Fantastic experience: I recently spent a month in Apex, NC and was lucky enough to find Peak City Gym. Brendan and Shane gave me a warm welcome and made me feel right at home. Continuing with my workout while I was away was very important to me and I found what I needed at Peak City. Great workouts along with terrific members and coaches. Thank you and I will see you in the fall.

Fantastic experience: Peak City Gym is hands down the most fun I’ve had while voluntarily sweating in public. The small group classes are the perfect size—big enough for good energy, but small enough that you get to know everyone. The owners/trainers really take the time to get to know you personally—your goals, your strengths, your “please no more squats” face—and somehow push you to do more without making you hate them. Even when my motivation dips, it’s the community that keeps me coming back. There’s just something about sweating it out with people who cheer you on and groan through the last round with you. If you want a gym that’s equal parts challenge and community, Peak City is the one. You’ll leave every class feeling stronger, more motivated, and maybe a little sore in places you didn’t know existed.

Sarah Martin 5 months ago

Fantastic experience: After 6+ months of working out at Peak City Gym, I have nothing but positive comments on the small group fitness classes and the trainers/coaches there. The semi-private classes are a fantastic way to get just the right amount of coaching from the trainers and yet have the flexibility to individualize your workout as needed. Signing up for classes through the app is easy, and online communication and email reminders are great. The atmosphere is one of hard work, but we laugh and have fun throughout the process. There's a family feel to the classes, and the camaraderie amongst members is fantastic. The coaches and other members motivate you and keep you going, helping with accountability in a wonderfully respectful and positive way. It's not a competition - it's a genuinely supportive environment. I love that! Also importantly, I always feel safe with the coaches watching out for form and technique. I'm happy to have found this community!

Audrey Shelly 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I was skeptical about joining a gym—I’m way over 40, don’t like gyms, am not athletic, and cringe at exercising in front of others. But I know strength training is important for older women. So I attended a trial class and was hooked. Now I’m loving learning new exercises, in classes, at a gym, several times a week. PCG is refreshingly holistic. Shane and Brendan have created an environment of support and camaraderie. The trainers give individual attention even in group settings, demonstrate good form and modifications, and encourage progress appropriate for each individual. PCG strength training classes are challenging, satisfying, and a good time—no matter your skill level. I greatly appreciate that PCG is improving my current, and future, quality of life.

Uma Maryada 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love the semi-private classes at this gym! They offer a perfect balance of affordability and personalized attention with trainer-led sessions. The small group sizes, typically 6 to 12 people, ensure that you receive individualized input and feedback. All the trainers, Shane, Brendan and Andres, are excellent, providing expert guidance and motivation throughout each session. I highly recommend this gym to anyone looking for effective workouts in a supportive environment!

Fantastic experience: I rarely write reviews, but when I do, I include info that I would have found helpful when I was doing research. A friend pointed me to a longevity podcast about a year ago, and I started binging Peter Attia's podcast, his book "Outlive," and other doctors' healthspan podcasts. When I learned about the accelerated rate at which people naturally lose muscle and bone mass as they age, I was shocked into taking action. Plus, vainly, I didn't want to look scrawny anymore. My husband and I researched and interviewed several workout options, including gyms, private training, and online classes. Peak City Gym aligned well with our fitness goals. What Peak City Gym offered that we were specifically seeking: -- Whole-body resistance training at a level that fatigues without causing significant soreness afterwards. -- Three inspiring coaches who model and teach us how to exercise using proper form to avoid injury, always offering exercise accommodations for people with limitations due to back issues, knee pain, etc.. -- Small classes throughout the day with easy online signup for each class so that we have lots of flexibility to work around our busy schedules. -- Individual attention and corrections in every class. -- One-on-one counseling sessions with coaches to set personal goals and maximize our results, including discussions about nutrition and supplements. -- A friendly, supportive atmosphere that encourages us to look forward to working as hard as we want to. No mirrors. No one filming their workouts for TikTok. No unfamiliar, over-stimulating workout music that only gym rats have ever heard. No young people making us feel old and under-muscled (my husband is in his 60s, and I'm...younger than he is). On a personal note, I have had major surgeries on three body parts, including a significantly fused spine for scoliosis in my 40s and rotator-cuff shoulder surgery a few years ago. I consulted a physical therapist at the Spine Center at UNC last month to make sure that my training at Peak City Gym is not harmful. After describing my PCG workouts, the therapist affirmed that this protocol of working out, concentrating on my core, is extremely beneficial for me, and he wished all his patients would commit to this type of exercise. I feel very comfortable that the coaches at Peak City Gym are helping me to exercise safely. While we are fairly frugal and I never imagined we would pay to belong to a gym, it is worth the money for us because of the value of how much it has improved many aspects of our health and our lives. In 6 months, my lean muscle mass improved from the 15th percentile to the 50th percentile for my age. I have more energy. I look better. I feel stronger. I never thought I could accomplish this. Thank you, Shane, Brendan, and Andres!

