Their website lacked even the most basic information, so I reached out to ask about their services. Unfortunately, the response confirmed that minimal effort is their standard. I explained that I wasn’t available for phone calls and preferred to communicate via email. Instead of accommodating this, they replied with a one-word message: “phone number.” The tone was dismissive, I sent another explanation hoping to receive even a morsel of the kindness I had given and they stopped responding entirely. I regret trying. Overall, a disappointing and frustrating experience lacking basic professionalism.

Very nice gym, with ample squat racks and deadlift platforms. It has single occupancy bathrooms if that's something you are looking for in your own gym searching. The style of exercise this gym specializes in(body building) does not need safety clips on the weights, and thus they only have a few pairs of them. Over all, I do recommend this gym. Everyone there looks happy to be there and they have great attitudes.

I've been a member of this gym for almost 2 years and I absolutely love it. My trainer Alana is amazing and has changed my life for the better by giving me a new perspective on what being healthy & fit is. Also, the culture that Desmond Scott (owner) has created can't be beat. Prime is a family and I'm a proud member... I have loss almost 40lbs and have gained muscle and strength. I'm definitely healthier since joining.

I joined this gym a couple weeks ago and I'm really happy with it so far. Good variety of equipment and has everything most people would be looking for. I would give it 4.5 stars with a half star docked for their flat benches and no drinking fountains. Flat bench pads are real slick and it makes driving with the legs a little tricky but ultimately it's a small inconvenience that doesn't get in the way of my training. I would recommend this gym to anyone in the Durham area looking for a place to jack some steel & sweat in peace.

My experience with Prime has been amazing! The gym gives off a supportive family vibe. I love that I’m being challenged and pushed to give my all. I enjoy the encouragement from other members and Des. I’ve gone to many gyms and trained with many trainers, but Prime has been the best so far. I recommend this gym to any and everyone.
