I have thoroughly enjoyed joining Bucked Up Fitness. I just relocated from Connecticut and have been a gym member for over 20 years.

Your equipment is great, cleanliness is great and everyone I have encountered that work there has been great, especially Jacob

Thanks

The people at the front desk are always nice to help when you have any questions. All of the equipment is in great condition and there is quite the variety to choose from. I enjoy Bucked Up because I can tell the people that go there are serious about improving their fitness. It’s a great infectious energy to be around especially when you’re there to better yourself like everyone else.

Visited from out of town — pretty cool spot. Lots of space, a sweet recovery room setup, and locker rooms big enough you’ll get lost. The place is outfitted with a ton of Arsenal equipment, which is awesome, but the plate situation leaves a lot to be desired. They’re all mismatched and each bench/rack isn’t outfitted with complete sets. Very surprising given they’re outfitted with Arsenal.

This gym is definitely maintained at high standards. The main gym floor is constantly well maintained, the aesthetics are THERE , & PLENTY of options when it comes to equipments , even machines I’ve never seen . They continue to enhance the facility every moment they can , so don’t sleep on this gym because I promise you other gyms in Raleigh already slept on yall 🤧🥹🥴

We have tried cancelling our membership for over 3 months and we keep getting the run around. We called many times and you will get lucky if they actually answer. When they do answer they tell you you have to physically come in to cancel. Great… what if I moved across the country…. Fine whatever we stopped by and signed the paperwork to cancel the contract. Told us one last payment had to come out… whatever… the month AFTER the last payment they charged us AGAIN… called and the manager was the only one that could help us and to our “surprise” they weren’t available that they would call us back. They hardly ever call back. It’s month 4 and we are currently still try to cancel. At this point it’s just feels like stealing. It looks like a really cool gym but because of this experience I will never recommend anyone to here. Lifetime is close to there and that has been a great gym by far less expensive and has child care.

I had a wonderful experience at Bucked Up Fitness in Cary. Great natural lighting and a great selection of machines. Andrew was working the front desk and was extremely helpful. He hooked it up with getting us started as efficiently as possible and some pre to top it off. Not only is there a great free weight section, they have tons of amenities and other lifting sections upstairs as well. They have a recovery section and their locker room was immaculately clean.

I was initially excited to join this gym because of its convenient location and modern equipment. However, after a few weeks, it's clear that the day-to-day operations are a mess. The layout is chaotic, with weights and equipment frequently left scattered and out of place. It's not uncommon to see dumbbells from one rack left on the other side of the gym, making it frustrating to find what you need.

My primary concern is the management. When I brought up an issue with a broken machine, the staff member I spoke to was dismissive and seemed completely uninterested. There's a noticeable lack of professionalism and tact in how they handle member concerns. It feels like once you've signed up, you're on your own.

Finally, the cleaning protocols are seriously lacking. I've consistently seen dirty equipment, and the wipe-down stations are often out of sanitizer or paper towels. In today's environment, this is simply unacceptable. A gym should be a place where you feel healthy and safe, and unfortunately, the lack of cleanliness here makes me question that. I really wanted to like this place, but due to the disorganization, poor management, and subpar cleaning, I cannot recommend it.

Bucked Up Fitness is one of the best, if not the best gym Raleigh. There are a few that come close, and have great equipment and atmosphere, but Bucked Up Fitness in Cary gives you everything you need, with all of the new equipment and constant updates to the facility, events such as powerlifting meets, and community outreach programs, they really are doing everything they can to be as good as they can be for their members.

I signed up for this gym 3-4 years ago. I loved supporting a local business, especially after covid. The maintenance has been very poor on the equipment for all 3 or so years. At least one of the cable machines will be broken every time you go. Usually for a few weeks and up to a few months. They have gotten new equipment over the years. But again, maintenance remains poor. I was willing to look past this fact as I liked some of the powerlifting equipment they had. The ceiling recently caved in and they had to pull out all the flooring.This closed the gym for multiple days. The whole gym is now dirty concrete flooring. All lifting racks are on raised rubber platforms effectively ruining lifts such as bench where it creates a small incline or decline. The compensation for that was guest passes which felt like a slap in the face. Today I notified them I wanted to cancel my membership. I was met with resistance and told I would have to pay the current month as well as the next month even though I had not used the gym once this month and no payment had been taken thus far. They will charge you months ahead every opportunity they can. My membership cost has increased steadily over the 3 to 4 years at their own discretion. They also charge forward a month any time you change membership plans so keep that in mind.

