About Us

RTP Fitness is a 35- year old fitness club and gym located in RTP. We are the oldest health club in the area and we’ve seen a lot of clubs come and go. We are not a “big box” corporate chain club or a cookie-cutter franchise that treats you like a number. We are a family-owned and operated fitness club and when you walk through our doors we  know your name and we’re glad to see you- think of us as the “Cheers” of the fitness clubs.

Our 11,000 square foot facility is fully-equipped with some of the best free weight, cardio, and resistance machines  in the area. Our members range from former NFL players to young professionals to single moms to college students to tanning enthusiasts to RTP professionals to competitive lifters to retirees- and what they all share in common is a desire to be in a place that’s serious about health and fitness, that has the best equipment at the best price, and where everybody knows your name.

So, if you’re looking for a place with lots of fancy furniture and amenities (and the fancy prices that go along with it!), we’re probably not the place for you. If you’re looking for a place that’s serious about fitness and has the best people, prices and value, you should drop by and pay us a visit…

- The best-equipped free weight area in the Triangle

– Body Master machines

– Treadmills
– Bicycles

- Personal Training (Group and Individual) with some of the most qualified and experienced Trainers in the area- our Trainers average 8+ years experience
