Best Gyms with Free Weights near Raleigh, North-carolina

Jack and Alyssa have by far made this the best experience I’ve had at any planet fitness. Super sweet and helpful team, even helped explain new things to me :)

I travel all over the US for work and this is by far the cleanest and most organised PF I’ve been to. I had a great interaction with MEL an employee there than made my overall experience that much better. Highly recommend if you're considering this gym.

Exceptional service from Lewis and Jake. These two gentlemen provided information about handling my membership and answered questions that I had since I’m from out of state. I was able to have success because of their help. Truly appreciate them

The worst gym ever!!! Very poor management… I started with a $25 all inclusive membership and cancelled it because they have older tanning beds and massage chairs, I didn’t like those. When I switched to a $15 membership, they charged me $30 instead of $15, because they weren’t able to process the payment through autopay on time and then they did it in a couple of days with the late fee through autopay without letting me know!!! Scammers. I would rather go to a more expensive gym with more equipment and space than this MINI gym.

This is a great planet fitness location. Clean and new equipment. Certainly worth the $10 monthly membership fee!

Probably the largest Planet Fitness in the Triangle area (I have been to about 4-5 of them). I have been a member of Planet Fitness for almost 8 years, and I use their facility whenever I travel out of state as well. This location comes with mostly new equipments, very clean and the vibe is awesome. Great location, just off of Louisburg Rd

The staff are welcoming, alert, and diligent. There's always someone cleaning. The locker rooms are well ventilated and smell fresh without being overly saturated with chemicals. The hydromassage beds are great. Equipment is in very good condition. The few times I've noticed equipment out of service, they have been fast to make proper repairs.

The staff are friendly and courteous. I appreciate when they greet me when walking in and wish me a good evening when walking out. The facility is clean and the paper towel dispensers/disinfectant (at least I hope it is) spray bottles are typically kept filled and scattered throughout the gym, so it's convenient to wipe the machines down before and after use.

(update added a star for new hack squat machine) Great price, decent gym. Really tired of people talking on their phones or other people while sitting on gym equipment though. Note to manager: your trainers need better training. They're going to cause injuries for out of shape people with the exercises that are being given to people. New people to weight lifting should be given very light and basic compound exercises.

You wanna earn that fifth star? Start setting the Lunk Alarm off on people who just sit on machines and text the entire time. Your machine selection is pretty sparse when it comes to actual good machines and these bookends just sit and text/doom scroll.

I was visiting Raleigh for the weekend and found this gym on google. It’s very well organized. It fits every gym demographic (influencer, bodybuilder, power lifter, strongman, weightlifter, crossfitter)

The second location of the Hardwork Empire. Just when you thought lightening could not strike twice - Hardwork North has done it again. This place is a vibe in and of itself. Badass gym with excellent equipment, superb lighting, body-pulsating music, and captivating murals. If you’re looking for a gym that exists on its own level, then Hardwork North is the place for you. Complete with an infrared sauna, recovery equipment, and a posing room, this gym provides everything you need to put in the work and keep coming back stronger.

HWSP North and South locations are excellent facilities, both equipped with everything you need for your workout regardless of your sport is powerlifting, strongman, bodybuilding, functional fitness, training for life or anything in between. The staff is friendly, the facilities are always clean, and the equipment is worth writing home about. Rates are beyond reasonable. I highly recommend checking out the facility for Raleigh/Durham locals or out of town visitors.

Staff is friendly and helpful. Owner, Joe, is one of the best humans you will ever meet. This gym aspires to greatness and will inspire you to achieve current goals and create and achieve new goals you never dreamed possible. This community and gym are the best in Raleigh!

You'll go for the equipment, atmosphere and high standards. You'll stay for the friendships, high level athletes and community. I can't recommend this place highly enough. Do yourself a favor and drop in, you'll come back.
