I have been training with Wes since 2018 and I would follow him anywhere. I am not someone who particularly loves "group fitness" but EQ, via Wes, finds a way to make me love it. The workouts and programming are backed by science. I feel strong and fit. And I am always happy to see some of my favorite people every morning at 5:30 AM. You will never regret giving this place a try.

I absolutely love this gym! It’s so much more than a place to work out, it really feels like a community. The trainers and staff are welcoming, encouraging, and always go above and beyond to help you reach your goals. The members are friendly and supportive, which makes every workout something I actually look forward to. I love that I can work out, even do yoga and Pilates with my husband, and they even offer fun workout classes for the whole family too. And as a parent, one of the things I appreciate most is the complimentary childcare. The staff is so wonderful and caring with the kids, and it gives me complete peace of mind while I exercise.

I always knew I would love group fitness, but EQ has become so much more than just a group fitness gym.

Wes and the other trainers will know your name from the first time you come and they will never forget it. It is a challenging but also encouraging environment.

I’ve seen Wes and the other staff go above and beyond to serve, not just for me, but other members in times of need. They love their people well and you can’t say that about every gym.

I’ve been an athlete my whole life but I can confidently say I have never felt so strong and capable in my life and that’s after having 2 babies in less than 2 years! It’s all thanks to EQ!

ps: shout out to Kate working her PT magic on my knee and back on more than one occasion :)

This gym is truly one of a kind! The group training classes are the perfect mix of challenging and fun. Every workout is thoughtfully planned, and the coaches are so encouraging and knowledgeable—they meet you where you are but push you to grow stronger every time. The energy in the room is always so positive, and it feels like a real community.

One of the biggest bonuses for me is the childcare. It’s such a relief to know my kids are being well taken care of while I focus on myself for an hour. The staff is amazing with them, and my kids actually enjoy going!

EQ is a great gym for people of all backgrounds. The workouts are doable, but also challenging. The trainers are always willing to lend a helping hand whether it’s modifications, or answering questions on form. I also really enjoy the group dynamic and encouragement. I don’t have a kid, but the included childcare is a game changer for some of my mom friends. Love this gym!

I’ve never considered myself a “gym person,” but this place has changed that. From day one, I felt welcomed and supported. The workouts are consistently challenging, but never repetitive—they strike the perfect balance of structure and variety to keep things interesting and effective.

What really sets this gym apart is the environment. It’s positive, motivating, and never intimidating. The trainers are incredibly knowledgeable and have a great instinct for when to offer tips or push you just a bit further—always at the right time.

Effective? Yep! I’ve become the most fit I’ve ever been, and I actually look forward to coming to class. If you’re someone who’s never felt at home in a gym, this might just be the place that changes that.

After my last gym unexpectedly closed, I started doing trials at different gyms before signing a membership. EQ was the first new gym I tried and I loved it so much that I didn't want to go anywhere else! The environment has been so welcoming, and I feel like I'm being challenged during every workout. So proud to be a member!

I have been a member of the EQ family for 4 months. It is great!!
I had been sedentary for a long time and needed to do more than walk for exercise. This program is challenging and doable. I enjoy working with Wes and the 5:30am crew. Everyone is helpful. Also, having Physical Therapy services readily available is a plus.
Join us. You won't regret it.

I only wish I became a member sooner! As an Air Force spouse, I'm always having to find a new workout community with every move, which can be very intimidating. But EQ is anything but! Seriously. Everyone is so nice and welcoming. And the fact that child care is included in your membership...huge win!
I spent the majority of my first year at EQ pregnant with my 2nd baby and Wes always made sure to provide modifications to certain parts of the day's workout. I've never really incorporated weights into my routine and I've learned so much.
No other gym has given me so much FOMO when I miss a class. I wish I could take yall with me when we move again!

