I have been a member of Sun House Fitness for over 2 years and I absolutely recommend this space for anyone who wants to get stronger and healthier! The owner of the studio is super knowledgeable and always makes his training sessions and fitness classes challenging, yet adaptable for each person’s unique level and needs. The other trainers and instructors there are also excellent, and the whole community is warm, welcoming and inspirational.

Sunhouse Fitness is hands-down my favorite place to train! I love the structure of the workouts—they’re challenging, thoughtfully designed, and always keep me engaged. The trainers do an amazing job encouraging me to lift heavier while making sure I’m moving safely and with good form. On top of that, the community is warm, welcoming, and incredibly supportive. It’s a place where you feel motivated, empowered, and part of something special. Highly recommend to anyone looking to get stronger in a positive, encouraging environment!

What a great experience for my two sons! As a Mom and pediatrician, I wanted to find a place that encourages healthy living without pushing my boys into "weightlifting" too early. This has been such a great addition to our routine. The boys are excited to go to class and they return home well informed on how to work out properly. So glad we found this gem in Wilmington.

I had been looking for a boot camp style place and drove by Sun House Fitness and gave them a call. Frank was personable and knowledgeable. He wasn’t pushy or made me feel any pressure to join. He offered a trial session to check it out and I found his teaching style to fit me where I am on my fitness journey. Since signing up in May, I’ve taken a variety of the classes offered and have enjoyed the mix of workouts and trainers. Being over 50 means that I need to focus on strength training as I age but with workouts that can be modified to fit my injuries/recoveries. I’m very impressed with the quality of the workouts but also the caring environment. You feel like everyone here is rooting for each other.

Sunhouse fitness is fantastic! Frank (the owner) genuinely cares about your fitness and the other trainers are great as well. 10/10 recommend if you are looking for a group based (or private) gym to attend.

I just went to kitten yoga, a fundraiser for a Wilmington cat rescue that Sunhouse Fitness hosted. It was a hilarious practice of non-attachment and allowing things to unfold as they are, into kitten chaos. The calm music did not make them any less playful 😂. The teacher was the model of gentle patience. This treasure of a gym donated every penny to the charity.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND - whether you are just beginning or an anvid exercise enthusiast this gym offers elite access to a professional trainer and small group workouts that are both powerful and fun. The energy is light and the outcomes are exactly what I was looking for in a workout. Appropriate for all ages, too! Just the right amount of encouragement and support I need at this stage of my life. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

I was looking for a personal trainer, and when I attended kitten yoga at Sun House Fitness, I was prompted to ask about their services. Frank remembered me when I met him for a more 'formal' talk about his services- which was very comforting- knowing it was a small gym and I wouldn't get lost in a field of others working out. He set me up with Abby for a free session to get a feel for the place and I really enjoyed it. I can't say enough about Sun House Fitness and Abby- with whom I've been training. She's great, super friendly and knows her stuff. I love that it's not your typical gym- classes are kept small; typically it's just me and Abby when I have a session with her- which puts me at ease with no one watching and I get undivided attention. About kitten yoga... Frank really loves giving back to the community and that also was a plus for me! His words to me- 'If it doesn't feel right for you to join (Sun House Fitness), I'd still like to talk with you about a fundraiser for your non-profit.' I didn't feel pressure to join and because I really liked his style and gym, I found a way to make it work and don't regret it!

If you’re looking for a welcoming, professional and clean place to do group strength, cardio and yoga classes, definitely check out Sun House Fitness! The group classes are small so you receive a lot of individual assistance, unlike many larger gyms. When I joined I had never felt confident going to the gym, but the owner Frank is extremely kind and knowledgeable so will help you gain confidence in no time! He also genuinely cares about his members and recognizes all of their milestones :)

I joined Sun House Fitness a little over a month ago and I have already seen improvement in my motivation to transform my aging body. Menopause and a long work commute added 25 lbs to my 5’5” frame. For the past 15 years, I’ve tried every diet and would get easily frustrated if I didn’t see results within 3 weeks. Then, I would throw in the towel and blame myself for lack of discipline. My neighbor introduced me to Frank Prather (the owner of Sun House). Frank sets an inspiring energy at every boot camp class. And if your energy is low, just check out his IG posts for consistent encouragement to get your booty to the gym. He introduces us to workout acronyms like AMRAPs (as many rounds as possible), TABATA (think HIIT: high intensity intervals) and EMOM (ever minute on the minute).
The class will groan when they see what’s posted on his whiteboard for the day’s exercises. But, we all get through it by challenging ourselves and doing what we can! Mind you, if you have limitations (like weak wrists or bad knees), Frank will always provide modifications to the exercise for you. Sun House also offers yoga (I have the worst flexibility but it’s improving) as well as personal training & nutrition.
It’s fun to work out with all ages, male/female with varying degrees of flexibility and strength. Sun House is like family now! Frank celebrates milestones (like your 100th workout) or a birthday shoutout.
Note: if you dislike the bigger gyms, please try Sun House Fitness . You won’t regret it. Sincerely, One Happy Client

For way too long I drove by this place on Carolina Beach Rd without checking it out. My former studio at Monkey Junction had closed post- pandemic and I really missed group workouts with weights and cardio. I'm so glad I found Sunhouse. First of all, the place is immaculate! And the workouts are even better than what I had been doing. I'm a "well-seasoned" (read: over 65) individual and the workouts are challenging, motivating, effective and probably most important for someone my age, they are made safe with carefully considered modifications. Frank, the owner and one of the trainers, designs EXCELLENT workouts that will develop your endurance, strength and cardio. I can't say enough about this little gem of a fitness studio. Highly recommend that you check it out and make it part of your health and fitness journey!

