I have been coming to SOS for a year now and have never felt more in shape! When I first started I didn’t know what I was doing but the instructors (s/o to Andrew, Hannah and Gretchen) helped me along the way. The community is also very supportive and friendly... I’ve made so many new friends. Every class is fun and energetic! You really can’t go wrong with any of the workouts or instructors!

My first Control (weight-training) class and it was w/Gracie B. Wonderful and exhilarating class. My first time attempting a pistol squat-lol, it was truly ugly. I was drenched in sweat by the middle of the class. I will definitely make Control a part of my weekly routine.

I can’t rave enough about systems of strength!! I’ve done many different gym memberships and this is by far my favorite. I love the diversity in the classes they offer - cardio, strength, mix of both, yoga, etc. No matter what I am looking for each week, they have it. My favorite class is the high and tight. When I tried navigating gyms on my own, I kept injuring my lower back. I’ve had no injuries since strengthening my core with regular high and tight classes. So appreciative of this!! Will recommend over and over again.

I came in for my first work out today. First room is dark and empty, there is a check in desk with nobody there. They use assigned stations, I walk into the second room as everyone settles in and look around trying to figure out my station, let me tell you it’s not very clear. Nobody comes to help. I also didn’t bring a mat, how I was supposed to know they don’t provide it? I just decided to leave… the whole vibe wasn’t friendly/welcoming for someone new.

I've never set foot in SOS but I started their digital studio during March of 2020 and haven't looked back. The best online content, levels, and coaches. I'm obsessed and recommend to anyone!

I’m in my 6th year of working out at SOS and I love it today just as much as I did when I started. The physical and mental challenges of pushing myself to my limits is what keeps me coming back. It never becomes “easy.” Part of the mental aspect is pushing through your workout despite 90 degree plus temperatures during the summer. If you can’t handle an hour long class without air conditioning and don’t like people sweating around you then you are probably better off joining Snap Fitness. SOS is a gym, not a country club.

SOS is a special place. People are there to make themselves better and that’s it. No one judges others, they are too concerned about themselves and their performance to worry about other people. No one cares what your fitness level is or if you have to modify moves. We all struggle and you will earn respect by just walking through the doors.

The staff here are extremely nice. I arrived late for my first class and the staff was friendly in welcoming me and helping me get set up. I have never had such a pleasant experience! As for the class itself, it was very challenging and rewarding. The coach motivated and pushed the class to give more effort and not give up. I would recommend this studio to anyone and I will definitely be back

I’m an out-of-towner and I use the SOS Digital Studio weekly. Whenever I’m in Cbus I make sure I schedule an SOS class to gain that hands on experience of in-the-class energy. This gym and philosophy is nothing that I’ve ever seen before. My body is stronger and has changed in the last 6 months alone. I highly recommend and promise you will see results!

This studio is a community where everyone belongs. Their classes range from cardio to stretch and recovery. It is designed as a SYSTEM and they encourage using the entire system to get the most out of your body. The classes challenge everyone right where they are but give you that mental push to get you where you want to go. Instructors provide levels in order to tailor each participant's workout. The environment is modern casual and absolutely fits the personality of the business. Hard work over a lot of fuss. It is the only workout location I attend because I can get everything I want.

SOS is not only a great workout routine and environment, but a supportive community of trainers and other work out enthusiasts! Whether you need a jumpstart or a way to maintain, I would recommend SOS to anyone looking for a challenge in their workout routine, wanting to see improvements, or just being able to reach their training goals.

I have never been able to get into this kind of shape before in my life. After attending SOS for 3-4 months consistently, I can say the system WORKs. There is a little something for everyone, me and my fiancé have joined and both have enjoyed classes like in the MIC and the course together. I break off for high and tight and Ebb and Flow which I feel like help me get those long lean muscles every girl wants. Try this gym, you won’t regret it.

After getting pregnant and having a kid I decided it was time to get back to SOS. Matt Wion made me feel like I hadn’t missed a day of classes. He was so encouraging and motivating that it made class so much easier for a new mom who has been out of commission. SOS has been and will always be the best work out in Columbus. I cannot wait for my next class!

I’ve been working out (torturing myself) at SOS on and off for the last 5 years and every single time I go I find myself challenged, breathless, exhausted, wondering why I do this to myself, and always, always wanting more. The instructors are always welcoming and will push you harder than you’d ever push yourself, while providing modifications for every level. Every workout will be different and methodically planned and I promise you’ll leave feeling like a badass. Five stars for turning this non-athlete into a workout junkie!!

Jane went above and beyond, I forgot my shoes and as luck would have it we wore same size, I was actually thinking this could be my out! Instead she got me shoes I stayed for the class, Jane’s in the mix class was amazing she is fun, energictic, offered modifications for all levels, class was challenging and a great full body workout infusing weights and cardio for a one stop shop. I will definitely go again.

