Top 5 Gyms in North Carolina

9775 Linville Falls Hwy, Newland, NC 28657, United States

“I was entertaining a friend from Mexico who wanted to see the fall colors, so I decided to check the falls out after going through the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and Roan Mountain State Park. We both agreed that this was the best view of anything we saw on the trip. We didn’t have much time, so we were only able to make it to the upper falls overlook, Chimney View overlook, and Erwin’s View overlook. We both wished we had a lot more time, as we only had about an hour until it got dark. While it is possible to do the whole thing in an hour, I would say that there is easily half a day of hiking and viewing available here.”

“I heard about these shoes called on cloud, went to the store over by southpoint mall to see how the shoe was. As soon as I hit the door I heard someone welcome me in. Spoke to someone loved the shoe, Brought a pair for me and my husband! Fast forward idk exactly what happened but someone was wrong with my shoes, called the store Isaac picks up, I tell him what's wrong and he said come in and I'll see what I can do for you. Get to the store, Isaac's working with someone else, but Matt starts helping me, than cout (sorry I know I'm spelling his name wrong) he was great by the way, he comes out with 2 pairs of shoes. They didn't they my exact color, which was fine. He helps me put them on, laces them up for me, asked how they fit and feel. They fit great, did the exchange for me and I was off! Now that excellent customer service by far. Thank you all for all your help and hard work.”

210 Owen Dr, Fayetteville, NC 28304, United States

“I'm a newbie to the gym and everyone has been great. From the staff to the members. I signed up after my second visit but I was decided on the first one. They have child care, showers, lockers, etc. All the gym equipment I've tried works well. The place is always clean and the staff seems very knowledgeable about fitness and nutrition. There is plenty of space and multiple machines of the same ones. I recommend this place 💯!”

4705 Indian Trail Fairview Rd, Indian Trail, NC 28079, United States

“My expectations were blown away. I though there would be a rink with some people skating. What I found was multiple rinks with games being played, free skate and personal training going on. All at the same time and different rinks! Then, I saw the upstairs! This area is in the middle of 2 large rinks and you can watch what’s going on down below. Arcade machines. Bar with full on food. I didn’t try the food, I was there for the ice experience and boy did it deliver. There even a hockey shop if you need gear. AND there was a birthday party going on. All of this at noon on a Sunday. Mind blown.”

1231 Hargett St, Jacksonville, NC 28540, United States

”I've been to Planet Fitness's through California Washington Texas Illinois Indiana, and now North Carolina... I've also been to plenty of other competitor gyms. The one thing other than this being a gym for beginner to novice weight lifters that always sat planet fitness lower than the competitors that i complained about more than anything else is the quality of the showers. Im not sure about anyone else, but i like to take a hot shower before and / or after a workout. This gym has officially put itself on the top of the beginner to novice gym list because its water is pretty freaking hot. Flawless with everything else, clean cool staff friendly gym enthusiasts Key reason about warm showers,it loosens your muscles and it warms up your core temperature, which allows your blood acidic levels to rise way faster, causing more damage to your muscles and tendons...This is how they get stronger. Cold showers you go right to working out, and if you're out of shape, i bet you will pull something. Another note is that your body heals fastest when its core temperature is 1.5 degrees warmer than the standard 98 degrees... fact, look it up when you also your body heals the most shy because its core temperature is rose enough for the most efficient repairs to take place. Warm shower before and after a workout is just like the same for bed. You will also notice a decrease in your recovery time in between sets if you take a hot shower... fact, don't believe me, try it, then try after a cold shower.”

South Mountains State Park, 3001 S Mountain Park, Connelly Springs, NC 28612, United States

”This is a beautiful hike to the High Shoals Fall at South Mountain State Park. There are multiple hiking trails throughout the park. We choose to hike this one for the waterfall. When you enter the park, you drive all the way to the last parking lot. There are restrooms and beautiful picnic areas. Take the time to look at the map at the entrance of the park. It will advise you which paths to take and the intensity of the hike. The hike once you get closer to the falls and after is pretty intense, but thankfully, they do have resting benches along the way. The trail follows the river, and there are plenty of places to stop and rest as well as cool of if need be. The water is cold but feels great on a nice, warm day. The trails are well marked with color markers, and there are signs everywhere along the trail that help direct you. Bring plenty of water with you to stay hydrated. This was a beautiful hike, and we definitely recommend this hike. Beautiful views and trails.”

”I joined Bucked Up Fitness in April 2022 and it is one of the best in the area. They offer a variety of memberships from day pass to options of monthly, 3 months, 6 months and 1 year memberships as well. It’s great that they are the main tenant which allows gym members to use the second floor and plenty of space including turf, kettlebells, dumbbells and 2 aerobics rooms. For those that are looking to rehabilitate injuries Bull City Physical Therapy (Cary, NC) is located on the top floor.”

”Took a yoga class here for the first time. I can't believe I've just found a hidden gem on the East side. The class was awesome. Everyone was super friendly and welcoming. The instructor told me about becoming a member so you don't have to pay for individual classes. My husband and I just joined, so now we have a cool place to work out together. There are so many activities and classes to choose from, and we will never get bored. There are outside things to do as well, like a walking trail and disc golf course. We are looking forward to taking more classes and fitness training.”

”Played on 12/08/23 with 5 friends. Second time for me and first for 4 others. Dormant bermuda grass in fairways and tees, but was in great shape to play any shot. Greens were very fast and true. I love this course. Top public course in Charlotte area. You should play here at any time of the year. Food, drinks, and pro shop were top notch.”

774 Dragway Rd, Wilkesboro, NC 28697, United States

”First time being back here since they opened back up for the Harley Drags , it was very unorganized , we was suppose to start racing at 11 am , then 2 pm , then finally started about 3:30pm by then it was 90 plus degrees. I give a 3 star because they done a really great job of cleaning the track up and a great job when a rider went down to getting help to him fast. The announcer needs to learn how to speak because he overlap so many times nobody understood what he was saying 1/2 the time. Plus it wasn't loud enough if U was up on the hill. They need to do some improvement or want be many going back there for Harley Drags..”

”Service was so slow that we had to ask the manager to have someone take our order. The fish sandwich was ok but the sweet potato fries were burned. I should have sent them back but by that time I just wanted to eat my sandwich and leave. Why the cook sent them out and why the waitress brought them to the table, I will never understand. I waa visiting from out of town and I didn't want my friend who took me there feel even worse.”
