I joined this CrossFit gym back in March 2025, and from day one, it’s felt like a second home. As a Durham local, I’m proud to have found a place that not only pushes me physically, but also welcomes me with open arms every time I walk through the door.

The coaching staff here is absolutely top-notch. Each coach brings their own unique style, experience, and personality to the floor, which creates a dynamic and supportive environment. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned athlete, they have an incredible way of meeting you where you’re at and helping you level up.

The programming is consistently excellentβ€”challenging, thoughtful, and always scalable. No two workouts are the same, and there’s always an opportunity to grow. The facility itself is clean, well-organized, and outfitted with high-quality equipment, which just adds to the experience.

If you’re looking for a CrossFit gym in Durham that combines expert coaching, a great community, and a commitment to excellence, this is the place. I’m grateful to be part of it.

Went to CrossFit RTP for a week as a drop in, nice and friendly community and very knowledgeable coaches. Was lucky to have Lei to watch me and shared few tips and cue’s to improve. Will definitely go back whenever in the area.

Dropped in at CrossFit RTP while traveling for work and had a great experience. The facility is clean and well equipped, the coach was friend and welcoming, and the members made me feel right at home. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone in the area and hope to drop in again the next time I’m in town.

What a fantastic gym. I dropped into two classes while in for a conference and couldn’t have asked for a better group to workout with. Felt right at home immediately and had amazing coaching. If you’re in the area, JOIN! If you’re stopping through, DROP IN! I promise it will be worth it.

My boyfriend & I dropped in here a few days ago and are still talking about how great the gym is and how much fun we had! The coach, Lindsey, was very welcoming and an incredible coach! She was super motivating and had great energy throughout the class. She explained the workout in detail and addressed any modifications needed. The workout was awesome, we are so happy we went! I highly recommend dropping in here if you are in the area!

My girlfriend and I came here for a drop-in this past week. Not only was the gym super nice, clean, and well-organized, but the coaching was truly stellar. Lindsey was an all-star coach and a true professional! Every CrossFit gym should aspire for their staff to be this well trained! Thank you!!!

I really enjoyed working out at Crossfit RTP. The space is huge, the programming is solid, and the coaches are all knowledgeable and kind. My technique got a lot better, especially front squats ;), and I've had less injuries and pain.

Highly recommend it for both Crossfit veterans and newbies alike to check it out!

Coaches are fantastic and the workouts are easy to scale up or down.

We really like the atmosphere of the gym and it is very welcome to individuals of all fitness levels. Been going here for almost 3 years.

There is a sense of community especially for regulars and coaches and members make an effort to welcome anyone new.

Highly recommend it if you’re curious about CrossFit or if you’re looking for a gym that supports fitness and community. Coaches will work with you 1:1 for at least one visit to introduce you to the equipment and provide recommendations on where to start with workouts which is really helpful.

The BEST gym in the RTP area. Not only are the members incredibly welcoming the coaches do an incredible job of assessing each athlete and making sure each workout is tailored to each person. Not only does this help with seeing progress but also helps prevent injury. Could not recommend this gym more.

Crossfit RTP has been a real gamechanger for me. I started here when I was still healing from a shoulder injury and all the coaches have been super supportive. They have always looked out for me. They thoughtfully modified and scaled those movements that weren't suitable for me and I got so much stronger, and I truly believe this sped up my healing process. The coaches here are so professional and thorough while making classes fun and engaging. They motivate you, challenge you and push you while ensuring safety. I highly recommend CrossFit RTP to everyone regardless of their fitness level.

As a constant traveler, having good gyms in places I know I will frequent is a critical part to keeping baselines for health and fitness on track. RTP is easily one of the best I've been to. A great group, solid programming, and Lei and his team's clear investment in connecting with all who come through the door, make this an excellent gym and one I would recommend.

An amazing crossfit gym in the triangle! Everyone is so welcoming and they have great programming. The owner did a 1-on-1 with me when I started to check on form and limitations, which allowed us to set goals and for him to relay that info to the other coaches. All the coaches are great and knowledgeable as well!

