Our Friday morning class was coaches by Gina and she was so fantastic and welcoming. We had a great time. Saturday morning partner workout was so much fun with Alan coaching. Had a great time partnering with someone and they have a great space. They're really good with staggering the class if needed to not have everyone run into one another on the wall or using the same objects for carry. Would definitely come back!

The staff is very nice, encouraging, energetic, fit, and the gym is beyond clean. I can't recall the last time I went to a gym that smelled so fresh. If I lived in Charleston I would have gotten a membership. I have been to many gyms and this one ranks in my top 5. The workout was excellent! I highly recommend this gym for anyone looking to reach their goals. The workout was challenging, the staff was encouraging, and the gym is super clean. A great place to call home.

I will only be commenting on the parking and lobby area since I never tried their fitness facility…read more First, parking was tricky. There are no clear signs indicating where to park and there are a ton of potholes near the gym. Second, the lobby area is neat and clean. They have a cafe that is open to anyone, and you do not have to be a member to grab a coffee. They also have cool freebies like "Better Earned" stickers and rubber bracelets. I am actually wearing one as I type this, and it serves as a nice reminder of what I'm working towards.

Yes, a membership is expensive, but I think of it as…read moregetting 2 fitness studios for the price of one, as the Hy and Lo classes are both very different and work out my body in completely different ways. I love HyLo for the showers alone. The women's shower is a full room, with marble walls, and all the accoutrements you'd need--soap, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, towels, and even a scale. My only complaint is that they don't have makeup remover or any hair products in the bathroom when I'm getting ready after my workout, but I just bring what I need from home. The HY classes really work you in the cardio department. They all use a combination of spin bikes, rowing machines, free weights / kettlebells, ropes, TRX things (idk what they're called), and body weight to perform a lot of exercises in a short period of time with a lot of energy. Similar to what I assume some crossfit classes include. The LO classes use a special board to use your body weight and weighted poles or rubber bands to strengthen your body using your own body weight. This is most similar to pilates, barre, or yoga. All of which I'm terrible at, as I have the upper body strength of a newborn baby. Both classes totally kick my butt and make me feel like I've really worked my body hard! Highly recommend!

This is the noisiest yoga studio that could possibly exist. Why? Why do you do this to guests?…read more We entered the lobby to cocktail-party level chitchat, which didn't seem to phase anyone but my friend and me. Nice Staff showed us to lockers. All that could have been ok if the class had been ... enjoyable enough to do. Why did the teacher have a headpiece for screaming instructions, when there is no way the room wouldn't be covered just fine by her voice. I tried for about fifteen minutes, trying to follow her sometimes muted screaming by looking around me. I gave up and went to the front desk where they kindly said this was normal and offered me a cup of earplugs to pick from. I took them and used them for about three minutes when I gave up. The place purposefully makes it so loud that they have odes of earplugs in a cute little jar on the counter. That's just messed up. I usually do vinyasa flow, my friend does Bikram and neither of us really knew what this class was. Worst $30 one a class pass ever.

We selected this day for my first time (read: I am super out-of-shape, do not go to the gym, etc.) because it was low on cardio, focused on different stations of strength-based work, and easy to be modified. For example, if you move to a station where you are to lift weights, you could select 10 pound weights or 30 (or whatever) that is best suited for your needs. I wasn't nervous about coming because I've been to gyms of similar formats before. I was weary of embarrassing my friend in front of her other friends and coaches due to my lack of physical ability, but she assured me that no one would be judgmental and everyone would be encouraging. She was exactly right. Even better, no one seemed to give a rat's ass about what I was doing. And I mean that in a positive way. How nice to be able to work out and not feel like anyone is looking at you. That said, the coaches did keep an eye on me, to make sure I was doing the correct format or to offer me tips and modifications when it was obvious I needed it. I really enjoyed training at F45 this week, and I wish I lived in town so I could go back more often. I might want to check with the facility to see if they offer packages where you can purchase like a 10-class pass or something, because then I could join my friend when I visit from out of town or am home for holidays. I highly encourage anyone in Mount Pleasant or who lives in the area of an F45 to try out a class. You will not regret it!

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!