This gym is top tier—not just because of the equipment and cleanliness, but because of the incredible staff. I’ve worked in the health and fitness industry for 10 years and the staff here really cares! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted like family. Every trainer, front desk rep, and manager genuinely cares about your goals and well-being. They’re not just nice—they go above and beyond to make sure you feel welcome, supported, and motivated. It’s rare to find a place where the people are just as uplifting as the workout itself. Highly recommend! Very nice facility and even better staff. 10/10

I've been going to Bucked Up for a few months now and I gotta say it's a really great place! On top of having basically every machine you could think of (legs, especially), they have the actual best setup for free weights I've seen in a gym.

They do a great job of maintaining the machines. All the staff are super friendly too.

Even though it is primarily a lifting gym, they have a good assortment of cardio equipment.

Nothing but great things to say about Bucked Up!

Edited -- this gym has fantastic facilities, the very best in Cary. I love the amenities they're working to add as well, such as the ice baths/infared saunas. In the past, the music they've played has been distractingly loud/bad, but they said they're working on it.

New to the area looking for a gym to sign up for, front desk lied to my face about having no free pass option, so then I pulled up the website and signed up for it on there. Have no idea why they lied to me about it I was very respectful, when trying the gym it felt very hot and moist inside at least 80 degrees. Lots of powerlifting equipment and lots of cool areas upstairs as well, won’t be going again though.

Was a member of this gym for a long time. Cancelled back in November, with December being my last payment. I was randomly charged again in February. I’ve called multiple times looking to speak to “Megan” who is the one that is supposed to handle this. Every time I get the same answer. “She’s not available, I’ll have her call you” guess what that never happens. She does have time to post her own workouts on the instagram page though. After looking at the other recent reviews it appears that I am not the only one who has had this issue. Their goal is to sneak a fee into your account two months after you cancel and hope you never notice.

I've been a member at bucked up fitness for almost a year now and i have never found a gym that compares to this place. It just keeps getting better! From the supplements/clothing to the equipment and athletic recovery center this place has put me in the best position to succeed as a powerlifter, up and coming body builder and over all fitness junkie. Bucked up is a very unique one stop shop for everything fitness/lifestyle related. looking forward to the levogue med spa coming in and cant wait to see this gym a few years from now. My suggestion is to take advantage of all they have to offer.

Being in the fitness industry for over a decade- I can honestly say you won’t find better equipment suited for all forms of athletes. I was hesitant to leave my normal gym, and now I’m just wishing I had done it sooner! I never have to wait for equipment because there’s so many options to choose from. And if I did want to work in-between a set, everyone has been so friendly and more than willing to share so far! Well worth the switch! 👏

Honestly this is a decent gym but I had a weird experience with cancelling. I gave a 30 day written notice to cancel my membership the following month. Cancellation request was honored and I never was charged any of the following months, however, I was charged $51.50 randomly months after the last membership monthly fee. When I called the front desk, he mentions that it is the annual membership fee, which is crazy because I have not been a member for months or even have access to my online account anymore. He did not offer a refund of this fee. Very strange business practice.

Would have given higher stars, especially with the recent infrastructure upgrades, but this random fee is an unexpected money grab that makes no sense.

Really great gym. It’s got all the machines and free weights imaginable. Every time I went I was never having to wait on a machine and the gym is well maintained and clean.

All in all, one of my favorite gyms of all time and highly recommended to anyone in the area looking for a place with great hours and facilities looking to get a great pump. The staff there is also incredible and very friendly. You won’t find a better experience anywhere else.

I have been going to Bucked Up for about 2.5 years now, but specifically wanted to speak on my experience with Coach Andrew Rowback. For the past 6 months, he has guided me through my first bodybuilding show/prep and I cannot recommend him enough.

