Fine people,
I find myself on vacation right in the middle of a contest prep.
Anyone know of a powerlifting worthy gym near Edisto Beach/Island S.C.???
Thank you all.
That’s a pretty tall order man … I’ve never stayed there (or needed a gym there), but that whole area is pretty remote in terms of almost anything found in “normal” civilization …like one restaurant, one grocery store, etc … No real towns to support a commercial gym. I could be wrong, but it would be a small miracle to find one there.
Assuming you don’t want to trek to Charleston during your vacation, as much as I hate to say it your best bet might be finding a crossfit gym somewhere in the area…like Starbucks, they seem to be everywhere now

Thanks! I thought as much.
We set up the vacation and then I’m “hey, they posted a contest in July!”
Crossfit.
If I find one, I can drop a few deadlifts and fit right in.
Yeah, I know it’s frustrating not being able to find a decent gym while traveling - even on vacation, but especially with a comp on the horizon …
Charleston or Orangeburg would be your best bets if you just want to get 1 or 2 in during your vacation … Both about an hour away, give or take
On a positive note, I’ve never been but have heard nothing but good things about Edisto … Very laid back, beautiful, and relaxing
Enjoy your vacation!

Used to go to Disney area once per year for work and so brought the family and made it a fractional vacation. There was a great gym in Kissimmee. Squat racks, lots of weights, can’t remember the name but a real gym. One year I go to it and there are no collars for the bars, weights are scarce. They stopped allowing chalk and cornstarch. They have a day care and a room where a bunch of women are dancing.
So goes the world.
And thanks so much for the good words, the kind thoughts.
