The one-on-one coaching is unbelievable here! The trainers are so informative and worked with me to develop a personalized workout plan to achieve my goals.

Great workouts, great people, and all around great vibes at Fit Lab!

Crossfit always sounds like something way to intimidating for your average Joe -- with all the hype and olympian athletes involved. I went with a group from work and our coach Barbara did such an amazing job of coordinating all of us, and showing us some cool skills. She introduced some exercises such as the clean and proper form. All of a sudden you are doing a rigorous workout together in a group, so you dont even realize it. The next morning I felt beat, but great! Thanks Barbara for your coaching and high-energy!

My life was in shambles. Barely able to put on socks or climb a set of stairs without having to stop to catch my breath. Heavily overweight and with my doctor telling me my levels were all over the place, I decided I needed a change.The staff and members at Fit Lab Studios changed my life. I’m now able to run multiple miles at a time, and my mobility has drastically improved. I’ve shed 40lbs. and I feel energized like I haven’t been in years. Having a family of members and coaches at the gym keeps me coming regularly. I can’t thank them enough for giving me my life back!!

I am so incredibly thankful that I landed at 919! Never I have met such a supportive group of people, encouraging everyone during the workout, regardless if it is 1st or last person to finish. The coaches are very knowledgeable and are constantly pushing and helping the athletes grow. The box is a great size with tons of equipment and plenty of room for large classes. You cannot go wrong with this gym!

I have been going to this place from past around 1 month. Coaches are very friendly and knowledgeable. You can never predict what is going to be the next days workout. Each day is different. I have been working out with coach Justin, Faith and Jack. I like them all. I would highly recommend this place to anyone and everyone.

Very good layout, enough to support 2 classes at same time. Instructors take the time to show proper technical movement of each exercise especially if youre new to the program. Great people!!

I have been a member at Southpoint for almost two years. It is an excellent gym with small classes and highly knowledgeable classes. Not to mention the other members are wonderful and help create a fun, positive and welcoming environment. Youll see improvements in all levels of your fitness regardless of where you start from. You wont regret checking this gym out!

Awesome! This place rocks. The owners, the staff and the all the members really make this place great. I have been coming here for almost 2 years. They have a great lunch time class that makes it real convenient to get your workout in and then back to work. Check it out. You will not be disappointed.

Great group of people, top notch equipment and very knowledgable coaches that helped me scale the workout to my ability! I wouldnt go anywhere else!

My daily stop at CrossFit 919 is the highlight of my day. The atmosphere is fun and extremely non-judgey. The coaches are caring, understanding, fun, and cognizant of just how much to push you to ensure you dont become complacent. They will quickly learn your name along with all of the other members. In fact, Ive made some of my most cherished friends in less than a years time at this particular location. I appreciate being able to pay a fee in order to have someone tell me from start to finish exactly what movements to do and how to do them. I will never go back to at home workouts or gym memberships!

Amazing! I’ve been there about a month, and 919 is way more than a gym, it’s a community. There are people of all walks of life, at all levels of fitness, and with a wide range of goals. As someone who’s dealt with a lot of injuries, the coaches have been able to help me modify workouts in a way to get in shape but not exacerbate existing issues. Ive learned a lot. It feels like home. Highly recommend!

The coaches here are beyond awesome! I personally have worked out with the owner and head coach Bea for the past four years and have achieved awesome gains. More than anything the coaching staff along with the members create a welcoming environment that becomes family.

I love the people at this gym. Positive, encouraging atmosphere for all levels of fitness and type of people. Also very knowledgeable coaches

I love working out here. Great atmosphere, very open and encouraging. Workouts are hard but doable. Owners and coaches are very knowledgeable and fun people! The bootcamp workouts will get you in shape like no other workout can!

Community is at the heart of Southpoint CrossFit. Everyone is made to feel welcome regardless of who they are, what their fitness background is, or what goals they might have. Its really impossible to come here without feeling like youre part of something special, and the supportive and fun nature of this gym is what I love the most. Everyone wants to do well and cheer each other on, but theres no intimidating competitive vibe here, and no battle of the egos.Owner and head coach Bea is phenomenal, as are the coaches she brings on. Ive had the pleasure of working out with and being coached by Bea for almost six years now. She encourages everyone to test their boundaries, and because she takes the time to get to know everyone who walks into her gym, its always in a way that makes them feel comfortable and confident in their abilities.

If youre looking to push your physical bounds, challenge yourself, and meet new people, I dont think there is a better place. The coaches at Crossfit 919 have helped push me to improve my flexibility, mobility, and endurance. I recommended it.

Crossfit 919 is full of wonderful, helpful, knowledgeable trainers who really care about you and your individual fitness goals. They always have interesting and challenging workouts planned for my group and its great having coaches that thoroughly explain the movements in an exercise before expecting you to try them. Theyve got a variety of weights and different pieces of training equipment that truly allow them to accommodate to all fitness levels and the trainers are more than happy to modify exercises for those who have mobility issues. The whole gym has a great energy, too; youve got motivational music going, other small group training classes and even individuals training on their own! Ive been really impressed with my increased endurance and strength in just the few short weeks I have been there and look forward to taking more classes!