I was here for 6 months because of my husband’s job and I was so blessed by this gym the whole time. All the trainers are very attentive and ready to help with form and alternatives when needed. I love that the group work outs hit different muscle groups throughout the week so that you build your strength all over. I can’t wait to come back if we ever end up in Columbia again! It was a great community, very family like. They have book clubs and other fun events to bring everyone together and cultivate a close knit community. I can’t recommend this gym enough, it’s the best one in Columbia.

Best gym ever! There is no other place like this. Every time you walk in, you are welcomed and made to feel comfortable. The members are all nice and supportive. The best trainers you can find! The family environment is unmatched. I have never been to a gym that compares to this one. It is amazing from the ground up. Every detail of the business is methodically planned with nothing left out. Even the child care workers they hire are so kind(which is hard to find and usually overlooked). I can go on and on but honestly once you walk in you will see for yourself. They have made this place into somewhere they work out themselves which says everything. I enjoy every workout and have even found my best friend here. Thank you for an amazing gym!

If you are looking for a supportive, judgment-free place to not only work out in a super fun community, but also learn how to safely gain strength and overall fitness in a wholistic way, this is your gym family! Wes and all the trainers are excellent, and it’s so much more than a gym. Kate has helped me through knee and neck issues in physical therapy with great success. We have a book club, family workout days for the kids, holiday events, regular dinners out, yoga every week, etc etc. Childcare is included, goal meetings are included, and I can guarantee you will quickly feel a sense of belonging and acceptance that is truly hard to find in other gyms. I’ve never loved working out like I do now because of EQ, and even more importantly, it has been the biggest factor in helping bring me out of a major depression! It has also caused a mindset switch from simply weight loss to feeling empowered by gaining strength and being strong! I have a whole new appreciation for my body and what it is capable of doing, and I respect the process of long term consistency and doing everything in a healthy way, making sure to nourish and fuel my body properly along the way. Thanks for the journey, Wes and the whole EQ fam! I’m so blessed to be a part of this special place!

Dr. Kate was awesome to work with and really helped identify my issue and help me find ways to help correct it. I highly recommend her to any one looking for a good physical therapist. I also really appreciated the private setting and 1 on 1 session that you get using EQ versus some of the larger PT providers who pack a bunch of patients into the same room. I will definitely be returning.

I have two knees. One of which has historically been my "good knee" until one day it most certainly wasn't. Within minutes, Dr. Newsome identified the issue was caused by my ankles -- not my knees!

She spent time with me and showed various stretches and exercises to help strengthen my ankles and improve the pain in my knee. Dr. Newsome followed up my visit with an email of what we discussed including images of the exercises and a regimen for me to do at home.

I'm happy to report I followed the doctor's orders and not only are my ankles stronger but I now have two GOOD knees!

I came to Dr. Kate Newsom with severe headaches, and tightness in my neck, back, shoulders, and chest. After seeing her weekly for dry needling and physical therapy, I’m pain free and I have the tools to stay that way. Dr. Kate personalized my treatment plan and took into account my lifestyle. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

Perfect place to stay in shape. Wes is always willing to modify an exercise for me if I am not comfortable with it. There are all different levels of skills so no one ever feels out of place. It's a family! Everyone supports and encourages each other as well as celebrating your victories. Having physical therapy on site with Kate and 24 access if you miss a class elevates this gym above all others.

Want to start moving in a caring and challenging environment? In my opinion, EQ Fitness is where you need to be.
One reason is that it is locally owned and operated with the owners promoting family first, as well as being genuinely interested in their clients. Second, it doesn’t matter if you’re 18 or 80, Wes and Ryan, will meet you where you are physically. There is a daily protocol and the trainers will make modifications to meet your/individual needs. Third, Wes has a plethora of knowledge that he shares while he’s training. He will explain the significance of what we are doing and the impact it has on what body part.
Going to EQ 4 times a week is the one thing I do for myself. Not only do I do it for my physical health, I do it for my mental health. I just completed my 50th class only because of the help and support that I’ve gotten from my EQ family.
You must try it! You’ll like it! It will make a difference!

