Warriors Playground

Fantastic experience: If you’re interested in getting fit, but unsure about going to a gym to figure out an appropriate workout, Warrior’s Playground is the place to be. Barrett has set up workout routines to fit a variety of fitness levels, but always keeps it challenging. I’ve been attending classes with the Warrior’s Playground for over 3 years and it has kept me moving forward with my fitness goals. It’s always a positive and fun atmosphere. I look forward to seeing and working out with the many clients who attend throughout the week and the only one you’re competing against, is yourself.

Fantastic experience: The classes led by Barrett or Mickey are fun, intense, fast-paced, and you definitely get your money's worth! Good music. Great vibe. I love that you never do the same workout twice. Everyone is super friendly, and they have a children's playroom! Easy to drop off the kids and know that they are being taken care of by a friendly face while you work out! Their style is unique, and I've seen much improvement in my physique, muscle tone, and even nutrition choices because of this gym. Love the Warrior's Playground! Speed is the key!

Fantastic experience: Warriors Playground is the best gym in the Durham/Raleigh area. Barrett is a great trainer who creates new routines to keep you entertained and get you out of boring gym habits. Not only that, the community is supportive and great!

Fantastic experience: You get such a great workout everytime the instructor is so helpful i really wouldnt think of going to a boring regular gym ever again.

Fantastic experience: Before I started at Warriors Playground I was a poor, ugly and out of shape nerd. After a few months I was transformed into a handsome IT thousandaire, who could beat the snot out of my former self. All jokes aside, this place is great. For me, it felt like I had a personal trainer. I had just moved to the area, and was living in an apartment nearby with my wife and kids while house hunting. Our new home is too far into Raleigh, so I sadly had to cancel in search of a closer gym. Thank you Barrett and Kevin (and all the folks I met who worked out there). Great atmosphere, great workouts!

Fantastic experience: This place is amazing! Each and every workout is unique and keeps you engaged the entire time. Barrett puts in time and energy into planning each class to be fun and challenging and will happily accommodate different skills levels. The community is wonderful and will even do canoeing together for a workout! I highly recommend this place for an energetic, unique, and challenging workout.

Fantastic experience: I give Warriors Playground five stars(*****). Barrett is dedicated to providing variety in each workout and is also committed to ensuring that you receive a full body workout. I enjoy all the workouts, but the cardio and strength combo workouts are my favorite. If you commit to the workout routine, you will definitely see improvement in your overall fitness and strength. Warriors Playground is the best kept secret in the RTP area.

Fantastic experience: I've been an active member of this gym since May 2019, and it's been the best decision i've made in awhile. It's a group setting that offers Cardio, Strength, and boxing classes. It's tough, but you get the results you pay for. The owner is great without being overly pushy and the members are great. i highly encourage anyone looking for a gym to check our Warriors Playground.

Fantastic experience: Warriors Playground is one of the Triangle's best kept secrets. Extremely convenient location and time options. Barrett offers creative, fun workouts that challenge your fullest potential. Full body exercise routines change all the time and targets different muscle groups. Safe, controlled training environment where you are constantly pushed to your limits. Whether your goal is to lose weight, gain muscle mass, improve endurance/speed, Warriors Playground can help you reach ALL of your fitness needs. By far, one of the best places I have trained at.

Fantastic experience: I love this gym. It brings me back to gym class back in grade school with old school equipment but with a twist. The owner is so innovative with the circuit training that it never gets boring. Both challenging and customizable workouts for all levels of fitness. Everyone is welcome. 100% recommend this awesome place.

Fantastic experience: Put in the time and see the difference! Barrett is a great trainer will make sure that you get all you can out of your experience, your workout, and yourself. He keeps it challenging yet interesting and leaves you hurting (in a good way) yet coming back for more. I can’t say enough good things about this gym. It’s clean, it’s inviting, it has a great staff and delivers great results. Try it and see for yourself.

Fantastic experience: Ive been coming for 3.5 years now and I’m still always challenged and have not gotten bored. I still highly recommend this gym!

Fantastic experience: The only gym I will ever attend. Great workouts with supportive people! Definitely a place to check out!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming to Warrior’s Playground since September 2017 and love it!! The classes are group circuit training using Tabata type timing intervals. The trainers (Barrett, Anthony and James) truly care about your fitness success and do a great job of switching up the exercises daily, so you never get bored and work different muscles. I thought I was in pretty good shape before, but have seen a huge improvement in my strength, endurance and tone since coming here. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a challenging workout!

Fantastic experience: I had a pleasure of working out with the team here for the last 6 months. The experience and transformation is phenominal. Both Barrett and Howard are exceptional coaches and their encouragement and giving confidence to push yourself is praise worthy. The team here is extremely positive and working out here is fun and drenching at the same time. As getting fit is mostly personal behaviour and associating yourself with great team can make all the difference. The workout style here is so different everyday that it never seemed monotonous. It is also very affordable without draining your wallet. I am glad that I was able to associate with them in transforming my life style. Would highly recommend this place for anybody looking for a change and ready to take actionable measures.

Fantastic experience: I've been coming to Warrior's Playground multiple days out of the week for almost a month now and might I say that I have not gotten bored yet! I really like that each class has a different combo of exercises every day, which allows my body to maximize muscle growth. The high intensity interval workouts have really given me a fun way to get my cardio in, which is usually something I dread. Barrett has really been an amazing trainer, in that he really helps me to maximize results with his constant encouragement, always challenging me to do better and give the exercises my all. In the short time that I have been coming here, I've already seen a huge improvement in my stamina, strength, and my ability to sweat (didn't know I had it in me to produce so much, but leave it to Barrett to find a way). I've been approaching my fitness goals quicker than I expected. I think I have found a new gym home! I would highly recommend the Warrior's Playground to anyone looking for a challenge who doesn't like being bored and wants to be motivated by Barrett to do your best in order to reach your goals and get fit!

