REX Wellness Center of Wakefield - Raleigh, North Carolina

I don’t use pool or sauna, so can’t speak to those facilities. I can say, however, that this is the cleanest fitness center I’ve ever used, which is important to me. In addition, the staff are friendly and always helpful, the equipment is always in working order, and the vibe is spa-like: relaxing and low-key. In addition, the membership cost is completely reasonable. Overall, a great place to accomplish fitness goals.

P.S. I just received notice that Rex Wakefield Fitness Center is closing. This is really bad news for anyone who lives north of Raleigh. The Raleigh location is old and outdated, nowhere near as clean. If Rex is going to close the Wakefield location, the least they can do is renovate the Raleigh location. Otherwise, it’s not worth the drive for us.

Rex Wakefield, unfortunately closing 11/15/24, has been a healing mainstay of a large Raleigh community. The staff members have been unfailingly welcoming & helpful over the 8-9 years of my coming there. My health & mental wellbeing has been measurably improved by the facility & its atmosphere. It has been one of the few places with a therapy pool available to all. Rex Wellness Wakefield has been my Happy Place for so many, many reasons. It is irreplaceable.

Been a member here a couple years prior to 2015, hated leaving. Started again post COVID. Its the best place for Adults. Saw complaints about the lap pool being hard to schedule. Same day always has lanes 1-2 available. But if you know your schedule ahead of time its easy to get a lane 4-5-6 to yourself. The gym equipment is outstanding and there are more than one variation of each equipment. The staff is always helpful as well. I just love this place, there are a lot of older folks (like me). I'd successfully trained for a couple Ironman triathlons here and back for a third. This is not a YMCA or typical fitness center its more of what it says, a wellness center where people are just trying to maintain good health in a friendly environment. 5 stars easy 🙂

Awesome caring staff! Best place for PT around as they actually care and bend over backwards to get you back and moving. The facility is a bit small for land PT but the pool is heated and makes up for the smaller area of land. It is very clean and makes you excited to go see the staff and use the facilities. I cannot recommend this place enough. The hidden location makes this place even more personal.

Went here today again after being absent for a while and could not believe how strong the chlorine is now in the pools and hot tub. I liked using the Therapy pool but it wasn’t very warm either. Cooler than body temperature causing shivering rather than Therapy. The chlorine was so strong that my eyes were burning within minutes and took about thirty minutes to adjust to breathing, but I feel that this is most likely harmful to my lungs and body. After bathing to wash off the chlorine, my skin is still dry and stinging whenever I move while trying to get comfortable enough to sleep tonight. I find this disappointing first because this is a wellness center and secondly because I like to exercise in the pool to keep my back and limbs healthy. Overall the rest of the facility is clean and useful for exercise, hence the three stars.