I’ve been going to SOS for about 7 months now, a couple of times a week. The diversity of classes as well as instructors means you’re never getting the same workout twice, and never getting bored. Instead, you’re always getting your butt kicked and coming back for more. Classes aren’t just challenging for first timers, but for regulars as well, which builds a culture of people there to work hard, encourage each other and get better, stronger and faster! The classes aren’t for those looking for a casual workout, but if you’re wanting to truly improve your fitness (strength, cardio, flexibility), this is your home.

Best gym in Columbus! The instructors are so motivating and inspirational and I can’t think of another place I would rather be at 5:30 am. If you are thinking about taking a class, do it, you will be hooked for life! My favorite instructors include Matt, Darcey, Kim, Gretchen and Elle.....run, don’t walk to SOS....you won’t regret and if you do, go back, promise the hard work pays off!!!

I’ve been going here for 6+ years; The instructors are top notch, always challenging you to push yourself. They mix it up constantly, so I never get bored and am continually sore as they work different muscle groups. The “system” of different classes allows you to truly work every part of your body and get in the best shape. I highly recommend this place if you’re looking to be engaged in your workouts and want results!

I have been going here now for 5 months and it has been a complete life changer.

I tried a few gyms around town from CrossFit to Cycling wanting to find a gym where I felt comfortable and saw quick results.

I (like many others) got wrapped up in work and my social life - eating unhealthy and going out all the time. Felt horrible and gained close to 40lbs. I was so out of shape and felt ashamed and embarrassed about my weight gain.

I started at SOS and remember the first class I took was in the Mix. Thinking to myself, I’m about to puke there’s no way I can do this or get thru this class. I look around to see women (and men) of all sizes just giving it their all. It was motivation .. inspiration.

Now 5 months later - I go everyday (it’s a part of my day) and I’ve lost 30lbs and feel amazing! What this gym has done for me both mentally and physically for me was a life changer.. I’ve lost 30+lbs and feel goood. I feel confident ..

This is beyond just a gym, it’s a lifestyle ..

System of Strength is like no other. Cardio, strength classes, recovery and more-this gym has it all and the instructors to back it up. From the moment you walk in the door, you’re challenged for an entire 60 minutes. Challenged so hard you think you’ll never come back. Until you’re instantly booking your next class because you realize it’ll be damn hard to find another gym like SOS in Columbus.

I love the system. I was doing a different group fitness class that doesn’t even come close to the classes at SOS. The coaches/staff are awesome! I think anyone can come into SOS as a first timer no matter where you are on your fitness journey!!

BUT, I do wish there was one class on Friday evening that wasn’t clocked... ;)

I love SOS! They push you to your limits and keep you motivated the entire class. Everyone is there to better themselves and the atmosphere is always invigorating. The instructors are fantastic and I appreciate being able to modify as needed. I wish my schedule allowed me to take more classes but I enjoy everything I am able to take. I do wish that heated slo-flo was still on the schedule.

If there was a way to give 20 stars I would! SOS is the most incredible community I’ve ever been a part of. It’s not just about fitness to the SOS team, it’s about making sure you’re the best version of yourself when you walk out the doors and back into the world. The workouts are crazy challenging but in an amazing way, and instructors know exactly how to encourage you in the hard moments. If you haven’t been to a class, you’re missing out!

One way to describe SOS? Absolutely badass. The best part of this community is that everyone shows up at different levels and gets an equally good workout. I have been to many different studio type classes (yoga, orange theory, cycling) and nothing compares to the system. The trainers are professional, motivating and fun. What I have found really impressive is the emphasis on form, recovery and injury consciousness and adaption that comes with each class. This gym always leaves me wanting more. Keep up the good work SOS!!

The System Works! They have a variety of classes that compliment each other and work to create a fitness routine that builds strength, endurance and flexibility.

My wife was super into this gym and she persuaded me to give it a try (I usually worked out at a Crossfit gym) and to my great surprise, I loved it! I loved the variety of classes (yoga, strength, conditioning, isometrics) and I can guarantee you that you will get a fantastic workout here. My favorites (based off a very small sample) were Gabe's Control class and Darrion's Clocked Class. I wish I had discovered this place sooner!

As a guy, my pride generally makes me avoid fitness classes. However, System of Strength keeps me coming back with some of the most intense and invigorating work outs I've ever done. Both my wife and I attend classes there (her more than me), and from Clocked to Control to everything else they have to offer SOS has defined itself as a world class gym with world class trainers & instructors.

I had to blow into town for a family
Emergency and noticed this gem was right near my hotel. I went onto their website and quickly decided to buy 5 spots even though there were options for buying just 1. I got into a class and was better than pleased in my decision. The class was one of the best I have ever been to! I recommend System of Strength to everyone who wants to get into shape in the Columbus area!
