Brickhouse Gym

Chimene the massage therapist at Brickhouse is truly amazing. Her presence is very welcoming and relaxing. I went to her because of some ongoing soreness and knots in my back and I just felt super tight. After my sessions with her, I feel so relaxed and not tight. I do the same workouts but now I don’t feel as sore and my lifts are improving!!! Thank you Chimene <3

I have only experienced Brickhouse Gym as a visit to Chimene for a massage, but what an experience! She has immense strength in her hands as well as her intuitive knowledge in order to know where and how to release tension and muscle blocks, and I stepped off the table feeling like I'd left pounds of tension on it. In short, one of the most healing massages of my life, resetting not just soothing. Thank you Chimene!

It's a typical gym, nothing special. It's very small and unless you go to workout before ten in the morning you will be dealing with the typical meatheads and space space pirates that are there to talk and roam around. The guy named Lee gives his supposedly extensive background upon every introduction to a new person that comes (I assume that's his sales pitch for his qualifications in regards to being a personal trainer), Seems like an insecure mentality to me. I would not pay that guy to train me. He just goes around taking to people which is bothersome. There really isn't anything special about this gym other than a couple of hard to find gym apparatuses, but the lack of space and the attitude of people there isn't worth the fee. Planet fitness while having different atmosphere has way more space and nicer amenities. Admittedly the. equipment at Planet fitness is just Ok, but how much work does a person really need to get a pump? Brick house tries to have the "old school" feeling but comes up short giving more of a good old boy "in crowd" feeling instead.

Pretty nice place! Really cordial staff and an overall chill vibe. If I could give 10 stars, I would.

I went to this gym during a 10 week clinical rotation. It is by far the best gym I have been to and now that I am back home I miss it. At Brickhouse you won't experience a lot of the BS that happens at other gyms. Everyone here is serious about their workouts and the environment is very motivating. There are plenty of squat racks, deadlift platforms, and I can't speak for the afternoon/evening, but in the morning it was never overly crowded and I could always use the equipment I needed. We need more gyms like this.

Nice gym but be careful. You are signing a 1 year contract with them. I had an issue trying to cancel my membership. I was able to contact the gym owner and very quickly was able to address and resolve my situation. If you are looking for a powerlifting style gym I would recommend checking them out.

The gym itself is fine, but good luck trying to cancel your membership. If you walk in and want to sign up, they have no problem signing you up in person, on the spot. However, if you walk in and say you want to cancel, they will tell you to call a number for a billing company. The billing company will then tell you to email someone else and that they will get back to you in 3-5 business days.I have yet to have my membership cancelled and there's no reason it needs to be this difficult.

Off of first impressions just walking in, the older gentleman at the desk was very unwelcoming. I had questions about a membership and the possibility of using their facility for a small photoshoot. He was very dismissive. Told me to contact the owner for approval, followed by she’s on vacation and wouldn’t even give me a business phone number to contact her. I politely asked for an email and he barely could provide that. The gym itself looks old and worn down, very cluttered. Not sure why there seemed to be a gate keeping mentality here but I’m definitely never coming back regardless.

Coming from an actual bodybuilding perspective, this is the best gym in the Columbia, SC area.Great equipment, good facilities, and empowering atmosphere.Has good cardio space/equipment, awesome weights and machine selection and even space for crossfit.

They outsource their customer service; so if you decide to cancel, you'll be on hold for a long, long, long time talking to robots.On top of that, you can't even cancel over the phone. Unsure how to actually cancel.Great gym in and of itself!
