Alan is an expert on fitness and he provides the perfect amount of motivation and support. He motivates me to do things I never thought I could do and inspires me to go further. I've lost weight but most of all I feel stronger, more fit and more determined than I have ever felt to lead a healthy lifestyle.

The coaching staff at Rhapsody are by far the best coaches I have ever worked with. They offer the most detailed explanation of the movements and all the various modifications in order to ensure a safe and effective workout. To top it off, the coaching staff keeps the energy going from the second you walk in the door until the end of the workout. I highly recommend joining us for a workout when in town or making a commitment to join the gym for the best version of yourself in 2022!

I've been to quite a few Crossfits across the country and this is by far my favorite. Alan, Lee, and the others are about the nicest and most professional coaches you can find. Whenever I come down to Charleston, this is where I go to work off all that BBQ. Go Rhapsody!

My wife and I dropped into Rhapsody during a recent trip to Charleston. It was a Saturday morning partner workout. The entire experience was excellent. The workout was challenging but fun. The coach helped me with some skills I had been working on and gave me some cues. We will be back!!!! I strongly recommend this gym.

What a great experience! My wife & I were on vaca from Michigan & this place was amazing. Great coaching, solid programming & a welcoming community. They also pay attention to the details of their space. As owners ourselves, this says a lot about what this gym is about. If you are prospective member or a drop-in like us, give this place a try. You won't be disappointed.

This gym has quickly become one of my favorites to visit when in the Charleston area! The staff and the facility are both top notch. I've visited 20+ different CrossFit gyms over the years and this one is easily top 5. Highly recommended for a drop in if you're visiting.

I was traveling for work and dropped in for a Sweaty Saturday class. This is by far one of the best gyms/boxes I’ve ever dropped in while traveling. The process was easy at the beginning to sign up and pay for the class. I was greeted by welcoming members and an awesome coach- Gina! The workout out was fun and challenging and the gym was clean and well equipped. I will be back and recommend Rhapsody to anyone looking looking for a great workout in an awesome environment.

I dropped in at this gym a few weeks ago for a late class and honestly felt like I was right at home. Kerry was my coach and made me feel like I was one of his athletes right away! The other athletes in the class were incredible and so encouraging during the workout. I am looking forward to dropping in and being a short - term member with this awesome group of people! They go above and beyond to make you feel welcomed and make you feel as if it is your own gym!

Dropped in for Open Gym while visiting from out of town and was incredibly impressed! Super clean, friendly and welcoming staff; helped our little group of 4 fit right into the space and made us feel right at home. Equipment in excellent shape, will 100% be back when visiting Charleston again.

When I decided to start CrossFit, there was no need to try other gyms. Rhapsody has a reputation for quality, cleanliness, and community that is completely deserved. The coaches and members alike are welcoming and great motivators. I love that the coaches seamlessly provide individual instruction within the class setting. They also have a cooler stocked with caffeine and protein drinks as well as free local cold brew on tap!
Bottom line: Rhapsody is dope.

The Rhapsody team succeeds at every turn. They have all of the bases covered and every opportunity is taken to ensure the best quality for their clients. They have blown away every expectation of what a gym should be. The coaches, workouts, equipment, and community all exceed far beyond any gym experience I have had before. I will say the workouts are very hard but their team of professionals help keep you right on the edge and facilitate your growth with every workout. Within the few months I have been attending I have made huge gains in my journey of health and fitness thanks to Rhapsody's programs

I dropped in at Rhapsody in 2018 right after they opened. It was a great experience so I was excited to go back in 2021 when I was staying at Folly Beach. Not only is the facility still beautiful and immaculate, but they are just as welcoming, responsive and inclusive. I asked if two of us could join for Murph on Memorial Day. Despite the fact that this is usually an extremely busy event for most gyms, they immediately welcomed us to their 7 a.m. class. We went back for another drop in later that week, and it was just as amazing. The staff is professional, knowledgable and engaging. Highly recommend

Absolutely love this gym!! The coaches are phenomenal, the gym is spotless, everyone is friendly and helpful and most of all the workouts are insane!! We never do the same thing twice. I love it! It never get boring. I've been working with them remotely for the past few months and the program is wonderful. Gina is such a supportive coach checking in every day, zooming each week to instruct me on the workouts and tailoring every thing to my wants and needs. Alan is wonderful! He's the owner and super helpful and encouraging. Love this place!! I also worked with the nutritionist who was

Wow! We dropped in for 3 days (early Dec) while visiting Charleston from Austin and absolutely loved our experience. Hands down one of the best CF gyms ever; Alan, Crew & Members were so welcoming - we felt right at home! Beautiful facility, organized & clean + challenging programming & killer instruction. Nice touch with the postcard in the mail to say Thx For Coming. Burke & I are like, "WHAT don't these guys do right?!" Highly recommend Rhapsody - to drop in or to join. Hope to return down the road!

I was visiting this gym from out of State and so glad I did. This was the 1st of 3 gyms I visited in the area. Hands down, by far, no comparison... The best of the bunch. The staff is very nice, encouraging, energetic, fit, and the gym is beyond clean. I can't recall the last time I went to a gym that smelled so fresh. If I lived in Charleston I would have gotten a membership.
I have been to many gyms and this one ranks in my top 5. The workout was excellent! I highly recommend this gym for anyone looking to reach their goals. The workout was challenging, the staff was encouraging, and the

Finding Rhapsody has really transformed my experience here in Charleston. I've never been a person who regularly worked out. I would go to spin or barre classes here or there but I never stuck to a fitness routine. That all changed after a few drop in classes at Rhapsody.
The coaches at the gym like Alan and Gina took what could have been a really intimidating experience and made me feel comfortable, working with me every workout to help scale the wods to my fitness level. All of the coaches are rooting for your success and take the time to get to know you personally. The other members of

Rhapsody is one of the best gyms I have ever had the privilege of dropping in too. Alan was super enthusiastic and knowledgeable at an early AM class. His energy transformed a class of one regular and 6 drop ins into what seemed to be a regular 7 am class we were all laughing, talking after the wod, and truly getting to know each other. Hands down have to drop in if you're I'm Charleston!!!

Was planning a visit to Charleston and I emailed Rhapsody Crossfit to check into coming in and doing a "Crossfit Open" workout. Trinity Wheeler promptly returned my email and told me what my options could be. I returned contact with two days and times and she set these classes up for me and sent two more emails outlining the date and time and the coach that would be present. Fantastic. The facility is just off north King Street across from Melfi's Restaurant. It's a medium size box, in my experience, and fully equipped and it's clean and bright. I was very comfortable

My first CrossFit experience. Alan offered me, someone visiting on business, an intro session the following morning, before I went to work. The session was great and i loved the 'practicality' of the CrossFit workout, akin to a full-body martial arts workout, but without punching and kicking. I felt great leaving the session and I need to start a regular CrossFit regimen in Colorado.
