Big Work Fitness

Fantastic experience: Pretty much the best gym around, the staff was extremely friendly and everybody is very supportive. Equipment is exactly what is needed and no frills. If you're looking for a gym in the area this is the place. Prob worth a drive even considering the other places around aren't as good in my opinion.

Fantastic experience: Now this is a real gym, with inside and outside work out stations. 3/3/22- Still an amazing Gym. One of my favorite work out stations is the Punching bags.

Fantastic experience: I love this gym! There is such a great culture here. From the first time I walked in and every time after, everyone is super nice. This gym has all the things you need to lift heavy. It’s a “to-the-point” gym that doesn’t sell you on all the fluffy stuff that you never use anyway. Also, they have an outdoor space that is really great on those beautiful days. Jason is super nice and the coaches for training are awesome too! I’ve been working with Dani for personal training/coaching and have been feeling great and seeing results. I highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Awesome spot. Came in from out of town and dropped in today. They were very responsive to get me a guest pass and they have a great indoor and outdoor workout area

Fantastic experience: Big Work is an incredible place. So many changes for the best! We love Jason :)

Fantastic experience: An excellent gym located in downtown Charleston. Amazing atmosphere supported by knowledgeable and friendly staff

Fantastic experience: Several months ago i was searching for a gym and this was recommended to me. The description given was "its a real gym, more squat racks than treadmills and youll actually make gains there". I decided to walk in and apply for a membership. When the person at the front desk (Danielle, who was very helpful and nice, Jason will come later) ask how she could help me, i stated "make me un-fat". She indicated they could do that if i had the motivation and signed me up for a membership. Over the following days i proceeded to go with no real purpose or aim, just lifting and following poor advice from tabloid type lifting articles. Now enter the other manager Jason. He noticed that i had no sense of what to do and approached me. Long story short, thru him and a few others, 4 months later im the same weight, 1.5 inches down on my waist, and have added almost 100lbs to all of my compound lifts. This gym is the real deal. Other gyms claim to be "judgement free" however the truth dosent need to be stated. This gym is only filled with good management, and positive people who believe in bringing those around them up, never putting down. If you want a gym, a real one, where you can actually explore the physical limits of the human body, this is the gym for you. Mediocrity is a sad state of the human condition, perfection is a choice. Make the right one and join.

Fantastic experience: Big Works is the best gym in charleston. The atmosphere is great and will motivate you to push yourself. New management has been accommodating and provides equipment upgrades regularly. Overall, Big Works is a 10/10 gym experience for anyone looking to get great a workout in, regardless of your fitness level!

Fantastic experience: The new management has been phenomenal. Although he is a little bit terrifying in size, Jason is a very kind hearted and helpful individual. Ask him for help and he provides with a smile. Big Work Fitness...the best gym in SC

Fantastic experience: Love this place. It has everything you need available 24/7 365 days a year. The staff is super friendly and helpful!

Fantastic experience: What a place to workout. I was only in town for a few days and needed somewhere I could keep up with training. Everybody was super friendly. Ideal if you’re looking for a proper place to train whether it be for a couple of days or longer. Loved the atmosphere and look forward to going back there when I’m next in town. Thanks a lot guys!

Fantastic experience: Love this gym! Everything you need for solid workout, on your own schedule, at any level of fitness. Members have key fob access to the gym 24 hrs a day and bringing guests on a day pass is easy via their app signup. The manager is super welcoming, friendly and helpful and has done a great job improving the gym since he started. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I was in Charleston visiting for two months and became a member at Big Work Fitness Factory. I can honestly say it has been the absolute best gym I’ve ever been to. They have all the equipment you can imagine and is a large space to get everything done. The staff member were extremely friendly and helpful. Whenever I’m back in Charleston I’ll be back at Big Work.

Fantastic experience: Was visiting Charleston for two weeks and needed a place to work out. Big Work was the perfect place. Just what I was looking for. Great atmosphere, great equipment, great people!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Fantastic gym in downtown Charleston. The atmosphere is unlike any other gym I’ve visited. The staff is super accommodating, the old-school vibe gives your workout an edge. Olympic lifting, powerlifting, bodybuilding, CrossFit, any discipline can be accommodated!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Was visiting Charleston for the week so I got myself one of the week passes. Great value for $55 for the week. Great gym, great energy, super friendly and helpful staff.

