Came in from out of town and wanted to knock out a quick workout before eating my way through town. Found gritbox on google and decided to try a class! (I signed up and booked online) Everyone there was very friendly and super helpful as a first timer in. The front desk and the instructor took their time to make sure I was comfortable throughout the whole experience! A nice cardio heavy, 45 min workout. Thanks for having me!

Great full body workout with a lot of energy. What I like about Gritbox is the strength exercises are well balanced. Preventing muscular imbalances & posture issues that many boxer's and ordinary people develop over the years. From a Trainer at another gym, hopefully we both can grow to encourage people not only to get fit, but emphasize the importance of martial arts implemented into their fitness routine. Cheers!

I just went for the first time and not only was it fun and exhausting in the best way, but the instructors went out of their way to teach me the boxing basics one on one. The environment was so welcoming and so were the people. I'd recommend!

I’ve had such an amazing experience with Gritbox. I came in as a complete beginner and Camille immediately welcomed me in and showed me how to kickbox. She went out of her way to show her how to lead left-handed as well. Every class is so fun and it feels private even in a group setting. The music and lights always make it feel like a party more than a workout and I leave feeling stronger after each class. I highly recommend to anyone who isn’t sure what kind of workout is best for them as they teach you so many different kinds of exercises and every class is different. All the instructors are very kind and make the workout the best it can be!

I had an incredible experience at GritBox! Lauren, the host, was fantastic and provided a clear overview of the class concept, ensuring I knew exactly what to expect. Mike, the trainer, was incredibly motivating and kept the class moving smoothly. After the class, I spoke with Kelly, the director, and expressed my appreciation for the cool atmosphere and exceptional cleanliness. I’ll definitely be returning on my next trip to Charleston.

I went to Charleston for a Bachelorette party and the bride wanted to work out one morning. Gritbox didn't have any times that worked for us, so they scheduled a private class for our group. It was awesome! The class was upbeat and fun and the trainers were super helpful for those who had never boxed before. They even had mimosas waiting for us after class. Kelly taught an awesome class and Nik helped us out with form and also took pictures and videos. This gym is wonderful and the people who work there are so kind. I would ABSOLUTELY recommend this gym to anyone visiting or anyone who lives in the Charleston area. The workout will kick you A$$, but it's so fun to let it all out on the bags!

One of the best boxing and fitness classes I’ve taken in the country. Great music, instructor was clear but didn’t talk too much, fast and quick and great calorie burn. Good mix of guys and girls and fit and those working to lose weight

I've been a member of grit box for over a year now. Best decision for a great workout, atmosphere, and awesome trainers. They always greet you with a smile and encourage you to not give up no matter how tired you are! Mike has the best upper body workouts that will have you feeling like "Hulk Smash" afterwards Lol. Savannah is the azz and abs queen, Camille, Nik, and Kelly will have you pumped throughout your workout as well. Music is great! All trainers will keep you own your toes and have you coming back for more! Try it!

Anti-workout girl turned Gritbox fanatic here. Literally dabbled in the membership to try to work on my health and fitness with their smallest membership And that membership was booted very quickly after I began attending classes here.
Since March I upgraded to an unlimited membership, Convinced my husband to try “just one class” with me …. But once he did, he never looked back either & now he also has an unlimited membership to this magical place.
Nothing but Great things to say about their workouts And all of the staff/coaches!! I’d be Mind blown if anyone regretted Trying it out!

Gritbox is an amazing workout! The environment is so fun and upbeat. All of the coaches and staff are so friendly! Allie is the absolute BEST! She is so kind and welcoming. I came in with no experience and she spent extra time with me before and after class to help me master all the different punches. The class was challenging but Allie’s bright attitude and motivation made it fun and rewarding to conquer the workout. I can’t say enough positive things about Allie and the entire Gritbox staff. I definitely will be going back!

They make working out FUN! My go to birthday party workout with my girls! Honestly they’re the best workouts I’ve ever had. Burning so many calories to the best music with no one looking at you because you’re in the nightclub lighting! Plus the variety of teachers keep you on your toes. Really loving JTs classes personally! Lots of membership options and it’s absolutely worth it!

I started going there November 9 of 2022. I recommend this gym because I have lost over 80 pounds. When I started I was 243 pounds and now I am 163. Storm this weight loss is dedicated to you. Thank you so much for everything that you’ve done for me and all the personal training session.

