I’ve worked out with Wes for about 18 months, and his joy, enthusiasm, and positivity are contagious! His skill level and knowledge about physical fitness are surpassed only by his ability to connect with his members. Columbia is so blessed to have this beautiful facility led by someone who truly and sincerely loves what he does. Highly recommend!

I have trained with Wes for the past five years and I can say that he is the absolute BEST at what he does! He knows when and how to push you out of your comfort zone. He makes all the necessary accommodations and modifications for any aches, pains and injuries. I have been thoroughly pleased with his online workouts and can't wait to be back in the gym!

Love the pre-recorded virtual workouts (since I don’t wake up in time to do them live). Wes is motivating and instructional and the workout structures are varied enough that you don’t get bored; I always end up with a good puddle of sweat on my mat. Excited for the physical gym to open but will still plan on doing the virtual classes since that works best for my schedule. Even with my home gym equipment, Wes makes sure to share a variety of ways to make the exercises harder as needed to continue pushing myself to get stronger. I am SO happy EQ Fitness has the virtual classes! Whether in the gym or at home, plan on EQ/Wes giving you an awesome workout!

EQ leaves you with very few excuses to skip your workout! Wes is an excellent trainer who meets you were you are and always motivates you to do more. He is welcoming and greets everyone with a warm smile! The zoom options and recorded videos are game changer for busy schedules. EQ really offers so much more than other similar fitness studios in the area!

I love EQ Fitness! Wesley is a great trainer who is helpful, encouraging, and cares about each of his clients. The virtual live workouts keep you motivated throughout, and even if you miss a live workout and need to watch a recorded one - it still feels like you are attending a live class. Also, the community is so welcoming. I look forward to working out each day with EQ!

Wes is an amazing trainer who truly cares about his clients. He takes time to get to know each person individually. He is a great motivator, provides modifications, and pushes you out of your comfort zone when he knows you’re ready! EQ also offers a 24 hour gym when you can’t make one of the classes which is super convenient! And EQ has Kate, an amazing physical therapist who is on site and can help with your PT needs!

Absolutely the best gym family you could imagine. The workouts are fun and challenging. Wes has an amazing way of adapting the workouts to meet your individual needs with up mods and down mods for everyone no matter if this is your first workout or 1000th. Awesome members who truly care about each other and inclusive of all. You will not regret giving EQ Fitness a try!

I’ve been looking for a workout that I enjoy for 10+ years. Wes has been the first trainer to provide that. Also, he only attracts the best type of people so I’m surrounded by supportive good hearted people during each workout. Sweat and laughs every time 😂🥵 …

Wow, where to even start. Wesley has been my trainer for the last three years and I cannot begin to tell you all of the wonderful things that he brings to the table. Wes has pushed me when I needed to be pushed and given me modifications when I when I was pregnant or had an injury. He works hard to accommodate all of his clients and makes sure that we are getting the most out of the workouts. He’s friendly, professional and always a phone call away. He will keep you laughing during the workout and play hype music to keep you going. You won’t regret joining.
