1412 Barclay Pointe Blvd #1002, Wilmington“Change the Game is amazing!! Working with Grant Bishop helped me significantly and put me on the right path to continue improving my golf game. They have top notch technology that helps while training. The training is very specific to your needs and I am very glad I worked with Grant.”
“This CrossFit gym has a great group of coaches and members. It feels more like a community than a group of strangers working out. Prices are more than fair, and the owner communicates changes clearly and effectively.”

8528 Market St, Wilmington“I have always been intimidated by “CrossFit” I en envisioned flipping tires and jumping on tall boxes with large weights… I’m 66 years old and that was scary. I saw an Ad for Essential CrossFit and decided to go see what they had to say. I was sure it would be another time I’ve paid for memberships and never went. I met with Ann and Beth and asked me to trust them with my getting healthy journey . Well I have , it was the best decision I have ever made ! They literally motivated me and helped me find a new belief in myself . This August will be a year for me, they delivered what they promised.The nutrition program they offer is second to none . I look good I feel good and with these coaches by my side I will continue to be dedicated my journey to complete wellness! Thank you Ann, Beth and all the amazing coaches at Essential CrossFit”

7223 Market St, Wilmington“24 Fit is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It's a small, friendly gym. With excellent staff, and great equipment. It's very reasonably priced, with no contracts or extra fees. There is indoor and outdoor workout space. And a shower if you need it. They also have personal training as well. It's conveniently located in the heart of Ogden right off of Market Street near Middle Sound Loop Road.”
“I attend Monika’s barre class on Tuesdays and define class on Thursdays. She always makes the classes challenging and fun. She is always adding new and effective exercises. She is the best instructor!!!!”
“I absolutely live 9round and rave about it to everyone I meet. The workouts and super fun and challenging (in a good way), and I love that they change every single day so it never gets boring.It is the only gym/workout I have been able to be consistent in and my favorite part is that there are no class times and I can workout whenever it’s convenient for me - so I have been going 5-6x/week.The owners and the trainers are absolutely amazing as well. They hold me accountable and keep me motivated. I am also now in the best shape of my life and stronger than ever!! Again, highly recommend!!!”
“This gym is perfect! I’m in town for vacation with the family and this is the perfect spot for a week of lifting out of town. I’ve never had the pleasure of meeting Jason the owner in person, but his customer service has been nothing short of perfection over the phone. Definitely give Muscleworx a shot!”
“I've been at CFCB for almost two years, and I absolutely love it. The coaches are amazing, the atmosphere is welcoming and encouraging, and I've made some wonderful friends. It has made my life better in so many ways. But, before starting, I was a bit of a skeptic- both of crossfit and myself. My husband began going to CFCB about a year before I did, and I used to question my ability to ever do the workouts that he talked about. At that time, I was unmotivated to exercise, occasionally going for a run but not maintaining any consistency. I had never lifted any kind of weight and didn't know how to begin. I was completely out of energy by the afternoon, got sick often, and had neck and back problems. One day I had had enough and decided to try it. Now, I cannot wait to get to the gym at 5:00. It is one of the best parts of my day, and despite the suck factor of the WODs, I always leave energized, empowered, encouraged and eager for more. I rarely get sick. My overall health has drastically improved. I eat better. I sleep better at night. I have more energy for the next day. My neck and back do not hurt anymore, and my need for the chiropractor has significantly decreased. Instead, I feel strong and healthy. I've realized that I can do things I didn't think were possible. I love the competition, both with myself and the white board. I love the feel of a barbell in my hands and the stress relief it provides. Just walking into the building makes me feel better because I know the next hour is going to help do all of these things. If you want to make an awesome change in your life, this is the place to be.”
“I started going to Fitness Together in NBPT three years ago when I was diagnosed with osteoporosis. The trainers worked with me to design a program to increase my bone mass and overall fitness. My doctor has been amazed at the results. Special shout out to trainers Brian and Drew for their help.”

