I’ve been coming to the fitness loft on and off for the last several years. However, I’ve really loved some of the fitness classes I’ve been taking lately! Love synergy and boxing with Ron Smith. He makes a challenging class fun and I always leave feeling great. He’s also a great personal trainer - listens well and helps to create a plan specific to your goals. The gym is always clean and has all the equipment you’d need.

The Fitness Loft is a great gym at an affordable price! It has all the equipment you might need, including free weights, cardio, and cable machines. They also have a variety of fitness classes and amazing personal trainers! I have been working with Breauna Saunders as my trainer there for just under a year, and I have seen tremendous growth in terms of my strength, confidence, and understanding of how to do different types of exercises. She has been an incredible guide in my journey to better physical fitness, and also someone who I now consider a friend. I would definitely recommend this gym to anyone, regardless of whether they are new to fitness or more experienced. It has something for everyone.

After a hiatus of about 7 years, I realized I was losing strength and stamina. Decided to go to The Fitness Loft and was fortunate to show up on a day when Ron Smith was at the trainers' station. He agreed to take me on — although he acknowledged that a guy in his mid-70s did not fit the profile of his usual clients. Now more than two years into working with Ron twice a week, I am stronger and fitter than I have been in years. Who would have thought that we would click, but we have. He has my best interests in mind when planning training, and he is unfailingly encouraging. Ron is fond of saying that I am a "Finely Tuned Athletic Machine." I tell him that's bull — and we laugh and carry on. Genral Manager Diana and the rest of the training team round out my excellent experience here.

Working with Bre has been a game changer for my strength training. Before finding Bre at the Fitness Loft, I was completely lost on how to use machines, how to create a training program, and most importantly how to safely and effectively workout. Before every session she intently asks about my individual workouts and if there is anything I am struggling with. She is able to tailor my sessions on the fly in order for me to get the most out of my workouts. Above all, she is super encouraging and I love how she approaches fitness and strength from a holistic wellness perspective.

I chose TFL because it was close to my home, was clean, and had a wide variety of equipment. I am so happy, though, that it lead me to meet coach Ron. His Synrgy and boxing classes are tough but attainable for any skill level AND he also helps me to level up my strength and conditioning through personal training 💪

Can’t say enough good things about The Fitness Loft (TFL)! Been a member for 10+ years and so have seen the gym since it opened…It still looks new. It’s always clean, the staff is helpful and friendly, and the locker room is always stocked with clean towels. They make a concerted effort to add new equipment as fitness and lifestyle technology changes. A strong community for those looking for that in a gym as well. Will be a member for many more years to come.

Not clean! I got a skin bacteria infection from the equipment. Not worth the risk. I mentally couldn’t go again after. The rash started and then covered my entire stomach, and legs.

I have been a member for 7 years and I used to thing the gym was amazing and had great staff. They currently raised membership prices for “facility maintenance” while still requiring members to still pay a yearly “facility fee”. They also quoted it was for updates to the gym, which seem to be primarily cosmetic, and updates I am sure no member cares to see or needed. These include new painted murals, bathroom light fixtures, amongst other things that members could probably care less about. If I am paying a for a “premium” gym, I should not have to use a cable pull that has been sewn together after breaking.

Really good selection of equipment and weights. Plenty of space and it’s not too crowded either. Not a “boys club”, no excessive ‘everyone look at me’ grunting and everyone wears shirts so that’s great.

The membership is $70 a month which to me is reasonable coming from Denver which is usually $135 a month. Includes sauna which is functional. The only down side is the inbody scanning, which they charge $25 per scan even for members. The gym I usually attend charges $10 for members, and the first one is always free. When we first asked about it, the lady said the first one would be free but when we went to these guys behind the counter they said she was mistaken.

Point being, I understand that inbody are like $20k machines and have subscription fees ontop of that, but the first inbody scan I think should be free 🤷‍♀️.

Also the meal prep downstairs is amazing and delicious. Overall a great spot to workout!

