[ South Carolina · United States ]

A personal trainer in South Carolina, without the hourly rate.

There are 60 named gyms and sports centres across Columbia, Charleston and North Charleston, YMCA and Orangetheory Fitness among them, and the programme is written around whichever one you use. There is no HYROX in South Carolina yet. The nearest is Atlanta, roughly 311 km from Columbia in a straight line, and the programme is dated backwards from whichever race you enter. Online personal training from HYROX Elite 15 athlete Ben Sutherland, rebuilt every Sunday from what you logged.

Atlanta

23 April 2027 · 311 km from Columbia

Straight-line distance, so the drive is longer. Far enough that a race is a weekend rather than a morning, which changes the taper more than it changes the training — you want to arrive with a day in hand rather than racing off a flight.

What to look for is not a HYROX sticker on the door. It is a sled lane long enough to push on, a spare wall for wall balls, and a rower nobody queues for at 6pm. These are the named sites in the state's largest metros.
