Been a gym member since they opened almost 5 years ago. Always felt comfortable....clean, friendly, supportive. Started 1 dry needle PT session recently with Taylor and I can already tell a difference. So glad I made the choice to do PT!

The moment I walked into this gym, I felt a 180 difference from previous gym experiences. The facilities are impeccably well maintained, and the staff treats you like a VIP guest. I train with Bryan, who not only has the compassion and enthusiasm of a great personal trainer, but the higher education to design effective workouts. And with 24/7 access, I can manage to work out around my atypical work schedule. I highly recommend this gym!

I have been working with Eddie Fitzgerald, RD. Like most people, seeking guidance on how to improve your diet and life can be a little nerve racking. Eddie will but you at ease and help you achieve your goal. He understands that life happens and working through the challenges is part of creating change that will stick. FYI his services are normally covered by health insurance, usually with no out of pocket expense.

Very well maintained, with a great selection of equipment, and the staff is very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend if you are looking for a enjoyable place to work out.

Chain Effect, as well as Matt Hartshorne, provided a comfortable environment in which I was able to heal and strengthen myself against future injuries. As a swimmer, I was prone to overuse and other injuries that stemmed from weaknesses or inflexibility. Matt worked with me to not only mitigate harm, but to educate me for the future. After my time with him, I now understand how the body works and connects to itself in various ways. Although I spent little time with him, Taylor is an equally charming guy that works hard to maintain a pristine gym. The two clearly believe in what they do and make sure to be as knowledgeable about their craft as possible.

I have had a great experience with Chain Effect. I initially saw Dr. Taylor Pope in the fall of 2017 for tight hip flexors, shoulder pain, and overall posture improvement. With his assessment and exercise plan, the issues were completely resolved within a couple months, and I have not had any problems since. Taylor also taught me a number of kettlebell exercises to incorporate into my workouts, which have been immensely helpful. I would highly recommend Chain Effect for anybody with mobility issues, or anybody just looking to improve their posture and develop proper movement patterns.

Dr Taylor Pope was fantastic with his dry needle therapy. I pulled my glut/hamstring muscle during sport activity to the extent that i was not able to move or bend and he made me ready to play again in 7 days.
Highly recommending , if you need physical therapy than Taylor Pope is the answer

I started seeing Taylor about 5 months ago for PT, as a patient who endured many surgeries with allot of limitations, Taylor has not only made me physically stronger but mentally as well. He not only challenges me, he encourages me to push myself beyond i knew what was even possible! With allot of laughter, hard work and a few curse words i throw out him every once in awhile i continue to gain strength and most importantly see RESULTS! Thank you Chain Effect, Thank you Taylor!

I have to say that Taylor is AMAZING! He not only helped relieve pain, but he worked with me on correcting my form to prevent any future injuries. And not only was he able to help me with my sports related concerns, he has excellent life advise, which allowed me to graduate on time. If I still lived in Raleigh, I would for sure continue to see him.

Taylor is great! I got excellent care with him. He understands the needs of athletes, primarily the desire to get back to our best level of fitness and not spend a lot of time at the doctor's office! All my appointments with him were excellent :)

Taylor and his staff are fantastic! I was referred to them by a friend because of hip pain. Turned out I needed surgery and Chain Effect was spot on with pre-treatment and helping me recover quickly. I love exercising there too; the equipment is in great shape and there is plenty of variety - no waiting for something to become available. I highly recommend them!

I've been here for personal training and physical therapy. Dr. Pope is the best physical therapist I have seen. He handled an Achilles' tendon injury as well as tennis elbow. Those are probably two of the most difficult conditions to treat effectively and he really helped me. Dr. Pope does use dry needling. I've had it done before (it's not my favorite although it does get results) and you can tell that he really knows what he is doing with it.

I like that Dr. Pope takes a holistic approach to the treatment and looks at your body mechanics as a whole as opposed to just the condition that you are there to have treated.

The facility is very clean and the equipment is top notch. Everyone I've worked with there was incredibly knowledgeable and had a true focus on functional movement.

Not enough stars! I play professional ultimate for the Raleigh Flyers and was evaluated and treated by Dr Pope for loss of cuttting and running power due to achilles pain. After just one visit I can already feel positive results with return of lost range of motion and explosiveness. The office is a state of the art set up and the customer service was top birch. The website is useful and easy to navigate and appointment availability was within 48hrs of my request.

I just completed my second dry needling session with Dr. Taylor Pope and I am very, VERY pleased with the results, as well as with the overall approach (identifying and focusing on weak/problem areas in my fitness and running technique). As a Brand Ambassador for Vibram and a competitive runner being sidelined for over 4-months due to heel and ankle pain has been very frustrating. I saw such incredible results after just one session that I came back for a second one! Not only my injury is rapidly healing, but my functional mobility is improving and I am already running faster than I did prior to my injury, despite missing so much training time.

I cannot recommend Chain Effect enough. First, it's run by a young husband and wife team, which I love. I have taken a bunch of classes at this gym and am consistently impressed by how hard they push you and how much I get out of a 45 minute class. Caroline is probably the best class instructor I've had anywhere, she switches up our exercises every week to keep things interesting. Plus, she works her ass off while leading the classes. The gym is very clean and they offer showers and a nice locker room. Don't hesitate to check this place out!!
