Turning Point Fitness completely changed my mind and gave me a passion for Pilates although they do offer other classes. Using a class-pass system is great since you can use them as you need to, it helps when you have a changing schedule. Lisa and the other instructors are all very knowledgeable and, more importantly for someone with my lack of coordination, very patient! They also have lots of fun classes like before or after Thanksgiving as well as way to keep you constantly challenged. The studio is very nice, very clean and always lots of fun to go to. In addition, they have an in-house massage therapist who is wonderful. Turning Point Fitness totally changed the way I think about exercise!

Fitness Matters is a well-known physical therapy center located in Columbus, OH. They have…read moreexperienced physical therapists who are very helpful in providing relief from pain relief in various parts of the body. They are always friendly and are eager to help us. When I was suffering from knee pain, I found them at the nearest physical therapy center when I searched on the internet. They conducted various diagnosis processes to find out the cause of my pain. The physical therapists provided me with specific exercises and therapies to practice for a certain period. And it proved to help me feel better after doing those. I would strongly recommend you visit them if you suffer from any musculoskeletal problems.

I joined Lindsay G for a group barre class on Friday for her blogging group "Find Where You Fit,"…read moreit was so much fun. I got out of my comfort zone maybe most of the time during the whole 60 minutes of barre. Lindsay G thank you so much for putting this event together. Both you and Allison rocked this class. Allison was our instructor and really good one. For a person with very little barre experience she made me feel super comfortable learning it with the small movements to the weights and barre itself. Everything Allison did she talked you through in the class. You can tell Allison had a lot of experience in this and when I talked to her after the class I learned she used to teach barre in Chicago and moved her later to teach at Otterbein and Bexley Yoga. She made the class so much fun too, like she let us pick out out music which was 90's themed and everything just feel into place from there. Lindsay also got us these cute pair of barre socks too. We all modeled them at the end with our barre poses. I would totally come back here again and not just take barre but also try the yoga classes to help with my anxiety and stress. I know a lot of my friends from Bexley come here and rave about other instructors too, so I'll be back soon! Thanks again Lindsay and Allison for a great time!

During my recent trip to Columbus I was excited to try out a yoga studio in a new neighborhood. And…read morestaying at Bexley B+B just a few steps away, Bexley Yoga seemed like a solid location for an early morning class. The Yay: -Easy online registration -Low key, casual studio with water station and restroom off to the side -Nice playlist during my flow class -Clear instruction -Free mat rental -Super convenient to where I was staying in Bexley The Meh: -$18 for a drop in class reads on the spendy side to me, even with the free mat usage -I take a practice a fair amount of hot (flow) yoga, and this flow class seemed super fast. As in I didn't have very much time at all to stretch or settle into any pose in particular. It felt rushed throughout, with the exception of shavasana. I'd definitely try Bexley Yoga again next time I'm in the neighborhood to hopefully get a better picture of their practices.

Body Buzz Smart Fitness operates at the Kenwick Studio and out of the Columbus Dance Theatre…read more The Columbus Dance Theatre location has the Ballet for Rookies class, while the Kenwick Studio hosts workshops and the Body Buzz classes. Ballet for Rookies is a class that is accessible to all levels and ages. Christina, the owner/instructor, does an amazing job teaching and encouraging students! She brings her years of experience (professional) and education (MFA in Dance) to create a fun and challenging class. Christina encourages creativity and playfulness. I've always worried about looking silly while exercising, but I felt at ease in this class (and dare I say, occasionally I felt as graceful as a dancer?). She cues modifications for differing levels and she is great about correcting form. You can tell she wants her students to enjoy the class and be safe while doing it so that they can dance for many years to come! I've taken many Barre classes, but secretly felt that they were more of an aerobics class (or the jazzercise for the new millennium). I loved that these classes focused solely on ballet! In no way did it feel like less of a workout. You will definitely feel it in your legs the next morning!

I started off going to the Ballet for Every Body class on Tuesday nights on the recommendation of a…read morefriend. I'm not much of a dancer, and ballet doesn't appeal to me that much, but this friend recommended it so highly that I gave it a shot. Christina Providence, the teacher, is amazing. She encourages everyone to get comfortable in their bodies, and, as simple as this sounds, has had a profound impact on my life. It turned out I had all these injuries that Christina helped me realize and then work through. The basic upshot is that she leads us through lots of restorative routines (aka, a lot of laying on the floor or rolling around) that have more or less completely healed up all sorts of chronic injuries I had from years of playing sports, being in front of the computer, and general tension. So, the Tuesday night Ballet for EveryBody class is a great place to start. It's really affordable, accessible, etc. I'd thought that the other classes were probably too specialized for me. But, about a year ago, I entered into a really stressful period of my life that unfortunately isn't showing signs of letting up any time soon. Christina recommended that I try the Monday night class, which she said was pretty good for stress-reduction. It's AMAZING. We do typical pilates things on the equipment but also a lot of restorative things like short meditations, and things that feel very relaxing (again, a lot of lying on the floor) but that are actually really good at releasing tension and even strengthening. I legitimately credit this class with helping me manage this incredibly stressful thing in my life. I played competitive sports until I was 26, and, even at my peak, I had a stubbornly weak and puffy core. Now, at 34, weight management is easier than its ever been, and I'm pretty strong and lean. I honestly think this is because of the precise exercises we do in the classes I've taken here. Oh--I also get reiki now, once a month, from a different practitioner, also named Christina, and it's been amazing as well. The best way for me to explain it is that the effects of it last a lot longer than a regular massage. It also helped stop me from grinding my teeth at night. Anyway. I wrote so much here because I really can't recommend this highly enough. I feel like this studio taught me how to listen to my body, and that's no small feat. I should also mention that there is no body shaming, ever, and that strikes me as unique. They never rush, they meet you exactly where you are, and the teachers I've taken classes from all seem genuinely excited to be there. So, yeah. I'm a Core Poetry Evangelist, basically, because I started off as a skeptic and the classes there have helped me immensely.

I'm nearly 61 and stronger and healthier than I've ever been. They helped me lose 70 lbs which was cool when I got to walk my daughter down the aisle at her wedding feeling good about myself and not worrying about the pictures to follow. It was even cooler when nearly 3 years later I held my granddaughter in my arms and felt confident I would be healthy and active and functional as she grew up. Enough about me. The concept of small group personal training flat out works. Never more than 5 people to coach so you get personal attention. You also get inspired, pushed, and motivated by the other folks. Worried about your age or your fitness level? Don't be. They make it work. The workouts are varied so you never get bored. Have or had some injuries? Don't worry about it. The coaches will modify anything so you stay healthy (or get better) and still provide you a challenging workout. By the way, I could do a separate review just on how good all the coaches are. Finally I will tell you that I assumed a high level of expertise from the coaches. What I didn't expect was to make friends and feel part of a community like I have and do. Bottom line this place is special. You should check it out.

In order to get back to the level of overall fitness and activity I was used to and achieve new goals, I needed someone who was energetic, motivating and supportive! I was also looking for someone who modeled the services they provide yet, could meet me at my level to start and encourage me even when I am not confident in own ability. I found all of that with Latanya and FFF, whose focus is women over 40, but open to anyone who wants to improve their fitness. The one-on-one weight training, small group workouts and Saturday morning cardio sets are fun even when they are no nonsense and push you. I still have a long way to go, but because of Latanya's expertise and coaching, I already have improvement in my endurance and strength as well as in my body tone, and muscle definition. She also offers nutritional counseling. I highly recommend Latanya and the new fitness center she will soon be opening.
