I've been attending the Spot for a year now, and the quality of training cannot be beat…read more Previous to joining The Spot I had a couple years experience of doing crossfit. My primary goals are to stay fit, learn to lift weights, and improve my health in a way that was fun. I get bored and side tracked easily. I like group classes because the regular schedule and coaching keeps me on task and committed. If you are someone who is looking at crossfit or had done it before, and you're looking for something that makes sense but is a generalized routine, this is the place for you. The only difference is that The Spot actually makes sense. Their training routines are designed to get you fit in an intelligent way, not in a way that is unnecessarily intense and frustrating for the sake of being intense. What really impresses me about The Spot is their intelligent and insightful coaches. I have learned and changed a lot about my body and body mechanics since being here. On my first day a coach noticed my back was hurting from a lift and we have since spent the last year being given the appropriate exercises I needed to lift properly and utilize muscles that were previously under utilized. I'm no longer riddled with constant back pain from working out. The quality of my lifts such as front and back squats and deadlifts have improved because I am using my core to stabilize now. The GAINZ have been more than what I have lifted on the bar, but also how well it feels now. The primary set up of a workout session at the Spot goes as such: warm up, main lifting block, then 2 or 3 circuits focused on accessories and conditioning. It's impossible to feel bored. Much of the accessory work involves balance and stability exercises, which I have noticed have really paid off especially in the leg strength environment. The place is very open to a range of body types and back grounds. I've never been very athletic, but all the exercises are designed so that everyone is doing the same thing and no one is ever ahead or behind, yet everyone is being appropriately challenged. I exercise alongside incredible athletes, and I also get to watch new comers get a great workout while being included with the class the whole time. I highly recommend The Spot. I will probably be attending as long as I am in Columbus and The Spot is open. My favorite coaches are Billy, Steve, Levi, Jay, and Maeve. They all know their stuff. They know how to be encouraging. They now how to be patient and listen to you. They're all affable and fun. The owner is very passionate about what he does.

Cale is a great trainer and the junior/senior classes are well run and the class size is perfect for the kids to learn and grow as athletes. Of late, they have been taking Billy's class on Friday and he's incredible. He really hones in on the small details and gets the best out of both of them. Anna is a new instructor and is great as well, has a lot of enthusiasm and attention to detail as well. Claire is a rock star for communication and getting their accounts set up. Highly recommend for all ages, from youth to the adults, the instructors care about their members and want them all to get the most out of their experiences.

