An excellent atmosphere for a personal exercise routine or to work out with a personal trainer! All are happy to answer questions about machines, routines or classes. There is even a physical therapist on site!!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym! Tons of great equipment, classes, and well educated staff who is happy to help.

Fantastic experience: As always O2 fitness provides another opportunity for change…. Gatorade has a new line of drinks that taste absolutely great and have minimal calories Gatorade for it’s amazing way to stay hydrated with flavor and less if the things we don’t need. Thanks again.

Fantastic experience: This is a great Gym! The amenities are great and everyone who works there is super friendly. This is my first time really going to a Gym and the atmosphere is good and inclusive I don’t feel intimidated at all. Overall a great gym and a good experience.

Fantastic experience: I love this gym because it feels like a family. The gym has a nice turf area that is perfect for stretching/warming up or doing sled pulls/tire flips. I also love that it showers and a sauna to relax after your workout. The group fitness classes are so much fun as well especially body pump and body flow!

Fantastic experience: I have worked out at a few gyms in Charleston including Golds Gym, Pivotal Fitness, and O2 fitness. I have also worked out at each gyms different locations. I have to say that O2 fitness on James Island is the best gym I have worked out at in Charleston. The staff is super friendly and helpful, the gym is ALWAYS clean, and the trainers here know what they are doing. Have you ever been to a gym where the “trainers are training but looking at their phone?” Not here, they are engaged and are rooting for you to shed the old you and step into the person you want to be.

Fantastic experience: O2 Fitness has been an amazing experience. Have been at this gym for over a year now and I can say that I feel really comfortable and have gained confidence in myself. Been training with Ethan for a year and he is a really great trainer.

Fantastic experience: A great gym with lots of equipment, lots of space and very friendly staff. My experience training with Paige has been fantastic - she’s super knowledgeable and accommodating, and her workouts make progress easy to see from week to week. Couldn’t recommend O2 and Paige more!

Fantastic experience: O2 Fitness on James Island checks all the boxes!! A spacious and clean facility with state-of-the-art equipment and a best-in-class staff of Personal Trainers!! A quick shout-out to Erin and her team! Always friendly, courteous and professional!! Keep up the good work!! See you tomorrow. Scott

Fantastic experience: Good equipment friendly staff! They are currently expanding the space with Olympic platforms, turf, etc, and I am very excited for it to finish! Definitely top notch gym for good gains! Also their classes are great too! I take the Body Balance class and it helps me so much with my mobility and flexibility!

Fantastic experience: I love Paige, she's a really talented trainer, and definitely has helped me reach my goals. Would recommend her if you train during the evening, and Leanne if you train during the morning. Can't go wrong with either one! …———…

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love this gym! They have every piece of exercise equipment you could think of plus free weights and more. I have been with them almost a year now and I wouldn't go to any other gym. They have other locations in SC and NC as well. Also, the staff is amazing, always smiling and engaging. Lastly, their personal training/trainers are knowledgeable and truly want to help improve your health especially my BA trainer Nic!

Fantastic experience: I have been working out at O2 Fitness on James Island for a couple of years. It has been a joy working out at such a clean and well maintained health club. All of the employees are so helpful and knowledgeable. You feel they truly care about the members and it is not just a job for them. This attitude clearly starts with Erin the manager. Her cheerful attitude and great energy helps motivate the other employees. I highly recommend this club.

Fantastic experience: I have been to a few gyms in a few cities. 02 is one of the best. The staff is friendly and always ready to assist. The club is very clean and that’s important to me. I tell everyone that wants to know where to workout to go to 02 and they will be happy. I have a few friends that moved here from up north and they have joined because I recommend it and they are happy. Nice job 02. Janet Shapiro.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, great staff. Everyone is very helpful and friendly. One of the cleanest gyms I've been in. Personal Trainers are knowledgeable and care about your goals. The GM, Chris is always active with his members and talks to everyone.

