Fitness & Gyms near Haw River, NC

“I went in to O2 not knowing much about what was offered, but the amazing staff, specifically the guy who played football at Elon - (can’t remember his name sorry!!!) helped me out so much. Can’t wait for this new journey at O2!!”

“I had no previous experience with CrossFit prior to the last 6 weeks. I frequently visited the gym to do light weights or walk on the treadmill, but nothing to the level of physical activity that CrossFit entails. I chose CrossFit Simplicity because I wanted to push myself and it was conveniently located in Burlington, NC.

The gym is fairly clean, with decently maintained bathrooms and a shower. They provide shower and workout towels, and there's plenty of equipment available, all in good condition. Parking is plentiful right in front of the gym, so that was never an issue. They also sell a variety of waters, workout beverages, and protein shakes, which is very convenient.

The coaches at CrossFit Simplicity are outstanding. Special shoutouts to Mindy, Mike, and Chris, who were exceptionally welcoming and supportive. They have been encouraging and helped push me further than I ever thought possible. They understood my starting point and tailored the workouts to be manageable for me. The programming is diverse, with various weight lifting and aerobic exercises. I particularly enjoyed using the Wodify app to schedule classes and track my progress—it's convenient and accessible on my phone.

Before joining CrossFit, I was intimidated and doubted my ability to keep up with the workouts. However, the coaches really helped me scale the workouts to my fitness level, making them doable and enjoyable. I consistently attended the 8:30 am class, 6 days a week, and made many friends, developing a strong sense of community. The other members were welcoming, engaging, and willing to help orient me around the gym.

The overall vibe of the gym is wholesome and family-oriented. It was common to see dogs accompanying their owners and children, which made the experience even more fun. Daniel, the owner, was very accessible. Before joining, we communicated a lot about my needs, and he was able to accommodate them. I appreciated seeing him around the gym regularly.

One thing to note is that the gym can get a little warm on hot days, but they have a few fans to keep it ventilated.

Overall, I highly recommend CrossFit Simplicity. It's a great place for beginners to get their bearings and gradually push themselves as they get stronger. I give the gym a 5/5 star rating.

One piece of constructive feedback is to switch up the music occasionally, as Daniel's taste in emo/screamo music wasn't my favorite (:P). However, when I suggested different music, the coaches were receptive and accommodating, which made me feel seen and heard. I'm so grateful to have CrossFit Simplicity in my life and I'm recommending it to everyone I know.”

“I love this place! Hear me out….I hate working out but I love coming to burn! The workouts aren’t boring, the trainers are helpful and the community is friendly and supportive. Everyone there has the same goal! Although I love it here there are a few things I don’t enjoy. It’s really expensive. Nothing tangible is included in that price. No merch, protein powder or bars (just childcare if you need it.) The gym is only open until 10am on Saturdays and closed on Sundays.”

“I’ve been taking classes here for a few months, my teachers are so good at what they do. There’s never a dull moment and I feel like I’ve been making so much progress in my aerial silks journey! A very safe and supportive environment, fun and engaging teachers, and you will learn great skills with even just a few classes. An awesome aerial gym!”

“Always clean. Always 2 at the desk and they are attentive. My first day in a gym since before Covid and thankfully it wasn't crowded. But I'm hoping i can keep up and get this going!”

“I’m a strongman competitor and I called and spoke with who I think is the owner, he was super friendly and invited me in!

Average day pass cost, awesome gym with most everything you’d need outside of strongman comp prep!

I also saw him coaching the snatch to some of his students, and I’ve seen a lot of bad in the fitness industry but the students had a great grasp of the movement and the owner/coach had excellent cues and coaching points!

This a gem of a CrossFit box and sad it’s not in my hometown!”

“Never been so excited to leave a review!! Where do I begin? Environment? Phenomenal! Team building (literally) incredible!! You become part of a family and also community. The coaches are all amazing. Me, personally, I feel incredible, and I’m in my 30’s!!!”

“Best equipment, atmosphere and surroundings to reach your fitness goals. There is not a gym that so have been to in the last 3 years that has been close to the level that Superfitness is on. The owner truly cares about his patrons and it shows.”

“I have been going here for about 3 years. Absolutely love it. Their trainers are amazing as well and super knowledgeable and work with you to meet your goals for what will work best for you. The front desk ladies are always super sweet too. I also like the fact that if you ever need help with something, usually someone is around to lend a hand.”

“Love the planet fitness at this location because of the small and the equipment. It has all new machines and very updated compared to other locations. But it does get very packed and kind of placed in a bad area. Multiple times people have been in the parking lot smoking pot. One of the workers was outside boxing someone and leaving the desk unattended. And quite a few times the bathroom has been nasty and looks like none of the staff check up on the bathroom.”

“Originally I told someone who made me a protein shake here that it was only a 5/10. Truthfully, it was a 10/10 protein shake. I wanted to apologize on here, and I hope they didn’t take my in person rating as the truth. This person did a tremendous job , and I can tell they are passionate about what they do! Thank you Golds gym, and thanks to you too, two names, should you end up reading this..”
