Archetype Strength Raleigh — Attraction in Raleigh

New to the area and chose this gym and I regret it. The equipment is okay for the price, people do their own thing and don’t bother you, it’s 24 hrs, and rarely crowded but it’s way too hot. Beware of this. Even with the numerous fans running, it’s hot in here. The light for the bathroom doesn’t even work and it’s filthy, the water cooler is filthy, there’s several signs in the gym that are lowkey condescending. They don’t have staff either which was very weird for me. I’m from NY so this open door policy and no staff is very very odd to me. Whoever answered the phone when I called sounded like they didn’t even wanna be bothered. It’s just odd all around tbh. There should be air conditioning for how much they’re asking. Looking for other gyms once the 3 month period is over. There were cheaper gyms in NY with AC and plenty of wonderfully maintained equipment. This is a disappointment.

Edit: The owner Steve actually reached out to discuss this. He addressed all of my concerns professionally. They do clean the gym it just depends on what time of day you get there and depending on whoever previously used the gym and if they decided to clean up after themselves. Since there is no staff on site 24/7 people really need to be clean and pick up after themselves and unfortunately some people don’t. People need to do better, but beyond that it’s a solid gym. Definitely beware of the weather when coming here in the summer. Snag a fan nearby if you can. They have plenty on site which help with the heat during...

I can’t say enough good things about Archetype Gym! Before joining, I never had the confidence to step into a gym, but this place completely changed that. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the staff and members make you feel right at home.

One of my favorite things about Archetype is how clean the facility is—everything is well-maintained, and you never have to worry about messy equipment or dirty locker rooms. Plus, it’s open 24 hours, so I can work out whenever it fits my schedule. Another cool feature is that you can change the music, which makes a huge difference in keeping the energy up during workouts.

If you’re looking for a gym with great vibes, a supportive environment, and the freedom to train on your own terms, I highly recommend Archetype. It’s the first gym that’s made me feel truly comfortable and confident in my...

I joined Archetype about a year ago. I am no stranger to the globo clubs or the bro clubs. Nothing brings me more joy than to come in at any time of the day and crush my workout with no nonsense, drama or harassment. There is a wide variety of well-maintained equipment that will get the job done. Some even look like torture devices that will leave your legs in peril, but Hey! Never Skip Leg Day, yo! My personal training experience has been amazing. It's always weird getting established with a new trainer, but Coach Will made me feel right at home from the jump. All of the trainers are wonderful and are happy to lend a hand to anyone in need. Regardless of your skill level, everyone is there to help you succeed....
