Looking for some energy and motivation? We offer group sessions at convenient times throughout the day so that you can find a class that fits your busy schedule. With enthusiastic trainers and upbeat music, it is impossible not to feed off the energy of the crowd and blast through your workout.
The programming for each class is designed by Matt Guliver, our Director of Training, and taught by one of several highly experienced and qualified trainers. During a typical class, you will work with a partner or in a small group to complete a series of exercises. Members cheer each other on while trainers provide instruction so that you can master new movements, perfect your form, and avoid injuries. Classes are designed to challenge people of all fitness levels. All you have to do is sign up.

If you want to take advantage of one-on-one instruction and work closely with a trainer to meet your goals, learn more about our personal training services. At Oak and Iron Fitness, our team consists of some of the most experienced, compassionate, and knowledgeable fitness and nutrition experts in the area. They can help you set realistic goals and provide you with the accountability you need to take on new challenges.

Semi-private training is a great option if you want a more personalized experience along with the benefit of working with a partner who will keep you motivated. It is the perfect blend of group fitness and personal training that allows you to enjoy the best of both worlds while also offering a great value. Groups are limited to six or fewer, so you can get to know your trainer and your fellow members. Bring your favorite workout partner or best friend and get fit together.

Ultimately, exercise puts stress on the body. While this is a good thing, it also means that your body needs time to recover so that you can continue to make progress and avoid injuries. In fact, recovery tends to be the most underrated and underutilized component of workout programs. We encourage our members to listen to their bodies and incorporate recovery into their weekly routine.
At the same time, we work mobility into every class while also offering special recovery classes and clinics. Your muscles and joints will be properly primed to better handle that day’s workout and you can put more focused work into mobility with our special guest instructors.

At Oak and Iron Fitness, we believe in order for you to optimize your results, you need to fuel your body properly. Understanding proper nutrition is essential to improving your body composition and increasing your lean muscle mass. This is why we have in-house nutrition coaches. We offer everything from personalized fueling strategies, accountability, and educational information, to body composition analyses and more to help our members incorporate proper nutritional habits into their lifestyle.

"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!"
"Oak and Iron has a great atmosphere for all levels of workout enthusiasts. 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. Matt maintains the energy throughout the class and all the participants work well together to help push you throughout your session!"
“Oak + Iron Fitness is THE new state-of-the-art boutique gym that offers private/semi private training and group classes with accomplished and inspirational instructors. There is strong focus on nutrition, overall wellness and community. For me it’s the customized training with awesome instructors and variety of group classes that makes Oak + Iron a huge part of my daily life”
"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."
Katie Scheffer2025-08-14Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This review is long overdue but much deserved to the Oak and Iron team. My husband and I were newer to Raleigh and tried a couple different gyms but nothing really stuck. From our first class at O&I we knew it was exactly what we were looking for. The programing is top notch and carefully curated each week to help you grow stronger no matter what level you are starting from. Every single instructor truly cares about each client, making an effort to get to know you as a person as well as your strength goals. The owner Matt is awesome and his passion for fitness, intentional form, and overall wellbeing shines through to every aspect of the business. And lastly, the community of clients there is really something special. Getting to workout in a group setting everyday opened up the opportunity for friendship, encouragement and even networking. I never walked away from a class not feeling supported either physically and mentally. We unfortunately just relocated and moved a little too far away and had to find a gym closer to home to stay consistent, but I would HIGHLY recommend Oak and Iron to anyone looking for more than just a gym in the Raleigh or Cary area! Tamara Bonney2025-08-06Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have the best experience!!! Friendly environment and very professional trainers. christopher morrison2025-08-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From professionalism to proven results — Matt and his team get the job done right. Oak and Iron Fitness is the best gym/fitness joint in Raleigh -/ hands down. Thomas Cianni2025-07-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The facilities and trainers make Oak+Iron a motivating and rewarding environment to be a part of. Lonnie Hampton2025-07-27Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Oak and Iron Fitness is not your typical strength and conditioning gym. It is a gym that treats you as if you were family. My first class at O&I every member in that class came and greeted me, talked about their experiences for each class O&I offers, and how great the coaches are. By the end of the first, I felt like I just left a family reunion. The way O&I programs are set up, there is no reason why you can’t live the healthy life you dream of. They offer strength, steady cardio, and high intensity cardio classes. The strength classes are full body classes which works out great if you are a busy person. The coaches are very knowledgeable. Always ready to lend a help hand or teach you another way of achieving the exercise. Especially, if you have bad knees like I do. I can go on about O&I but you should come and experience it yourself. Laura Nassim-Sobhan2025-07-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Friendly and Knowledgeable staff. Clean facility. Nathan2025-06-14Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I took my first class at Oak and Iron yesterday - specifically the LIFT class - and I was honestly a little nervous going in. I’ve never done group fitness before and I’m currently dealing with a back injury, and I’ve always stuck to solo gym sessions with a PPL split. But from the moment I walked in, the vibe was incredible. No judgment, just good energy and support all around. The class kicked off with a warm-up to get our bodies moving, and I was a little unsure when I saw it was a full-body workout (something totally new for me). But it ended up being exactly what I needed. The workout was challenging in the best way and I got an amazing session in. I let the coach know about my back, and she immediately offered modifications for any movement that didn’t feel right - which made me feel really taken care of. I’m planning to use the rest of my class passes this week and then sign up for a full membership. I can’t wait to try the other classes. Only one day in and I already feel like I’ve found my home gym. Ricky Usher2025-05-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing gym, great trainers with a great atmosphere! John Holloway2025-05-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Encouraging, welcoming, and appropriately attentive trainers. Great facility - clean - plenty of room - nice equipment with a wide range of handbell weights. Workout I attended was challenging although fun. The community of trainers and members also welcoming and positive.
