MORE THAN A GYM
A gym is not just somewhere to go to improve your body, it is an environment for true personal growth. Sparked Society is much more than a gym, emphasizing both the physical and the mental aspects of individual progression.

Absolutely love this gym — hands down my favorite place to train in Central Ohio. The community is awesome, the equipment is top-tier (and constantly expanding), lots of cool apparel drops. The owner truly cares about the members and goes above and beyond. The 24/7 key fob access is a huge bonus as well!

I joined this gym because I have recently moved to the area- and I am so glad I did! I tried other gyms in the area but nothing beats this space or equipment. Theyre getting new EQ and machines often too. Love the 24/7 fob access. I also really really appreciate how clean this gym is all the time. You can even see the owner vacuuming between his sets, the attention to detail does not go unnoticed.

This is the best gym I’ve gone to and probably will go to. I was just here for a few months and Aaron (the owner) made the short term membership and eventually cancellation super easy and reasonably priced. Everyone is super dedicated and supportive and Aaron is always there to help his workers and make sure things run smoothly which speaks volumes about the space he created.

I passionately recommend this gym, for one reason more than any other. It is owned by one man, Aaron Thompson, who has a strict belief in doing what is best for his members. I have never once had any trouble pausing my membership: no BS with paperwork or anything like that. During Arnold Weekend, he prioritized us by using all day pass money on new equipment. He recently opened up a large new section of the gym, and did not plague current members with some grand event: even though I would not blame him for doing so. He simply unveiled it on a random night, allowing us to come see it during our normal work out days. The owner always puts money back into the business. I wholeheartedly know that he, as a principle, cares about his gym and the community within.

Been going here for more than 2 years now. Right off the gate it has an amazing selection of machines, free weights, squat racks and deadlift platform. The owner Aaron is always working to upgrade this place so it’s very nice to see. I also love the community and the vibes here. People with different backgrounds and training goals are all welcome

The only gym I will go to in Columbus. Aaron (The owner) is a great guy, always has the gym looking extremely clean and well organized. Top notch equipment for top notch performers. The equipment along with the entire stretching and posing room always makes for insane workouts. I also really enjoy the fact that the gym is kept a bit warmer, helps me get way better pumps and I can actually get a really good sweat in. Not to mention the atmosphere is pretty cool, lots of friendly gym members. Nothing but good vibes!

I have been coming to Sparked now for over a year and I've loved the environment and everyone that I have met. The gym has all of the equipment that you would need between the machines, free weights, and things like wrist straps/bar pads/bands/chains/etc. Its also 24/7 access which is great if you have a full schedule. If you are looking for a gym, I definitely recommend Sparked

My husband and I were members of Sparked Society Gym for about seven months, and overall, it was a decent experience.
Pros:
The gym has a solid selection of machines, which is pretty impressive given the small space. It has personality, it dn’t feel like just another generic gym. The owner seems invested in upgrading the equipment. The posing room is a nice feature, the cancellation policy is simple, and their merch is actually really nice. Also, it’s open 24/7, which is super convenient, the temperature was always perfect, And I loved the girls' locker room It was one of my favorite things about the gym.
Cons:
The gym is tiny, so when it gets crowded, it can feel overwhelming fast. The machines are packed close together, so if you have social anxiety, this setup probably isn’t ideal. The stretching area didn’t work for me at all, the padding felt off, so I always had to find another spot, usually in the way of someone else. If mobility work and stretching are important to you, this gym probably won’t be your best bet.
Also, this place is definitely a social media gym. People love recording themselves here, tripods everywhere, even ridiculously early in the morning. I’d show up at 5 AM and still see people filming, sometimes right in the middle of walkways or on machines I was planning to use. I usually kept my earbuds in and stayed focused, but it was impossible not to notice.
Then there are the regulars some of them act like they own the place, leaving gallon jugs, laptops, bags and phones everywhere. One time, I even saw a Bible just sitting in the middle of the gym, which definitely threw me off. And honestly, the drama got old. People talked behind each other's backs way more than you'd expect in a gym. At first, I ignored it, but after dealing with it personally, I realized how toxic the environment could be. Just a heads-up, my review is based on my experience between 5 AM to 7 PM—I can’t speak for what it’s like at other hours.
Why I left:
This is where things fell apart. A guy made some nasty, disrespectful comments about me, which led to a confrontation with my husband. The owner was informed about it, but he didn’t seem to care at all. After that, I knew I was done no way I was ever stepping foot in that gym again.

