Archetype Strength - 24 Hour Open Gym

No hesitation in joining this gym. It has a everything we need: good atmosphere, bumper plates, reverse hyper, ropes, bands, medicine balls, kettlebells, dumbbells, you name it. If you’re not seeing results you’re not doing the work. Period.

I have had such good experience with this place that I would recommend it to anyone looking for gym that not only serves its purpose with having the equipment needed but does so much more then that. I am able to go at the time that fits my schedule since they’re always open & communication is great everyone is respectful and most importantly I don’t feel judged. I feel good when I’m here and I love it!

The gym is great, but should you ever have an issue BEWARE - the ownership/Steve is incredibly combative and unprofessional. And true to form, you do not have to take my word for it - just scroll any negative review on this string and note Steve's response. Each response is combative and takes zero accountability for areas that he could have done better. Similar to Kyle ( note his review and Steve's response - a complete lack of accountability for billing the poor guy for 5 consecutive months after the original challenge that Kyle signed up for ended!). My experience is similar - i signed a six month contract (and realize that when you sign up it is on a very small hand held that makes reading/internalizing the contract very challenging). When I finished signing Steve indicated that he'd send me a copy of the contract - but Ive yet to receive it. My contract was from June 30-Dec 30, yet today Steve informs me that once the contract ends, he moves into a month to month billing cycle. Huh? What is the purpose of a contract if I'm still locked into a perpetual month to month. Despite the fact that I provided a text on Dec. 7th confirming my last payment of my six month contract, and that no further drafts should be issued since I was not renewing my contract - he sends me a flurry of aggressive texts today asserting that I was trying to get out of paying a 30 day cancellation fee - today is the first I was ever even made aware of the month to month after the end of my contract term or the need to even provide notice ( again who does that when you have a contract for given terms?????). And finally, how do you provide notice? The only notice he'll accept is via a form that is hidden on his site !! A form that you can't find or navigate to own your own! Talk about shady and lacking transparency ! Clearly the lack of clarity and transparency around contract terms , the month -to -month billing , and cancellation processes is an intentional money grab. And what is pitiful is that I considered Steve a friend - I joined for 6 months specifically to support him, and had he operated in an honest straightforward manner, I would have even happily paid $100 bucks for the January cancellation fee, but at this point it's principle. There are lots of gyms with good equipment - think long and hard before you contract with someone so combative and unprincipled.Edit: And yet again, zero accountability in Steve's response. I'm not alone in leveling this exact same complaint that many others have, yet it's all my problem/fault and he has zero accountability.Again - I was never given a copy of the contract - Steve only finally emailed me the contract today after he saw this review.I was never made aware of a month to month provision after a contract term end, He never articulated cancellation processes or where to find the form to cancel. And finally I did provide advance cancellation notice - just not via his process, because he only made me aware that there was a process and a month to month provision TODAY. He got a text from me on Dec 7th articulating my desire to end my contract at terms end, and letting him know I had placed a stop payment on the ACH drafts.. Doesn't sound like someone who cares about his customers or making it easy for them to manage a membership at his gym.Again, life is too short, there are many great gyms- Strengthfeed, Capitol strength, Heat - I've been to every boutique gym in Raleigh and have never had an issue until Steve. Think long and hard before you sign on the dotted line......

AMAZING gym for lifters of all kinds. From the wide array of specialty equipment for powerlifting, bodybuilding, olympic lifting, and general health and fitness to the obvious care it's owner Steve puts into it, this gym is an absolute gem! Many precautions are in place to help minimize the spread of germs, and there are never more than ten people in the gym at a time! This gym is a fitness nut's dream! I will 10/10 be back again!!

Great OPEN GYM. Just go in anytime, do your workout and leave. Owner is great, not many gyms can you text the owner directly. Any issues, send him a text. It will be resolved promptly. The facility is always clean and maintained. No broken equipment, missing weights, etc. Highly recommended for a great open gym experience.

Awesome Coaches - awesome community. Beginner friendly, and even though it may seem intimidating at first, its very laid back and fun!

Didn't visit for a work out, but the gym looks awesome. Owner is super cool and location is great.

The owner was very friendly and welcoming. The space was impeccably clean and everything looked so nice. If we lived closer to Cary I would definitely want to be a member!

This gym is amazing! The atmosphere and the people there are very friendly. Also the equipment there is all anyone needs to get the job done.

I love this gym! They have multiple options for all the equipment I need - squat racks, lifting platforms, sleds, rowers, kettlebells, dumbbells, sandbags, airbike, skierg - and it's all very high quality as well. Definitely recommended for anyone in the Cary area.
