Amazing gym with an amazing staff! I upgraded my membership to include a trainer and my fitness journey has been absolutely wonderful since then. Working out with Tony to prep for my wedding has been nothing short of amazing. He’s an absolute gem!

I've been coming to this gym for almost 10 years, and it has always been a welcoming environment full of friendly like minded people. The staff is always helpful and friendly and the gym is equipped for just about every type of workout style. I highly recommend.

My experience with Fitness Connection has been wonderful. I own a in home daycare. I saw that the gym had once had child care here for the members. I spoke with Reggie to see if the gym wanted to donate anything from the child care center… and he told me that if I saw anything in there I wanted Sure.. I got some very nice chairs that I got to use in my daycare…I’m very grateful and just want to thank Reggie for the donation…sincerely Lolita

This gym is my ultimate go-to! It's always spotless, and the staff is incredible—super helpful and endlessly patient. They take the time to show you how to use the machines if you're ever unsure. And if you're lifting heavy on your own and need a spot, they've got your back every time! I feel so supported here; it's truly an amazing experience!

I’ve been going to Fitness Connection for a little over a year now, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience! The gym has a great selection of equipment, spacious workout areas, and a clean, welcoming environment. The staff is always friendly and helpful, and I appreciate how well-maintained everything is. The group classes are a fantastic bonus, offering a variety of options for all fitness levels. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned gym-goer, Fitness Connection provides everything you need for a great workout. Highly recommend!

Been a member for 7 years now and I can honestly say I have zero complaints about anything here. The staff is tremendous and always greet their members with a smile. The equipment here is great for how affordable the membership is. Great gym!

Great place for a quick workout! Conveniently located next to other businesses, so you can easily fit in a workout during lunch. The gym is clean and well-equipped, and the staff is friendly and helpful. I would recommend this gym to anyone looking for a quick and convenient workout.

I love coming to FC in RTP! The gym has everything I need, it is always lively, and the staff are always friendly, especially Rashaad. Every morning, when i walk in, he is very kind and welcoming. He always encourages me to show up on more days when I usually make an excuse not to lol. I love coming to this location and I have recommended RTP to other people who are looking for a fun, friendly gym to join. Thank you FC for being exactly what I was searching for!

This is one of the most affordable gyms which makes it totally worth it, going there does not burn a hole in your pocket and they have all the equipment you need and people are decent and here to work out. I have been going to this gym for a whole year now and I also got my whole family to join. Been very reasonable and they actually listen to what you have to say, so when I asked them to freeze my account they did, which does not really happens at other gyms. I even got a personal trainer Tony and he is really good and helped me a lot working towards my goals.

Ideally located less than 0.5 miles from my work. I train most lunch times and it is always quiet with all the equipment I could ever need. Staff are friendly and greet me each time I arrive and leave. For the location, equipment and price, this gym cannot be beaten.

They’re sweet and welcoming people, a nice gym and they have a basketball court. Everyone who works here is nice. The gym did up the price now though. (4 stars)

Been coming to this gym for almost 4 years now and I have nothing bad to say! Fitness connection is a gym that’s welcoming to all and really brings the family vibes to the gym. This is a gym we’re I would come to just hang out with the staff because the environment is friendly and welcoming. Chris and Rashaad are always willing to go above and beyond to help you out with your gym necessities.

The new manager thinks that’s funny to post on walls stuff such smile you are on camera as if the gym members are shopping at Walmart or gas stations.Too many members are getting offended and should be removed immediately. Gym members are expecting some updates in the equipments especially after the fee increases. Location is the plus point.

Fitness Connection is a fun and friendly environment. Convenient location and great staff. Ask for Donald if you are looking for a personal trainer; oh and the Zumba classes are amazing!

Fitness Connection is a facility where you can earn gains and earn a gym family. You’re constantly feeling welcomed by not only staff, such as Raashad and Chris, but the members too. I’ve committed to driving 30+ minutes to come here because of how much this place surpasses any gym experience.

Been coming here for years and I always get a good workout. Better pricing than any other gym and it offers everything I need. What more could I ask for?

I have been coming here since 2021 and I wouldn’t do anything different. I will say that I wasn’t a fan of some of the staff in the past but since the new manager, the staff has been on point. This, of course, excludes Rashaad - he’s the front desk from 5AM-12PM, and he’s wonderful. Always has been super helpful and friendly. Honestly, this place wouldn’t be the same without him. The location is also extremely convenient. I live in Durham and still make the drive out here because it’s so easy to get to; even if I’m coming from somewhere else. The gym has everything you need for such a solid monthly price. If you want to lift heavy and not pay an exorbitant amount - this is the place to come to.

Overall, this is a pretty decent fitness center. It’s got a good quantity and variety of weight and cardio equipment. It also has separate rooms for different workout activities. But I’ve been to so many gyms and fitness centers that are just far better than this that, in comparison, I just can’t give this 4 or 5 stars. The worst thing about this place is that it’s ridiculously warm and humid in the upstairs workout area. The a/c in here is terrible. I came in the morning so I can’t imagine how bad it gets at the busiest time in the late afternoon and early evening.

Overall, the Staff at theRTP site is great cleanliness of the sauna leave something to be desired. They need to do a general cleaning of the sauna in a locker room more than once a week because it sometimes smells in the locker room and definitely smells in the sauna .They need a little bit more up-to-date machines but overall is a great place to go train and exercise.
