My name is Jermain Singleton and i am the sole owner of Gravity Fitness Charleston and teach all the classes there. The business opened in October 2022 and the model is a niche studio where the basics like personal training and yoga classes are offered with other beginners classes like middle splits and handstands or rehab classes shoulder and knee prehab. ALL classes are beginner friendly.
I was born in Mt pleasant and still reside in Charleston SC. I went to Mt Pleasant Academy, Moultrie, Wando and got my bachelors degree in information technology. At the time period opportunities were slim and decided to go into business. I am ACE certified as a personal trainer and have my 200RYT for yoga teaching.
My adult fitness journey started with bodybuilding. I did a few teenage bodybuilding NPC and junior events, powerlifting next and dabbled on and off with karate type classes. I left out salsa dancing, it is fitness.
I have been doing yoga classes for over 10 years now and it started my journey. I have taken every type of style there is and been to every studio or popular teacher in town classes in the past. I learned about acroyoga from a workshop. I trained acroyoga for a while now, have traveled around to lots of acro conventions and performed a few times. From doing this I engaged more in a flexibility and handstand journey which i am still on. Learning, doing and teaching along the way. Training flexibility especially is the most enjoyable hobby i ever had with seeing me go from super stiff to what i am now. Always interested to talk about and train flexibility, i feel there is so much more to know.
If you're into yoga, flexibility, handstands, acro or anything that increases functionality in the body, join me at Gravity.
