I can't understand the way these reviewers have dissed this gym. No, I haven't had any billing issues, I admit, but they didn't give any of the positives. Friendly employees who know you by name, a...

Cheap, usually plenty of machines. Often filled with meatheads and usually smells like feet. The joint is a veritable petri dish, but membership includes yoga classes and only one of the instructors...

God-awful. It's not worth it to join, I promise you. You'll pay more in the end than you would have had you joined a nicer gym. No gym should be roping people into long-term contracts, and the other gyms in...

I originally enrolled at Carolina Fitness for free due to a contract between the gym and my apartment complex. After management changed at my apartment complex, the contract was broken and we had to...

I can not believe this establishment is still open. I agree with the rest of the reviewers, the owners are scam artist. When the owners and other employees have to resort to selling gym memberships in bars,...

I don't know anything about the problems some people seem to have with canceling, but I paid upfront for a year and a half and got a great deal of about $23/month. I guess if you are the type who constantly...

This is probably the lowest quality of gym I have joined but with that all my other gyms have been over the top fancy and had a lot of services and items I never used or quite frankly needed. I def paid the...

I have been a member for over 10 years and the fitness center has changed drastically since the new owners took over. Carolina Fitness looks sooo much better, they keep the equipment up, and keep everything...

I have been a member for about 3 years, since I moved to Carrboro within walking distance of the gym. Totally different experience from my former gym, which was brand new, high-priced, and beautiful--but...

There are more reasons NOT to join than to join...There are 6 TVs in the area that has the treadmills. Then one broke (over a year ago). Then another one went (that was over six months ago). Then the third one...

These people are crooks! Do not sign a contract with them - they will not stop drafting your bank account even after your contract expires and you cancel. And the bit about being able to cancel if you...

I've been a member of this gym for over 6 years now. I pay 2 years at a time, as does my wife, always the same price: a little over $400 for 2 years, which is about $17 a month, with childcare and all the...

I wanted to join my local gym for a few months after an injury that kept me off my bike. I was pleasantly surprised (and, I see now, very naive) that an employee so willingly agreed, saying I had only to...

Don't believe anything that anyone who works there tells you. Believe in the fine print as that is what you will be held to (no matter what anyone says otherwise). Believe that human compassion does not exist....

Carolina Fitness is in a good location and has convenient parking. The main benefit is the availability of equipment and machines and flexible hours. If you are willing to commit for a couple of years, you...

The high schoolers that work at the desk at Carolina Fitness are cute and know nothing. The people that patronize Carolina Fitness are colorful and friendly. The machines are reasonable, classes good, not too...

Equipment was always broken. Good luck finding a treadmill that works. Childcare was hit or miss and the childcare room was filthy. Nevermind the childcare workers don't speak english. Then there is the staff....

Equipment was OK - pretty bare bones, but workable. Yoga class was top notch and had a loyal following. This gym will work out for you OK if you never plan to cancel your membership. Have been round and round...

Yes, the equipment is often broken and the place is kind of gross in general, but the real trouble starts when you try to cancel your membership. It is suppose to be a 30-day cancellation process (I was moving...

I have been going to this gym for over 10 years. Started when it was Gold's Gym. It has definitely had some bad moments, but currently the owners are great, and the equipment is in good repair. The Body Pump,...

Unfortunately, most of the equipment has remained broken - even after numerous postings on here and the promises of the staff relating that a fix was coming. The showers are generally spot cleaned, but...

I re-joined recently after leaving in disgust a few years ago (when it was AC Fitness and filthy beyond belief). It's a LOT nicer now, cleaner, low rate of non-working machines, etc. And I haven't noticed any...
