Ignite your inner warrior with Kickboxing, Strength and Stability.
Our unique classes broadcast customized music that propels from the speakers to your body. Dynamic light effects in the blacked-out studio illuminate the workout floor, making you feel like sweating in the studio is just as fun as sweating in the dance club.
Shedding cals and toning shouldn’t be a chore, and we’re committed to ensuring it isn’t.
For half the workout, you’ll face your own kickboxing bag, throwing punches and kicks. The other half of the workout you’ll drop your gloves and unleash your strength and stability with free weights and a strong bench.
Personal Training

Our coaches develop specialized programs dedicated to YOU and on your schedule. No cookie-cutter programming.

Kickboxing
This 45-minute workout packs a mean punch. Burning 500-1000 calories per class, you’re eye-to-eye with your own heavy bag [your opponent]. Zone in, feel the music bump, and destress. The dynamic combination of punches, kicks, and bodyweight movements around your bag will burn calories for up to 48 after you leave. AKA – your body is shedding calories for a full day.
This epic workout burns cals, builds muscle, and boosts confidence. You’ll strut out of the gym like the badass we know you are.

Rock Steady Boxing
Founded in 2005, RSB is the first boxing program of its kind. These classes have proven that anyone, at any level of Parkinson's, can lessen their symptoms and lead a healthier and happier life while slowing the progression of the disease.
GRIT BOX is a proud affiliate of RSB. A percentage of every membership is donated to support our RSB program.
*Visionary *DJ Dada Embraces the work hard, play hard mentality
The brains and the brawn behind it all. Cody’s dream of launching the most energized, hyped, and badass kickboxing studio in the Lowcountry came to life in 2015.
He built not just a gym, but a tribe of people who crush goals, push one another beyond comfort, and get each other to FAF status (Fit as F**k).
If you were to dive into Cody’s head, you’d encounter a web of ideas and visions for the next facet of GRIT BOX. An entrepreneur at heart, Cody is the owner of three additional Charleston businesses: Saltwater Cycle, Chucktown Brew Tours, and Cooper’s Cove. He also sits on the Board of Directors for Charleston Hope and believes in giving back to the Charleston Community.
When he’s not at the gym, you can find Cody hanging with his wife Cici, their son Colton, and their sweet pup Riggs.
Dani Monroe
Studio Manager and Head Coach
*The one with jacked arms *Energizer Bunny Status *Has a love affair with Nachos and the Carolina Panthers
When the music pumps and the punches start flying, Coach Dani is in her element. She believes in empowering people to find their inner GRIT – whether that’s during a workout or in their everyday life.
If we could use one word to describe Dani’s coaching style, it’d be “hype.” Don’t expect to walk out of her class without dripping in sweat, but simultaneously feeling energized.
Not only does she love building muscle, but she loves building relationships with the GRIT BOX members. You’ll often find yourself in conversation about the Carolina Panthers, New Girl, or mint chocolate chip ice cream.
Originally from Charleston, but raised in the Queen City of Charlotte, this southern belle packs a mean jab/cross and loves teaching people to channel their own.
Tori Smith
Executive Assistant + Graphic Designer
*Will win 99% of lip sync battles *Sneaks Riggs treats every day *Lizzo is her spirit animal
When Tori was younger she was a competitive hip-hop dancer, which is probably why she knows all of the lyrics to early 2000’s hip-hop songs. When she’s not dropping the beats to Jay-Z, Nelly, and Lil Wayne, you’ll find Tori designing. She knows how to make things POP – and not just pop, lock and drop it (although she can do that, too). Tori is our resident graphic designer, digital marketer, and jack of all trades.
With an eye for fashion and impressive organization skills, Tori helps keep GRIT BOX and our members looking fly – whether that’s our brand, retail, or art work.
