Staff is usually friendly and the facility is always clean. And I love how they have so many different types of equipment to use. The pool feels so good on hot days and the hot tub feels even better when you have a sore back

I highly recommend this location for physical therapy. Evan is wonderful. I am doing so much better since starting there and the exercises he has given me to do at home are spot on.

I have been a patron of this place as a member and guest. Guest now since I now live in GA. On this vacation I visited this place many times but on New Years Eve, apparently the power hungry lady would not let me in because of a new policy of needing someone to escort me in. Give me a break. Its not like I am trying to get into an exclusive establishment. Just going in for a workout.On thing this COVID has done is to give these power hungry low lives who man the front desks to determine who gets in and what whimsical policy they want to enforce. They are like the soup Nazis without the soup but all Bull.Too bad such a nice establishment is marred by brainless employees.

Since ‘07 I’ve been a member of UNC Wellness.When the pool reopened during COVID-19, I decided to give it a go. Bad idea. The staff is very friendly and helpful. However, if you are concerned with social distancing and masks, this is not your place. Too many women in locker room with no masks. Employees congregating at front desk, shoulder to shoulder no room for me to ask a question or return the towel.

Unc wellness center In West Cary is centrally locates and well maintained for the most part.Pros: rock wall!!! Kids love it. Friendly staff to help the kids and a fun activity during the week.Running track and equipment - a big thumbs up!!!Outdoor turf - great space for kids to play ball.Cons: class hours and space is limited.The pool area...Let me start by saying we have been there almost every single day last fall. However, the maintenance around the pool area needs attention. Rules are not always enforced and followed. Floor is somewhat yucky around the pool - depending on what time of the day you are there. A little attention to the pool area would make this facility 5Star!!Shout out to all the great people who work and support the members daily!

Good place and environment. Basketball court is a bit small especially for the membership fee, however the place is overall a wonderful gym. The pool more than makes up for any flaw!

Great team of staff who showed sincere care for every patient that they interact with. I was there for 6 weeks, and everyone call me by name all the time. From the moment Im checking in to the various individuals that worked me. Of course technology has a part to play, and even though I was seen by about 4 different individuals, they all knew who I last saw and they followed up with what I last worked on.

Very clean facilities, weight room is pretty empty during non-peak hours. Great place to lift weights and do cardio. They have a sauna as well

I have enjoyed UNC Wellness for a number of years now. It is light, bright, very clean and well staffed. Equipment is working and is top quality. Lots of classes and amenities. Highly recommended.

Very clean and well set up. Lovely staff! Kid-friendly!!! Classes are led by friendly and helpful people with great attitudes. This place provides a calm and peaceful atmosphere when not overcrowded. Great place to be.

Ive been a member of other big gyms in the area but UNC Wellness is by far the best. Equipment and facilities are well cared for, and always clean. Ive paid double the fee monthly for me and my son other places. I also appreciate that I come here and never feel like Im in a club and can work out with friendly folks in peace and not be hit on. Truth.

Beautiful gym, great locker rooms--not as inconvenient from SW Durham as name NW Cary would imply. I love the pool has a deep end and a big window which makes it very pleasant to swim in the late afternoon. A plus or minus (depending on perspective) is that the pool always seems to be packed with kids--even on school nights. The Meadowmont Wellness Center pool is not as nice as NW Cary but it is a lot quieter on week nights.

Love this facility. I always find the machine of my choice available as they have plenty of equipment, upstairs and down. Everyone who works here is friendly and helpful - from the front desk staff, to the cleaning ladies, to the life guards and the massage therapists. Speaking of massage therapists - see Michelle. She was amazing and worked some kinks out of my back that Id been suffering from for weeks. Love the pool, hot tub and sauna room as well. Still need to try the rock climbing wall, but its on my list. They also offer a large variety of classes of all kinds. Love their yoga and meditation instructors, especially Sam. Totally worth the cost.

I love this gym. Great pool. Excellent classes including TRX. Non pretentious members, personal trainers are excellent who do not pressure you for more classes. The best part: this place is not a meat market. Just a great gym.

I really like this place. The staff are friendly and personable and the facility is clean! The sign up process took me 5 minutes and they have a great monthly rate for a place that has a sauna, whirlpool, climbing wall, pool, etc.

Awesome gym facility. A bit expensive but guess you pay more to enjoy all the benefits - well maintained equipments, nice inner walking area, group classes, sauna, swimming pool... basketball play area, outdoor field and yes.... ample parking which gets crowded during evening 😉😉.

Wall-climbing a time waste..I have been doing wall climbing for over a year and never frustrated like today. I was waiting at #1 spot and staff was chit-chatting with no attitude to get me on wall. After 15 mins they just prepared to close while I was siting there. They did not even care to apologize, if this at my work place they would have been fired the same day.Complained to Marlowe (manager) but he wanted to discuss with the Director which is another setback, why cant he call those staff while I was in his office and tell to apologize or even ask what happened.

