At O2 Fitness, we are always excited to be recognized in the community for our fitness clubs and helping our members achieve their wellness goals. That is why we are proud to announce that we have been recognized by MidTown Magazine’s Diamond Awards and Cary Magazine’s Maggy Awards as one of top fitness locations in the Triangle.
During 2011, more than 5,000 Midtown readers casted online ballots for their favorites in a variety of selected categories. On January 5, 2012, Midtown Magazine announced O2 Fitness as the ‘Best Place to Sweat’ at its fourth annual Diamond Awards presentation held at Mura in North Hills.
In the January issue of Cary Magazine, O2 Fitness also received an honorable mention for ‘Best Fitness Club’ under the Best of Lifestyle category. All winners were selected based on online voting from readers.
Thank you to everyone who voted for O2 Fitness in both awards! We are proud to be recognized in the community and we will continue to provide the most comfortable and motivating fitness atmospheres for both our members and their guests.

Last week we celebrated Membership Appreciation Week at all of our locations across the Triangle and in Wilmington. Throughout the week, members and their guests were treated to free food, massages and even had the opportunity to talk one-on-one with O2 Fitness personal training experts. Local vendors, ranging from boutique clothing and jewelry stores to nutrition advisors, also stopped by several of our locations and provided members with wellness information, special offers and free product samples.
Our newest location in downtown Raleigh’s Seaboard Station hosted a fitness competition where members were encouraged to push to their physical extreme. At our Brennan location, our O2 experts hosted two clinics for the club’s new TRX suspension training program. And rumor has it that the Chick-fil-A cow was even spotted participating in the Zumba class at our Fuquay-Varina location and dancing to live tunes at our Falls/540 location!
See what our members said was their favorite part about Membership Appreciation Week on our Facebook page. We enjoyed seeing all of our members throughout this fun-filled week and look forward to hosting more events in the future!

O2 Fitness, North Carolina’s premier fitness provider, just opened their 9th and 10th locations in an effort to provide a more efficient workout option for a busy lifestyle. There are two new O2 Fitness Express club locations here in the Triangle:
- Perry Creek: 7510 Ramble Way (north of I-540 at the intersection of Perry Creek Road and Highway 401)
O2 Fitness Express clubs are different than the customary O2 Fitness facilities. Express clubs have reduced rates, and are open 24 hours a day with large cardio areas, full circuit training, free weight areas and professional personal trainers. Members will be given a 24 hour access code, allowing them the opportunity to work out when it is most convenient.
“We are thrilled about this expansion,” says Michael Olander, Jr., founder and CEO of O2 Fitness. “Both facilities are allowing us to better serve members, while providing fitness facilities to new communities that may not have had direct access to our clubs before. We hope this helps provide easy access to a healthy lifestyle.”
O2 Fitness wants its members to have an encouraging atmosphere to maximize their abilities and help them reach their health and fitness goals. This expansion gives members an efficient option for their workout while still reflecting the high standards of other O2 Fitness facilities.
The new express locations are currently open.
