I would never join a gym that hides its rates. It’s an absolute scam that I have to give you my email and phone number just to get a straight answer, only to be harassed by calls and told someone will “contact me” instead of just saying what the monthly fee is. What a pathetic and shady business practice. You’ve definitely lost me as a customer, (before I even know your monthly rate..) and I guarantee I’m not the first.

I am active duty military and haven’t been back to this gym on a membership in 5 years. This past week, I’m visiting home again and go for a day pass. The front desk tells me I never cancelled my membership and the charge has been sent to collections…. She tells me that if I pay $100 today she can “make it go away” and then I’ll be allowed to purchase a day pass. Absolutely pathetic. I’ll never pay that money for THEIR failure to cancel when I confirmed with the front desk years ago that they would cancel my membership since I was moving away and joining the military! In fact, I’ve been purchased day passes many times since cancelling membership and this was never a problem until now. I’ll go across the street to Gold’s Gym from now on! All Strive does is increase their monthly fee and lease out to an overpriced Crossfit gym. It’s not clean, the equipment is not taken care of, and I had been deadlifting on the same platform and squatting on the same racks for the past DECADE; I wonder why they’re having to scrape up fake collections… to try and make some more money.

Drive all the way here before work from Summerfield just to sauna and they don’t have it working. If people are paying for a membership here things should be working at all times. This is not the first time dealing with the non sense.

Strive isn't a perfect gym. However it does fit simple criteria for most people and bodybuilders like myself. I've been a member for about a year now and have 0 complaints. I love mostly the simplicity of a monthly rate and a short contract. I recommend strive to my friends and family "it's a good place to lift".

Great gym but the issue is the younger crowd. They have 3x more foot print . Pants , belts , shoes all over the lifting area despite there are plenty of lockers available .
The biggest issue is that they think this is “cool” and it’s spreading now . The gym is not big enough for gym bags all over the floor. You can barely walk sometimes .
Two weeks ago 3 of them were trying to intimidate me by getting into my personal space . One ended up being too close to my crotch as I had no other way of loading my plate / He was too close . Other one was warned as he was within my spitzone. Yes , I had to explain him why He was too close . They were doing it intentionally as I had a friction with one of them a few months prior ..
I have 3 friends switching to the big gym in west market and unfortunately I am the next on the line . I love this gym. Great machines /maintenance / proximity but it is what it is .

Great gym yet sometimes it’s like a day care .
There are way too many entitled Gen Zs at a time and it’s like migration . You can only integrate / digest so many of them at a time unless it’s a school gym with firm rules.
One time “kid” next to me had her clothes stripped all over the floor on barbell area over 30 minute. No her mom was not there unfortunately .

Vast space. Only time I avoid is the 5pm rush which is not fun to workout at when every machine is taken and it’s stressful. But since they’re open most hours it’s never too crowded and there are always plenty of free machines. Music can be unbearably loud and low quality at times, but most of it can be drowned out with headphones.

Great old school style gym. My teenager boys love it here. Depending on the time of the day it can get very busy. With many machines from different brands. Sometimes you can find a strong smell. They have a smoothie counter that’s great for post-workout nutrition.

A+ gym. In-between LifeTime and AnytimeFitness range of experience.
Full functional training with about a 400x200m turf, plenty of free weights, multiple plate areas, clean locker rooms, dry sauna. Cross-fit area separate from the general admission area as well. Some older equipment (Concept2 rowers w/ PM4/3 monitor, cardio w/o bluetooth) that's been well maintained may be a turn off toward trendier crowd.
Note: ActiveAndFitDirect trial.

I was a member here from 2016-20. I would still be a member to this day if I hadn't moved to a different state. Very clean environment from the locker rooms to the weights. The quality of the equipment is very good, and they have just about everything you can reasonably expect a gym to have. Every square foot is being put to good use but it in no way feels cluttered. The culture is good. Ownership is excellent. Gyms can really be a tough business but Rob has done a great job of making Strive the place to workout in the area and it shows with the success they've had. I like that they are deliberately meeting the needs of just about every type of person that uses a gym. Are you a serious bodybuilder or powerlifter? Good gym for you. Are you someone who has never set foot in a gym? They will sit down with you to assess your goals and create a plan for you, and the classes/personal trainers are great for this demographic. I can confidently say Strive is the best gym I have ever been to, and I wish there was a gym like Strive in my current area.

