The styles they teach
“I love Chris and Amanda’s 30 min spin 30 min sculpt class.”
“The sculpt and barre classes are also tough in the best way!”
“I started as an absolute beginner to all the fitness classes offered and all the coaches were so kind and accommodating.”
What's on offer
What students say again and again
“All of the instructors are amazing, but they each have their own style so you can pick what motivates you the most.”
“The owner Chris is always thinking up new and fun ways to create a community beyond just working out together - theme rides, snacks, publicly celebrating milestones, and more.”
“There are tons of different classes (spin, sculpt, yoga, barre, and combos), music themed classes, and lots of times to pick from!”
“A friend convinced me to buy a 3-class pack to at least try it out, and I was immediately hooked.”
From the reviews
WOW! One of the most motivating spin classes I've taken. Barbie was the instructor and she brought her "A" game!! Great instructions to work your entire body. Music kept you going throughout the class along with Barbie's constant motivation.
The most amazing classes, teachers, and community. As a former D1 athlete I was burnt out and nervous joining a gym. The teachers are immediately welcoming and have awesome energy that make classes and working out fun again.
I have been going to the sweat lab for the past school year and I can without a doubt say it is the best fitness studio I have ever been to. The spin choreo was challenging at first but after two classes I was able to pick it up very quickly. I also love the variety of classes they offer.
The Sweat Lab is my favorite place in all of Durham! The rhythm-based cycling classes are addictive; I love that it’s a challenging (but rewarding) workout no matter what level of experience you show up with. Same goes for sculpt/barre/yoga, too. And the best part is that it’s all actually fun!
Your first hot yoga class at The Sweat Lab
Nervous about your first hot class? Almost everyone is, and a good studio expects beginners to walk in the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: the room is heated, so it feels intense for the first few minutes — rest in child's pose any time you need to, no one will bat an eye. Hydrate: drink water through the day before class, not just as you arrive, and bring a bottle. What to bring: a mat and towel, water, and a change of clothes; wear something light you don't mind sweating through, and skip a heavy meal in the couple of hours beforehand. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign in and set up. It gets easier fast — most people say their third class feels completely different from their first.
