Michael and Monster’s Ballroom is truly a hidden gem of the Holy City. If you’re someone who values good people, humility, and a no-ego environment, this is the place to train. The equipment is top-tier, the atmosphere is welcoming yet intense, and Michael genuinely cares about everyone who walks through the door. This is a gym built on community, respect, and hard work — not hype or attitudes. The infrared sauna for post-workout recovery is an absolute game changer and shows how much thought has gone into creating a complete training experience. If you’re serious about improving yourself — physically and mentally — come become a monster with us. Highly recommend.

Place is AWESOME!! Gym is great has everything one would need. Then coffee shop and a courtyard in the back. Great place to join if you wanna hit the gym, grab a coffee and do a little work in the back. Let’s not forget about Mike. I’ve been training with him since January and down 30lbs and gained strength at the same time. Love the place.

We’re visiting town and were so excited that we found this spot for our lifting workout as most places nearby were CrossFit gyms. Everything is brand new, high quality machines/racks/weights, and they have anything you might need for your lift - including an adorable gym poodle! Staff was super knowledgeable and helpful. Topping the workout off with an iced latte and “monster water” was the perfect ending.

Dropped in from out of town with my boyfriend. Probably one of the best gyms we’ve ever visited. The equipment is really nice. they have the lifting, jujitsu, and coffee all in one place. The owner is very welcoming and the layout of the gym is amazing. Thank you to everyone for the rolls!

Went to this gym on my visit to Charleston. Amazing set up with JiuJitsu training available, full weight room with everything you need, and has a coffee bar. Super friendly owner, he manages the gym, runs the classes, AND makes the coffee. If in the area I would go here again for fitness and awesome coffee.
