Fitness Factory Charleston

"Pretty much the “east side” gym. I paid about $50 for a sign up fee and $19 a month (I think…). The price is well worth it if you live on the east side and want to go somewhere convenient and close. Just don’t expect Equinox and be reasonable. Pros are that this gym is 24/7, the key fob really makes it a safe place to come. Also a lot of equipment the machines are all pretty much Matrix brand which are on the way cheaper end but a few plate loaded machines make up for it. Has more bench press stations than it does squat racks and smith machines which is odd. The music they play is pretty good, mostly hip hop and reggaeton not the pop stuff you normally hear in commercial gyms. I found myself taking off the headphones and just listening time to time. People definitely don’t put plates back and the free weights are a bit disorganized but that’s because most of the clientele are high school boys working out with their amigos. They’ve been doing construction and use a big black tapestry to cover it and it’s pretty ugly to be honest. Really makes the gym look cheaper than it actually is. There’s a vegas discount nutrition in the gym which is super convenient to grab protein. The best part of the gym is that there’s no contract. You can cancel such a 31 days notice if your monthly payment"

"Treadmills could be updated. If you aren't quick to react , you can easily get injured. The mat that turns moves and gets loose when you are in a faster set.⚠️ And the boxing heavy bag should be moved to back area by big screen red carpet, to prevent inconvenience with personal training classes that clutter's current location of heavy bag. I can't leave out Miguel in night shift, excellent customer service. I been at this jym for quite a while and never seen much hard working attendant. And flawless with cleaning jym and restrooms! And very skilled in making sure everyone feels welcome! Miguel is the only reason I have a 5 star review."

"I regret saying this gym sucks but now I'm beginning to feel that I missed it so much! When it was closed, all that is left is pure nothingness! Oh, goodness! I also regret canceling my membership at this gym, as I remembered they will be closing on October 30th. They weren't joking. They will be opening the new location on Lamb and Lake Mead in February. Reopen this location now!"
