Let me start with all things good. Bold Fitness in Summerville is a convenient location just off…read morethe freeway. It offers group classes for those who need an extra push or just thrive in a group environment. Daycare is also available for those who need it. Bold is typically very clean, with microfiber towels and cleaner provided to their clients. There are showers onsite and saunas in the bathrooms which is a huge benefit to their members. There are plenty of cardio machines, however that can also be placed in the cons section depending on your relationship with cardio. So, you ask, what's the issue? Me. I'm the issue. Full disclosure, I'm a competitive bodybuilder so I take quite a bit of time in the gym, have certain exercises that need to be completed in a certain order, and I just can't quite do that at Bold. The biggest reason is lack of equipment. Listen, there are a lot of members, and that's great, however when you only have one smith machine, one set of 100lb dumbbells, one hip thrust machine...you see where I'm going with this. Also, people do NOT re-rack their weights and it drives me insane! There seems to be no common courtesy or rules when it comes to this issue. Earlier I mentioned their cardio machines - I feel like if they decreased the number of cardio machines they could maybe add another dumbbell rack and free up the current dumbbell rack placement. I come here because it's the closest gym to me, and on upper body days I can get an effective and quick workout when I go in the middle of the day. It's more of a 3.5 star to me, but again, I'm probably the problem.

Great gym. Always clean. Not too noisy. There are some meatheads but not too many. The staff is…read morefriendly and helpful. The equipment is adequate. Could do a little better on maintenance but if you tell them there is an issue they address it right away. Location is great and parking is plentiful.

Love love OTF Summerville!…read more I had been feeling in a rut with running and weight lifting so I saw I could take a free class and decided to get out of my comfort zone. I don't really like people watching me workout so it was going to be different for me. The people here are so nice! Not just the employees but the members too. The coaches make sure I understand everything we're doing in class before we start. The bathrooms are awesome! They have anything you'd need. They also have lockers to put your stuff and phone charging stations. I really had zero idea what OTF was before I stepped in the building. It's rotations between treadmill, rowing and weight room. You never do the same workout twice which is nice! The only setback which is preventing me from doing it more is it is pricey. Not as much as other types of classes but more than I can spend at this point so I'm doing 4 classes a month. Better than nothing! Highly recommended!

All the OT's I've visited, I always get a great work out in. While I do enjoy the structure of…read morethese classes, I do think it's a place for people who love that group class atmosphere that don't particularly like to work out alone or perhaps don't have the motivation or is new to working out. 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!

Old facility and very unsafe conditions. The machines are out of date and most don't have the…read moresafety pins that are required to adjust the machine to your body! I seems as if they keep the equipment on the floor just to make it seem full. The staff told me they are getting new equipment in a few weeks but what the heck am I supposed to do until then? The only real thing I see coming of use is maybe a class if I can (not the reason I joined), or the pool. And the pool is already booked out for classes and whatnot so the adult swim or family swim is only a half hour block...usually when I'm at work. I cancelled my membership on the spot and am mad at myself for wasting money on this sorry establishment.

The original downtown Summerville location of the YMCA has a pool and sauna, gymnastics facility…read morewhich the Ponds location does not have. I am partial to this location because it is the one I grew up with- I took gymnastics here. I'm pretty sure the gymnastics facility is exactly the same as it was 20+ years ago when I attended. The best part about this gym (now that I'm an adult) and location is the child watch- it is open 7 days a week. So, if you have kids, you can work out every day almost all day long (2 hour limit). M-F the child watch is open from 8-8, Saturdays from 8-1, and Sundays i think from 12:45-3:45. It seems like a lot of gyms in the area either don't offer childcare or if they do the hours are really limited. There are many different classes offered as well as fitness coaches/trainers if you want that. There are two cardio rooms, a small one with just a few machines and a larger one upstairs with maybe 10 treadmills, a handful of bikes and I think a couple of ellipticals. I typically come here a few days/week with my two littles, drop them off at the daycare, then go running through downtown Summerville (you are required to stay on the campus while you have your kids in the childcare unless you are going on a run in which case I think you just leave them with your cell phone # and then off you go) or I do strength training in the weight rooms. Like every gym this one gets busy from around 4-7 so you may have to fight a fellow 9-5er for a parking spot and then a machine. After 7 the teenagers usually come out for their daily bulking/mirror staring sesh. During the daytime you can almost always find a machine easily since the people that come are typically SAHMs and older people coming in for either pool time or the daytime fitness classes. During the weekdays this location is very popular with older people, they like to come hang out in the community room and chit chat and sometimes play ping pong. The social scene here for 55+ is pretty poppin. Happy sweating!

I have traveled around the country for work and spend extended time in locals across the country…read moreand my first stop is to find a sushi joint to eat copious amounts of sushi, sashimi and hibachi, stop 2 is to find a gym so I can rock the Dad bod, look in the mirror and grunt excessively. (To all the ladies out their, you are welcome) So because of my addictive sushi habitat I have experienced all types of the guys. The Global gyms of the world, that even I felt wholly inadequate to the old school gyms in the back of some guys garage (mullet included free of charge). But the ownership and staff at Fitness Fusion run a top notch outfit, clean, friendly and ALL body types are welcomed in a respectful, encouraging atmosphere. I have been encouraged to try Zumba (nope), Yoga (yep) and the classes were conducted by professionals They even have day care through out the day, I do not have kids if they age, but I used to own a Nanny business and I can always find fault with child care providers in these situations, but I could find none here. Always engaging, kids always laughing.. and camera monitors at all times. You can't go wrong with this little gym.. no matter size, shape or experience I have never felt mor have been to to many gyms to coun

I used to be a member of this gym, and I absolutely loved it. Everyone was so friendly, and it…read morereally curbed my anxiety about joining a gym. It is great for a beginner. I liked that it was a women's only gym. No pressure at all. We all at one point or another look crazy trying to do something, but they are encouraging and helpful along the way. I went mostly for the group classes. They always had a great variety with different types of Zumba, Step Aerobics, PiYo, and Yoga, etc. They also have a sauna, steam room, and a small pool. They offer water aerobics classes as well as open swim time too. The reason I left this gym is because there needed to be some upgrades with the fitness equipment. The group classes were great, but when I finally progressed in my fitness journey, it did not measure up. The weight machines were pretty old, and left much to be desired. They did have great personal trainers there, but I still wanted more when I had to do workouts on my own. I felt that with all the money we were investing that they could have upgraded machines once a year or something. Just so you know that they care about your needs. The service was great, and the staff was amazing. I must say that if they were to ever update their equipment. I would definitely return, but there are other gyms that offer all of these classes with better equipment. Granted these other places do not have that sense of camaraderie that this gym does, but I like updated stuff too much. Give me technology and a smooth glide.

This gym has everything you need for a great workout. Nice equipment and very clean. The staff and…read morethe women that go here are all very nice and welcoming. The classes are fun and the instructors are great!
