Best club ever!!!!

I joined this gym, on Glenwood Avenue, when they first opened and they do have the best atmosphere, prices, and equipment! Not to mention the group fitness classes that are included in my membership. I NEVER get bored! They have MMA and Boxing and even if you don't do it, it's so cool to watch them train.

Buyer Beware! If you sign a contract with this company, please know that they will hold you to it no matter what THEY do!

Over all great gym. Db's go up to 150, good amount of bench bars, 2 good dead lift areas, 2 good squat, needs more for when busy. You might end up waiting 40 mins to squat.

I joined this gym for the Physical Training sessions. About 5 months later, I moved out of the area and had to cancel my membership. After I sent my cancellation form via Certified Mail, they kept charging my credit card. A year later and I'm still fighting these people. I spoke to several people including their director of operations who seems powerless to rectify the situation.

Beware. Unless you want a world of trouble in the future, take you money elsewhere. There are lots of comparable gyms in the area.

I joined this gym for the personal training. I was lead to believe the session was 45 minutes but it was really only 30. Not long enough to see any real results. Most of the treadmills are broken.

The best part of the of the gym is the friendly front desk staff and that it is extremely clean. Great week end hour but horrible weekend hours. Sales person Mike on the other hand hasn't said a word to me in the year since the day I began working out there. A real downside to this gym is the business practices of management who can't seem to meet published deadlines/announced opening dates after losing there previous downtown Raleigh lease.

Group Fitness

I love the personal touch of the group fitness classes. All the instructors are very personable and approachable. I have really enjoyed Body Jam with Marie and Body Flow with Naomi and Renee. They each tailor classes to meet individual needs. Marie brings an amazing amount of enthusiasm and energy to the dance floor for Jam and makes you have fun. Flow has been a great workout for strengthening, stretching and relaxing.

The owner has integrity issues-he lied about the closing and reopening of a new downtown location. All he wanted was for the downtown members to go to the other two locations. This place has steriod trainers who all have shaddy pasts and have felon criminal historys.

If you do sign up here, do NOT sign up for a personal training contract. You will be charged for any missed sessions, but their trainers will not suffer any consequences, regardless of how many times the trainer cancels/no-shows. I have never seen such unprofessionalism. I am on trainer #3 because their trainers are so terrible and they do not require any standards of them and they will not let...

This gym is pathetic - they can't keep good staff and I have seen signs in the gym offering gym rewards/benefits when members show good internet reviews for the site!

For RF - it is ALL ABOUT THE MONEY. There is no concern about customer's suggestions or complaints. Beware of autodraft - can't be cancelled easily. Same with PT contracts. The management changes frequently and no one knows the procedures or rules. They will do whatever they can to get your money and whatever they can to avoid hearing any complaints or concerns. I wish the original staff were...

Clean, nice equipment, but AWFUL customer service

Average Rating

Classes are good; equipment works. Staff are awful; poor management. They all make NUMEROUS mistakes (e,g., accidentally taking money from my bank account) and offer little more than a lame apology filled with defensiveness. Staff turnaround is high - and they progressively become less attentive and skilled with each new "batch." Hate it. Not worth half the money.

WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!I thought the gym industry would have learned from others mistakes but Rapid Fitness will rip you off in a heartbeat, especially when it comes to personal training contracts.

I didn't even want the training...

I absolutely love Rapid Fitness. It's always so clean and the staff is very friendly. My workouts there are with group fitness. I usually attend Downtown and Glenwood clubs. I love taking bodypump, rpm, jam, and bodyflow. Rapid has the BEST instructors! The club has a very expensive feel to it, but the price is so right!! I highly recommend this club to anyone!

They have helped me from the beginning and I am seeing the results I had been lacking in going to other gyms (which were overpriced as well).

I tend to notice that most people who have problems with their billing are the people that don't...

They recently "downsized" their best asset at their North Ridge location and brought in a sales manager who won't interact with customers and won't even look at the older or heavier members. Apparently it hurts his eyes to look at anything not pretty enough. So if you're not one of the "beautiful ones", don't expect to have your business appreciated. The business bonehead who made this decision...

OH, BEWARE OF DREADED GYM "CONTRACT!" Be VERY careful what you agree to with this gym! They are as sweet as honey, until they get you in what they call a contract. Then, you find out that what YOU thought you signed, is NOT what they say you signed - TOTALLY blatant and unscrupulous tactics and poor customer treatment. As for the gym itself, not so bad. Nothing special though. Turn back, I tell...
