I loved this place for the pool over the summer and I took some classes too, which were ok. But I’m confused why they don’t have wipes or clean the equipment used in classes?! Using a dirty rolled up mat after so many people before is unacceptable, and they didn’t have anything to clean it after I was done. Not trying to get an infection from a dirty gym.

I visited this gym today for a day pass as I'm trying out all of the local spots and want to find the best value for me.

All in all the Athletic Cos. was just okay in my opinion. The selection of equipment was what I would call "fine". The first floor is dedicated mainly to free weights with a few free motion machines and a turf lane for sled drags and similar activities. The first floor also has locker rooms which are adequate but nothing spectacular.

The second floor has primarily machines and cardio. The cardio equipment was actually pretty good if thats your thing.

All in all I would say that this gym is overall one notch above a planet fitness but nothing to go out of your way for.

TLDR: Slightly better than a Planet Fitness 6/10

I've been using this gym for almost 6 months and I really enjoy it. My main issues are the towelettes run out a LOT especially in the mornings (6am). I wish they had a hip thrust machine instead of the barbell set up upstairs. It takes way too long to set up

Gyms are nice, but it’s impossible to get a hold of anyone to fix an account issue :(

With locations in Italian Village and Harrison West (and even more opening up soon), The Athletic Cos. gyms offer a great, and convenient, workout experience.

The staff are always very friendly and helpful, and the facilities are always kept clean.

Whether you’re into cardio, weightlifting, or functional training, you’ll find what you need. The variety of machines and free weights ensures that your workouts are diverse and effective. However, adding a curl bar would make the experience even better. Also, the Harrison West location could benefit from adding a dip bar. Currently, Harrison West is my go to location since it's close to where I work, but on days when I'd like to do dip exercises, I have to trek over to their Italian Village location which has two sets of dip bars. It would be nice to have at least one set at Harrison West.

Overall, The Athletic Cos. provides a great gym experience. The combination of friendly staff, clean facilities, and a wide range of equipment makes it an excellent choice for anyone looking to improve their fitness. With a few minor additions, like a curl bar and a dip bar at every facility, it would be the perfect gym. I highly recommend checking out The Athletic Cos. if you’re in search of a new fitness home.

Recent updates have made this gym excellent. A lot of new equipment, friendly staff, clean, and convenient parking. Open 24 hours but not usually staffed. Day passes can be acquired through a QR code on the interior door, which is often inaccessible.

Very nice gym that generously offers day passes. All positive experiences with staff and other members. I did not feel uncomfortable for a second as someone who is not a regular. Great place to workout if you travel to or live in Columbus.

I really love this gym. Very clean and has a lot of up to date equipment. It’s never too crowded and there’s a lot of space to do any workout.

Seriously lacking in equipment for $90/month. Girls just walking on the treadmill for over an hour during peak times and it’s impossible to rotate any machines because they are so limited

Pool is decent, but the staff put me off it. Dudebro checking us in gave my girlfriend and I a hard time about our reusable water bottles and told us we had to either empty them or leave them outside. Fair enough. We thought it was a perfectly reasonable request and left the bottles in our car. Only to watch dudebro let in every single white person that came in after us with drinking vessels. White women with Stanley’s, come on in. A group of white men with coffees from a nearby coffee shop? Come on in. Literally watched this man let in a lady who was sipping from the same water bottle I had been told I couldn’t bring in. Overall, my man let in at least a dozen people (a conservative estimate, according to my girlfriend) with various bottles/cups, but none were asked to get rid of them. I think it’s interesting that that rule was only applied to a Muslim couple. Not saying he is definitely racist, but if it looks like a duck and it quacks like a duck…Good rules turn into bad ones with unequal enforcement. Do better.

Not a member just yet, but I had a fantastic time participating in the cardio class with Jalena. Jalena was very helpful and ensured that my form was correct for each move. In addition, the receptionist gave excellent customer service. The gym is very nice and clean. I would highly recommend this place.

The trainers (specifically Jalena) truly care about your progress and hold you accountable. The gym feels more like a family and has lots of natural light and great equipment.

The previous gym owners were okay - it was an easy place to workout. Athletic Cos took this space to a whole new level. Bang for your buck is an understatement and I couldn’t imagine belonging anywhere else. first, the community. I am starting PT because I love the classes but overall just the staff. They are so welcoming, I feel like I’m at home and am motivated to accomplish something. Second, the cleanliness. We all want a safe environment to workout in and this is the safest I’ve been in. Third, the machinery is top notch and I can only imagine what the future holds. I could go on and on and on. Just check out the place yourself and fall in love! I can’t wait to see what other locations open.

Very friendly staff, they greet ever person. By name when you walk into the door. I’ve taken close to 40 classes of Jalena’s and she’s really helped me get my hip flexors opened back up. Her stretching warm ups are just what I needed to become more flexible. She’s very directional and instructs you on exercises until you get them down. If you’re looking to get out of your routine and switch things up, try one of her classes, you won’t be disappointed!

Safely the best gym in Columbus - more dumbbells, racks, and machines than any other spot you’ll find, with great staff to boot. LA Fitness is your go-to for unlimited cardio machines, Athletic Cos is your go-to for everything else.

I’ve been working out at this location for about 4 years. The improvements made as the location transitioned from GoFitness to The Athletic have been pretty great. The gym is much cleaner and the staff more friendly. I’ve also noticed an improvement in the personal training services provided. Looking forward to any and all future improvements at the gym as the trajectory they are on is great!

Pretty average to below average gym by today’s. standards. Equipment in severe need of an update or at least some TLC/maintenance, there is something wrong with almost every piece of machinery here. Much of the covering/padding is cracking off, or the machines screech and squeek when used. Also missing a lot of “typical” machines - 1 stair stepper, no smith machines, hammer strength, ab machine etc.

It also gets very busy during peak times, but not to worry, theres lots of space due to the lack of useful equipment to work out on! No updates have been made by new ownership other than a new name, some paint, and new merchandise and classes for sale.

Its is HOT as heck during the summer as their a/c system is either insufficient, or broken and management will not fix it. It's not abnormal to have indoor temps in the upper 70s or even above 80 at times, very unpleasant conditions to work out in.

The wifi is spotty at best. 5g phones dont connect in the building. Go elsewhere, there are a ton of better options in the area that provide a superior gym experience for a lesser price.

For the only pool in town with dollar oysters on Thursdays from the adjacent bar/restaurant, the basic membership is a good deal. Not the fanciest facility but pretty clean.