This gym is very unprofessional! I reported harassment from a member and they completely ignored it. I recorded people on a private account following me around and they called me on a private number to terminate my membership because of those videos. There was no way they could have found my account unless they were cyber stalking me. They don't require mask so it's clear they do not care about the safety of their members. This was a disgusting place to workout.

Very very bad costumer service I have been there for 2 years never been treated good ever specifically from the one his name Michael always gives very bad look and very bad attitude for no reason never help or answer you at all seems like he doesn't like to be there
..........Respond to the owner how am I in and out for three months like you said and no one stopped me and how do I know that my membership is expired until someone will let me know even when he pulled me to talk about it . it was bad way to talk to costumer absolutely non professional person and am talking about the way they talked to me about it they almost kicked me out the gym and I was willing to resigned up for 5 years thats not the way your people treat costumer even when the membership is expired that's bad gym and bad costumer service ever.....and to answer your questions I will never ever take away the car from my costumer because I know they have struggled with money and they have kids and work and life they need the car with them to continue life see that's what am saying costumer service it's not in your list guys costumer comes first to staying in business

I would have to say this is the best gym in Guilford I’ve been to quite a few others and nothing compares to Strive! Staff is friendly, the people are friendly as well, equipment is always clean and well maintained. They also give massages with your membership. (Check to make sure due to covid restrictions etc) sauna is part of amenities as well as CrossFit! So if you are nervous about going to the gym due to certain things (weight, looks etc) go to strive where you will feel welcomed because we are all after something that made us all go to the gym.

4 weeks into my 6 week challenge and I'm starting to feel like myself again after 2 kiddos in 2 years. The trainers are amazing! Personal strength classes are great to slow things down and build some muscle. Burn, Sprint, and Grind bootcamp style classes are great to speed things up and get that HIIT work in. Be prepared to sweat! The environment is positive, inviting, and clean. You'll go from walking in nervously to your first class to feeling like you're part of the family in no time. One of my favorite parts is they meet everyone where they are and avoid injury with deep stretching every class before and after and have several different modifications available for every excercise.

Strive is frankly the best gym I have had a membership with. The facilities/equipment are well maintained and accommodate a wide range of needs. But more importantly, the staff are dedicated and invested in their clients' success. They go the extra mile to help you meet your goals and needs and help you succeed. Rob and his group really make you feel like they care about you as a person and not just a revenue source. Every time I go in I end up talking with trainers and members many of whom I consider personal friends. The gym really has a sense of community, no matter your fitness or membership level. I can't wait for Covid to end and get back to seeing my Strive Family on a regular basis again!

Strive is an amazing place with such great people. I've been a member for more than three years and I recommend it to anyone who wants to work out and get fit. The staff is always interested in my goals, they always encourage me to work hard and always have ideas to get more out of my workout. I've just started personal strength training and it's awesome; I could really turn into a gym rat at Strive.

My family and I have been going to Strive for over a year now and have loved it! Although we live on the other side of Greensboro now and pass about 2-3 Gold’s and Planet Fitnesses - Strive is worth the drive. After our son was born, we struggled to find a workout routine that allowed one parent to stay home with our little one and workout between odd work days. Thankfully - our son has enjoyed going to Strive as much as we do! The Kidzone is great, love the Kidzone associates, and love how they make his time at the gym just as enjoyable! I struggled with mom-guilt but Strives’ Kidzone helped change all that!!! This place is a godsend for parents with little ones and who also need to focus on their health/fitness! Highly recommend!

We recently decided to axe Planet Fitness, as our goals didn’t seem to align with the “moderate effort” theme they have going on. We researched, compared, and toured a few other local gyms (Golds, Prohlific) and settled on Strive. Our first visit and tour was amazing, Dorothy was warm and welcoming. We joined, and have been there about a month. Here’s an honest review of this past month.
There are loads of options, styles, areas, and tools available for any kind of goal. The boxing equipment is a plus, just bring your own wraps or gloves. The community ones are pretty icky. The turf area is great. The male trainers are friendly, knowledgeable, and seem to motivate well, although we haven’t done any of the classes. The younger female trainer seems significantly less friendly, but still seems to know what she’s doing. The equipment is all well maintained and functional, however a little dingy. I don’t notice much cleaning going on. It’s definitely a gym for people who want to get their money’s worth, which we enjoy. Being around people who are pushing themselves is a motivator. There do seem to be some definite judgmental cliques going on with some regular members, but if you’re just showing up to work out and leave, it’s easy to ignore. Overall we’re happy with our decision, and would recommend Strive to those looking for a “real” gym with plenty of fitness journey options.

