Black Flag Gym

With the emphasis of strength, fitness and whole body movement, Black Flag has been instrumental in my journey to continue to live and have a positive and healthy life. Thank you Black Frag! Oh and she doesn’t matter!

Wonderful gym with an awesome staff! I was in the area vacationing and needed a place to train...this ended up being perfect. The whole staff were incredibly helpful and inviting and the gym was equipped with everything needed for barbell training. It was also very clear to me that the staff care deeply about their members and that the regular clients training there were getting a lot out of their investment.

Great gym! Ian, Seb and the whole crew know what they are doing and can help you get to the results you want. I’ve never been a big fan of going to the gym, but this has been a completely different experience. I enjoy my workouts and am seeing huge improvements. If you’re looking for personal training, classes or just a great gym with a very motivating and supportive environment, this is your place.

My wife and I have been working with Ian and Seb at Black Flag Gym for about 6 months so far, best gym and personal trainer experience I have ever had. They are always on time for appointments, never have too many people scheduled in the gym at one time and spend the entire time focused on the training program they designed specifically for you. I came in with some nagging shoulder and back issues and can safely say those problems are a thing of the past. While we mostly work with Seb and Ian, we have had some sessions with Rebecca and Jon, they were great too. It’s clear that everyone in there knows what they are doing, pays close attention to you during each work out and pushes you to achieve the results you are looking for. Highly recommend these guys!

I can't say enough great things about this gym, the trainers, and owners! They truly do care about your progress and encourage you to keep going when you think you can't. The instruction is thorough, and they make sure to focus on proper technique. Not only am I gaining confidence back, but now I have more energy to chase after my kids. Thank you to Black Flag! You guys are changing people's lives more than you know.

Can't say enough great things about Black Flag Gym along with Ian and Seb - great dudes that care about giving people a safe, clean, well-equipped space to work out in. Super knowledgeable, friendly, and always happy to help or answer any questions. I've taken classes and personal training sessions with them and some of their staff and it's always been a great experience. Recently (the past 7 months) I've been doing 3x personal training sessions per week and have been blown away by the results. I wanted to get stronger and have more mobility but was nervous because of weak/injured lower back and shoulder from old military injuries - but one of their trainers (Andrew, a PT med student) has helped me open up and strengthen my back and shoulder to a place of mobility and strength I was never sure I would see again. I feel amazing and find myself looking forward to my next gym visit. Stoked to have them so close to us on the island and looking forward to continuing my fitness journey with them. Wish I could give more than 5 stars!

Black Flag is without a doubt one of the coolest places in Charleston and the best gym out there. I began my fitness journey here about a month ago and am already seeing the incredible impact and transformation training is having on my body. The Black Flag team all goes the extra mile to help members excel and workout the right way. S/O to Sebastian, Ian, Jon, Andrew, Andrea and the team who bring incredible energy every day and keep me excited to keep working and getting better. Definitely recommend doing classes as they are perfect for staying fit on a busy schedule.

This gym is the real deal. My husband and I are both members at Black Flag, and both began here with very different ability levels. We love that we can take the classes together, and are still each challenged to achieve our own separate goals.As a beginner with bootcamp style classes, I am extremely appreciative of the time that the trainers take to correct form and provide feedback. Mike, Ian and Seb are patient, motivating, and extremely knowledgable. After 8 months, this is easily the strongest I've felt, and the most motivated I have been to continue to reach my own fitness goals. If you're looking for the best gym around - you've found it!

I have been going to this gym working with a personal trainer for 6 months. I have worked with 4 different trainers, and loved the opportunity to learn new things from each one of them during the start of my journey. Each of them inserts their own knowledge and personality to every workout, which makes it so fun and challenging! Seb took on my very first training session, and I was so nervous. He made me feel instantly calm and helped me to work on the basics of form without making the experience too intimidating. I started working with Mike regularly, who is a huge sports fan with an even bigger personality. He made every workout super fun and helped me continue to work on my skills and form so I could start lifting more weight and keep climbing the hill! Then Ian took me on and was really able to start working on the finer details of the heavier lifting. He was an awesome support and really did his best to push me farther in every session! I have now started to work with Angelica exclusively for the last couple months which has allowed her to get to know my strengths and weaknesses so she can tailor every workout to our goals. She is so fun and extremely supportive - I am lucky to have her working with me!I am so happy and excited with the strides I have made in feeling more fit and healthy. I love this gym family and I can’t wait to see where this journey takes me with their help and guidance!

I joined Black Flag about two months ago. I was a member at Golds Gym and when my workout was left up to me I either didn’t really know what I was doing or more often just didn’t go. I wanted a gym with more structure and help and that’s exactly what I found at Black Flag. It has a great atmosphere with great members. Ian, Sebastian, and Michael are amazing trainers that take time to help you through workouts with encouragement, making sure you have proper form, using the correct weights, etc. I always leave after a “Boot Camp” class feeling like I had an amazing workout. It’s kept me going back more than I ever have with anything else. I highly recommend that anyone give them a try, and they even offer a free week trial!