Kim Minneman 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a gym member for 3 months. The trainees are so nice and helpful. They are concerned about proper form and not pushing you into doing more than you are comfortable with. The other members are friendly too. Love it!

Vicki Kemp 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I joined Peak City Gym a little over a year ago. My primary goal was to build strength in my core and my legs and arms. I watched how difficult getting in and out of chairs, lifting legs and other every day movements we take for granted when we are young, became difficult for my parents as they moved through their 80s. I am lightyears ahead of where I was a year ago with my goals. I have been able to progress at a pace comfortable for me. Working with Shane, Brendan, and Andres is a pleasure. They are all very knowledgeable and so helpful when you need an exercise modified. All three of them have fun personalities, which helps make the exercising and training much more enjoyable! Everyone at this gym is so welcoming, regardless of age or ability. This has been one of the best decisions I have made for myself. Come check it out!

Kent Pritchett 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Have been going to Peak City Gym for a few months now and have found it to be absolutely fantastic. The workouts are challenging, but well supervised and supported throughout. I strongly recommend anyone who’s looking for small group setting with workouts that’ll offer variety and the opportunity to improve your fitness and mobility levels to check them out.

Kristin McClanahan 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Joining PCG has helped me get back into a fitness routine after a long absence. The trainers are friendly and pay attention to individual needs, abilities and goals. They are also fun to be around! The class sizes are small and the focus is on each individual becoming stronger. I highly recommend this gym!

Fantastic experience: I'm thankful to have found Peak City Gym. The trainers are great and work with you wherever you are at in your fitness goals. The classes provide a good structure to make the most out of each session. The atmosphere is friendly and motivational which keeps you wanting to come back.

Rebecca Meekins 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I started at Peak City about a year ago. Being a senior, I was concerned about my strength, balance and flexibility. I have seen great progress in all 3 of these areas. The atmosphere is very positive and not at all intimidating. I’m looking for progress in my skills, not comparing myself to others’ journeys. Brendan and Shane, the owners, as well as Andres, are responsible for the positive and encouraging atmosphere. They know members by name and get to know the individual and their specific goals and needs. I love Peak City Gym! Otherwise I would not have stuck with it this long. And I plan to continue with my journey!

Peg Dorer 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Excellent program trainers and community. This is a great gym, especially for those over 40. It has exceeded my expectation in increasing my strength, balance and flexibility.

Vianette Medero 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: After a knee injury I was physically and mentally unable to workout. Physical therapy helped but was not frequent enough to improve my condition. I learned that PCG was a place where coaches are well trained and know how to adjust workouts for people with different types of injuries. The coaches (Shane, Branden and Andres) provide a workout that can be tailored to the individual which has helped me improve my condition and enjoy the gym. Even with their impressive knowledge, they are very personable and know everyone by name making you feel that you are part of the family. Because of this I highly recommend this gym. You will have a great safe workout that is adjusted to each one of us.

Martin Bridges 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I love this gym. Class sizes are small so attention to individual’s needs are met. Doing the exercise properly makes all the difference to my fitness. I feel stronger every day.

Fantastic experience: At Peak City Gym, the personalized attention from instructors has truly elevated my fitness journey. The small ratio allows for tailored guidance, ensuring I get the most out of each session. What sets this gym apart is the incredible camaraderie among members – it's like having a built-in support system. Whether you're a beginner or seasoned fitness enthusiast, the positive atmosphere makes every workout enjoyable. It's more than just a gym; it's a community that fosters both physical and mental well-being. My experience here has been nothing short of fantastic!

