ISI Elite Training - Garden City, SC — Local services in Garden City

Visited Garden City for 3 weeks on summer vacation and was looking for a local gym to do some morning workouts (burn off some of the vacation carbs). I found out ISI does 50min classes 3 times in the morning and figured instructor led would help with the motivation side of things as well.

Being used to barbell garage gym workouts i wasn't sure what to expect. Was it going to be cross fit? Was it going to be like beachbody on demand type workouts? It was honestly neither...more of a heavy weights HIIT workout where you move through stations hitting different muscle groups... Deadlifts, sled pushes, battle ropes, goblet squats etc.

Up at 530am while the family was sleeping in condo and at the ISI location for 615am in the morning wasn't the easiest but knowing the energy the instructors were going to provide made it much easier to wake up. Someone was going to push me. There were 15 to 25 people every class I was in (10 in 3 weeks) all looking to push themselves until there was nothing left in the tank.

If you live in the area I think its a must try, you'll get hooked if you've ever lifted before.

If you're on vacation and want to net out on calories... Highly suggest it!

Excellent workout, trainers, and classes, if you can actually go. I prepaid a year's membership after one or two classes.

However, about 8 months into that year, classes started fill up so fast that you can't actually work out unless you sign up a week in advance, which doesn't mesh with my variable work schedule.

They're spending more time and money campaigning for new members rather than adding trainers or classes while NOT reaching out to existing members like me who used to go 3-5 days a week, but haven't been able to train for months

That tells me that new ownership has switched to a business model where they want your membership fees, but your actual presence. A cynic might infer that maybe they just don't want certain demographics.

Until they add classes, I would go elsewhere. For example, you can pay $10/month to not go to a purple gym instead of $120/mo to not go to ISI and save a...

I joined ISI Garden City in the fall of 2020. I’ve renewed my membership each year because of the excellent coaching, the variety of work-outs, the accountability built into the program, and the friendships I’ve made. No matter your age or physical fitness level, you can tailor the intensity of your 50 minute work-out. You are pushed by the coaches and your fellow members to achieve your goals. It truly is a community where “Iron Sharpens Iron.” Sign up for a 7-day trial and see what I’m taking about. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. You’ll typically see me at the 9:15 am...