Dropped in today while in Raleigh for work. Lei was the coach this morning. He had great communication with the class, was very welcoming, had good energy for a 6:30am class and made sure to introduce me to the members. The workout was really good. Made me push myself which is what I like. The gym as spacious, well let and had tons of equipment. I’ll be coming to Raleigh every so often for work, and I’ll make sure to always stop in at CrossFit RTP

CrossFit RTP is an excellent gym. I hesitated to join CrossFit due to its reputation for poor weightlifting form, but the coaches here teach and insist on good form. I learned a lot and performed new movements I didn't think I could in the year I went to this gym before moving away from the area.

The coaches are approachable for talking over scaling options and proper technique. The staff and the other gymgoers are very friendly. The community balances giving you opportunities to push yourself while being a safe space for learners. I did not expect to be so supported in my fitness journey, but CrossFit RTP blew through my expectations. Give it a try if you're in the area!

I am an experienced crossfitter that dropped in at RTP for a week while visiting with my family, and they made me feel right at home! I loved that they had weightlifting, skill work, and metcon every day. Coaches and members were friendly and supportive and did not let me slack off just because I was on vacation :) They had a great big working space with lots of fun equipment. Is it terrible that I want to visit my parents more now just so I can go to their gym?!

I joined CrossFit RTP as a 49 year-old and immediately knew I had found the right gym for me. From day 1 everyone was so supportive. The coaches showed me how to push myself without risking injury, and the younger athletes cheered my accomplishments. Going to the daily workouts quickly became the highlight of my day. I don’t consider myself to be a natural-born athlete, but I found myself doing things I never dreamed of, like 20’ rope climbs, using only my arms. I cannot say enough great things about CrossFit RTP.

Paid for a week pass (great deal) to drop-in at CrossFit RTP while I was in town visiting some family. The coaching staff and members were extremely friendly and motivating. The WODs were nice and challenging, the staff does an excellent job prepping the classes, and breaking down the movements. The owner Lei is extremely passionate about coaching and the industry, I ended up scheduling some additional 1 on 1 time with him after hours to work on improving my olympic lifting.

Stumbled upon this gym after moving to the RTP area in March 2019, during week 5 of the CrossFit Open. I needed a gym to do the final workout at and this one was 10 minutes away so I decided to a try.

A woman who goes by "Mech" judged me and you would have thought her and I were best friends or that I had been a member of the gym for years the way she cheered for me and pushed me, a total stranger to her during that workout. I knew then that I didn't want to look at any other gyms and I was back the very next day and almost every day until the pandemic hit. Mech remained a person that I would always talk to and exchange workout strategies with!

In general, this gym is full of great people of various proficiencies all going through their own individual fitness journeys, but together. Everyone is welcome, no matter if you are new to CrossFit or a grizzled vet. The coaches are also great and are always willing to work with you to figure out what works best for you on that day and at that time.

If I had to critique anything about the gym and this is minor, it would be the programming. I believe the programming was changed once if not twice during my time there which isn't a problem in itself, but I always felt like we were rushing through the class trying to get everything done in an hour. Sometimes less is more, but that's subjective and a personal preference of mine so I'll leave that to prospective members to see how this works for them.

Highly recommend this gym; Lei is a terrific owner who deeply cares.

I was visiting the area for 2 weeks because my daughter had a baby. Wanted to find a box to go to during that time. Decided to try CrossFit RTP. So glad I did! Wonderful group of people that made me feel so welcome! Coaches- Lindsey, Nick and Lorena were awesome! The members are accepting and motivating. Had a wonderful experience and this will be my box away from home when I come to visit my daughter. Thank you everyone!

I travel for a living; and I have worked out at many CrossFit facilities across the country. CrossFit RTP is truly one of the Top 3 CrossFit facilities I have worked out at. The coaching is superb, and I have even debated in flying back to the Research Triangle just to spend a week working out here to fine-tune my movements. Yes - the coaching is that good it would be worth spending airfare/hotel for a whole week just to work out here.

