Experienced firsthand today how great not only the owner and staff, but also the members are here. Currently stuck in my membership with Gold’s for a couple more months, but as soon as that’s up (or maybe even before), I will sign up here. Great place and great people. This gym has everything you could ever need and more to get in a good session.
Top notch facility. They have everything you need. From fitness training to combatives training. Staff is very friendly. First time using a Float Tank today and...WOW. I have osteoarthritis and still recovering from my second hip replacement. The session left me feeling amazing. Will be adding floats to my recovery. The float tank room is on par with a fancy spa feeling and very clean.
This place is awesome! It’s a real gym that offers the atmosphere you want when going in to get a serious lift in. The members and staff are all like family and are all very friendly and polite and always helpful. The float tank they have is a hidden gem here in the area and if you have never used it you have to try it out! They offer an infrared sauna and also jujitsu classes as a side bonus! If your wanting an atmosphere to get you in the mid set to make some gains then this is the place for you!
Float Tank First Timer - Totally RecommendedSore from training, and over-stimulated from staring at a computer screen all week, I was thrilled to take me a float at Bull & Bear. I totally loved it.I haven’t experienced a float tank before, so I didn’t know what to expect. Within minutes, my mind was calmed like I was deep in meditation. The experience was soothing and rejuvenating. Although I think I may have dozed off during the float. When I came out of the tank I felt like I fell asleep in a movie theater.I injured my back pretty extensively about 18 months ago. Soaking in a tub was part of my physical therapy regimen. I wish I had access to a float tank back then. It would have been accessible from my wheel chair, and I would have benefited so much from using it. It took all the pressure off my back!Another perk of the tank is the size. I’m over 6 tall, so actually being able to fit was great. I haven’t fit in a bathtub for a soak since I was in grade school.As for the club. It’s totally flipping awesome. Especially if you like to workout. If you go to the gym to text on the phone and snapchat with friends, this isn’t the place for you. People are there to work and work hard. Sure the members know what theyre doing and look amazing, but theyre some of the nicest people youll ever meet, too.
I originally started off just trying to find a gym that was open and got lucky enough to stumble across Bull & Bear. If you are looking for a real gym and not somewhere to eat pizza and bagels while sitting on the treadmill, then this is the place. First day I walked in, it felt like coming home. After being out of the gym forever from the Rona, it was great to be in a serious gym. Everyone in the gym, owner, staff, and customers are great. Youre not going to find a better gym in the area.
Bull and Bear is a wonderful gym owned by people of great courage and character. The gym itself is a hair on the small side, but it has anything and everything a body builder, endurance athlete, or casual gym goer could want. Highly recommended. 👌
Great gym. Great equipment. Very knowledgeable staff. It is nice to train at a place with such serious weight lifters.
BBG is a well maintained and exceptionally clean gym with friendly staff. Essentially 24/7 access to both strength athlete specific equipment and commercial gym type equipment. The gym owner controls membership volume so there is never a long wait for equipment or space normally experienced at other gyms in the area. Pricing is equal to or below other gyms/facilities in the area with no BS start up fees, membership fees, etc...
I became a member the day after their soft opening. It has been exciting to watch the gym come together as the finishing touches are being implemented. I can’t wait for it all to be complete and test out some of the extra offerings they provide. While I haven’t been there in the past week due to traveling, I am hoping they get kettlebells and a battle rope for use in the facility.
Missy and Brittany are amazing! I haven’t had the pleasure of taking other teacher’s classes yet, but plan too. The facility is great and love that this area finally has a great hot yoga studio!
This gym has a great set up, as heavy dumbbells as you could need, all the way down to 5LB, 5 or 6 squat racks with nice platforms with KG bumper weights for deads and ect. Great isolation attachments for the cables. Not a strongman gym but not a planet fitness. Great middle of both so it can fit both sides of the spectrum.
Best gym in the Fuquay area for anyone who’s a serious lifter. Nice equipment, clean facility and friendly members.