Great community of Crossfiters. My wife has become stronger and more challenged because of these folks.

I have been at a couple of CrossFit boxes over the past couple of years with varying community personalities. Southpoint Crossfit is the first place I actually feel like I am part of something. The head coach and owner, Bea, is amazing. Bea and her community welcomed me in right away. Bea is an incredibly supportive and passionate coach. She always aims to help her members meet their goals and provides a great deal of motivation.I can honestly say this is the first time I have had fun at Crossfit in a very very long time. Beas gym is equipped with everything you really need; amazing coach, awesome gym, and fantastic community. I highly recommend Southpoint CrossFit to everyone (brand new and experienced); no matter where you are in your journey, this is a great place to be.

Spent 6 weeks with SODU CrossFit and had a great time. I was part of a limited-time challenge that included 3x a week crossfit, 3x a week other workout and a specific diet.I really enjoyed my time at this gym-every coach was really knowledgeable about the best way to teach the moves, as well as scale according to my needs. I was never once judged by a coach or another member for being a beginner to working out and over the course of the 6 weeks I was encouraged to go further in my workout. I really liked going to the early AM classes, because it was a smaller group size and a little quieter. The afternoons are definitely busy, but definitely enough room in the classes that the coach was able to give you individualized attention.If youre looking for a space that is inclusive and supportive, while still learning to be a crossfit warrior, this is for you :)

Bea is a phenomenal coach! The members are very welcoming and the facility is top notch. Definitely worth a visit.

My wife and I bought a groupon sprI got 2016 and we are hooked. We love the coaches and the folks that go to the gym are all really nice and accepting. The 6am group is dedicated and the 430 group is more lively and joking. The class sizes stay pretty small, probably 5 people on average but some days it may just be two and other days 10. Classes are capped at 12 so you always get coaching tips to make sure you are doing everything correctly. A lot of encouragement and cheering. If you are new, people make a point to come up and introduce themselves (or at least I do!) to make you feel welcome. Wall balls are my enemy.

Most fun i have had working out ever! Great people abound here!

Being near 50, I started CrossFit with some concerns about the training method not being for me . But I started slow, tried Boot Camp and then worked into the regular Wods. Has been a fantastic experience. The gym is friendly and welcoming- With the others working out being very supportive of each other. The coaches are fantastic. They are patient- really patient-- teaching and ensuring proper form no matter how many times theyve seen us attempt the lifts. The workouts are intense and really well designed. Over the year I have gone regularly and now am in better shape than I have been in the last 30 years. Joint aches / pains that used to bother me when I ran / worked out on my own are no longer present.If you are thinking about a change in how you exercise give this gym a try!

This is an awesome place to WOD. Great community and great coaches. I started a little over a year ago, in the worst shape of my life, and an now in the best shape of my life. 50 lbs lighter and so much stronger. Cant say enough good things about the training at Crossfit 919.

Awesome crossfit gym! Cant say enough about the supportive community crossfit919 has fostered and the quality of the coaches at the gym. Great atmosphere, encouraging people, and of course, an enjoyable workout.

In the four years Ive been doing Crossfit, Ive learned that each box struggles to find its voice. Bea and Rich have fixed this issue by offering a wide range of classes and coaches that can cater to those looking to lose weight, refine their Olympic lifts, or become a serious competitor. You are able to focus on your goals and gain motivation from the rest of the members without feeling like you are alone.But all of this is nothing if the gym, members, and coaches are not approachable and welcoming. That was the first thing I noticed about the gym and havent looked back. With a focus on not only training hard but also doing things together outside of the gym it offers a community and support that is missing from some of the other boxes.Highly recommended to anyone looking to start their journey or to finally accomplish what youve been meaning to for years.

I just finished doing a 6-week challenge with the folks at South Durham CrossFit and had an amazing experience! My goal was the lose 6% body fat in 6 weeks and I ended up losing 7% body fat and 10 pounds in 5 weeks. I had many misconceptions about CrossFit that initially turned me off to signing up (i.e. its just for meatheads, you do complex movements with no instruction, there isnt any science/thought behind the workout plans), but my experience with the program, the people who were members, and the instructors couldnt be further from my initial thoughts.An extreme amount of thought and care went into designing the program. The meal plan, workouts, coaching and social support were expertly woven together to make for a seamless experience. It addressed every pitfall one might encounter when starting a new fitness program (sticking to a meal plan, meal prepping, losing motivation, stress) and made it as easy as possible to succeed.The members there were great. They were encouraging and friendly. Almost everyone I worked out with came up and introduced themselves to me, and were very helpful if I needed advice on a movement or was struggling with a workout.The coaches were experts. A special shout out to Amy Depolo and Jason Carley who I trained with most frequently during my challenge. Both were extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and motivating. Both great as coaches and people you would want to grab a beer with after class.Overall I give the program an A+ and would encourage anyone who is looking to transform there body and commit to the program to join South Durham Crossfit.

