Locomotion Fitness

Fantastic experience: So much FUN! Incredible experiences on the daily! Amazing and passionate Coaches with so much attention to detail! Continuous challenges and opportunities to grow in Yoga, Crossfit, Bootcamp, Small Groups and Personal Training the facility really offers a one of a kind opportunity like nothing I've experienced before. It's so FUN getting better and knowing I can and am encouraged to do things I've never thought possible! Thank you LOCO!

Fantastic experience: Amazing community of committed members and supportive coaches! Perfect fitness facility for anyone who is just starting out on their fitness journey or wants a fresh start somewhere new!

Fantastic experience: Hands-down, one of the most supportive and positive gyms to which I've ever been a part. It's not just about fitness, it's about showing up for yourself in all aspects of life - nutrition, relationships, mindset, etc. The coaches are knowledgeable, the members are super friendly, and the facility is awesome. If you're looking for a community but also a place to let go of all the barriers we create to getting stronger in body and mind, this is the place for you!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Love this gym. They have really made it personal for me. Great trainers and very motivating. They are always asking for feedback to make things better. Wouldn't hesitate to join if you're looking into it!

Fantastic experience: Joining a gym can feel intimidating, but I’ve never felt uncomfortable here. I joined after a period of inactivity to get myself back to feeling like myself again. I expected added strength and conditioning, which I got. I didn’t expect the pain relief from an old injury, thanks to an awesome trainer or the improved relationship with food thanks to the wonderful dietician on staff. I feel like a much better version of me these days thanks to Locomotion.

Fantastic experience: The community at Locomotion is everything! The coaches are beyond qualified, the workouts are challenging for all fitness levels, the atmosphere is fully supportive, encouraging & non-judgmental. The endless mix & match options for memberships including CrossFit, Bootcamp, Cycle, Yoga & Nutrition is my jam & there's even an amazing physical therapist on site! If you're considering joining a gym, definitely give the #LocoFam a look!! It's the happiest hour of my day!

Fantastic experience: If walking into an unfamiliar fitness facility intimidates you, that anxiety will quickly fall to the wayside. You'll be guided step-by-step through the process of becoming a member and, if you become a member, once you're there for a workout, you'll be quickly introduced to others in your class, and guided in your workouts. One of the things I appreciate about Locomotion is that the guidance never stops. If you have questions about fitness, nutrition, mindset, or overall wellness, somebody can guide through your next steps. If the class is doing a workout and you're not comfortable with a movement or it's beyond your current capability, the coach will take the time to modify the movement for you. The people at Locomotion refer to themselves as LocoFam. The Locomotion Family is our tribe. These are our people. We celebrate each other. The people here - owners, coaches, and members - constantly spur each other on to new things and greater heights. Did I mention I'm stronger, more flexible, and that I have a greater capacity for work than I did before I joined Loco?

Fantastic experience: Positive: Quality Locomotion Fitness is by far the most one of a kind gym. They focus on your whole well being not just the physical aspect that gyms provide. The owner, the coaches and the members are the best I have encountered (I’ve belonged to many places).

Fantastic experience: This gym is the bomb! Awesome facility that has a knowledgeable and professional staff. Right away you will notice a unique, positive culture that inspires all the members. I highly recommend their personal trainers. As a middle aged ex football player my body was tight, sore and no longer fully functional. After a free consultation I partnered with personal trainer/coach Amber Butler. Amber put together a customized training program for me and after the first month I felt and saw a noticeable difference. After 3 months of training with Amber I can say that I have not felt this good in 25 years. Thank you Coach Amber!

Fantastic experience: Can’t speak highly enough about the coaches, the people, and the location. This is not a big chain gym, with business models dependent on you not showing up and doing the automatic monthly charge hoping you forget you’re a member there. There is accountability, goal setting, and performance metrics to keep you motivated and engaged. The workouts are always changing, the coaches take time to make sure you are doing exercises safely and it really is an awesome community of people to connect with. Their goal is holistic health, and I know there is a difference in how healthy I feel because time invested here.