CrossFit RTP is by far the best CrossFit gym in the triangle! The quality of coaching and attention to detail to form and function of CrossFit movements and OLY is unsurpassed. If you are new to CrossFit I would highly recommend starting here, as the coaching goes beyond the basic training series for beginners. For advance athletes looking to grow this is your box- my form improved (and weights on the bar went up) significantly after transitioning to this box. Additionally, this gym has a strong background in competition training (regional level) for those who like to compete! The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming and the community is supportive in and outside of the box. Furthermore, the professionalism demonstrated by the coaches is the highest I have seen at a CrossFit box. My only caution is that once you go you won't want to leave.

I had the pleasure of being a member of CrossFit RTP for 6-8 months. It has been an amazing experience! From the coaching and programming to the community of athletes, everything has been a 5 star experience. I have been a CrossFit athlete for 7 years, I was a CrossFit coach for 5 years and I have trained and coached at many boxes in the area. CrossFit RTP has really stood out to me in so many ways.

Community - I was immediately welcomed into the community and never felt like an outsider. I was asked to participate in competitions alongside other athletes and made friends easily. Everyone was very inclusive.

Coaching - being a seasoned CrossFit athlete, oftentimes, it is hard to find coaches that can really coach you. I felt that ALL the coaches there were able to offer me fantastic coaching. I broke through some serious plateaus during my time there and I attribute that to the coaches and their hard work.

Programming - it pushes you! I don't think I've ever followed such rigorous programming in my time as a CrossFit athlete. The programming was comprehensive and offered a lot of accessory work.

Owner - Lei is a great, no nonsense, owner and coach. He never gives preferential treatment. ALL athletes are created equal. He always makes sure everyone has his attention and checks in with you about your experience regularly. The environment at RTP is professional.

It really has been a great experience for me at RTP! I highly recommend this box.

This is going to be a kind of atypical review because I want to focus more on the community I have found at CFRTP, besides I think the other reviews can speak to the high quality of coaching, support, and progress you will find.

As an NC transplant, a lot has changed in my life since establishing a home here. I have been a member of Crossfit RTP on and off since the fall of 2013 but was finally ready to become consistent spring 2015. The only thing holding me back was that I had begun my gender transition and was unsure as to how that would play out at the box and ultimately, how comfortable I would feel balancing both. I decided the best route was to share this with the head coach and owner, Lei Fei. As soon as I disclosed what I was currently going through and my desires and concerns regarding my membership, Lei stepped in as an incredible support system and so too has the entire Crossfit RTP community. Lei immediately reassured me that nothing would change in our relationship, he would make sure the box continued to be a safe and positive space for me, and that he would work with me, the staff, and members in any way I felt necessary and comfortable to ease the transition and disclosure process. It has been such a relief to be able to continue with Crossfit as part of my growth and stay connected to a place that feels like home. After that initial meeting, Lei has continued to reach out to me and offer his support and it has never waivered. I had so many fears regarding my transition playing out in such a physically visible and male-dominated space, but it has only served to encourage me and be a place of comfort. For those looking for an inclusive and welcoming community while also consistently pushing your potential, Crossfit RTP is it. I will always be grateful for the way this community has been able to aid in my growth both before and after my transition began.

My husband and I were visiting from Boston and had only been going to our box for about 6 months. Needless to say, I was a little nervous to drop into another box. Our experience was awesome! They treated us like one of their own, cheered us on and the coach was there for questions we had as well as for any corrections during the movements. I would definitely return if we are ever in the area again.

I recently had the opportunity to drop-in at Crossfit RTP while on a business trip. Coach Sarah was absolutely wonderful, and every member that I came across was exceptionally welcoming. I feel like even in open gym, I received excellent oversight, fantastic coaching tips, and great camaraderie. A productive hour while traveling away from home!

Had the pleasure to drop-in twice during a work trip and had a great experience. First class coaching and atmosphere.

Lei and Josh, the coaches I met, are very knowledgeable and have a great eye for the little/subtle things you can adjust to improve your lifting technique. Great motivators as well!

I am coming back in the summertime and plan on dropping in again!

So I've been going to this box for a few months now and completely love it. The people here are great. They're encouraging and very friendly. The coaches as well (Kim, Josh, Roger, Kris, Lei) are all great coaches. They are very technical, friendly, and will help you reach whatever goal you set your mind to. If you are looking for a local box to join, I highly recommend this one.

