The Athletic Cos. Italian Village — Attraction in Columbus

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...

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...

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...