Fantastic experience: Locomotion Fitness has combined truly great coaches and programs with a supportive environment. Heading to work out here is truly judgment free. Lots of opportunities to make fitness fun and enjoyable no matter what your fitness level is. Focused on meeting your specific goals with a whole person approached for fitness of mind and body.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Awesome gym with awesome coaches! Loco also has a lot of different opinions! They have yoga, cycle, bootcamp, crossfit, and personal training! Plus they have an awesome nutrition program as well. If you are looking for a 1 stop shop gym this is your place.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism I’m so glad that I accidentally discovered Loco! In my first seven months of training at Loco, I dropped 60 pounds and maintained all muscle weight. The coaching and programming is top notch! The community of members is like no others and they have truly earned the name “LocoFam”. I’m also have a lot of fun!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going through some rough times recently with being hospitalized, going to therapy 30 hrs a week, and putting my career on hold. Locomotion Fitness has saved me. The coaches are so encouraging and I found hope in myself that I didn’t think existed anymore. I highly recommend Locomotion Fitness to anyone that wants to build themselves back up both mentally and physically in the healthiest way possible.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism Love this gym! Highly recommend. Classes offered at Convenient times. Coaches are highly knowledgeable and they truly care! They help with nutrition, sleep and so much more! It’s more than just a gym! You will not be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: Locomotion Fitness is a much better gym than I am a gym-goer. I am a great example of someone who is terrible at taking advantage of their stellar service but is welcomed back over and over with the height of compassion. They are welcoming, friendly, attentive, and deeply invested in each member's success. I highly recommend them for their approach to personalized attentive coaching in every class they offer.

Fantastic experience: Locomotion Fitness is a great gym with great coaches! Lots of workout options morning, noon, and evening. Even personal training is available! They worked with me on my individual goals around fitness, sleep, nutrition, etc. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: The best gym I’ve become a part of! A true sense of community here. I think it’s important for people to know you can be at any level or experience when it comes to fitness and the coaches here are all here to help you achieve YOUR goals! I highly recommend to anyone!

Fantastic experience: I was super intimidated to go here the first time, I’m sure I’m not the only person that’s felt that way walking into a gym. Turns out, everyone I’ve met here (both members and employees) are just the absolute nicest, most encouraging people. They text me to check in on how I’m doing and feeling, they celebrate my wins with me, and they’ve made me enjoy working out I actively look forward to all of the different classes and training- never thought that would be the case for me. If you’re researching gyms, this one should be the top of your list.

Fantastic experience: I've been training with Amber 1 on 1 for the past 4 months now, and It has been the most effective thing for my fitness by far. I've been going to to various gyms throughout my whole life and seen moderate progress or even very fast progress, but have never been able to maintain development and weight loss until now. Amber keeps me accountable with my workouts with an emphasis on form to ensure safety and proper development. And the results have been better than I've ever experienced

Fantastic experience: I have really enjoyed Locomotion Fitness so far. The group classes are fun, upbeat & challenging. I am also doing personal training with Amber Butler and she is awesome. She is so positive, knowledgeable & always has a smile on her face. I am also learning about corrective exercise from Amber which is really helping me with my strength & stability. I highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: JOIN THIS GYM NOW!!! I promise you won't regret it! I have always dreaded going to the gym but not anymore! I started at Locomotion three months ago with their diapers and dumbells class right after I had my child and once that class ended I switched to their crossfit classes. All the trainers are so welcoming and knowledgeable! I also love how they keep the classes small so its more hands-on! I did crossfit before and did not enjoy it because the other gym was so intimidating. This one is the exact opposite! And if crossfit isn't your thing they also offer bootcamp and private training!

Fantastic experience: Best gym in town hands down!! It's was a game changer for me. I never thought that I could ever do some of the things I can do now. Staff and Coaches are amazing and some of the most overqualified people that I've ever met and in gym setting the knowledge is endless, its a family and you will not be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: What impressed me most about Locomotion fitness is the sense of community within the fitness facility. They offer a variety of different classes, from boot camps to Yoga. Fitness is achieved through variety and that is why I love what Jay has created.

Fantastic experience: I had never stepped foot inside a CrossFit gym until I joined Locomotion in August 2018. Since then, I’ve worked out every week for nearly 18 months in a row - something I had never accomplished on my own, even though I always enjoyed exercising. I started with personal training to instill accountability and consistency, and now I also attend group CF classes three days a week. I love everything about this place: the training, the members, and the coaches. Loco is a great place for anyone trying to establish an exercise habit, and for those who have lost enthusiasm about their current regimen for any reason - boredom, injury, or a lack of results. I feel very lucky to be a part of the Locomotion community.

Fantastic experience: Locomotion Fitness! Thinking about becoming more fit? What is your goal? The Coaches at Locomotion Fitness are cool, ready, willing and able to help you set and achieve your personal goals. They have really set me on a great path to achieving my personal goals. Cross Fit, Boot Camp, Locomotion has it all and for every fitness level. This gym rocks! Jay and all the Coaches are fun, share a ton of knowledge and are available to help each member succeed! I quickly became part of the Locomotion Family where every single coach and member had my back from the start. They've inspired and continue to inspire me each day and keep it REAL. They will do it for you, too! There is a great vibe at this gym with an air of I CAN! I am pumped to be a member of this gym and part of the Locomotion Family. Seize today! Unleash your potential and have a ton of fun becoming the best you! See you there! -Paul Notaro (Proud Member)

Fantastic experience: I've been attending Loco for the past seven months and couldn't be happier with my fitness/wellness journey. I've found all of the coaches to be very knowledgeable, encourging and patient. They also hold you accountable. Never pushy but ensure you're progressing and reaching your goals. Loco also has a great family/community vibe, perfect fit for Park Circle. Come and join the fun, you won't regret it.