First, outside of the actual fitness aspect, he is a phenomenal guy. He's understanding, flexible, and friendly with the members and his clientele, while still balancing professionalism. As an experienced coach and competitor, he is highly credible in training, nutrition, recovery, supplementation, and lifestyle approaches to fitness; no matter what questions I had, he had the answer that applied to ME.
As a client, your priorities are his priorities, for example, I had to shorten my prep by 10 weeks, and he immediately adjusted my program with no questions asked to keep me on track for my show.
He pays attention to details, is a great communicator, and will lay the steps out that you need to take to reach your goals. I was skeptical at first about committing my time and money to a coach, and figured "I can get away with doing this on my own" but the knowledge, progress, and experience I have gained by working with Rowback is unparalleled, and knowing what I know now, doing it alone would have been my biggest regret.

If you're still not convinced, schedule a free 60-minute consultation and you'll see what I'm talking about.
THANK YOU ROWBACK!

Was originally 5 stars. After the entire staff was fired, things took a turn. For months now, cables, treadmills, accessory machines and multiple mirrors have been broken. It's always "parts have been ordered" but only one gets ordered so when it breaks within weeks of replacement, it takes months to actually be fixed again. A large majority of people don't put their weights back and it's a scavenger hunt to find plates if you don't use KG plates which always find their way home. Overall cleanliness has gone down too. Lots of bars with chalk on them. Having an upstairs and downstairs sucks if you need things from both places and it was much better when it was all consolidated. It's the only gym with powerlifting equipment relatively close to me so it'll do for now.

First off let me say I don’t review often. I was very excited when I got offered a 7day free trial. My girlfriend and I went in for a chest day and were pumped to go try it out. First off I’m a bigger dude and so there was little to no plates bench press. I know not everyone uses a lot of weight but it was a struggle to find enough plates for my top set(385). I found myself walking clear across the gym to only find one more plate. I only found enough for 315lbs but that made me feel like I was screwing over everyone else cause I was having to take their plates. For guys that bench over 315 good luck finding weight for you. Second, lots of the machines are either broken or severely used. My GF was doing a Back day cause her shoulder started hurting and she couldn’t even find a decent working lat pulldown. That should be a staple piece of equipment in a gym. Finally, the vibe is TERRIBLE! The music they play is for a college twerk party (red nose, ayyy ladies, gas pedal). I’m not very picky when it comes to gyms but when you don’t have the essentials you kind of force my had to leave a bad review. The only good thing about this gym is the dumbbell selection and the free pre workout you get daily. Honestly I’d rather recommend planet fitness over this heap of garbage of a gym. For 50 a month I’d rather become obese then train here. I’m also a personal trainer and I would be embarrassed to bring a client to bucked up fitness. Overall I’m disappointed in a huge name branded gym having such poor equipment.

I joined Bucked Up Fitness in April 2022 and it is one of the best in the area. They offer a variety of memberships from day pass to options of monthly, 3 months, 6 months and 1 year memberships as well. It’s great that they are the main tenant which allows gym members to use the second floor and plenty of space including turf, kettlebells, dumbbells and 2 aerobics rooms. For those that are looking to rehabilitate injuries Bull City Physical Therapy (Cary, NC) is located on the top floor.

Been at this gym for a few months, and I loved the staff. They made gym feel like a family and I loved talking to them at the desk after my workout. Now that the staff has been fired for no real reason, I have no reason to stay.

The gym itself was bad. The equipment is frequently broken and the water bottle fountain filter status is always red. When I say the equipment is broken, I mean out of the 6 cables, only 3 work on any given day. The lat pull-down machines also broke every few weeks. Instead of fixing the current equipment, Bucked Up got new equipment like the pendulum squat. Which was fun, but not a staple like the other pieces.
Multiple lights in the women’s locker room have been out since December when I first joined. There are so many other issues I overlooked because I had friends who went to this gym and the staff, but now that the staff is gone, most of the current members are switching gyms.

Before I bash this gym, it has/had an amazing community of other members, which they unfortunately probably won't keep for long. This gym used to be an amazing place but has gone downhill exponentially.

