ABOUT US

GETTING STARTED

At Rhapsody Fitness in Charleston, we are raising the bar on health and fitness. We accomplish this through our exemplary member experience, strong community, elite coaching and top-of-the-line facility.

Your Experience

At Rhapsody Fitness, you are far more to us than a number. Our responsibility is to get to know you as an individual and help you achieve your health and fitness goals. As one-size-fits-all fitness fits no one, you will enjoy one-on-one mentorship during your first month with us to craft a unique workout, nutrition and wellness plan just for you. After your first month, we will do quarterly, personalized check-ins to make sure you feel confident in your course and are on the road to long term success.

Love it or hate it, there is no way for you to hide in a crowd at Rhapsody as we are committed to holding you accountable, challenging you and, most importantly, encouraging you from day one.

RHAPSODY BRAIN TRUST

Mind-meld of health, nutrition and wellness experts hand-selected to help you become your best inside and outside the gym.

Cody Gunselman
Rhapsody Fitness Physical Therapist

Hailing from Cleveland, Cody Gunselman grew up immersed in sports with a special love for baseball and basketball. His affinity for athletics sparked an interest in healthcare and medicine, which would ultimately fuel his pursuit of a career in physical therapy.

Armed with a Bachelors of Science from Kent State, Cody went on to secure his Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Cleveland State University in 2017 and Board Specialty in Orthopedics by 2022.

After touring the country as a traveling PT, Cody made his way to Charleston and subsequently Rhapsody Fitness. Drawn to the community and atmosphere, he felt right at home among our misfits and mavens challenging themselves, supporting each other and, above all, working towards the best version of themselves.

For each Rhapsody member, Cody offers both honest and transparent information coupled with an empathetic approach to musculoskeletal health. Focused on long-term, logical solutions versus quick, expensive treatments or surgeries, he is here to support you through injury recovery and empower you with proactive prevention.

Fearless in the face of conventional wisdom, Cody intends to raise the bar on orthopedic and musculoskeletal healthcare. Success for him lies in helping others recover from injuries, keep their bodies strong, and foster the longevity to continue doing what they love most.

When he isn’t serving as our resident speed demon, you may find Cody blazing trails, sampling a new bourbon, catching (most any) game, or enjoying our Lowcountry beaches.
Credentials Include:

  • Board-Certified Clinical Specialist in Orthopedic Physical Therapy, 2022
  • Doctorate of Physical Therapy – Cleveland State University, 2017
  • Bachelors of Science – Kent State University, 2013

DIVERSITY, EQUITY + INCLUSION

Rhapsody Fitness is a community for everyone. Focused on character first, we create a safe space to become the best version of yourself.
We welcome members across all ages, races, colors, classes, genders, sexual orientations, ethnic or national origins, religions, political perspectives, (dis)abilities and appearances.
Our only criteria is that you accept feedback with humility, are hungry to improve and actively seek happiness.
Beyond our four walls, we support populations that have been, and remain, underrepresented among practitioners in the field and marginalized in broader society. We act on these intrinsic beliefs through our Sweat + Serve community service program and the Rhapsody United In Strength Scholarship Program.
At Rhapsody, we believe that, strong on our own – we are a force combined.
Constantly growing and learning ourselves, we invite insight and feedback on our mission to create a community for everyone. Please contact us at [email protected].
