Prime is the dynamic fitness experience I've been missing and sets itself apart from other gyms with its approach to fitness that emphasizes group collaboration, motivation, and commitment. Desmond's training and knowledge brings out each person's inner strength and helps you reach YOUR personal goals. You WILL be surprised what you accomplish with each workout. The music makes the atmosphere fun and engaging and the relationships you build keep you coming back. Please check out Prime for yourself if you're looking to elevate your health journey and transform physically, mentally, and holistically.

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.

Couldn’t ask for a better gym. Hands down the best in Durham for a great price. There’s more than enough equipment, a great atmosphere, and everyone that comes in the gym is there to work and get better. Dez is a great owner and greets everyone when they walk in the gym and leave. Alana is an excellent trainer. Definitely recommend Prime, for those who may be searching for a gym home.

Great place to achieve your life goals. I have been a member for approximately 10 months and I have had some major improvements with my body and mind. If you are serious about making changes in your life holistically coming to prime is the best choice. In the past I have worked with other trainers but desmond truly cares about your development and wants to see your body change more than you. If you live in RDU this brother is by far the best trainer period. He will definitely hold you accountable and push but you will also have fun while doing so.

Whether you’re looking for a gym or a family, Prime is the place to be. Des knows every member by name and really pushes the values that the gym stands for— family, commitment, faith, and competition. Blessed to have found the gym and proud to be a member.

I’ve always had a passion for fitness. After finishing up college athletics, I was searching for a place that provided similar energy and after one session I knew this was going to be the gym. The atmosphere, energy and support is unmatched. I love this place, best gym around!

When I first started at Prime with Des, my only goal was to lose weight. Little did I know he was going to push me to limits that I didn’t even know I had in myself. In less than a year, I’ve accomplished so much not only physically but mentally as well. The results are great and I couldn’t have got to this point without his training!

Desmond is a fantastic trainer that really pushes you to your limits. He understand the body so well and can help you out of your comfort zone. He will help you become the best version of yourself inside and out. Highly recommend you check him out as well as the gym if you are looking for a good family and great place to workout!!!

I love this gym and the atmosphere. Always good music to get you ready to work and the family atmosphere is dope.

Best gym experience ever. I started Prime Athletic Training and Fitness Institute by joining the Prime 45 Challenge. I’d seen some amazing results previously. The only goal I set for myself in the beginning was to be able to say “I am free from taking blood pressure medication”. I just wanted to get back to a healthy place. I didn’t have a specific weight in mind or look I just wanted to feel better. I’ve done plenty of challenges before however this challenge was different this atmosphere was different. It exceeded ALL of my expectations. Desmond is a life coach not just a personal trainer. He goes above and beyond to provide the resources and tools needed so that you can be successful on your life journey not just weight loss. This challenge brought out so many different factors. I learned about nutrition and the full benefits of eating right, how to workout properly, being accountable for my health (physical,mental, spiritual and emotional). This challenge CHALLENGED everything. You won’t find that at other gyms. It was unbelievable for me at the end of 45 days that I had accomplished way more than I ever imagined. I lost approx 25lbs. I said good bye to those awful blood pressure pills. I was eating better, sleeping better, had more energy, becoming stronger and had a drive for the gym. It started off as something I needed to do and has become something I want to do. Prime is not your average gym it’s not just a group of people that’s in a building working out. It’s a family that holds one another accountable while having fun doing it. There are no strangers and Desmond is not your average trainer. He’s invested in your health and wellness. PRIME is PRIDE. The group fitness training classes are phenomenal and forces you how to dig deep. If you are on a journey to better yourself and take back control of your health. I can’t stress enough this is the place to be to help you take back charge of yourself and become a better version of you!!! #Prime #PrimeBuilt #Prime45 #Prime90 #PrimeAssault #ClubPrime

This gym is the best!! There is no gym like this one! My prime family is just that, a family! I feel super welcomed walking in and amazingly exhausted when walking out! Desmond is the owner and one of the trainers and he personally talks to everyone at the gym, making sure they are getting the most out of their experience there. You won’t regret being a part of the prime family!!

Prime is hands down the best gym I’ve ever been to! From the time I walk through the door, I’m greeted with friendly faces and warm smiles. Everyone from the staff to the members, motivates me to not only meet my goals but push beyond what I even thought I could do! While every workout I’ve had at Prime has been amazing, my favorite thing about the facility is not the workouts. It's actually the family atmosphere. Even as a new member, I felt like I was working out with people that I had known forever and that I had support through each step of my fitness journey. The trainers aren’t just interested in your physical health but your mental health as well. I couldn’t ask for better service from a gym.

Amazing local gym! The owner, Desmond, is so welcoming & dedicated to the space & members!!

I have been a member of PRIME for the past 5 months. I started with a fitness challenge and very soon after signed up for group personal training. What impressed me the most was Coach D. Scott’s value in ensuring clients understand the rationale behind the various exercises we do, cycling of exercises, and proper form. PRIME is more than showing up, logging in, and checking ‘exercise’ off of the day’s to-do list. Becoming a member of PRIME has transitioned to a way of being. I highly recommend PRIME’s services to those near & afar.
