Excited to be part of this gym. Fernando Cruz and the team are excellent instructors, and the results speak for themselves. I’m genuinely proud of the gains I’ve made in my BJJ training through the program Fernando designed for me.

I highly recommend North Durham Fitness. I joined about 8 months ago and I highly enjoy the classes led by talented and knowledgeable professional coaches! After going to boring gyms, I finally had the inspiration to try a class at North Durham! The members and coaches have become friends who motivate each other and meet occasionally for parties. A lovely international community of people who want to improve their lifestyle, including teachers, veterans, managers, university faculty and more. Thank you, North Durham Fitness!

I began taking Dr. Krista’s women’s weightlifting class in late August. As a woman approaching 50, I could feel the results of a pretty sedentary lifestyle closing me up. As a wheelchair user, I wasn’t sure what kind of gym opportunities would be a good fit. Miraculously, I asked North Durham Fitness if they had a coach with experience in adaptive training... cue Coach Krista.
I go three days a week with the most incredible group of women I could hope to be with. They are powerhouses, and I’m constantly inspired by their strength. My own strength has increased exponentially since I joined. No exaggeration. I’m visibly stronger, with muscles bulging that I didn’t even know existed. I’m able to do more at home and in the community. I’m far more independent.
I feel my new strength in the simplest activities, from loading my wheelchair into my car to lifting more weight in the gym than I ever imagined. This is the best gift I could have given myself. I’m only three months in, and it’s already changed my life. I can’t wait to see where I’ll be after a year, two years, and beyond.
The most incredible thing about Coach Krista and the women there is their attitude of support for one another. We all celebrate each other’s victories. Thank you especially to Coach Krista, who brilliantly adapts whatever I need so that I have the same opportunities as everyone else. A+

I am enjoying the morning strength training class at North Durham Fitness. The owner, Amy, leads this class. She is very knowledgeable in her craft. She teaches proper technique and is invested in helping us strengthen our bodies. This is a great place to come together with other women to build friendships and muscles.💪🏽

My daughter-in-law Amy recommended this gym and I have fallen in love with the 6:00am class. Everyone is so friendly and Coach Bruce really takes the time to work with each person individually. By recent bone scan has improved and my doctor told me to keep going to the gym because it was helping me.
