Love this Gym one of the best I’ve been part of! 10/10 highly recommend all locations!
Training review: My archetype trainer Will is really great and the progress that I've made from on and off beginner to someone that's approaching intermediate level has been amazing. Has been super helpful in really analyzing my form and finding things that I can adjust to get over humps. I look forward to continuing my training and getting stronger. Archetype is also flexible about rescheduling sessions or pro-rating monthly dues if I can't make it, with enough notice.
Okay here’s an honest review. If you are looking for something private that you can just lift weights it’s a pretty cool little spot. Now for the equipment… basically everything is tailored for chest, legs and some back. There aren’t any machines for shoulders or biceps. Also the cardio equipment is really slacking. If you’re from a big city and use to big gyms with a lot of equipment, this isn’t the place for you. If you’re looking for quick and private with mediocre equipment then it’s your spot.
I love the gym! Never busy, 24/7, great equipment selection
Trained here for over a year and overall happy with gym and love the lack of crowds
Easily the best gym in the triangle. If you’re looking for a bad ass private gym, this is it.
By far my favorite location, being able to choose my own music without killing my ears with my earbuds has to be my all time favorite, no weirdos being allowed is also my favorite 10/10 recommend Steve is cool or whateva but the COO Allison is my fav of all time
Great gym!
very good gym,had some of my best lifts there
No complaints, have recommended to many of my buddies 💯
