Fuel Fitness: Opinions

Fantastic experience: Outstanding facility. They have every conceivable weight machine. The place is clean and that includes the sauna and steam room. The staff is friendly, and the trainers are excellent. I needed to strengthen my knee and my trainer gave me six exercises, of which I was to do three at a time. When I went to my physical therapist appointment she simply said to do what he recommended. I have silver sneakers and can go anywhere for free, but nothing beats Fuel Fitness.
Fantastic experience: Went in for a tour and got free passes. Ben and Katie greeted me and were very knowledgeable and took time to answer all my questions. This gym has equipment that is spaced out in different rooms so you don't feel stuck in one area. Lots of natural light, especially for treadmill work. Separate area with long pull-up bar for TRX/crossfit/circuit stuff. Many foam rollers, medicine balls, bands and extras. TVs everywhere. Locker rooms smelled nice! Saturday afternoon and the gym was not crowded. Plenty of parking. One of the best gym experiences I have had.
Fantastic experience: This gym is incredible. Reasonable prices, great hours and a fantastic location. I never have any problems with any of the equipment and it's usually very easy to access. The crowd is usually manageable, and I never have to wait to use any of the equipment. The trainers are great and the personal training sessions are affordable and extremely helpful. I just recently changed over to this gym and couldn't be happier with my choice.
Fantastic experience: For once a gym that has dumbells that go past 75lbs. A diverse selection of machines and free weights. Great staff and very convenient.
Fantastic experience: Love this gym! I joined a few months ago and wish I had joined earlier. I have two small children, so it has been hard for me to find the time to work out. But after hearing about their excellent child care room, I decided to give it a try. I am so pleased! My kids and I love it! The ladies in the child care room are awesome with the kids and take such great care of them. I am able to get a good work out in while my kids get to have fun while getting some energy out. A win-win for everyone! I have been training with Ben Kirchner for a few weeks now and am so excited about the results! It wasn't until doing some personal training sessions with Ben that I was able to meet my weight loss goals. He also leads a great kettle bells class on Tuesday and Thursday morning. It is an awesome workout! So thankful for finding Fitness World!
Fantastic experience: I have been a member at Fitness World for about 7 months now and I think it is a great gym. I have to say that although the gym is great with all kinds of classes and well working equipment, I made the BEST choice when I decided to sign up for a personal trainer. They had a special for 12 personal training sessions and I thank GOODNESS I was partnered with Melissa Westcott she had me doing things I never thought I would be able to do. She wanted to know me and why I wanted personal training, not just my problem areas but what made these areas important to me and what changes I wanted for myself. Before my 12 sessions were up I bought 12 more sessions totaling 12 weeks of personal training so what did I get for my money you ask? I walked in the door 170 lbs, a fat % of 37%, wearing a size 12 (squeezing) at the end of my sessions I am now 163 lbs (yes only 7 lbs down in 12 weeks) but my fat % is now at 28% (so that means that a lot of that fat was turned into muscle) and now I am wearing a size 8. I am saying all this because yes the gym is great but the people working at the gym make it AWESOME.
Fantastic experience: I joined Fitness World 2 months ago and I thoroughly enjoy going to this gym. I enjoy the gym even more since they extended and added more treadmills and weight machines. The staff is friendly and the gym is clean, even the locker rooms are clean. I like that they give you a lock for a locker and hold your keys so you don't have to worry about leaving them at a machine. I wished I would have joined this gym earlier. But now I'm a member and I plan to stay at this gym for a long time.
Fantastic experience: Fitness World is a great gym and the staff is great! The Women's locker room has just been renovated and it's gorgeous. There are lots of great classes to choose from and the personal trainers are wonderful!
Fantastic experience: The fitness area is large, clean, and quiet. This is not your typical meat-head gym as there are all sorts of people who use the facility. It is a comfortable environment to work out in. They offer unique classes that you won't find at most health clubs in the Triangle.
Fantastic experience: Fitness World is a friendly and welcoming place for everyone from super-athletes to those just getting back into self-care. The classes are challenging for a variety of fitness levels and fellow members are always happy to help new participants get set up and feel comfortable. The indoor cycling program is very strong with a variety of instructors and styles and an amazing camaraderie. The personal trainers are educated professionals who can help move you to the next level. My favorite part, though, is that this is no meat-market. People are friendly, kind and warm no matter what shape you are in - there seems to be a sense from the community that we're all in this for our healthier happier selves.