Quite honestly, the first time I really enjoy going to the gym. For as long as I have been a gym-goer I always maintained memberships but never truly enjoyed going. This led to a lot of wasted money on a membership I didnt use. I learned about CrossFit years ago because one of my insanely fit friends started doing it. I was always too intimidated to try it because, well, I am not insanely fit. Ha! I stumbled across a Facebook ad one day for the 6 week challenge with SODU and I thought, what the heck! I need to do this for myself and get back in shape. I remember walking towards the gym for the consultation and seeing all these people lifting weights and part of me wanted to turn around and get right back in my car and drive to chic-fil-a. I felt incredibly out of place....and FAT. But I sucked it in and sucked it up an walked inside. I met with Erica. She was super friendly and made me feel very comfortable. Needless to say, I joined the challenge and eventually a full time member. I thoroughly enjoy the workout programs. I love the change up every day so I am always sore (makes me feel accomplished). Its also super motivating when being surrounded by so many hard working, dedicated, people. All levels of skill and fitness are there working together. SODU is judgement free zone and I love that. I have since become friends with many members. It is a very close knit community which I think is awesome because I moved here from CO and dont know many people outside of work. Having friends there also helps keep me accountable and motivated, and lord knows I need that. Above all else, nothing beats the feeling when I leave class like, yes, Im still alive and I feel great! Sometimes you feel like you might die....but trust me, you wont. If you are questioning CrossFit, I encourage you to come in and try a class. Everyone will welcome you with open arms (including me) and soon enough you will be a proud meathead.

The best fitness facility in the triangle!!

Great community and comfortable atmosphere to get your workout in! Very welcoming group and awesome coaches!!

Large space. Great Community. Jason and Barbara make everyone feel like family here. Ive been doing Crossfit for 7 years and I found 919 just 2 years ago. Crossfit has changed my life and my health. Crossfit 919 made it so much fun to show up everyday.

Was referred to this Crossfit by a friend and have been a member for over a year now. This is a very friendly, positive and challenging environment!

Great training environment and facility with top-notch, supportive coaches in a convenient location!

Great people, awesome owners, fantastic workouts. The gym is clean, large, and has a large amount of equipment.

Bea, the owner of Southpoint CrossFit, has challenged me to do more than I thought possible or was capable of physically accomplishing as one of the older members of CrossFit. I had been going to bootcamp at Crossfit Durham which was coached by Bea. When she opened Southpoint CrossFit, I decided to follow her even though I had never done a CrossFit WOD. I will admit I was very intimidated by the weight lifting part of the class, but with Beas great coaching/teaching skills and encouragement, I am becoming less intimidated each class and actually adding more weight to the bar!! The workouts are both mentally and physically challenging and can be scaled to your skill level. The WODs are well planned and different each night. My balance, physical strength and endurance are strong and I hope to keep improving.Ive been a member of the Y and other gyms, but after a couple of weeks I would lose interest and stop going. People would have their headphones on or watching TV while walking/running on the treadmills - no one looked up or spoke to you. Not that way at Southpoint CrossFit - members are welcoming and supportive - a community. Ive been working out with Bea for four years and Im not bored and havent lost interest. I honestly hate to miss class. I encourage you to visit Southpoint CrossFit and workout with a great coach and community of people.

Two years ago I quit smoking and decided to get in shape. I started classes with Bea Yaxley when she was still coaching at CrossFit Durham. Id never done Crossfit before, and have to admit being a little intimidated at first. The reason I stuck with it, and the reason that moved to SouthPoint CrossFit when Bea opened it, is that she creates a non-competitive, non-intimidating, can-do atmosphere while showing you how much ass you can kick. Classes begin with a skill-focus, move into a strength portion (usually a lift of sorts, always with attention to form), and then the actual workout. SouthPoint Crossfit classes always have a mix of ages and abilities, but workouts are scalable so everyone gets the most out of their time. I find myself recommending Southpoint Crossfit (and Bea) to friends all the time, and thought it would be a good idea to do so on the web as well.

Southpoint Crossfit is the first box/gym i have been to where i have had fun and i have been to quite a few, not only with different challenging workouts but with the community that is Southpoint Crossfit. The head coach Bea is an awesome coach with tons of knowledge to help anyone better themselves both physically and mentally as well, she makes if fun and knows how to help all kinds of people no matter what their skill/experiece level is. The class sizes are nice and managable which makes 1 on 1 coaching a regular thing during wods and strength cycles, it has helped my wife and I a ton getting some real coaching on lifting (which we had to scream and yell about to get a glance at other boxes). I highly recommend giving this gym a try and i would guarantee a great experience whether it be your first time ever stepping foot in a crossfit box or you have been to numerous ones, this one just has the great friendly atmposphere that i think everyone is looking for!

I joined 919 over 4 years ago. I have never been in better shape, but the atmosphere and people at the gym are what keep me going back

Great workout and awesome coaches!!

Best gym in Durham.

Great coaches, supportive environment, effective workouts.

Awesome coaches, great environment.
