You wear a bracelet that tracks your heartbeat. It is supposed to motivate you to try harder to catch up with other people at the gym. It also made me feel out of shape compared to other people here. I rotated between a row machine, floor movements, use of small weights, and then the treadmill. The 50 minutes seemed to go by quickly, and I definitely felt it in my whole body the next day!

Coach Missy and the trainers here are all extremely easy to talk to, helpful, understanding, and truly know a lot about fitness! Their quick classes are fast paced so you don't get bored.

From the owner: Functional Training is the engagement in exercises that mimic or recreate everyday movement.

This provides a challenging workout for our clientele that is always evolving and never the same. The motivation and encouragement in a Group Training facility create a pulsing, upbeat environment where goals are met and exceeded. Communities promoting fitness, good health and growth are forged in F45 studios around the world and are the source of our strength as an international brand.

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.

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.

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!