I was in Durham visiting and dropped in for a few classes. It was a great experience. All of the coaches (Kristen, Josh and Kim) were fantastic. They are all very technical in correct movement techniques. I was warmly welcomed into the box. Thank you!

I started going to CrossFit RTP a few months ago since I moved to Durham and could no longer make the drive to the Box I was going to in Raleigh.

First of all, this box compared to most I've been in (I travel a lot for work) is VERY spacious.

There is rarely an occasion that you run out of equipment, or that you run into someone else.

Also, when I joined, I told Lei that I was going to only be there until the end of the year, so he knew in advance I was going to be leaving.
This did not stop them from making me feel welcome immediately, and as one of the family.
I've been to Boxes where under a "permanent" membership you could tell that they just wanted to get their money from you and have nothing to do with you if you weren't one of their close friends.

At CrossFit RTP Lei, and the rest of the staff, gave me many suggestions and advice, and told me when they thought I should increase or reduce weight based off my form rather than "Just get that weight up there."

Many times accessory exercises were programmed outside the normal WOD in order to work your core or a specific skill.

I would recommend them to anyone in the area dropping in, or looking for a good Box in Durham.

My husband and I were in town visiting his friend over the Thanksgiving holiday. We dropped in for a class on Saturday and we had a great experience. Sarah is an awesome coach and has a very watchful eye. Lei was so quick with his responses when I emailed the previous week about dropping in. The members were warm and welcoming. We had a great time! Thank you so much! I highly recommend this place!

Dropped in this morning and had a great experience! The owner, Lei, was coaching and was awesome to work with (despite the fact he no repped me on a couple of OHS lol). Would definitely recommend this box to anyone looking to drop in or get started doing crossfit in the area

Crossfit RTP is truly an exceptional experience.... Crossfit RTP has a great facility, daily workouts that are both challenging and exciting, and a supportive community feel that is exactly what one needs in order to push him/herself to achieving new personal records. What really makes CrossFit RTP stands apart is that it has the most tremendous, knowledgeable, and trust-worthy training staff. I absolutely 100% recommend CrossFit RTP to anyone and everyone.

Was in for a day for work and dropped in for a workout. Lots of great things about this place.
1. It's huge
2. They are welcoming to drop ins. Not every box, is but this place was great.
3. Drop in fee was FREE for a day.
4. Lei was great - two WOD programs for different levels. Lei's really knowledgeable and gave great coaching. Many don't do that with drop ins.

One word of warning - they're good - so be prepared to work.
Thanks Crossfit RTP 630 class - y'all are great.

The coaches at CrossFit RTP are very knowledgeable and work hard to create a healthy and fun environment. CrossFit and the crew at CrossFit RTP have made working out fun again after I took a few years off from working out. Highly recommend checking out Crossfit RTP.

I entertained the idea of starting to do CrossFit about 7 months ago. I went from website to website in search for a "box" that I would join. Looking at pricing, scheduling, and location, CrossFit RTP stood out to me. So I went to check out one of their free Saturday community workouts, and it was great. The coaches were very friendly and welcoming. It was a great first experience, and I knew that I wanted to come back for more. Fast forward to today, I've been working out at CrossFit RTP for a little over 6 months, and I haven't looked back since the day I joined. I've met some awesome people who were very quick to welcome me as part of their community, and I've gotten in the best shape that I've ever been in (I was a seasonal gym-goer before that). If you're on the fence about starting CrossFit or choosing an affiliate, stop thinking and just come and try it out on a Saturday. You will find a super friendly and supportive atmosphere. The coaches are very well informed about movements and technique, which is very crucial when trying to teach high-technique Olympic lifts and other functional movements. Crossfit RTP is just a fun and supportive gym where everybody is on a journey to get fitter and stronger. Don't over think it, just give it a try, you won't regret it.

My wife and I decided to try Crossfit for the first time this year and based on reviews, decided to start with Crossfit RTP. We had a blast getting our feet wet at this box and love both the coaches and the environment they offer. Most gyms that I have seen offer basic workouts with strength training as an add-on, at Crossfit RTP you get more than your money's worth for one low rate. If you want to challenge yourself and see results, I recommend Crossfit RTP as the Box of Choice! Keep up the good work guys!

