Parking is available in the paved lot between ESP and The Daily, as well as the gravel lot (under the overpass) on the other side of ESP.

Yes. Our ESP app is your go-to for booking classes and staying updated on all important events.

Athletes should wear clothing they can comfortably work out in. They can bring a water bottle (we have two water fountains), and we have water and food by JustFit Kitchen for purchase. A locker room is available for storing personal items.

If an athlete misses a class or cancels within 4 hours, we have a $15 late cancellation fee. If they miss a training session, it is up to them to reach out to their personal trainer to reschedule.

We track progress through baseline evaluations when an athlete starts, measuring speed, change of direction, jump height and strength. Athletes are re-tested each trimester so families can see measurable improvements and athletes stay motivated.

Yes. We partner with Made 2 Move Physical Therapy, who work in our facility daily. From early rehab to return-to-play, ESP and M2M collaborate to help athletes recover safely and come back stronger. Injured athletes continue training through our Injury Reserve program with modified, ability-specific programming.

Training frequency depends on your athlete’s schedule. During the season, once per week is effective for maintaining, and often improving, performance. In the off-season, training 3–4 times per week allows for faster progress and better preparation for the next season.

It’s everything. Effective coaching is at the heart of every athlete’s success. And it isn’t just at the facility or about teaching technique – it’s about being a mentor in all aspects of life. We are invested – time, energy and care – in our athletes and we intend to be both a resource and an outlet. We will be that person.

Our facility is just over 10,000 square feet, with 7,000 square feet dedicated to training space. We feature a 25-yard turf lane designed for movement training, sprinting, and plyometric work.

On the strength side, the gym is equipped with 8 full squat racks, along with a full range of dumbbells, kettlebells, and medicine balls to support comprehensive strength development. We also offer a variety of cardio equipment and specialty training tools, including Keiser machines.

Beyond training, athletes have access to a dedicated recovery area and private space to meet with physical therapists, sports nutritionists, and a mental performance coach, supporting a well-rounded, high-performance environment.

Yes! We have a full lobby available to all members and clients, with complimentary wifi, as well as an upper lounge geared more towards youth athletes.

Yes. We believe that it is crucial to athlete development to train all year. When athletes are in their season of their sport, they can train once a week on our SILVER package and when they transition to their off season, upgrading to our GOLD package.

Yes! We view every child as an athlete, whether they are involved or interested in organized sports.  The most important thing to us is that they are here for a purpose: to get better! 

We offer training that will help athletes of any sport! We train specifically for athletic development, focusing on traits such as speed, strength and power that will translate to any field of play. When we know the sport(s) an athlete plays we are able to tailor their training to match the demands of that sport, where it is needed and helpful. If you are looking for training that is more “sport-specific” some of our private, semi-private and team training options might be best.

Yes. We currently have an Open Gym membership ($150/mo.) for current college athletes that allows unlimited ESP Open Gym access during our operating hours.

Yes. We are the proud home of multiple professional teams, such as our SC Stingrays and Charleston Battery, as well as local sports teams such as Charleston Lacrosse, Pack Athletics Cheer and CT Development.

Foundations and Development are our two youth training programs, organized by age group. While both focus on the same core athletic traits, the approach and emphasis evolve with the athlete.

Foundations focuses on teaching the fundamentals of movement – coordination, balance, body control, and acceleration.

Development builds on those fundamentals with a greater emphasis on strength, speed, and power.

Workouts in both programs are tailored to the age and ability of each athlete, ensuring everyone is appropriately challenged and continues to improve in a safe, structured environment.

We train athletes ages 8–18, as well as collegiate and professional athletes. Programs are tailored to the athlete’s age, experience, and developmental stage to ensure safe, effective, and purposeful training.

Monday – Thursday: 4:00 PM, 5:15 PM + 6:30 PM
Friday: 4:00 PM
Saturday: 9:30 AM + 11:00 AM

60 minutes

Foundations: 6 Athletes
The smaller group size (6 athletes) allows for more individualized attention, ensuring each athlete develops proper technique and builds a strong foundation.

Development: 8 Athletes
Slightly larger groups (8 athletes) allow athletes to train with peers at a similar skill level while still receiving guidance to push their development further.

Yes. We offer a one-week trial for classes so athletes can experience our coaching and space before committing. Please reach out to us for intro personal training options.

We offer 2 class memberships:

Silver: 4 classes per month
The Silver membership is great for athletes who may be in-season, with busy practice schedules but are still interested in maintaining and progressing in their athletic abilities.

Gold: unlimited classes per month
The Gold membership is geared towards athletes who might be in their off season, have more availability to train or generally looking to make a major push towards improving the traits that go into making all athletes better.

All memberships are recurring, with a 14 day cancellation notice using this form.

You do not need a membership for personal training. Training sessions are conducted outside of class time by our ESP trainers and purchased in packages of 2, 4 or 8 sessions.

Memberships run in 30-day cycles (with autopay and a 14-day cancellation notice). If you’re a student athlete on break or a local in between school schedules, reach out to us for options!

Yes, we offer 15% off class memberships if a sibling is joining. Please email us prior to purchase so the discount can be propery applied.
