Brandon and Megan are the incredible. They have really helped me over the last 10 or so months. I originally joined because of a crushed disk in my back from 4 years ago. I had somewhat accepted that my mobility was forever changed and begun to accept my new normal. I was missing out on a lot of things. I have several friends in the medical field and they recommended Base 10 to me. I started out with limited mobility and poor overall strength and flexibility. I still have a long way to go, but from where I was to now is vastly improved. I sleep better, have more endurance, and do not decline offers for outdoor activity. I am very thankful and hope that they are around for a very long time

Discovering Base 10 was literally a life-changing experience. I joined when I was in my late 30s. I'd always been a runner and thought of myself as pretty fit. But the owner/coaches, Brandon and Megan, helped me to think about fitness in an entirely new way. Through their encouragement - and the extremely well thought-out daily workouts they put together - I got stronger, faster, and more agile. Their workouts also turned me into a faster distance runner even as I was running fewer total miles per week (because I was working out at the gym instead). One year after joining Base 10 I ran my fastest 10k ever. At the same time, I was stronger than ever and had cut down on the injury risk that comes from running lots of miles. It felt nearly miraculous to achieve all those things at once and I owed it all to Base10.
Lastly, I want to mention how wonderful the gym community is. It's friendly and supportive. Gym members form real relationships with each other. We encourage each other in the gym and become friends outside of it. There are only a handful of things in life I can recommend without any qualification at all: Base10 is one of them.

There is no limit to the amount of good things I could say about this gym. Before starting training, I considered myself pretty fit. I quickly realized that there were some areas in my fitness that I needed to round out at the end of workout #1. This is the most challenging gym I have ever been to, but also the most rewarding. While the workouts are hard, Brandon, Megan, and the rest of the coaches equip you to safely and correctly complete them at your level, and in the way it will be most beneficial to you. After being here for over a year, I am healthier, nearly injury-free as an endurance runner, and stronger than I have ever been. *Easily* one of the best decisions my husband and I have made after moving back to Columbia.

Got an email this morning reminding me that today is my one year anniversary at Base 10. My husband talked me into joining last year but I was very hesitant at first because it felt like a big commitment, both financially and time-wise. My schedule fluctuates week to week and I was worried I wouldn't be able to go as often as I wanted to really get my money out of it. Well, here I am a year later and I make the time to go because I enjoy it that much. They've also added weekend classes which has been very helpful in case I can't make it one or two days during the week. I've been working out for years at typical gyms and while I still enjoy that on occasion, these workouts are unlike any that I've done before. Brandon and Megan really put thought into programming the workouts and I love it because it forces you to do something that you wouldn't do on your own (like burpees, rowing, push-ups, running..). The coaches are really good at challenging and pushing you to do more than you think you're even capable of. Thanks Brandon, Megan, Alex, Misty, and Holden for all that you do! If you're even remotely interested, you should reach out to Brandon!

This is the hardest and best gym I have ever experienced. The instructors are so helpful. They will push you or give you a nudge. It's the best thing I have ever done for myself. Just had my one year anniversary and plan to have many more.

I've been coming to this gym for 3yrs now. Going and working out at Base 10 is my favorite part of my day!! I try to go 4-5 times a week and it is easier now that they are open 7 days a week. All the coaches are AMAZING! They really care about their members. I've lived in Cola for 5yrs and at Base 10 is where I have met some of my most favorite people in this town. It's truly a gym family. This year I changed my eating habits (thanks to Coach Megan) and I have managed to lose and keep off 45 lbs this year. I am very grateful for that. By far BEST GYM IN TOWN!!!

Class based approach - for those of us who tend to lose focus when left to our own devices. But scaled, so that they are always within reach for everyone. As challenging as you dare, as scaled as you need. Very welcoming place. All are welcomed enthusiastically. Lots of group support. Lots of humor. Lots of dang burpies too...

