Fitness Together — Local services in Chapel Hill

Fitness Together is unlike any other gym. It's not some huge chain like Planet Fitness or O2 where you're just one of the crowd and you feel judged when you work out. FT offers custom personal training plans in a friendly and fun environment where I really got to know everyone, both trainers and other clients.

I've been a client since Feb 2023, and from day 1 I felt welcomed. I first met with Brian to discuss my goals, schedule, and concerns. I was nervous about committing to something like this but chose Fitness together because it offered a more private 1x1 relationship. The trainers know your health history and issues (eg flexible ankles, weak knees, pain or soreness on any given day) and modified workouts so that you could safely use all the equipment.

I worked mostly with Tyler and Eric, but also Brian, BJ and Kayla (BTW their scheduling flexibility and communication is top notch!). We established a good rhythm for my 2x weekly sessions, and they would also change things up with new exercises or variations. It was never a dull workout.

I went in looking for help with motivation and gaining knowledge on how to safely use machines or other ways to workout with free weights at home. I never thought I was capable of doing some of the things they taught me, and now I have the confidence to do them on my own.

About the space: there's a small office in the front with an area for some pre-work out cardio (bike, elliptical, rowing machine, treadmill) by the TVs. There are 3 semi-private workout areas with their own free weights, cables, mirrors and other stuff. You might hear or see others, but it's great focused time with just you and a trainer. There are private bathrooms and a shower in the back if you need it. Plus plenty of parking out front or back, with a backdoor for easy access if the front lot is full.

I didn't intend to remain a client forever, but I know I can go back if desired. Thank you for making...

The most amazing place and people!! The best part -- the trainers. Brian showed me (an old, overweight woman with a poor history of working out) how supportive and genuine a trainer could be with his open, nonjudgmental, good-humored intro sessions. Then BJ became my trainer and showed me that the approach was not limited to Brian. BJ was friendly, encouraging, and most important, very casually gave me the ability to see myself as someone capable and who belonged in the gym space. I've never had that opportunity before and truly believed it wasn't even possible to feel welcome and good in any sort of fitness regimen.

Thurmond trains my husband and is an ideal match for him, too -- smart and easygoing and challenging in the exact way husband wants. I love working with every trainer there, and get to when they seamlessly cover for each other's necessary absences. I've learned a lot, been met exactly where I needed to be, and laugh every visit. I've been with BJ for 2 years now, which blows my mind! And I still enjoy my sessions, am more motivated than ever, am stronger than ever, and hope to keep going for a long time.

Worth every penny, this investment in health. They grow you and grow with you as your needs or goals change. Big fan. Recommend for anyone and everyone, from my lousy fitness level to...

I started with FT back in October 2016 via a wellness challenge at work. Before I started with FT, I could barely walk a short distance before giving out of breath. Because of the personal training I'm receiving at FT with my awesome trainer I have completed a walking 5K in under an hour, I sleep better, I have more energy and I am wanting to be more active! FT designs a program specifically for you, it's not some random workout they print off...the workouts are tailored to you and what you can do and they take into account any health issues you may have. These guys are the best there is in my opinion. They have really helped me on my road to fitness and overall health. My health has improved so much since starting with FT. Please give them a try you will really be glad you did. They really care about you and your goals. They help you set realistic goals and are excited as you are when you achieve them. I can't thank them enough for all the support and encouragement they...
