I had been using ClassPass for months to try different gyms, but I finally decided that The Zoo is…read morethe best place in West Ashley (honestly, in all of Charleston) to join! It's always clean, and the staff is consistently friendly. I also love that they have a smaller "training" room available when classes aren't in session. It's a great space to use if you feel intimidated by the main weight room!

After over 5 years at the gym I finally cancelled my membership. Since 2020 the gym has gotten so…read morecrowded that I am waiting or skipping things. I think they ran a special that drew in lots new members. Nothing against anyone specifically, but the new crowd comes in groups of 3-4 and take up equipment for a really long time. Additionally, they continually raised my rates. They never warned me that rates were increasing, this includes monthly and annual fees. AND they never gave a heads up on when the annual fee would be charged. I found that to be really frustrating and rude. Not to mention, finding out that people who hadn't been there as long were getting a cheaper rate than me. There was no point in sticking around.

I love the variety of machines, +$10/month gives you really nice massaging machines and the vibe there is nice inky Knick-sometimes they play heavy metal/grunge music to work out to, which is awful - who wants to work out to somebody screaming

Only downside is the gym equipment is kinda old, but hey - weights are weights. The pool is usually pretty empty. They offer classes for kids too, which we use for our son. He loves his teacher Miss Liz, and he has quickly learned how to float and find the pool wall in case of emergency. We hope he can continue to learn there!

They offer personal training as well as group instruction. I enjoy working out before going to work so I shower and change here. The men's locker room is large and the communal shower room is always clean. They offer a sauna as well. Owned by St Andrew's Parks & Playgrounds so pricing is very reasonable. Located on Sam Rittenberg Blvd (SC Hwy 7) near Ashley Hall Rd, behind the shopping center.

No BS, No frills, no stupid door greeters, and a very good gym etiquette culture. This gym has EVERYTHING you need, regardless if you power lift, CrossFit, or work out for health. The gym is always organized and the staff takes care of it well. Best of all...THEY ARE OPEN 24 HOURS DAY! No classes restricting portions of the gym. Everything is automated and the system works very well. I've been to more gyms than I can remember, this place is by far on my top 5 ever. I come in, deal with zero BS from other patrons, hit it hard, and I'm out. It's called big work for a reason. Your there to work! Not satisfy your ego. BEST GYM FOR REAL LIFTERS IN DOWNTOWN CHARLESTON!

I think Big Work is all about the experience you're looking to have... it's a very different vibe…read morethan a lot of places, but if you're looking for something that is no-frills, mostly weights and has a powerlifting vibe, this is a good fit. It's definitely for the more experienced lifter or for someone coming to work with a trainer... you won't get in trouble for lifting heavy or being creative here. It's not a bunch of machines with "how to" labels on them... it's free weights, squat racks, some benches, some machines upstairs... it definitely has a grit vibe... so if that's what you're looking for it may be a great fit for you! I just got an email today that Zach (who was working regularly when I was there) is the new owner and I really liked him... I think he'll do some good things for the place! Excited to see what that looks like!

Sometimes, they will offer special, longer classes like stretching which I appreciate and try to attend. The yoga classes (LO classes) are all heated. They last 45 minutes and have classes throughout the week in the mornings and evenings. They provide props, sanitizer wipes and spray, and lavender towels after workouts for use.

Asked specifically about new location with regard to rate when signing on. Sales rep said my membership would not increase. New location opens in o2 location.

First time here after the north chs location closed for renovations. Can't say it's terrible, oh…read morewait yeah I can. I dropped the kids off and neither worker acknowledged me nor my kids. Neither were even dealing with or playing with the other kids. TV wasn't working. Outside of childcare, the internet was out. So I couldn't purchase a drink or snack, some of the equipment didn't work, and there was no music in the gym. I gave the gym a redeeming star though for having a relatively clean atmosphere with the cardio and lifting area separated by a wall. This stuff I expect at the North Chs gym. Not a "Select" crunch location.

Only qualm would be needing to check in with a staff member each visit. Room for improvement could be a card that you get for the term of your pass. Otherwise, it was seamless! There's a great turf area for stretching/any kind of free weight or circuit you'd like to throw together. Free weight area has plenty of space to always get a mirror spot. Cardio equipment is a bit on the older side but did its job. I did a good amount of running and intervals, and didn't run into any issues. I will absolutely be back when I'm in the area next! And highly recommend.