This is the best gym I have ever been to. The trainers are amazing and so are the members. I have never felt so welcome anywhere before. The best part is of course the results. The workouts are intense and very difficult, but super addictive. After six months, I have lost 40 pounds, feel strong, and can do stuff I never thought I would be able to do. When I started I was super out of shape, so if I can do this anyone can. If you are looking for great trainers, results, and a group of great people to workout with- then this is the gym for you.

Absolutely one of the best decisions I made for myself while I lived in Columbia! Are the workouts challenging? Yes! Do you see meaningful changes in your body? Also yes! The the gym welcomes all levels of fitness and the trainers are knowledgable, encouraging, and fun.

I have been going to to Base 10 for 3 months now after getting bored at a traditional gym. I wish I started so much sooner! The atmosphere is amazing and the coaches help you every step of the way. The coaches will always make sure you are doing the workout correctly so you get the most out of it and don't hurt yourself. I have made more improvement in 3 months at Base 10 than years of going to other gyms.

The very best gym, run by the very best people. I've seen huge improvements in my general fitness level and especially in my strength. The workouts are intense and challenge you to become your very best self. The atmosphere is great because the trainers and fellow gym goers are all very welcoming. I would recommend Base10 to anyone and everyone regardless of fitness level. I certainly was not very fit or strong when I started working out here in April 2015. And now I can't imagine a time when I didn't go to Base10.

The quality of the people at Base 10 is what makes it the best gym in Columbia. I occasionally get a visit in town and I do not feel at home until I get a work out in with Megan and Brandon and their outstanding coaching staff. They understand and are committed to solving problems using the skills that are already inside of every person that walks through their doors.

A great experience with professional trainers for all levels of fitness! The gym is fully equipped, clean, and very accessible. And they celebrate every success along the way. Actually, I know they were more excited about my success at doing a for real pushup at 60 years old than I was! Although it was something to celebrate! Every class can be scaled to the beginner, the oldies, or the Level 1 unbelievable athletes! Brandon, Megan & Dillon are the real deal motivators!

I have nothing but nice things to say about this place. Working out here has literally been life-changing. I started out with no sort of athletic background. I was in terrible shape even though I wasn't overweight. I have been going 4-6 times a week for about a year now, and I am absolutely obsessed. It is what I look forward to every day. I NEVER thought I would say that about working out. The gym is like a big family. Everyone is so encouraging and welcoming. They focus a lot on your progress. They measure every workout, and I love looking back on past workouts and lifts and seeing how far I have come. The environment is very competitive, but everyone is still so nice and uplifting. Having that competition everyday pushes me to try my best and not half-ass workouts like I would do if I were by myself. The owners, Brandon and Megan, are amazing. Brandon's passion for fitness is so obvious. He takes what he does very seriously and genuinely wants to see people improve. Megan is super friendly and inviting, but she's also probably the toughest trainer in the gym. She doesn't take excuses and she will kick your ass into shape. She has been so inspiring to watch as she got back into shape after having the cutest baby in the world (who you get to hang out with while you work out - extra perk!). Dillion, the other full-time trainer, is probably the nicest person you will ever meet. He is always smiling and making everyone laugh. He treats every single person in the gym like they are his best friend. It doesn't matter who they are. I seriously love this place. I can't imagine not getting to go there every week. It's well worth the money, and that's coming from someone who is super frugal and cheap!

As a former collegiate athlete, okay... maybe not athlete...golfer, transitioning into the professional world, I found myself looking for a place that: could maximize my time in the gym, offered flexible class times, and could help get me back in shape. After just a few months, I know BASE 10 was the perfect solution for my needs.
The trainers are well equipped with the knowledge and passion to help teach you the movements and techniques that are the foundations for each workout. They will hold you accountable and encourage you to be the best you, you can be. The workouts are always challenging but worthwhile, and the community of members are both supportive and inviting.
I would encourage anyone (young/old, in shape/out of shape) who is looking for something challenging but rewarding to give BASE 10 a try. You will not regret it.
PS: BASE 10 is locally owned and operated. It feels good to support a local business in the community in which we live!
