EQ Fitness and Physical Therapy

This is my first time doing anything like this and I find it simply amazing! It is so refreshing to be encouraged by Wes and all those in class with me. If you are looking for a place to grow without feeling judged, look no further. Ive been laid out aplenty on the floor and no one is pointing at me. Actually, some are laid out beside me. HAHAHA I have also started sessions with Dr. Kate and I am finding muscle relief for the first time in over a year! I cant wait to look back in 3-6 months to see my progress! :)

My fiancé has been dragging me to EQ on the weekends. At first I was reluctant but the staff and members made me feel so welcomed and comfortable. It’s been years since I’ve worked out and Wes was great about providing modifications for everything. 10/10 would recommend. I actually enjoy going now!

Best gym and best trainer in Columbia. Highly recommend this gym for anyone that is looking a gym with creative and intense workouts.

The best fitness facility in Columbia! Amazing trainer, staff and people to surround yourself with!

EQ takes the time to know each member and their goals. Truly a unique environment and welcoming to everyone. Wish I could give 10 stars.

Great trainer! Super clean gym! Effective use of time! Trainer gives great detail to proper form and truly knows every single member! Covid fears be-gone! Classes can be done virtually without any loss of the personal in-studio feel or sweat 😅 …

Best community you will ever find! Not only a judgment free space but a great group of people who cheer you on to be the best version of yourself! The trainer really knows his stuff and always finds ways to push you to becoming better at whatever fitness level for you personally. Lastly, physical therapy is provided right there at the gym! It can’t get any better to support this amazing local business!!!!

Look no further for a gym that cares about you. They have thought of everything - 24 hour access, free child care, virtual options, fun challenging group classes AND physical therapy! Wes goes above and beyond to meet you at your current fitness level and motivates you to grow. Kate ensures you can continue working out by prescribing specific exercises and activities that treat/prevent injury. It's the perfect team. Join! You won't regret it!

Where to begin! If you are looking for a personable, challenging and fun workout environment, look no further than EQ! Wesley and Kate Newsome really are a powerful duo. They both deeply care about the well-being and equilibrium of each of their clients. They are people driven in all aspects of their buisness and in gym ownership. As a former athlete and someone who has suffered many injuries, the workouts Wes designs meets everyone where they are in their fitness and health journies and goals. Kate has helped my recovery from ACL reconstruction and overall performance increase in so many ways. Come check them out!

Wes Newsom is truly the best. I went from being relatively sedentary to regularly lifting, jumping, running (eh), squatting, etc. under his careful watch. I needed all of the modifications when I started and he made me comfortable with what I couldn't do and then helped me turned my couldn't list into a long list of things I can do and do well. It's crazy to think that he has been training me for 5 years. There is no looking back. I'll be 50 this year and am the healthiest and most active that I have been since I was a child. If you are looking for a trainer that has great energy, makes working out fun, creates a community amongst the clients and looks out for each person working out, you'll find it at EQ Fitness. I love the beautiful, clean new gym, the trainer, the physical therapist, and the friends that I have made there. My husband and kids work out with me, too. Absolutely top notch!
