, helpful, and available. The personal trainers are knowledgeable and awesome for gearing exercises specifically for my needs as a recreational athlete. O2 fitness offers me a variety of group classes and equipment so I can tackle any challenge I need for my own strength and conditioning.

Fantastic experience: If you train in the mornings, you're likely to be greeted by Aneka. She is highly professional, helpful, caring (of others and the gym conditions), honest, responsible, and she has a calm demeanor (you can feel her positive energy). She gave me a tour of the gym and assisted me in obtaining a membership for both my daughter and I. Pricing is reasonable for two ($98) per month (1 year contract) as the gym has tons to offer, virtually and on-site! I’m also given access to several other (7 total) local gyms. The interior? Remarkable! The facility has ample space, is spotless, well-equipped, furnished (comfortable couches in the restrooms and main lobby), and the walls are neatly designed with complementary colors and motivating quotes. The gym offers an abundance of modern exercise machines for both cardio and resistance training, aerobics rooms, turf areas (inside and out), a variety of weigh-sets and kettlebells, monkey bars, rogue foam ploy boxes, yoga mats, foam rollers, resistance bands (all sizes), designated stretching area, weighted/medicine balls, 4-digit combination (convenient) lockers integrated with USB ports- which are located inside and out of the large-sized (luxurious) restrooms, a sauna, a steam room, free-wifi, hydromassage chairs, weekly studio classes, personal training and also child care! They provide their members with shampoo and conditioner (and towels during a regular season). There are also tv screens throughout the gym- truly entertaining! MTV’s ridiculousness! I haven’t had much trouble exploiting equipment due to availability. It doesn’t generally become crowded in the early mornings (5-9 am). I’ve also attended the gym during the weekends during opening hours, and again, no trouble employing equipment. This gym is highly diversified. You’ll meet friendly individuals of various backgrounds/nationalities, ages and experience (no judgement). Everyone must have a mask on the moment they enter the gym. Furthermore, after barcoding in, members are required to take with them a spray bottle (sanitizer) and wipe down used equipment. The staff is truly dedicated to ensuring all members in the facility follow the set-rules; they regularly do face-mask checks (as in, they walk around the gym every few minutes ensuing members’ faces are properly covered). I did have a bad experience with Muhammad Mustafa (who goes by Moe, I was told). He’s a trainer. I would describe him as inconsiderate, impatient, self-centered and unappreciative. There was an incident in which I was training my 13 year old daughter. I initially began having Naty perform Bulgarian split squats on a bench press due to a lack of availability of a more appropriate bench. However, Moe (followed by his client) rudely interrupted us both towards the end of her session. “Can I get you to move? You can use a foam box for this purpose.” I replied, “She’s almost done. She has one last set. [Can you wait a sec.]?” However, Moe insisted on getting us to move that instant. “Oh, sure!” (Sarcastically, then directed his attention to Naty) “That’s right! Go low! Keep an up-right posture during each rep! There you go…” He took the role of trainer, interfering with our bonding activity. He made us both feel uncomfortable and made her feel pressured to complete her remaining set! I was surprise at this man’s lack of consideration and was simultaneously disgusted. His client later apologized on Moe’s behalf. “I’m so sorry he interrupted your session. I didn’t know he was going to do that…” From that moment forward until I left the gym, Moe stuck out like a sore thumb amongst the other trainers. I noticed how he carelessly tossed around weights and barbells so that they landed in front of his clients. Is it that he lacks the tranquility that enables a person to transfer items with more etiquette? I don’t recommend this trainer. I’ve had brief interactions with Margaret (she motivates Robin every morning), Malik (who took the time to find me a suitable resistance band) and Cayla (who kindly retrieved for me a weigh ball). I recommend them! :-)

Fantastic experience: I recently joined 02 fitness at University Hill. Katherine was a huge help setting up my membership. She was welcoming and gave me a tour. All the staff have been so friendly. Jordan Lovell always greets me with a smile and helps me with all my questions since I am new. I really enjoy the yoga classes with Lauren and Vanessa. I can’t wait to try the other classes. Lauren not only teaches yoga but I did my complimentary personal training session with her and she made me feels so comfortable. I got a great workout and she gave me guidance on how to maintain a healthy lifestyle. I highly recommend her services.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful amenities, great human beings! Katherine, the manager, is wonderful! Warm and friendly and very thorough. I've also worked with Amanda, one of the personal trainers, and my experience was excellent. She goes beyond technique and offers sound knowledge and sincere encouragement. She is also so attentive and really tries to understand your fitness goals within the context of your general well-being.

Fantastic experience: I love working out here. The O2 staff is exceptional and the space is well kept. Most importantly, my personal trainer, Jordon B., has listened to my health goals and helped me create a workout regimen that’s challenging yet sustainable. I highly recommend O2 Fitness. ___________________________________________________ Follow-up some 9 months later. I’ve still been impressed by the level of cleanliness, friendliness, and overall support this location has provided. The staff are welcoming and delightful to see each day. After finishing my PT sessions I feel as though Jordon B. He has set me up with sustainable workout routines that meet both my fitness level and overall goals. He has also provided me with ample feedback and guidance on how to sustain the overall processes that will ultimately help me achieve my desired goals. I highly recommend O2 Fitness - University Hill and Jordon B. if your looking for a personal trainer.

Positive experience: Overall I enjoy the gym. It is clean, modern and people are friendly. Where I cannot give it 5 stars is the fitness classes. I joined the gym for the sole purpose of participating in fitness classes. I need that extra motivation of group support and an instructor telling me not to quit. I’ve been a little disappointed with the selection of classes but I’ve found enough of the ones I’m interested in to go ahead with a paid-in-full membership. Today was very disappointing as I came to a Ride class and waited with the rest of the class until we realized the instructor wasn’t coming. The staff didn’t have much to say. They shrugged and said sorry. I pay good money to attend these classes. It is so unprofessional for an instructor to no-call, no-show. I hope this aspect of their facility improves as they continue to grow. Update: the general manager of this location reached out to me and apologized for the problem, letting me know they did not tolerate that behavior from their instructors either. We talked for a while about how important it is for the members to have reliable instructors and what it takes to be motivated to come to the gym. I appreciate the follow up and I look forward to what the group fitness schedule will look like as further hiring occurs.

Fantastic experience: Having a newly relocated to the area, I was looking for a gym close by, but also with multiple branches in The Triangle. O2 Fitness was perfect! They had specials in May for new members as well as a 21-day trial. I have been enjoying being a new member and even took advantage of the two free personal training sessions. It was easy to schedule. Lots of communication from O2 Fitness staff. Clean, spacious facility with brand new equipment.

Fantastic experience: I recently joined O2 fitness with my family and have been really impressed with the level of care they have for their clients. The facility is well taken care of as they maintain a safe environment through proper sanitation and social distancing. They have classes that offers a little bit of something for everyone. A bonus is the fact that they have daycare. I don't have to miss out in working out because of a lack of daycare.
