This employee/manager doesn't even work out, he doesn't know what it's like to lift/exercise until failure with heavy weights. I squat 8 plates of 45lbs. I always do my pr and it's normal for people to make reasonable loud noises. This person doesn't understand what it's like to work out with heavy weights, it's been 3 times that they try to intimidate and interrupt my work outs. I have 3 witnesses that agree with me about this manager who doesn't know anything about gym. I would like to get in contact with the boss by phone or email so he is aware how the manager is running the gym (running it the wrong way). A lot of people at the gym tell me I am one of the only ones who lift heavy and doing it correctly, and the manager still has the courage to send other employees to interrupt my exercises. When I signed up to planet fitness I showed a video of me lifting to the employees to ask about the noise if it would be a problem and they said it's not but they interrupt my exercises almost everyday. I hope I can speak to the boss please. Thank you if you are reading this comment.

I love this place, it's like a family. They take such good care in cleaning and upkeep. The staff is amazing with such great attitudes. If you fear the gym, I would suggest you try here, they will definitely make you feel at home

By far the worst one in Columbus! I've been there 4 times and was only greeted once with a full staff talking to each other. Lots of mean mugging,never see anyone cleaning the place! The energy is off! HORRIBLE

Edit: love the new and improved updates. The new tanning beds are very nice at Milgen! Always clean and a joy. Milgen Rd and Manchester have slightly different equipment so getting a black card and going to both is recommended. Milgen is slightly bigger, but both are equally busy it seems.
