From the reviews

Not from the area, The Works was recommended to me. I still gave it 5 stars, but parking is tough. Get there early enough to find a free spot in residential, or pay. No biggie, I found it free. I wouldn't say the music was too loud, but there were times when I couldn't hear the instructor.

The Works CHS is hands down my favorite place to work out! From HIIT to sweat, sculpt, and yoga, they offer such a great variety of classes that keep me motivated and engaged. The community is amazing — everyone is so supportive and welcoming, creating such a positive and encouraging atmosphere.

★★★★★ — Devon, Apr 2025

I cannot say enough about my love for The Works. The Mash-Up is the most amazing class. If you feel like yoga is too slow, boring, and not enough cardio/sweat - this place is for you! The energy is contagious and the instructors are funny and fun.

★★★★★ — Somer, Apr 2025

Amazing work out by Susan This time they had a locker assigned to me with a love note Such an amazing vibe and music If you are in Charleston, don’t miss this studio!

Your first hot yoga class at The Works

Nervous about your first hot class? Almost everyone is, and a good studio expects beginners to walk in the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: the room is heated to around ~90°F, so it feels intense for the first few minutes — rest in child's pose any time you need to, no one will bat an eye. Hydrate: drink water through the day before class, not just as you arrive, and bring a bottle. What to bring: a mat and towel, water, and a change of clothes; wear something light you don't mind sweating through, and skip a heavy meal in the couple of hours beforehand. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign in and set up. It gets easier fast — most people say their third class feels completely different from their first.

Heat and intense exercise aren't right for everyone — if you're pregnant or have heart, blood-pressure, or other health concerns, check with a doctor before your first hot class.
