The Sweat Lab — Local services in Durham

A fantastic place to sweat, even if you (like me) don't ride! I've been taking only barre and sculpt (feels like barre, with a bit more weights) on and off since 2015, and keep coming back for the unique studio space and talented instructors. Chris may look nice, but he's an absolute beast in every class. (Actually he's very nice, and will make you proud of yourself every time). Amanda never repeats a move and never misses a count (it's a real talent). Casey has a killer playlist that you really want to move to, and Jaimee manages to make early morning torture fun. Alicia is the real deal, very knowledgable about form and modifications. (And I miss Carolyn and Elise, will always come out whenever they return to the studio!) While I don't take cycle, everyone seems to be having a great time when they come out! It says a lot that nearly every time you come in you'll see someone is celebrating their 500th or 1000th class, there's always a warm welcome and a place just for you at the...

Also, very impressed with the strict PPE protocols that were in place - everyone wore masks until class started and all bikes were sanitized. HIGHLY RECOMMEND if you are looking for a local studio to work out at...

The most amazing classes, teachers, and community. As a former D1 athlete I was burnt out and nervous joining a gym. The teachers are immediately welcoming and have awesome energy that make classes and working out fun again. There are tons of different classes (spin, sculpt, yoga, barre, and combos), music themed classes, and lots of times to pick from! It’s also an inclusive atmosphere where everyone is welcome.

I love Chris and Amanda’s 30 min spin 30 min sculpt class. I wasn’t expecting to meet some wonderful new friends who are so supportive in and out of the gym. I’ve been going for about 8 months and am so grateful for this amazing Durham...
