Wilson

"Joining the O+I community is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made! Matt and his staff are so welcoming to people of all fitness levels and I’ve never felt more comfortable in a gym. The O+I coaches are committed to providing a safe and fun environment, where I’ve been able to meet amazing people who motivate me and make working out easily the best part of my day. Because of O+I, I’ve fallen back in love with with having a fitness routine, and I’m feeling stronger than ever. Thank you Matt & team for always giving me 100% of you and helping me be the best version of me."

"My friends and I have trained with Matt for coming up on two years--we love working out with him! We love his positive energy and creativity. He does a great job of mixing up the workouts so we never get bored. And, he’s great at providing feedback on form and how to work toward our individual goals. The atmosphere and quality of equipment at Oak and Iron is tremendous--I feel like I have everything I need to have a solid, fun workout. It’s become such a part of my routine I can’t imagine life without Oak and Iron workouts!"

The space and size of classes make it easier to get the attention to details from the trainers and don't have you feeling left out on an island when you are a novice.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

We offer two introductory offers for new members: your first three classes for $30 or a one-month unlimited trial for $99. Both offers are available for one-time use only. If you are visiting from out of town or want to explore our services, we recommend starting with the three-class offer. For those looking to fully experience Oak and Iron Fitness and discover what sets us apart as the premier gym in Wake County, the one-month trial is ideal. This option allows you ample time to engage with our community, familiarize yourself with our coaches, and explore various class types and programming.

We provide a variety of services:
