This studio has been a game changer for me, my flexibility, balance, and confidence. Everyone at this studio is so kind and welcoming and lovely. I've been able to get back to my regular gym with confidence and the Pilates sessions add to my ability to participate in regular things like hiking and walking for miles without worry. I've learned so much about my small muscles and the difference a lot of focus can make on success. Frankie is very patient with me as I grow into my love for Pilates. This is a commitment I'm making for myself for life - because it's that good. LOVE this studio!

I am not one for working out or a fitness fanatic but I am truly motivated and inspired by her. She creates customized workouts for every session for my fitness level and ability. I feel like I have a celebrity trainer the way she cares about my personal goals and fitness! I highly recommend her to anyone contemplating working out or even if you have started working out, she will take your goals to another level!!

I don't know where to begin with Amy. Her workouts are superb. She goes out of her way to help me…read morewith my weight loss goals. She has viewed all the pictures of the food I eat and provided constructive feedback looking at the photos, her workouts even if they tire me out, eventually keep me energized and I did not experience any sore muscles/injuries. We pretty much chat through the workout and in Amy I have found not only a fantastic trainer, but a great listener (talk of a psychologist and trainer in one, physical and mental health taken care of :D ), a wonderful friend and mostly a fantastic human being. A little more about the workouts - they are each different from the other, so it never gets boring/mundane. Her outdoor workouts are tiring but very effective. She takes a lot of care about the health issues her clients have and reads up on them and what kind of workouts are needed to best suit those requirements. A combination of strength, HIIT and cardio makes workouts a lot of fun! Mostly, I just feel really good about myself and my body at the end of the day. Thank you Amy!

If you're looking for a personal training studio in Columbus that actually cares, Lionheart Fitness…read moreis it. I've trained at a lot of gyms, but nothing compares to the support, accountability, and results I've experienced here. Located in Italian Village, Lionheart offers private personal training and small group training (no more than 3 people), which means no waiting for equipment, no overcrowded classes--just focused, intentional workouts with knowledgeable trainers who push you while keeping it safe and effective. The vibe is unmatched. The trainers are professional but fun, and the community here feels like family. Everyone is genuinely here to grow, and it shows. Whether you're getting back into fitness or looking to level up your strength, this gym will meet you where you're at. I started with their free consultation and fitness assessment and was impressed by how personalized the whole process was. They also offer helpful nutrition guidance to keep you on track between sessions. Highly recommend if you're in the Columbus area and serious about your health and fitness goals!

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.