This health club has an unkind staff and an unreasonable manager who wanted to make herself feel good and asked me to never come to this club after being a paying member for two years.
So for 2+ years I am a paying member of this club. Last Saturday I come in and after giving my phone number to the desk (forgot my key fob) they tell me that I am not a member! What??? Since when? All the rude girl would say was that I was not in "the system". Funny I was just there 2 days earlier and my husband and so was my husband who had just walked in ahead of me. (Husband had his key fob and it let him in).
I told the girl that there must be a mistake. The girl said they are in process of getting a new system and that the error was on their end as their system just randomly cancelled me and it turns out they cancelled my husband too. But I guess that is our problem.
The girl at the desk said that I was "rude". I have no idea what constitutes "rude" in her book but I never raised my voice and I never swore. I did express incredulity that's certain but I was not rude.
Later my husband asked for an explanation as to why he and I were cancelled. All the staff could say was they had no idea how or why that occurred. Our membership privileges were restored on Sunday as they must have figured out that the error was on their part.
I registered for a class today and I was met by the general manager (Diana) who was waiting at the front desk for me to enter. She pulled me aside and informed my that I am no longer allowed on the premises and my membership has been cancelled.
Truly incredible. Rude, arrogant, cold and uncaring does not even begin to describe this place.

Find a real health club, preferably one that owns up to their own mistakes and does not have an arrogant general manager. But avoid this one at all costs.

I almost don’t want to leave a good review because I don’t want this place to get overly crowded and annoying, but it’s a good one and I love working out here.
I would like to see more crackdown on phone using equipment squatters and reminders to CLEAN EQUIPMENT AFTER USAGE.
Beyond that, it’s been one of my best experiences in a gym in Columbus thus far.

You’re hours of operation often prevent me for going, close early on the weekend and open late and these holiday hours are actually insane!!! New Years Day,,,, NEW YEARS DAY THE ONLY GYM HOLIDAY EVER TO BE A THING THATS LIKE A RESTAURANT CLOSING ON MOTHERS DAY. Adjust your hours appropriately or not at all 9am to 3pm is UBSURD if 6 hours 12-6. After dawn near 2 weeks of not being able to go to the gym 2 minutes from my house because of ridiculously inconsiderate hours of opp I am thinking of moving on to another gym. Open Christmas Eve but closed the 26th..? Lmfao .. Other than that love the gym, equipment and staff.

Clean, friendly staff, and food nearby! That said, the rowing machines leave something to be desired. Imagine a rowing machine made by Stairmaster. They make stair machines, not rowing machines!

Concept 2 ergometers (i.e., rowing machines) are used for indoor rowing races. Bona-fide rowers use them. They are the standard. Whenever replacing, please do so with Concept 2s. They are no more expensive than what's now provided, but far better.

Cons:
1. Over the last 6 - 12 months, at least 1 of the 3 stairclimbers has been broken. Not sure why it takes months to fix.
2. Classes take over regular workout floor space. I've had class instructors ask me (mid workout) to stop working out in the area and using the equipment. No signs, no notification.
3. Expensive if you're not working at the hospital and annual fees that are "improving the gym," but somehow can't get stairclimbers fixed faster.

Pros:
1. Many group classes if that's your thing. Folks seem to have a good time.
2. Variety of equipment, generally enough even at peak times.
3. Staff is kind and helpful. If it wasn't for this, I might have changed gyms already.

I’m a dedicated and experienced lifter and I was a member here for about 1 year. Overall I had a good experience. Lots of great equipment and plenty of space for body building and CrossFit styles. There is also a huge selection of cardio machines if that’s your thing. Everything is kept very clean and everyone does a god job of putting things back. Equipment is high quality and pretty new. While they do have everything you need the selection isn’t great. If you’re looking for a place to do any Olympic style lifting or powerlifting this a not your gym. They do not have any platforms and in fact as it’s a loft you cannot drop weights.

The staff here is fantastic (shout out to Donovan) aside from the personal trainers. While I don’t use personal trainers, I can tell from observation that they really don’t know what they are doing. I even had an incident with one that was “training” a beginner to superset on 3 different machines, one of which I needed to use. After waiting a while I finally started using the machine because they had been away from it for 10 mins. They came back over and the personal trainer, Ron, wanted the machine back, going as far as threatening me with membership termination and pestered me for the next 5 mins about it. Quite unprofessional.

The flow of the lifting area works well though I have to say the space is not utilized to its fullest extant. The gym I’m at now has half the space with probably twice the selection of equipment. Also, when a machine breaks they can sometimes take quite a while to get it fixed. They charge $100 per year extra for an equipment fee but rarely reinvest.

The overall vibe of the gym is nice but also feels very big box. The locker rooms are top notch and they even have a sauna. Can’t speak to the quality of the showers as I never used them. This gym is kept very clean and towels are always kept stocked.

I can’t speak to the type of lifters that frequent the gym in the afternoon as I go at 5am. Early in the morning there are a few good people in there that go hard, never ran into any “gym bros” but most are not very serious about their fitness and there are also a few ego lifters in there. Hardly anyone uses good form or gives maximum effort.