Aileen Hogan 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: First let me say that the last traditional gym membership I had was in the mid- 1980s so I could take aerobics classes. I have been a regular walker for many years but understanding that more would be required to get me through menopause and beyond I started researching various fitness options. In January of 2020 I was in a bit of a panic because we were getting ready to embark on an REI Adventure in New Zealand and I was not sure I was physically ready. Peak City Gym was not officially open yet but Shane and Brendan were accommodating and I was able to join in some of their sessions being held at another location. Never having really worked out like this I wasn’t sure about committing to a membership. I took a photo of my workout Brendan had written on a whiteboard and shared it with a trusted certified athletic trainer, his response; “those guys know what they are doing”. It was a new experience for me taking direction from trainers (who are my sons’ ages) but Brendan and Shane do really know what they are doing and more importantly, they know how to work with their target audience (and beyond): motivating us, pushing us, while treating us like family and making it “enjoyable”. I look forward to my twice weekly small group workouts and really do feel better afterwards. I encouraged my husband and son to give it a try; they both became members. I realize I need to invest in myself (in both time and money) so I can continue to remain active and fend off aches and pains. I am definitely in better shape, stronger, and more flexible today in spite of being 3.5 years older!

Dan Killian 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: This is hands down the best gym I’ve ever been a member of. Classes are planned out for me so I just have to show up and do what I’m told BUT that’s not the best part; it’s really Shane, Brendan, Andres, and the other members. I’ve met some amazing people here and I laugh out loud with them almost every day. The camaraderie is amazing and for the first time in decades I’m excited to go the the gym.

Christine Kobelka 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Love this gym! Moving to the area I knew a box gym wasn't for me. I needed a place where I could find community. The environment is welcoming and the workouts are challenging, yet always adaptable depending on your individual needs. I love the focus on functional training to help you stay living a healthy day-to-day life. Shane and Brendan know what they are doing, no fad training routines here. I am so glad that I found Peak City Gym!

Harriette Vinson 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Almost two years ago I was very sick and the odds of my survival were one in twelve. With the help of Shane and Brendan, my recovery has been remarkable and I am able to lead a full life with only few limitations. I will never be able to thank them enough for encouraging and challenging me and adapting workouts to accommodate my abilities. I would not be where I am today without my Peak City Gym family.❤️

Greg Coley 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I joined PCG a little over a year ago. I was so nervous. I was a past member of Lifetime and doing the same exercises I had done forever. Getting nothing out of it. As soon as I walked into PCG and met Brendan and Shane, I felt comfortable right away. They are awesome trainers and even better people. My first intro class was tough but I absolutely loved it. I am doing exercises that I did not think this 53 year old could do anymore. So rewarding!!! My very favorite part is the family atmosphere. I love going to the gym now and can’t wait to spend time with my workout family. Come by PCG and I bet you feel the same. See you there….

JUDY GIZZI 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: PCG is a hidden gem right in the heart of Apex. From day one, I felt like I belonged in this gym. Shane and Brendan are the best trainers and great people. As they get to know your strengths and weaknesses, they work with you to maximize every workout so you walk out feeling great. If you’re looking for a new place to workout with a small group setting and terrific coaches, check out PCG. You won’t be disappointed. And, the music is on point!!

kellie burke 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I really enjoy going to Peak City Gym in Apex. Brendan and Shane are wonderful trainers. They are very personable and find a way to make the workouts fun! They plan each workout to effectively work the entire body in one hour. They are able to customize the workout to each person’s individual fitness level and take special care with those of us with previous injuries and limitations. I love the small group setting with others my age. I would highly recommend giving Peak City Gym a try!

Patty Clark 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I enjoy going because the guys they take their time in working out with me, they don't push me in during what you can't do, but they incourage you. They are friendly and you can meet people that are trying like you, and we incourage each other.

Sylvia Nygard 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I really like Peak City Gym. I’m an older adult and find I can do many exercises that I thought I couldn’t do. I enjoy the small classes and getting to know other individuals who exercise with me! It is personal and everyone recognizes each other. Shane and Brendan are truly amazing - they know us all and remember our limitations and abilities. Thank you, Brendan and Shane!

