Metro Fitness Worthington — Local services in Columbus

The atmosphere is great, and the added amenity of “heavy” room is great as well. However, there are many downsides to this location; the machines are always broken, a majority of the barbells are bent, the dumbbells are never organized & (again) a majority of them are defective, the restrooms/locker rooms - specifically for the men - are disgusting & have a really strong poignant smell, the location is terrible, and the owner isn’t very friendly.

At the end of the day, you get what you pay for; the membership rate is about $30/mo, which is VERY cheap. While the owner is a prestigious & recognized by many, he can act like he walks on water, and it even trickles down to his family AND his clients. His kids aren’t very respectful, and whenever he has classes/clients, they aren’t respectful & take up as much room as they possibly can. One might think (as well) that if the owner knows what he’s doing, then one would be able to see his clients sufficiently progress.

As far as location, the parking lot is a mess - there landscaping isn’t regulated & the pavement is highly compromised. But above all else, there are numerous incidents of vehicles getting broken into, and the same hooligans are presumptuous enough to go into the gym & steal from...

I went to this gym on a day pass, as I was traveling to Columbus just for the day and needed a place to workout. I chose this gym one because of how close in proximity it was to Polaris. Checking in was easy. The front desk guy was super nice and helpful. Everyone was nice and friendly, and was greeted with a smile. The women’s locker room was very clean and smelled great. The locker shelves do need a wipe down as a ton of dust. There was plenty of cardio equipment and just as much weights (because gyms usual have more cardio equipment than weights) and literally had amazing pieces some that my own gym doesn’t even have. I would definitely love to come back and do a leg day here. You can tell everyone cares for the equipment they wipe it down after every use. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars was a few things. The dumbbell set up is weird in my opinion, and I wish there was a rack for all the attachments rather than just sitting them in a small bin on the floor. There were more than enough cable machines, not enough attachments in my opinion. Overall it is a great gym for the beginner, expert, and everyone in between. If I ever move to Columbus I will definitely consider this as a gym to become...

If “hard work and motivation” was a gym, this would be it. There’s Ample parking, It’s clean, thoughtfully organized and has several versions of almost every machine. There’s no waiting around for leg presses here! The weights are organized and community spaces are clean and well taken care of. The gym culture takes the experience to the next level. People are working HARD, encouraging one another and taking care of the shared spaces. It’s easy to get motivated just by walking in. You see body builders, soccer moms, , Silver Sneakers members, teens, total beginners,.. you name em, they’re there getting a workout. The boot camp class on Saturday is LIT.🔥 Great music, great vibes, and lots of push factors everywhere. If you’re looking for a gym home or something to spice up your fitness routine I’d highly recommended...