Fantastic experience: I love this gym! I found Warriors Playground by google searching gyms in the RTP area and luckily found WP. They offer your first month at a discounted rate so you can try out all of the classes and schedules to make sure its the right fit for you. I appreciate this greatly! The classes alternate between cardio days and weight days with a Tabatha type lay out (55 sec on 20 sec off) which is great for cardiovascular endurance. When I started , I was 16 weeks pregnant and Barrett, the owner, and the other instructors were great at modifying any exercises I was unable to do as I continued on in my pregnancy. Every class is different and challenging so you don't plateau! Also, the people who attend the classes are super friendly and welcoming and make it fun to show up! I unfortunately will have to take a leave of absence just due to my work and travel schedule conflicting with the current class schedule but I definitely plan to return in the fall once my baby is here and thing with travel die down! highly recommend this gym!!

Fantastic experience: I have been with this gym for over a year and grow up to know Barrett (The owner) as a very professional and competent gentleman. He cares about his clients and their fitness goals. The gym is kept well and clean, He make sure he switch up exercises for everyone's needs and make it fun. I will recommend anyone to Warriors Playground.

Fantastic experience: If you want an easy workout, this is not the place to be. If you want a workout that will reacquaint you with what your body is capable of, Warriors Playground is THE place to go. The exercises are innovative, efficient, and effective. Each 1 hour circuit workout involves several stations with 1.5 minutes on, 15 seconds off. Everything is ready to go when you walk in the door, and you're in and out of there in an hour with ZERO time wasted feeling like you had the best workout of your life. One of the things I appreciated most was the level of attention from the trainer during the workout. Trainer strikes a perfect balance of being encouraging, keeping everyone accountable during the workout, and observing everyone's individual safe limits. Really, really fantastic gym. Some of the best workouts I've ever had.

Fantastic experience: As a cardio-junkie and marathon runner, I HATE strength training. It’s not for me, despite it being a really important component of cross training and staying healthy and injury-free. I found Warrior’s Playground in August, and started with their cardio strength classes because they essentially tricked me into enjoying strength training. I’ve since moved on to incorporating the pure strength-focused classes into my routine. This is to say, I’ve grown to LOVE this place and how strong it’s made me. I really believe that because of the functional strength exercises that are used in the classes, I’ve been able to race my best without injury. I’d recommend this place HIGHLY to anyone looking to get stronger, but also to the runners and triathletes out there who view strength training as a chore. Take the leap, try some classes, and have fun actually strength training!!

Fantastic experience: Warrior's Playground is my meditation... Absolutely. For 4 years, I enjoyed every workout. Guaranteed fun.

Fantastic experience: We moved to the RTP area about 4 years ago and after 3 years of looking for a good gym, I joined Warriors Playground. Barrett is AMAZING! Each and every class is different. I've seen a dramatic difference in my body since joining. I tried lots of different gyms and boot camp programs around the area and this is by far the best. Anyone looking for a challenging and fun workout should check it out!

Fantastic experience: This a great place no matter your level of fitness! The workouts are always challenging and never the same!

Fantastic experience: Great workout, every one is different. I think it's great value for the money. You do exercises at your own pace for a set time, change move to a different station for the next round. In 45 minutes you get a full workout. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: I love going to Warrior's Playground! The gym members are such a positive and inviting but that you instantly feel comfortable. The people are also are very encouraging and are great accountability buddies! The trainers push you to work hard and test your limits. My time at Warrior's has been nothing but enjoyable (and sweaty, haha)!!

Fantastic experience: There is a social aspect of this gym that you don't find in any other place. Best gym around!

Fantastic experience: This is a great gym to go to if you're looking for a non traditional approach to fitness. I started going to Warriors Playground about 2 months ago and I've never finished a workout not feeling like I wasn't pushed. The workouts are very challenging but suitable for people of all fitness levels. The owner Barrett is great and is welcoming of all gym goers.

Fantastic experience: Five star gym and great workouts!!! I highly recommend!!!!

Fantastic experience: Barrett does an amazing job mixing up the exercises and keeping everyone motivated. I love this place.

Fantastic experience: Warriors Playground provides a great workout with interesting, varied exercises that challenge you to the point to reach your fitness goals. I highly recommend it!

Fantastic experience: Warriors Playground has intense and interesting work-outs. They regularly change the exercises to keep you from getting bored.

Fantastic experience: Warrior Playground is a great workout experience! Barrett is great as far as motivation and creative workout exercises. No time is wasted when working out is what I like best about the workout. After the 45 minute workout, you are totally drained and the results you will get are great. 5 stars all around.

Fantastic experience: Fun place to stay fit and increase your stamina.

Fantastic experience: Great workout

Fantastic experience: Only gym I've attended that doesn't feel like i wasted my time and money. I've been to other gyms and hate the hassle of waiting for a machine to free-up only to finish and start the whole processes again. Warriors Playground doesn't work that way, you show up at the scheduled time and in about 45 mins of non-stop grunts and groans, you're done. The workouts are intense but attainable for everyone. Not to mention, people are friendly and supportive. You will see results in no time. My personal favorite part of the class, are the ever changing workouts. Never know what new contraption Barrett will come up with next.

Fantastic experience: This is probably the coolest, most eclectic group of people I've been able to work out with. Barrett is a fantastic trainer/owner and makes the gym experience fun and challenging. Highly recommended.