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym! Chris and Erin have a great staff. Phoebe is so nice at the front desk. Steve and the personal training team are one of the best I have seen. Great with clients and always interacting with members. Definitely the only option you should consider in the area.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member for a few years now and there is no other gym I’d belong to. The equipment is always clean and up to par. Staff there is awesome. The manager Chris is great! He is enthusiastic and is always happy!

Fantastic experience: So glad I found O2 Fitness JI! Knowledgeable trainers, helpful staff, and the space is always clean and has everything I need to get through my workout. The classes are great too, with an incredible staff of group fitness instructors. All around a great place to be a member!

Fantastic experience: This is probably the best gym in the area! The environment is extremely clean, friendly and welcoming. They have AMAZING equipment and now a physical therapist in the gym. The staff is great! Always so eager to greet you and talk to you. Chris, Erin, Steve are awesome. The trainers are professional, really nice and interact with one another as well as the club members. However, there is one particular trainer that stands out and it’s Gio. He is polite, friendly, extremely knowledgeable and positive. He is always willing to help those around him including colleagues and members. His drive and passion for fitness is what really draws attention from all angles. He’s eagerness for better and more is what makes him different and admirable. The constant effort and drive to work to be better but better those around him, impacting lives of those he works with and trains is why he is so respected and also booked up! His experience and passion as a personal trainer is unmatched. He will have you feeling so great after one session!

Fantastic experience: I have been working with Paige as my trainer for several months now and she has been fantastic!! She has helped me get the most out of my workouts by making sure I’m using the right form and by pushing me to do more than I think I can. I have definitely gotten a lot stronger since working with Paige and I am excited to continue working with her!!

Fantastic experience: This gym is fantastic! 10/10! The staff is always friendly and greets you with a smile. You can even tell that the coaches there want to see you improve even if you aren’t even training with them or have never talked to them! I love training there and it broke my heart when I had to leave for college and had to go to my school gym, but as a gym rat who has been working out for 7 years, I highly recommend this place!

Fantastic experience: O2 is a great gym! Always super clean, never too busy, and they offer great classes. Very much a team environment which I appreciate! I have also done a few personal training sessions with Nic. He's an awesome trainer and definitely knows what he's doing. He adapts the sessions to any personal requests you may have and I really like that he explains the meaning behind each part of the workout. Overall would definitely recommend O2 (and Nic!) to anyone looking to start or continue their fitness journey on James Island!

Fantastic experience: I am back to O2 Fitness after a 6 month sabtical from the center do to family issues and Brooklyn is my new personal trainer. Being abit " seasoned" 69 years old and needing to make sure my workout is effcient and safe, she is great! She does not miss a beat or rep. Great facility , clean, professional, a great variety of equipment and classes. Thanks, Brooklyn for you attention to detail and my plan. Lyn

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Nic for several sessions at O2 Fitness James Island and he has been wonderful! Nic crafts challenging training sessions and truly cares about helping his clients achieve their goals. His compassion for others and his work are clear. Nic has helped me become stronger and more comfortable at the gym and I appreciate his desire to help!

Fantastic experience: I have been a member for more than one year. First, the gym is well-appointed with a variety of fitness equipment (free weights, weight-machines, aerobic machines) and fitness classes. Second, I spend most of my time with my personal trainer, Leanne Bryant. She is always upbeat and well-organized, with a daily plan that is designed for my goals and limitations. Further, she has always been observant of my form faults, and my tendency to try to lift more, rather than better. Her discipline and demeaner sets her apart from trainers I have had in other gyms around the country. Finally, she is a joy to converse with, especially if you enjoy soccer, as she was a soccer player both in her home country (England) and here in the U.S. Finally, the staff at the gym has always been helpful and pleasant (especially when I consistently misplace my gym pass), and the equipment, locker rooms, and showers have always been clean.