2737 Castle Hayne Rd, Wilmington“Crossfit Wilmington is the absolute BEST CrossFit gym. From day 1 I was made to feel right at home. Very welcoming energy and environment. The owners remembered me from my drop in (my boyfriend & I did a couple drop ins around town to find the gym we wanted to become members at, but none compared) and I felt so cared for & like they wanted me to be there because they just love people. Other gyms we tried weren’t as welcoming. They welcomed me and my boyfriend with wide open arms and we have been members with them now for 4 months and have made SO much progress. The programming is AMAZING and fun and they incorporate the fun cool things that attracted me to CrossFit but they help you scale and progress and genuinely want to see you improve. I couldn’t do a handstand to save my life when I started or climb a rope… now I can. The confidence the coaches instill in you is unmatched. The WODS are fun and challenging in a way that helps you grow & you will feel proud after. The coaches are THE MOST SUPPORTIVE, informed, kind, caring, & empowering coaches in town. I can’t say enough good things about the coaches Christine, Jamie, Tanner, Kelsey & Kalen. & the members too! So kind & embracing. They will cheer you on until you get something and it’s the greatest feeling when the whole gym is rooting for you. Their community partner WODS every Saturday are also a must. I love that they care so much about the community & their members. It doesn’t matter if your brand new or experienced they help you & support you and answer your questions and address your concerns. If you’re looking for a gym this is the one!!!”
“As a visitor in town for a beach vacation, SeaCoast was amazing for drop ins! Reasonable rates, amazing facility, great coaching, and friendly community. Highly recommend!”
10:30AM - 1PM
6500 Windmill Way E-2, Wilmington“I’m newer to the gym, but I can tell you this; the incredibly friendly and kind atmosphere of the gym (and everyone in it) had me sold on the spot. Every single person I have bumped into has been kind and welcoming, the instructors are all knowledgeable not only in their specialties but also in their ability to teach to each athlete in the way that they best learn. The gym is clean, spacious, and filled to the brim with great coaches and athletes.”
8AM - 12PM
3301 Masonboro Loop Rd #103, Wilmington“I was very leary to join a gym but 9rounds appealed to me immediately and i couldn't wait to start working out there. The workouts are always different and that keeps it interesting. You feel the energy as soon as you walk in. The trainers are incredible! They encourage you, train you and educate you. I have learned so much and i am grateful to be a member at 9rounds!”

6800 Parker Farm Dr, Wilmington“Amazing staff at OTF, just passed my 100 workout and did my first Dri-tri at 58. Don’t know how they do it, but in addition to being so motivational they greet you by name!”
Open 24 hours
6500 Windmill Way E-1, Wilmington“I absolutely loved my time at PCSP - coming from collegiate athletics it was difficult to find a similar atmosphere but PCSP matched that above and beyond. It’s a great environment with great equipment and coaches that is built for athletes to succeed. Couldn’t recommend it more!”
“Visited Wilmington for work & I came across this gym on google, so I decided to drop in because of the location.
The best decision I could have made. I ended up buying the 10 class pack after my initial visit. The coaches that stood out to me was Coach Brynn & Coach Steph. The members were very welcoming & was willing to answer any question I had if a coach wasn’t available.
Next time I’m in Wilmington, I will definitely buy another class pack.”
7AM - 7PM
1315 Independence Blvd, Wilmington“Super knowledgeable staff, and very friendly, which makes it easy to get started on the right path. Personal Trainers are great as well! I had Julia as my trainer for a little over 2 months and she was fabulous. I learned a lot from her and she kept me motivated the whole time. Highly recommend.”
7AM - 12PM
6934 Market St, Wilmington“I've had a gym membership for the last 2 years that I've never used because the weight area overwhelmed and intimidated me. Sooo many machines and so many people knowing exactly what they needed to get done and then there was me... not wanting to get sucked into a contract with a personal trainer that I didn't know/like and also not wanting to only do cardio - I discovered PEAK. I am obsessed with their group workouts but I've seen them do their 1:1 coaching too and will hopefully get there one day. Cancel the big gym, come here instead. 10/10 would recommend.”