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 have been an SOSer for 5 years now. Which makes it shocking that I'm just now getting around to…read morewriting review, especially since I'm such a mega-fan! I first heard about SOS from a few folks when I worked at L Brands. They had a few loyal customers with whom I worked. To be honest, I was a little intimidated when I'd see these folks post about their workouts on social media. I had thought about trying it circa 2017, but was too intimidated (my loss!). But in 2019, I ended up with a stress fracture while marathon training. I was able to barely finish my training for the NYC Marathon, which I did successfully complete in November 2019. But at that point, it was evident that I couldn't just keep running marathons without incorporating strength training into my routine. So in Christmas Week 2019, I started with the 7 class starter pack just to try it out. My first class was The Course with Kelsey. I felt comfortable because I knew Kelsey from work and luckily a few other co-workers happened to be in the class as well. I still remember during the warm up, I was thinking "dang this is tough!" And Kelsey even said "Much different than running a marathon, right Chelsea?!" She couldn't have been more spot on! I ended up feeling like the class was super tough but I was paired up with a coworker who was so supportive and kind (thank you, Shideh, if you're reading this!). By the time my 7 class pass was up, I was hooked and became a monthly member. I even joined Team Tread (their half & full marathon training program) in January to start training for the Nashville Half in April 2020. Unfortunately for me, my SOS morning routines were abruptly halted in March 2020. But luckily, my team tread registration got me into the "digital studio" which I had no idea what it was at the time. I very quickly uncovered that it's all the same studio instructors and they have recorded classes with new uploads almost daily as well as a huge library of online classes (which as you can imagine has only grown in the past 5 years). I did what everyone else was doing and immediately ordered as many dumbbells, resistance bands, and other equipment to build up a "home SOS studio" and my equipment has been growing ever since. I moved to Arizona in summer 2021, and have continued to be a dedicated Digital Studio user and advocate. Whenever I come home to Ohio (whether Cbus or Cincy), I get giddy at the thought of going to classes in person and it's a treat to choose which classes I'll take and with which instructors. I got married in June 2024 and I purchased the "Badass Bride" classes on the Digital Studio. As I was taking them and leaving comments the owner, Gretchen, messaged me and said she wanted to send me an SOS wedding gift. You'd never believe how touched I was to see a SOS tank, hoodie, sweat towel and t-shirt show up the week of my wedding. I'm still so honored by these thoughtful gifts. Someone I've never even met in person (which is hard to believe given how obsessed I am with SOS lol!) went out of their way to make my wedding week all the more special. I can honestly say SOS Digital Studio has helped me get in the best shape of my life. I feel like I personally know all of the trainers (I don't have social media anymore, but when I did, I followed all of them, so again, felt like I kew them personally). When I was in Hawaii for my wedding, SO many people were asking me about my arms and complimenting me. I kept trying to tell them about the DS and how special SOS is. I will always be a dedicated and loyal fan. It's become such a part of my routine that I'm on Christas Break now with my husband in Kansas (where he's from) and I've brought my ankle weights, light weights and loop bands just so I can get some classes in. Thank you, Gretchen and team for helping me be the best version of myself every day! Can't imagine what I'd do without the DS and my SOS training crew! (Only word of advice to newbies- the System DOES work! Don't skip out on any classes. As you can imagine, being a marathon runner, I favored all of the cardio classes. But it wasn't until I really started incorporating High & Tight as I prepared for my wedding that I noticed the chiseled arms that I'd always wanted. It's a well-rounded program that works wonders as long as you incorporate ALL of the classes).

It was my first time there but I got no introduction to the studio or space and didn't feel very welcomed. The class itself was ok - it's under infrared so I got a decent sweat but I'm not sure the workout itself was as hard as my sweat would lead you to believe (no second day soreness). The instructor said it was a old class layout they tried to revamp so I'd be willing to give it another shot but the overall format/moves felt like they were trying to do too much and less cohesive. Four stars mostly based on reputation alone as I've heard great things from others and think it may have been a one off experience.

It's got a nice room to warm up in with large mirrors and dumbbells as well as a cardio area and the weights area. They have a small amount of machines (only 1 of each thing) and they don't have every type of machine so you may need to revise some of your workouts to fit what they do have. The locker room was really nice with big mirrors and showers and lockers that already had locks on them. They also offer hair ties and cotton balls at the vanity if you need them. My main issue was that the gym was kinda dirty at times. There were two days specifically where it looked like someone had a nose bleed and it just was not cleaned for two days. Same with the floor always had hair and dust balls. It's also pretty expensive. I don't live in these apartments so it was 65 a month. Which for me, the gym did not justify that amount. I will say in the summer you get access to the pool that is really nice but always pretty crowded.

I kind of just looked at the person next to me to know what exactly was going on. The instructor helped me with my form a few times which was nice knowing exactly how the certain moves should feel!

I wasn't planning on buying a package (sessions are a tad on the expensive side) but after one class, I am obsessed. The workout was not like anything I have ever done. It taxed literally every muscle in my body. And the sweet drill sergeant instructors help make class a treat. Two days later, I am still incredibly sore. Every move is tiny - you're working the tiniest muscles in your body, which creates a deep strength. I know that after a few sessions, I am going to start to feel ripped. I love the environment, too. The studio is pretty and the music is good. For new students, they have an offer going on right now - $100 for a month unlimited. Given that an individual class is $23, it's worth it. Also, for those who can't afford to attend regular classes, they sell DVDs. Love pure barre. Can't wait to go to my second class tonight!
