For founder Sarah Frick, The Works was never just about movement—it was about creating a place for connection, compassion and a business model built on community. In the years following COVID-19, The Works became a refuge, offering a place to breathe and reconnect. Today, with six locations across Charleston and a devoted following, the studios have evolved into “third places”—not home or work, but spaces where women can show up, support each other and grow. Walk into a class, and the energy is unmistakable. People of all ages arrive not to compete but to become better together. The message on the wall says it clearly: get in the room. With a reputation built on high-energy, music-driven classes blending Vinyasa yoga, cardio, sculpt, plyometrics and meditation, The Works remains as intentional as its offerings. Frick and partner Carter Foxworth continuously expand the brand’s philosophy to support the growth of their clientele. Now, with the addition of The Works Renew in West Ashley, they’re offering more programming aimed toward restoration, mindfulness and longevity. Nonheated classes emphasize nervous system
