Joined in March 2025 for some personal training. Great training with Will! He's fantastic and set me on the course for getting myself in shape (35 lbs forgotten). Parking, and overall complex lighting is not great. When there way more daylight, not really an issue. Earlier dark days makes it a bit sketchy. Some members don't follow good gym protocol and remove weights (sometimes in the 100's) off equipment when finished, nor wipe down equipment. Please, for the love of god keep your shirt on, especially if you don't plan on wiping down equipment. There's no 'on-site' management, so if an issue arose, who do I contact? But, all this said, overall I did enjoy my experience and time using the gym. Just moving on to something closer to home where I'll get some weight training in more than 2 times a week. Thanks Will!!

This is truly the best gym that I have ever been to, with the 24-hr access a big plus for those who have lifestyles that don't mesh well with regular gym hours. The equipment here is great with a large variety for all types of training styles, members take ownership over cleaning up after themselves, and the owner is truly passionate about the business. The music is always on and loud, which is awesome for a workout to tune out the rest of the world. I would recommend this gym and every location available for anyone who is serious about their fitness and needs a place to train especially if it's "after hours"...

Response to the owner: IF YOU DIDNT KNOW WHO HE WAS THEN HOW DID YOU HAVE HIS NAME AND PHONE NUMBER TO CALL HIM?????? STOP LYING. PEOPLE CHANGE THEIR NAMES WHEN THEY GET MARRIED, ITS NOT A “FAKE NAME”.
YOURE ONLY INTERESTED IN STEALING MONEY FROM PEOPLE. MY REVIEW IS HONEST AND VALID. ILL PRAY THAT YOU FIND JESUS.

Debated on whether or not to post this, but I have to. Created a membership for myself and my partner. Somehow we got access to different gyms. Should have been the first red flag, but I digress. Started going for a couple of months. The equipment is mid. No one puts back their weights, and there doesn’t seem to be any accountability for that, a lot of the equipment was broken. I know this is a no frills gym, but I at least thought the equipment would be usable. Only went for about 2 months so I can’t say if it was ever fixed. I canceled both memberships in April of 2025, with the understanding that we would pay the month of may, then be done per archetype strength policy. YALL, I AM STILL BEING CHARGED IT IS JULY. I have reached out on numerous occasions to try and get my money back that they STOLE, I had to put a stop payment from my bank to get them to stop charging me. And they are still trying. I spoke with the owner, who assured me my money had been refunded. It’s been almost 2 months, and instead of a refund, they are trying to draft money from my account. That’s the OPPOSITE of a refund. The owner called my partner to scream at him for leaving an honest review. As an owner, it is shameful to call someone who has, at this point, over paid you for your trash equipment, and scream obscenities at them. I tried to handle this matter in private, but the fact that this gym is still trying to take my money has left me no choice. Sign up if you like being taken advantage of.

They still charge you after you paid for an extra month after cancellation. These gym charge you for months after you cancel. The equipment isn’t the greatest either. Don’t get robbed at the gym

Best gym in the area period! I was seeking a new gym that had better equipment and better hours this is the place my new home.

Love this gym space for its multitude of equipment options, from squat racks to landmines to turf and sleds, assault bike, etc..

The vibes are good, and the music is at a reasonable volume that it feels like chill lifting beats (with nostalgic rock n roll vibes)

The owner Steve was super helpful when I goofed and left my water bottle during a day pass. He quickly helped me retrieve it.

I seriously love Archetype Gym! It’s open 24/7, always spotless, and has such an awesome vibe. One of the coolest things? You can change the music! I never felt confident in a gym setting before, but this place completely turned that around for me. If you’re looking for a gym that feels like home, this is it!

This gym has many high quality equipment and overall very clean and well decorated. (The review bombs complaining about the gym being "dirty" are overreacting. And no, a good gym does not need AC.) I enjoy the pitch black paint on the wall with colorful drawings. I love the US military flags they hang on top of the wall. The overall vibe reminds me of my previous powerlifting gym which made me felt at home. You also can play your own music over the loud speaker. Everyone wants that for their PR attempts.

If you are looking for a gym for powerlifting or bodybuilding training. This gym has everything you need. This location offers two (I wish they can have more) Ghost competition racks with amazing benches, three Rogue deadlift platforms, four Rogue monster racks, many Rogue power bars, many Rogue calibrated powerlifting plates, brand new dumbbells goes up to 150 lbs, and more machines than you ever need for your accessory exercises. The gym is also not crowded so you rarely need to wait for a rack or bench. Most importantly they allow chalk, just remember to clean up the bar after your sets. Your membership also gives you 24/7 access to all three of their locations which makes it even better.

I have had nothing but great experiences at Archetype. I am an older adult lifter and I have never felt like I was judged for that. The other members are warm and welcoming. Will- the director of training/personal trainer is a phenom who has found what he was meant to do. I have been trying to advance my abilities for several years and felt I did so in a few months under his guidance.

Me like gym. This one very good and much equipment. Yum.

Seriously though, this is a great place with excellent equipment. This location has a bunch of shiny new stuff, so everything feels great! The air circulation with the fans is better than the other locations and it’s better lit as well. Love working out here!

This is a purpose built hardcore gym setup for powerlifting with some strongman and CrossFit equipment thrown in the mix. Four racks, three platforms, three benches, the highlight reel of Rogue bars and bumper/disc/regular plate offerings, and dumbbells up to 150. The kind of place that is truly open 24/7/365 and you can go without ever having to see staff or the owner. The clientele in general are polite and focused on their own training.
If you went to RTP Fitness before the pandemic and are still looking for that experience, this is the place to be. Hope to see this place expand to more square footage and add more bodybuilding equipment while staying this close to RTP and 540.

Average gym sometimes dirty and not well maintained. However, as a small business owner Steve should know that how he conducts himself reflects on his business, and his extreme unprofessionalism reflects negatively on the gym.

I’ve been a member for a few months now and Steve and his family are the nicest people. They always make sure that members are taken care of and that they have the best equipment. I’ve been to all 3 locations now and they’re all awesome. Don’t hesitate to get a membership.

One of the cleanest, brightest gyms and it literally has everything I need to get in both short and long workout sessions. I’m able to move around and use all the equipment without constantly asking when someone is gonna be done! Love it!
