Duke's Fitness Center

"I am currently in town visiting some family for a few weeks. I originally went here because I am a Silver Sneakers member. However, the Tivity FitnessYourWay gym finder website is wrong; this gym is no longer a part of the program. Fortunately, Nate was incredibly understanding and threw out a reasonable offer for the time I am going to be here. He's even given me 24/7 access. Nate responds to calls/texts incredibly fast and has been nothing but accommodating and friendly. The gym is good. I would call it more a "Mom and Pop" style gym. Most of the equipment is from the 70's/80's but it's good stuff, just a little worn. If you're looking for the latest equipment with endless machines, this gym isn't for you. Nate has the essentials with a little extra. The dumbbells go up to 120 and there's plenty of weight plates. Understanding that this isn't a big fancy new gym, only criticism is that some things could be cleaned a bit better and the cleaning rags could be changed out a bit more frequently. Maybe it's just the times I went to the gym but there's hardly ever anyone here so there's no waiting for any equipment and I've mostly had the gym to myself."

"Dukes is the best gym around. Small, community, family atmosphere. Nate, the owner is a personal trainer, nutritionist and he truly cares. You will get motivation, accountability and results!"

"You know that feeling when you walk in a gym and you know you are never coming back in? You won't have that at Duke's! When you walk into Duke's, you instantly feel like you've joined a new family. You are surrounded by supportive and encouraging people, all working towards their own health and wellness goals. There are butt-kicking classes that are filled equally with intensity and laughter or you can do your own thing, knowing Nate and his team are there to guide you as needed. It's a fantastic gym that feels like home!"

"After years of a sedentary lifestyle; I stumbled across boxing a few months ago. I instantly fell in love. I had been debating which local gym to choose. A few weeks ago I saw that Duke's was offering a free boxing class and I attended. I immediately knew this was the right place for me. Duke's offers a judgement free place for those of all ages, fitness levels, and to my surprise and my hearts joy; those with special needs. Today I attended Customer Appreciation Day and finally took the plunge into membership. Their schedule accommodates numerous classes of variety and times. The owner and instructors are fun, supportive, and clearly show they're commitment to help their members better themselves; physically, mentally, and emotionally. I enjoyed a class I never thought I would like and found out I love. I sampled delicious whole foods and had my first introduction to kombucha, as well as, attended an essential oil class. I'm excited to be part of this community family."

"I have been a member of several gyms around town and this one has been the best experience by far! I used to be afraid of going to gyms because let's be honest we all feel intimidated at first, but never felt this way at Duke's. There will always be a friendly face to say hi to you, great family atmosphere. The classes are awesome and can be modified for any level of fitness. Nate is a great trainer and will always find ways to keep you motivated. If you are afraid, and feel doubts on taking a class, or on how to start your journey, I recommend taking Beginner Fit whenever it is offered. Great gym, great classes and amazing staff!"
