Isa is incredible!!! No matter which location I've had her as my instructor-she is always…read moreapproachable, positive, and most of all, pushes you to be your best self in and outside of the gym. she takes her time to meet individually before and after class to help you; not only with your workout goals but also takes time to get to know you on a more deeper, personal level. I feel seen, validated, encouraged and ready to show up for myself because of her positive attitude. she truly cares about you as a person. she also has great modifications with each and every workout.

HYLO fitness has been my gym the past two years. During Covid, they were great at social distancing…read moreand very clean. The restrooms and showers and extremely spacious and include things like hard dryers and basics needed to get ready to go out or to work after a workout. The instructors are all amazing and friendly. They are encouraging and push you through the works outs. I attend the hot yoga classes such as burn and pulse. 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.

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!

I was in Charleston for the weekend and could not have been more impressed with Big Work Fitness…read more Zack was extremely helpful in helping me understand my options, and he was very professional and encouraging to everyone that came into the gym. The space itself has everything you need for any type of workout at a very reasonable price, and the energy is exactly what one looks for when getting a lift. Highly recommend!

There is a pandemic going on the gym has been closed since the beginning of March! I contacted them…read moreto ask if they were still going to bill members next money even though there not providing services! I was told yes they were still going to bill members even thought there are a lot of members that have lost there jobs due to this Pandemic! Shame on you MUSC Wellness Center for taking people's money and not providing services! Most of the time your showers are broke, there's no hot water, you gym equipment is rusty and for 2 month your Ceiling has been leaking all over the wellness center! Absolutely disgusted with MUSC!

Did a week pass for my time on James Island and had an awesome experience…read more Getting signed up was easy, and the staff was extremely personable and friendly. 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.

Well as you've read below there have been major a/c issues for many months now…read more Also multiple pieces of equipment out of commission including their only cable crossover setup for months as well. Most members don't re rack their weights and staff doesn't seem to care. Tried to cancel my membership at the front desk they told me I'd have to cancel online. So I cancelled my membership online and for 3 months hear nothing from anyone associated with O2. I recently got a phone call telling me I owed them for multiple months in unpaid dues. I explained the situation to the team member who then claimed they still needed to charge me for the month after I cancelled. When I refused the team member told me I'd be hearing from a lawyer lol ($64.99 was the charge). When I signed up it was a one year contract, when I cancelled my membership I was onto my 3rd year at the gym. This is a terribly run facility w an equally ill trained staff, stay away.

Working with David Drake has been nothing short of transformative. David's expertise and support…read morehave played a crucial role in various aspects of my fitness journey. Under David's guidance, he has prepared me for numerous surf trips. His tailored fitness routines not only enhanced my overall strength and endurance but also contributed significantly to my performance on the waves. In my 40s, I decided to take on the challenge of starting Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ). David's guidance was invaluable in adapting my fitness routine to complement the demands of this passion. What sets David apart is his ability to personalize workouts to achieve specific goals. Under his guidance, I've experienced noticeable gains, especially in my chest (4 inches) and arms (2 inches on each). I'm stronger in my 40s than ever before. My teenage son works out with Oliver (one of David's trainers) and we have done the Chad 1000x twice together at Drake Fitness. Working with David Drake at Drake Fitness has been a game-changer for my health and fitness. His knowledge, adaptability, and commitment to personalized training have made a significant impact on my strength, endurance, and overall well-being. If you're looking for a trainer look no further.

I've been to the PF in west Ashley, Mt P and now James island... and JI has to be the worst. I wish…read morethere was more room in the back for stretching and floor work. Instead hey have a few scattered machines that you have to set your mats in the middle of. This place gets packed fast during peak hours. About 5P during the week nearly every machine is full (something to keep in mind when you join and note that it will be worse at the start of the new year as people try to tackle those new year resolutions. ) I ended up switching gyms during the summer when they offered free memberships to teens. If it wasn't busy before it was then as parents used it as a daycare and you would have groups of 3-6 teenagers all hanging out, crowding machines but not working out. It was a nightmare. I don't know why this one is so much worse than the other locations but I hope they figure it out. This is also advertised as a 24hr gym but they close at 7p on the weekends. There are no scales in the gym to track your progress because I was told it might offend some people. (You're either in the gym to be loose weight or build muscle so scales are important to have.) Over the weekend they installed new equipment. That has bumped my rating up from 2 to 3 stars.

The James Island Planet Fitness has been open over two years. All of the equipment works and is…read morealso brand new, with tons of cardio equipment like treadmills and stair climbers. If you live or work downtown, this gym is your best budget option, as it's a short drive on the James Island Connector, and peninsula gyms are pricey. This is also a good gym option for those visiting Folly Beach who may want to get their workout in. The eight TVs on the walls have a great variety of trash TV for your workout enjoyment, including Bravo, Food Network, and several ESPN channels. I appreciated that none of the TVs were set to news, because I like to escape the dumpster fire of the world when I work out. I have a Planet Fitness Black Card membership, and this is certainly one of the nicest locations in Charleston.
