Best Group Fitness Studio near Durham, North-carolina

The most amazing classes, teachers, and community. As a former D1 athlete I was burnt out and nervous joining a gym. The teachers are immediately welcoming and have awesome energy that make classes and working out fun again. There are tons of different classes (spin, sculpt, yoga, barre, and combos), music themed classes, and lots of times to pick from! It’s also an inclusive atmosphere where everyone is welcome. I love Chris and Amanda’s 30 min spin 30 min sculpt class. I wasn’t expecting to meet some wonderful new friends who are so supportive in and out of the gym. I’ve been going for about 8 months and am so grateful for this amazing Durham institution!

Super welcoming, helpful, and fun environment where the instructors care about you getting the best workout for you! Clean facilities and great class offerings.

Sweat Lab is great, love the owner, Chris’ spin classes M, W, F, and Sun. Great community of regulars all ages and pain tolerances. :D Always leave having been challenged with a smile on my face. Barre classes are fun, too.

So glad I found this place! The energy is great. I’ve taken classes with multiple instructors and everyone has been amazing! Very welcoming place. Would 100% recommend.

I truly enjoy going to work out at The Sweat Lab! Cycling and Barre are my jam, and I can’t believe I hadn’t joined sooner. I also have tried sculpt and yoga and appreciate the balance this place has! I love the music variety, and the positive energy every instructor gives whether it’s my first time in their class or not! Overall, this place is fun, encouraging, energetic and kind!

What an awesome gym! I was in Durham over an extended period of time so purchased passes to attend classes here. The hotel had a gym but it’s much more motivating and fun to be with other people. I highly recommend you give them a try, if I lived locally, I would be a member. Being 48, I was probably a little older than the average member but it didn’t matter. The other members and coaching staff were great. The coaching staff were extremely welcoming and personable but also professional. They pushed just the right amount and really helped with my form. While I was there I observed people that were newer to working out and the coaches met them where they were. No judgement at all! Thanks F45!!

I really enjoyed my time at this gym. The head trainer, JC, is incredibly friendly and helpful, making this location a very welcoming place. The f45 programming is also great. I saw noticeable gains in my fitness after attending f45 regularly.

A friend of mine recommended F45 Shannon Plaza and I am so glad I decided to join – the workouts are fun and having personally struggled with coming up with what to do while I am at the gym, I appreciated the daily curated workout plans and the opportunity to pair up and workout with my friends! Shoutout to JC and the team of coaches for their warmth and for always pushing and encouraging me – I walked out of each workout energized and looking forward to the next day. It has been a truly fun experience being a part of the community and thanks to F45 Shannon Plaza for playing a big role in my fitness journey.

I cannot rave about this location enough. I was visiting Durham for 3 months and wanted to join a gym to meet people in the area. I felt welcomed at this F45 immediately! From the staff, to the members- everyone was so nice. It made me look forward to working out. The staff take the time to learn your name, push you through each workout and they challenge you. I’ve gone to many F45s and this one has been my favourite so far. If you’re contemplating trying F45, try this location! It’s a great workout in a studio full of people that are there to better themselves. It’s worth it!

Best gym I've ever been to, highly recommend! The trainers here are so knowledgeable and welcoming, there's a wonderful sense of community which makes working out super fun and keeps you coming back. The workouts are adaptable so you can keep challenging yourself no matter what level you're at, and they also change regularly which keeps things interesting! F45 workouts are also dense, 45 minutes of hard work and you're done. 💪🏼So glad I joined!