Overall I would definitely recommend this gym if you’re not a serious lifter. Keep in mind they have limited hours and are closed all major holidays and even some not major ones. If you’re a serious lifter you can definitely do better but it’s still a great gym for what it is.

I love everything about the fitness loft - it’s clean, people wipe down their machines and put their weights away. It’s spacious and the staff is always so friendly. My only issue is with how long the sauna has been out of order 🫤 it’s been several months with no sauna yet paying the full price when we aren’t able to access all the amenities. I wish the gym would do something to help with overall morale of our amenities not being available yet having to pay the 70+ monthly fee.

The Fitness Loft is a great gym that is incredibly spacious and has all of the machines, weights, and equipment you’d need. The thing that really sets this gym apart is how the classes are included in the monthly membership price. I LOVE going to the Divine Impact Fitness dance classes and the Zumba classes. The instructors are so kind and friendly and make the environment so welcoming. I truly look forward to coming to these classes multiple times a week and have made friends with lots of people who also attend these classes regularly. It’s just such a positive and fun experience every single time. There are also even more classes to choose from which is great to have a nice variety if you want to switch things up. I really recommend this gym. To have a fully equipped gym, plus unlimited workout classes, you can’t beat the price. Plus the gym staff are also very friendly and welcoming. Also everything is well kept and clean which is really nice. I really love this gym and would 100% recommend.

Took a hip hop class here yesterday and was so fun in addition to being an AMAZING workout. I've taken dance classes elsewhere before and usually feel a bit defeated by some combination of the difficultly of the moves, unwelcoming atmosphere or not really feeling tired by the end. Not only was this class filled with real hip hop moves and music (and a very talented group of participants), it was very challenging with modifications aplenty. We even did affirmations at the end. The instructor was wonderful and talented, vibes were immaculate, and I can't wait to come back!

I was a member for 4 years at The Fitness Loft. Very clean and open space and has about every piece of equipment you would need. I do wish there was additional squat racks and benches as during busy times it is tough to get one and heavier dumbbells then 100lb, but beggers can't be choosers. The people who are apart of the gym are amazing and met a lot of cool people throughout my time. Thankfully I joined before the price increased as I do think it is a little pricey, but its not terrible for the cleanliness and the environment provided. They also could be open later into evening, specifically Friday and weekends, but overall not terrible hours. Still gets a 5 start from me as it is one of the best gyms I have been apart of.

After reading about this gym, I was looking forward to becoming a member at an inviting gym. I have been let down by a lack of rule enforcement and rude members. People slam weights unnecessarily left and right. I'm not expecting them to ring a lunk alarm like planet fitness, but please tell the dude on the leg press machine and the lady doing cable pull downs that they can let the weight down slowly to prevent things from crashing down after each set, and so on. The gym is amazing otherwise.

The building manager is a KAREN!! (DIANA) to be exact!! She took pictures of my car saying I wasn’t in a proper parking location!! Sad instead of her just saying hey even though you will be a second I don’t like you right here because I can’t be right here! I was in the building walking out as I see her walking around my vehicle looking inside of it an snapping pictures of my personal property without my permission! Very illegal because she is not the police! Like it’s 2023 get a grip! Let’s be honest if I was white she wouldn’t have treated me in such a manner!

I've been a member since October 2021 -- absolute love the classes and appreciate everyone who works there. Since I need a bit more structure to my workouts (i.e. a schedule), it is great to have such a wide variety of classes to choose from! I currently take Zumba with Monica and could not ask for a better, more uplifting, fun cardio workout! I also take Boxing with Ron and would highly recommend the class to anyone looking to learn (while punching out the stress of life). Lastly, I attend BodyPump with Jim on Wednesday :) it is a challenging workout but will leave you wanting more. The classes are amazing and I could not ask for better instructors! I don't think I would have stayed as a member for as long as I have if it were not for them.

My first experience going to this gym was in June of 2021, and I had enrolled in an LGBTQ Pride exercise class hosted by two of the gym’s trainers and fitness instructors. From that experience alone in seeing not only a large, bright, open-spaced, well-maintained facility with friendly and enthusiastic staff, I felt a tangible sense of inclusivity towards people from all walks of life. So, I then bought a class package for the different exercises classes that the gym regularly offers. Then, shortly before I knew it, I started a membership at the gym and have continued to go to the gym ever since and use its facilities and amenities as much I can. Needless to say, I highly recommend this gym to anyone looking to start, continue or modify their own personal fitness journey.

