Bull City Crossfit in Durham, NC is ready to help you reach your health and fitness goals! We help people elevate their lives!

CrossFit is for everyone.  It helps world-class athletes get better at their sport and it helps grandparents keep up with their grandkids. It can help everyone in between find fresh strength and energy in their daily lives. We all need to do constantly varied functional movement at an intensity level that challenges us to live our best lives. We all cheer each other on and get stronger together. Every day. Every workout.

Whether your goal is to compete or learn the fundamentals of the snatch and clean and jerk, our weightlifting program helps you gain and refine the skills you need. And for those who wish to pursue Olympic Lifting competitively, we have an Advanced Olympic Weightlifting class lead by a certified weightlifting instructor who will help you lift to new heights.

Are you age 50+? Longevity is the place for you to develop strength, endurance, balance, flexibility, and coordination- all the key elements of fitness that older adults need to stay active and maintain a high quality of life as they age. Looking for fun classes and supportive coaches? Our Longevity class accommodates all fitness levels with resistance training, cardio, and mobility/flexibility work. You get personal attention from coaches to help you adjust weights, range of motion, and intensity so you can get the best workout every time.

Maybe you are not sure where to begin on your fitness journey. Or maybe you have an injury or other physical need that you are not sure how to work around. A personal trainer is a great resource who will help jumpstart you on the path to your goals.  Personal training is individualized, motivational, and focused on overall fitness, strength, and skill-building.  Our personal trainers guide you in individual or partner sessions on your own schedule.  They identify areas of need, develop a workout that works for you, and give you that extra push that we all need sometimes to achieve goals… all while educating you on skills, and helping you be safe in the gym every day.

Bull City Community Fitness: Opinions

Fantastic experience: I have spent the summer participating in Bull City CrossFit classes. My true love is running, but even a runner has to do some cross training. Jack has done an incredible job creating a very approachable gym. I've been bringing my running buddies through one at a time all summer long and he hasn't broken any of them yet. He is very conscientious about making sure everyone in the room is using good form. He circulates throughout the workout to check in with everyone and gives sound advice about what you can do to improve what you are doing. He never suggests weights that I can't handle and no one in the gym is egging me on to do more. Everyone there has been really supportive and encouraging. I'm definitely stronger than I was when I showed up for the first class. I also appreciate the variety of class times that are available. I've seen other Crossfit "BOXES" around the area and by far this one seems to be the best. I definitely recommend it to anyone who is looking to give Crossfit a try.

Fantastic experience: I am a newcomer to CrossFit and have loved it so far - namely due to the great atmosphere at Bull City CrossFit. The owner Jack does a great job of motivating everyone no matter what their fitness level is. I feel challenged to push myself a bit more each week. I've heard stories from colleagues about visiting CrossFit gyms in their respective areas and not feeling up to par or comfortable among the hardcore athletes in the room. While a lot of clients at Bull City tend to be athletes or in training for a sports activity, I have never felt out of place. The culture Jack has built is one that is inclusive and supportive. This is why I keep going back!

Fantastic experience: I've had an amazing experience at Bull City CrossFit. I had no idea what I was getting into, but the moment I walked in people were very friendly and encouraging. Jack is a great trainer, and he breaks down everything for the novice, and gives insightful tips for the advanced athlete. Every time I come in I learn something about the exercise and relevant muscle groups, why we do what we do, and I have fun. Jack challenges every person to push themselves, no matter what level you come in.

Fantastic experience: Great box! All the necessary stuff... no fluff. Jack is an EXCELLENT coach! GREAT at teaching technique, leading WODs, making everybody feel "paid attention to" and just generally making you feel good about your workout! Always leave feeling like I want to come back sooner rather than later. Been coming here since August 2014. Feeling great and getting stronger and more confident in my skills, lifts, endurance and all around fitness level. Great place for men/women of any age (i'm 49). I've met some of the most wonderful folks at BCCF! I've made new friends and the community feel at BCCF is just the best!

Fantastic experience: 10 stars! I can’t say enough about Jack Wiggen and Bull City Strong. I love this place! I’ve been in the fitness industry and a personal trainer for over 7 years now and reached out to Jack for help in preparing for the Granite Games Competition. I needed to learn Olympic lifts and CrossFit specific gymnastic skills I’d never done before. l started training with him 2x/week and never looked back. The competition couldn’t happen because of covid19, but I had made so many gains I didn’t wanna stop. I’m stronger than I’ve ever been. I’ve accomplished things I never dreamed I could and I owe it all to them. Jack is a very smart and effective trainerwho goes above and beyond. He’s encouraging and motivating, and built an amazing community. I’ve also taken classes with Cornelius White who is great! The Saturday partner classes are my fave. Never did I think I would get into CrossFit and because of Bull City I don’t wanna ever leave. Needless to say I highly recommend this place, don’t look anywhere else!

Fantastic experience: Great gym! I have only done the bootcamp class so far but it was great! The coach, Jamie, was very helpful when I needed a modification for the workout. I talked to Jack prior to coming in and he was very informative and helpful. It's not cheap so be prepared to spend some money for the monthly membership but if you can afford it I say go for it!

Fantastic experience: I just completed a six week challenge with bullcity crossfit this past Saturday! This was a great experience and I will continue to go to bullcity CrossFit until I reach my ultimate weight loss goal. With the support and accountability of Devin Hall, 3 workouts a week, and a nutrition plan I was able to lose 10 pounds and 6% body fat. For me the best part of bullcity crossfit is having accountability throughout the process and guided/supervised workouts. Devin Hall has been a great accountability coach and nutritionist. When she leads workouts she also does them with them group which is also motivating. On my own I just don’t think I was completing great workouts for weight loss. If you’re considering investing in this program and/or gym, you will not be disappointed. It’s also nice to workout with a community of people who are friendly, committed, & focused on physical fitness.

Fantastic experience: Not much to add that hasn't been said in the reviews already. There's a reason everyone gives them high ratings. The staff is great and very welcoming and encouraging at all skill levels. You can even bring your dogs and kids (seriously, there are babies all over the place these days). If I had one complaint, it'd be that Tara's WODs seemed designed to punish old farts like me :-) .

Fantastic experience: Loved this place. I was new and uncertain about CF when I joined, but Jack and his crew were all excellent coaches and very welcoming. Highly recommended for beginners in particular - big emphasis on form. Each workout started with everyone working through the positions together and getting individual pointers from the coaches, before loading up weights and reps. Strong community, too - all ages, stages of life working out side by side. I only stopped going after 15 months because I moved out of state.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic box! I've been coming since June 2014 and really can't get enough. There is something for everyone...regular WODS, barbell club, yoga and endurance (just to name a few)! Exceptional coaches too! They are really great when it comes to teaching technique and skills, very patient and make everyone feel welcome. And in general are just awesome individuals. The community at BCCF is what I love the most! I've made such incredible friends since starting the gym!
