I’ve been training at North Durham Fitness for a while now, and it’s hands down one of the best gyms I’ve been to! The facility itself is fantastic—lots of space, well-maintained equipment, and a great layout that never feels overcrowded. The location is super convenient, with plenty of parking, making it easy to get in and out without any hassle. I participate in the women’s weightlifting program (see pics of what a typical workout looks like) on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and it has been such a great experience. The community is supportive, the coaching is top-notch, and the programming is both challenging and rewarding. On top of that, I do personal training with Amy, who is an incredible coach. She’s knowledgeable, motivating, and really helps tailor workouts to my individual goals. If you’re looking for a gym that offers great coaching, a welcoming atmosphere, and a spacious, well-equipped facility, North Durham Fitness is the place to be!

For any ladies considering starting a strength training journey, North Durham Fitness should be at the top of your list. As a four year member of the Women's Powerlifting Program (with ZERO lifting experience prior to starting here), I can attest to what a transformative four years it has been, physically and mentally, not to mention the incredible community of supportive women that has been built here.

I look forward to working out here, at North Durham Fitness. Love the Powerlifting class! It's a smaller class which allows for basically private coaching through the various movements. The coach is awesome at modifying movements as needed based on individual needs, and has extensive experience in powerlifting. I started this class several years ago having never powerlifter before, and have been coached through a surgery safely. There is also a mobility class that is super helpful for stretching after lifting. The atmosphere of this class, and the whole gym, is welcoming and supportive for all people of all fitness levels. Joining this gym has been great! Love it. If you're looking for a workout home: this is it!

I started here on a promotional trial after having my first child and wanting to get back into a workout routine. A little over two years and another child later, I’m still loving my time here. The couches are so supportive and give great guidance on appropriate ways to scale workouts (even during pregnancy). North Durham CrossFit is a wonderful community of members and friends, and I’ve gained an appreciation for and enjoyment of weightlifting and CrossFit style workouts that I didn’t expect.

This gym is no miss no fuss and the coaches, instructors and athletes here are the warmest, most committed and most knowledgeable I have encountered. Always there to support you, wherever you are in your journey and always ready with alternatives to ensure you stay safe while still challenging you to reach your goals. Everyone supports each other right from day one! Love them all!!!!

I love North Durham Fitness; I had never tried a CrossFit class before, and I appreciate how much work the coaches do to make the workouts accessible for everyone, regardless of their level of experience. Also, the community that the classes provide is really great. Highly recommend!

This is the best CrossFit Gym because they truly make CrossFit for everyone. I started attending classes here when I was 6 months post- op from an orthopedic surgery. Every movement, every workout could be scaled to my starting level. (I started out with 12 inch box step ups, and one year in I’m doing 20 inch box jumps with my eye on that 24 inch box). The coaches are knowledgeable, attentive, and fun. I’ve attended morning and evening classes and the people you workout beside are great! They’re encouraging and kind, and love to see each other succeed and reach new goals. You couldn’t ask for a better fitness community.

Update: I have now been attending Crossfit classes at North Durham CrossFit for a little over a year, and I haven't slowed down at all! A few months in, I upgraded my membership so I could attend more often. This week, I got to participate in a competition. I've found not only better fitness and more confidence but also a great community of supportive people. If you're on the fence about starting, you should give it a try, regardless of your current fitness level or experience. I've been going to this gym for about two months, and it's been a great experience! I had never done any CrossFit or weight lifting before, and the coaches were great about helping me learn the ropes and jump in. The other members have been welcoming and supportive as well. Special shout out to Coach Ewan for patiently explaining all the movements to me so many times and always being helpful with feedback! I've always struggled with establishing a consistent work out routine and staying motivated, and now I actually look forward to my CrossFit classes. I definitely recommend giving it a try!

After 15 years of doing Crossfit, it is nice to have a new home at North Durham Fitness. The coaches are friendly and knowledgeable and make every class fun, even the tough ones.

Where do I even begin? I’ve been coming to North Durham Fitness for a little over a year, and I absolutely love it! I have participated in the CrossFit group classes, which are perfectly sized — not too many people that you feel crowded or left behind, but not too few either! Before joining NDF, I was skeptical about CrossFit. It seemed elitist, exclusive, and unattainable for me. However, the coaches and community at NDF have made CrossFit approachable and even fun! The NDF staff are very knowledgeable and take the time to ensure the workouts are scaled to each individual’s specific needs — whether you are a twenty-year-old in college, a full-time mom, or retired seventy-year-old! This is - by far - the most accommodating, welcoming, and INCLUSIVE gym I’ve ever been a part of. Perhaps the best part of NDF is the sense of community and support, both from the coaches and other gym members. Whether you participate in the CrossFit or the Powerlifting classes, the support, encouragement, and camaraderie at this gym are unparalleled! While many people typically join gyms for weight or appearance-related reasons, I can attest that NDF will not only help you reach your physical fitness goals, but it will also positively impact your mental, emotional, and psychological wellbeing. I’ve never felt more confident and empowered to tackle tasks in my professional life, home life, and everything in between. CrossFit is challenging, but it also incredibly rewarding. With the support and guidance of NDF staff and community members, you will reach goals you previously thought were unattainable. And the best part is, those accomplishments don’t stop at the gym — you will see a positive influence in every aspect of your life. So what are you waiting for? If you’re ready to become the BEST version of yourself - mentally, physically, and psychologically — this is your sign to take that leap of faith and join NDF today! You’ll be so glad you did! 😉
