Hard Work Strength & Performance South — Attraction in Raleigh

Joining Hard Work is the best decision I've made. The community is unmatched and the atmosphere will motivate and push you to be the best you've ever been regardless of your starting point. As a former trainer, athlete and health coach, I can personally say that this is the best gym I've ever been a part of. If you're tired of the box gym bs, want to be surrounded by people who sincerely care about who you are and what your goals are, look no further. Also I've yet to go to a place that constantly evolves as the needs of their members evolve. That's unheard of and it says something about this place. People from all walks go here; professional athletes to people just starting their journey, and there are absolutely no egos. Everyone is willing to help each other, I'm proud to call it my second home.

Update: As someone who's been at this gym for 2.5 years, anyone that walks through the doors instantly understands this place is different. Those that are drawn to Hard Work, are people of high caliber. If you're on the fence, just do a walk through. I promise...

I’ve grown stronger, focused on my weaknesses, conquered fears, and have grown to appreciate the process of developing a body & mind that I can be proud of. In addition to working out, I have found community at this gym and have met so many people that have challenged and inspired me. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain by...

After a month of membership, I am extremely happy with Hard Work. I definitely recommend membership to anyone, especially if you are considering a switch from other options in the area.

I have been at every commercial gym over the past few years, and none of them are remotely as awesome as this place. The equipment here is fantastic and very well maintained. Anything broken gets fixed immediately. The facility is always super clean. Members are considerate and respectful of others.

While it is geared a bit more towards those with a high level of training experience, it is also a great atmosphere for those who are less advanced.

The only downside is the limited locker room space, but with a smaller footprint, it makes sense given the focus on the equipment and...
