This place is responsible for turning me into a gym rat and I love it! The camaraderie, the varying intensity of the workouts, the structure of the classes, and the mentorship of the coaches has helped me not only shed 80+ lbs but instilled in me the discipline and confidence to achieve “unreachable” goals. I’ve hopped around different gyms all over Columbia for years. While I’ve always felt welcomed, this is the first place I’ve felt invited. Gene and Heather (Becky, Diane, and Ms. Hammock too) are great at what they do (including but not limited to: coaching, motivating, cat wrangling, and reminding us there’s no crying in the dojo). If you’re on the fence or just looking to try something new, I can’t recommend this place enough! Warrior Fitness is much more than just a gym, it’s a community.
Listen, I am not a crossfit-er or exercise enthusiast by any means, but Workhorse Fitness and Heather have literally changed my life. Here's a little background - in 2008 I weighed in at 308lbs. I was eating poorly (DUH!) and my work really prevented me from finding a schedule where I could be more active. Over the course of the next 2 years, I dropped weight...a lot of it. About 120lbs. Even through the Atkins Diet, transition to Weight Watchers, and typical classes at my local gym in Orangeburg, something was still missing. I used to be depressed about my weight and wearing size 48 pants. Then, I became depressed about the excess skin that I had developed. It was one thing after another. Then it went back to poor habits, where I would still binge eat a whole pizza if I felt like it, and I didn't care to step foot into a gym again. I also developed other unhealthy habits like smoking and drinking too much. Even after all of the weight
Always been a big fan of cardio....and solely cardio. If someone told me I would find a gym that would not only get me into lifting weights but enjoy it, I would have laughed in your face before I did the six week challenge. I was skeptical and even put off doing the challenge at first...in fact Heather probably called me somewhere around 10 times to schedule a spot before I finally decided to do it. And even up to the very last moment of me being able to drop out I contemplated..but boy am I glad I didn't! I dropped 7% of my entire body fat in 6 weeks. That's wild. I actually FEEL good. I would never think that I would be the type of person who looks forward to setting a 5:30am alarm to go to a 6am workout, but here I am. I LOVE Workhorse. I love the trainers. I love the workouts. I love that I feel like I am part of a family here. 100000% recommend over any other gym or workout routine out there. Hands down the best gym experience of
Workhorse is the most welcoming gym! I can’t say enough good stuff about the trainers. Ib, Heather, and Gene treat you like family. I’m really grateful to have found such a great place to workout. All the trainers push you, but also understand not every one is on the same fitness level. I have learned a lot about strength training since coming up Workhorse. I’d highly recommend this gym. I’ve really enjoyed working out there for the past year. Can’t imagine going anywhere else!
