American Barbell Athletic Club — Local services in Violet Township

I found myself coming out of the winter months in a bad rut of just not motivating myself any longer with physical activity. I had been part of other gyms in the area, but they seemed more like a social club then anything else and I really never felt encouraged to push myself past what I thought I could do, so I got bored easily and quit. I had noticed that my flexibility and the overall feeling of how I felt about myself was heading in the wrong direction fast, so after speaking with a friend he encouraged me to come over and check this place out. I walked in with a fair bit of apprehensiveness but was quickly greeted by Nate (the owner) and he gave me a tour and explained his training program. I thought to myself, "hey, I haven't ever paid this much for a membership or really ever been pushed before, so what the heck, lets give it a whirl and really lean in to make some efforts and see how I feel after a few months". It has now been 4 months and I feel like a new person. Between working hard to stay regular in the gym and changing my nutrition (key here), I have dropped weight quicker than I thought was possible, so much so I have had to go shopping for new clothes! I have increased my strength, flexibility, and even my mental capacity to push myself beyond limits that were holding me back. Nate has encouraged me to work through joint discomfort, pushed me on weight and rep capabilities and really has become a friend that I know has my best interest in mind. I can honestly say I feel and am quickly moving towards a new look that I haven't had in a long time. Its worth checking the place out because you have an owner that is onsite, takes his business personal, and truly cares about your overall well being. Its nice to be part of something that doesn't feel like the corporate world and honestly it feels good to help someone build their personal dream of owning a...

American Barbell Athletic club is hands-down the best fitness facility in Central Ohio if you value quality and selection of strength and functional equipment, cleanliness, no-additional cost features such as cold plunges and saunas, invested owners, a welcoming and safe environment, and value for money. In the relatively short time they have been in business, they have more than doubled the size of the facility and are in the midst of a major expansion that will once more double the space. They continually add new equipment and maintain their existing pieces regularly. The policies make the space safe and comfortable for all types/styles of members, enhancing the experience for members and guests. I recently saw a small number of poor reviews posted by disgruntled former members who all voluntarily cancelled their memberships after being reminded of standing policies. I guess some folks feel that the rules don't apply to them and being asked to show basic courtesy and respect to the facility and fellow members is a form of persecution? If you want to setup multiple tripods to film every rep of every set and block whole sections of the gym so you can post your clips to your handful of followers on social media, maybe setup your own gyms where you can do whatever you want. Those of us who are long-time members appreciate the fair and consistent policies that make this a welcoming space for...