By far the best gym in Columbus. Staff always greet you with a smile and a warm welcome. The facility is consistently spotless and it’s great being able to see the owners and instructors interact with clients. The classes, towel service, sauna, lockers, showers, etc. are top notch. A huge perk of this gym is that they are always adding something new to the gym so it makes you WANT to exercise instead of seeing the same equipment everyday. Highly recommend.

I joined TFL at a difficult time in my life and it turned things all the way around for me. Pretty sure I was using every piece of equipment wrong but I never felt judged, only ever encouraged. The front desk staff was always warm and welcoming, and the group classes had me genuinely excited to come back week after week (especially the Divine Impact Fitness classes!!). If you’re in the Columbus area, TFL is the gym to be at.

The Fitness Loft has an amazing, motivated staff (not common in a number of fitness centers). It has a wide variety of modern equipment and plenty of space for working out (again not common). It's also incredibly clean (need I say it again?)

What I like most is that it is the best in terms of the design and layout of the facility. The views from inside and the massive amount of natural sunlight coming through the wall of windows makes even the most challenging workout an inspiring experience. The locker room feels more like a high-end designer bathroom than a locker room.

If you are looking for more than a basic gym and you want to enjoy the entire process while you enhance your health and fitness, you won't find a more competent staff, better equipment or a nicer environment.

Go there, you won't regret it!!!

I’ve been a member for several years now. Traveling for work and having worked at a local gym years ago, I have experience with all the major brands and local gyms. This is the very best gym in Columbus. Let me count the ways.
Staff: Staff is friendly, efficient and professional.
Hours: Hours are great. (No one else but me would want to work out at 6am on a Saturday and Sunday lol)
Equipment: 3 racks, 1 smith, 2 flat BB BP, 1 incline BB BP, 1 decline BB BP, 5 adjustable free weight benches, 1 curls, multiple DB of smaller weights up to 40lb - always some DBs available. Every machine you can imagine. 6 pullys, 1 pull down, 1 row, several other variations of pullys. All the different ab machines you could want. Core equipment. A large synergy array for pull-ups, etc.
Availability: equipment is almost always available. Only issues are during peak-peak times - which is to be expected. We are talking like 1.5-2 hours in the AM & PM. No major barriers to working out. Lots of cardio equipment. A couple classrooms. Lots of trainers available.
The place is always super clean. Everything is in working order!(!!) It’s well lit, etc.
The team is always open to feedback and will likely purchase something if you ask. They truly have everything you could need. They’re the best!

Smoothie/sandwich shop inside is very good but sometimes after a workout the bacon smell is nauseating. It’s been very very crowded since like December? Must’ve ran a promotion or something but definitely an influx as far as I’ve noticed.

Awesome gym and awesome people! The equipment and facility is very clean and maintained well by the friendly staff. The locker rooms are also very nice and include built-in locks on the lockers and free towel services. Sad I am leaving this gym after 4 years due to a move. Highly recommend to anyone looking to start or maintain a healthy lifestyle!

If you’re going to have a sauna on site, please utilitize it properly. It needs to be 150-180+ degrees.

Been coming here for just about 2 years. It's the best gym in the area by far.
Here's why you should join them - They don't put revenue over the health and safety of their members. They've proved that time several times at this point. That says a lot about a business.

If you are looking for a gym where amenities meet professionalism in a positive and spacious environment, then I encourage you to check out The Fitness Loft. The staff is hard-working, knowledgeable, and personable, and the equipment is well-maintained and abundant. Imagine a place where you are free to explore energetic classes, powerlifting, cardio, and community under one roof and you have The Fitness Loft.

The Fitness Loft is by far the best gym in Columbus. It is clean, well organized, boasts cutting edge equipment, and offers a great variety of group fitness classes. They have complimentary lockers with digital locks which are very convenient and when not in the midst of a global pandemic, have other great amenities like towels, shampoo and body wash, and a sauna.