Best gym in the area. You cannot beat having the sauna and the large indoor pool. Equipment is great, staff are friendly. Got a couple of trainers that give you grumpy face but maybe thats just their resting face. I like that I can keep to myself and not be bothered. Only real complaints are that a pilates class would be nice, the showers could be cleaner (Scrub the floors), hot water runs out too often, and you need bigger towels. Lets get real for a second, even the fittest person, doesnt always fit in your one-size-fits-all towel size. Different body types would appreciate different sizes. Overall, this gym is the bees knees and I will forever be a loyal member, even if I dont go as often as Id like!

Review №29

Update:Used to be good a year ago but now its bad.sauna room is always crowded.one of my friends bag went missing one day..the staff are unprofessional Interpreting and implementing their own rules.. they dont want to keep the kids in child care room without appointments even if it is 2-3 kids only present and want you to call and take appointment every day. Well then give me appointment for everyday from 6-8pm. I dont want to call everyday to take appointment.Some of their staff thinks that kid supervision means holding your kids hand throughout the gym and your eyes should not be anywhere else even for few secs. My kid is not baby. He is 6+ yrs old 4 feet tall.

This review is for the physical therapy center only. If you are looking for PT, I would stay away, unless you enjoy paying 4x the cost of other locations. Both times I went, were for preventative care and it cost over $500. My suggestion would be to go to Strive Physical Therapy on Davis Drive for a more cost effective solution and to stay away from this location.

I really like the cleanliness of the facility. The track, weights, pool, and rock wall are great for bringing children and getting them involved.

Review №33

A very small and limited strength training area. The gym itself has a weird lack of energy. The group fitness classes are average. The price tag is the highest in the area at $70 per month!I drive an extra 10 minutes into Apex to go to a place that has a lot more equipment, better classes and is less money!

Review №34

My kids love the rock wall (ages 4+) and so do I. UNC Wellness also has the nicest pool in the area for lap swimming. Overall, it is a clean, friendly facility that is worth the premium price. Towels are provided. There a number of classes (including some for kids!), and you can view them by going to the website and looking at the programs calendar.

Review №37

The lack of energy/drive in this place is crazy! If I didnt have my headphones on.. it would for sure be nap time in there 😕 It is the priciest (or one of) gyms in the area..so yeah, its good. Cardio area is good, weight training area is severely lacking, pool is ok. Front desk staff is hit or miss (except colleen, she is always amazing). If you dont see yourself going 5x a week and using every single aspect of that gym...its not worth your money.

Review №45

The pool and locker rooms are always very clean and staff is friendly. When I first joined I did the orientation and met with the dietician. The orientation was very good, thorough within the time permitted and they offered another session if I didnt feel I covered enough machines. The dietician was very knowledgeable and have helpful suggestions. They did not do a hard sell on fee based services.

Review №47

The center is quite close to my house and I was initially hesitant to join because they allow kids to use the center. I just wasnt sure how that would work out. After my one month trial, I saw that it was not an issue for me at all. The memberships have since gone month-to-month for everyone so no risk if you dont like it. Its pricier than other gyms around, but its worth it to me. This has got to be the cleanest gym Ive ever worked out at! They really do a good job with class diversity, workshops, and providing good training and support. Staff are always friendly and look like they enjoy working here.

Best place to work out in the triangle. Top-notch equipment and plenty of space to stretch and work on core both upstairs and downstairs. Very clean facility, friendly staff, and lots of free classes that are led by great instructors. I highly recommend the TRX classes. Not too overcrowded, even during peak hours.With the large indoor pool, climbing wall, outdoor turf field, strength and cardio equipment, indoor track, child care, and extensive selection of classes, I highly recommend UNC Wellness Center at NW Cary. Ive tried gyms and fitness centers all over the Triangle, and this one remains the best value for my money by far.

CLEANEST full-sized gym/pool/fitness in the triangle! Great staff. Ive worked out in TONS of gyms in the area since 1996. Many if not most of those gyms dont even exist anymore. This place is fantastic. The only thing I wish they had is racquet ball court.

Great gym! Plenty of really nice equipment for cardio or strength training, some really good classes, nice clean facilities and friendly staff. If you like to lift weights: there are 2 squat racks, 2 bench press, a smith machine, a bunch of free weights, kettlebells some regular cable machines, and fancy FreeMotion equipment. Many treadmills, ellipticals, some cybex arc trainers, and a good number of stairclimbers. If I had my wish they would have more squat racks. I would also like to see more variety in their classes, as a lot of the ones in the evening seem dance-oriented. Cycle is great but you have to get there very early to get a spot. They need a bigger cycle studio.
