Construction crews broke ground on a new Mount Pleasant gym, featuring a full range of amenities, including a cafe.
Ethos Athletic Club, founded by coach and personal trainer Joseph Welling, plans a two-story, 20,000-square-foot workout hub at 1620 Midtown Ave., The Post and Courier reported.
This will be Ethos’ second Charleston-area location, joining the original gym at 311 Huger St. Welling told the outlet current members will receive a discount to access both locations.
Habital Form is designing the gym, according to Hospitality Building Services.
The project will transform a 1.06-acre site into a premier fitness facility, featuring an open gym, weight-training room and studios for yoga, Pilates and high-intensity classes. Amenities will include a rooftop fitness center, sauna and steam rooms, co-working spaces, childcare and a cafe.
At the original facility, JustFit Kitchen Cafe offers a full-service coffee bar and serves smoothies, protein balls, toasts and grab-and-go fridge items.
Ethos Athletic Club is scheduled to open in late 2026. For updates, visit the gym’s website and follow along on Facebook and Instagram.
