Best Gym near Pickerington, Ohio

I am at this club several times a week and it’s great. The class schedules fit with basically any schedule. The trainers and group fitness instructors are really knowledgeable and good to work with. There’s a perfect mix of people, too. Families, people at the beginning of their fitness life, and already fit gym folks. It’s worth the price to have access to the equipment and levels of help, instruction, and encouragement I feel like I need.

I had the most amazing experience visiting this gym! There are so many equipment options, the staff is nice, the gym is clean and they have cool classes. I did the Monday night 6:45 class with Dana and had the time of my life! I felt like I got in a great work out and had energy after to finish my day. I highly recommend you take one of Dana’s classes! You will not be disappointed.

Very clean facility, excellent and knowledgeable personal trainers, the group fitness classes are FANTASTIC, the child care center is an amazing amenity, and all the staff members are friendly and inviting!

Corporate gym with a family gym feel. Staff is always friendly and helpful, keeping the facility clean and tidy. Amazing, knowledgeable trainers and a variety of fun classes to fit your needs. They have morning and evening child care as well as weekly events on the weekends for the parents. This is the best facility in the area!

Pros: Clean facility with friendly staff. Variety of fitness classes that are amended to most fitness levels. Accept Silver Sneakers. Pleasant, polite members who will say hello but pretty much keep to themselves - which I like. Cons - philosophy appears to be highly motivated to upsell memberships to private trainers. Multiple employees refused to assist with answering questions about machines or workout adjustments. All employees that I approached (6) immediately suggested additional consulting fees when all i was asking was how to use a machine and suggested weight levels. You're really on your own with machines or workout regimen unless you want to pay an additional $50+ per hour. Final tally: The classes are great and led by instructors (I met 8) who really cared and assisted participants who needed to either increase or decrease the intensity. If you know what you're doing and prefer to work alone on your machine/weights program, this is the spot for you. If you're like me, a beginner, stick to the classes.

LOVE this place! Ive been working out here since it opened (summer 2020). This gym has a TON of equipment (all brand new), friendly front desk staff, plenty of space, and is never too crowded. The Hoist equipment here is my favorite because it really helps you target/isolate the muscles you want to work. Membership includes free classes and for an additional cost you can get a personal trainer. They also have child care.

Nice hidden spot, is located in the corner of the strip mall by speedway on 256 Equipment is well maintained and clean, you have more than enough options to work each muscle group. This gym goes beyond value. You do get a lot more for your $$$ than any other gym in the neighborhood. They do not have a basketball court or a swimming pool but also your monthly fee is not close to 100 for something you use maybe once every other month.

I travel a lot and visit a lot of different gyms. This place was very clean and had plenty of equipment to do just about anything you want. Got a day pass for $10 and money well spent.

This is the best value gym I've found. Not quite as nice as lifetime but 1/3 the price and has all the equipment you will ever need. They offer lots of classes too. They could use some extra free weights (need more 5 and 10 lb plates as not everyone wants to jump up 50 lbs at a time. Overall a great gym if your looking.

Nice clean place to workout. This is not a big gym with extra amenities like swimming pool and stuff but if you mean business they got everything you need. I am also a member of a big gym chain that has it all but I frequent this one because it is clean and smells way better.

I've called this place my workout home for the 15+ years. Along the way, I've been a member of other other gyms. None suit me as well as this one. Every exercise machine imaginable, and the staff have always been courteous and kind. If you want functionality over aesthetics. You can't go wrong with this place.

I started here a couple of weeks ago, great gym with a wide variety of equipment. Not crowded, is clean, and has staff that are friendly and welcoming. Fellow gym members are considerate and mature.

I moved into a new apartment complex and because of that I have a membership here. To join its easy enough, bring an ID, your lease and sign a paper then you’re ready to use the gym. I’ve never stepped in a gym before, I had it in my head that the moment someone new comes and starts to work out people would judge. I was convinced gyms were just full of intimidating people. Not the case with this, I am mad that it took so long for me to realize that. I’ve gone at varying times on different days and the busiest I’ve seen it wasn’t even that busy. The people there so far are fine, no one is obnoxious or loud. Every once in awhile you’ll hear someone that’s breathing loudly, which, you’re at a gym, noises will happen. I’ve yet to hear any grunts or anything. Staff has been nice, I haven’t really dealt with them too much but overall they seem chill. Everyone is in their own little world, interactions with other gym goers for me has been very little but from what I’ve experienced everyone there is nice. I can’t speak for women but I imagine finding a gym as one is difficult and can be wildly uncomfortable. My girlfriend enjoys coming here and I’ve asked her if she’s comfortable here and she has said yes. However, she has said that she doesn’t feel comfortable going alone just yet. Not that anything has happened, just she’s not familiar with the machines and in general is a fairly reserved/shy person when it comes to being out of her element. As far as other women in the gym, I’ve never seen one get approached by a random person, not saying it hasn’t happened, but from my experience I’ve not seen it. I’ve been consistently going to this gym since I signed that paper. Honestly, with my experience here if I ever move I’m going to continue coming here. Day passes are like $15, which seems fair. Try it for a day, maybe a week if you want and then decide after that.

Awesome gym, great staff. Highly recommend you check them out if you are looking for a gym to train your hardest in

It's a solid all around gym. There's some equipment that needs a little refurbishing, but most works great and what gym doesn't have a creaky machine or two? Overall it has pretty much everything most people would look for in a commercial gym. It is bodybuilding and powerlifting friendly, but not so much strongman. Also has a large cardio area and stretching/aerobic area.