Dropped in this weekend while on the road. Coaches and members made you feel welcomed. Great space especially when the bay doors are open - felt like you were outside.

I joined Crossfit RTP one year ago and I have never regretted it. It has been a great experience. I have learned a lot, done things I have never thought about doing or thought I could do, and have met some amazing people. Coaches and members are very helpful and encouraging. Saturdays are the best because it is usually partner workouts! If you are thinking about doing it I'd say definitely try it!! It's just fun!!

I was talked into joining Crosfit RTP by a colleague of mine who I am pretty sure is collecting a commission from convincing co-workers to join this gym. I joined while I was staffed on a client project in the area. While I was skeptical in the beginning, I quickly saw positive results in my overall fitness due to the relationships I developed with the coaches. The Crossfit culture and community can be overwhelming at first, but the coaches here really show a genuine interest in you and your well-being. The only reason I left the gym was because my project assignment in the area ended, and I would recommend this gym to anyone who is looking to improve their health. I wish nothing but success for the future CrossFit RTP.

CrossFit RTP was my box for almost a year. It was a home away from home. I became stronger than I've ever been because I was encouraged and empowered by amazing coaches and fellow athletes. As athletes we were trained through strong programming and individualized instruction while engaged in group personal training. If CrossFit is a community in Raleigh/Durham, then RTP is the home for you.

I joined crossfit RTP over the summer to kickstart my fitness and learn proper technique for basic lifts. Two months later, I can happily say that my strength has improved considerably and I feel much more comfortable performing technical lifts.

What I didn't expect to find, however, was such a vibrant, supportive and cohesive community. The coaches are fantastic as well as the other gym members. Each workout was unique and expertly run. I never felt myself stagnating or plateauing as I have in the past and I looked forward to the workout every day.

If you are considering Crossfit - I highly recommend joining this gym. The mental, physical and health benefits are well worth the cost!

I have never been one to enjoy working out at a gym, but since joining CrossFit RTP I can't stay away. I started two months ago and worked my butt off, but strangely felt happy and eager to do it. That hasn't happened for me since I stopped playing sports after high school. The community feel makes it the kind of place you want to be, not just for work outs, but for a sense of camaraderie and well-being. On top of that, the coaches are well trained and focused on form and safety, so I always felt comfortable as I was pushing myself to my limits. This is overall a great place to be, both for beginner and expert CrossFitters alike.

Just dropped-in at CF RTP today and all I have to say is that they are amazing! Sarah our coach has what it took to push all of us so much further than we could push ourselves. Her knowledge and one-on-one skills helped so much as I was working on my snatch balance (a lift I am new to), by the end of the skill building I was feeling like a champion. I've been around to a lot of gyms and must say this one has what it takes.......clean, friendly members/staff/owner, and equipment. If your on the edge about checking it out this is me pushing you DON'T wait go to RTP today it will change your life!

I've visited several crossfit boxes across the U.S, and Crossfit RTP was one of the best "visitor" experiences I've had.

I was a drop-in at the Wednesday 6:30 class, and had a great time with the coaches and members. Lei led us through a great WOD, and everyone took a few seconds to introduce themselves and make me feel welcome.

Thank you RTP for an excellent experience and workout!

My roommate and I had a prior AWFUL experience at another Crossfit box and friends recommended coming to RTP after that. The coaches at RTP are phenomenal... they genuinely love Crossfit and it really shows. The location is convenient and the box itself is open and inviting. If I weren't moving, this would be my box of choice. Durham/Raleigh has a TON of boxes, but this one is overall the best. Thanks RTP!!!!

If you really want to be FIT, the CrossFit is the way to train. Strength, cardiovascular conditioning, agility, balance, and flexibility are all rolled into one hour of intensive work that will leave even seasoned gym rats out of breath. It is challenging for any level of athlete but can also be scaled down for beginners -- basically, there is no excuse.

Much of the CrossFit experience is dependent on the coaches, and CrossFit RTP has an outstanding, knowlegeable coaching staff. They push us to work as hard as we can, but I never fear that they are pushing me to a level where I might get injured.

The bottom line for me is that it made going to work out fun again.
