Best gym in Columbia! I have been trying to find a gym for a while but I think I have found it. Would recommend this gym to anyone in the area.
I dropped in for a few weeks while in town visiting family. Great facility, friendly staff and members. The gym has all the equipment I needed to do the programming from my home gym, and there weren’t any classes I had to worry about disturbing while I did my own thing. There was a diverse group of athletes of all ages, which is great to see. It was never too crowded and I was able to train any time of the day! Plus the space was clean, which is a nice added bonus (and not always the case in gyms). 10/10 would recommend Baseline to anyone in Columbia.
I worked with Matt W. from Baseline one on one for months. In the first couple weeks we learned fundamentals. He taught me how to do everything safely with CrossFit so I could feel comfortable and not be scared of injury. I was completely new to lifting, but he helped me feel empowered. He also knows everything about muscles and anatomy in general and was able to give me a great assessment, advice on form, modifications, advice for stretches when I felt tight in certain places etc. Then he worked remotely with me for the covid time (since my husband was higher risk) and specialized programming for me to help me reach my personalized goals (based on his assessment). He was so encouraging and understanding! He was always responsive and willing to take constructive criticism about workouts, even asked for it! I lost 20lbs in the first 3 months and built some muscle! But more than that, I felt his workouts kept me sane during that time of limited social contact. Can’t brag enough! When I was at Baseline, everyone I interacted with was so friendly and considerate! I know it’s a great gym-family!
Great place! And it keeps getting better! I never thought Personal Training was worth it until I started working with Jenny. She kicks my butt and its always fun. I started putting on 10-20lbs last fall and started to worry about my health. With Jenny i feel so much more in shape and can already see changes with my body getting a little more toned.
Baseline is a great place to work out, awesome community and people!!
