I had been using ClassPass for months to try different gyms, but I finally decided that The Zoo is…read morethe best place in West Ashley (honestly, in all of Charleston) to join! It's always clean, and the staff is consistently friendly. I also love that they have a smaller "training" room available when classes aren't in session. It's a great space to use if you feel intimidated by the main weight room!

I've been a member at Zoo Health Club for over four years now, and it's been a great experience…read more John, Ingrid, Mary, Alex, Maria, and the rest of the staff are all wonderful. The instructors and workers learn your name and fitness goals. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the gym was open as much as it could be, safely. Masks were required when the city mask mandate was in effect, and group fitness classes were spaced out and limited, with online reservations. The good thing about a 24 hour gym membership is that you can go when it's less crowded and weird hours of the day. My husband and I were both able to keep up our fitness routines this way. Now, the gym is back to fully capacity and offers group fitness classes again. There's also a new turf and sled as well as a new glute machine and additional free weights, all added within the last year. All equipment is in great shape, and I've never seen a machine out of order. The cardio machines have personal viewing screens, so you can watch Netflix on the elliptical or treadmill. No matter what your fitness level is, you'll fit in at Zoo Health Club. Whether you like classes, personal training, or work out on your own, you can meet your goals here.

First time here after the north chs location closed for renovations. Can't say it's terrible, oh…read morewait yeah I can. I dropped the kids off and neither worker acknowledged me nor my kids. Neither were even dealing with or playing with the other kids. TV wasn't working. Outside of childcare, the internet was out. So I couldn't purchase a drink or snack, some of the equipment didn't work, and there was no music in the gym. I gave the gym a redeeming star though for having a relatively clean atmosphere with the cardio and lifting area separated by a wall. This stuff I expect at the North Chs gym. Not a "Select" crunch location.

I think Big Work is all about the experience you're looking to have... it's a very different vibe…read morethan a lot of places, but if you're looking for something that is no-frills, mostly weights and has a powerlifting vibe, this is a good fit. It's definitely for the more experienced lifter or for someone coming to work with a trainer... you won't get in trouble for lifting heavy or being creative here. It's not a bunch of machines with "how to" labels on them... it's free weights, squat racks, some benches, some machines upstairs... it definitely has a grit vibe... so if that's what you're looking for it may be a great fit for you! I just got an email today that Zach (who was working regularly when I was there) is the new owner and I really liked him... I think he'll do some good things for the place! Excited to see what that looks like!

I was in Charleston for the weekend and could not have been more impressed with Big Work Fitness…read more Zack was extremely helpful in helping me understand my options, and he was very professional and encouraging to everyone that came into the gym. The space itself has everything you need for any type of workout at a very reasonable price, and the energy is exactly what one looks for when getting a lift. Highly recommend!

Isa is incredible!!! No matter which location I've had her as my instructor-she is always…read moreapproachable, positive, and most of all, pushes you to be your best self in and outside of the gym. she takes her time to meet individually before and after class to help you; not only with your workout goals but also takes time to get to know you on a more deeper, personal level. I feel seen, validated, encouraged and ready to show up for myself because of her positive attitude. she truly cares about you as a person. she also has great modifications with each and every workout.

HYLO fitness has been my gym the past two years. During Covid, they were great at social distancing…read moreand very clean. The restrooms and showers and extremely spacious and include things like hard dryers and basics needed to get ready to go out or to work after a workout. The instructors are all amazing and friendly. They are encouraging and push you through the works outs. I attend the hot yoga classes such as burn and pulse. Sometimes, they will offer special, longer classes like stretching which I appreciate and try to attend. The yoga classes (LO classes) are all heated. They last 45 minutes and have classes throughout the week in the mornings and evenings. They provide props, sanitizer wipes and spray, and lavender towels after workouts for use.

Been coming to this location since it opened five years ago…read moreand it's great. They keep it clean, the hours are awesome and it's $10/month-crazy inexpensive for a gym. I love the variety of machines, +$10/month gives you really nice massaging machines and the vibe there is nice inky Knick-sometimes they play heavy metal/grunge music to work out to, which is awful - who wants to work out to somebody screaming

The staff were friendly and informative of what to expect for my first experience. I love how the video had three instructors, each showing different modifications.

My wife and I stopped by the new HOTWORX West Ashley studio today (in Crossroads Center, right…read moreacross from Harris Teeter on Ashley River Road) and got an amazing tour from the owners, Grayson and Jay. These guys are genuinely awesome -- super welcoming, passionate, and you can tell they're pouring everything into making this place special.They're in the final stretch of construction, but even mid-install it already looks incredible. The individual infrared sauna pods with those full bamboo walls, floors, and ceilings are straight-up gorgeous and feel so calming and high-end. They've got the perfect lineup: smaller pods for the 15-30 minute isometric sessions (Hot Yoga, Hot Pilates, Hot Iso, Thunder Row, etc.) with virtual instructors on the screens, plus the bigger HIIT saunas with the spin bikes for Hot Cycle and rowers for Hot Row. The back FX Zone is shaping up beautifully too -- kettlebells, dumbbells, and a massive premium cable crossover machine with fully adjustable swiveling arms that's going to be perfect for functional training.Everything about it screams boutique, private, zero-intimidation vibe with 24/7 access -- exactly what West Ashley has been needing. Grayson and Jay said grand opening is in about two weeks and I seriously can't wait to see it fully open and packed with members. If you're into infrared workouts, red light therapy, or just want fast, effective sessions that fit a busy life, go see these guys. This studio is going to be a game-changer for Charleston! Highly, highly recommend.

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.

Well as you've read below there have been major a/c issues for many months now…read more Also multiple pieces of equipment out of commission including their only cable crossover setup for months as well. Most members don't re rack their weights and staff doesn't seem to care. Tried to cancel my membership at the front desk they told me I'd have to cancel online. So I cancelled my membership online and for 3 months hear nothing from anyone associated with O2. I recently got a phone call telling me I owed them for multiple months in unpaid dues. I explained the situation to the team member who then claimed they still needed to charge me for the month after I cancelled. When I refused the team member told me I'd be hearing from a lawyer lol ($64.99 was the charge). When I signed up it was a one year contract, when I cancelled my membership I was onto my 3rd year at the gym. This is a terribly run facility w an equally ill trained staff, stay away.