“Burn Bootcamp is great! I did the 7 day trial and had to become a member because of the great experience I had. The trainers challenge you, correct your form, and encourage you. The environment is energetic, positive, and fun. There is not judgement from other members instead they cheer you on. It doesn’t matter where you are starting physically the trainers work with you to get you to where you want to be.”
Open 24 hours
7122 Market St Suite 120, Wilmington“I've been a member at 9Round for five years now and I'm always disappointed if I have to miss a morning workout. It's fun and challenging and only 30 minutes out of your day! LOVE the trainer drill! I always leave with a smile on my face!”
Open 24 hours
5019 Carolina Beach Rd, Wilmington“Simply the best coaches, community, and work outs in the Wilmington area. My wife and I joined this gym as complete CF newbies about 2 years ago when we first moved to Wilmington and it has been one of the best decisions we've made. MJCF has given us foundational and functional fitness that we've taken to a myriad of new hobbies and has given us a true community that we love!”
“Based on the price ($65 a year for WLM residents), sizable number of racks (6), and good variety of boxing equipment (speed, double-end, and two heavy bags), and friendly staff, the gym is perfect, especially for those who don't need much to achieve/maintain their fitness/boxing goals/skills. However, the only downside is that the space, aisles and racks, can get crowded around 5 pm. Also, hours are somewhat inconvenient for those who work extended hours.”
“The trainers at go girl fitness are truly amazing! If you are looking to get fit, gain strength, and become confident, Go girl fitness is the place for you. Very clean gym too!”
“After spending time at the beach, my friends and I couldn't change at the beach cause it was packed, so we thought maybe we ask if we could change since we're members. The young lady was so sweet and said that we could. Very appreciative of the worker.”
Open 24 hours
202 N Water St, Wilmington“Thanks Jamie for helping me out today! I was visiting Wilmington and was looking for a place to work out. It looked like everyone was having a lot of fun in the classes. I’ll definitely stop by if I’m in town again.”
“Great facility, very clean/tidy - has everything you could need for your work out! Friendly, welcoming staff! Owner/head coach, Shawn, is professional, motivating, and dedicated to his members’ success! Highly recommend Rise Fitness Studio!”
“I went with a group of six friends and had Garreth as our instructor and we had the time of our lives! Such a great staff, everyone was so friendly and kind, the space was clean and inviting. We all loved it and our instructor, Garreth was such a great instructor! Very friendly kind and welcoming.”
“I couldn’t rave this studio more! Lynn is such an amazing instructor and has made me feel so welcome and comfortable. All of the classes are so fun and have helped me mentally and physically in such a short time already!! My favorite is piloxing, 10/10 would recommend!!!”
“Total game changer! I wish I knew about OTF sooner! I signed up as soon as I completed an ORANGE 60 min trial class. I had never experienced anything like this program. My membership is OTF South, but I can go to any location, which is fabulous if traveling! It’s so easy to book classes via the app (by the way—the app has so many other AMAZING features that help you track your fitness). Every class is filled with happy, focused, down-to-Earth members—including a certified coach and a friendly front desk associate. OTF provides the workout, which means minimal brain activity on your part, other than making sure you are giving your best effort. If you purchase the arm band, you can monitor your activity throughout the workout (and it even records this activity in your app). Each class follows a pretty consistent plan that makes it easy to catch on to and helps you feel prepared when you arrive. Floor/rep exercises are always modeled by your coach and displayed on a screen. Let me emphasize that again—you ALWAYS have a coach ready to model, help you stay on track, motivate you and push you to your fullest potential, and give you helpful pointers to ensure your movements are safe so that you don’t get injured. You never feel “alone” or confused in a class, and if you do, just ask for help. To top it all off, the music playlist NEVER disappoints (you might catch yourself singing and dancing, but remember to breathe in and breathe out to keep that heart rate in the right place). I can promise you this, you will always want to show up and will never get bored! Each class is unique and so much fun! Why haven’t you already checked it out?? Get on it! The best time to start is now!”
