I started training with Rebecca and couldn't be more thankful. She can spot my BS from a mile away and always pushes me harder than I'd push myself. She is also super thorough so I am learning as we go which I greatly appreciate as someone who doesn't have a lot of experience with formal lifting. Can't recommend this gym enough!

Quite honestly, I was an athlete in high school... playing every sport I could each season. Working…read moreout came naturally with that and I never really had to think much about it. Then, transitioning through college I struggled to find what "worked". I started down this path of doing the fad workouts until I became sick of them and I no longer enjoyed it (which came way too quickly). Fast forward about 10 years, and that old way of thinking and approaching exercise is totally gone. I started with Black Flag in Jan 2020 and I'm thrilled to say I'm still going strong over a year later (pandemic and all). Through bootcamp classes and personal training with Mike, not only do I enjoy going to the gym but the workouts make it so that I never feel like I'm getting "bored" or that I wish I was doing something else... not to mention I'm the strongest, both physically and mentally, that I've ever been. Between the incredible trainers and the variety of workouts they offer, I'm happy to say I've found my forever gym.

Did a week pass for my time on James Island and had an awesome experience…read more Getting signed up was easy, and the staff was extremely personable and friendly. Only qualm would be needing to check in with a staff member each visit. Room for improvement could be a card that you get for the term of your pass. Otherwise, it was seamless! There's a great turf area for stretching/any kind of free weight or circuit you'd like to throw together. Free weight area has plenty of space to always get a mirror spot. Cardio equipment is a bit on the older side but did its job. I did a good amount of running and intervals, and didn't run into any issues. I will absolutely be back when I'm in the area next! And highly recommend.

The Works is a great studio if you love all things yoga and fitness. They have such a large variety…read moreof class types from deep stretch to mat cardio. 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!

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.

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!

Everyone there was nice and friendly and supportive, and there were two adorable dogs hanging out during Open Gym on Saturday. If you want a spot that will take you in with open arms, this is the place for you. If you want an overly-serious no-fun gym, go elsewhere. This place embraces the goofy, in the very best way, but still makes sure everyone is having a good quality, safe workout. I can't wait to go back next time I'm in town.
