The best gym in all of Cincinnati. It's tucked away for good reason. All the equipment is top notch and Mark (the owner) offers a variety of programs customized for where you're at and where you want to go.

Mark is not only super knowledgeable but he’s also very patient and understanding which makes the gym environment incredibly welcoming. Plus his jokes are 10/10!

I've been training with Mark since March, and as a former attendee of manyyy different chain gyms, I was really not expecting to enjoy myself as much as I do.

Mark is an excellent trainer - he takes time to make sure you understand the how to properly perform each exercise, and checks in throughout your workout to give you feedback and offer suggestions. I'm in my second 12-week training cycle, and I not only feel stronger and more confident than I did when I first started, but I have fun working out now.

There is also a really great community here - and as a woman I can say I've never felt unsafe or unwelcome, which has not always been the case at other gyms I've attended!

Mark and Hero Gym are as good as it gets. I don't have much experience in gyms (despite my amazing physical prowess) and Mark made me feel right at ease, giving strong support but also pushing me to go as hard as possible. I saw immediate gains from my time in the gym and look forward to being part of the Hero Gym family or a long time to come.

I had been looking for a place like Hero Gym for awhile, it is everything and more. Although I came with some previous experience, I was nervous trying a new place, with new people and new programming. That feeling quickly disappeared. Mark is fantastic and incredibly knowledgeable. I’ve learned new movements and have been improving old ones, with better cues and better technique. Everyone is friendly—obviously there to work, but happy to chime in on conversations about a movie or offer a smile. There is also the occasional dog, which is a total plus. Highly recommend.

This is a very friendly gym to weight lifting newbies like me. I have always been intimidated with the machine and heavy weights, and Mark has been very helpful to help me understand the proper forms and how to track progress. Everyone I met is super nice, and I can bring my doggo here when it is not too crowed!

Fantastic place if fitness is your goal. Top of the line equipment, top of the line people. Mark is the best at his job. You need to know what does what, how to do it properly then this is where you need to be. You don't go here to walk around in a circle or on a treadmill going nowhere. You go there if you want to better your health. Hands down best in the city!

I started working with Mark three months ago and I’m all in and can wait to see where this journey takes me. He is very knowledgeable and explains thoroughly what it takes to improve your health and get fit. Most coaches would just take your money and not care about your goals. Not Mark! He cares about your success and wants to see you meet your fitness goal.

I was recommended to Hero Gym by a friend, and I don’t have any regrets. I was looking for a place with accurate biomechanics and that understood different builds to lift weights safely. Mark built a program around what I needed to improve my rock climbing, he taught me how to do squats correctly based on how my hips were, and overall I feel like I’ve gained more knowledge than I would a lot of other places. Clean gym, comfortable atmosphere, low stress.

Never met a business owner that cares so deeply about his clients. Mark is great on working with you on your goals regardless of your current physical condition. Would highly recommend Hero Gym over the traditional big box gym for the personal attention you get. The people who go here are also awesome! It's a great little community.

Hero Gym is a place for people of all fitness levels to come together and achieve goals that, at one point in life, maybe seemed unachievable. I personally have never felt more supported, pushed, and challenged. The owner has a way of pushing his clients to new levels with confidence while supporting them along their fitness journey.

As someone with a fitness background, that has also been a plus size fitness instructor, I have reached new strength training goals and am able to do things I never thought I could.

I’m so thankful for Hero and the new connections, goals, and life changing experience I have had.

Place is great. Been especially pandemic friendly as there is a lot of space and not a lot of people depending on when you choose to workout.

Mark is kind, inclusive, and attentive to your needs as a member. The price is steep and the space isn't very cardio focused, but it's been a worthwhile experience for me.

Mark is a knowledgeable and skilled trainer. He takes the time to develop in-depth training and nutrition programs for his members. He also is always available to answer questions related to programs, diet, and different movements. I can’t say enough about how much we love Hero Gym! It’s a fun and accepting environment where you are pushed to take your fitness to the next level!

Hero gym is more than just a place to workout. its a community based gym with programs to suit anyone’s goals. If you need a place to start then what better way than to gain perspective and knowledge from programs built specifically to teach you the basics and to build off of. The gym owner Mark has a vast knowledge of proper form, equipment use, nutrition and goal setting. If your close to Northside in Cincinnati then you should definitely come check it out.

Mark is the best trainer and most knowledgeable trainer I’ve ever worked with in over 20 years. The workouts are tailored to your needs and help meet your goals. Mark is personable and extremely motivating! I’m never bored in his classes and his nutrition education is the best! The people I do classes with have become family, including Mark. I was hesitant at first a few years ago because I’d let myself get out of shape and felt embarrassed to workout with others. All shapes and sizes are welcomed, no judgement! I love Hero Gym and the results are amazing!

I always thought weight lifting wasn't for me because I didn't want to look like a body-builder with huge muscles. My large calves already can't fit into most designer boots. But since joining Hero Gym, I've changed my mind! It's an investment of your time and money, but it is worth it. The gym provided a good community of people and thus new friends, and it showed me what I'm capable of and gave me confidence! Hero Gym also gave me a sense of purpose during the pandemic and helped not only my physical, but mental health during this chaotic time. My attitude towards weight lifting has changed because of Hero Gym. Thank you!

I started early summer after my college semester ended. At first I wasn’t sure of what to expect but I couldn’t have been happier with the instruction I received and the awesome help the trainer provided. If you’re looking to lose weight and learn a lot about nutrition and loving a healthy life style I couldn’t recommend hero gym more. From a personalized workout plan to giving me new macros every week, the trainer really does put in effort and time to help you get better. If you are looking to just workout without all of the bells and whistles he has a great gym with enough weights to train a sports team.

The group training classes are great for people at all fitness levels. The coaches will offer scaled version of exercises if needed.
The group exercises are fun, especially when there are partner workouts.
There are options for additional support/ help with diet if you are interested.
I did a 6-week nutrition challenge that was actually very informative on how to simplify healthy eating.

I’ve been a member of Hero Gym for 2 years now. The people, the programs and the communal environment have had a significant impact on my health and subsequently the rest of my life. I’ve gotten stronger after having back surgery, and lost over a 100lbs. Mark and his staff have cultivated a supportive atmosphere among gym members and provided knowledge and tools to help me tackle nutrition, fitness and stress. I definitely recommend reaching out to Mark via the gym FB page, emailing, calling or messaging him to learn more.

I’ve been going to this gym for 7 months and love it. It was hard for me to find a way to get fit that offered instruction, accountability, support and actual solutions but this gym provides all that in a welcoming, all inclusive environment. It’s hard work but it’s also fun. I used to be very intimidated by the open floor format gym but there are people here that are in every stage of their fitness journey and we can all work out together! I really like Hero Gym and encourage anyone to come check it out for themselves!
