Tidelands Health Rehabilitation Services at Pawleys Island I was looking to increase my strength and my endurance after three surgeries over two months for breast cancer and one major infection that hospitalized me for a week. I found myself very weak and not able to keep my balance well. I was fortunate enough to be able to get stronger with the Tidelands Rehabilitation Services at Pawleys Island. I cannot say enough about Danny, Jen, and Melissa. Their knowledge, kindness and professionalism got me back on stronger footing. Twice a week I came here and did not miss an appointment. I learned so much how to live a better lifestyle towards health. I listened and followed instructions. I did my homework as well. They guided me and I took part in my rehabilitation. We worked together to increase my strength and endurance. Danny is such a joy and helped me so much. She answered all of my questions in a way I could understand. Danny shared her knowledge and experience during our sessions. My work out was challenging and designed specifically for me. Each appointment went by fast. Danny's humor is so quick. I told her I think I have a bad memory but I can't remember. We laughed often during my workout. If you work with Danny you are in great hands. Jen has a smile that lights up a room. Her encouragement made me feel as if I could do anything. Jen challenged me to do my best. The workouts became a routine for continuity with rest periods in between. . The repetitions were increased as my body got stronger. Jen laughed often during the time I was there. I told her the word for one of the days was "OVERDOING IT ". We try not to do too much too soon. If you are Blessed to work with Jen bring your best! Melissa has such a big heart. She made my work outs very enjoyable. Melissa gave me a lot of help towards my healing and getting stronger. We talked about my goals and progress. My favorite line from Melissa ...." I Give you permission to walk!" I always needed that extra OK to try something or do something new. We kept laughing about that moment. Melissa went the extra mile and answered my questions about nutrition and effects of extra weight on the joints. When you are pared up with Melissa ...be prepared to learn a lot. Everyone there was so kind to me. I was treated with respect and kindness. My balance increased standing on only the left leg from 2 seconds to 15 seconds. On my right leg I can balance for a full 30 seconds when I started I only could do 3 seconds. I celebrate life everyday. I thank this team for taking wonderful care of me. Check them out for yourself. read more

This is a great gym! The staff is always friendly and personable. I have been going there for a number of years and the equipment is well maintained. Also, most of the members that regularly go there are very friendly as well. Everything is always clean and spotless. The lap pool, hot tub, sauna, and steam rooms are fantastic and the temperatures are always at a perfect setting. They have a racket ball court as well. A special shout out to Adel, Nancy and Laura who always brighten your day with a big smile. A special place with special people. My wife and I love it. read more

Excellent gym. Will become a YMCA starting October 2020. Has sauna, steam room, lots of fun workout machines most of which I can't describe. Clearly days of row after row of treadmills is over, yet they have plenty of those as well. Parking lot can be packed and yet workout machines only 3/4 full. Free weights, all sorts of various weight machines. Racket ball. Used to have pickle ball pre Covid so that will probably come back. Swimming pool is small and laps by reservation only, but I don't see this as deducting a star, it is what it is. Has a hot tub, never crowded. Nice locker rooms, good showers. Has trainers, currently shifting over to Y system, lots of various classes. Definitely caters to an older crowd, and those with disabilities. Nice support for those with COPD, has exercise physiologist. read more

Only wanted to visit a few times during a stay with family. Contacted prior to coming. Once I arrived I was told absolutely no that they do not reciprocate and it would be $60 for the week. Double what I pay for a whole month back home. Was rude and would make no exceptions. I asked about other Y locations and she mentioned Myrtle Beach and Georgetown. I drove almost 30 mins to Georgetown to be told the same. Absolutely unbelievable. Do better YMCA. Thought this was family caring community? read more

This is a fully equipped gym that is a great place to workout whether you are a local or visiting the area while on vacation. It's $15 for a day pass and well worth it in my opinion. They have a wide selection of cardio machines, weight machines, free weights, basketball court, pool, and even a small walking track. Cardio options ranged from different types of treadmills, ellipticals, stair masters, and much more. There's also a small but nice women's only workout area, which is a nice touch to have at any gym.This women's only area has some cardio machines, free weights, and space for stretching. The locker rooms have small sauna areas as well as showers and ample changing areas. All the equipment seemed well maintained and I was impressed with the variety that they had. They had a spacious area for ab/core work with plenty of exercise balls, mats, BOSU balls, and weighted medicine balls. They were very friendly at the front desk and didn't blink an eye when I wanted a day pass to use the gym. If you're here for more than a few days, they have 5 or 10 pack day passes available at a reduced rate. read more

