My muscles have a lot of opinions about this place, but it is worth every penny and I don't see me leaving it any time soon!

The trainers are motivating, and the community is very friendly and encouraging.

I never in a million years would have expected to fall in love with working out, in a boot camp environment especially, but I have become obsessed with Burn. The trainer at this locations's name is Amos and he really is amazing. He is not at all what you would expect a trainer would be like at a boot camp. Amos is 100% encouraging, positive, and helpful while finding the perfect spot that pushes you to your limits. I have seen him modify these work outs for people with a wide variety of injuries so that every workout can be done by every person. Each workout every week (open 6 days a week) focuses on a different area of your body to target and is planned so that you can participate for most days even if you are sore. Burn is only 45 minutes but it is incredibly fast paced and before you know it, it's over and so is your workout time for the day! Burn focuses on the training of women but there are a few co-ed classes. They also have a free Saturday class if you are wanting to give it a try. They also offer free childcare for parents! They are usually running specials for people who want to try out Burn without fully committing such as a free two week trial as well as 8 week programs for discounted prices. Just go check this place out and see why everyone loves feeling the burn!!!!

Now I have great memories with the nephews that I otherwise wouldn't have. It is also great that people in this gym are so friendly and genuinely care about each other.

Because it's only 30-minutes, it's convenient to get to 6-days a week- in and out. Closed Sunday. Location? Town Center, Mt. Pleasant by Lowe's. Plenty of parking, convenient location.

I need that- I tried planet fitness and mostly went tanning there- ha! I was tired of watching tv on a treadmill. I started to crave the FBBC workout every day. I joined for $157/month. It was a good investment, and I also went every day because I wanted to know it was money well spent. Results were comprehensive. I slept the best I've ever slept, had the energy to keep up- no- set a new, faster pace of life. Social environment- you start seeing the same people every day so you make acquaintances. The trainers know your name, play great music, host social events like beach workout followed by Mex 1 on Sullivan's Island every few Saturdays in the summer. They frequently run additional challenges to kick it up a notch. We fund raise for different charities, set goals as a group and are called the FitFam. I don't do social media, but joined their private group on Facebook which Daniel updates frequently, daily, so you stay tuned. It really becomes your lifestyle. The wellness improvement of my mind was the best part. - its a lifestyle, you challenge yourself, have fun. And only 30 min meant I could go on my lunch break and not be too sweaty going back to work. There are no showers, no locker rooms, no childcare - no bells and whistles and I realized you don't need those things. The bathrooms are large and clean enough to change, you set your stuff on a bench, and many people bring their (well-behaved) kids (in the car seat or to sit and cheer you on on the sidelines.) It's another good thing about 30 min. You can get your child to sit still for a half hour much easier than 45-60. I have nothing but good things to say. If you balk at the price, I hope I explained why I think it's worth it. Because it works - proof is in the pudding.

I usually frequent the West Ashley location, but it is only a few months old so it's not yet on Yelp. Emily Valentine teaches core vinyasa on Sundays, and it is always a great time! She has an amazing playlist and is always motivating and supportive. I always leave feeling like I really worked out my whole body and I am ALWAYS sore the next few days, but it's a good feeling because I know I worked hard in Emily's class! I also highly recommend their assisted deep stretch class. It's very relaxing and it feels so good to stretch and take your mind off of everything going on. The studio spaces are always clean and well taken care of. There's only been a couple times where a class was really crowded, but we always make it work!

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.

Whether you're a first time crossfitter, a seasoned veteran, a drop-in just passing through or a 60 year old who has never worked out before and feel it's time... you've got a place here.

After moving to CHS I tried a handful of different things and just never found the right fit for me. After baby #2 I wanted to try again... AOCF was running a challenge, 6 weeks of clean eating and at least 16 classes, setting goals, etc. I decided to go for it, a challenge is right up my alley and I knew the accountability would be good. Here's the thing, the places that left me feeling like it wasn't quite what I was looking for sometimes felt thrown together with classes (like 15 minutes of a body weight workout... if I'm coming for an hour class, I want to use that full hour and get the most out of my time). Also, I want good coaching... Kelly and Megan are awesome with this. And I found myself missing the community that I had built over time with CFA, AOCF has a really fun group of people and they are intentional about building community. So, I ended up being able to do a little over 5 weeks of the challenge (before going out of town for a bit). I dropped 17lbs and not only did my time get a lot better with the workout, but I can feel the changes, I feel better. I'm looking forward to continuing with AOCF and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to someone else!

I think they have a good system of where they have stations split up and have modifiers for people who can't perform certain exercises. The class I took was fun, good coach and friendly staff. While I don't see myself spending that much money monthly for a gym like this, I do respect what they do and that the people who work their are genuine and create an environment that helps people feel comfortable and challenging. The classes are accommodating to all walks of life!

So you almost forget you're totally busting your ass! The instructors/coaches are great! Really motivating and always willing to help/demonstrate the exercises if you forget or are confused. Kelly and Sav were super awesome and I'm excited to take more of their classes. This is a tough workout for 45min but you feel like you've really worked for it! So I recommend giving it a shot if you're looking for a new way to spice up your workout routines!
