I would absolutely 100 percent recommend you not to go to chiseled! I was working with a trainer for about two months and it honestly wasn’t worth the time and money especially with a trainer that doesn’t know what he’s doing. I had finished my sessions with the trainer and was looking to schedule more sessions. And I had reached out and had picked a day the trainer had told me I had to make payment before scheduling anymore sessions. The day of session came and I was never aware of being written down for a session. And because I was busy that day I couldn’t make it. The trainer proceeded to say that I had to pay for a missed session. The trainer proceeded to harass me 6 weeks straight and just told me last week that if payment was not made. I would not be allowed back as a client or a member of chiseled. So I’m officially blackballed from a gym. Chiseled is honestly not a bad gym at all but my experience there was horrible if you go to chiseled. I wouldn’t recommend working with Ryan Harrison. He also proceeded to tell me that maybe someday in the real word I would understand the frustration of not receiving payment/ money for a job. Money that was never owed by the way. I also heard from someone close that he had a athlete working out for free meanwhile he’s harassing me over one session that was never scheduled

Avoid this company if you value your time and money. After canceling my membership, they still charged my credit card, and I was also double-charged on a separate occasion. Their billing system doesn’t let you remove your payment information, so there’s no way to prevent future charges.

To make matters worse, resolving these issues is almost impossible. They only have someone available to take calls for about two hours on just two days of the week — and even then, they rarely answer the phone. It’s not worth the hassle. I won’t be doing business with them again, and I’d strongly suggest others steer clear too.

This review is for Coach Rocky Conejos.

For context, I have been working on strength conditioning for the last 10 years. 7 out of those 10 years have been spent in strength and endurance training - OCR and CrossFit.

When I first started working with Rocky, I had two goals - get better at Olympic Lifting and try my best to stay injury free. I knew, for me, I would need to work with someone who would be patient with me as I tend to be injury prone.
As Rocky and I continued to work together, my goals shifted from Olympic Lifting to Powerlifting and I asked for some help to get ready for an upcoming CrossFit competition in the middle of my Powerlifting training.

Rocky has met and exceeded my expectations in so many ways. First, he is highly intelligent and has kept me free from injury with his science-backed strategies. This man is a miracle worker! I appreciate how he is able to identify my issues and strengthen those areas to keep me going. Second, he is able to pivot to whatever my new goal is or whatever life situation I am in. He is an amazing leader who can deal with change very well without any frustration. Third, he is incredibly humble, understanding, genuine, patient, and feels such joy when he sees his clients succeed. This is a man who genuinely cares about his clients. I am so grateful for his attention to detail, ability to pivot, intelligence, and care. His coaching/leadership style has made me accomplish goals I never thought I would ever accomplish. Not to mention, he keeps me laughing and feeling happy during our sessions.

I am 41 years old, and I hit a plateau with all of my lifts. I was very sad. I thought my strength journey was over due to my age and multiple injuries. Rocky showed me that this wasn't the end for me. Because of him, all of my lifts have improved. My deadlift has increased by 40lbs! He also helped me gain the confidence to compete in Powerlifting meets which has resulted in multiple state records and number 3 worldwide for my age division.

It has been an absolute joy working with Rocky over the last two years and I look forward to our continued success!

I really want to give this gym five stars. I really do. The vast majority of the time, it is great. The machines are very nice and generally well maintained, repairs happen quickly, the staff is overall fairly nice based off the handful of interactions I’ve had with them. That being said, the clientele of this gym is horrendous, and the gym staff rarely enforce the gym policies. Tripods everywhere, people posing in the middle of the gym floor, weights not being sorted or put back entirely, and machines are rarely ever wiped off after use. When machines do go down, it’s generally due to misuse by gym members, and people disregard all signs regarding proper use of equipment. This is also the first gym I’ve ever been to where the smell of BO is so bad that it disrupts my workout. I know that sounds ridiculous, but show up any weekday from 5-7pm and you’ll see what I mean.

