THE DISCOVERY STORY
Discovery Health and Fitness is committed to making Daniel Island the Fittest, Happiest Town in America. Founded by Owner and Head Coach, Robert VanNewkirk, in 2009, Discovery is a refuge from impersonal, ineffective, negative, and boring gym environments. Robert and his wife, Angel, moved to Daniel Island from Los Angeles to raise their daughters here. Robert’s passion for helping people made opening the gym a logical step after decades of teaching, coaching, and athletics in California.
We built our gym so people on DI could have a gathering place a short walk, bike, or golf cart ride away from their homes and offices. A place where they can get together with like-minded folks seeking a healthy lifestyle. We are family-friendly and inclusive to EVERYONE. Angel’s award winning Dance Academy, Peace Love Hip Hop, occupies the other half of our building.
Our team of the best Fitness and Mindset Coaches in the Lowcountry is ready to serve you.. Getting in Shape can be hard. But Staying in Shape while Feeling Good for the long term is the real challenge. We make it SIMPLE for you.
SHOW UP. WORK HARD. HAVE FUN. FEEL AMAZING.
Discovery Health and Fitness is the only 13+ Year CrossFit Affiliate in the Charleston area, and the only Weck Method Qualified Gym in South Carolina.
At Discovery Health & Fitness, YOU are the HERO of your own story. Our coaches are the Sherpas, the Jedi Masters and Fairy Godmothers that help you along your journey. Your goals are OUR goals.

USE Your Fitness
Our community likes to DO FUN STUFF. Because working so hard for fitness that is only expressed in the gym is, in our opinion, silly. We encourage our members to get out there and get after it.
Playing Sports, Coaching sports, Racing, Exploring, Working and just Living are all better, easier and more enjoyable when your body is well-prepared.
We also organize fun things for you to take on from time to time. See the list below for the latest.