Excellent gym and people, great environment..We go hard there, we value our health and the veterans and first responders...I was at Clubworx before this and they decided to fire everyone and screw everyone and there hard work and progress...im not about that. They have lost my respect as they cowered and caved to the bullcrap policies of the government...Id gladly pay twice to not go back to Clubworx. Clubworx has me under a year contract and have decided to not even give any information about the situation all while trying to sell access to the pools which is included in my membership. The management and owners are trash. No value for health or fitness, just money. Dont go to Clubworx if the open back up haha if. Tell your friends not to go to Clubworx. This is where you want to be. Give them your service as they are there to serve you. Been there for months now and havnt died from the bs virus. Oh and Clubworx blocked and hid comments that were critical of them on facebook. Screw Clubworx!!!!!! Come workout with us at Bull & Bear
Hands down the best pure lifting gym in the area. Lived in the area for 4 years and never came across a place like this. Came down for a vacation to see family and they were super accommodating.
Best gym around..awesome staff and owner, super clean, great equipment, couldnt ask for a better gym
Awesome facility with assets Fuquay is lucky to have. Hot yoga, a float tank providing a one of a kind experience most have to travel to find & lifting equipment for days. Happy to have them here in town.
If your tired of the commercial everyone cares about you feelings gym this is the place for you. Its a breath of fresh air for people who are serious about working out and reaching there full potential in the weight room. If being surrounded by like minded hardcore lifters is for you then def check this place out
This place is a haven for wellness! The gym is 10,000 square feet- completely focused on fitness and health. This is not your average gym.In addition to strength building and body building, my favorite space in the gym is the hot yoga studio. The room has radiant heat set to 104 degrees. I teach and take a lot of yoga, and this studio is 💯. Every yoga instructor has a unique style and creates a safe place to practice.The float tank is the ultimate form of meditation for those who need to connect with breath and heart.The sauna is perfect especially when you need a full detox.This sweet space is the ultimate gem in Fuquay Varina.
Badass gym!! If you are a serious lifter, this is the gym youve been looking for. A must try is the float tank! The results are amazing for the body and mind.
Bull and Bear gym is in a league all its own! I have never been a part of a gym with such an extensive focus on recovery for both mind and body. The float tank is a must try whether youre a competitive athlete or just feeling the effects of that fuquay traffic. Much more to offer to include hot yoga classes and styku body imaging.
Great gym and atmosphere. Has all the equipment you will need and keeps adding more. Float tank was amazing.
Very good experience in float tank! Highly recommend! Need some safety upgrades since the floor is very slippery when wet but overall great experience!
Ive attended hot yoga classes with Missy and they are great. She gives you a cold eucalyptus towel at the end of class for final Shavasana and its amazing.
Great vibe in the gym. Everyone that is a member here is there to do work. Much better than the gyms full of resolutioners and weekend warriors that just waste take up space and sit around on their phones. Keep up the good work and keep the weirdos out.
Bull & Bear is the only and best alternative to a commercial gym in Fuquay Varina. The atmosphere is serious and promotes hard work and dedication. Inside the same facility, there are also multiple avenues of recovery that a strength or fitness athlete would benefit from. Highly recommend.
Had an absolutely excellent experience doing hot yoga with the owner and Missy (yogi) here. Was my first time ever trying this and LOVED it. 😃Do yourself a favor and give them a try out theBull & Bear for a month. You won’t regret it.Plus they’ve got a ton of awesome services available here. Infrared sauna, Styku body scan, an inhouse massage therapist, float tank.While their main audience is serious weight lifters (aka, not me haha) as a bodybuilding gym, the Bull & Bear truly has something for everyone who is trying to improve their health and live a better life.
Ive been in corporate based gyms for the past 4 years and have already enjoyed all BBG has to offer in just a month!Being on my own fitness journey, I love being surrounded by other body builders who are serious about their workouts.BBG is also my one stop shop to recovery. Whatever my body is feeling, they have it all- hot yoga, infrared sauna or even a float in the deprivation tank!If youre ready for a REAL gym with badass people and equipment this is the place for you!
Best gym in NC hands down! The hot yoga, float tank, and infrared sauna is amazing.
Great gym with great equipment. one of my go to places to work out