Fantastic experience: This gym was not for me - but the customer service was amazing. I, like most people, didn't cancel my contract in writing, and instead of calling like an adult sent a desperate email to Fitness World. Stormy not only answered but canceled my membership even though I took a month to respond - and after a payment SNAFU she credited my account. I've had to go to extremes to get gyms to stop charging me, and it was refreshing to have a gym go above and beyond for me :)
Fantastic experience: Hands-down the best gym I have ever been a part of. The facilities are extraordinary with something for everyone and plenty to keep me busy. The staff is friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. I love working out at Fitness World.
Fantastic experience: love this gym the people are great and the staff if great
Fantastic experience: I love Fitness World!! This gym offers so many different group classes to choose from which are super challenging as well as fun! They have a wide variety of weight equipment to use and it is always very clean and well managed. The instructors are all very friendly and professional --- in fact, I had the great opportunity of working with one of the personal trainers, Melissa, for several weeks and she was so knowledgeable, supportive, and really motivated me to make several healthy lifestyle changes that I will be able to use for a lifetime! This gym is definitely worth the time and money to be a member! Thank you, Fitness World!
Fantastic experience: I've been a member of a few gyms in my time and never have I been more happy with the following - value for money - cleanliness - equipment selection - equipment availability - class selection - friendliness of staff. This really is an awesome gym and I would recommend it to anyone considering joining a gym in the area
Fantastic experience: We were Fitness World members for seven years. It's a great gym that only got better as it expanded and added more equipment. I typically worked out in the early morning hours. I came to recognize many familiar, friendly faces. It was a very positive atmosphere that made it enjoyable to go to the gym even when you were getting up early to do so. That positivity starts at the front desk where they've consistently had kind, helpful staff working. I have no complaints about Fitness World. The Kids Room is a tremendous benefit for parents who need to find time for a workout. I hope I can find another gym like it after moving away from Durham.
Fantastic experience: LeAnna and Ms. Brenda are awesome! Ive been a member of this gym for over six years now. LeAnna has done a great job as the new manager.
Fantastic experience: They have a fantastic staff. They are very personable and approachable.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member for years and love working out here. The staff is friendly and encouraging. The gym is clean and the variety of equipment is great. I love the smoothies too!
Fantastic experience: Working out here is awesome! The staff is awesome! The equipment is awesome and clean! The basketball court is awesome too! Fuel Fitness is awesome!
Fantastic experience: Equipment is well maintained and it's very rarely crowded so you get to use the equipment without any waiting. Also have good classes.
Fantastic experience: A huge THANK YOU to Kami at Fuel Fitness near Southpoint! After a few weeks of searching for the perfect gym, I was finally able to find it because of her! Her customer-first focus, commitment and dedication to helping, and solid knowledge of the facility is what separates her from the rest. Anyone out there wanting great customer service, a high level of professionalism, and a great facility with all of your exercise needs, look no further. Thanks again Kami!
Fantastic experience: Kelsey's classes have improved my strength and mobility.she is a very knowledgeable, and experienced with seniors, and is an excellent trainer and awesome friend. The gym has a family feel and the trainers help to reshape our old bones and muscles.
Fantastic experience: I joined this gym a little over a year ago and have had a great experience the entire time. The space is clean and well cared for, other members are respectful, and the employees are super friendly and helpful. The trainers are all super knowledgeable and happy to answer random fitness questions, and there's a really good variety of equipment that's accomodating to a range of abilities and workout goals. The transition to Fuel Fitness has been seemless and I'm excited to see their plans for the future come to fruition. Staff is always great about communication re: holidays, weather events, etc.. The manager even came in the snow and ice the other day to keep the gym open- Thanks LeAnna!
Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Just joined this gym.Love everything about it! Smoothies are great Especially when Maria makes them!
Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism It has been over a year since I have been in a gym. I was a little hesitant to go back in but I feel totally safe. Staff is constantly cleaning and mask wearing is a requirement! Would definitely recommend it to my friends....smoothies are amazing too
Fantastic experience: Love this place and will be heading back after covid restrictions have eased. Great staff always willing to help. Really miss my aerobics classes and pickleball.
Fantastic experience: Fabulous gym, lots of fresh equipment there's a lot of great diversity many extraordinary local athletes come here on a regular
Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member here since 2002 and I can’t find other gyms in the area that has all that Fitness World has to offer — great equipments, family friendly from the youngest to the oldest, but most of all, caring staff members to always help you out.
Fantastic experience: When COVID hit, the gym I was going to suspended operations, which means I had nowhere to work out with weights. I grew tired of running and bodyweight workouts, so I looked online for a good gym near me and found Fitness World. They have just what I need and their pricing is affordable. Would highly recommend this gym.
