Archetype Strength

I’ve had an amazing experience at Archetype Strength. The coaching, atmosphere, equipment, and community are all top tier. Everyone is welcoming, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping members improve and reach their goals. It’s one of the best gym environments I’ve ever been a part of. The only reason I’m canceling my membership is because there isn’t a location in Charlotte. If there ever is one, I’d sign back up immediately. Highly recommend this gym to anyone looking for a serious but supportive place to train!

I was in Raleigh for a business trip and used this gym a few times and thought it was awesome! Not the normal commercial gym feel, very purpose driven and straight forward. Never crowded any of the times I went. Equipment was in great shape, clean, and plentiful. Would highly recommend to anyone in the area.

Love this place! I always feel safe here and some of the equipment (pendulum squat machine, I’m talking about you), has been difficult to find elsewhere. Between the 24 hour business model and a lot of the machines and atmosphere (everyone is pretty nice here), I’d say that I’ve found my long term gym home! Keep up the great work Archetype!

The Gym is Phenomenal. Great staff, Great equipment, and I rarely every have to wait for machines whenever I go workout, and that is usually at 5:00pm. You can't really beat the price, any other gym performing at this level is charging a much higher price per month, if not double. 10/10 would recommend. with 3 locations you will never get bored of the environment. East Raleigh is by far the coolest.

“To be hand held” “The program was a success for those who followed it” A lot of people have personal trainers at this gym so the first statement is very concerning for a gym Owner. I entered in a summer shred program ($300 // $99 a month not including the other $70 a month just to train open gym) where I was UNDER the impression by the phone call prior to joining and agreeing that we would be meeting through the week, training as a group, or even with our trainer. Which never really happened except weigh outs on a weekend and talking, “I’ll be X and Y if you need me”. Then when it’s brought to the attention to the owner, now it’s switched up to just being told what to do as if you couldn’t ask other trainers in the gym there for that for free. I went ahead and found a legit trainer outside of this gym and had 0 issues with my growth and commitment / communication for lower the price. The owner doesn’t handle criticism very well, and ASSUMING I didn’t follow up on this “program” was a big yikes considering I still did my dieting and actually hit my weight goal for bulking (I’m a very petite person and very very high metabolism) and cut and still making sure I was hitting workouts and weights whether there or another gym. I will say they were patient with my payment part (life happens ig), I had fell ill for 2-3 weeks and was out of work. I communicated on my end especially when I had fallen behind on some stuff. Definitely felt scammed and then disrespected by the owner for speaking up about this. Especially when I wasn’t rude I was just expressing that it was disappointing for what I paid for …. I was going to leave at least a 3-4 star until his side remarks shown below to be honest.
