"I normally train at a Starting Strength gym in Singapore, so I was thrilled to find a Strength Club near my family’s home when visiting Charleston for Thanksgiving. Cam is incredibly nice, extremely knowledgeable, and—most importantly—patient enough to stop me from wasting half my session doing mental gymnastics converting kilos to pounds. His coaching helped me maintain momentum so I didn’t have to restart at lower weights when I got back to Singapore. The environment is fantastic: welcoming, family-like, and filled with people who take strength seriously without taking themselves too seriously. The equipment is top-notch, and the whole place just feels like a great spot to train hard and get stronger. If you already have a gym membership then you can do both as I also mixed in a few hypertrophy days at the MUSC Wellness Center (after Strength Club, not before)—love those old, rusty Cybex machines... looks as if decades of sweat have ripped the paint right off them, which just adds to their character. ;) If you’re new to barbell training, this is the perfect place to build a real foundation. If you’re getting older, strength is something you need to invest in. And if you’re already trained, you’ll instantly appreciate the coaching and culture here. Absolutely worth a visit. I’ll be back next year."

"I've worked out in different gyms all over the state. I joined the strength club for 1 reason. Strength. Building strength. Great coaches and everyone there very encouraging."
