I am a current member of this gym and the only reason I am still a member is because of the proximity to my house, that is about the only good thing I have to say about this facility.The Bad:They just did a re-organization of their stale outdated equipment, and it could not be worse or more bizarre it really is frustrating that no one knows how to run a gym in the area.If I could give it negative stars for the equipment I would.Lastly, the number of teenagers using the equipment improperly is really disturbing along with them sitting on the equipment not using it and looking at here phones. Last week I saw two young teenagers making out in the facility this is what this facility has turned into and with the amount of money they charge for membership you would think they would have top of the line equipment, not even close!Disappointing Frustrating and Sad, these are the words to describe this gym/facility!

I was planning to switch recently from YMCA to UNC but dropped the plan. Note - I am individual member and have no interest in promoting any of the gyms - I am here to save my costs and get value of my spending. …

Way overpriced for the experience you get. I pay $70 a month for limited weight equipment, staff that are not particularly helpful or personal able (except for the one guy that’s always emptying the trash cans…he’s super friendly), limited …

A very nice facility and all the equipment is well cared for and in working order in my experience. Indoor pool and track, plenty of cardio and weight machines, decent free weight area (not huge, but haven't run into any problems with it being crowded or waiting on equipment so far), and some individual training areas on the second floor with various weights, balls, mats, etc. I haven't used either, but there is also a climbing wall and massage services available onsite as well. The facility is clean, and there are plenty of sanitary stations around to clean equipment easily before and after use. Staff has been very kind and helpful in both general information and in instructor lead classes. Their website hosts an event calendar showing all the free member group exercise classes available (as well as more educational classes ranging from health education, Nutrition, and recovery specific clinics). I personally find the location convenient, and there is plenty of parking outside the facility. I've gone at a few different times during the week both around lunch and after work, and have not found it to be too crowded at any point. If it's important to you, on the whole a good mix of people going there across the spectrum of age, gender, and athletic ability, atmosphere is very judgment free so no worries on "being the odd one out". On the more expensive end of membership rates. $76 a month, with no long term contract, no enrollment fee, and can cancel at anytime. You also get 6 free 1 day guest passes a year. Membership comes with a free fitness evaluation with a certified trainer and 30min consultion with a registered dietician, also gives you access to the UNC Meadowmont facility in Chapel Hill. Their website does a good job of highlighting the facility features and amenities, and membership rates and benefits. Overall I have been very happy using this facility and recommend checking it out in person if you are interested to get a good feel for it yourself prior to joining, as enrollment is all done online.

I joined this club because this was the only fitness club in a reasonable distance from my home even though the membership fee was outrageous, $75 per month. However, after few months, I decided to quit, and joined another club with a fair price. It is 15 min drive for me, but I get the value I actually pay for now. The facility is not up to par for that premium membership fee. The variety of workout equipments is just not there. The space is not big enough. There are no special amenities that justify the price. The owner is just greedy. They should cut the membership fee in half. That would be a fair price for this club. YMCA is nearby. Their facility is better and its membership fee is lower than UNC's

Staff is usually friendly and the facility is always clean. And I love how they have so many different types of equipment to use. The pool feels so good on hot days and the hot tub feels even better when you have a sore back

Best gym in the area. You cannot beat having the sauna and the large indoor pool. Equipment is great, staff are friendly. Got a couple of trainers that give you grumpy face but maybe that's just their resting face. I like that I can keep to …

The center is quite close to my house and I was initially hesitant to join because they allow kids to use the center. I just wasn't sure how that would work out. After my one month trial, I saw that it was not an issue for me at all. The …