Kristin Lichti-Kaiser 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I tried Peak City Gym while looking for a way to reestablish a fitness routine after deprioritizing it for a few years since COVID. The programming is varied and the atmosphere is fun and supportive. The coaches are knowledgeable, encouraging, and make sure that every member is engaged and gets what they want to out their workout to meet their goals. Over the last several months at Peak City Gym, I've gotten back into a regular fitness routine that I look forward to doing and have made progress in restoring my strength and endurance. I'd highly recommend trying Peak City Gym as a place to find the motivation, engagement, and challenge to improve your fitness.

Joan August 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: This is the perfect gym for older individuals who need strength training and for younger individuals with injuries who need to be careful with weight training. Small individualized classes for a reasonable charge. Trainers are very cognizant of my needs, goals, and my physical limitations. They are very dedicated to their work and I feel very confident that they not only individualize my workout, but would never let me get hurt. This is a wonderful family business. I have seen so much improvement in my physical strength in a very short time, and have raved so much about this gym and their approach that now my son will be joining. They are fun and make me laugh and give me lots of support!

Leah Herreid 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: This gym has been an incredibly positive influence on my health. I've never been interested in going to a gym. Although I've tried with multiple memberships in past years. However, at Peak City Gym I actually look forward to going. The instructor lead classes are the perfect format for me. Just enough attention to make sure workouts are done right, while allowing each individual to modify to their needs and abilities. Feeling strong, capable, and healthy is an amazing feeling.

Jeff Tweedy 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I was looking for a gym to push my fitness goals. After joining they exceeded my expectations. Shane and Brendan are great about proper form with workouts that push you to improve your fitness with a personal touch. You feel very comfortable working out and I feel so much better. I would recommend this gym to anyone looking to improve their fitness who care about you as an individual.

Laura Helmick 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Love this place! I was nervous about getting back into a ‘gym’ but this is no gym. So much more than that! I passed out the 1st time I came in for 1on1 (15 mins into workout) and they helped me with an awesome smoothie and we sat and talked, getting to know each other and understanding where I am and what my goals are. It could have been a discouraging moment but the support and encouragement they shared and all the great workouts (stretching and strengthening while getting heart rate up) since then, makes me super excited to keep going back! Highly recommend, family owned business that truly cares.

Fantastic experience: I can say as a middle age out of shape woman and wanting to get back into fitness after 2 years, this has been the best place to join! It's very personable & non competitive, judgement free zone to work out in! Love their small group classes! The staff is always so friendly and makes everyone feel welcome.

Estelle Tsalik 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Peak City Gym is an awesome find in Apex. I had a great workout in the Ageless Athlete class. The small class made it easy for personalized form correction and modification. As a physical therapist, I love it when trainers can help people improve their functional fitness AND remain injury-free. If you're looking for a great workout, please go check out PCG. Their after workout protein smoothies are a plus too!

George Xouris 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I was reluctant to check out this gym when my wife suggested it because I had never had a good experience with gyms before. I've been on the workout roller coaster for most of my adult life....into it for a few weeks maybe a month, then falling off the wagon for a few months (or even years). I was never able to sustain the motivation because I never enjoyed it. Well, all that changed when I joined Peak City Gym. I've been going for 13 months STRAIGHT (I think my personal record was 3 consecutive months) and have never felt better in my life. I'm in the best shape of my life, I'm stronger than I've ever been, and I have so much more stamina than I've ever had before. This has helped me mentally as well as physically, and has made everyday activities that I don't normally think about, much easier, like playing with my dogs, lifting heavy things, carrying boxes up flights of stairs, etc. Shane and Brendan are both awesome trainers. They really know their stuff! Their knowledge of exercise physiology is so impressive. They also take a sincere interest in my health and progress, and always ask how I'm feeling before a workout so they can adapt it, if necessary, due to an injury, soreness, or even a bad night's sleep. As if that wasn't enough, they're very friendly and fun to be with. They also keep their gym sparkling clean, wiping down every piece of equipment after it's used. Coming here is one of the best investments I make in my life and for the first time, I actually enjoy going to a gym! I highly recommend PCG! They must be great to keep somebody like me coming back.

