Archetype Strength - 24 Hour Open Gym

Steve and Thad are awesome trainers! There's convenient class times and the location of the facility is very convenient for ppl in both Cary and Raleigh. Have already recommended to one of my girlfriends. If you're ready to work hard, this is the place for you!

I just completed the six week challenge and I can honestly say that I have never had such amazing results like this in all my years and years of working out and dieting. The meal plan was not your typical “diet” because it was not about eating less, but eating right. I never felt like I was starving myself, which makes this plan more realistic to keep up on a day to day basis. The workouts were definitely different than anything I was used to. Steve taught me how to push myself in a way I could never do on my own. This was not an easy challenge by any means, but that’s why it helped so much! Not only do you have access to Steve on a daily basis, you also a part of a community that helps you to stay honest and committed, even when you feel like giving up. If you’re truly ready to make a change and have the drive to do so, I would definitely join this program!

I’ve been going here since March and it has been a great transformation!!! I’m loving the weight lost and the way my clothes fit. I would recommend this gym to anyone who wants to put in hard work to get good results fast !!!

Group fitness that feels like you have your own personal trainer! Great workouts! Easy to follow nutrition plans and they help you stay on track with everything! This place has it all!!

I was looking for a new way to get myself back into shape and try something different. I saw the ad on Facebook for Archtype and decided I was going to try the 6-week challenge they were offering. I met with Steve Olson the owner and I was very nervous about trying this. But I did it and I have to say, I did the work but the program they offer saved my life. It wasn’t about the weight loss, it was about a lifestyle change. And the team at Archetype supports you 100% of the way. You can do this, no excuses!! So if you are looking to make a change in your life, I highly recommend you give them a try. You will not be disappointed!! I went through the 6-week challenge and I am healthier and happier than I have ever been!! They want you to succeed and they help and guide you all the way!!

I had a hard time breaking out of my usual workout and diet habits whenever I would try to improve them by myself. So I decided to seek assistance through Steve at Archetype Strength. 6 weeks later I can say that it was one of the best decisions I have made for my fitness and overall health. Steve and the other trainers not only motivated me, but pushed me to do things that I never tried or thought of. They helped me with my form, movements, etc in all my lifts which in turn helped me progress much quicker and safer than I would have on my own. After seeing this progress and growth I couldn't help but sign up for more training and I am excited to see what the future holds with Archetype Strength!

This place was exactly what I needed. I finished the 6 week challenge losing 23 lbs total. I decided to keep going because I now enjoy how working out makes me feel. Steve is great and is also able to modify workouts on the fly for individuals who may have specific issues such as knee problems, back problems, etc...

This is an awesome place to lose weight and get fit . I tried many places to loose weight and was struggling with my weightloss. After finishing the six week challenge I have lost the weight I wanted to lose and could get fit . I will highly recommend this place for anyone who are looking for loosing weight and get in shape. I thank instructors Steve and James who helped me with my weight loss and they corrected me at each step during workouts when ever I was doing incorrectly and participated in my success.

I have yet to finish my time training at Archtype Strength, update to come!So far my experience training at AS has been good! Just what i needed to get my year started with a bang, and to become a physically stronger version of myself. Steve is very strategic in his approach to, well-- everything! From business aspects to making sure his training is working for the individual, i am appreciative of his keen awareness to the details. Steve has created a great system of support and is an excellent motivator-- you WILL get strong. I have only been training a couple weeks and i am amazed at this new-found strength i've developed over such a short period of time! I also appreciate his team of trainers, and recommend going to classes led by Thad. He is personable, has spunk, and seems to know his craft and the mechanics of the body well.

The gym is really effective, I did the 6 week challenge and lost inches everywhere, clothes fit so much better and the side benefit of being much stronger is not bad either. It builds stamina in a non-boring way. No lengthy runs or treadmill/elliptical workouts. You are constantly moving, the hour flies by after you've been there a couple of weeks. Between that and eliminating all the processed foods you'll feel great and look even better. For me, the weight training thing was a bit intimidating at first since my gym time usually meant cardio before this, but it's addicting! My favorite exercises became dead lifts and bench press. Who knew? So glad to have given this a try, I'm very happy with my results.