Best gym I have ever been to hands down. I came to strive originally looking for a gym that would help give me some direction in meeting a new fitness goal i set. I initially went to golds seeking some personal training and the option to do crossfit style workouts. I was very put off by their pricing and the guy assured me that strive was the same. I had never even heard of it so i googled it and the prices were listed. They were a fraction of what golds charges. So went over to check it out. I was greeted warmly and immediately got to meet the owner and told him what I was looking for. He explained the gym and what was offered and it seemed to fit perfectly with what I was after. I signed up for a month trial with some personal training to see if I could fit it in my overly booked student schedule. I have never loved a gym more. I saw results (actual visible results) in just 1 month. I had no muscle tone, poor balance, and no coordination due to prolonged dieting. The trainers are friendly, they listen, they push you hard (but safe), and the workouts are fun. The facility is clean, the locker rooms are nice, and the equipment is well maintained. I have NOTHING negative to say about this place. Sadly it did not fit in my upcoming fall schedule (unless I decided to workout at 5 am every day), but I fully plan to be back after this semester. I cannot say enough positive things about it. Just go and check it out!!!

I've been interested in joining a gym and one of my friends recommended Strive. I've needed to get a work out plan started for some time now and thought this would be a great opportunity for me since I live so close. I walked in the door and the first gentlemen greeted me and was with another customer so he directed me to another gentlemen across from him to assist me.
I walked over to speak with him and started asking about the group exercise classes and told him I was interested in BodyPump because I had attended it before and saw some great results.
He told me that they didn't offer any Body Pump classes anymore and that would have been fine but as I started asking about other opportunities and work out classes he never gave me no direct eye contact nor did he offer much explanation as to what the other classes were like. I kept trying to ask more questions but he was more concerned with making a protein shake than assisting a potentially new customer.
I also wanted a tour of the facilities and I was told by the same gentlemen that I could walk around and look at the gym myself and look at a white board for the classes they offer. Now, HOW AM I supposed to know what I'm looking at! So I walked around the facility feeling like I was blown over and not thought about at all. So disappointed in STRIVE. I might have wanted to join another class but since I was given no direction as to what I was looking at or what to sign up for, I just left feeling disappointed.
So I guess I'll join somewhere else that actually wants to invest in their customers and gives a hoot about potential memberships rather than blending protein shakes.

I have been a member of Strive for over a year now and have found it to be the place to go. Being over 50 I was scared to go into the gym again after years of excuses and health issues. Making the decision to go to Strive has literally changed my life. Rob set up a training plan for me on the day I joined and after following it, I have exceeded my goals. Reading the 2 negative reviews on here really pissed me off and motivated me to open up about the true Strive.
First of all, you DO NOT have to have a top membership to be successful at Strive. Their trainers are top and their group classes are very inviting and scheduled to be available almost anytime you need them. The group classes are geared towards any walk of life. From someone who is trying to get fit to someone who is very fit. Everyone feels comfortable in the classes and along with being really well planned for every fitness level, they are fun.
Equipment is plentiful and well maintained. Of course, you can get someone in the gym who has no idea of "gym etiquette" who may interfere with your workout, but it is rare. Help is available at all times and is given with friendly enthusiasm.
I would highly recommend Strive to anyone, of any age, at any fitness level. You will be glad you joined.

Great equipment.
Strive treats those who don't purchase personal training packages as second class citizens. Changes rules after 2 years on a dime, usually personally based. Only towards members who don't buy bells and whistles.
No floor supervision/assistance of/for clients. You can't get a spot, or if you're doing something risky, no feedback. Have seen preventable accidents occur.
Manager will lie to your face, is insincere and only motivated by $.
But puts on a great act. Should run for congress.
Like a politician he'll only kiss a baby if a camera is rolling.
Asst. Manager is selectivity abusive and ignorant.
But if you buy the personal training packages they will "stroke you".... "Hey, you're awesome!",then bad mouth you behind your back.
There's a huge lack of sincerity, honesty.
Often classes are too big and personal trainers can't give clients the attention they deserve.
Manger will manipulate/exploit children with "programs for kids" to gain good, local PR. Yet only serve the wealthy who can afford it. And the trainers are instructed to put up with any dangerous nonsense... as long as it's base on cash revenue.
As a former PE teacher and personal trainer I've seen counter productive , and dangerous activity reinforced in these sessions so as not to jeopardize and additional income. This is not in the best interest of young people.
Strive's moral compass points towards the dollar sign.
Great equipment.
Mostly great, underpaid, overwhelmed trainers.
Management is insincere and at times engages in bullying... to members who don't but the training packages.
I was at this gym for over 8 years, with 2 previous owners... I experienced none of these issues.