Fantastic experience: I can't say enough good about Locomotion Fitness. The coaches made me feel right at home and ensure that EVERYONE moves properly through the various movements no matter the skill level or strength. It is really impressive to see the attention these coaches give to each individual during every class ensuring that the workouts are at the perfect level of intensity and that each member is moving properly especially under fatigue. This all translates to everyone leaving with a smile on their face and feeling amazing. I had never stepped foot in a gym and was not only nervous about joining a group but concerned that my lack of experience would lead to poor movement and injury. They whipped me into shape in no time and it's been a joy every step of the way. Locomotion has built an all around amazing environments and group of people, it's a real life changer. 10/10

Fantastic experience: Locomotion Fitness is unlike any other gym I have ever been to. The coaches and staff genuinely care about the community here. They are not here just to lend out equipment for an hour, they care about actually coaching and training you in and out of the gym so that you can reach your goals and live a healthier, stronger life. From day one I have felt welcomed and like I belong. Absolutely love this gym and recommend it to anyone no matter what their fitness level is.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Locomotion Fitness for about 6 months and have been loving it! The gym has cultivated an amazing community that I look forward to working out with. The coaches are awesome, they are able to accommodate people of all fitness levels. I really enjoy the Level Method because it gives me many small obtainable goals that keep me pushing forward to the ultimate goal of being healthy!

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of many gyms over pass ten years, some traditional and others non traditional. I can say with certainty that this gym is by far one of the best. About 8 years ago I was in a car accident, it left me many injuries. Due to poor orthopedic care, I ended up having three different types of ankles over 7 years. This left general weakness in leg and foot. Trying to regain strength with causing damage has been a challenge. This is the first gym to really take the time and ensure I am doing the movements correctly and if I can’t then we modify until we find the perfect form. Most gyms have classes so big or instructors who aren’t passionate, so you don’t get that focused attention. If you are looking for a place that really cares about helping you and your body, look no further than Locomotion. Shout out to Coach Stephen.

Fantastic experience: Great gym! Quality services in a convenient location! Coach Jay runs a top-notch gym, with loads of options! Apps are easy to navigate. Loads of options for workout times. Very motivating! Gym offers LOADS of other services besides a simple workout! All the coaches and staff are highly motivating and highly qualified! Definitely check it out!

Fantastic experience: I have only just started this gym a few weeks ago & I already love it. I love the community & how close they all are. I also love that they offer a nutrition aspect of the gym as well. They show you how to eat real food in a real world. I am looking forward to starting CrossFit classes soon. I already know I will be supported & pushed to be my best self in a safe environment.

Fantastic experience: Locomotion will give you a great work out! In small classes, the instructors are able to provide personalized feedback and praise! After a little over a month, my husband and I are excited about the new friends were making at the gym and seeing progress from the workouts! Easily, one of the best gyms I have ever belonged to!

Fantastic experience: This gym is awesome! I just moved to Charleston from Virginia, and everyone here has been so welcoming. I was worried about finding a gym here that was as awesome as mine was in Virginia, and they have gone above and beyond here at Locomotion Fitness. The coaches are always encouraging and motivating me during the workouts. I love doing CrossFit, but aside from CrossFit they have a variety of other types of classes. This gym has a little something for everyone and a great sense of community about it! I would highly recommend it!

Fantastic experience: Loco is an amazing gym with amazing people! The trainers really care about the health and goals of each of their members. Loco is a family! Everyone is so supportive and motivating to each other. One of, if not THE, best decisions I’ve made for my health is joining this family!

Fantastic experience: Bar none the best experience I've ever had at a gym. It's been my one and only CrossFit gym (going on 7 months) and I've loved it. All of the coaches are very down to earth and genuinely care about your progress and overall health. They are also very heavy on community, which really does make you feel like you're apart of something special. ESPECIALLY if you live in the Park Circle neighborhood. Give them a try!

Fantastic experience: Joining Locomotion Fitness was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. The workouts are challenging, but the coaches ensure that they are manageable for all levels of fitness and keep them fun/enjoyable. I’m blown away by the results I’m beginning to see in (and on) myself, and can’t praise this gym enough for the help and support!

Fantastic experience: This place is amazing! All the coaches are extremely supportive in you reaching your goal. It is a non-competitive environment which is great, especially if this is the first time you have started exercising and are at level -1 (like me :P) They have nutritionists on staff who are more than happy to take the time to help you understand all the different ways you can eat better while still enjoying food. Absolutely recommend it for anyone looking to make a healthy change in their life!

