An absolute first rate operation; I cannot recommend the Workhouse enough. From first point of contact, Coach Robbie is the ultimate professional in getting you on board. I have never experienced anything close to "spam" noted in another review. This is science-based, functional fitness from accredited professionals who seek only to help you improve and man have I seen improvement since starting here. All the coaches are honest, helpful and encouraging. The training is intentional and consistently good. The cross section of people is great, varied and supportive. Highly recommend.
I recently moved to Winston-Salem from California and was looking for a gym that felt like home. The Workhouse exceeded every expectation. It’s hands down the best gym I’ve ever been a part of. The Workhouse apart is that it’s family owned and operated, and you can feel that the moment you walk in. It’s not just a gym — it’s a community. People actually know your name, support you, and want to see you succeed. The programming is top-notch and accessible to all skill levels, whether you’re brand new to fitness or have been training for years. The coaches are knowledgeable, encouraging, and genuinely care about proper movement and long-term progress — not just pushing you through a workout. Since joining, I’ve met an incredible group of people and built real connections. It’s rare to find a gym that balances serious training with a welcoming, inclusive environment, but The Workhouse does exactly that. If you’re new to the area or just looking for a place where fitness and community truly come together, I can’t recommend The Workhouse enough.
I’ve been going to Workhouse for a year now, and it has been awesome! The coaches are great and the programing is well thought out. You can really feel yourself getting stronger as you continue to show up. I also love how they make tracking progress simple and tangible—it keeps you motivated and makes strength exercise fun with clear goals. Workhouse is great for any stage of a fitness journey, whether you are getting in shape, enjoy lifting heavy, or building strength to compliment other sports. I would recommend Workhouse to anyone looking for a new gym!
I recently switched to The Workhouse Fitness after years of going to LA Fitness every morning by myself. Even though I showed up consistently, I wasn’t getting the results I wanted. And honestly, there were plenty of mornings I didn’t push myself as hard as I could have. But here, there’s nowhere to hide. You’re in a small group with 3–4 other people giving 110%, and you can see 15 more people at other stations going just as hard. The energy in the room makes you push yourself to get the absolute most out of every workout. Robbie and the entire staff have been incredible. They encourage me, challenge me with heavier weight, and correct my form so I’m doing everything the right way. My experience over the past couple of months has been even better than I expected. Yes, it costs more than LA Fitness, but if you’re serious about getting in the best shape of your life, it’s worth every penny.
I absolutely love this gym it is freaking amazing. The coaches are FANTASTIC. The members are so friendly and it’s so easy to make friends. The programming is very safe, engaging, and hard in all the right ways! The gym is always super clean. It’s family owned and operated. I love it here. The workhouse is home.
