Prime Athletic Training & Fitness Institute: Opinions

Fantastic experience: I worked out with them for about three weeks and it was amazing I had to stop due to personal reasons but I am definitely going back ASAP. Great trainers, great environment and they make it fun and entertaining to where you will be begging for more. Great people
Fantastic experience: Prime has changed my life for the better. Honestly I’m not sure where I would be without it. The workouts are intense but provide the shape that I am going for. The atmosphere is electric and always pushes you to do more .
Fantastic experience: The best gym in the area! I love the atmosphere and energy. Training classes are great.
Fantastic experience: Best gym experience ever. I started Prime Athletic Training and Fitness Institute by joining the Prime 45 Challenge. I’d seen some amazing results previously. The only goal I set for myself in the beginning was to be able to say “I am free from taking blood pressure medication”. I just wanted to get back to a healthy place. I didn’t have a specific weight in mind or look I just wanted to feel better. I’ve done plenty of challenges before however this challenge was different this atmosphere was different. It exceeded ALL of my expectations. Desmond is a life coach not just a personal trainer. He goes above and beyond to provide the resources and tools needed so that you can be successful on your life journey not just weight loss. This challenge brought out so many different factors. I learned about nutrition and the full benefits of eating right, how to workout properly, being accountable for my health (physical,mental, spiritual and emotional). This challenge CHALLENGED everything. You won’t find that at other gyms. It was unbelievable for me at the end of 45 days that I had accomplished way more than I ever imagined. I lost approx 25lbs. I said good bye to those awful blood pressure pills. I was eating better, sleeping better, had more energy, becoming stronger and had a drive for the gym. It started off as something I needed to do and has become something I want to do. Prime is not your average gym it’s not just a group of people that’s in a building working out. It’s a family that holds one another accountable while having fun doing it. There are no strangers and Desmond is not your average trainer. He’s invested in your health and wellness. PRIME is PRIDE. The group fitness training classes are phenomenal and forces you how to dig deep. If you are on a journey to better yourself and take back control of your health. I can’t stress enough this is the place to be to help you take back charge of yourself and become a better version of you!!! #Prime #PrimeBuilt #Prime45 #Prime90 #PrimeAssault #ClubPrime
Fantastic experience: Great place to achieve your life goals. I have been a member for approximately 10 months and I have had some major improvements with my body and mind. If you are serious about making changes in your life holistically coming to prime is the best choice. In the past I have worked with other trainers but desmond truly cares about your development and wants to see your body change more than you. If you live in RDU this brother is by far the best trainer period. He will definitely hold you accountable and push but you will also have fun while doing so.
Fantastic experience: Prime is a great gym. The group training is amazing! You'll walk into great music and a great atmosphere each time.
Fantastic experience: A great elite environment where my athletes enjoy soccer services and promotion! Great customer service as well by all the staff! Continue great work!
Fantastic experience: Great gym and great atmosphere. Would recommend everyone to come this gym.
Fantastic experience: Whether you’re looking for a gym or a family, Prime is the place to be. Des knows every member by name and really pushes the values that the gym stands for— family, commitment, faith, and competition. Blessed to have found the gym and proud to be a member.
Fantastic experience: I love this gym and the atmosphere. Always good music to get you ready to work and the family atmosphere is dope.
Fantastic experience: Couldn’t ask for a better gym. Hands down the best in Durham for a great price. There’s more than enough equipment, a great atmosphere, and everyone that comes in the gym is there to work and get better. Dez is a great owner and greets everyone when they walk in the gym and leave. Alana is an excellent trainer. Definitely recommend Prime, for those who may be searching for a gym home.
Fantastic experience: Prime is the dynamic fitness experience I've been missing and sets itself apart from other gyms with its approach to fitness that emphasizes group collaboration, motivation, and commitment. Desmond's training and knowledge brings out each person's inner strength and helps you reach YOUR personal goals. You WILL be surprised what you accomplish with each workout. The music makes the atmosphere fun and engaging and the relationships you build keep you coming back. Please check out Prime for yourself if you're looking to elevate your health journey and transform physically, mentally, and holistically.
Fantastic experience: When I first started at Prime with Des, my only goal was to lose weight. Little did I know he was going to push me to limits that I didn’t even know I had in myself. In less than a year, I’ve accomplished so much not only physically but mentally as well. The results are great and I couldn’t have got to this point without his training!