Fantastic experience: Just in town for a day and was excited to see this gym was close to my hotel. Decent sized gym with great selection of equipment. Loved the outdoor work area with stones and a keg. Only thing that people should know ahead of time is concerning the day passes. The website says to stop in between 7 am and 7 pm and get a day pass from a staff member, but when I showed up there around 10 am, no staff were around. Luckily a member let me in once I showed him that I'd purchased a day pass. He also said that the owner/staff aren't in at predictable times, so it's best to call ahead if you're trying to use a day pass. If you have a monthly membership they have key fobs for 24/7 access.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism , Quality Dope place to train when visiting! Outdoor space is awesome and has every piece of equipment you need to do BIG WORK! Owner is a legend.

Fantastic experience: Big work seems to be the only serious gym in Charleston and it's already one of my favorite gyms that I've ever trained in. They have all the equipment you could possibly need for strength training combined with an atmosphere that will immediately add 10 lbs. To your bench. If you're serious about lifting I can't recommend this place enough!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism I was in search of a gym while visiting town and big work didn’t disappoint. Friendly staff, easy access, efficient equipment and amazing atmosphere. I highly recommend this location if you’re looking for all the elements I mentioned, especially if you’re a current athlete or one of the past this place will satisfy your needs.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism Stayed in Charleston for a month and this was the perfect place to workout. This gym has a little bit of everything and it was very easy to sign up. Enjoyed lifting here!

Fantastic experience: I was visiting Charleston and found this gym! I like to visit Charleston a lot and now I know where to go every time! The gym has great equipment and the atmosphere was chill and nonjudgmental. The owner was personable and helpful. I recommend this gym for locals and visitors.

Fantastic experience: Hands down my favorite gym in downtown Charleston. Good equipment, good people. They have equipment for every athlete whether its Olympic lifting, strongman, or gymnastics. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Charleston. Raw, underground feel with tons of unique and quality equipment. The owner is very friendly and constantly making upgrades to better the facility. Definitely check this one out if your in the area!

Fantastic experience: Just finished up a workout and photo shoot here and this gym is amazing! I’m from Michigan and the outdoor/indoor facility has a great feel and I recommend everyone to check it out!

Fantastic experience: Strength training paradise! All kinds of bars, a log, atlas stones, tons of squat racks, kilo bumpers for the weightlifters... and probably a lot of other stuff I didn't notice during my quick visit. I just popped in on a 1 day pass while I was in town, but they had all I needed and more!

Fantastic experience: Came in from out of town for my buddies company party. Awesome gym, great hospitality. Loved all the equipment and atmosphere!

Fantastic experience: While this was my first time to Charleston, I am very anxious to get back to Big Workout Fitness. The highlight of my days, were my workouts. Feeling strong, feeling empowered and feeling great. The hours of 24/7 are fantastic, as well as the equipment, members, trainers and owner. If you try just one workout, you will want to come back for more!!

Fantastic experience: Richrof and the whole Big Work team know what’s up. Amazing gym and amazing experience. We were traveling through town looking for a workout and they made us feel right at home. Gym has everything you need for CrossFit, powerlifting and just getting after it. Tell your people to workout here. I will certainly be back anytime I’m in the area

Fantastic experience: Best gym I’ve been a member at period. This is a “no-BS” kind of gym and has a really cool underground old school feel. Downstairs has a full assortment of racks with Olympic bumper weights along with various bench presses, trap bars, and machines. Upstairs has all the cables and grips you could dream of along with a heavy bag and speed bag for boxing. They even have outdoor Astroturf for lunges and sled pulls. Gym is chalk friendly, and hard work is not scarce here. Honesty couldn’t say enough about this gym. Staff is outstanding, gym is 24/7 which was a huge plus. My only regret is that I am only in the area for the summer and will have to go back to a much more lame gym back home. I will definitely miss this place and the gains I received.

Fantastic experience: No contract no problem... Everything you need here CrossFit, Gymnastics, Power lifting, machines, endurance machines that are all top of the line! Great atmosphere! Protein shakes and smoothies inside! Every kind of athlete here is welcome

Fantastic experience: I was in town for a wedding and had the chance to stop by and lift at this spot. Great experience for sure. There is a ton of powerlifting and strength-training equipment to choose from, and having other dedicated lifters around creates a great atmosphere for lifting. Will be back next time I am in town!

