It's run by Michael, who has mastered the art of motivating without sounding like a drill sergeant. He genuinely wants to see his clients succeed, so whatever your goals are -- strength training, conditioning, Spartan runs, marathons -- he can tailor workout routines that will help you achieve them. People of all skill sets and body types work out alongside you, and no one has an ego -- EVERYONE is incredibly supportive of each other, and it will only take a few classes for you to feel like you're part of the family. Classes are set up using a reservation system, so there's no more than 8 people allowed in one time slot. This makes it easy for Michael to give you the individualized attention you need -- which is absolutely vital if you're new to weight lifting and need guidance on proper form. There's a set list that varies from day to day, week to week, so EVERY part of your body gets worked on. A membership averages out to less than $10 a class, so it's absolutely affordable. You just gotta come ready and willing to give it your all!

I wanted to wait at least a month before giving The Natatorium a review. I have worked out over 25…read moretimes at this facility since I joined in the middle of December. So, I have been a member of many gyms over my lifetime. I use to live in LA and have been a member at high end gyms all the way to your middle of the road. The same goes for here in NE Ohio. I will honestly say I am very happy with The Natatorium. The customer service I have received has been great, the gym and locker room has always been clean, the equipment has always been functioning properly and the people have been pretty cool making it a great environment to get a good workout in. I really love the fact that this facility has a wide array of machines, free weights, Hammer Strength equipment, basketball and racquetball courts. I also love that there are many stations where you can squat and also a place to deadlift which I have found in the past has been frowned upon in some gyms. Another plus is the fact this facility has an upstairs with tons of cardio equipment, an ab area and a track that you can choose to walk or run. Just pay attention to the lane that you are suppose to be in and the direction it changes daily. I almost forgot about the steam room and the pool area if you want to take a dip or swim some laps. When your workout is done you can buy some smoothies, sandwiches, coffee and açaí bowls at Sandy Bottom Bowls. I have purchased a few items and they have been pretty darn good. My favorite is the PB@A Bowl. Make sure you get one of the cards and get it stamped at every purchase. I believe after 10 items you get a free bowl. So far I am very happy with The Natatorium and look forward to many more epic workouts. Thanks!

The best way for me to sum it up is that I've never been a morning person, and now I look forward to the 6am class. The best part is that no one cares if you're young, old, in shape, out of shape, obese or skinny. They're happy you showed up, and they're rooting for you to succeed. If you want to be healthier than before, and be part of a community that genuinely supports your efforts, c'mon over. You'll like it here.

I started going to Luke's morning classes with my sister and neighbor. My sister warned me before I started, "careful... it's addictive." Not usually one for group fitness classes, I smirked and signed up. Started at a couple days a week - now I try to go every week day morning. My day feels off if I skip. Luke pushes you without being too aggressive. And the energy he brings to the studio is the best way to start the day. Don't think about it. Just do it. But remember... it's addictive.

There have been instances of unprofessional conduct, including subtle antagonizing and disrespect toward paying members. What's more concerning is the apparent lack of accountability. These behaviors are either overlooked or not addressed, which creates an uncomfortable atmosphere for those simply trying to focus on their health and fitness. In my opinion, a gym should be a place of discipline, respect, and personal growth. I hope management takes these concerns seriously and reinforces a higher standard of professionalism among staff.

When I first joined, they had a promotion allowing two free guests and the membership cost was just over $20 per month. The gym was always crowded, and it was difficult to find available equipment--most of the time, it was either broken or occupied. The front desk staff rarely greeted me, which made the environment feel pretty impersonal. Eventually, I left for a cheaper gym (that unfortunately didn't have a hot tub) but found myself returning to Esporta specifically for their hot tub and sauna amenities. However, this turned out to be a frustrating decision. More than five times, I drove there only to find that one or both of those amenities were out of order. This isn't an isolated issue--it's quite common. When I returned after canceling my membership, I found that they had removed the free guest passes and raised the monthly fee by several dollars, yet I noticed no improvements in their facilities or services. Honestly, I'd recommend paying a bit more each month to go somewhere like the Natatorium in the Falls or even Planet Fitness. You'll likely have a much better experience than what Esporta offers. Save yourself the headache and look elsewhere.
