I started working out at Athletes Arena Irmo location in August 2017 with personal trainer Heather Kobus. 1) because I was struggling with the commitment on my own to go to the gym. If I had the choice at the end of the day to relax at home or go to the gym I would of course choose to stay home after a long day. Making a commitment to meet with a personal trainer gave me the incentive and motivation needed to get to the gym and get back in shape. I feel stronger, have more confidence, and a lot more energy. I look forward to new challenges each work out brings. The health benefits long term are worth it. The second reason is a shoulder issue and pain that I have suffered with for years due to tennis. I've had 2 surgeries, and the most recent diagnosis was shoulder replacement. I wasn't happy about the news so I had a second opinion and it still required surgery. Since I have been working out with Heather I have very little to no pain. She has concentrated on helping me get stronger with building the muscles around my shoulder and now I can do the simple things that everyday life requires, and the quality of sleep is so much better. 5 stars for Athletes...
Read moreAthletes arena has had such an amazing impact on my life. Physically I have never played better, I am able to move more and hit harder than any other years I’ve played volleyball.

From that point, not only do they prepare and progress you but it’s such a family and a group that I have never been happier to work out with!! I look forward to everyday coming in to my second family and getting better because of the incredible trainers at...
Read moreDuring my days as professional baseball scout- I always referred talented athletes to athletes arena. With that said, I also referred those who were not as athletically talent. The results for both were always stellar. Recently, my own son has trained there and I have been very happy with their level of specificity with the many different athletes. Yesterday, we had a contact injury that happened during a football game which will lead us to an ortho on Monday. Even with my contacts from my baseball days, my first call was to Jason Brunson and Shane Miller. They were able to get me set up with the best doctor for the specific injury by 11am Saturday morning. They will be the ones working through the rehab that happens next with my son. No need to look anywhere else for...