Fantastic experience: Everyone there is super nice and gets to know us pretty well! Nic is an awesome trainer, always trying to improve skills and help reach personal goals! Love O2 fitness!

Fantastic experience: Top notch staff who make the experience more than a daily obligation. Especially Gio (personal trainer) who has helped me double my strength and conditioning. Modern and clean facilities. I genuinely look forward to coming in, even on the hard days.

Fantastic experience: The gym is always clean and has a great selection of machines, free weights, cardio equipment, classes, etc. If you are looking for a knowledgeable personal trainer, I highly recommend Nic Patterson! No matter your level of fitness, Nic does a great job tailoring the workout to your personal goals!

Fantastic experience: If you’re looking for a trainer that is going to creatively challenge and engage you both physically and mentally, I would strongly encourage you to book a session with Giovonni Ravenell at O2 Fitness James island. Giovonnis comprehensive knowledge and understanding of fitness, health, and human anatomy make every workout a new experience. He brings high energy and a positive outlook to every session and I have learned so much over these last few months of training with him.

Fantastic experience: O2s friendly and helpful staff makes you feel welcomed and creates a very positive environment. Working with Gio has surpassed my expectations-he’s creative and goes over and beyond planning our sessions, while challenging my strength and patiently leading me to my goals.

Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a place that offers excellent amenities and ample space to get in a good workout O2 fitness is your place. If you are wanting to take your training to the next level then you need to book a session with Paige. Her knowledge and patience is second to none. She listens to what your goals are and then strategically designs a work out program to achieve your goals. Like most people who are just starting their fitness journey I was anxious about going to the gym and I didn’t even know what I should be doing. Just do yourself a favor and book a training package with Paige. That will be your greatest chance for success especially for someone who doesn’t have a fitness routine but wants to develop one.

Fantastic experience: O2 Fitness - James Island is a terrific health and fitness center, and it continues to improve. The facility itself is outstanding - clean, spacious, well-equipped, and never too crowded. And it's getting better - an expansion is underway to provide even more space and equipment. The O2 team is remarkable - top to bottom. They take an interest in each member and offer all sorts of opportunities for improvement - from challenges to individual sessions with trainers. O2 develops programming for everyone, from folks seeking to get in shape to experienced fitness enthusiasts. The trainers are all fantastic. Personally, I work with Nic P. He is amazing. Knowledgeable, dedicated, challenging, motivating, prompt, conscientious, patient, and pleasant are all adjectives that describe Nic. He has provided incredible insight and support since I've been working with him, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. He's been a game-changer. If you're looking for a gym, you should consider O2. I can't imagine a better spot in town.

Fantastic experience: Great staff, great selection of classes, large but clean facility, highly recommended. Erin greeted me at the door and showed me around for my first visit, I was in a Yoga class within 15 minutes, they have a huge variety of class options and equipment, enough space to never feel crowded. This place is top notch.

Fantastic experience: I was visiting Charleston so I bought a week pass. Registration was super easy and fast. People there are very kind, this gym is very modern and extremely clean. The fitness classes are amazing with supportive and efficient coaches. Nothing to say except my experience was just perfect and I thank them for that. I will come back and sign up again next time I come for sure.

Fantastic experience: My experience with O2 Fitness was (unfortunately) brief. It was brief because I was only in town for a conference, and I say unfortunate because the gym was great. I was able to meet one of the trainers, who was informative, passionate, but not pushy. The gym is very open and clean. There is a turf area, which fits my needs extremely well since I utilize these alternate exercises since injuring my knee. I also say unfortunate because as a parent, there's a kids club with events like parents night out. Those events are worth their weight in gold for parents! I can drop of my kids knowing that they are in good hands. The equipment is nice and easy to use, unlike other gyms I've visited. They truly create an overall great experience where they nurture health, both mentally and physically.

