REX Wellness Center of Raleigh

Positive experience: I dropped my rating bc the sauna. 50% chance it’s below 100°F, takes forever to warm up, desk staff doesn’t even know what to say when you tell them the sauna is cold. “It’s on and I’ll let the staff know” is getting really old when I show up to a “COLD SAUNA”. THE ONLY GYM ON EARTH without HIP Abduction/Adduction machines. Cancelling soon because I can sweat quicker in my car.

Fantastic experience: I love the instructor, Sonia, Bet and Kimberly

Positive experience: Come here for the sauna but most times it’s disappointing. Temperature is not monitored consistently by the front desk. Most visits I have to ask the front desk attendant to re-set the timer.

Fantastic experience: I'm 32 and was worried about the older population but honestly I love it lol it's way less crowded than other gyms, got all the equipment I'd need and I utilize all the extras (sauna, steam room and pool). There is hardly anyone ever in the sauna or steam rooms which is nice, I'm able to really relax. You have to reserve a lane for the pool which opens a week in advance, I haven't had trouble getting the day I wanted but may have to be flexible on time if waited until the day or so before. There is a few others around my age but every now and then I'll get a 70+ yr old looking at me like what are you doing here haha but majority of people are super nice. I also work at Rex hospital so the $20 discount was also a plus. I don't care for the classes but I see them going on a good bit. You can also go to other Rex centers (one in Cary and one in Knightdale) I haven't been yet but excited too because they are supposedly nicer/ newer. All in all this place works perfect for my needs!

Fantastic experience: My favorite place to exercise.

Fantastic experience: The staff is so great. Love that it has a variety of equipment, indoor track, pool, sauna, and hot tub all in one place. Good environment that is non-judgmental and nice.

Fantastic experience: I Love Everything

Fantastic experience: Go to spot for a good workout... They have a sauna..steamroom plenty of gym equipment..pool etc

Positive experience: Usually not crowded. Reasonable amount of equipment, although generally one of each nautilus style weight machine. They have numerous styles of treadmill and bike machines and multiples of each. Has a pool and other pay for in addition to membership programs.

Fantastic experience: Great gym great facility and never crowded.. Also great value

Positive experience: I wanted to love this place as it has everything we're looking for. A bit dated but otherwise really nice. Great location and easy parking Problem is that the clientele is older and that's not the motivating factor we need when working out. If you are retired, this is an excellent place for you.

Fantastic experience: Met with Chip to set up a plan for the best exercise program for me to accomplish my goals, I’m looking forward to trying to reach my goals

Negative experience: Extremely unprofessional and un inviting. If not for the convenience of the location I would find somewhere else to workout.

Fantastic experience: Excellent staff and facilities. Love it!

Fantastic experience: The ENTIRE NCICU staff @ at Rex Wellness is second to none! Every person on every shift was caring, empathetic and truly loves their patients and family of the patient. I have been to this unit several times with mom. I cannot say enough good things about this group! Our latest stay was 11 days so we met alot of staff in that time. My mom and entire family thank you for the exceptional care given to my mom. Thank you for what you do!

Fantastic experience: Excellent care and compassion with the medical staff. However the people at the front door are NOT very helpful or friendly! The hospital is very hard to find your way around and good luck getting any directions from the front desk.

Fantastic experience: I love Rex Wellness.

Fantastic experience: We saw our Duke Specialist here rather than going to Chapel Hill. The location was not hard to find for those coming in from out of town. The staff were all friendly and professional. A good place to go for medical services

Fantastic experience: Great place with staff

Fantastic experience: Fantastic Massage!

Negative experience: Terrible business, they charge you on random days and throw your personal belongings away. Steve and Beth are both horrible management. Steve literally will laugh at any concern you have. And there’s no contact for corporate as it’s a hospital.

Fantastic experience: Good therapy

Positive experience: Meh. It doesn't seem worth the price of membership. I chose this location because it's difficult to find a sauna in Raleigh and I love to swim. The condition of the facilities was less than ideal, dirty and desperately needed upgrades 20+ years ago. I couldn't get myself to go into the locker room anymore it was so bad. Will reconsider if they ever upgrade.

