Ever since joining the junkyard I look forward to working out! Everyone there is so kind, welcoming, and encouraging. My fiancé and I have taken classes with multiple instructors and they are all fantastic! So happy to have found this gym. If you’re thinking about joining but are nervous about it, just do it. There’s no judgment, just encouragement. Thanks junkyard team!

The Junkyard isn’t just a gym — it’s become a a lot more for me. From day one, I felt welcomed and supported, no matter where I was in my fitness journey. The energy here is unreal. The motivation, the camaraderie, the community — it’s all so real and so powerful. Every workout pushes me not just physically, but mentally too. It’s the kind of place where people cheer you on, lift you up, and help you grow in every way. Whether it’s your first time walking in or your 100th, you’re treated like part of the family. I’m so grateful to be a part of this place.

The Junkyard is owned by Marcus Brown and Ben Boulward. The name originated from Ben’s college football nickname. After college they wanted to create a space to be seen and heard without the judgment, allowing for a therapeutic fitness experience. Let that rage out! The dark aesthetic and no mirrors was intentional, so no influencer mirror selfies in this place, not that you would even have time! They created Junkyard to give everyone that sense of community/comradery and accountability that they had through team sports. Giving everyone a feeling of togetherness through fitness. Taking pride in greeting everyone by name and getting to know everyone’s specific training style. They WILL push you past your comfort zone with tough love, so embrace the uncomfortable and prepare for growth, mental and physical. The Junkyard hosts community outings, kickball and even mud run events for its members. While also supporting the community as a whole working with Habitat for Humanity, Rebuild Upstate, Clothes Drives, and Food Drives. This is an all ages gym with members ranging from 16 to 60+ participating in their Cross Training and Endurance Cardio classes. The Junkyard has 4 locations: Greenville, Anderson, Clemson and their newest location at Bridgeway Station in Mauldin
