The revival starts here.
our why
We’ve worn just about every hat a gym can offer—member, coach, manager, programmer. And for ten years, we talked about opening our own place. Not just a gym—but something more personal. More intentional.
Every time we almost started, something got in the way. Looking back now, we’re glad it did—because we weren’t building for the right reasons. Now, we are.
Revival was born out of the shift from chasing competition to choosing longevity. From working out to working through. From going harder to going smarter. This is the gym we always wanted to belong to—where effort is celebrated, growth is shared, and the spark to keep going never burns out.
our story
Jackie grew up in the gym. A former competitive gymnast turned elite-level CrossFit athlete, she’s competed at Wodapalooza, the Dubai Fitness Championship, the Granite Games, and Grid League. But her proudest moments have come not from the podium, but from helping others find their own strength.
Anthony is a five-time CrossFit Regionals athlete who went on to qualify for the CrossFit Games. He’s programmed and coached across the East Coast—from New York to South Carolina—and built a reputation for being both relentlessly technical and quietly supportive.
Together, we’ve coached hundreds of athletes and non-athletes alike. We’ve learned how to create spaces where people feel seen, challenged, and genuinely supported. Revival is our way of paying that forward.
our philosophy
At Revival, coaching is more than cueing form or calling out reps.
It’s knowing your name, your story, and how you move.
It’s building trust—so we can push you when you need it, and pull you back when you don’t.
We believe in:
Training smart. Every movement and every cycle has intention.
Personal connection. You’ll get real coaching, not just cheerleading.
Progress that lasts. We’re not here to break you down—we’re here to build you up.
Whether you’re an athlete, a beginner, or somewhere in between, we’ll meet you where you are—and help you go further than you thought possible.
Meet the team.

More than a gym
We believe a gym should do more than hold equipment—it should hold space. A space to show up. To connect. To move. To push.
This is a place built for how we train—and how we grow. Whether you’re lifting, running, or recovering, the space works with you and the energy invites you in.
Stronger together
“Jackie and Anthony are some of the best people around. They are amazing at programming tough workouts that are fun. They bring such positive and encouraging energy to each and every person they come in contact with. They have a special talent for cultivating a community that I couldn’t imagine my life without.”
— Patricia
“I couldn’t be happier! RFC is a great blend of strength training and high intensity workouts. Anthony, Jackie, and RJ are very knowledgeable, and encouraging and each add something different to each class. The workouts can be altered to your skill level and experience. I love this gym, the coaches, and the programming! 10/10”
— April
“Anthony and Jackie are awesome, whether it’s your first day in the gym or 10th year you are going to be treated like family. Programming here is top notch, super effective, but doesn’t leave you beat down like most traditional programming. Revival is the best gym in Charleston.”
— Trevor
Workouts that push. People who show up. Energy you can feel.