Fantastic experience: My experience with Prime has been amazing! The gym gives off a supportive family vibe. I love that I’m being challenged and pushed to give my all. I enjoy the encouragement from other members and Des. I’ve gone to many gyms and trained with many trainers, but Prime has been the best so far. I recommend this gym to any and everyone.
Fantastic experience: I have been a member of PRIME for the past 5 months. I started with a fitness challenge and very soon after signed up for group personal training. What impressed me the most was Coach D. Scott’s value in ensuring clients understand the rationale behind the various exercises we do, cycling of exercises, and proper form. PRIME is more than showing up, logging in, and checking ‘exercise’ off of the day’s to-do list. Becoming a member of PRIME has transitioned to a way of being. I highly recommend PRIME’s services to those near & afar.
Fantastic experience: Desmond is a fantastic trainer that really pushes you to your limits. He understand the body so well and can help you out of your comfort zone. He will help you become the best version of yourself inside and out. Highly recommend you check him out as well as the gym if you are looking for a good family and great place to workout!!!
Fantastic experience: Being a truck driver traveling the country it’s always refreshing to find a gym to accommodate parking and have quality equipment and even better people to train with and around! Plus you don’t need headphones because the music always on point! I’ll definitely be back to visit!
Fantastic experience: PRIME Fitness is the real deal. If you are in Durham and are looking for a fitness training facility that emphasizes family, fun, hard work and elite performance coaching you need to check out PRIME. I've had the opportunity to work with several members, trainers and the owner Desmond. Always a great experience with good people. As for the gym, its clean, organized and spacious. PRIME is legit.
Fantastic experience: Clean facility with well maintained equipment. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. Would highly recommend this gym.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely LOVE Prime! The best gym in Durham and surrounding area! Great trainers and staff! You will get an awesome experience and a great workout!
Fantastic experience: I went to Prime Fitness On the recommendation of John...much to my surprise it was better than some of the local area gyms. John provided me with a complete tour of the facility and invited me to work out with one of the trainers. They also have full line of supplements and tasty protein drinks that you can purchase. I will definitely be going back to Prime....one of Durham’s hidden jewels!
Fantastic experience: Prime is hands down the best gym I’ve ever been to! From the time I walk through the door, I’m greeted with friendly faces and warm smiles. Everyone from the staff to the members, motivates me to not only meet my goals but push beyond what I even thought I could do! While every workout I’ve had at Prime has been amazing, my favorite thing about the facility is not the workouts. It's actually the family atmosphere. Even as a new member, I felt like I was working out with people that I had known forever and that I had support through each step of my fitness journey. The trainers aren’t just interested in your physical health but your mental health as well. I couldn’t ask for better service from a gym.
Fantastic experience: I was a member using the general equipment (no classes) for a couple of months. My experience was a good one. The staff was friendly, the equipment was good, and everyone was respectful over all. The only small thing to point out is that it can get crowded in the evening but the few times I dropped by from 12-5 it was pretty empty.
Fantastic experience: I appreciate the warm and loving atmosphere when walking into the gym! The staff of the gym greets you personally and that makes the time there more comfortable. From training with Jon, #clubprime with Desmond, #primeelite with Jess and Janay and Spiit with Cynthia, it’s only the beginning of my journey and I love it!
Fantastic experience: I was looking for a modernized gym with a more people of color, a younger crowd, challenging but fun group classes, and affordable prices. On top of the great atmosphere, the owner and trainers make you feel like family!
Fantastic experience: This gym is the best!! There is no gym like this one! My prime family is just that, a family! I feel super welcomed walking in and amazingly exhausted when walking out! Desmond is the owner and one of the trainers and he personally talks to everyone at the gym, making sure they are getting the most out of their experience there. You won’t regret being a part of the prime family!!
Fantastic experience: I love that no two training sessions are ever the same...that really challenges my body & shows the creativity and dedication that the trainers have! The Prime family is THE BEST gym family you could have...everyone is so encouraging at #thecitiesgym
Fantastic experience: I am so sad that I no longer live in Durham so I can’t go to this gym anymore. Desmond and his team are great and will push you to be the best that you can be!
Fantastic experience: The atmosphere in this gym makes you want to work hard! The staff is awesome, friendly and knowledgeable. Everyone here seems to motivate each other , no matter what fitness level you’re on, there’s a place here for it.