Firstly, their cable machines take FOREVER to "fix". It took them over 4+ months to get new cables, and then they broke within a few weeks, and one of the cable machines is completely broken, AGAIN. The owners blame it on the cables being "custom made" and "supply chain issues". If that's the case, any competent owner would buy multiple cables and keep them ready as back up, so they could be quickly replaced while you order more.

Next, the gym is pretty filthy. I know you don’t go to the gym to be clean, but the amount of dust collected around the nooks and crannies of and around the machines is gross. Machines such as the leg extension, lat pull down, and other cables are frequently broken. There isn’t that many plates either for the amount of squat racks they have. They only have like 2-3 inclinable benches, everybody has a tripod and is recording, and the amount of inconsiderate high schoolers hogging equipment can be an annoyance. They don’t have any towels either (anymore), and half the time there are no wipes to wipe off sweat on machines.

They have either fired or lost most of their amazing staff members, including their former manager, Lee, who was loved by almost every gym-goer, with no notice, for no real reason. The owners are incompetent on how to run a business, and are usually just in their offices lounging around, napping, or blaming others for their issues. I’ve never seen them actually do any work. Instead of buying a 100k Denali or a C8 Corvette, maybe get some better cables or machines.

Honestly, this is no longer a $50-75/mo gym. There are gyms around the same price that are much superior all around than this gym.

Lastly, almost all of the recent (early October 2023) 5 star reviews were because they bribed their members with free t-shirts (which goes against googles policies for reviews)

I was initially thrilled to become a member of this gym, but I've been disappointed by its cleanliness. There are piles of dust under the machines, and on multiple occasions, I've even spotted one of the owners sleeping in a clear office. It felt like I was in a planet fitness half the time…

I hate to dump on a place I didn't get to fully experience...however ..

Went in for a day pass with my gf (former bodybuilder, and myself an experienced powerlifter) and I personally thought this was the worst gym I've ever been to.

We went in looking to try everything to see what it had to offer, on a day pass.

First four machines (two leg curls, leg extension, and a leg press) were all either problematic and/or awful.

Laying Leg extension: couldn't go full ROM would lock into place (we tried multiple different positions), and the belt got stuck. We noticed a girl after us trying it with the same problem (so we are fairly confident it wasn't due to our lack of using this specific machine).

Sitting Leg Curl: very odd looking mechanism, and the leverages on it was very strange, could be personal preference, but out of 30+ gyms over the east coast , I've personally never had one like that.

Leg Extension: Every set the 'weights' locked into place (this wasn't a plate loaded machine but one where you choose the weights with a slider mechanical (not pin loaded either). Trying to release the weight on the machine (as the gf and I handle different weights) required quite a lot of force, and caused me once to jam my thumb into the metal frame (I guess I could have used my foot or something to dislodge it?...)

Leg Press: Frustrated at this point, the gf mainly used the leg press (plate loaded) and only went up to about 6 plates per side. Starting with 3 plates, the leg press not only rocked left and right but forward and back , leading to quite interesting reps (each time).

Now, I want to make this clear I actually prefer older equipment, nothing fancy, items that simply get the job done. However, all of these pieces of equipment had major flaws or issues and I'm embarrassed for the gym itself.

With that said, they have a myriad of powerlifting racks, and from the looks of things (I did not try) calibrated plates, and decent power benches (not sure the brand) with proper pin placements (not simply 1").

I also hear they have a sauna , and potentially a court upstairs ? (Saw someone bring a basketball up there).

I definitely am biased given the only pieces of equipment either didn't work, worked poorly, or damn near injured me (half joking).

Edit: The owner comes into the review to act like we didn't know how to use the equipment... What a strategy ..

They won’t even let you try the gym for a free workout before you commit to a long term membership, oh well their loss, guess I’ll stay at the competition (Golds Gym) who let’s you try before you buy.

If “out of towners are benefitting” as you state below, that is easily fixed with requiring an ID! Wouldn’t more members keep the gym thriving and from going out of business, which “benefits the members”…..