I go at various times of the day, and I’ve noticed that starting around 9PM, all rules go out the window. Almost every day that I’ve come around that time, there’s routinely someone in the studio working out without a shirt on, with a tripod and camera set up at the other end of the studio, meaning anyone who wants to use the studio is relegated to half of the room unless you want to be in his shot. There are signs everywhere saying shirts are required specifically in the studio, there are cameras everywhere, yet I see the same guy every day disregarding this rule and not being held accountable.

Additionally around this time, there’s another person who comes with a giant duffle bag full of dirty towels that he then will use to block off anywhere from 5 to 8 pieces of equipment for the entire duration of his workout, which is usually around 2 hours. For instance, today he blocked off the leg press, two squat racks, a flat bench, the seated calf raise, a row machine, a set of cables, preacher curl, and numerous free weights. I’ve gotten into prior altercations with this man before as he tried to kick me off the leg press while I was using it a few months back, and have mentioned his behavior to gym staff numerous times. I was told tonight that there is nothing that they can do as he isn’t actively disrupting anybody. Frankly, I’d argue the fact that I’ve complained multiple times and am now writing this review is proof enough that he’s disrupting at least one person, and from what it sounded like, this man has caused issues with other members in the past as well. I no longer use any of the machines he regularly uses in my workouts because I don’t want to get into another altercation with him, and often have to modify my workouts to avoid him because he routinely smells bad.

Overall this is a five star gym if you’re willing to go between the hours of 3AM to 10AM due to the great selection of equipment, but outside of that time frame, between the poor etiquette of the majority of the members, how crowded it gets, and the lack of policy enforcement by the gym staff, I’d have a hard time justifying $70/month.

If this gym was a sandwich, it would be a turkey sandwich. But! It would be a very nice turkey sandwich made of the best ingredients from the farmer’s market. Two basic ingredients for a good gym are equipment and a healthy/positive environment. This gym of course has both of those things but it’s just better.

There’s equipment here that’s difficult to find in most commercial gyms like a belt squat and the rogue reverse hyper rh-2. For equipment you can commonly find in commercial gyms, chiseled’s gym equipment is simply better since they have arsenal equipment.

I’ve been a member for almost 2 years now and found practically everyone to be friendly here. The management team and staff have been great too. I appreciate that they are constantly improving the gym. Anything from rearranging the layout of equipment to major projects like updating the floors and lights. Also I had a billing issue where I was at fault since my credit card expired and I failed to update my info. I was willing to eat the auto penalty fee, but I was refunded the amount after updating my info with the help of the staff who kindly notified the owner.

Just like a turkey sandwich, a gym can be just as basic; four walls, roof, barbells, weights, and people. This gym might be made of the same ingredients as others, but it’s not of the same quality. It’s a good gym.

One of the best gyms in Columbia as far as hours and equipment but the culture gets old really fast. They encourage recording and tripods and it’s so packed at peak times with the younger crowds lifting in herds it’s hard to get your workout in from 5–9pm. The service is pretty terrible and their guest wifi rarely works. They have an entire room dedicated to posing but it feels like every time you turn around you’re in the background of someone’s iPhone recording and that’s disappointing for anyone just trying to get their workout in and go home.

To say I love this gym is an understatement! I specifically ask for work travel assignments so I can train here. Incredible variety of equipment, great staff, and the cleaning wipes for the machines even smell amazing. I absolutely love that they have a posing room, which is being updated along with the recent renovations and deep clean. It’s an environment where you can be very focused on your training or be more social, mostly young people but I have seen plenty of older folks too.

Honestly this gym is way to over hyped. Ive been a member here for about a month. Id rather go to pure fitness and if your from the area you would know that gym is almost like planet fitness. Im not trying to put this gym down because i do like the atmosphere and all the flags they support, but that is all. It is so pact that you cant barely move. The equipment sucks. If you want to spot who your working out with well your gonna be literally standing on someone else. Ill give you some of the best advice. If you want to go to a gym for the same price with some of the best equipment to date go to DMV iron, or golds in glenburnie. Also the sauna is a 1 person sauna and it might hit 100. This gym needs a upgrade on their stuff that people come for like the equipment and sauna not new floor. Gotta get the priorities straight.

