I informed O2 Fitness — starting in 2023 — that I have an active DVPO and that my ex, who was later convicted of felony assault, and my account was not to be attached to his. They assured me the information was documented. It was not. My account was re-linked to his at some point without my consent, and I was then told I needed to “upgrade” my membership because of a request to separate our profiles. Management later admitted my account had been detached and then “reattached along the way,” but failed to properly explain the additional costs since they reopened as a premium location, which is deeply concerning.

A facility that promotes itself as “family friendly” should at minimum be able to maintain accurate, documented notes about a member’s safety concerns — especially when related to domestic violence. Complete lack of accountability and clearly value the wrong members.

From the moment I walked into this gym Olivia went above and beyond to help me settle in, I felt incredibly welcomed and comfortable , which isn’t always easy when you’re starting somewhere new. The staff overall were friendly, supportive, and took the time to show me around and make sure I felt at ease. The atmosphere is very clean , positive and motivating, and everyone I’ve met has been so encouraging. I actually look forward to coming in! I’m really glad I joined , this gym will definitely make a difference in my confidence and overall fitness journey. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a new gym experience.

overweight male manager yelled at me making a big scene and threatened to call the police for vaping far away from people. was apparently following me around while not in uniform.

always busy; not enough equipment for the amount of people. same exact equipment as any basic planet fitness type gym for 8x the price and 1/2 the operating hours.

I did a 1-month membership, and did the personal training option with Shane. Shane was so kind and easy to work with. He took time to listen to my goals, and created a plan accordingly. He listened during workouts, and was able to adjust quickly and easily if a move was casting pain or discomfort. Given the chance to have an in-person trainer again, I’d happily reach back out to Shane.
The facility itself is also extremely clean, machines were always in working order, and there was a wide variety of machines, free weights, cardio equipment, classes, etc…

Visited from Raleigh 11:30-2. Favorite O2 location I’ve been to. Clean, organized and enough space. Katherine at the front desk was friendly and walked me directly to the studio I was looking for. Locker rooms were spotless. Nothing was out of place on the turf. Love the lay out. Gentle yoga with Steve was perfect. AC in the mind body studio had no issues. Staff were constantly doing walkthroughs as well as another staff person vacuuming. I appreciate the staff’s work to make everyone’s experiences top notch.

Reese is top notch. So glad I got paired up with him at a personal trainer. He's exactly the kind of person I needed to get my weight loss journey started and get back to a healthy lifestyle. He’s listens to your goals, comes up with a custom plan for you and is a great motivator. If you’re looking to make some positive life changes, I highly recommend at the very least sitting down with Reese to discuss your goals.

I joined O2 for the yoga classes and have stayed for the same reason. I go to 2-3 classes weekly. Katherine’s “mindful Monday” class is a good way to ease into the week and was a great re-entry point for me after a long hiatus from yoga. Lisa’s Wednesday afternoon class is excellent, challenging without being inaccessible. Melanie’s Wednesday evening class is the most challenging of the three- the poses aren’t difficult but she holds them for a while to really build strength.

I’m keeping it at 5 stars because the instructors are great, but management should know that it’s awkward to make staff and instructors ask for reviews.

Steve Unger’s yoga class has been of great benefit to me. I admire the way that he works with everyone in the class, where they are.

DO NOT USE THiS GYM. Do not sign anything. I cancelled my subscription over the phone with front desk staff and months later they keep harassing me stating I owe them money for months I wasn't even in town anymore, made several calls and e-mails were sent explaining the situation. Today I received a phone call from a collections company about this unresolved issue demanding payment of the debt. For real guys !!! Hope something is done about the fine print in these forms that are like fly traps. You are loosing business acting like that. DO NOT JOIN THIS PLACE.
It’s very pathetic and unethical that they, the gym and staff wont communicate among themselves and look after their patrons. Acting so desperate like starving sharks in a world that is evolving towards Quality assurance and Customer Satisfaction instead. Gym facilities are neat but their policies and customer service are the worse . Glad for what I’ve seen in social media that more gyms and services alike are opening in the area. DO NOT USE THIS PLACE.

Since I have not done yoga in many years, I enjoyed beginning again in a class taught by Melanie at O2 Fitness at Independence. It was well paced for someone who had not done yoga in awhile.The instructions were clear and it was obvious she had prepared for the class for which she was teaching. Her encouragement to class members was personalized and made you feel like you were succeeding with the various poses asked of you. As always, after a yoga class, you feel like you have stretched and strengthened your muscles to begin your day!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I’ve been a member of **O2 Fitness** for about 8 months now, and I can confidently say it’s one of the best gyms I’ve ever joined. The facility is **immaculately clean**, the **equipment is top-notch and well maintained**, and the **energy is so positive** — everyone is friendly, welcoming, and genuinely happy to be there.

