do not go here!! if you start a subscription they will not stop charging you!! they are shady and they clearly never use the money they STEAL from you to make the gym better. it smells bad, (worse than most gyms even gritty ones) has broken equipment all over, and everything is filthy (moldy). DO NOT GO HERE!! I have never had such a negative experience with a gym

Great gym centrally located in Columbus, makes it super easy to get a workout in midday when I'm working in downtown area! Very friendly and courteous staff, and everything is kept very nice and clean! It's locally owned so love supporting local and small business, and although not everything is perfect i can see they are working on fixing and upgrading a lot of the facilities and equipment ! Would definitely recommend to anyone not wanting an overcrowded and corporate style gym to go to, where you don't have to wait on machines and equipment ! Always had a great experience , thank you!!

I’ve worked out at many gyms in Columbus (LA fitness ,snap, ymca etc ) but this has got to be at the top of my list. Everyone that works out here is very courteous to each-other and doesn’t make you feel rushed to get off a machine. I’m really liking all the renovations they have done/are doing to the building and will recommend to anyone that ask !!

I used to love this gym but more and more lately the upkeep has been severely lacking to the point where there's equipment that hasn't been maintained for months when it's clearly extremely damaged like a bench press with foam carved out of it from use. The duct tape used to patch it has even been worn out.Not to mention no one reracks their weights at all here, which is a community thing mostly but you'd think the staff would do a once over every now and then so that people aren't forced to dig through a rack of 45s to get to a 10 or a 25 on the squat racks.On top of that there's not enough handles to go around on the cable machines either or one stack is missing a pin that can't be found anywhere so I need to go on a scavenger hunt for an attachment just to do my lifts.If this wasn't the only relatively well equipped and accessible bodybuilding-style gym downtown, I'd have gone elsewhere and it really pains me to see that it's been allowed to get this bad the past couple years :/

Definitely best gym, not only from Columbus downtown but from all Ohio. If you wanna work out around pro's, this is your place. Top notch, great people and being a member, you always have your spot ready for the Arnold's show that they do every year and pros from around the world meet there, thats why my 5 stars! ?

This is a good gym. Good vibe and has everything you need for your workout. That being said, they are shady or bad with cancellations. It is difficult to cancel your membership since it has to be in person. They also require a 30 day notice, so you’ll be charged at least once after you cancel. For me I have been charged for the past 4 months after cancellation. I hope this is negligence, but I suspect it being shady since the other policies about cancellation make it difficult.

This gym is just absolutely wonderful! A very judge free zone, everybody friendly, respectful and minding their business. The fact that they are a 24hr makes them 10x better. They have so many different machines and equipment. My personal favorite is the dungeon downstairs its truly good crazy feeling in there when your deep into your workout with all those famous signatures around you.I used to go to Esporta and Planet fitness gyms and switched because of the huge crowds, but here, even at 5 pm the busiest time, there are still plenty of free machines.The staff are really nice and helpful. Definetely worth the price!So glad to be a member!

Been going here for about a year now and I absolutely love it. It is an old school grungy gym so I wouldn't expect shiny new equipment. Everyone that comes here is there to better themselves and it is a totally judgement free zone. I enjoy being apart of this community. The only reason I gave 4 stars is because I think that the cleanliness in the locker rooms and the bathrooms could use some work but that's an easy fix. All in all though I much prefer this gym than waiting behind 20 ppl for a machine at Esporta or another commercial gym.

Parking: You will need to download the city parking app to your cell phone and pay daily for a parking spot. Front Desk Staff: Every time I walked in, never once did the staff say hello or check if I was a member, I just walked right past them. They're careless and impersonal. Locker Rooms: The walk to the locker rooms was the worse part of this gym. You have to go down into the scary maze of a basement to find the locker rooms. The basement has many closed doors and dark hallways, easy to get lost. Very UNSAFE for WOMEN and small men. My wife went downstairs to the locker room alone and saw a guy just sitting in a chair in one of the hallways who whistled at her as she had to walk past him to get to the women's locker room. I went down because she was too scared to leave the restroom and walk back upstairs alone. I saw him too, he gave me the stink eye. Gives you the feeling you're about to get mugged. Weight room: Dirty, it was giving mrsa vibes. Old machines, homemade looking dumbbells, and not enough equipment. I left this gym very upset, because every workout is very important when you're a competitor, and I had the worst workout of my life here. It was clear when we left that the name of this gym is deceiving, this is NOT where the Pro's train in Ohio.

Update your website to state you have no one running the gym until 5:30pm. Says office hours until 5pm. Wanted to give this gym a second chance after visiting 4-5 years ago when it was still Powerhouse. Was an ok gym then. This time I’m out my time and money for parking.

Scam company. Horrible service never go here. They offered tickets titled “Arnold” that were secretly just to access their gym during the Arnold. I was unknowingly signed up for a membership and charged $30 twice a month for 4 months. They refused to cancel my membership over the phone or issue a refund. Their business model is to trick people and steal their money. What horrendous people who own this place.

Good selection of machines. A little gritty and could use some signs to help you find your way around. Restroom and locker room are in the basement. But the desk attendant was super friendly and helpful.
