OUR MISSION + PASSION
WHAT WE STAND FOR.
Your body is a temple, given to you by God. It’s one of a kind and it’s worth investing in. YOU are worth investing in. Here at TEMPLE, we’ll put you through workouts that challenge you physically and mentally. Every “hard thing” is introduced with the intention of helping you come out better on the other side. Everything we do, we do with intention.
Our workouts are programmed with you in mind, while also sticking to what works. We know that strength training is the best way to “bulletproof” your body, and with the combination of cardiovascular training + mobility work? You’ll be unstoppable.
So, our mission? To create a space that will teach you to honor your body, see what it’s capable of, and grow in more ways than you’ve ever imagined. You’ll learn, flourish, and enjoy the work it takes to invest in yourself, all beside some really amazing people.
TEMPLE was born from a dream, one that was just to open a gym in Columbia, South Carolina. But now it exists to bring energy, life, community, and a whole lot of sweat! It’s an honor to be a part of the ever growing fitness community in Columbia. We like to say we’re a fitness facility unlike any other. Come join us and see why— you’ll be glad you did.
WHAT OUR MEMBERS ARE SAYING…
“The coaching at TEMPLE is unmatched, and I have been safely challenged in ways I never thought possible. I’ve worked towards goals and reached them… all while being cheered on by the TEMPLE crew. But, this gym is more than just a room with a bunch of weight plates and dumbbells. TEMPLE is my happy place. I’ve made and sustained friendships here, and the conversations I’ve had are deeper than my back squats…”
— Meg Mohan
“What’s so special about TEMPLE is that no matter what season of life you’re in, they meet you with arms wide open. After exclusively personal training for years with Liz, through two pregancies, I felt that it was a good time to transition to group classes. I have to say, the camaraderie and atmosphere of the 5:30 am class is addictive. The programming is excellent, the vibe is welcoming, and the community that has been fostered at TEMPLE is so special!”
— Kaleigh Hegler
“The thing that first attracted me to TEMPLE was the clean and quality equipment that I saw advertised. Since joining, it has been the coaches and variety of workouts that have kept me coming back. I like that the workouts emphasize all three major planes of motion, instead of just the saggital plane. Besides the workouts, the relationships I have built with each of the coaches are unique and fulfilling.”
