614Fitness — Attraction in Columbus

I’ve been going to 614 for over a year now and it was the best decision ever for a fitness program. It’s family friendly in small group sessions where people get to know you by name and not just a face among a hundred strangers. The instructors provide personal and expert guidance through all kinds of sessions. I’m found of HIIT myself, lots of variety. The owner/instructor is hands on, teaching classes himself. All ages and body types are welcome here and I love that this gym is the dream gym for fitness, regardless of who you are. Communication flows because the owner sends personalized emails to members chocked full of fitness points on stress, stretching, mobility, weight, muscle fitness, mediation, social support and more. This past year they developed all classes via online with Zoom, a lifesaver, and the gym continues ALL those Zoom sessions. 614 Fitness is worth its weight in gold many times over for the monthly fee. I love the personal touch and small classes. I’ve been a member of many gyms, even McConnell Heart Health Center, which I also loved, but it’s a big place there and you are basically on your own. I don’t want to be a gym rat, just going through the motions. I need a focused, personalized, and family oriented small group with knowledgeable, fun, and caring instructors— and that’s the treasure box here at 614...

I joined this gym roughly 6 months ago. In the beginning everything went great. But over the past couple months, things have turned. Some of the training staff is amazing, yet others have shown a sense of “not caring” or that they have some place else they would rather be or that they spent all of 2 minutes coming up with a group exercise. On more than one occasion, group exercise class was essentially “do sit-ups for 45 min non-stop, while I sit up here and play on my phone”. The personalized service they pride themselves on really comes up short when trainers are not even paying attention to their clients while they are doing their exercises. Additionally, be cautious of the positive reviews. They try and bribe their members with gift cards and skipping certain exercises by leaving reviews. This is ethically questionable at best. Bottom line I would not recommend this gym. There are too many other options available that are sure to provide a higher level of service and trainers who put your...

I have been a member since May 2021 and couldn’t recommend 614Fitness enough. Whether you are on your first burpee, or completing a series of them for a challenge, you will have a group of people cheering you on for your victory. After SEVERAL gym trials elsewhere this place really checked all the boxes I needed. Challenging workouts. Super positive environment. Amazing safety measures. And personalized fitness goals no matter where you are. It truly is an amazing and encouraging fitness family/ community.

The trainers are all attentive and provide great attention and support for any questions or modification needs. Jim, the owner, is so present, involved, and (even with a recent shoulder surgery) is there to encourage and embody the personal touch and connection he prides his gym on. With an owner like that the gym itself continues in that mode and really become a fitness family full of support and joy for your fitness journey and goal.

I can’t recommend this...