What has truly transformed my experience, though, is working with my **incredible trainer, Eugene Shimono**. As someone who’s always prioritized fitness and wellness, I thought I had a solid routine — but Eugene has taken it to a whole new level.

As a business coach, I understand the value of accountability, but Eugene goes above and beyond. He has not only helped me achieve amazing physical results, but he’s also helped me work through an injury with knowledge, patience, and care — which has improved dramatically under his guidance. His professionalism, encouragement, and ability to keep me focused have been a game changer in my life.

If you’re looking for a place to get strong, stay motivated, and feel supported every step of the way — O2 Fitness and Eugene Shimono** are an unbeatable combo. I’m so grateful to be part of this gym and to have Eugene in my corner!

I have been working with personal trainer extraordinaire Eugene Shimono for awhile now. My fitness goals were to increase strength and balance in order for me to travel abroad to both cycle in Holland and hike the Scottish Highlands with more strength, coordination, endurance safely with higher energy level to heighten my overall experience.
Eugene created a very effective fitness plan to meet my goals.
He is very knowledgeable about body mechanics, muscle development, works you hard but within a range where you will not injure yourself. You can feel his passion for imparting his knowledge and expertise in working a session and holds you accountable…..which I need!

I can’t emphasize enough how incredible my experience has been receiving personal training from Lorrie. Over the course of our time working together, I’ve lost 30 pounds TWICE with her help. She has supported me through some of the most challenging times in my life, when my confidence was at its lowest as well as postpartum.

She’s not just about physical results—she’s helped me achieve mental and emotional goals as well. Her support goes beyond the gym, consistently reinforcing my belief in myself and motivating me to push further. Even on days when I show up feeling unmotivated, she knows exactly how to get me to give my best. Thanks to her, I’ve reached goals I never thought were possible.

She is truly the definition of excellence in everything she does. If you’re looking for a trainer who not only helps you transform physically but also empowers you mentally, look no further—she is absolutely the best. I am so grateful for her and can’t recommend her highly enough!

In the 14 months that we have been working together, he has helped me, with encouragement & intelligence & candor, to become everything I am here and trying for. Letting me know he believes in me and my commitment to getting fit. He has taught me so much already, and continues too make sure that I know proper form, proper equipment use, EVERYTHING I need know to work out on my own as well as when we are working together. I have traded fat for muscle. I have lost inches. I am stronger. I am healthier. It feels freaking awesome. Thank you Shane! Shout out to all the people I've met and know at o2 fitness!

I don't usually write reviews, but I am compelled to about Eugene Shimono. I'm a 67-year-old female that started training with Eugene in September of 2024, after working with other trainers.

The amount of strength training experience and knowledge Eugene brings to the table has far exceeded my expectations of what a trainer is! I have definitely gained visible muscle tone since working with him, but I have also gained more knowledge of muscle anatomy from his training among other things such as nutrition and mindset.

Eugene is 100% engaged with each session and I always feel he has my best interest in mind. Never do I get bored because he is always changing up the routines. He shows up on time at every session with a plan. If I'm having difficulty with part of a routine, he is quick to change it to something I can easily adapt to. DONT get me wrong he's not easy...he will PUSH YOU, but with an understanding of what your limits are.

Eugene has a great work ethic, is encouraging and motivating. Never have I walked away from a session disappointed! I feel very fortunate to have the chance of meeting him and working with him.

I would encourage anyone, no matter what your level of training, to book a session with him.

all of a sudden O2 doesn't accept service through insurance then they wanna charge an astronomical amount for a gym that is dusty, crusty, and smells like the bottom of a shoe and doesn't even offer anything like towel service or any massage chairs! totally unreasonable!

Shane V as a personal trainer will truly push you past what you think your limit is. I’ve seen myself get the gAAAAAins with him. He is respectful, kind, understanding, and sooo knowledgeable in many aspects. He listens, understands, and gives you a workout that fits YOU! He helped me gain confidence on machines I usually would never consider.

AM staff—with Joe, Dylan and Julia? Greets me with a smile and by name! Even at the earliest hours of the gym opening.

PM staff? This afternoon I walked in with a friend who is on a guest pass and the girl behind the desk (Olivia) might as well have treated me like a second class citizen— in a gym I’ve been paying to go to for years.

She checked in my (male) friend who was on the 21-day pass with no issues, was polite.

When it came to me? Couldn’t have been anymore rude, antagonistic and unwelcoming. Even my friend on the guest pass made an unsolicited comment about how unfriendly and rude she was to me. Really put a damper walking into the gym on an otherwise great day.

Friendly advise to said “staff”: You have one job. Don’t take your unwillingness or inability to partake in it out on PAYING CUSTOMERS.

Gym gets three stars on this one because I don’t believe in cutting down an entire business based on an few of the rude female staff members. If you haven’t picked up on it— yes there is a theme with the way I’ve been treated, mostly by female desk staff. Kind of off putting honestly.