This gym is amazing when it comes to equipment and community. I’ve never been in such an accepting and welcoming gym in my life. It does fall short in actually catering to its members though. I have hyperthermia and this place does not have any AC. I am unable to consistently come into this gym during the hotter days (60+) because it is packed and I tend to overheat. If you have a similar disorder please stay away from this gym when it’s crowded or hot outside!

I absolutely love this gym. I’ve used BuckedUp supplements in the past and never connected there was an actual buckedup gym. Being from out of state and having just moved to this area, all I can say is, I’m pleasantly surprised. This gym is very clean, professional, and structured. I do love how simple the check-in process is. The app is AMAZING! I love how the app tells you how many people are in the gym at any given time so I can avoid busy periods. The locker rooms are immaculate and the lifting floor is also cleaned regularly. Thank you for an amazing gym!

"Jeff, it’s interesting when you’ve visited the facility 149 times and have been a member since December 1st and you’d give us such a negative review? You gave your cancellation notice on July 26th which means your membership remains active until August 25th and we charge you a pro-rate for those 25 days into August. That’s a standard policy that you signed as recently as June 23rd. To go to such lengths to call this the worst gym you’ve been to is contradictory to you being a member for over 7 months and knowing the policies we have in place

Our members love how much equipment we have as well as the vibe we provide within the facility."

Reply:
I went to this gym because it was closest to where I live. That's not a standard policy. Bucked Up FORCED previous consumers to sign since June 23rd. My original contract never had such policy. You amended the policy and then required members to sign otherwise they can't use the facility. To go out on a limb and say that I contradict myself by stating that I was signed up for 7 months and saying it's the worst is a reach. Lifetime was my favorite gym; I was only a member for 5 months. Does time really dictate how much you like a place? Also -- I can think of a handful of people who absolutely hate how cramped the space is. Even current members are fed up with the machine with the broken cable. It's been two months -- way past acceptable timeframe to fix a machine.

Furthermore, I'd advise all current members to go look at the equipment that's been set up. There's nuts and bolts on the edges of all the equipment from poor installation. Do you really want to be on the receiving end of a machine when it malfunctions?

This is a smaller gym but has everything needed to stay fit or bodybuild. Young crowed average age seems to be around 20+ I’m 56 and have been at this for 30+ years I rather like the young crowed to push me through my training. Good clean gym and locker room.

Great new equipment, plenty of squat racks and space to do whatever workout you'd like. Great atmosphere to workout in. Negatives would be that it can be crowded at times, and a lot of people recording themselves and it can take up a good amount of space.

I was so excited for this gym and but I was super let down by my experience. The equipment is wonderful, the staff was super nice, but I felt completely unwelcome by the patrons. Before I even walked into the building, 2 guys walked past me and one of them “coughed” (actually insulted me under his breath) and his buddy laughed loudly. I felt like everyone was watching me during the entirety of my workout. I have been weightlifting for 2 years and have never been to a gym with such an unwelcoming energy. I literally felt like I was in high school again. It’s such a shame because I would love this gym if not for the people being so rude to me. If you’re not a completely jacked man… maybe steer clear

Hey Guys. Thanks so much for the tour today. I'm considering Bucked Up after previous gym closed. Bucked up is an impressive gym. A 'pure' gym. Non-pretentious with everything I need and nothing I don't (did you hear that LifeTime? O2?). Had a great conversation with your GM who was putting in his own reps keeping the place tidy and presentable. I think I've found my new local gym.

UPDATE: gym is fully open and even better with continued improvements coming based on feedback of its clientele (foreign concept- a company that listens to those who keep the lights on?!).
I've been to various gyms in the area (O2, Lifetime, and Iron Pit) and it's striving to be the best of each while staying affordable. The gym is hardy enough for serious powerlifters and bodybuilders, but with plenty of equipment for those looking for functional fitness and overall wellness.
I'm so excited to see what comes with 2022!
*******
The gym has only soft opened with it actually opening Dec 1... The facility is AMAZING and they have some great things planned for the facility and members. I'm so excited to be a part of this gym and hope they reach their goals. The staff I've met there so far are great and I'm confident they will be successful between their people, equipment, and quality supplements.
