I came to South Carolina to visit my family for the month of June and was in need of a gym. My mom…read morerecommended Sozo. I immediately contacted the gym and received a welcoming text from Ryan (one of the trainers) to set up a time for a tour. He was very accommodating and polite with helping me set up my tour. While he was there, he explained the layout, equipment, and class schedule very well. He was also able to answer all of my questions, which was very helpful. It was easy to tell that he is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate when it comes to his job. For the quality and vibe of the gym, the membership is priced right. Each time I have stopped by Sozo I have been welcomed by the front desk and other trainers. I would highly recommend Sozo to anyone who wants an inviting, clean, nice, fun, and well equipped gym. Go check it out for yourself and come hangout with the great Sozo community.

I've worked out, exercised, and lifted weights for years on my own. I did some research on my own,…read morefollowed a few magazine and internet programs, etc. but never really had the real knowledge or motivation to make real improvements and gains. My wife and teenage son started training with Mike (Train Hard Train Smart), and I saw tremendous improvements in both. My son has had a truly incredible transformation- his improvements were inspiring and motivating. And I can't let him outlift me, right? Ha! So I started with Mike as well, as I had always wanted to work with a trainer- someone who really knows what they are doing. And that he does. He REALLY knows his stuff! I have seen such improvement. If you're willing to commit (it's a two way street), he will guide you to your goals! I'm 47 years old, and just bench pressed a new record for me, more than I did in my 20's or 30's. What an incredible feeling! I feel great, and I love that my wife loves my improving physique! We look forward to our workouts with Mike- he has a great personality and will tailor your workouts. Highly recommended! Thank you Mike!

While Amy seemed to be great and really enthused at the beginning, it became clear the "pay ahead"…read moredeal she has going was less genuine than you would assume. After our first three sessions, (one of which she showed up an hour late for), we struggled finding times that she could come to work with us and our pets. She then informed us after our first three May/June sessions that she didn't work evenings or weekends at all through the summer. This was never mentioned before and would have been something we would have never been able to agree to had we known. Prior to this review, (and after she informed us of her seasonal hours), cordial attempts and requests were made at simply refunding our remaining unused sessions in light of this "scheduling misunderstanding" so that we could both move forward. She told us this wasn't possible and that she didn't provide refunds. While she is able to claim she will provide the services, she makes scheduling nearly impossible and eventually you quit trying and she keeps the prepaid training costs. In our case it amounted to a loss for us of over $200.00. While we would like to hope this was a unique and unfortunate situation, we have since talked to several friends and neighbors who have had similar experiences. Absolute obedience is extremely expensive and from the start offers a service that others don't- in home training for your pets with you. However, I would caution anyone about getting involved with this business- there is a great deal of fine print and unmentioned details. From our experience, this seems to be more of a scam and less of someone interested in meeting the needs of clients.

After a few weeks with Richard, our great Dane came back with boundaries and understanding commands. Richard spent time again with us so that we had the tools to maintain what he learned.

First off, Richard is a passionate and talented man, it's easy to see from the moment you meet him; Richard does what he loves. Second, he speaks dog... like direct communication, but what's cool is before I knew it, I was communicating with my babies even better. He was teaching me to talk to the dogs the whole time and I had no clue. Third, he inspired me! It is not often you meet somebody with the courage to walk away from every comfort they know to pursue something they love. Richard listened to what I wanted to do, I wanted to strengthen the bond between myself and the dogs. I already see a difference, they do too. I've worked with several trainers in the past and never felt a comfortable, or confident connection and neither did my dogs. I don't know who's more excited about our next lesson, me or the dogs. I can tell you there's more to come. If you want to get to know your dogs better and really strengthen that bond, call Richard. I assure you; you won't have any regrets.

Lake Murray Dam walkway, travel down Lake Murray Blvd will run into it…read more I come here to run occasionally as it is scenic, breezy, straight, and runners frequent. I just started parking on the Irmo side, parking to left of guard house is free. On a weekend I can see this lot filling up quickly it's not a lot of spaces free. I do think this side is more stretching friendly than the Lexington side. Speaking of Lexington side I always parked there with larger overflow lot but there was construction there last time that closed half the spaces. The walkway across dam is wide enough for about three people walking side by side but for runners it can get hard to pass the more populated. I've seen roller skaters out there, strollers, dog walkers although there is no grass only concrete so pick up the doo. The mileage is about 3.4 miles across and back; there isn't any man made shade except the short barrier wall between lake and walkway. If you come during the day will be in full sun so recommend morning or evening for shadier walks/runs. It's an easy run across, is windy certain spots so make sure hat is tight or you will lose it. Worth visiting.

As a new comer, the staff was welcoming and helpful in ensuring I knew the basics and recommended routes to take that would be beneficial for a beginner and definitely had fun doing so. They also have military, student, or first responder discounts and that includes admissions, shoes, and harness; price was very fair. This place certainly had a wide array of equipment for even power lifting, ninja warrior stations, bouldering walls, and plenty of rock walls. You do have to be certified by them to belay on your own, so I stuck with the auto belay walls; just wish there were a little more selection of auto belay walls. Overall, I had a great time and rather you're a beginner or experienced, highly recommend this place if you're into bouldering or wall climbing.

There is also a table tennis and conditioning areas which I use when I'm too tired to climb. I do wish the bouldering area was bigger and had more beginner friendly routes but it might be that i'm just really weak lol. The day pass and the membership price are average for climbing, overpriced if you are expecting gym membership price but so worth it if you like climbing. Overall, an amazing place to visit with your family in the Augusta area!