I have several problem areas that I need to be careful of and he is very understanding and patient with me, but also pushes me to do things that I didn’t think I could do. The club also has a very nice environment and all the staff are very friendly.

I cannot recommend the personal training enough! Shane Valentine has helped me completely change my life!

Six months ago I was told I had to lose a little weight by my doctor, he suggested I get started at a gym.

I decided I wanted to get a personal trainer. It has been YEARS since I worked out. I have a VERY bad back and I needed someone who knew how to safely modify my workouts.

I showed up and met Shane Valentine. He is an incredibly knowledgeable person. He is able to create routines for me, exercises that don't hurt me, he knows what movements with be best for me.

Six months later I showed up to my doctor's appointment and I have lost 10 lbs. He said I look so much better and my blood work has improved. My heart has improved and my blood pressure is now down to normal levels.

Shane has been an incredible motivator. He truly cares about me and wants to see me succeed. He is encouraging. But also knows how much to push me on the different days.

I wouldn't have improved without the motivation of my weekly appointments with Shane.

I feel so much better physically and mentally.

I just renewed for another six months of personal training. 💪

O2 Fitness is the best place for working out. I have enjoyed it since my first day. Every employee there is professional and kind and that makes feel at ease as I am usually an introvert. The staff and other members give me positive vibes.
I would like to say a special thanks to Joe Kent whom seems to be ever present there and always welcomes me with a handshake and a smile,
Y’all are great!

Will charge you an annual fee without telling you. Then, will not tell you that you have to pay for an entire year regardless if you want to or not, and when you try to cancel cause you’re a disabled veteran, they won’t and keep charging you

I’ve been a member of O2 fitness for over six years and have had five trainers throughout that time. Eugene has been absolutely the best trainer I’ve ever had. Eugene listens, modifies the exercises, extremely knowledgeable, professional and lastly but not least he has a sense of humor. The staff overall are very friendly and they appreciate chocolate chip cookies. The facility is well equipped, well maintained and the cleanliness of the facility is top notch. My standards are very high and I would recommend O2 fitness to anyone looking to join a gym or get in shape!

I would like to thank one of the front desk employees named Joe for his exceptional service and welcoming introduction to this gym. As soon as I walked through the door, Joe greeted me and made sure to do his best with explaining the signup process.

Joe made this process very easy and quick so I could go ahead and start my workout. Thank you Joe for your professionalism and positivity. You’re awesome!

They offer a variety of fun classes. Body Pump with Gorden, and Define and Chisle with Liz are especially great choices. And when you enter the gym, Joe welcomes you with a smile and great energy.

Today, I stopped in at the 02Fitness on Independence in Wilmington,North Carolina to get my membership through my insurance. The two women at the desk where you first walk in were very courteous and respectful to me. They helped me sign up to meet with a personal trainer. A nutrition specialist. They answered all of my questions with a smile and wished me a late happy birthday because my birthday was on Monday Labor Day. The gym and equipment were very nice and clean. And I noticed after someone uses the equipment they are courteous enough to wipe it down clean with sanitizer so the next person could use it. The whole place is very grade A to me. I love it. I’m going to do my first work out tomorrow after I get up. I’m actually very excited to be going to such a state of the art gym. The equipment is up to date. You can connect your IPhone to the equipment and listen to music or listen to the instructor on the screen if that makes you feel more comfortable. So if you are ready to get in shape now with the best equipment available. Go to a 02 Fitness gym. I almost guarantee you’ll like it better than the gym your at now. Everything is included in the gym nothings off limits because you didn’t sign up for a gold or platinum membership. Like at Planet fitness! Don’t wait until the new year to make this a New Year’s resolution to get into shape. Do it now. I guarantee you this. You won’t regret it!
Stephen Williams,
02 Fitness independence

Just signing up. Olivia was AWESOME finalizing the details. Fantastic experience. Thx! A week later...I have attended 2 classes. 1 I stayed for, a yoga class, 1, I stayed about 7ish minutes, a Pilates. Neither of these I feel, were senior oriented. I was the most elderly person there (70)yo. I don't feel ill get much benefit w classes not geared to older folks. Am I looking at wrong classes? I'm looking for ones I'm able to attend due to my work schedule.

Great gym with excellent equipment. This review is specifically in favor of instructor Tim Mills. Took Zumba with him and while all the Zumba classes are fun, Tim’s class was amazing! He breaks down the steps so you can follow the choreography easily. He incorporates both low/high impact moves and shows modifications for all levels. Other instructors tend to just dance and let you follow along. This works, but Tim’s method makes it easier to get into the groove right away. The hour flew by and at the end I was drenched with sweat but hadn’t even noticed I had been working hard. That’s how awesome Tim Mills’ class was. If you see him on the schedule, don’t miss your chance to dance with Tim!
