Fuel Fitness Durham

I go because it's close to home, and it WAS a well kept gym. But recently, lots of machines are broken and not fixed promptly. And the leather is cracking on most seats. Update 12/17/24: This week, out of 13 treadmills, SEVEN are broken! And many other machines are broken too. I'm sad, because it used to be a nice gym. But it seems like the current owner is not invested in upkeep. Update 12/23/24: Many of the machines were finally fixed this week! Waiting to see if this is the beginning of an improving trend....

Fuel Fitness is hands down one of the best gyms I've ever been to! The facilities are top-notch, and the overall vibe is welcoming and motivating. But what truly sets this gym apart are the trainers, especially Allison. She's an incredible trainer who really knows how to push you to your limits while making sure you stay on track with your fitness goals. Allison's motivation and support have made such a difference in my progress. She’s always there to offer personalized advice and encouragement, whether you’re a beginner or more advanced. I highly recommend both Fuel Fitness and Allison if you're looking to take your fitness journey to the next level!

Been a consistent gym member here since around the time ownership has changed hands. Firstly, location is great, staff is very friendly and the price is fair, but for the past year or so maintenance and upkeep of the gym equipment is seriously lacking. Treadmills are abundantly "out of order", upholstery for many machines are ripped and torn and some cable machines are frequently broken and unusable. With the current ownership I have not seen significant moves towards the upkeep of this gym as of lately. This is an emerging issue that needs to be addressed.

DO NOT PURCHASE A MEMBERSHIP HERE. AC/Heat has been broken for over a year. Several TV’s have been broken as well for roughly the same amount of time. Dirty, old, worn machines and pads. Frequent broken equipment. Today alone I noticed 10 treadmills “out of service”. No paper towels to sanitize machinery! They upped my membership two months ago without notifying me. I was told the annual fee’s I paid were used for the general maintenance and upkeep of the gym… that is an absolute lie. I’ve worked out here for seven years. I was fine with the older equipment for the cheap membership but this place is falling apart because of its new management. They were too busy opening up NEW gyms and didn’t fix something that was already good.

I mostly use the personal training services here and Alex has been an awesome trainer. He is attentive, knowledgeable and kind , and has been a blast to work with. I would recommend him highly , as he makes work out challenging yet fun
