Original Strength Institute

Original Strength Institute is a gym for people who don't see themselves as gym people, built around strength training that is meant to be safe, effective and enjoyable. The site also describes it as an educational facility where movement is central, with a focus on helping people regain their original strength. A virtual gym option lets people train from home alongside a community spread across the world.

The studio has been open since 2009 and is located in downtown Fuquay-Varina. New visitors can start with a two-week trial to see whether the training suits them. The site also lists clinics, events, nutrition support and a class schedule.