Positive experience: I had an excellent tour of the facilities and the price isn't too bad. I just wish the facilities and equipment were more up to date.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful pool. Fun spin class. Unfortunately REX is planning on tearing this beautiful facility down for a surgical center. Think again Rex!

Fantastic experience: Nice friendly informative staff

Fantastic experience: I especially like Sonya who teaches water aerobics!

Fantastic experience: Great place.

Fantastic experience: Great facilities. Excellent staff.

Fantastic experience: Been a member since 2015, and not one complaint!!!

Fantastic experience: They take good care of their patients

Negative experience: This company is a scam and a fraud I wouldn't recommend doing business with them to my enemies Rex wellness

Negative experience: I honestly used to love REX but recently after my insurance changed they have been treating me differently. I used to have private insurance and they had the best quality of care. After I changed my insurance and got something off the marketplace with a lower income insurance it’s like they don’t give as much care. ESPECIALLY after they see your medical insurance card. So unless you have private insurance and have the extra money to spend on your appointments ...I would suggest trying somewhere else.

Fantastic experience: Very clean. Super friendly staff. I haven't tried any classes yet but I plan too soon!

Positive experience: Great pool area, but shower was not clean

Fantastic experience: It was great

Fantastic experience: I am part of the cardio maintenance program. This is one of the best things I have ever done for myself. The staff are absolutely terrific and caring.

Fantastic experience: Great place for fitness

Fantastic experience: I've been a member for 24+ years. The entire staff exceed expectations.

Fantastic experience: Great Gym and Wet Area!

Fantastic experience: Clean and well maintained.

Fantastic experience: This is where I go to meditate and take care of my body on a daily basis pretty much

Fantastic experience: Saved my life !

Fantastic experience: Good doctors and staff.

Fantastic experience: Everyone was so nice and helpful !! Very clean !

Fantastic experience: Everyone seems sincerely concerned about you. They are efficient and try to cover all bases when assessing your needs.

Fantastic experience: I like this location. The gym is cool and i love that its in a wellness center and not a stereotypical "gym". Plenty of exercise equipment. You can do practically any workout there except boxing. The staff is very friendly. I plan to take advantage of more of their offeribgs like yoga, swimming, massage.

Positive experience: Exercise without shame

Positive experience: Great gym, esp if you don't like the typical gym atmosphere. Very laid-back, older crowd. Everybody does their own thing. It has a pool. It's a little expensive but worth it.

Positive experience: Extremely nice staff. Good and modern equipment. Need a tradtional leg press machine and perhaps a few stairmasters. Locker room is nice. Parking is easy and never an issue. Towel service is nice. Steam room and saunas are shut down when it thunders but this could be corrected by having them located inside the locker room like the YMCA or FItness connection does it. Location is ideal as its right off the beltline. I would give it an A minus.

Fantastic experience: Nice and clean and friendly

Fantastic experience: Not a muscle gym

Fantastic experience: Great place to work out. Nice facility and equipment. Very helpful and friendly staff. Highly recommend!!!

Fantastic experience: A great place to work out. Especially for retirees and those who can exercise during the day. A great selection of aerobic and weight machines, plus plenty of free weights, core devices and stretching equipment.

Fantastic experience: Clean, helpful and supportive facility and environment

Positive experience: Being the oldest of the Wellness Centers it really needs a rebuild. The pool is small, but manageable. The locker room it great and the upgrades are very nice. Parking can be a pain at times. You can come in the back side of Rex to get to it.

Fantastic experience: Friendly, knowledgeable staff; great group of regulars; rarely crowded.

Positive experience: The 2nd floor never seems to be vacuumed so dirt, hair etc. always collects in the area that one is trying to workout in. When I ask the people who work their they claim it will be taken care of it but it Never happens! Hopefully one day someone will claim responsibility for cleaning the 2nd floor.

Fantastic experience: a member for 10+ years...I like it and what it has to offer..No complaints

Negative experience: They simply refuse to upgrade to what a wellness center should have, such as the Wakefield center, i.e. a larger pool that has some part at 6 feet, and a true therapy pool at 89-90 degrees. I always think of joining but when I see the old pool and no therapy pool I realize they will never spend the money to upgrade. I also cannot figure out why they can't have a small warm room with a few therapy tables, since 90 percent of all therapy exercises are on a table. In the end money is the focus, not wellness.
