CrossFit RDU

I would drive 60 miles round trip every day just to go to the gym. There were 10 – 15 gyms closer but that is how much I loved this community of people. The coaches and people that work out there are top notch and to simply put it… «Good people». I have dropped in at many different boxes across the country and have not seen a better facility to date. If you haven’t tried CrossFit before, drop in for a free boot camp every Saturday at 9am to see what all the hype is about.

I don’t usually write reviews, but Crossfit RDU has been the absolute best gym that I have ever dropped into, for both training, friendliness and support. I travel a lot for work, and have been to dozens of gyms, ranging from Hong Kong and London to Detroit and New Orleans. This gym went far above and beyond my expectations. This is for several reasons:
1. Friendliness– From the very first day, every one of the trainers (Steve, Josh, Meredith, and David) came up to me to introduce themselves, and remembered my name, had conversations with me, and gave me great 1 on 1 advice and coaching. On top of that, several members of the gym introduced themselves and had a conversation with me. I feel that that happens at some gyms, but the level of genuineness and respect was so clear to me. The place was just so friendly and supportive (support I will get more into later)
2. Training– Each time I went to the gym, the workouts were challenging varied, along with lots of advice on how to scale and how to work on form. It felt that the staff was very intentional with programming, and the rationale of each workout was clear; I could see how the weeks and months connected to develop each participant. Also, watch out for the Wednesday workout! I was there for a couple of weeks, and each Wednesday was super tough and fun!
3. Support– This is a tough one for me to write about, but it feels like an essential one to bring up. I had some serious family issues that came up in my trip that forced me to stay longer in the area. It was a very rough time for me emotionally. The way that I get through personal hardships is to exercise in many cases, so I went to the gym a lot during that time. When the trainers noticed that I was there longer than I told them, they checked in with me to see whats up. Once I told them what had happened, everyone expressed genuine concern about how I and my family was doing. One trainer in particular talked to me for a longer time, asked the name of my family member that was in the hospital, and told me that he was going to pray for them. This concern meant so much to me; it was small, but was something that moved me. They knew me for a matter of days, but showed me a level of care and concern that was astounding. These small acts of kindness helped me out so much over my times of hardship.
The gym was amazing; rather, the people of the gym were amazing. The staff and members make this place, and I will always come in when I am in town. People always talk about Crossfit being a community. Honestly, I never believed that; always thought it’s a great workout, but never considered it anything else. Crossfit RDU changed my opinion. I only wish that I could join and be a part of it more. If anyone in the gym is reading this, thank you for the support and kindness. It meant more than you could imagine.

This is the largest and most well equipped facility I have ever trained at. It’s especially nice since this is my home gym. I have dropped in at many other facilities across the SE and have not once found anything close to what we have here at RDU. I am extremely grateful for this every time I come train. The gym, coaches and community are second to none!

Crossfit RDU has an expansive facility that houses professional and fun coaches as well as enthusiastic members. There is a free boot camp on Saturdays at 9AM (worth checking out!). CFRDU is truly a family and you will feel welcomed as you achieve your fitness goals in a Crossfit facility.

Amazing gym with amazing people! The coaches are top notch. If you want a good workout and to make some big gains on your goals this is the place.

Crossfitrdu rocks! Before joining the gym I attended 6 free Saturday bootcamp classes. I realized that there is a whole other level of fitness beyond my 13.1 running routine. Crossfitrdu has given me strength and confidence to perform tasks like moving objects such as my electric generator (100 lbs) safely. The community of athletes there is also awesome. Very supportive and includes beginners through crossfit games level athletes. Since joining a year and a half ago I’ve dropped in at several other crossfit gyms and I have yet to find one so complete. Just do it.

I was in town for a wedding a few weeks ago and stopped in to this fabulous box. It was amazing and HUGE and the coach (whose name escapes me) was really awesome. He even did the 100 burpees for time with the class. Everyone in the class was nice and encouraging– I didn’t feel like an outsider. Not to mention drop ins are FREE which is another amazing thing :) I really encourage anyone who lives in the area OR anyone in the area for a short time, give it a try. The facility was really amazing, everything was new and the people are really nice :)

On a short trip to Raleigh Durham I had the pleasure of dropping in at CrossFit RDU. I was greeted by josh and Steve the owner and they invited me into their facility as one of their own. After a brief intro of the gym I was let loose for an open gym session (keep in mind I do have a few years of lifting experience and if you are new they will help you learn).
The facility is top notch and huge filled with all the best equipment but that’s not all. The proof is in the pudding so to speak because they’re producing some amazing athletes at this gym. I was checking out some of their daily workouts and Believe me they will make you better and stronger and faster. If you have any interest and increasing your quality-​of-​life stop by CrossFit RDU and see for yourself what they are made of.

Free drop ins plus the owner Steve is one of the most genuine coaches I’ve met. You’ve got to visit this gym. It’s probably the nicest one I’ve been to. Tied, platforms, 4 rigs, and a million GHDs. Crazy awesome facility with a staff too match

It’s a HUGE facility! I really enjoy the FREE bootcamp classes on Saturdays at 9am. At that time, there is also a CrossFit Kids class going on. The kids love to give high fives which I think it really adorable.
The bootcamp class starts with a nice warm up. Then they go over the rules and everyone stands in a circle and introduces themselves.
These workouts do not contain heavy weights. They usually have a mixture of pushups, sit-​ups, running, wall balls, lunges, squats, jump rope, box jumps, and kettle bell swings. You usually work with a partner on the assigned workout.
After the workout is complete, the whole group does an ab exercise together. This morning, the ab exercise was wall squats and planks.
I am not currently a member, but it is very tempting! My friend has been a member of this gym for the past year and she is ripped! The results are tremendous.

I’ve been a member here for a year and I can’t say enough good things about it. Steve and the other trainers are incredibly supportive. They push me to accomplish things I never thought I could do. But it’s more than just a gym because the staff and members have become like a second family to me. I’ve never felt more supported and encouraged by everyone there. I work out harder than ever before, but it’s always fun and keeps me coming back for more.

FANTASTIC gym and outstanding coaches ! VERY Friendly and welcoming members pushing each other everyday to be the best they can be!
come check out the fun