Fantastic experience: CrossFit is something I never saw myself doing! I was afraid of lifting weights and never imagined touching a barbell, but I saw the difference it was making in my husband and I wanted in! So much has changed since my scared to death self entered the gym and I’ve been guided through every step. The coaches are amazing and the community is uplifting! I have gained so much confidence and strength since joining. In the past I never stuck with any workout routine and I’ve now been attending classes 3-5 (sometimes 6!) days a week since I began 8 months ago. If you’re on the fence at all about Loco take the chance and give it a try! You’ll never regret this investment in yourself.

Fantastic experience: Locomotion is my first introduction to structured fitness and nutrition programming. The knowledge and experience the coaches bring is top-notch, and the CrossFit program has been extremely beneficial to my overall physical and mental health. The gym is one big family, and everyone is so encouraging and helpful. I can’t recommend Loco enough!!

Fantastic experience: I’ve tried a few gyms in the area and have always felt like an outsider. I originally went to Jay for nutrition counseling but ended up joining the gym because I loved his enthusiasm and wealth of knowledge. I’ve always wanted to try CrossFit but never thought I could physically do it. After only a couple months I feel stronger than I ever have and am having a blast doing it! I feel like I finally fit in and on top of that found amazing, very knowledgeable trainers. I would highly recommend Locomotion!!! You won’t be dissapointed!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member for close to a year, and Locomotion has been a great experience for me. I was used to working out and running alone, but I’m totally hooked and my lifestyle is so much healthier now. The gym is fun and welcoming, and the coaches are awesome. Jay, Emma, and the rest of the team care deeply about improving peoples’ lives and also improving the community they’re in. 5 stars all day!

Fantastic experience: Best gym experience in Charleston, hands down. With their focus on technique and foundational movements, (before you hit it hard) coach Jay has created an unbelievable culture to learn, grow, hangout, and be as fit as humanly possible. Everyone is welcome. From first timers in a gym, to seasoned athletes all fit in with each other seamlessly. See you there, it is worth it.

Fantastic experience: I recently moved to Charleston, not knowing anyone and looking for a new gym...that’s when everything changed and I became a part of Locomotion Fitness. The members and the coaches made me feel at home instantly and *bonus* I have been getting the best workouts in! I highly recommend giving Locomotion a try. Don’t be intimidated, coaches will work with you to scale movements to your ability and you will see changes!

Fantastic experience: Locomotion Fitness is unlike any gym I have ever been to ...and believe me, I have been to plenty! The care and attention given to each and every member is amazing. The owners and staff truly care about your success, you're never just a number. I love my gym family!

Fantastic experience: After recently moving to Charleston, I wanted to find a gym that forced me outside my comfort zone while meeting friends along the way. I got this and more at Locomotion Fitness in Park Circle. The coaching is far better than any other CrossFit box I’ve been to and the community is beyond friendly, never intimidating and contagiously positive. Even in a group setting, the coaching staff makes you feel like every workout is a personal training session. They take the time to get to know you and genuinely care about your goals just as much as you do. Plus, I learn something new every time I walk into Locomotion, whether it’s challenging myself mentally, improving a skill or meeting someone new. Caution: this place is addictive. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: I am so happy I joined Locomotion Fitness! This is my first Crossfit experience and have been going there for 3 months now. I am a 36 year old woman, and was not super active, and I INSTANTLY fell in love with coming here. I have never felt better! Each class I have been to over the past 3 months has been different and exciting to experience. The classes are 100% coached so you never feel out of place or incompetent. It makes you feel like you are getting 1 on 1 training. The facility is great, my fellow members are amazing, loving, and fun(ny) :-) , and the coaches are TOP NOTCH! Do yourself a favor and reach out to Coach Jay just to see what it's all about, and make your decision from there. You won't regret it! -Katie Janes

Fantastic experience: Locomotion Fitness has changed my entire view of "working out". Not only are Jay and Emma are hands down the best people you will ever meet, they are super knowledgeable about every phase of "getting in shape". Whether you can run a marathon or barely walk 100 meters, bench press 500lbs or a PVC pipe, they have the knowledge, skills and capacity to motivate you to achieve whatever goals you set! It only helps that each work out feels like a chance to meet up with friends and better your health! I recommend this gym and these coaches to anyone of any age and any health status!

Fantastic experience: Super friendly and knowledgeable! Owners Jay and Emma (and Grace!) were there during my informational/introductory visit, and I couldn't have felt more welcomed from the beginning. Since becoming a member just a couple of months ago, I've felt like part of a supportive community. The members are all friendly and inclusive, and really do encourage each other. Highly recommend for Crossfit, and it sounds like a lot of other exciting things are in the works at Locomotion as well.