I’ve always worked out alone but now that I’m a business owner and mom, I don’t have time to go into the gym and figure out what I’m doing that day. I need a good workout that I can fit into my busy schedule and EQ is perfect. I was a little intimidated about group training but I can honestly say that I look forward to going to the gym now. EQ feels like a family and I work hard because I feel accountable to the people in my class. Wes and Kate are the nicest people and are super supportive of my business as well. If you are on the fence about joining EQ, come try a class. I promise you will love it!

I worked with Kate for physical therapy at EQ to help with some issues postpartum, and it was a wonderful experience. She was patient, kind, and understanding - even letting my 10 month old join me for our session! My back pain has improved, my strength has improved, and I was able to get back to playing soccer. I would highly recommend the gym and the PT to anyone!

Took a group class here and loved it! My friend had to convince me to go because I usually hate group workouts. The way the class is structured was perfect for someone who is like me and wants to work out alone. Most of the class you are on your own and when you are in a group it's fun....no pressure, not competing, etc.

I loved the music and got a major sweat on! Great workout!

Where to begin! If you are looking for a personable, challenging and fun workout environment, look no further than EQ! Wesley and Kate Newsome really are a powerful duo. They both deeply care about the well-being and equilibrium of each of their clients. They are people driven in all aspects of their buisness and in gym ownership. As a former athlete and someone who has suffered many injuries, the workouts Wes designs meets everyone where they are in their fitness and health journies and goals. Kate has helped my recovery from ACL reconstruction and overall performance increase in so many ways. Come check them out!

EQ Fitness is not just a gym. It is a family, where we all work hard while motivating each other to become our best selves. No work out is ever the same which I love because I never get board. I joined this gym because I believe Wes is one of the best trainers out there. He brings the energy and really cares about his clients and it shows. There are also family days where your little can come and work out with you, sip and paint nights and all kinds of fun team building activities. We all have become a family and would love for you to join us!

Wes Newsom is truly the best. I went from being relatively sedentary to regularly lifting, jumping, running (eh), squatting, etc. under his careful watch. I needed all of the modifications when I started and he made me comfortable with what I couldn't do and then helped me turned my couldn't list into a long list of things I can do and do well. It's crazy to think that he has been training me for 5 years. There is no looking back. I'll be 50 this year and am the healthiest and most active that I have been since I was a child. If you are looking for a trainer that has great energy, makes working out fun, creates a community amongst the clients and looks out for each person working out, you'll find it at EQ Fitness. I love the beautiful, clean new gym, the trainer, the physical therapist, and the friends that I have made there. My husband and kids work out with me, too. Absolutely top notch!

Love the pre-recorded virtual workouts (since I don’t wake up in time to do them live). Wes is motivating and instructional and the workout structures are varied enough that you don’t get bored; I always end up with a good puddle of sweat on my mat. Excited for the physical gym to open but will still plan on doing the virtual classes since that works best for my schedule. Even with my home gym equipment, Wes makes sure to share a variety of ways to make the exercises harder as needed to continue pushing myself to get stronger. I am SO happy EQ Fitness has the virtual classes! Whether in the gym or at home, plan on EQ/Wes giving you an awesome workout!

Wow, where to even start. Wesley has been my trainer for the last three years and I cannot begin to tell you all of the wonderful things that he brings to the table. Wes has pushed me when I needed to be pushed and given me modifications when I when I was pregnant or had an injury. He works hard to accommodate all of his clients and makes sure that we are getting the most out of the workouts. He’s friendly, professional and always a phone call away. He will keep you laughing during the workout and play hype music to keep you going. You won’t regret joining.

I have trained with Wesley 750+ times over the last 5 years. You will not find a more caring, fun and motivating trainer nor a more supportive and encouraging community of women to workout with.

Wes has an amazing way of adapting the workouts to meet your individual needs with up mods and down mods for everyone no matter if this is your first workout or 1000th.

I’ve been looking for a workout that I enjoy for 10+ years. Wes has been the first trainer to provide that. Also, he only attracts the best type of people so I’m surrounded by supportive good hearted people during each workout. Sweat and laughs every time 😂🥵
