A little over a year ago I decided to take a chance and join Crossfit James Island. I can honestly say it has been the best decision that I have made since moving to Charleston. I have enjoyed the workouts, community, and coaching so much I have made it a part of my daily routine. CFJI has created a community for people who are looking to get better each and every day. Not everyday do I feel like working out, but I keep coming back to class because I genuinely enjoy the people I workout with. The community and coaches have truly hooked me. Everyone, from members to drop-ins are treated with respect, are welcomed, and cheered on throughout the workout. During class we cheer and support everyone from the first person to finish the workout to the last, everyone is supported and supportive. CFJI also separates themselves through their unparalleled coaching. They take the time to work individually with each member to ensure proper form throughout the class. Coaches provide cues throughout the workout to constantly reinforce proper technique on all of the the movements. The coaches will also work with you to provides scaled options to movements you might not be able to do yet. The scaled options will help you work on building strength and your workout is never compromised. I highly recommend visiting CFJI if you live or work in the Charleston Area or if you are heading to Folly Beach for a vacation! read more

I joined CrossFit James Island (CFJI) only a month ago, yet have still been totally impressed by it. It's not just a gym, it's a community of good, smart, motivated people who are looking to get the best out of life. The owner and head coach, Kyle, is a complete all-star. He's passionate about what he does, and is extremely well-informed about CrossFit, coaching, nutrition, etc. He's gone above and beyond to make me feel welcomed, and to make sure I carry out all the exercises in a safe and effective manner. His focus on nutrition is also excellent, and more than you could ever get in any other gym. The other coaches are also passionate, and all of them put safety, good form and personal attention at the heart of everything they do. I cannot recommend this gym enough, nor how thrilled I am to have joined it. For anybody in Charleston, there's simply no better place to work out - CFJI will change your life for the better. read more

CFJI is the one-stop-shop for total fitness (Strength, endurance, nutrition and mobility). I'm 40 years old, have been an athlete my whole life and can EASILY say I am in the BEST shape of my life. I walked through the doors in July at 197lbs -and 10 months later - I weigh 173lbs and am stronger than I have ever been. The coaches are dedicated to safety and form unlike any other gym I have ever belonged to. And the icing on the cake (not that I eat cake anymore) is that I have friendships that will last a lifetime and a group of members that are as close as family. Do yourself a favor and check it out.