Fantastic experience: Traveling to Charleston from out of town and looking to lift some weights. Every other "gym" I found online was either a cycling studio, cross fit gym, or some other fitness center where you could take aerobics classes. All I wanted was to move some weight around, and Big Works let me do just that. The price for a day pass was cheap ($10), and the owner was really helpful working with me so I could come in early with the time slot that worked for my schedule. For any other combat veterans out there, this gym reminded me a lot lifting in Iraq...basically a plywood structure with big fans circulating the air around a large room full of old free weights. What more could you want?

Fantastic experience: I was in town on vacation and this gym is just like being at my home gym. There are plenty of platforms for oly and powerlifting. Upstairs has machines and an MMA area. They even have stones and logs. If you’re looking for a place to chalk up and sweat this is it.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic barbell gym. Top notch equipment with plenty of squat racks, specialty bars, etc. Definitely not your typical big box corporate gym.

Fantastic experience: This gym is the definition of an Adult Playground!! The gym is FULL of almost every single type of equipment you could need regardless of how AND when you train since they’re open 24 hours - Weightlifting (men’s + women’s bars, kilo plates, change plates, platforms, squat racks, jerk blocks, etc.), powerlifting, bodybuilding, strong man, CrossFit (ropes, bands, rigs, rowers), athletic performance, you name it, they have the equipment for it. I dropped in at the gym a few times on business and the staff were extremely friendly. They even offered to let me use their personal tripod to film my lifts :) By far the best equipped and most unique gym I’ve ever been too. I highly recommend checking them out!!!

Fantastic experience: Great drop in. Bare bones powerlifting gym but was able to get a weightlifting workout done on one of their squat rack platforms. No women’s barbells (that I could find) but I don’t usually mind that as long as I can get my work done. No AC so it’s suuuuuuuper hot inside in the summer. Shower available as well!

Fantastic experience: This is possibly the best gym in the Charleston area, great equipment, great atmosphere, 24 hour access and the rates aren't bad at all. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: My wife and I trained here every day during our vacation in charleston. Great facility for anyone looking to get stronger and more fit. It has all you need and no frills (which is exactly what we look for). Staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating. We couldn't say enough nice things about this place and were sad to leave for the last time when we left charleston.

Fantastic experience: This gym is a legitimate “powerlifting” gym! Texas Deadlift bar, many squat racks with platforms. Chains, bands, body building equipment, knee wrap roller. Shirtless allowed if that’s your bag! Awesome vacation drop in spot for the strong! My wife and loved it!

Fantastic experience: This gym is awesome! Along with the cool setup, and the specialty equipment it is one of the few gyms that has a Donkey Calf Machine! This is the gym to go to if you're out of town or looking for a gym to go too when moving in to town. It's open 24 hours a day.

Fantastic experience: Home away from home! We were in Charleston for a wedding and looking for a place to grab a workout. This place is awesome. The owner showed up on a Sunday to let us in so we could drop in ($10) and treated us like old friends. (Other gyms in the area were $20-$25). The gym is clean and has everything you need from weights to cardio. I highly recommend stopping by Big Works!

Fantastic experience: Solid, no-nonsense gym. One of the few places around town you can find a number of squat racks. Friendly staff is also accommodating. The gym is 24 hours, so if you have a membership, you can come and go as you please.

Fantastic experience: I travel all over the country for work and am always looking for a gym to go to for a cheap day pass. This was the best gym I've been to. It had everything a powerlidter could want and all the employees were friendly and had no problem with helping. If I lived in Charleston, this would be my gym!

Fantastic experience: Dropped in while visiting Charleston and gotta say that I'm super impressed with this gym. All kinds of racks and equipment, perfect for powerlifting and weightlifting.

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Super friendly staff. Was able to drop in for a day pass while on vacation to get some Olympic lifting in and be back home before the rest of the house was up and moving. Definitely recommend this gym.

Fantastic experience: Great gym with all the necessary equipment for powerlifters, Olympic lifters, strong men, and the average joe. Staff was helpful, gym was clean. Great experience, made the $10 for a 1 day pass well worth it.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely a great place to train for the people that are serious and expect results. The gym is fully equipped with sorinex equipment. Great atmosphere to get results. My suggestion for anyone is to keep driving past pivotal fitness or snap fitness and go here. Excellent gym where you can get real results.

Fantastic experience: Such an awesome gym, chaulk dust everywhere loud music perfect for heavy lifting. 10 dollars for a day which is awesome. Tons of weights. Will defiantly go back

Fantastic experience: Fantastic facility. It's a gym meant to WORK! No frills just solid space and equipment. The staff was super friendly with an "anything for our customers" mentality. Love it.
