Gym was very average but this review is more for the fact we had a man beside us FaceTiming a completely naked woman (literally fully naked) and had it set up on the squat rack for everyone to see while he worked out.
We assumed front desk would kick him out considering how vile that is but after telling them they came up to him, told him to turn it off (kindly by the way) and then he proceeded to audible talk to the woman on ft about it… which just made it even worse???
Why they did not ask him to leave considering how wildly inappropriate that is, and how uncomfortable it was making people is completely beyond me.

Workout was very much ruined and would not consider coming back here.

I’ve been going here for about a year now. I love it! My only concern is the cold water when showering. It gets hot sometimes but most of the time it’s freezing cold. Other people said they mentioned it to staff hopefully it gets resolved soon. Other than that, I love this gym!

It’s okay… machines are fine but my big gripe is the cleanliness of the place. I’ve been going for 6 months and have yet to see it be cleaned. The bathrooms are okay but the sinks sometimes work sometimes don’t because they’re sensors. There’s been several times there’s been no hand soap in the bathrooms. Place just needs a good DEEP clean and it’d be much better.

Epuipment arraingment is terrible. All of the benches and machines are pushed so close together you are at times looking directly at someone within 5 feet or have to wait for a break in thier workout for access to an adjacent machine. Machines are literally touching. It is not safe. No access for spotters on benches and press machines are pushed right up to squat racks.

Waited a few weeks before I wanted to write a review. Overall, the gym has the essentials that you need to do most things (power rack, benches, dumbbells', etc). Good variety of free weights and machines, so you should not miss any specific body parts if you know what you are doing and looking for. However, the pads on almost ALL of the benches and machines are completely ripped and/or torn. These need to replaced/repaired immediately as they pose a health risk. I have not see a fitness center with such shoddy pads like this. The other issue is spacing of equipment. Understood that its a small footprint, but jamming as many treadmills together makes zero sense considering people won't feel comfortable running on top of someone else right next to them. Some of the other equipment only allows maybe a foot of clearance to get by, so this obviously is not optimal. The gym is mostly clean, but you will find white residue everywhere, especially the corners of the gym. This could be chalk, or could be dust....but either way needs to be addressed. Also, its quite difficult to find any barbell collars. If you do find some, grab 'em and keep them until you are done with your gym session. I chose to just buy my own instead of playing detective every morning.

Overall, not a bad gym and neither is the one in Goose Creek which has newer pads to the equipment. For the cost, you are getting a satisfactory experience that won't stop me from coming back, but should be improved. I go at 5am so I haven't seen the gym around lunchtime or 5p when most patrons go, so I can only state its not busy during my timeframe. Anyways, my hope is the owner will see my review and perhaps take my comments into consideration. He/She hasn't responded to my email so I'm not confident they care. Outside of the overpriced Anytime Fitness in Goose Creek, there really are no other quality options for strength training with free weights so Bold Fitness is really the only option if you live in the Summerville/Goose Creek area. And no, Plant Fitness is not an option for anyone who takes their workouts serious.

Along with Summerville and how they are building up the community, my hope is Bold Fitness will follow suit and aim to improve and perfect it's craft. Thanks for reading.

05/14 Update: The owner of the gym (Mike) has replied to my emails and has accessed my concerns with results. He has asked me to "keep him on his toes" and its showing. He is replacing the pads and working to configure the equipment more safely and functionally, although I haven't seen it as of today. Will reserve the 5th star for this...but overall, I appreciate the diligence and his effort to want to improve. This is a great development and it will result in a increased client base going forward. Most appreciated.

This place is shady. Make sure to save any emails and/or paperwork when canceling because like the reviews state… they will try to constantly bill you after the fact. That is STEALING, my friends. Nonetheless, the gym is a nice gym besides the rude money hungry employees. And if you think they are talking about you when you walk in, trust me they are. My wife and I have overheard some foul comments from the workers here several times. Also treat the cleaning woman with more respect people! She’s nice and works hard to keep the gym clean. I really loved this gym and recommended it to everyone… until I was given reasons not to anymore.

I have called and gone in person and sent emails but this company has been charging me for 4 years since I moved to town and I have tried to cancel my membership and they will not let people or make it extremely difficult and will keep charging!

Get in do your thing and go.
I purchased a weekly pass while I visited family and they made it super easy.
Sign in pay and get to work.
They have a variety of equipment to target just about every muscle group with stations for cardio, free weights, lifting, etc.
I've been to quite a few gyms and this one is definitely a favorite.

I usually go to this gym early in the morning 4AM to avoid the afternoon crowd, the gym is clean and it has all the equipment and machines necessary for strength training, but there is only one machine to work a certain muscle group (you won't find two machine bench press nor chest fly machine, leg curls, etc.) There is only one smith machine and several squats racks and bench presses. I like the fact this gym is open 24 hours if a key fob is purchased and it is open all year around even on holidays.

