Reviews
I drove 4 hours to attend a seminar lead by Roy Dean. The staff were pleasant. The community was welcoming and warm. If I lived in the area, I would join immediately.
I came here for the Quest Kick and Quest Fit classes, which involve kickboxing, cardio, strength and endurance training, among others. I needed something engaging, fun and tough that was going to motivate me through fitness and wellness. I needed to relieve my stress from law school and from being a new mom, and Chapel Hill Quest was perfect for my goals. I could not have had a better experience starting off in a gym in a new city.
The instructors I’ve had here are so knowledgeable, motivational, and downright hilarious. I’ve gotten to know Hardee, Justin, Brett and Bryan, and each have their own teaching styles and I really enjoyed learning from all of them. The way they interact with the students, both adult and children, is endearing and professional. They know everyone’s name, which is very impressive. Everyone is genuinely happy to be here and the vibe is awesome. The students that I have gotten to know are also super welcoming, and it helped me stay motivated to keep on coming!
The membership is very affordable and worth every penny. Every time I exit the dojo, I feel refreshed and energized. The dojo itself is always clean and sanitized and the instructors and staff do a great job making the dojo look amazing and smell like fresh incense! I will miss this place now that I am moving back home to the west coast. I feel like I have gained a family and you will too.
