Best Gyms with Indoor Pools near Columbia, South-carolina

We are new to the community and we just started using the Y- I’ve never been to a facility before but I love it so far. Two kids joined swimming lessons which so far has been great, and my husband and I use the gym. Pretty packed most of the time but I love the equipment & how clean and organized it is. The staff up front have been helpful every time too.

Member of 8 years with my family just saw email about dollar fee increase and WOW. Yea it’s only a dollar but families are already struggling…I just don’t understand. Terrible referring sometimes coaches don’t show up and at times I’ve seen inappropriate behavior between staff members…what is happening?? I thought this place was family friendly?? Seems like a place people go to get their groove on if you ask me… and some workouts on the side…the Y is terrible now. Please do better and encourage your staff to be presentable I’m sure you have some code of conduct to follow. Also make sure referees have actual experience. My family will have to find a more family friendly professional facility. A lot of others have cancelled their memberships due to similar reasons…waiting for the Y to tighten up

Beautiful pool, happy life guard. I was there to swim laps, but he was doing the exercises with the swimmers while sitting in the lifeguard chair. Not sure if he was leading or just having fun, but it made for a happier atmosphere.

We had been members of this Y since about 2010, primarily a family membership. We have had a lot of experiences there with using the gym, group fitness classes, swim lessons, a year and a half of preschool, a few Parents Nights Out, ChildWatch, T-ball, baseball, soccer, and volleyball. I hadn't gone myself in a while but while there the past few seasons for my child's games, I was disappointed to discover how run down and poorly maintained parts of the Y are. The handicapped stall in the restroom near Deep Sea Discovery had a seat completely cracked in half that was just sitting on the toilet. Major danger for kids or people with disabilities who use it. Also lots of broken faucets, etc., in various restrooms as well as inadequate cleaning. I was disappointed to see this as it's a very popular location and many people use it. My husband also wanted to use the pool for lap swimming but almost every single time, laps were not available at the scheduled times and there was no helpful response given or means to address this. (Taken over by swim lessons or other things even when lap swim was scheduled.) He'll be switching to a different gym. We've also run into many similar situations where we were given conflicting information by different staff members and had a hard time getting a clear answer. There are a lot of sweet people who work there and who use the facilities but better training, organization, communication, cleaning and maintenance would really help.

I have not been a member since 2023 but have been off and on since 2009. They offer a variety of programs and classes. Family oriented. A bit on the pricey side. The housekeeping/safety standards have declined considerably during my last few years. The facilities unclean. Moldy lockers/showers/restrooms. Equipment in need of repair. During COVID was blatant lack of adherence to health and safety protocol. My last few visits were under new management and equipment upgrades were made. Perhaps there has been improvements since.

My husband came in for a tour a few days ago. At that time they told him that since he is active duty military he could sign a one year contract, and put me under his membership paying a month to month basis. As someone who prefers Pure Barre classes to traditional workout equipment this sounded like a good plan to me. Before committing to canceling my pure barre membership, I wanted to tour the facility. I feel like that is pretty reasonable. However, they intentionally didn’t tell my husband that he had to put me on his plan the day they signed up. So, fast forward to today when I’m off work and come in with him to see the facility, they tell us I can no longer be signed up under him and will have to sign my own one year contract. They use deceptive marketing and will tell you anything to get you to sign up, and then switch things up later. What ever you do, dont get a membership here. There’s better gyms for the price point that aren’t falling apart and won’t use deceptive tactics to get people to sign up. I would also like to add that they made a response to my initial review. I would like to make it known I have sent two separate emails to the email listed in the review response and I’ve never received a reply. It’s been almost three weeks since I attempted to contact them to resolve the issue. They literally do not care about fixing the situation and only responded to try and save face. This place really is terrible.

I am so delighted that I've joined MUV Fitness Sandhills! My experience with the staff was absolutely fantastic! Great customer service, which is always a plus. The environment was very welcoming and friendly! Definitely a high vibrational atmosphere! They have every piece of workout equipment under the sun, which is exceptional in my book! I'm so happy that I decided to join MUV and I'm looking forward to my next visit!

Excellent Management! Brandon Mohtassm is an excellent GM. He is very accommodating, great customer services. He is very attractive to everybody needs. He keeps a clean facility and we just love him. He takes time with all the customers.

This place is a dump. Everything is dirty, broken, or not working properly. The place is crowded, forget about sticking to a plan. The members are rude as hell... cursing, singing along to whatever garbage music they're listening to... loud enough for half the gym to hear. I'm attaching a picture of what the Dumbell rack looks like... the dumbells aren't in use, they're just gone

The manager Brandon Mohtassem is the best! He always have time for you no matter what. If he doesn't know then you best believe he's going to get you a answer to your question. All the other staff is very polite and friendly.