This gyms community is amazing and some of the staff are nice, but the pricing here, the cleanliness, and the way they take extra money out of my account has thrown me way off. I was paying 40 a month and then it got upped to 55 out of no where and then 65 and then when I asked for a refund they said they would fix the issue within a week. I then check my bank account 5 days later to see another charge of 40 dollars not even 10 days apart from the 65 dollar charge. I called again and told me the same thing “I will talk to the manager about it” hopefully this issue gets fixed but this left me a huge inconvenience with needing gass money at the current momen and the management shows no urgency to fix the issue and it seems to be common with others as well that I know.

I enjoyed this gym atmosphere, community, and equipment, but recently Chiseled Life Gym has been going on a massive decline. The bathroom is one of the biggest issues as there is minimal locker space, the sauna is subpar, and the urinals wreak. The owner clearly does not listen to recommendations and feels as if it is necessary to up prices without making improvements to the gym. Claiming that these changes take time is an excuse, as these issues have been addressed by members and even the staff are aware.

Good selection of equipment but the service and facilities could improve. The locker rooms changing ares feels very congested and you’ll have to maneuver and mind your shins through the cramped plate loaded machines. A lot of the selectorized machines require maintenance and/or are missing parts. The bench seats are far beyond worn. Disinfectant wipes/bottles are often not stocked which I found to be the most surprising. The cell service isn’t great in the building and the Wi-Fi often was unavailable. For the cost I did not find the facility to meet the caliber of standards I had anticipated.

This gym would be great if the owner wasnt awful and actually listened to feedback. I left a review on yelp because the equipment was as always out of service and nothing was being fixed and instead of coming to me she went through someone else to cancel my membership. Come to find out i was banned all because i expressed my opinion and was genuinely trying to help since i would go “2-3 times” a day 😂

I really loved this place, the problem is canceling. I asked to cancel and they continued to charge me for 2 months. I then fought them for 8 months to get my money back. During this time I was told they they would contact their manager about the issue. Nothing happened. I continued fighting and was told it escalated to the owner. Again, nothing happened. I had to resort to credit card charge backs, which I won. Even with all this, from what I can tell I am still $40 short. I've given up fighting it at this point. Absolutely ridiculous. Immediately take your card off your account to avoid this nonsense. Unfortunately, given this issue, won't be coming back.

I joined this gym excitedly hoping to become stronger, but I was diagnosed with a chronic illness that prevented me from using the facilities. Never stepped foot in the gym, not even once.

When I realized the billing was automatic and still going, I contacted them immediately to cancel my membership (four months into it, money down the drain).

They were helpful and I thought I had cancelled my membership successfully since I never heard anything more after sending in the cancellation form.

Turns out I was wrong, the automatic billing had failed and no one told me. I am leaving this review due to that lack of communication.

A few weeks later my bank account unexpectedly over-drafted since they took out that final payment manually on a random date between paychecks, without contacting me.

For someone who never used your gym, I sure did give you folks a lot of money. The least you could have done was send me an email before taking money out of my account.

Great powerlifting gym. The clientele skews young for gyms in the area. I’d say most people here are early/mid twenties. All I really look for in a gym is plenty of equipment and cleanliness. This gym meets both.

I’ve never waited for a piece of equipment. Even when going at 5-7pm on weekdays, which is amazing. Probably 15 or so racks and 3 deadlift platforms. The only thing I don’t always get on are the deadlift platforms. The kids usually have them locked down at peak hours and rotate between themselves. Luckily they have tons of bumper plates to use in the CrossFit area.

Everything here is really clean and easy to navigate. Overall, this gym is easily the best I’ve been to in the area.

Large gym with a very large selection of free weight, machine and functional fitness equipment to choose from. The gym is more oriented towards strength so there isn’t a huge assortment of cardio machines to choose from, which isn’t a con, just for your awareness. Lots or strength racks, a large functional fitness area and also a carpeted room for other calisthenics. All for a very reasonable price.