Fantastic experience: My husband and I have been going to Peak City for almost one year now and it has been the best decision we've ever made for our health! Both Brendan and Shane are fantastic trainers and really know how to encourage you to get the most out of your workout. We are small business owners which comes with many challenges, and going to the gym twice a week keeps us fit and ready to tackle more, both mentally and physically. I am so grateful for this place and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a small, premium gym experience!

Fantastic experience: Loving my gym experience at Peak City Gym. I've never been much of a gym person or certainly not consistent when I've tried at other gyms in the past. The small class setting is great and I love the variety. It has become a top priority to me.

Julia Allsbrook 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: If you’re looking for a gym with consistent and effective programming + knowledgeable trainers who work to meet your needs, goals and all modifications this is the gym for you. There is tremendous support and a great sense of community at peak city gym. I am challenged yet still look forward to going everyday. This gym is a gem and if you’re reading this you should try it out!!

Debra Smith 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Peak City Gym is the place for me! I’m one of the first members and I have not regretted it one bit. This is one a place that I look forward to going to every week. Anytime you go to the gym you are always greeted by one of the three trainers, two of them are brothers that own the gym (Shane and Brendan) and the other is Kelsey. For me having the trainers at every session at the gym, it ensures me that my workout is done properly. I am one of the older members at the gym. When I first went I could barely move around and I had some back issues. With the help of the trainers they have shown me ways to do a work out so that it doesn’t affect my back. I can honestly say that my back issues are in the past. This is a type of gym where it’s a family atmosphere. We all know each other and we are excited about everyone’s progression. I’ve been to many other gyms in my lifetime and I have never progressed as I have going to this gym. Even during Covid they offered classes online so that we could continue forward in our goals to a healthier living. The gym is extremely clean which is something that is very important to me If you’re looking for somewhere to go and you’re not for sure where to start I would suggest at least trying out Peak City Gym. You won’t be dissatisfied.

Leah Cyphert 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Peak City Gym is the best gym experience I've ever had. As I've gotten a little older, and my sports-related injuries have gotten more noticeable, I felt completely incapable of figuring out what to do that didn't hurt. I was never super-knowledgeable about what to do or how often to do it and the worse I felt, the less I felt capable of doing. After almost 7 weeks with Brendan and Shane, I'm experiencing less pain day-to-day while regaining a tremendous amount of lost flexibility from years of desk-sitting. I'm also having a blast. The small group settings allow me to get personal instruction as needed, while sharing the space with a few new friends. My confidence has increased tremendously and I look forward to my morning wake-up routine. I'm always greeted by name, when I walk in the door and I feel like I've joined a family instead of a gym. 10/10 would recommend.

David Sloan 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Awesome experience. Owners/Trainers are dedicated and know what they are doing. Great community of fitness minded individuals at all levels. I've been going regularly for ~9 months, and I've never felt better. I've been to a lot of gyms and worked out with a lot of fitness professionals, but Shane, Brendan, and the Peak City Gym community are the best people I have had the pleasure of training alongside! Thank you for all that you have done for me already, and I'm looking forward to even more benefits in the future.

George Buchanan 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Prior to turning 60 and while living in Virginia, I had started working out with a trainer. Two years ago I relocated to Cary and after a six month hiatus, and in the height of Covid, I found myself craving a workout. I saw a post on FB offering a free trial at a small gym in Apex. Christine and Shane signed me up on a trial and more than 18 months later I am still a member at Peak City Gym. But it is more than a membership, you become part of a family. They limited classed to 4 people, all masked during Covid. The entire gym was sanitized regularly and I think only one case of Covid was ever reported. Shane and brother Brendan along with Christine’s daughter Kelsey are trainers, and constantly work to provide quality training, tailored to meet any special circumstances. In addition they partner with local chiropractors, physical therapists and nutrition expertise to meet a broad range of member’s requirements. Two days ago I turned 64, I am in better shape than ever and when entering for a birthday workout was presented with a birthday gift, balloon and card. I am a proud member of the Peak City Gym family. I have made many new friends and thank them for keeping me at my best. If your looking for a fun, healthy environment to improve your physical and mental well being, I can’t think of a better place than Peak City Gym. I look forward to my next 64 years!

