Pivotal Fitness - West Ashley

Been working out at Pivotal for around 15 years. Well, I was. They wouldn't adjust their price to what I was willing to pay, which I thought was plenty fair for what you get. They got 2 stars due to location (it's on my way to work) and it is 24 hours.But other than that the new location is a disappointment compared to the old one. Layout is horrible, much smaller, which explains why there is less equipment. A lot of us saps thought they were moving to improve the gym, but come to find out, and if i'm incorrect I will apologize, they were forced to move because they are razing that side of the shopping center and building a new Publix over there. And the "new" equipment? That's hilarious, they only re-painted a lot of the old equipment. I never use the restrooms but some regulars I talk to tell me sometimes it doesn't seem like they've been cleaned for weeks. I see the dust and grime build up myself on the gym floor.I hear a lot of the cardio equipment is in poor condition/in need of repair also.Want an example of our frustration? The photo of that dysfunctional fly/rear delt machine is from August 11th, and it had been broken for days prior to the photo. I'm writing this review Sept 3rd, 2023. The old gym had TWO of these, which were always being used. And they really don't have any substitute anywhere else in the gym.All I can suggest is do your research and definitely do a week or two trial run before you pay anything. And I am certainly intrigued by all those well written, glowing 5 star reviews.. gotta be a different location. Unfortunately, this gym killed my mojo.

I am in the beginning stages of working out and eating healthier. Jordan has been an amazing asset to my journey!! She is there to help even when we are not in a session. She motivates me to go further than I ever thought I could and I love it!!!

Staff are friendly and helpful. Facility is clean. Members are social and positive. Pivotal fitness is by far one of the best gyms I ever joined.

Equipment needs to updated and the adjustable benches are on their last breath but a good place to get a good set it in

Great experience every time I walk through the doors. Nice and clean. Everyone is knowledgeable and friendly. 👍🏻 …

Great gym! Friendliest staff I’ve ever met. Highly recommend

I was a sent a free week trial membership from the website. Tried to sign up. Was texted that someone would be getting to me soon! Hours went by nothing. I called to make sure they were open. Only got voicemails that someone would call me back. Hour later nothing. Called again, same game. Nothing! Drove over to Pivotal to just sign up for a year’s membership. Couldn’t even get in to sign up, needed a barcode to enter. I asked someone going in how you sign up. She said when someone is actually here. So, off to Golds I go. Horrible business plan!

I use the little neighborhood Pivotal gym in Hanahan and think it’s great. This facility is small in scale and not fancy, but has a variety of equipment for different levels of users from hardcore powerlifters to midrange athletes to older people (like me) trying to stay in shape. Staff is friendly and helpful and NO PRESSURE!! If you’re looking for a boutique or a lot of classes, you should look at another location, but this one is convenient and suits my needs.
