An old school gym at the heart of Columbia and after visiting few times, figured it was a great…read moreopportunity to leave a review! So one thing about this place, it's not your average gym; not like a planet fitness. There are more diverse equipment here to hit various body parts, but it's also older equipment. Think of it as the "old school" gym. More experienced or serious lifters come here, so keep that in mind. During the summer time, we all know how hot South Carolina can be, but this place has no AC; just a giant fan in the middle of the ceiling. It's not bad at all during the winter, it's cold enough outside where the inside is still cool enough to work out comfortably in tank tops. Only reason why I didn't subscribe to this place was the price. It's pretty expensive and not even open 24/7 without the extra amenities other gyms have. If you're going for the vibe, definitely the place to be. Plenty of parking so no worries on that.

This gym was previously on Broad River rd., and has been open on Main st. a little over 2 months…read morenow. The staffed hours are M-F 8am-7pm (if you're wanting to join/inquire about memberships). It is one of the better 24hr gyms I've been to... it has free weights (including kettle bells), machines, multiple squat bars, TRX bands, and even a crossfit rack downstairs, and all of the standard cardio equipment (as well as punching bags and even the JACOB's LADDER) upstairs. It has a loft style feel to it. There is one shower in both the male and female bathrooms for those wanting to workout before work or during a lunch break. There are 4 TVs upstairs but cable has not been installed yet (they're working on that). The peak hours are usually M-F 4:30-8pm. I think it's a great little addition to the booming main st!

Being able to come here for my workouts is a breathe of fresh air when compared. Weights are always put back and everyone cleans up after themselves! I am so amazed each time I come here with how tidy everything is. The price is great only $20 a month and you can come anytime, literally! The cardio is upstairs and offers treadmills, ellipticals, bikes, rowing machines, and even a mountain climbing machine! There are punching bags upstairs as well. TVs are upstairs and music plays throughout the gym. Downstairs there is a free weight area, TRX area, and machine area. Literally everything you could need! Weights belts, boxes, and all the attachments for the wire! Love this place and so happy we found it!

I came across their website, which was very clear and informative about memberships and staffing hours. It sounded perfect for my needs. I signed up for a month-to-month membership. After going there for a couple of weeks, I know this was the right choice: * Jason and Wendy are very down to earth and have created a great place to go work out * A good selection of treadmills and other cardio equipment * Extra fans set up in the cardio area. If you've ever run 15+ miles on treadmill in a gym, you know the fans are a huge bonus * Space and equipment for post-run stretching * Lots of free weights and machines for strength training * Water and hydration drinks available to buy - very reasonably priced * Very clean * 24x7 access for members I wouldn't go anywhere else in the greater Columbia area.

I read the reviews before visiting this Planet Fitness location (Two Notch Rd) unfortunately they…read morereviews were not inviting. But, I'm assuming they were old reviews or just difficult to please guests because it was an amazing experience. I was only in two for a little over two weeks so this isn't my home gym. The gym was clean, fully equipped with a variety of equipments and had the most amazing staff. The day I arrived Derrick gave me a tour of the gym and explained the various Black-card amenities. All the staff members were very friendly and helpful I don't recall their names. They clean the equipments and the bathrooms what appeared like daily. I went to the gym Monday through Friday and it was clean and the women's restroom and locker room smelt great everyday. I even asked if they were under new management because the whole vibe was different from what I read online before visiting.

*UPDATE* Owner contacted me via Yelp and said that climbing is no longer offered at this gym, so…read morethis review is probably no longer applicable. ---- We went there for the rock climbing. Apparently the current owners aren't rock climbers but took over the gym from the previous owners who were. There's a lot of neglect in the climbing area, but apparently the owners are still invested in the climbing and are still planning on investing money into the climbing side of the business. The walls are plywood, the pads are busted and worn out, and some of the routes are stale. That said, the setter(s) (looks like there might just be one or two) do a good job, the holds are good, and the walls have a lot of interesting features. You can definitely get some good climbing in - especially if you stick to the incline or curved section (the flat walls are a bit neglected). We didn't try the routes section, just the bouldering cave. You're not going to find another climbing option in the area unless you're a member of USC (and from what we were told they don't have a great climbing gym either). Go give this place some money and help convince them rock climbing is a viable business in this area.
