I signed up for a personal training package with Amer because I wanted to start integrating more strength training into my exercise routine but didn’t know where to start. Amer was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly – I loved that he explained the why behind the exercises we did, rather than just the what. At the end of our sessions, I left feeling so much less intimidated by strength training, more confident in my ability to build upper body strength, and ready to continue work on my own! Highly recommend working with Amer – and all of the staff at Courage was really helpful and welcoming, too.

I started at CrossFit Durham last year and I can’t say enough good things about them. They do a fantastic job of starting you off with learning proper weightlifting form and make sure throughout your training everyone is exercising efficiently and safely. The coaches are as entertaining as they are knowledgeable. It’s a great community; if you’re tired of other classes where everyone just works out and then goes home, this is the place for you.

Courage is one of the most inclusive, friendly, and attentive gyms I’ve ever been to. Coaches pay attention to form and correct you during workouts; you’re never encouraged to work until you puke. I was about to move, and they worked with me to find a plan that would work for my short time horizon. The other gym-goers are friendly and fun to talk to as well. I’ve loved Courage and am sad to leave!

This is my favorite CrossFit gym I’ve ever belonged to. The programming is smart and fun, the coaches are welcoming, and the community is the best. All the friends I’ve made keep me motivated.