Fantastic experience: I've been training at Prime since January, and its hands down some of the best personal training you'll get in the RDU area. The trainers and staff really care about all of their clients, and are committed to helping you attain your fitness goals. Totally worth it!
Fantastic experience: This GYM is amazing! The staff are all fitness experts. This place is very motivational for any age or fitness level.
Fantastic experience: This by far is the best gym I’ve attended since last yr....the staff makes you feel so much like family....the atmosphere and the great energy in the gym makes you wanna come back every time.....I would recommend this gym to anyone...thanks prime for the great workouts and making me feel as family
Fantastic experience: Awesome gym! Great atmosphere! Very friendly and encouraging staff. I really enjoy club prime. Helped me get back on track with exercising and to actually enjoy it. I highly recommend this gym!
Fantastic experience: The people at Prime treated me like family since the moment I walked in the door. The energy in the gym is like nothing I’ve ever experienced before. Desmond has done an amazing job establishing a culture that truely manifests it’s core principles of faith, family, and fitness. I love Prime, and I’ll be a member here for life. Stop in for a visit!! The life trainers and members will welcome you with open arms. :)
Fantastic experience: This place is lit. Enough said...really though, I love this place. The classes look fun and the workout equipment is always available, which is uncommon in places with this price range. If it weren’t so far from me, I’d get a plan and visit more often.
Fantastic experience: I’ve had memberships at other gyms but this is by far the best! I love the results and I recommend Prime to anyone wanting to see an overall difference in their body.
Fantastic experience: Desmond is the best! PRIME by far is the best gym in the RTP. Such a family oriented environment. Makes me really wanna workout!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been to Prime on several occasions. It is a great atomposphere. Clean facility, the staff is so energetic and willing to help! I would definitely recommend Prime to anyone looking for a gym or to reach their personal fitness goals.
Fantastic experience: My first time attending Prime was on #ClubPrime Night on Wednesday nights. Club Prime had no less that 100 people everyone worked out , felt comfortable and most of all motivated each other to push it through the workout . The best gym in the city !!
Fantastic experience: Was apart of Prime before it was where it is now and the energy and vision from CEO Desmond Scott has always been positive and is now coming to full form. I was a former athlete (football) and Desomond help build the foundation of my game and establish an unmatched work ethic.
Fantastic experience: Best gym ever!! The atmosphere and people are incredible. I’ve been to many gyms in the area but none compare to Prime. Desmond and the trainers push us to reach our max. In my short time at Prime, I’ve seen physical and mental results. Glad to finally find a gym home!!
Fantastic experience: Hands down the best gym in the area. Owner is a beast... Not only did I gained I learned the art of working out. My eating habits and what body part to work on day in and day out. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been training at Prime since 2015 and I’m not sure if there are enough words to express how wonderful my experience has been. I’ve seen results—not only in my physical physique, but my mental and emotional stability has approved. Desmond challenges us on all levels to ensure that we can be at our greatest potential by offering an array of services—group training services, workout classes, spin class and weight lost challenges. I will continue to refer Prime to individuals who are serious about being motivated, honest advice/feedback and to take their physical ability to the next level. #TeamPrime
Fantastic experience: PRIME is amazing! Not only are the trainers flexible, great at their craft, and hardworking but the members are also great. The facility is everything that I look for in a gym. Des and Jon are great trainers, ClubPrime is energizing. You need to go!
Fantastic experience: PRIME is the best gym I’ve been apart of! The level of training is exceptional and is tailored to the individuals needs and desires. The thing I really love about PRIME is the family atmosphere and the accountability.
Fantastic experience: Just started going to prime gym about 2 months ago, thanks my friend and general Manager Rashard recommending it. I love the fact that it’s such an open gym, and it never feels too busy. All of the trainers are so amazing and dedicated to making you look and feel good. Best decision of my life and the boys are fine too by the way
Fantastic experience: Prime istitute is the best gym in Durham. Great instructors who live what they teach. The Wednesday night Club Prime is the energetic with a live DJ in class!!!
Fantastic experience: I tried many gyms before finding PRIME and I’ll never have to look for another one again. The trainers are top notch and they push you to become your best self. All members are like family and we support each other 100% of the time. The Triangles best gym!
Fantastic experience: It’s easy to see why Prime is the best gym in Durham. Everyday is like being with your family. You won’t meet a group of people who pushes you harder! #PrimeBuilt is a lifestyle
