Fitness & Gyms in Apex, NC

“I moved here two years ago and had not been able to find a gym or trainers to continue with my PT. Then Peak Topia was recommended. From the very start I found two people who understood what I was looking for and worked with me to create a perfect program. They have adapted the training to suit me. I honestly cannot speak highly enough of Jenn & DJ.”

“My husband has been going to CrossFit Contrivance for a couple of years now and has been encouraging me to join for just as long. After talking with a close friend, we both decided to give it a try this past summer —and I was pleasantly surprised to discover how much I loved it. I honestly didn’t think I could handle CrossFit because it seemed intimidating, intense, and way out of my comfort zone.
What I love most is the community: athletes of all levels cheering you on, meeting you exactly where you are, and pushing you in the best way.
I’m so grateful to have found my new gym home, and for the first time in a long time, I actually look forward to working out again! ??”

“CrossFit Surmount has a wonderful, welcoming community. The coaching is phenomenal and it’s a great place to go workout. There’s also constantly something going on so that keeps you motivated!”

“Coach Dom is positive and provides encouragement throughout the work out. The workouts use compound movements for strength training with the landmine, sled, weights and so on along with core and cardio training. I like how foam rolling and mobility is added to start the workout and the music is upbeat.”

“I joined this gym recently and it’s been great! Very friendly staff and have enjoyed their classes. Lots of equipment and very clean. I highly recommend it!”

“We just wrapped up our first year at Showtime Elite, and honestly it has been such a positive experience for both our family and my daughter.

From the beginning, everything has been really organized and easy to follow as a parent. The communication has been clear and timely every step of the way, which makes a huge difference. We’ve been there for 12 months now and truly have not had a single negative experience.

From the very beginning, they asked for parent input on how to make the gym an even better experience. Everything from how the space was set up to adding things like a snack bar, they really wanted feedback. And the biggest thing is, they actually listened. It never felt like they were just trying to fix complaints, but more like, “this is already great, but how can we make it even better?”

What really stands out to me is that they don’t just focus on what they can get out of the athletes, they really pour into them as people. There’s a strong emphasis on character, integrity, and confidence, not just skills.

They are also very intentional about community involvement. Even little things, like having a clothing donation drop box, and charity events that show that they care about more than just the gym.

The coaches are amazing. This isn’t a place where kids are just being supervised, these are skilled coaches who really focus on proper technique, conditioning, and helping prevent injuries. They’re positive with the girls but also hold them accountable in a healthy way.

The growth my daughter has had this year has been incredible. Her tumbling, confidence, and overall performance have improved so much. The choreography is great, and they really put effort into the whole experience. There’s also a big focus on team bonding and relationships, which created such a positive environment for her socially and emotionally.

I honestly just wish we had found Showtime Elite sooner. It’s such a great place for young women to grow in every way.”

“We’ve had a great experience with Parisi Speed School of Raleigh. Coaches Kris L. and Jacob K. have been awesome with the JS classes, and all of the coaches offer such a positive and motivational experience. They make the sessions fun, encouraging, and challenging in the right way. Our son loves coming each week, and we’ve really appreciated the energy, coaching, and confidence they help build. Highly recommend!”

“Overall, a good fitness center while understanding that many Lifetime's have a lot more amenities such as courts, food, salon, etc. The monthly membership price at this facility is high and might have some issues once another fitness center opens in Apex later this year. I will be checking both facilities out and price will be a factor.”