I was on vacation for the first time in Charleston and came across this place to stay active. Went there three straight days and EVERYONE was PHENOMENAL. The coaches and the staff were extremely friendly and the workout is just the best of two worlds. If you want to combine cardio and strength while having a different kind of workout this is your place. Bring GRIT, you'll need it. Thanks team.

10/10 would recommend Grit Box to anyone and everyone! The instructors inspire you to punch harder/faster and lift heavier. While the workouts as a whole have you dripping sweat and feeling so energized in only 45 minutes. The combination of kickboxing and weight training gives you a full body workout like no other! You'd be crazy not to come see what all the hype is about!

Grit Box is incredible. I joined as a member 4 months ago but it feels like I've been a member here for years because of how inclusive, inspiring, and motivating it has been. Every single class is a hard workout with incredible music, people, and energy. I also really admire their focus on continuous improvement. Everytime I go it seems like they've made some improvement to the experience - they bring in live DJs, have 'thirsty thursdays', partner with local businesses, and have the newest equipment and technology. Cody is an incredible owner who truly cares about the business and the members. Coaches like Dani, Hannah, Britt and Tiffany are so kind and motivating and will do anything to make you feel included and badass. I absolutely love it here and wouldn't want to be at any other gym in Charleston (or the world, for that matter <3) Thank you for being such an incredible part of my week/day/life, grit box.

We came to Gritbox for the first time this past Saturday and took a private class for my best friends Bachelorette party! We didn’t know what to expect as none of us have ever boxed before, but we were immediately greeted by the friendliest staff who were so excited to help celebrate our Bride! The 45min boxing/ HIIT style class was SO fun and challenging and one of my favorite workouts I’ve ever done. Dani was our coach and walked us through everything, while also keeping the fun energy going. It was the best atmosphere and everyone in our group can’t stop talking about it. This was one of the highlights of our bachelorette trip and anyone planning a bachelorette in Charleston that has a high-energy, athletic bride NEEDS to do this. Or just come to the studio for a workout period. Gritbox should open a location in ATL next. :) Thanks for an amazing time.

While visiting a friend in Charleston last weekend for her birthday, I decided to give Grit Box a try. I had seen friends post about the workout on Instagram and was curious--plus I wanted to get a good workout in before the birthday celebrations of the weekend. The workout was challenging, fun, and energetic. The high intensity movements, perfectly loud music, and lively atmosphere made it the perfect workout to get us energized for our Saturday festivities. I would highly recommend this workout to anyone looking to try something new.

This gym is awesome! From the staff, trainers, and classes it is everything I look for in a gym membership! Even in a group class the trainers find ways to help you one on one during, before, and after the workout, so that you get the most out of your membership. From the first class, I immediately felt welcomed by staff and I encourage everyone who wants a new gym to come try our Grit Box!

After taking an almost 10 month hiatus from working out at the gym, I decided I definitely needed some structure and routine. If you want high intensity and a place where to kick box without all the rules. This is definitely a place where you will get full body and a targeted workout in one session!
Grateful to be back at Grit Box!

Where do I even start with all the amazing things I want to say about this gym! I was a long time athlete and in the last few years I lost that competitive feeling. GritBox helped light that fire again! If you’re looking for a challenging, high paced, fulfilling workout, it’s at GritBox! The coaches/ trainers are always striving to better themselves and their clients. This Grit Gang will be sure to have a good attitude, welcome you into their fitness family, and push you to achieve goals you never knew you had. Not to mention, the gym is super clean and has the best vibe to hype you up through your workout. This has been the best addition to my daily routine and I couldn’t be more grateful!

I love this gym!! I have been going for three months and it’s the best thing I’ve ever done for myself! The coaches make you feel so included in everything. I had zero experience in kickboxing and now I go 4/5 days a week. You truly feel part of a gym family. I’ve taken a class with every coach and I would recommend any of their classes to new people! I cannot say enough about Grit! Sunday Sunday’s, thirsty Thursday, yard workouts and Halloween parties! The minute you walk into grit you are greeted with the nicest staff and introduced to your coach. Then you walk into the coolest workout room with upbeat music, strength benches and kickboxing bags. It is the best gym!!

I'm not a class person and I prefer to do workouts on my own time. I went to GritBox for the first time, and was HOOKED (see what I did there?). I've never taken a kickboxing classes before, and the coaches were helpful with getting the punches and knees/kicks down. I liked the strength exercises we did-they were different than what I would've set for myself. Overall, GritBox is a great workout for both cardio and strength, physical and mental.