See all

Please note that this YMCA is what they call an "independent" Y and does not recognize memberships from other locations in South Carolina. Day passes are available for $15. This needs to be better communicated on the web and social media before vacationers waste a trip to the facility. read more

This is a very nice and clean gym. They have everything you need. The clients are generally elderly. This is good because the bench presses, squat racks and most bodybuilding and weightlifting equipment are unoccupied. However, given that most of the people around are elderly it can be difficult to get motivated. It's a different experience when you go to a gym full of 20 and 30 year olds with ripped physiques, as it motivates you to up your game and try harder and have more discipline. When you are surrounded by senior citizens you are not going to get that rush to push yourself to the max. read more

This place was a life saver for me as i use only the pool and hot tub for my exercises, therapy, and my sore body after a hard day. The staff is great and the place is extra clean. However their Hot Tub is way too hot for my enjoyment to relax and massage my back and neck i understand some like it that hot but there are others (not just me) who would like it just a bit cooler and not at the hottest. The state says that they can have it up to 104 degrees. Most tubs I've been to usually run around 102-103 but this place won't budge. For the $60 a month I had to withdraw my membership as it was no longer a benefit to me, even thou I might sign back up only if i can get in when its cheaper. Not worth my $60 of my hard earned money if i get nothing back read more

I love this gym! It has everything you can possibly think of, mainly because it's connected to the hospital systems in the area and used for therapy. I go back because they are one of the few gyms that have a full basketball court that I can use to play volleyball on. **You have to ask for the volleyball though, which is located around the corner with the volleyball net. For some reason, they don't have many balls to play with... The only downside to this awesome gym is that you pay for it. Thankfully, my sis has a membership and gets guest passes, but I think it's almost $15 for the day- that's insane. They should def. be better about day passes. That being said, I would work out in the morning then maybe come back later and go for a swim or a sit in the sauna. read more

I don't know why family is in the title. This is not a place for families or people with children. I have a son with special needs and he likes to swim. The lifegaurds don't like the way he swims and so we get in trouble. We came for "family swim" and he jumped into the pool further than we thought he would and splashed an older adult - who quite frankly - should be able to handle that. We quickly addressed it and made him apologize. We are then told by administrators to control our child better. We decide to leave and he gets screamed at by a lifeguard for moving too quickly. Kids were made so unwelcome when it was heathpoint, but at least they were left alone in the one hour they were allowed, but it's worse now because they are technically allowed, but cannot be kids. I know we aren't the typical demographic, but we pay the same (actually, probably more because we have a "family" membership) and we certainly don't have equal use of the facilities. read more

This joint is the most horrible gym I've been to... I signed up for 1 year membership and on the first day a guy twice my age (I'm 40 years old) was rude on the treadmills!!! When I confronted him he said: Little girl has a problem" :(... Well I am 6'3" and with biceps bigger than this man's head... On the first day!!! :(... When I requested a refund the staff was leery to give me my money back... FORGET THIS PLACE!!! read more

Been here a few times and am a fan. In the area on vacation so a membership is not an option. I am staying on Pawleys and called the Georgetown and Myrtle YMCAs - they would both accept my out of state Y membership with a $5 fee. Healthpoint was $14/day and I didn't feel like driving 20 miles to the Y so I went here. Nice, clean, half rehab center half gym. They have a saltwater pool, gym, basketball court and offer some classes (i.e. yoga), and a workout area with 20+ cardio machines and an adequate number of weight machines and free weights. Not a musclehead gym, only one permanent flat bench and an equal mix of male/female and young/old. A little pricey, but a nice clean place to grab a workout. read more

This is my preferred gym of the South strand area. It has a physical therapy clinic, a day spa, pool, hot tub, steam room, sauna, multiple specialized work out rooms, racquet ball courts, basketball courts AND a fully furnished gym. The equipment is well taken care of by staff members and as usual, sometimes is crowded but what gym isn't!? The personal trainers are friendly, but not in an overbearing "I want to date you" way, they are generally concerned about fulfilling workout needs. Classes are a great way for the non-working out person to start. Then you can meet people and be on your merry way to pumping iron! read more

This gym is the highest priced in the area so you would expect good equipment. The equipment is very poor, old and in bad condition. They recently raised my dues which is crazy considering they don't put any money into the facility. The trainers seem well educated but the staff at the front door is rude! The most annoying issues are that the gym seems catered to retired individuals and they use up the basketball court for individual training sessions as well as family time during the busiest hours (5-7 PM.) For close to $100 a month for my wife and I, you could do bettert somewhere else. current member read more