Fantastic experience: Great experience working with Shane, Brendan and team to improve strength and aerobic conditioning. Have seen dramatic improvements over the last year. But also enjoy the workouts because the Peak City Gym family makes it fun to be there!!

Fantastic experience: PCG is more than just a lifestyle. PCG is a LIFE SAVER!!! I am 64 years old, in the last 12 years I have had major neck surgery (C3-C7) and three surgeries on right shoulder. In working out with Shane I went from pain full days to nearly 100% pain FREE days. The quality of my life improvement is dramatic. What I love most about PCG is their customized approach to the individual. But mostly, they make working out so fun—one almost forgets they are working out because one is having so much fun laughing and smiling!!

Fantastic experience: I love this place! This is family-run and it feels like it. Brothers Brendon and Shane are exceptional instructors, classes are small, and they always offer useful feedback about proper form and lots of encouragement! The exercise sequences are well-thought out so you work all the muscle groups without overdoing it. It’s a wonderful change from the big health clubs that cram people in and move them out. Peak City sometimes offers a free trial so you can try a few classes out with NO PRESSURE, no hard sells. They really want it to be a good fit. If you’ve been thinking about shedding the Covid blues, one question:What are you waiting for? I am so glad I took advantage of the free trial. I am now a happy member of Peak City Gym!

Fantastic experience: Let’s face it. There comes a time in our lives when you begin to feel aches and pains in our backs, knees, etc. a little more than we are used to. The usual reaction to this is usually “ oh well, can’t workout anymore”. Peak City throws out that mindset with tailored workouts to accommodate these new “nuances”. Shane and Brendan are incredibly knowledgeable and understand that everyone has different needs/goals. At 52 years old, I don’t think I have felt this good in a very long time. There are no judgments, only support and most importantly a ton of fun! I consider it an extended family. You will not be disappointed. (The peanut butter protein smoothie is amazing!)

Fantastic experience: PCG is my new home away from home. Everyone is so inviting, helpful and encouraging. I appreciate Shane, Brenden and Kelsey for aways making sure you're in proper form even if you’re not in a group setting. I joined at 65 to gain strength, balance and flexibility. I love the semi private classes where accountability is paramount. I even actually enjoy getting up very early to go which I initially thought would be a problem. I highly recommend PCG!

Linda Crandall 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I am in my third month of personal training, and can really see and feel the difference. I’ve lost about 12 or so pounds and my problem knee is slowly getting stronger. The close-knit atmosphere at the facility is calming, upbeat and welcoming, and a nice way to work out, differentiating it from other local gyms and franchises.

Fantastic experience: This is probably one of the best gyms I've ever been a part of. They make you feel like family. They focus on fitness as you get older, strength training and such - helping you move the right way. There's no judgement from the trainers or even other members for asking for modifications or even just taking a break. When I started here back in April 2021, I had major back issues that normal gym work would exacerbate. These guys made sure to modify the exercises for me so that wouldn't be the case. Between that and the Physical Therapist they recommended, I was able to do exercises freely, without pain within a couple of months. While you do have to be the one to put in the work when going to a gym, the trainers genuine care and knowledge help give you the confidence to push yourself to do more than you ever thought you could. Not to mention their smoothies you can get after class make it worth it! :)

Julie Leierzapf 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: When I joined Peak City Gym, I was anxious because I had not exercised in many years. I was worried I would be unable to perform the exercises and would feel embarrassed. I pushed through my fears, and I am so glad I did! Owners Shane and Brendan are knowledgeable, encouraging and entertaining. They made me feel comfortable and provided accommodations to any exercise when necessary. The workouts are presented with progressions to fit all fitness levels. Plus, there is a wide range of "ageless athletes" so I never felt embarrassed by my initial limitations. The semi private classes (4 to 1) make me accountable to show up consistently. In a few months, I already feel stronger, have fewer aches and pains, and can see muscles that I haven't seen in a long time. Honestly, I enjoy going to the gym - and I have NEVER felt that way. It is 100% the best thing I have ever done for ME!

Cari 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: My time at Peak City Gym has been challenging, rewarding, fun and most importantly a great fit! I've been able to find the small group workout setting that gets me motivated to go the gym. I'm not overwhelmed by the feeling of not knowing what to do and not overlooked in a group environment. Brendan and Shane do an amazing job at giving people the one-on-one while working out with others. I feel great at the end of every session and leave knowing I got a overall great workout in an hour. However, group workouts are not the only thing Peak City Gym provides - there's more that can fit your needs and wants. Honestly, amazing trainers and great members to share the gym with!

