I really want to give this place more than two stars, I really do. Unfortunately, there are a number of issues I have with the gym that just make it hard for me to do so.There are a lot of good things about the gym: it's conveniently located if you're in Beaufort or the surrounding area, it has a very active member base across a number of sports seemingly which range from BJJ/MMA, gymnastics, boxing, and more. For parents, this is a good place to workout while your kid has child care and/or a place for your kid to be active. The weightlifting equipment (what I was there for) isn't bad necessarily, and the gym schedule from 0500-2100 is pretty decent for a commercial gym schedule. Also, most importantly, the rates of the gym for guest passes are 5 dollars your first time and then 10 after, which is a lot cheaper than some other places I've been.All this being said, I had major issues both nights with both the equipment/environment of the gym and the type of members. The biggest glaring issue is the weight lighting area whether machines or free weights is absolutely chaotic; there are weights scattered EVERYWHERE and nobody reracks anything. Plates are all over the floor, and dumbbells are scattered about not even placed on racks nor even paired together half the time. Additionally, there are several dumbbell weights that only have one pair while other weight options (mostly those below 20lbs) have multiple sets which are equally scattered across the weight room.This problem was further an issue with members both nights simply hogging equipment for over 30+ minutes without any kind of care in the world for other people trying to use the singular set of weights/machine/etc that they were using.Overall, gym is decent if you're in the area visiting and don't want to drive a bunch elsewhere or can't get on base to MCAS. I do personally believe the whole "have every athletic activity present and basic means to conduct it" without really investing super hard into one sport or the other is a little annoying. Also where I come from, major gyms have the ability to be 24 hours which I feel like this gym could do, but I digress. My primary issues lie within cleanliness and general order of the gym, and getting better lifting equipment/weights. Oh by the way, please make sure your child isn't clogging toilets in the bathroom-- I had to actively stop a ~5 year old kid from doing that.

Great gym but the boxing program can use a TON of work. They need to hire actual boxing coaches who have either fought themselves or have actually trained successful fighters.

I joined because they said they had child care. The first night i went it was great, Liz watched my baby and she was super sweet and friendly and asked for my name and for my babys. i came the next day in the morning to work out and madison was in the child care room. she was on her phone when i walked in and didn’t even notice me until i said something. she was still on her phone whenever i was putting my babies stuff down and didn’t say anything to me. I went to do my work out(40min) and halfway thro just went to check and see how my kid(4month)was doing and i saw madison on her phone. 20 min later whenever i was done i went to get her and again she didn’t even notice me till i asked if i could get my baby(i had to say it twice). there were also about four other kids in there probably from age of 3-7. she had left my baby in her carseat the whole time and just faced her towards the tv. I was a little upset about it at first but didn’t say anything until that night after thinking about it. i called and talked to the manager and told her what happened. she was patronizing and condescending, and told me that they weren’t a preschool and that they are not there to teach or discipline kids. She then told me to come at another time to see if i would get along with the other girls more(mornings work best with my schedule). i told her i didn't have the expectation of them to be teaching or disciplining kids just for attentiveness, which it states on their website. During the conversation i thought the phone was breaking up so i said excuse me and she said, ”sorry, im multitasking”and then in a very sarcastic tone said, “i promise i’m paying attention.” It was after the conversation with the manager i decided to cancel my membership after only having it for two days. I payed 84$ for the membership which included the enrollment fee, and the $9.99 for childcare. I am not able to get any of the money back and i could still attend till the end of the month but i don’t feel safe having my child there after my conversation with the manager. The childcare room is very dark due to broken lights and does not look like it is cleaned often same with the bathrooms.

Honestly, it's a great gym, the amount of options with weights/equipment. The diversity in the classes offered from Martial Arts classes, as well as the gymnastics, aerial, ninja, HIIT and pole fitness. The instructors for the classes are very friendly, and so are the people in the gym. A wide variety of products available for post workout, cold drinks etc! And the prices are very fair.

The absolute best place to train. Everything is spaced out and everyone is really friendly.

A big gym with great equipment and programs. The space itself could use some tlc. I’ll definitely be using the bathroom at home.

I really like this gym. There’s plenty of equipment to use and I’m never waiting to use anything. My only gripe is that this place is supposed to open at 5 am and it’s very inconsistent. It’s 5:21 am and there still isn’t an employee here. Staff needs to be way more reliable as it cuts down on the time I have to work out.
