10 Star Cares

10 Star Fitness was founded in 1993 with one goal in mind: helping people live healthy lifestyles. Initially founded as Coop’s, a gym focused on results-based training, 10 Star Fitness transformed its model in 2016 to a high-value low-cost gym that is the perfect fit for everyone. Today, all upstate locations are devoted to the development of spirit, mind, and body through health-promoting activities for children and adults. And we offer all of that in a no-pressure atmosphere with exemplary service.

Michael: Born in 1970, Michael Cooper started exercising in High School. Which carried over to college at Winthrop University. His passion for weight training inspired him to open the first Coop’s location in Rock Hill, South Carolina in 1993. From there, Michael brought his gym to the upstate where he is from. In 2006 he connected with John DeFendis founder and creator of the Ultra Fit program and it has been a perfect fit.

Saturday Hours

Our owner, Michael Cooper, made the decision to not be staffed on Saturdays to honor the Sabbath, the seventh day of the week, according to the 4th commandment. From Friday at sunset to Saturday at sunset, we are not staffed. Having worked 7 days a week while open 24 hours, Michael saw the importance for him and his staff to set aside this day to rest and worship.
