Fitness Factory Charleston

Something in my mind I never do my entire life which I am told to do. The gym equipment are broken, while some equipment, particularly the treadmills, only operate by simply get on the machine and make it work, including the bicycle and the escalators. Besides, the gym environment is superannuated, in terms of how old this facility is. I don't enjoy much of the workout routine. And to be clear, there is too much distraction going on around me.

Don’t know a better gym I’ve ever been to for under $20. You get more than what you pay for. Locker room needs updating but no big deal. Love this place. Staff is great. Environment is friendly.

I been coming to this gym for 2 years, I absolutely love the atmosphere in this gym everyone is super friendly. The employees Jenni, Maria are always helpful. Laura the manager is always making sure the gym is running smoothly. I highly recommend this gym!

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

Honestly, I would only recommend this gym to others in the local area if it's your only budget and you have no other choice. Other than that if you are willing to drive a little more do it. Besides the features it used to have not being available. It's feels like you are working out outside during summer and that's vegas heat I'm speaking of. I can't tell if the owner turns the a/c on. It's decent but could use lots of improvements. At the very least turning on the a/c regardless of the capacity and especially with the summer heat. It's always unpredictable besides cleanliness if you are going to have a good workout. Personally, I know several other members that feel they can't workout the way they want to due to the heat in here on top of the heat they produce with movement. If I were to push myself the way I would normally do, in this heat I would feel sick from the heat and probably pass out. It is known that this building can handle better a/c conditions considering the previous name of this establishment (24 hr fitness). This gym is for you if you like a free sauna.