Positive experience: I would be giving this gym a 5-star rating--they are clean, affordable, and well-stocked--but unfortunately, they are not enforcing the recent mask policy at all. I have been to the gym a few times since the mask mandate was reinstated, and there have been many people blatantly not wearing a mask. Employees have walked past unmasked people and not said a word. This is very disappointing and speaks volumes about their regards for health and the pandemic. Update on 9/20/21: The masking situation has improved immensely at the gym. There are still a few people who take their masks off, but they are few and far between and overall it is good. There are signs that have been put up around the facility and staff seems to be more aware. I am updating the rating to 4 stars to reflect this change.
Positive experience: Your mask is required now ????. Clean, quiet at 11am, in and out.
Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism , Quality The gym was great, sanitation was always regarded and employees were great in person and friendly. Membership discounts for people that work locally with certain businesses, and they even have a phone app. If I still lived in the area I would still be here
Fantastic experience: I've been coming for the last three months and I like the environment. For the Christmas Season they have a Mocha Peppermint protein shake that tastes amazing. I primarily take the Zumba and Hip Hop classes and they burn a lot of calories and fun. Definitely reccomend this gym.
Fantastic experience: What a fantastic gym! Plenty of equipment so it's rare you're waiting for a particular station or machine; all of it impeccably maintained. The entire staff is super friendly and will help with any questions you have. When we joined, the manager toured my girlfriend and I around which made us feel immediately at home. The group classes are varied for any skill level and they keep workouts interesting. Whether you're starting out, getting back into shape, or already know your workout routine, this place is for you.
Fantastic experience: My family loves this gym and we have been going for three years. The childcare is great and our kids really enjoy it. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I had a wonderful conversation with one of the managers, Robin, who was very helpful in helping me to find the right classes that work for me. There are a variety of classes offered and the teachers are great. Also keep an eye out for the new inside look. Very cool and trendy interior design.
Fantastic experience: I enjoy the group exercise, zumba is my favorite.
Fantastic experience: This gym is so awesome. I came in very nervous about the gym environment and have been welcomed with open arms. I love my trainer and all of the staff is super nice. They make the best of the space that they have. The gym can be very busy at times but that’s just proof of how much people love this place
Fantastic experience: Great locally-owned business. I always enjoy my workouts there.
Fantastic experience: Great gym, never too crowded, staff is friendly and helpful
Fantastic experience: I've been a member at Fitness world for a few years and have been very happy with the gym and the trainers. Management has a focus on constantly improving the facility - for example the locker rooms have been updated and the spin room is stocked with new bikes. They also have a fantastic AMP fitness program, which offers members a high intensity way to get (and stay) in shape. This is a great local gym!
Fantastic experience: As gyms go, this has got everything you need! I've never been disappointed.
Fantastic experience: Great gym, clean, great equipment and friendly staff
Fantastic experience: Wow awesome experience.. Good staff n active trainers. You will be motivated to do more.
Fantastic experience: Fitness World has awesome facilities, staff, and a variety of equipment. I've been a member for almost three years now and am sad to leave as this has been one of the best civilian gym homes I've found. Would highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: A great Gym! With Great customer service.
Fantastic experience: Ample selection of cardio machines. Plenty of free weights and equipment so typically not a wait, though I usually go during off-peak times. Staff is friendly and gym goers do a good job of cleaning of equipment they use and re-racking their weights. Locker rooms are nice and clean. Not much more to ask than that.
Fantastic experience: Great gym. I have been with FW for 5 years.
Fantastic experience: clean, staff is super friendly, accomodating go try a free pass to Zumba or dance fitness and you will love it!
Fantastic experience: Not a member (YET) but the young lady behind the counter was so nice an helpful this morning. She's a lifesaver! Thank you again!
Fantastic experience: Fitness World is a great place to workout. Through the years I've used many of the chains (Golds, Fitness Connection, etc.). Fitness World is more personal, offers a wide variety of classes and seminars on, for example, good nutrition. There is always something going on and activities in the community. I used to get stuck in ruts, relying on the same exercises and routines I was used to. At Fitness World, I have plenty of opportunities to mix it up with a wide range of group classes.
Fantastic experience: Love this place! Staff are very friendly. Good equipment choices!!! I really do think they need to expand the place as it gets crowded now. Good business eh!
Fantastic experience: This gym has done a great job of keeping me healthy and the staff is friendly.
