EQ Fitness and Physical Therapy — Local services in Columbia

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...

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...

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....
