My friend has been going to Southpaw for a couple of years now. She finally talked me into going to…read morethe 6a class with her. The signage for the gym is hard to find. I didn't notice it out front. There were a bunch of foodtrucks in the lot that was confusing. Luckily I saw my friend's car and parked near the back of the building. There is a sign on the door but it is a non-descript building. Inside is a cute simple gym space. There are bags, a small ring, some clothes for sale, a place to put your items, and the front desk. The instructor was really nice and showed me the basic punches that we would be working through. The class was great. I felt like I got a great workout even if I didn't get all the combos perfectly. The instructor came over and gave helpful advice and was attentive to the class. I am glad I got to experience this gym. It was fun and gave off a great welcoming vibe for newcomers.

I've been coming here twice a week for about a month now. Absolutely love it!! I'm somebody who…read moreusually hates exercising and find it hard to keep going. Southpaw has been so welcoming and encouraging to me, the owner, Eric knew me by name the first class and all the trainers are constantly helping and encouraging. I've never been made to feel guilty if there's something I can't keep up with, they give us alternatives so we keep ourselves moving. Always an awesome workout and feel so proud of myself when I'm done! Highly recommend!

I've been training at Ronin for a few months now and I'm absolutely addicted to it. I'm studying…read moreBJJ and Muay Thai, and I occasionally get a workout in there. I've also started my older son in kids BJJ. I wanted to wait a few months before I reviewed. Below are a few high points of my experience at Ronin in no particular rank order. 1. Family atmosphere. Everyone there is welcoming and warm. I've been utterly shocked at how helpful and friendly everyone is, from the staff and trainers, to my fellow students. It's a tough thing to walk into a legit fight gym for the first time. It's also extremely humbling. My experience at Ronin so far in just a few short months has already positively impacted my mental health and the way I approach life. It's quite unbelievable. 2. World class instruction. BJJ is where I spend the most time. How truly lucky is Columbus, OH to have Vitor Oliveira, a world champion Jiu Jitsu competitor, teaching here? Vitor is a machine on the mats in competition and has dedicated his life to Jiu Jitsu. But he's also a fantastic coach. However, the culture he has instilled is what stands out to me the most. A fish out of water if what it feels like the first class you attend, but every single student of his has been welcoming to me, non-judgemental and extremely helpful. Everyone is truly interested in each others progression. Laurah Hallock, who manages the gym, is the only female black belt in Columbus, and she is also a fantastic instructor. For women considering BJJ, they have a womens only class once per week and the other classes are coed. BJJ is the ultimate equalizer to strength, so women considering self defense should consider it first and foremost before anything else. For Muay Thai, Aaron Bogg's class has the same feel. Aaron has a knack for instruction and he's also serious about his students progress. He made me feel comfortable within 10 seconds of my first class. I'd love to have more time for Muay Thai. The same culture is prevalent in his class. 3. Kids BJJ. I've started my older son in kids BJJ and the instruction and class format for the little ones is perfect. If you want your kids to learn discipline, patience, impulse control and be able to truly defend themselves in this crazy world, look no further than Jiu Jitsu. They sort the class by age group, so the little ones don't get mixed in with the bigger kids. Sarah, Des, Sal and others do a great job keeping it fun with games and drills that develop important skills and knowledge at the same time. They're putting in showers right now which is a bonus. They also have a weight training area, a boxing ring and an MMA ring. Boxing classes, Judo, Yoga, Kids Wrestling and a Ronin Fit class are also taught at Ronin. If you have any doubt about where the best train, visit Ronin and see for yourself.

There are a number of top ranked competitors that train here. I was involved in a number of Martial Arts systems up into my 30s but I hadn't practiced anything since. Now being in my 50s I got the itch to get involved again but I wasn't interested in competing again. I wanted a more practical self-defense system to learn. I chose Krav Maga and I'm so glad I did. I have learned so much and had so much fun. Casey Boyer is an excellent instructor and the Krav team is a very friendly and fun group. The Krav Maga classes have really hit the spot! If you're searching for a training center, then I'd give Ronin a try. I think you'll be impressed too.

The owner "Rob" was too shy to ask if I was paying my gym dues, so he kept asking my last name…read more When I signed up I told him I'd be paying via cashapp so the name wouldn't be the same. So he decided to take a years worth of payments. Then kick me out, and not even prorate my money. Classy. And decided to kick out anyone I was training with, just out of the blue one day. And I have a recording of every time I trained there. The way he speaks to ppl. Couldn't ask for a worse boxing ambassador..... again, personally, never been to such a hostile gym with a negative environment. But that's IMHO. Some ppl like that type of place I suppose.

This is a gym filled with people from all walks…read moreof life -- young guys who are using boxing for off-season football training, young professionals that are working out stress from the day job, people who get bored at a traditional gym, boxers who are training and competing, and former boxers who are coaching groups and mentoring people up. Every time I've gone in I've found my self-motivation to increase matched or pushed higher by the energy from the staff and the people around me. Learning the form, consistently going back, knowing your limits but not being afraid to push beyond it -- you'll find all of that energy here. I still hold a Snap Fitness membership. It's comfortable. I am committing to Pilger's twice a week just to make sure I'm pushing myself to grow.

I was looking for a good workout and have always been intrigued by boxing! I was nervous because I…read morehave never boxed or kickboxed before, but as soon as I walked in I was warmly greeted, and they showed me the ropes. It was a nice and small class and the instructor was super kind and encouraging (especially when I felt like I was simply going to fall over). She offered modifications for some of the challenging parts, and pushed me enough where I kept trying, but not too hard that I got stressed out. My plan for the month was to test out different gyms and classes and see which ones I prefer, but I really loved this class. It was a killer workout, I learned new stuff, and had a lot of fun! I plan to be back!

This facility is incredible!…read more Everyone I have met in there is super helpful and kind, and all of the trainers are epic. I can get in whenever I want with the 24/7 keycard access and it's never too busy. With the recent additions of the new furnace, air conditioning, extra air filtration system, and the sauna, it's really a one stop shop for wellness. It's never too hot or cold, I can get in and hit a quick cardio session before moving to my sets and circuits. James keeps his equipment and machines in top shape, and only sources the best of the best. I always leave feeling like a million bucks! I really can't recommend The Warehouse enough, it's a home away from home.

The class schedule is spread throughout the day, with most of the classes fall on weekdays.

As we walked in, I started to get a little anxious. I saw the big heavy bags, gloves, and medicine balls...what was I getting into?! But Eric gave us a warm welcome. He explained the workout and get us going right away. 9Rounds is a boxing, kicking boxing, and circuit workout. Each stations is marked 1-9 and has a white board with an exercise listed. There's one timer for everyone that sounds at 2:30 and then at 3 minutes. And there's always a coach there, offering support. You workout individually, one person per circuit. One thing I loved: no set class time. Pick any time they're open and come on it. Now who can't make that work?! We made an appointment since it was our first time. But as a member, you can go in any time. You just hop in at the beginning of the next round and off you go. Since it was our first time, Eric spent some time showing us proper form. After two rounds, we put on gloves and got to hit the heavy bags. At 2:30 the timer sounds and you go all out. Then at 3 minutes Eric called out an exercise for everyone like high knees, jumping jacks or plank. We did that 30 seconds then moved on to the next circuit. Three minutes felt like eternity for some circuits. But I pushed myself and kept going. At the end, I had some a sense of accomplishment. Not only did I learn something new, but I got a great workout too. If you're looking for a challenging workout, personal coaching, and even nutritional guidance then this is your answer. Your first class is free! So there's no excuse not to go check it out.
