While the transition from Fuel Fitness to Fit4Life was certainly surprising it has been nothing short of incredible. It is a completely new gym experience with new equipment, updated facilities, new aesthetics, and the ability to come and go 24/7 along with great staff! I was worried about possible adjustments to monthly price but was quickly reassured and payments have remained the same. I now feel I get to be part of a high end gym at the price of a local gym, it’s been great!

The Durham facility is Class A. 95% new equipment and it’s the cleanest darn gym I’ve ver been to. The staff is very friendly and if you put in just a little time, they welcome you by name. They are kind and instructive. On top of that, the smoothie bar offers a quick post workout protein lift at a feasible price. If you are in the Southpoint neighborhood, I can’t imagine a better gym alternative Thank you

As a Golds gym member this upgrade at the facility in Durham is perfect. Its built for bodybuilding now. I can now enjoy a choice of the two gyms depending on my weather and mood and not miss out on any movements. All the new equipment is very smooth. The staff is very friendly as well.

I joined Fit4Life in October after my son told me about their new equipment and invited me to workout. The gym is now available 24 hours. The staff and gym members are really nice. It’s a great place for a workout.

Fit4Life Fitness in Durham has been a game-changer for me. The energy in this gym is unmatched—motivating, positive, and community-driven. The facility is always clean, the equipment is well-maintained, and there’s a great mix of machines and free weights for every level of training. The staff goes above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome. Trainers genuinely care about your progress and are always available to offer guidance or encouragement. You can tell they’re passionate about helping people reach their goals, whether it’s weight loss, strength training, or overall wellness. What I love most is the atmosphere—no judgment, just good vibes and people pushing each other to improve. The 24/7 access is perfect for busy schedules, and the membership options are very reasonable for the quality you get. If you’re in the Durham area and looking for a gym that actually feels like a community, Fit4Life Fitness is the spot. You’ll leave every workout feeling stronger, motivated, and supported.

Update: I have really enjoyed being able to lift late at night due to the extended hours. Because of that, I've updated the rating to 4/5. _____________________________________ I have had a very poor experience during the transition between Fuel Fitness and Fit4Life. First of all, my app is not working so I cannot access the gym at all. Second, I've called and visited multiple times during staffed hours and no one was available. Next, I noticed three separate charges to my account that I did not authorize. Lastly, they charged a non-negotiable one time fee for preexisting members.

Conversion from Fuel Fitness is chaotic. Former employees not aware of how to transfer folks to the new company and were frustrated. They were kind, just uninformed. We get an email that we can come in and anyone can help us convert. Unfortunately, that statement was not true. I went in an the folks working at that time were unaware of how to transfer. They were kind, just uninformed. Today I was pleasantly surprised when there was a person present for those of us who work out early who was well informed, answered questions and got things transferred. Because I had a special situation that involves adding on people since the plan I had no longer exists I was told to come back to add people. It was explained what needed to be done and it seemed to be pretty simple. Again, a very pleasant conversation with someone who was mostly informed. Then I meet the part owner/general manager who already seemed to be overwhelmed and defensive. I began to explain what I needed and shared what I had been told by other employees and he states that I was told the wrong information and wanted to know who I spoke with. He then proceeds to accuse me of being defensive and confrontational for no reason and not allowing him to speak. Look, I get it that perhaps the transition was not like it was for other clubs, however, I'm a client at this club and there is chaos. My first impression of the new owners should not be someone who is automatically defensive and confrontational. What happened to "I understand how confusing things can be, how may I make this easier for you?" You don't put the blame on the other company even if it is their fault. Clients don't care whose fault it is, we just need to be treated with respect and empathy. I didnt get that from the general manager. Not sure if I will keep my membership or not; if I don't ever have to deal with that general manager again, maybe. Update: I'm staying only because of the local staff. Christina is amazing!

I've been attending this gym for a few months and have had the great pleasure of working with Alex, Zac and Jordan in the personal training program. They are skilled and attentive trainers, and I recommend anyone reach out to them if interested in training. Shout-out to John who does a wonderful job maintaining the equipment and facilities.

Just joined this gym a few months ago. From the start, Allison and Zach have been so welcoming and friendly. They have definitely made me feel comfortable coming into a new gym. All of staff/personal trainers are super nice and helpful. Alex is a great personal trainer, definitely keeps a client! Super nice, friendly, and is always willing to help anyone with their fitness journey!

Convenient hours, friendly staff, and decent array of gym equipment. Have really enjoyed personal training with Allison! Her programming is well thought out with a focus on good technique and sustainable progress. I never feel bored as she incorporates a variety of different exercises in each workout.

This review is based on my experience working with top-notch trainer Allison Przytulski at Fuel Fitness. Allison has helped me gain confidence in navigating the gym and helped me rediscover my strength. She is deeply knowledgeable about training methods for women, and is both fun and engaging. I highly recommend.

If I had to give a constructive critique of gym: Photo quality of member ID pictures could be improved.

Fuel Fitness is hands down one of the best gyms I've ever been to! The facilities are top-notch, and the overall vibe is welcoming and motivating. But what truly sets this gym apart are the trainers, especially Allison. She's an incredible trainer who really knows how to push you to your limits while making sure you stay on track with your fitness goals. Allison's motivation and support have made such a difference in my progress. She’s always there to offer personalized advice and encouragement, whether you’re a beginner or more advanced. I highly recommend both Fuel Fitness and Allison if you're looking to take your fitness journey to the next level!
