Our Story

Knight Fitness was founded by Matt Knight, who began his journey in the fitness industry while studying at the University of South Carolina. His passion for fitness quickly propelled him into a managerial role at a respected boutique gym, where he set a regional record by securing 53 new memberships in just one month.

After graduating, Matt advanced into a regional manager role, overseeing multiple group fitness studios. In 2022, he returned to his hometown of Charleston, where he shifted his focus to 1 on 1 personal training. 

As Matt explored Charleston, he observed a growing number of luxury apartment complexes with state-of-the-art fitness centers, yet many lacked personal training services for residents. Inspired by this gap, he said to himself, “What if I could offer 30-minute personal training sessions to residents right where they live? It would provide unmatched convenience.”

At Knight Fitness, we understand that time is valuable. A one-hour lunch break can easily be consumed by a 10-15 minute commute to the gym. By removing this barrier, we’re able to hire top-tier trainers and offer affordable, effective fitness solutions that seamlessly fit into our clients’ lives. Our mission is to make fitness accessible and enjoyable, empowering residents to pursue their fitness journeys without compromising their time or lifestyle.
