Looking for a gym with a great community vibe? Anytime Fitness has you covered…read more This is the most well kept and organized gym that I have ever been to. After relocating to Johns Island, I needed a new place to work out. This was the first, and last gym that I toured. It's immediately apparent after walking in that cleanliness and friendliness are two of the top priorities of this facility. The equipment is incredibly varied and you should be able to find everything you need for a good workout. When you enter there is a small table and sitting area to the left where you can sign up for a membership or chill out. The gym offers a wide open space with really good distancing in between machines so it never feels too crowded. The back of the gym has a small area with cubbies where you can leave your bags, personal items, and anything you don't want to carry around with you. The entire facility is accessed through a key fob and their are security cameras scattered throughout the building. You really don't get the feeling that anyone is going to steal anything because of the community vibe of the gym. There are bathrooms and showers on site for gym members, and a small refrigerator with drinks that uses the honor system for payment. WIFI is available and the connection has been great from all corners of the gym. Most notably, the staff and trainers always have positive attitudes and say hello when you walk in. A special shout out to Mackenzie for always helping out members when it's needed and for always having an infectious smile that makes you feel welcome. If you're looking for a new gym in the Johns Island area, they offer a free trial day so you can see what it's like for yourself!

The class moved at a fast pace so if you haven't done personal training or it has been awhile there is a good chance your form is not right and you are at risk for an injury. I inquired about private classes to make sure my form is right and the owner dismissed it as they don't do them bc it is more expensive than the classes. If someone is willing to pay you should consider this as an option so they can move back into the classes feeling more confident.

This place was everything I needed exactly when I needed it. I came here looking for programmed workouts and a change to my routine. I ended up getting highly skilled coaching, programming and a community of people that make me feel welcome. 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. This place really embodies the statement: "CrossFit isn't for everyone, but it is for anyone."

After having an exceptional experience with a crossfit that I loved in Asheville, every CF I have…read moretried since then fell a little flat. 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 have to adjust my schedule to be able to go more often but it is definitely a goal. So far it's been a great group of supportive people. The instructors pay close attention to form to make sure you don't hurt yourself. It's not about being stronger than everyone else. It's about you becoming a stronger version of yourself.

From the owner: At CrossFit Johns Island we provide a fitness program and support system unlike anything you will…read morefind in a traditional gym, boot camp or the popular fitness trends. We are a community! We train you using a methodology which is based on functional movements - movements you will need for your daily life, that have been around for as long as humans have been moving themselves and objects through space. Not only will you get stronger, leaner, fitter, faster, more agile and powerful, but you will do it all under the close supervision of quality coaches and within a fun atmosphere and supportive community. We are not just here to make you sweat (although there is plenty of that)-we are here to address your fitness and health as a whole. Our group classes are led by a certified and experienced coach, last an hour, and include warm up, skill and strength work, and conditioning.

The vibes are great and I leave every class completely gassed, which is a good thing! The location is super convenient for me and parking is a breeze.

I'm dropping my review down by a star. I have been here over a year now and while I like the gym…read moretheir AC is horrendous. I understand it's a big facility, of course everyone working out is going to heat the place up... so you would think they'd invest in a better unit and or run it colder. Within five minutes of being there, before I start working out on occasions, I'm already sweating. I don't remember it being this bad last summer. And that's the thing- it's not even summer yet so how much worse is this going to get? The staff remains nice and friendly. There has been no update in the equipment in the last year I've attended so half of it is new and half is outdated. That being said everything works well and there is something for everyone. Even when it is busy there is always equipment or space available for you to move. I've heard other members complain about the teens hanging around. While I haven't experienced that myself yet I can only pray this doesn't turn into another PF. That's why I left that gym- because parents used it as a daycare and instead of the teens working out they just hogged equipment to yap. I'll update over the summer.

I've never felt intimidated there & I also love that everyone is there to actually work out!! You don't have to weave around people filming content every few feet. And of course, Tiffany (Charleston NATIVE, baby! ) and Christian are the best. They've built such a welcoming, supportive community while keeping that perfect "get in, get out" vibe if you're on a schedule. You do you. But if you need guidance, they're there to support you & your fitness goals! If you're looking for a gym that's spotless, has great equipment, super welcoming, comfortable & run by people who genuinely care about their members, Forge CHS is hands-down the best! Five stars all day.