Oh my goodness where do I begin! First off, I have NEVER been a gym before, and I wanted to start going to the gym to not only better myself but to also lose weight. But because I’ve never been before to a gym I didn’t want to just go to a Planet Fitness, or one of those big name gyms, so I did some research, and Sun House Fitness kept coming up. The reviews on this gym were phenomenal and it sounded like just what I was looking for. So I contacted Frank the owner of Sun House Fitness and boy was that THE BEST decision I ever made! Not only did Frank make me feel welcome, but he understood everything I was feeling about going to the gym for the first time. When I went for my consultation the gym was clean and was well kept, and after talking me and Frank decided to do one on one personal training twice a week, because I wasn’t ready for classes, and that I would be training with his brother Casey who is also a personal trainer at Sun House Fitness. It has been a little over a month now, and boy do I feel not only better about myself but where I am headed in my fitness journey! Casey is absolutely AMAZING when I go for my workouts! He pushes me to do better every time, which makes me feel better, and makes me love going to work out! So if you’re looking for classes or personal training look no further Sun House Fitness is the best place to go! I feel so blessed to have found Sun House Fitness, because I feel better about myself and my fitness journey!

Sun House Fitness is an awesome, welcoming gym featuring bootcamp/HIIT classes, yoga and personal training. Classes are challenging and are small enough to get individual attention. The trainers are all phenomenal and so encouraging!

The facilities are clean, well organized, with plenty of room to spread out, aesthetically pleasing with a relaxed beachy vibe and plenty of new, well-maintained equipment. It's a perfect home gym near the intersection of Carolina Beach Rd and Independence Blvd. Check them out on FB & IG, then check them out in person!

New to the area and stumbled across Sun House Fitness on Google looking for a place to workout. I am so glad I found this place! The instructors are awesome and “meet you where you’re at”, but also give you the motivation to push yourself out of your comfort zone!

If you’re looking for a gym that’s not busting at the seams with people in a class and one that’s really focused on helping you achieve your fitness goals, this is the place for you!

I love this gym. The classes challenge me without killing me or my will to work out in the future. Frank (the owner) does a great job assessing your fitness level and working with you to achieve the results you’ve ways wanted. I’m midway through my fitness journey. I’m a working mom in my 40’s. I have lost 30lbs and, more importantly, gained strength working out here. I’m actually excited to see where this journey takes me. And I’m having fun while doing it!

I've been doing personal training with Frank for three months now and added the group class a month ago. I can't speak highly enough of my experience! I've tried joining other fitness programs before but they felt impersonal, and I got hurt because there wasn't enough guidance or recognition of how to ease into things for people who are a) a little older and b) deconditioned. Frank excels at knowing where the sweet spot is for YOU and considering your wants/needs/goals. He's also helping me with nutrition--he's got a great attitude about the realities of life and just the right mix of flexibility and accountability. My strength and fitness have grown exponentially in the last three months, and I look forward to continuing and being fit AND having a high quality of life as I age. Also, if you have any gym trauma please know this is a welcoming and affirming space.

I have been working out with Frank at Sun House Fitness for several months now and I couldn't be happier with the results. I have toned up and feel stronger and more confident in my abilities. Frank is very knowledgeable and always challenges me to push harder, while still keeping safety as a top priority. His workouts are fun and well rounded. I love to start my day with a Boot Camp class and feel accomplished before I even get to work! I've taken a yoga class with Dylan there as well and enjoyed that.

Overall, I highly recommend Sun House Fitness to anyone looking for a fun, supportive, and effective workout with all the mental health benefits. You can tell Frank loves helping others achieve their goals. Try it out - you won't be disappointed!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Where do I begin?! Personal training with Frank and his team of trainers makes me feel so comfortable, so energized, and so strong. Working out comes with emotional baggage for me personally, but never EVER have I been asked an awkward traumatic question, or made to feel anything less than vibrant and capable. I thought I would begrudgingly go only 2-3x a week. But I legit hate non-training days now. I want to go all the time, just to be in the beautiful huge space and ugly sweat with trainers who feel like best friends. And… let’s be honest… I look and feel great. Total game changer for my mental / emotional / physical health. My plus size bod will ROCK the beach this summer. My confidence is insane. And this new gym just FEEELS good. No gimmicks. No ploys to pull you in saying one thing than dropping a commitment bomb on you that takes all your dollars. Just real humans, wanting to help real humans. The end.

Training with Frank at Sun House Fitness has changed my life in a very short time. For years, I felt super intimidated by “training” and gyms. But, when you walk into Sun House, the anxiety just dissipates. The gym is super clean and calm, unlike a chaotic, loud access gym. Frank the trainer is professional, patient, super knowledgeable, but most of all FUN! Franks encouragement gave me the confidence that I needed to bring exercise back into my life, after years and years of making excuses. After one short month, I have made way more progress than I expected, and feel great! The workouts offer a surprisingly great variety, and I am learning so much in the process. My suggestion to anyone even considering taking the first step to starting a fitness routine or exploring working out would be to take a tour of Sun House Fitness and see for yourself how awesome it is!
