What Our Clients Say
Larissa L.
"At 44, I'm in the best shape of my life and indebted to the Capital Strength Team"
"At 44, I'm in the best shape of my life and indebted to the Capital Strength Team... I can out-lift my 16 year old son and outlast both my 10 year old and 7 year old.
Perhaps most surprising (considering my age) I get compliments on my derrière quite often. The best result? My doctor is very pleased with my low heart rate, low blood sugar, low blood pressure, bone density, and muscular frame"
John
"Without any question, my experience at Capital Strength has been the highest quality"
"I've had personal trainers in Miami, California, Brazil, and North Carolina. Without any question, my experience at Capital Strength has been the highest quality.
I've been an officer in the United States Department of Defense for the last 15 years. My goal is to train SMARTER and harder as I approach my late 30’s and 40’s. Training at Capital Strength has help me get confident by learning how to properly exercise without hurting myself."
Laura S.
New Mom Stays Injury Free & Consistent
"...I look forward to my sessions every week, and even feel a little sad when I go too many days in between them...
Matt trains me in a way that is effective, safe, and fun. He pushes me to try things I'm afraid to, but is super respectful of my boundaries when I don't think something is working for me, or if it's causing pain.
I've never done such challenging workouts without a single injury, and my fitness is better than it's ever been."
Tad C.

It's THE best place to workout in Raleigh. I am in a safe, clean environment with professionals that are highly trained on a strength training and nutrition. I always get a fantastic workout and have already started to transform my body and mind."
Catherine F.
New mom get's pre-baby body back and even stronger!
"Capital Strength taught me what I was missing. I learned proper technique, correct form specific to weight lifting, and how to progress and improve on a program—getting stronger each workout.
That’s why Capital Strength is unique: they keep the classes small so that trainers have time to help each client... So if you’re looking to invest in real training that'll teach you life-long skills to stay fit and healthy... progressing past your plateaus... Capital Strength is your gym!"
Shaun S.
New to Raleigh and Finding Community
"I recently moved to Raleigh and looking for a gym was a top priority. Capital Strength has great trainers, programs and equipment. Convenient and easy to get to, and easy to schedule workouts with the app. And CLEAN and ORGANIZED.
Compound lifts were new to me, so good trainers were essential. Ben's coaching has helped me gain confidence and trust myself. His cues and coaching help keep me from overthinking and slow down. Ben, Eli, Peter and Carey make me want to show up and try my best. I'm really happy with my progress."
Luke A.
"I'm Finally Seeing Results After Ditching Commercial Gyms"
"I sincerely doubt there's a more qualified trainers in the area. Whether your goals are weight loss, to look better/build muscle, improved performance on the playing field, or general health, Capital Strength will help you achieve those goals.
Fair warning: the training you'll receive at Capital Strength is not what you'd get from your standard commercial gym. They aren't going to stick you on a treadmill for an hour and call it "training". Be prepared to work hard, but also be ready to see serious results in the coming weeks and months."
Abby T.
"I Look Better In My 30's Than My Early 20's"
"I've been consistently training at Capital Strength & Conditioning for about 6 months now and can say without doubt it is one of the best decisions I've made for myself and my health in a long time. I'm an active person and have wanted to try personal training for years, but always talked myself out of it. I am so glad I took the leap of faith to try it!
The staff at Capital Strength & Conditioning are incredibly welcoming and informative and the facility is well equipped, clean, and easily accessible.
If you are looking for a great environment, supportive staff and fun/tough workouts you should definitely check them out!"
Chris T.
The Group Classes Feel Like 1-on-1 Personal Training
"Phenomenal group of folks who really care. It has the feel of having a 1 on 1 personal trainer without the insane cost. They hold you accountable and will push you to stay on track."
Sean V.
Daily Life is Easier
"Fantastic space and team. I appreciate how the trainers tailor workouts to clients' unique needs, are patient and steady, and encourage steady progress without risking injury. My goal has been to simply more easily and confidently move around, and I've already learned so much about movement and my body through my training.
I feel much more energized and confident with all my physical activity thanks to my sessions, from my regular runs, to chores around the house, to just playing with my dog. Starting these sessions was one of the best decisions I've made in a long time."
