Come life with me friends, this place is sweet.

The warm ups and cool downs are exactly what I would want based on that days workout. Each day has had a nice balance of conditioning and strength work.

Group size varies based on time but usually 5-10 based on my preferred time. Coaches care and keep a close eye on maintaining good form, proper weight selection for workouts, and telling you to get back to work when you want to stop but not in a intimidating way. Young old male female overweight malnourished....doesn't matter. I've never before been at a gym that try's so hard to help you feel comfortable, safe, and welcome. I only write reviews when I'm really impressed so if your thinking about trying something new try this place.

I've worked with four of them, plus met another coach and also the owner. They have all proved to be very knowledgeable, helpful, and supportive. They were picky about form, which I was glad of. I'd rather do it right from the get go and not have to correct bad habits later. I need soooo much scaled and every coach has been amazing at that. Really, it's every scary thing I thought it would be and yet also NOT any scary thing I thought it could be....at the same time. How can that be? I will tell you: it's because it is oh so challenging in a place that is safe and supportive. Where trying your best when you totally are struggling to complete something brings a total stranger over to clap for you and tell you "you can do it!" I really like this place.

When my husband and I agreed that this year we'd find a new way to get active and fit, I decided to…read moregive CrossFit another look. Like some folks, I had the misconception that it was only for people who were already athletic and that I'd be pressured to live a specific kind of lifestyle or follow a prescriptive diet. However, between the positive reviews and the low risk 101 classes for beginners, we figured that it was worth a shot to try it out for ourselves and see if we liked it. We started the Crossfit 101 at the end of January 2022 and by the time we finished our last on-ramp class, we were all in! It felt so good to get active, but what really made us decide to stick with it is the positive vibe in the CrossFit Clintonville community. The coaches are all encouraging and eager to impart their wisdom, and they stress good technique and meeting yourself where you're at over "going hard" and risking injury just to get PRs. Other CrossFitters were welcoming and cheer each other on. At 3+ months in, we're both hooked and get to class 3x/week. I've been blown away by how far I've come physically--just a few months shy of my 40th birthday and I'm able to do (modified) push-ups like I have never ever been able to do even when I was working out in a gym and running 9 miles a week in my 20s! The facility is nice and open, the equipment is well maintained, and it's in a really convenient location to the Clintonville and adjacent areas. CFC, you've got a fan in me!

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).

As with Jamie who also posted a three star, I felt this atmosphere in the Clintonville SOS was…read moreconducive to competent, enthusiastic instruction and surprisingly unpretentious clientele. It simply is not gauged to my fitness goals and metabolic profile. I am interested in maintaining muscle and bone mass and keeping my weight on an even keel. This system does neither. It is all about tone and high-rep, intense cardio and light weights. Classes are often so overbooked I was not even able to schedule the "Ebb and Flow" to check it out on an introductory package. It seems designed almost purely for late 20's 30's and early 40's professionals. The intensity increased my hunger and had me gaining significant weight in a fairly short time. SOS needs to do a profile on people's fitness goals and be real about it. There is almost no help on that as in a regular gym. Summarized, I would call it well-run but too narrow for a wide swathe of people. It's expensive too. I only pay 30 dollars for the locally owned Columbus Sports Connection a mile away and they have yoga, fitness, and indoor bike classes that don't fill up. I am glad I tried SOS but it has proven itself incompatible with my fitness goals.

The instruction is fantastic. Each athlete goes at a pace that works for them and there is zero pressure to do more than you are ready for. Each workout has different difficulty levels so you can choose what is right for you, and the coaches are always willing to help modify if needed. I thought I was getting good workouts at home, but it doesn't compare to my workouts with SHRED. It has helped me push myself (in a good way). I highly recommend SHRED.
