Olympus Athletic Club

Fantastic experience: WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR IN A GYM? Do you want a sushi lounge/pool/heated lockeroom floors/hairdressers/GARBAGE lifefitness(hammerstrength) machines? Then head on down the road to LIfetime. IF YOU ARE SERIOUS ABOUT GETTING IN SHAPE this is where you go. They have HIGH END BODYBUILDING equipment you rarely see in big box gyms because that equipment is too expensive and too expensive to maintain. STRIVE/PRIME/NAUTILUS/DYNABODY/BODYMASTERS/ARSENAL(most arsenal equipment I have seen at any gym) It was not crowded when I went because they do have a slightly higher price point I think but it is not crazy overpriced. This gym is comparable to Fitness Factory(100$clt) and The Office(40-50Lakewylie) so 70$ is not crazy expensive. One muscle group I would add a machine or 2 is biceps but they got everything else covered and legs and chest have a boatload of new arsenal stuff for. The bathroom was clean but there is one toilet in the mens room so be aware of this. Only been once but incredible vibe and getting a 45$ 5 day travelers pass took about 20seconds.

Fantastic experience: Best selection of machines and equipment. Immaculate vibes, people just there to lift some weight and have a good time. Plus free dog pets most of the time too! Chiro / soft tissue and massage on site too.

Positive experience: Very good old school bodybuilding equipment from the likes of Body Masters, Nautilus, Cybex, etc. Tons of dumbbells and unique Arsenal strength machines. My first issue is that the staff is very disinterested, they really don't give a rip about you and just sit behind the desk on their phones. Also, it's insanely expensive; it costs $20 just for a day pass and $75 per month. Even as a bodybuilding enthusiast, I can't see how this is a fair price. The equipment is great but it's not a huge space and there are no other amenities to make this price somehow more reasonable. Also, the bathroom is not in the best condition, it has just the absolute bare necessities in there. My last thing is they had a dog roaming free, I don't get how on earth that can be perceived as good when it's a distraction from your workout. Disgraceful from that aspect. Decent gym overall, good equipment but everything else is not.

Fantastic experience: My husband, my daughter and I love this gym. We have been there since last November. Staff members and the gym owner are very nice and friendly. They have treated us like family members. It’s a friendly environment where we can train, pose and prep for competitions. Other than that, gym members are also friendly and nice. They offer to help, give advice and motivate each other. There are variety of dumbbells and equipments are unmatched compared to other gyms. Definitely the best gym in Raleigh ????????????????????????