Love OTF so much! I’ve been going for several years to many different studios and the workouts are never boring and always challenging me! The coaches and staff are so welcoming and helpful also! I would highly recommend to everyone from beginner to experienced gym-goer!

Prior to joining OTF, I hadn’t set foot in a gym in almost 15 years because I never knew what to do if left on my own. Home workouts were my thing. But at OTF, the coaches literally tell you exactly what to do every minute you are in there and everyone is doing it together. Group fitness is the best! It’s every age range and every fitness level represented. The Pickerington staff is outstanding and encouraging. And the theme days are so fun! Go sign up for the free class!

Not just a great workout but a fun, supportive community. Bonus points for theme days, special events like Dri Tri, and signature work outs. My neighbor talked me into trying it in March of ‘23 and I loved it so much I got a job there that October! Oh and they are great about celebrating accomplishments and birthdays making sure members feel special 😊.

I’ve been at this OTF for a couple of years and love it! The coaches and staff are amazing and always happy, even at those early am classes. The classes can be dialed up or down, depending on what a “base” “push” and “all-out” mean at my individual fitness level, and coaches are attentive to form (most important part in my opinion!) thank you otf for being a fulfilling part of my life! 😊

The staff and everything was great! I completed my first workout and afterwards was explained the current promotion going on which was try the first month for $25, but cancel before your billing date so it doesn't charge you for the following month as well. Well woke up with a $200 charge on my account. I called OrangeTheory and she said someone should have explained to you the promotion and I definitely don't remember hearing that I would be charged another month if I AM CANCELING! Great Place to burn some calories! BUT READ THE FINE PRINT.

I have been working out at Personal Training For The Next Level with Brian Kelly for the last year and a half. I have worked out daily for last 25 years and find Personal Training For The Next Level with Brian Kelly to be one of the best choices I have every made. The workout environment is awesome and I love the people in our small groups. Its definitely a friends and family environment. I have been able to easily achieve my personal goals and highly recommend Personal Training For The Next Level. When I started with Brian I had several nagging joint issues which Brian was able to correct with proper workouts and stretching exercises.

I’ve been working out with Brian for over 10 years and can honestly say I have never once done the same workout twice! Brian is an absolute pro at what he does. He develops individualized workouts for people of all ages and fitness levels. Workouts include a mix of strength, cardio, and functional moves that will keep you challenged and moving towards your fitness goals. In other gyms, I have felt out of place or uncomfortable working out around other people, but Brian’s classes are full of the most welcoming, friendly people who will encourage you and cheer you on every day. If you’re motivated and looking to see positive changes in your personal fitness, look no further than Brian!

After I stopped competing at the professional level for golf I was looking to still train like an athlete and I couldn't have found a better gym. Brian brings it every workout and each one is something different. He will work around any injury or mobility issues you have and gives everyone the same attention. I've had trainers at the division 1 level and I would put Brian ahead of all of them. If you want to start or continue your fitness journey I can't recommend this place enough.

I have been working out with exercise trainers in some capacity for over 25 years. I’ve been with Brian now for two and half years and I am incredibly impressed with his approach to exercise training. The group I workout with ranges in age from 26-76 – each with different goals, levels of fitness, and limitations. He designs a single workout (never the same!) offering modifications/personalization to accommodate every need in the group. His therapeutic approach brings a focus to proper form for injury prevention, but also offers a rehabilitative perspective for injury recovery. And most importantly, Brian enjoys his relationships with his clients and creates a culture of comradery. We have a great time, encourage one another, hold each other accountable, and even become friends. Highly recommend!

I could not be more grateful to have found Brian Kelly at The Next Level! His years of training, education, expertise & knowledge are truly what sets him apart. I’ve been apart of the fitness community for many years and was looking for someone who could truly understand my goals, limitations and improvements. Brian delivers on all accounts and more with an impressive determination to want you as a client to succeed. Every session leaves you walking out the door better than you entered. Highly recommend to anyone wanting the best!

Jacob was great to work with! I felt he listened and always had my best interest. Jacob is very knowledgeable and dedicated to the profession. I knew I was in good hands. I highly recommend Jacob. I would/will absolutely seek him out again. Thanks, Jacob!

I’ve been very pleased with my therapy at Fitness Matters. Jacob is prompt at every appointment, which I appreciate since I have a busy schedule! I’ve been seeing him multiple times a week for over a year, and have seen tremendous improvement. He is very kind, caring and knowledgable. And dare I say…funny! He makes my sessions as “fun” as they can be considering he has to hurt me in the process! I would highly recommend him! He will forever be my go to physical therapist😊

Jacob is the best! He listens to what issues you may be having, doesn’t rush through the sessions, is very knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about his patients. Will choose Fitness Matters for any PT needed in the future!

Jacob has helped me tremendously! I was so worried about me knee pain. I couldn’t get out of my car and walk but after my sessions with this knowledgeable, personable, understanding PT, I am doing SO much better. He knows the muscles and human body! He’s very understanding and I am feeling more flexible, able and so much better. Highly recommended!

So far, so good. Nicholas (Nick) is great. Services are wonderful. Visiting Worthington, but for convenience, transferring to Pickerington. Had the dry needling done, traveled from northside to eastside, and the pain was gone. Dry needling is a temporary fix (that I read...I don't know, but plan to inquire) So to experience no pain, has been heaven sent. The procedure went very easily and pain-free for me.