Omar Ali 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Peak City Gym combines expert instruction, challenging workouts, small class sizes (4:1 participant to instructor ratio), with a laid back culture to be the grand slam of gyms in the Triangle. They’ve also got solid smoothies, 90’s-ish music, good jokes, and 1:1 instruction if you want it too (’m learning the overhead snatch right now). Awesome value, just do it!

Kinjal Mehta 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: A great place to workout with a very warm and welcoming community. The trainers really know what they are doing ! A definite recommend!

Jessie Johnson 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have worked with the owners of this gym in a professional capacity and I'm pleased to say they are very caring and detail-oriented when it comes to their clients. They go the extra mile and provide a terrific service to over-40 folks looking to get/stay fit.

amera gaballa 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I am late in writing this review because I really wanted to take the time and post a review that Shane and Brendan truly deserve. For me, working out is a sacred routine that brings me immense joy physically emotionally and mentally, therefore my choice of where I workout and my trainers must me exceptional as I refuse to live a life of mediocrity and I only go for the best. I tried at least 8 or 9 different gyms closer to where I live but I couldn’t find anything close to the quality of Peak City Gym. I gladly travel about 35 minutes to get to the gym because I know I am getting stronger every day and getting closer to my goals. They are kind, funny, extremely knowledgeable in their field and have incredible energy. I will end this review with some quotes from some of my heroes hoping that it will motivate you to give Peak City Gym a try. Life has no limitations except the ones YOU MAKE.(Les Brown). He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life ( Mohammed Ali) If you do what is hard, your life will be easy(Les Brown) and lastly, You owe it to yourself to reach higher and manifest your greatness( Les Brown) See you at Peak City Gym !!!

Fantastic experience: I can't imagine a better way to support a local business than to get my workout done at Peak City Gym! The atmosphere is fun, professional and I absolutely love that is family run. I feel part of a family and enjoy every workout. It is my time to decompress, take care of my health (can we say busy mom?) and make wonderful friends along the way! Go check it out, you will not regret making this investment in your physical and mental health !

Isita Abad 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: This gym is more than a gym! This place is a home because since the first time you walk there you feel a cool energy . Starting from Wendy who always welcomes you with a smile on her lips, and then Shane and Brandon, the guys who motivate you, help you and challenge you to develop and believe in your strength! they put all their experience and professionalism so that the work out is executed in the best way. For me, peak city gym is a unique place where you not only train but where you find a family, a place to grow and be better every day. Thanks a lot!!

Tatyana Albinder 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I love this gym! The Rabideau clan takes a family owned business to a whole new level by making us, the clients, feel like family. The place is very clean, well organized, and friendly. I am pretty demanding when it comes to quality of training and Shane and Brendan don’t disappoint. I feel challenged consistently and see the results. I find myself waiting for my gym day! Praying for continued success of this business and this family!

Summer&Dave Traxler 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Waking up for a 6am workout is easy peasy when I know I'll be greeted with a friendly, non-judgmental environment when I arrive. Both Shane and Brendan are very knowledgeable and able to give me all the modifications during the workouts that my mom (of 5!) body needs. The gym is always very clean and has plenty of space to workout during the semi-private classes. I've definitely found the gym that is the right fit for me.

Fantastic experience: Great community atmosphere! Only been going for a couple of months and I am seeing results! I couldn’t touch my toes before I started, now my flexibility has increased and I can touch the floor easily. Plus Saturday morning skipping brings back childhood memories.

Fantastic experience: Amazing place! Personal and customized training. Work one on one, showing how to use the equipment without hiring myself. For some one that didn’t know Much training or weights, Shane and Brendan spend time in showing me everything step by step. Super patience and I enjoy the skipping that Brendan makes me do on boot camp class! they are best! Give them a try!

Fantastic experience: Awesome trainers who really care about their clients as people. Their focus is to help you achieve your goals and live a better life. As a Physical Therapist, I appreciate how much they focus on good form and technique, and truly want whats best for their clients. I highly recommend Shane and Brendan!