I utilize bold normally 3 days a week for spln. The instructor is outstanding the equipment on the other hand is substandard. It is a rush into the class to sift through a bunch of broken bikes to find one that works. You would think that one of the most popular classes at bold the owners would make equipment maintenance a priority. Unfortunately thats not the case.

Small, but you can get a decent workout here. Missing a few key machines to get a well-rounded workout. Since UFlex Stronghouse moved to North Charleston, this is probably the next best option for bodybuilder style training. If I had any say in the way the gym is, I'd remove the jungle gym style set up in the corner and expand the free weight section to that entire side of the gym. Back, shoulders, triceps, and calves are all difficult to train here.

My review is purely from a childcare standpoint- this place will have a lawsuit on there hands before they know it at this rate. We joined here because the gym seemed very nice, but also because we needed childcare. The sole reason we cancelled was due to the lack of actual people watching my 1 year old son. The first instance was when we walked in, he was eating chalk. The second instance, he was eating paint. The final instance, he had a smaller piece of plastic in his mouth, and had my husband not walked in at that exact moment he surely would have choked on it. It’s completely unacceptable and terrible that the child care is that bad! If you offer it, it needs to be up to par or don’t have it at all. Sadly, a child will be injured or worse before a change actually happens!

If you’re looking for a gym in the Nexton/Summerville area, this gym is a great option. The staff is helpful, gym is relatively small, gym goers keep to themselves, the grunters be grunting, and gain trainers be killing it. You love to see it! I love the sauna, I love the equipment variety, and the free weight options around the gym. This gym membership is on the pricey side which leads me to a few of my concerns. I have been a member of this gym since late 2021. The gym is clean, however it has areas of serious disorganization. In the back left corner of the gym where the, what I call “adult jungle gym” is located, equipment is left cluttered, fallen over, and disorganized, and it looks like no one ever picks up the equipment. (I’ll try to insert pictures. I don’t see the option to add in this review). There is only one box jump and it has seen better days. The outside lining is completely ripped and has been that way every time I go to the gym. If gym patrons are paying $39 a month, broken or faulty equipment should corrected in a timely manner. I am sure staff has seen that discrepancy, but nothing has been done. For the pilates equipment that is pilled up in that back left corner, it could use a new home. Seeing how that equipment is usually used and stored in the pilates/zumba/cycling room, it would be beneficial to be relocated there. There are also two holes in the wall in that back left corner. Again, it has to be seen by staff and not tended to.
Now, it’s human nature to forget to re-rack weights that were used, it’s also understandable to forget to throw your equipment cleaning towels in the dirty basket under the cleaning stations. Unfortunately, it becomes hard to understand how that is not corrected by staff IF they were to walk around the gym. Maintaining the cleanliness of the gym falls not only the gym goers, but I’m sure is a requirement of the staff.
When I became a member of this gym, I was told that you’re only allowed to use the pilates/zumba/cycling room as long as one of those sessions was being held. If there were no classes being help, the door was closed. The entire gym should be accessible and understandably off limits during a class. With the price of the membership and the large amount of gym members. Peak hours crowd the gym very fast. I would like to see proper maintenance, less space restrictions, and every aspects of the gym functioning. Also, the juice bar is rarely open, at that point it’s wasted space.
I will continue to go to this gym for a couple months in hopes of change. If there is no change, I will find another gym.
I appreciate you for reading this far and I truly hope for improvements.

Had to move out of state for a family medical emergency and didn't have the opportunity to cancel my membership in person.

Absolutely no help from their "staff".

I really like this gym. I can’t seem to find a time slot when the weight room is not crowded. I would typically grab some weights and move to an unoccupied spot but there are only mirrors in the weight room area so it’s kind of hard to space out. I kind of wish there were more mirrors. The equipment is great and the place is super clean, staff is great. I just am not sure about being able to get my full workouts in and I find myself spending more time on figuring out how to navigate without being in anyones way than I do focusing on my workout. Not sure. Going to give it a month or two and see how it goes…

I have been a member of this gym for several months now, and I really enjoy it! Yes, it's on the small side, but this isn't a massive international gym; it is a local business run by a great staff, and that's what I really want. The daycare is absolutely my favorite part. For only 1.00 a visit, I can drop my daughter off and know she is in good hands! The two ladies in daycare are phenomenal and truly care for the kids.

The new gym is so much nicer. But I don’t think the layout and space was well thought out. There is not enough room at all to work out between 4-7pm I left early the other night because there was no space in the weight area to even lift the bar without hitting some1. I think it is way to crowded and there are new cable machines that I’ve hardly seen get used. I think if some space was freed up it would be a bit easier to workout. Till then I’ll stick to 430am

No Locker Space!! No room to bring work clothes and a duffel bag..I saw guys waiting to get to there clothes after using the gym.. It seems a little confusing to be such a busy gym and have a tiny locker room area, I personally would think twice if getting a membership until you see if that works for you. My only reason using this gym is the child care, but those are limited hours too. It's nice that they have so many pieces of equipment and that it's 24 hours if you get the key fob..

Equipment not well maintained. They have a deadlifting platform, but not a quality Olympic lifting bar.
