Discounts for EDC Parents, Seniors (60+) and
American Fitness members!

We've changed our name to
American Fitness! 

You may have noticed that we have changed our name to American Fitness!

Due to some conflicts with a national health club chain, it has been necessary for us to change our business name.  As a result, you'll notice gradual, upcoming  changes to signage, our website and Facebook page.

What won't change is our commitment to our members, to provide you with exemplary service, modern facilities and competitive prices.

Still 24/7 access, with no long-term commitments and 3 convenient club locations. 


Cardio Theater
Tired of the same old movies in our rotation?  Don't complain about it! 

We invite you to bring in any movies you'd like us to show in our Cardio Theater (Murrells Inlet). This will help us increase our rotation of movies and entertain you and our members better. 


We'll show our appreciation by giving you an American Fitness gift card!

Call Ward, our Manager, for more details!