I started at the Fitness Loft about two years ago because it was close to where I worked. I was a bit intimidated about getting back into the gym after a long hiatus but the staff team is so friendly and every other member I have met has been courteous and easy to be around. It is a very comfortable space to work out in. Sadly, I had a location change with my job and had to cancel my membership (which was super easy and the team member who helped me was extremely prompt and kind about it). I started attending another gym for about a year but my heart stayed with TFL. I rejoined a few months ago, again feeling some anxiety but this time because of COVID. Wow, has this gym done a stellar job of adapting and keeping their staff and members safe!! They clean thoroughly every day from 12-2, have 6 ft spaces are taped off throughout the gym which allows social distancing, and they have strict masking policy which members are great about following (from what I have observed). I am a healthcare worker and I can honestly say TFL is one of the places I feel most comfortable in right now. If you are on the fence about gym membership during this pandemic, I would really encourage you to at least check out the Fitness Loft. It is a great gym with great people.

I have been a member of TFL for over 5 years. It’s a great facility. Plenty of cardio machines and an abundance of strength training machines and free weights.

The staff is very friendly and eager to answer questions. They are also very knowledgeable if you have training questions.

TFL has gone above and beyond to keep the facility safe and clean in a Covid world. The place is spotless!

I absolutely loved going to this gym. I work across the street so it was very convenient. The staff was also consistently friendly and I felt safe and comfortable going to this gym early in the morning before work. The showers were always very clean, as was all the equipment. I love all the windows too - makes running on a treadmill a lot less painful. Also bonus: Alchemy is downstairs!

I have been a member of TFL for over 5 years. It is always so clean and even throughout the COVID-19 pandemic staff have kept the gym feeling safe and clean and made it clear that sanitation and their members' health is a top priority. I love that there are classes of all kinds included in your membership fee. The facility itself is very high tech and the crowd that goes is filled with young professionals. I couldn't ask for a better gym! They're even located on top of Alchemy Juice so makes for a nice place to get a pre or post workout juice or smoothie. If you are considering TFL, I highly recommend it!

Gym is super clean, always has fresh towels. They could use some more weight plates and could use a couple of machines that they are lacking like a rear deltoid/chest fly and could use more back machines like a t-bar row or the newer style ergonomical pull down machines. Alchemy is great though and you will never have to worry about theft in the locker rooms.

This year did crossfit and love it. However needed to make some financial decisions and decided to look into cheaper gyms. This one is down the street from my house and I would jog to it as a warm up. The gym is really clean. However its a loft. Meaning they try to stay away from noise and some areas get a little crowded. Went to some classes and I liked 2 of them but no sense of community and it seemed they would rush you in and out of the classes. No one really talked to you outside the circle they knew. No encouraging energy. The price is ok but the fit test was a joke for the price. Feel like this is just a better planet fitness. Other words decided on a different gym. They do have potential to get better I feel.

Absolutely the best gym I have ever been apart of. After a couple year fitness hiatus of being burnt out of all gym pressures and monotony, I started working out at Fitness Loft. I felt so uplifted by the positive and accepting environment. All of the team members at Fitness Loft made it an effort to learn my name and make me feel welcome. A year and a half later, it is absolutely my favorite place. My fitness goals have excelled, as well as my mental goals. Highly Recommend! Great group classes, nice equipment, and great staff! 😀🙌🏼💪🏼

I have been a member since TFL opened, more than 4 years ago, and I have no complaints about my experience there! The facilities are beautiful and provide everything you could want, and the staff are friendly and helpful. I especially enjoyed the BODYPUMP classes, but there are a large variety of classes available at all hours of the day, and they are all included with the membership! The towel service, keypad lockers (no locks!) and sauna are also nice perks. Check TFL out - you won’t be disappointed!

This gym is life. If you aren't working out here you're simply wasting your money. I had shopped around various gyms of different prices and facility styles for months prior to joining the Fitness Loft. Mind you, I had just moved here from Miami Florida at that time so I came with big expectations and this gym has surpassed all of them. The one thing I hear "but it's more expensive than other chain gyms!" - Yes and No. Yes, the monthly fee may be a bit more a month BUT you're not getting some absurd enrollment fee of $200 like all the others have. Additionally, I have never ever waited for equipment (which is always in mint condition), I have never felt bothered or intimidated and most of all - it has the best classes all included in your membership. I have three particular classes I am obsessed with (you'll have to sign up to find out which they are ;) ) and I swear they allow me to eat like I'm training for a triathlon without gaining weight. All jokes aside, what makes this gym all the more special is the people who work there and who go there. I work from home so my 'in person' human interaction is limited during the week. This is where I go to not just relieve stress but to interact with others as well. Every trainer/instructor here is different but they're all so kind and patient. There's different energy levels and training styles so everyone can find that particular class or instructor who speaks to them. They ultimately push you to step outside of your comfort zone in a comfortable manner which is all you can hope for!