Fantastic experience: I like Charleston O2 fitness for its friendly and knowledgeable staff! Kay is my personal trainer and she always makes me feel like they just turned the heat up in the gym during my workout. Ha! I always get a great workout with super positive energy and humor! The classes are pretty good too. If I could make a couple suggestions, it would be to add a serious BOOT CAMP OR HIIT TRAINING class though. (Also O2, PLEASE add big floor fans to your workout rooms. It gets hot in there!) Also note that their classes overlap a bit so if you would like to take more than one in a row, you may have to cut out of one to go into the next often. I would love to do a high energy class and go to a yoga class after but the schedule usually doesn’t allow it. They give a great couple weeks free to try them out so I’d say go for it, I think you’ll enjoy the gym! Lastly, 02 please put the class schedule online so we can print it off each month or print them out at the desk. That would be very helpful.

Fantastic experience: I am so glad I was recommended this gym. It is spacious, clean, comfortable. The environment is safe, friendly, respectful. The staff are very knowledgeable and eager to help when asked. The machines are well maintained, modern, easy to use, and there is instruction guides available for your phone if there is any confusion or you encounter a new machine you are unfamiliar with. Classes are fun and a just challenging enough, they make me feel great! There are many areas within the gym for any routine, to stretch, or cool down. Stephen is the best!

Fantastic experience: Love everything about O2 on James Island, SC. It's the best gym I've ever belonged to. It is huge with tons of equipment, all kept clean and in excellent condition. Great classes (although my schedule only allows me to take one at the moment). The one my husband and I take is Vanessa yoga and it's awesome. We also both signed up for personal training and have been really happy with our experience. My trainer Kaely Thompson is so patient and helpful and really strives to find the best recovery exercises for me and my unique physical issues. She is great to work with and makes working out enjoyable! I highly recommend this gym!

Fantastic experience: Best gym around. I went to Golds Gym for years, but the lack of cleaning, and the overall apathetic attitude of the staff as far as upkeep with the equipment, as well as basic cleaning of the gym, finally got to be too much. O2 is always clean, organized, and has an extremely kind and caring staff. Best decision ever to switch over. I've been to every location in the area and James Island is my favorite by far. The staff is top notch, and Stephen has been especially helpful in me reaching my fitness goals. I highly recommend this spot.

Fantastic experience: It’s been my home away from home for the last 2 years. I absolutely love everything about O2 on JI! The most amazing staff that always remember you, take the time to get to know you & the best trainers all around. Super friendly clientele & AMAZING, BRAND SPANKING NEW equipment. Love my am crew! Everything is always spotless and in great condition. HIGHLY recommend this amazing gym!

Fantastic experience: Erin truly runs an amazing club & the staff to back it! Bar none, the most hard working individuals at the gym, much respect & love to the entire O2 crew, from Chris, Steve, & Erin! You guys make this location the best! If anyone ever needs a true workout with good vibes & good times..O2 on James Island is the place to be! From their knowledgeable trainers to their friendly staff..

Fantastic experience: This is year two into my fitness journey and I’m sitting in the sauna right now an their is a sign that says if your on your phone mind leaving us a review & as a small business owner reviews are so important. - o2 changed my life. This is the best gym in the area. Great location. They’re super clean. The equipment is always ready to go. The staff is a 11/10- so friendly. Always have hair ties for me lol. If you need a gym I 10/10 recommend o2 to anyone an everyone. The members are also just as friendly so if your new to the gym world you will feel comfortable

Fantastic experience: Being a travel nurse and trying to stay fit can be tough without the proper gym. I found O2 Fitness on James Island, while working an assignment in Charleston, and as soon as I walked in I was immediately welcomed and felt apart of the gym, as if I had been going there for a while. The equipment selection and quality is top notch, they had everything I needed and way more! It’s a very clean environment and well maintained. Lastly, the staff and trainers here are so supportive and encouraging! Loved working out here while I could, honestly wish I could take the gym with me to my next assignment, LOL! Highly recommend O2 Fitness Clubs, particularly this one in James Island.
