Best gym in town: sauna, steam room, racquetball, pool, towel service, and perks you don’t get at other gyms!

Did not provide option to cancel during closure due to coronavirus and refuses to offer refunds to members who wish to cancel and get their money back, which is in violation of several consumer protection laws. Will be filing complaint with Attorney General and Consumer Affairs.

I'm very disappointed they continue to charge us money during gym closure, more then 2 months. They offered credit but no refund. No credit needed because we are ending our memberships. It is not fair.

Used to be 5 stars and then they cut ALL kids programming. We thought of the wellness center and all of its staff like family - it was such an amazing community and I was excited for my kids to grow up being part of it. From childcare, to swim lessons to summer camps....now it’s all gone. Such a big loss for the families of Charleston.

Great facility! Probably the best in Charleston overall. I was actually thinking of rejoining, but the community price went from $60 to $76 since I canceled my membership in February.I'm not paying $76. I'll check out O2.

Will not let me cancel my gym membership even with coronavirus circumstances. I work at MUSC with COVID patients and do not feel right using a gym right now. However, because I signed 12 month contract they will not let me cancel. I am a frontline worker paying for a gym I cannot use (out of respect for others) and I feel there should be some flexibility with the contract given the PANDEMIC. I feel that this is a real disservice to the community and I will absolutely not be rejoining.

Unfortunately if you live downtown you have few options. It's the only pool (which for some reason is never cleaned). They raised prices and told no one, and then had maintenance problems all winter that left the pool area with no heat. Nice people, just really poor maintenance. Charleston needs a good YMCA. Don't try to drive there except on the weekends.

After being a member for 24 years they raised the prices to $76 with noadvance warning. I have made many friends there and the staff is wonderful. There is plenty of ways to cut cost in a business. Never mess with your guaranteed revenue stream. Mgt. made a mistake in my opinion and I'm disappointed.I only used the gym 2-3 days a week. You guys just lost a wonderful 24 year guaranteed annuity stream. I'd love to have someone explain to me how this makes good business sense. Planet Fitness here I come for 19.95 a month.