Went here for about 9 months and enjoyed it for the most part but I had some issues. It's pretty much always 75+ degrees in there so you will be sweating profusely even if you don't want to. They also blast their music so loud that you can usually still hear it through your earbuds at max volume. There also arent any showers or proper changing rooms, just a bathroom with nowhere to put your clothes/items except on the floor. Maybe these things won't annoy other people but I still thought they were worth pointing out. Other than that the gym has a great selection of machines and free weights and pretty much everyone I met there was chill.

Cool gym, great variety of equipment and they keep it pretty clean. Love that it's open 24/7 with the key card access!
The only thing that might keep me from continuing to go here is the temperature. It is so hot and stuffy except for the bathroom and stretching area, makes it hard to get through a work out sometimes.

Great gym! I worked out here twice while visiting Columbus, and the vibe was similar to my favorite gym back home. There’s solid energy, and it’s the kind of place where you can really push yourself and give every set your all. The owner seems very involved and genuinely cares about the gym and its members. If I lived in Columbus, this would be my go-to gym!

Sparked Society Gym is one of the finest gyms in all of Ohio. From the beginning the staff was super helpful and friendly. The atmosphere is that of an old school lifting gym except everyone there is willing to help you learn. I enjoyed my time there thoroughly and would suggest this gym to anyone who wants to take the next step in their fitness journey. Wayyy better than that purple place!

By far the best gym I've tried in Columbus. I've been at Sparked for over a year now and I absolutely love the space, people, equipment, and environment. The owner always makes it a priority to keep improving and growing the gym!

Mix of old school + new school equipment & environment. Chalk stays well stocked. Owner works hard to keep the place clean; he's super cool too: I saw him out at a bar once and mentioned I'm moving away—he pulled out his phone and offered to cancel my membership on the spot! He's a younger guy and reinvests the merch sales back into the gym. Open 24/7/365 too.

Sparked Society is hands down the best gym in Columbus. I have been coming here for a little over a year now and it is constantly improving and the community is phenomenal. Everyone is just trying to support each other regardless of goals and not to mention the constant merch is always good quality and looks great in or out of the gym.

Cons: the majority of equipment is in need of being deep cleaned (thick black crust that is sticky to the touch 😫) the music hits 75 decibels (the volume of a club on a saturday), and there is a severe lack of ventilation with fresh air (the a/c is recirculating the air and doesn't have an exchange) so the environment gets hot and thick when the gym has a handful of people in it.
Pros: good equipment selection, 24hour access, judgement free iron temple to hone your body and mind.

This gym is great! The energy and atmosphere is great! Everyone's friendly! Pending on the day/time, there could be little to no one there. For those who like to box, there's a heavy bag right next to the locker room. Other than that, the demographic at the gym is mainly 20sto 30 years old (mainly college students though).

I came to Sparked Society from NYC after moving to Ohio for a Physical Therapy clinical rotation. It has been nothing short of amazing and inspiring. I love the culture and feel heard/seen as a women who weightlifts. The fact that we get our own locker room along with motivating and uplifting quotes makes me ready and excited to lift. The gym is kept clean, organized, and has equipment/machines that targets everything you need. Any questions I have are answered immediately. I am so excited to see the expansion and recognition of the community that the owner has cultivated.

Sparked Society is an excellent gym. Aaron is a really great owner that really took all the things I felt I had subtly thought to myself ‘I wish my gym had ____” and did that. Haven’t had to wait on a machine much at all, more than enough dumbbells and barbells. The rules are all geared around using common sense and being respectful. A great added bonus has to be phone tripods, for those who wanna post to socials and the iPad that’s free for anyone to queue music to the aux. Excellent gym, culture is amazing too, everyone’s friendly!

This gym is personally my favorite gym I’ve been to. I’m constantly surrounded by individuals who are better than me, and it motivates me. The gym itself has a unique feel to it. Aaron (Owner) is very cool and talks to everyone there. All the gym equipment is super nice and upgraded. I know he’s thinking about adding a sauna and I think that’s a great idea. Other that that I don’t think there’s much he could add.

Easily the best gym in and around Columbus. You feel welcomed from the second you step in. The setup, the equipment, the people, everything makes this gym the perfect spot to be for a good workout. Locally owned too so that’s always a huge plus!