I thank Rob for his comment in reference to my review. However I need to be clear that, although what he said sounds good and reasonable, that is not the whole story.
I was told by two new members of the gym that Rob told them they were 20 years too young to participate in the Gentle Fitness class (in my opinion Rob's least favorite class). He said not to bother with that class. They were not told the class would not fit into their "training matrix". The new members were old enough to make their own decision. Gentle Fitness is a good class for all-around good physical health and physical/mental well-being. The class focuses on cardio health, strength training and balance. The participant can ramp the class up as much as they want, follow the instructor's directions or participate at a less strenuous level to fit their needs. The class meets three times a week and each class focuses on a different area of the body and different ways of exercising using all kinds of equipment including weights, bands, balls, ropes, BOSU balance trainers, sand bags, sliders, plates, bars, etc. The participant can sit on a chair or balance ball, stand or be on the floor. It is never boring.
The class has always had great instructors but the current instructor (Courtney) is exceptional. She works very hard to change up each section of the class. Not only does that prevent the class from becoming boring, it is better for the body. As I said in my first review, she is the reason I am trying to stay at Strive.
If you decide to join Strive, make your own decision about how you want to exercise. If classes are your thing, try them out! If classes aren't your thing, great! You'll fit in at Strive!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Up until the last month or so, I have been happy with Strive. I have been a member in that building for almost 7 years (this is the third gym that has occupied the space in 7 years). When Rob bought it I was pleased because he seemed to be upgrading and maintaining the equipment and facility better than before. However, in his 2nd year of ownership, it became clear he did not like or support group exercise (Les Mills, "free-style" classes, etc). This was evidenced by his telling new members not to take part in group exercise. In the last month and a half, with no advanced warning to classes, he has taken the group exercise room and completely transformed it into GSO Cross Fit. The Group Exercise class members eventually heard that the cross training equipment would occupy 1/2 of the room but now that it is finished, it takes up the entire room. Not only is the flooring not conducive to group classes, he has made sure cross training was scheduled over some group exercise classes that have been meeting for 8+ years.
If you are interested in group exercise, JOIN ANOTHER GYM! If you are an adult in the 30+ year old range, JOIN ANOTHER GYM! Rob doesn't want you there. The Google reviews come from the 30- year old range (so take them with a grain of salt).
The only reason I stay is that I have wonderful instructors for the classes available now. Otherwise I would be gone. Come to think of it, the instructors I love teach at other gyms! Maybe it's time to leave and take others with me!
I gave this gym 1 star because it wouldn't take my post without it. In reality, I would not give it any part of a star.

I joined Strive on Sept 1st, after nearly 30 years of various gym memberships. Through my 20's and 30's I went through cycles of powerlifting and bodybuilding, never focused on mobility or flexibility, so as I got into my 40's my body began to break down, back, neck and shoulder issues and about 50 pounds of weight gain followed. My efforts to maintain fitness over the past decade have been futile. I had spent the past year doing crossfit, but I found my lack of mobility, flexibility and cardio endurance set me up for failure and more injury. I met Dr. John Davidson (amazing PT Dr. and he introduced me to Rob and Strive. Strive is truly a unique gym, part globo gym, part personal training gym, with the functional fitness focus of crossfit. For less that a typical crossfit membership you get specialized semi private trading sessions by Rob and his team of trainers who do more than run you through a program, they get to know you as a person, get to understand you, your specific goals and help you get real results.
It has been 6 weeks, and while it's not been easy, I have seen more results, physically and emotionally than I have in the past 10 years of trying on my own. I am down 1 pant size, I am developing healthy lifestyle driven eating habits, and I enjoy getting up each morning and working out. I drive 20 minutes from Oak Ridge to get there.
I can't recommend Strive enough. Rob and his staff are the real deal, you won't find a better gym experience anywhere at any cost!

They really try to keep mixing it up and get new equipment in frequently. One of the few gyms in town that supports power lifting/ strength training with squat racks and deadlifting platforms. They also have a nice area for stretching or HIIT and their trainers are very nice. You won't find a lunk alarm here!

I signed up for the 7 day trial and I was so pleased with the gym that I started my membership today! So far, I am extremely pleased! I love how the members are from all stages of the fitness journey and the staff/trainers are so positive and motivational. AND the people at the front desk greet members by their name. How cool is that?!
