Worked with Mas as a personal trainer. He's knowledgeable and motivating, and he's meeting with me on my schedule. 24/7/365 access to the gym with some free weekend group classes.

Absolutely the best gym in town! All the trainers take the time to ensure you’re doing the movements correctly to prevent injury. I’ve been coming to the 5am class for a year and a half and I’ve never left without feeling I got a great workout in.

Hands down the best gym in Columbia. Been going here for about two years now and regularly attend the 5:30am class. The trainers know you by name and are apt to modify the group training workouts both easier and harder based on the client. The energy here is unlike any place I have ever been, and is always uplifting even on some of the roughest days. They know your limits yet still push you towards greatness and the best of your ability. Special shout-out to Jerrell, Kris, and Big Joe, some of the best staff.

Best gym in Columbia! Has both the cheapest membership ($20) if you just wanna use the gym but also great trainer led class memberships if you want someone to guide you. API has helpful and supportive trainers all while being locally owned. I have gone to lots of different gyms in different states over the last 8 years but API is the best gym I've ever been to.

If you’re tired of being average, go here. The gains and results I’ve gotten have been incredible. I used to be a runner but I wanted to start putting on muscle and prioritize my fitness more seriously since my job has forced me to put my health on the back burner. I have been able to make great progress API!

Such a great group of knowledgeable trainers that encourage and challenge members to become their best selves physically! It’s a fantastic atmosphere that I enjoy showing up to every single time; the community feel is wonderful. Bonus-I feel stronger than ever!

Favorite gym that I’ve tried — and I have tried several — here in Columbia. I was mainly looking for a gym with competent trainers but I’ve gotten that and more. The Bootcamps on Saturdays are always super hype which a vibe that I have not experienced at other gyms and the owners, coaching staff, and other gym members are like friends. I really enjoy having such a supportive and diverse community.

Talk about motivation! Jerrell, Michael, Joe & Kris at 5am are MONEY! They make sure you aren’t lifting too heavy to hurt yourself but push your limits to what is achievable for each individual. They help with posture and make sure you are lifting with good form. You are surrounded by a huge supportive family

If you are looking for something different, this is it! The energy at this place is contagious. I’ve never had a more caring atmosphere when I’m working out and this place rocks! The trainers here are energetic, knowledgeable, know exactly what they are doing, will answer any questions you have and they care!!! You aren’t a number here and it shows. The workouts are incredible!! You won’t find anything else like this at a normal gym- just go here and thank me later.

API’s owners, trainers, and clientele are all people you should know. The best gyms always attract the best people! I have been working out there for 2 1/2 years and love it. Hard workouts coached by knowledgeable and fun trainers that get results. My family thinks I am addicted to this gym, but really I just like all the people there so much that I can’t stay away. You should try it!

I’ve been a part of many gyms in our community throughout the years, and there are none that have it all like API! The gym, the hype, the music, the trainers, the variety of workouts, and the friends you make are just a few of my favorite things! The trainers are attentive and supportive no matter what fitness level you are at. The energy you feel every time you enter the gym gets you motivated and ready to crush your goals. I have met so many fitness-focused folks like myself that have become friends outside the gym. Lastly, I love that API is always giving back to our community. It’s like a family! ????

API offers many different class options at many different times during the day and evening which makes it easier to find time to attend and not make excuses. When I joined up in August I was new to most of the exercises and fast pace of the classes which made it challenging at first. The trainers all do an excellent job of working with the class to ensure that your form is correct and that you are reaching your goals. I feel like I'm in the best shape of my life thanks to all of their help. If you are serious about getting into top shape the API family is a great choice.
