Shape Fitness 24hrs — Local services in Columbus

The Gym is overall great for convience and location BUT I recently had to stop my membership and training because I had emergency surgery and I was extremely prompt when it came to paying my fees. When I started my training, there was no policies i.e. payment, refund, scheduling, etc... explained in detail. I am a small business owner as well and if I have a customer that services weren't rendered, I refund promptly. Well, I had emergency surgery and I was stopped by my Dr up until August check up results to stop my training. When I finally got to talk with my trainer, after days of hearing nothing, I get this very vague response about no refund policy....which I wasn't asking for the entire amount back.... just for the time I did not complete. He went on to say my health was important, blah blah but I guess my money isn't important either given that now with my new medical condition I'm unable to work. Needless to say, I was very disappointed because you'd think the compassion and integrity would withstand alongside with the lack of detailed policy information. 🤷🏾‍♀️ Maybe I can get some results sooner...

I was in the fitness industry for over 40 years. I've read the reviews and while I have no experience with the other Shape facilities, i will give you my 2 cents concerning the gym on Grant.. If you want a gym that is clean, taken care of, in the process of rectifying earlier issues and during most normal times of the day, staff are available. It's a FOB club, there are many, many positives and a few negatives to this type of club, If you want a positive work environment, old skool fit and features, a world class power-lifter in house most days. Then I can't recommend a better fit for you. If you want new, shinny, people in uniform walking around and pretending to be "trainers", facilities, then SHAPE isn't your cup of tea. But, with that being said, if you want to be around a group of hard working people who are more than happy to have you become part of the family. Stop in, this is where I'll be.....kickin...

The issue I have with Shape Fitness is when did it become okay for a white female yoga instructor to whistle at Black men who want to cancel their membership? The lack of awareness and just overall stupidity of that moment is why Shape Fitness isn’t safe for Black men. And it doesn’t matter that the gym is owned by a Black man the people he employees do not respect Black men and he should re-evaluate his staff. Do we need a history reminder of Emmett Till?

Ps: since we live in times were unless you give a situation a name it doesn’t hold validity, Amy Lay is the person you need to get together!