Elaine Boyle (Commercial Properties) 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Peak City Gym offers customized programs based on your fitness needs by experienced professionals. They are also a lot of fun to be around and the gym atmosphere is perfect.

BryanandAdrienne Gross 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Peak City Gym truly is my home away from home. I knew Brendan and Shane from a former gym where I was formerly a member, but during COVID when I saw that they’d branched out on their own to start a family feeling, supportive, safe and well-equipped gym that allowed me a place to maintain my health and fitness goals during a time when so many gyms were shutting down, I knew it was the right decision to join their gym family. PCG is a place I can escape to, where I can focus on myself for one hour a day, where clean equipment, smiles, and yummy smoothies are always waiting for me. I love PCG.

Lois Kurtz 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I came from a very large gym where "small" group classes could be 10 to 20 people. Corrections on form were almost never given since the class was so large. At Peak City Gym, the small group classes are no more than 4 people. It's like having a personal trainer all the time. Warm and inviting atmosphere and it's great getting to know everyone. I highly recommend this gym! Run.. don't walk here! They are doing an amazing job with social distancing and cleaning. Very safe atmosphere during the pandemic. Outdoor classes are so much fun. All the people... clients and staff are amazing!

Susan Fellows 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: If you are looking to become part of a community and not just being a number on a machine then you need to check them out. Brendan and Shane (owners/trainers) make this a comfortable and fun place to workout. They tailor everything to your level. They have small group classes so you get one on one type attention everytime you work out.

Paula Pecore 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I’m so happy to have found this gym right when it opened. After relocating to NC in 2019, I was longing for a gym family that was devoted to strengthen training, a family atmosphere where you actually got to know the trainers and no crowds. Peak City Gym is that place. The focus on quality over quantity is so important and that is the focus here. Quality people, quality trainers, quality equipment, and quality form on quality exercises. And I have to give a huge shout out on the awesome post workout smoothies with a motivational message hand written on it! Peak City Gym is exactly what I was looking for.

Courtney Mickel 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I’m in love with this place!! I was feeling self-conscious in a large local gym so I just stopped going last year. I’m so blessed to have found this place!! It’s owned and operated by two brothers who amazing coaches! First and foremost they’re great with form in lifting and exercises to keep you safe and injury free! The facility is well equipped and very clean! They offer different levels of programming, and their small group format allows you to modify further for your needs. There’s also open gym time for you to do your own programming! I’ve lost inches and pounds while gaining strength and confidence here!!

I can not endorse them enough, they have revolutionized the way I workout and and I fully recommend everyone of my friends, family, and patients to work out here! Ryan Arias, D.O.

Fantastic experience: I love the atmosphere at Peak City Gym. It’s immediately welcoming. The facility is well equipped and clean, and the staff really cares about you and your goals. They offer different levels of programming, and their small group format allows you to modify further for your needs. Great gym. Apex peeps should check it out.

Edgar Alvarez 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great facility, excellent trainers, welcoming environment. Small classes allows trainers to focus on clients. Training philosophy is really for every skill level- it allows clients to regress or progress the level of workout so everyone gets the best workout possible based on their individual needs - all made possible by the low client to trainer ratio. I feel energized when I leave vs exhausted. Finally, the sense of community at this gym is unlike anything I have experienced before. They truly care about everyone and foster a very welcoming environment which makes working out fun and builds accountability with its clients.

Meredith Manz 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Kudos to Brendan and Shane for making their dream become a reality with Peak City Gym! As trainers Brendan, Shane and Alysa are all very professional, experienced, innovative and sensitive to your health situation and capabilities. The trainers all work with you at your individual level and help to modify as needed whether it’s 1-1 personal training or small group training. The location is perfect and facility is extremely clean, organized and vibrant. The environment is very open, inviting and motivating. These guys have the winning formula!

Amy Hilliard 5 years ago

kate clements 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: While this gym just recently opened, it’s very obvious the trainers care and want you to succeed. Classes are actually a small group (no more than 4) and are tailored to where you are in your fitness journey. Personal training and solo workouts are also options. Monthly check-ins are recommended each month to re-evaluate your fitness needs and accomplishments. I look forward to working with everyone here to meet my fitness goals!
