Spider Strength Gym

Great gym for powerlifting, Olympic weightlifting, and strongman! Basically no machines, but it makes up for it in terms of bars, implements, and racks. James and the members do a great job making a supportive community of competitors and people who just want to get strong.

Fantastic powerlifting gym. Love that it's 24 hours. I dropped by while in town for a conference. Would love to try more equipment, but didn't want to hurt my back trying without having proper training. No cardio equipment, all weight training.

I dropped in while on a family vacation. Coordinating a guest pass through email/the website was super convenient! The gym was very well equipped (my one regret was not having time to play with strongman toys). I could tell just by the atmosphere and the couple of regulars who were there that there's a good community here. Thanks for having me!

Best powerlifting / strongman gym in the Raleigh Durham area.

Gym has all the strongman, powerlifting, and oly lifting equipment you could need, has the perfect atmosphere for hitting big numbers, and the owner is super chill. Plus its competitively priced and has 24 hour access.
If you are serious about strength sports, this is the place to go in the Raleigh-Durham area.

James is a great owner and understands what people need in a strength gym. He’s especially good about updating equipment and platforms. This is a great place for anyone who’s into powerlifting, strongman, and weightlifting. There’s also plenty of other knowledgeable members at the gym who are super friendly. Hope to be back at Spider again very soon!

Spider has some of the best energy and motivating atmosphere I’ve ever seen in a gym! Members are great, and James the owner is always so helpful constantly improving equipment, etc. Best gym in Raleigh hands down!!

Spider Strength Gym is everything I love about strength sports: the owner, James, is kind, helpful, and keeps the gym stocked with new equipment; the gym community is supportive and uplifting; the facility is no frills in the best way possible; and the location is about as convenient as it gets. Whether you're dropping in on your way through town or a local looking to get into powerlifting/strongman/weightlifting, Spider is the place to be.

I came down to Raleigh for a trip with my girlfriend and was looking for a powerlifting gym to train in. I spoke with James on the phone and he was very friendly and accommodating. The gym had everything we needed and more, was well kept, and respected covid protocols. I highly recommend this gym to anyone in the Raleigh area, either residing or traveling!

This is a great gym! The owner is very friendly and the members are really friendly too! I went in this weekend to get some advice as I start training to compete in some competitions. Everyone was really friendly and helpful. Lots of equipment available as well.

I was visiting from out of town and this gym served everything I needed. Owner was extremely friendly and met me to give me a tour of the place and issue me a 24 key card.

A couple things to note if you're considering coming here, the gym is small. There is plenty of room to get your major lifts in with a platform for olympic lifting but expect little to no breathing room at peak hours. Its typical when people discover a good thing they flock to it. Just something to keep in mind if you plan on going after or before work. You may have to schedule around these times if you're impatient like me.

This is a well-equipped facility with great owners and coaches. If you are interested in strength sports (powerlifting, strongman, or weightlifting) or just improving athletic performance for other sports then I highly recommend Spider Strength. Their staff includes elite lifters and national champions / professional level athletes, and they are good people as well. Five stars.

James the owner is great. I was invited by a friend as we want to try and compete in some strongman comps this year. In addition to James being very helpful, other members are very knowledgeable and were happy to share info and help out. I will definitely be back.

I train here every day and I hope I never train anywhere else. The community here is like nowhere else I've been, all of the equipment is treated and maintained well, and the owner is one of the most helpful and genuine people I've ever met. If you're looking for a place to train in the Raleigh area, this is the place hands down.

If you're a strength athlete, spider is where you want to be. It isn't just a gym, it's a supportive community and family. Come for the top notch equipment, stay for the atmosphere and support.

Amazing powerlifting/weightlifting/strongman gym. Reasonable day pass price, quick response from owner. Would definitely be my gym if I lived in the area.

Visited here once and had a great time. The people are very welcoming and it’s well-equipped for powerlifting and strongman. Also saw some folks Olympic lifting. I’ll be excited to come back!

Love this place, they have EVERY piece of equipment for powerlifting and strongman that you will ever need. It’s a bit tiny which can cause issues when it’s crowded but that’s literally the only problem this place has. The owner is super nice and you can tell the money is being put back into the place to make it the best it can be!

Great gym for all strength athletes. The community there is top notch and super welcoming.

Rack your weights.
