I've been a member of the noble method since Feb 24 now and I absolutely love it! There are three…read moredifferent types of classes you can choose from that all are 30 minutes. There's SWITCH, a HITT/strength training circuit class. Then there's SCULPT, a Pilates like class that focuses a little more on strength. Lastly there's SPAR, a cardio class that switches between boxing and treadmills. All three classes are a challenging and rewarding workout despite being only 30 minutes. The instructors here really take the time to know you, help you, and motivate you. There is definitely a strong sense of community with the studio. The space is clean and aesthetic. They have bathrooms with showers that include both towels and soap. There are lockers everyone can use and lock to hold their stuff without any worry of theft. There is also a coffee bar that serves a variety of drinks, smoothies, and little snacks. I cannot recommend Noble method enough. I used to stay clear from group fitness classes but have learned to fall in love with them once I tried the two week trial here.

Overall, this was exactly what I was looking for in terms of personalized, inclusive training for…read morepeople nervous about gyms. Detailed pros and cons (price was the big one) for me laid out below. It was about a year ago that I left FE but i forgot to share this at the time; note that things may have changed since I left. PRO Unlike places like Club Pilates, the waitlist works pretty well but it wasn't difficult to regularly attend the same classes without even using waitlists. There were a few classes that worked really well with a 9-5 schedule. CON The cost was significant for me for a place you can't go to outside of scheduled classes. I totally get this is cheaper than one on one training and the quality is extremely high, but when friends and family asked me how much my training classes were, every single answer I gave was met with shock. While FE staff is very friendly and easy to talk to about membership, the absolute cheapest I could make work was the longest commitment. If you come from a two-income household this would be more reasonable, but as a one-income single person, it was not sustainable for me. There were weird moments for me personally, because there were specific "bring/tell your friends" promotional weeks, but all my friends are low-paid teachers and could never afford this. When I started to have some medical expenses and more recently a new car payment, there was no way I could keep paying for this (FYI they were very kind and willing to let me out of membership early). PRO This is a very high quality training experience with kind, personable trainers who are educated, tactful, and observant about who is in their class. For every class, the trainer prepares specific weights and routines that are personalized for every single person signed up. The equipment/space provided and sanitizing expectations are great, down to the number of weights, the individual stations, and the timers. CON There were more (simple things!) instructors could have done to create community. While people were never rude to me, many times when I went to a class with an instructor for the first time (new class time/new instructor for me) -- and this includes my very first class ever -- the instructors didn't facilitate/encourage introductions to the regulars, despite knowing I was new to that class. The class then felt very cliquey, because everyone else knew each other and had inside jokes. I'm an introvert and definitely struggled with that dynamic. CON Though I arrived appropriately early, many times I found I still would be the last one to class -- to the point where everyone else had almost finished warmups. That's supposed to be the point of including the warmup in the class time! I would then be behind the others the entire workout. It's not a competition, but it was difficult to not feel that way sometimes. CON I felt that the onboarding didn't fully click with me for the progression of the sequences in a class, or maybe that was my first class's instructor's fault. I did not understand at all the A then B then interval sequence back and forth, and was extremely confused as to what to do after each one for my first two-ish weeks. This rectified itself over time but I didn't even fully understand what I didn't understand. PRO There are supplemental (mostly paid) opportunities to take advantage of, from special classes to nutrition help to various video content pieces. PRO This is a small business, and the owner is very personable and easy to talk to about membership questions or concerns throughout your time there. Even though i didn't feel intentionally welcomed by the other classgoers, the instructors themselves were all very friendly and genuine.

He definitely took accountability for the issues that I have experienced. At the end of our conversation, he offered a few approaches to fix the ongoing issues that had occurred. I must say that in today's world, it was refreshing to have someone so willing to listen and understand where the customer is coming from. Brian was extremely professional, and because of his approach, he definitely talked me into working with him and SZ again. I will give SZ another chance and continue to be a customer.

My problem is I never stretch before and after a workout and that's probably why I've wound up with so many sports injuries throughout my life. I can only blame myself and learn from the past to start stretching more pre and post workout. Stretch Zone really focused on the areas I needed the most stretching and it really helped pre-workout. I felt more calm and relaxed going into my workout after stretching thanks to the Stretch Zone. If your looking for a good stretch on any part of your body parts, contact Stretch Zone!

I use ClassPass to go to this gym from time to time. This is just your average gym with a decent…read moreamount of equipment. It's never too crowded so you can find space to do your workout. The equipment is older and you'll see the wear and tear on them, which is fine with me. The employees are alright. I've met some that are super nice and friendly and some that just check you in and don't really converse with you. The bathrooms are definitely older than most and it could be more well kept. I also wish there were paper towels in the bathrooms! Overall, if you need to get a workout in and don't exactly care about the aesthetics of the gym, this is your place!

I had only taken one other equipment Pilates class before attending Studio86 and I was not sure…read morewhat to expect. I enjoyed every minute of my time here. The Pilates Reformer class was challenging, but not in a way that makes you feel overwhelmed or defeated. Heather is a fantastic instructor. She gives clear and motivating instruction. I really appreciated how she gives form and technique corrections, so you know that you are doing the exercises safely and correctly. The class size was small which I preferred as a beginner. I am already looking forward to my next class here!

Oh my God I just came back and relived my childhood yesterday with the jump fitness class. Whoever…read morethought jumping on a trampoline could not only be fun childhood memory but also a workout at the same time? Genius idea! That's where Studio 86 comes along. They had just opened last year in March right as the pandemic hit so their business didn't get a lot of attention until just recently with the jump fitness class. The instructor had come to Pretentious Barrel House to do the class. I cannot wait to come back to Studio 86 not only do they have the jump fitness classes but also the pilates reformers. Pay them some love and support local fitness businesses as they could definitely use the love now. Plus you won't regret it, you might even relive your fun childhood days on the trampoline!!

BOSS is the best workout experience I've ever had…read more I've worked out consistently since I was a freshman in high school (that was 2000). I was one of those kids in college that got up and went to the Rec before class to run suicides or lift weights. The first thing I did when I moved to Columbus was join a gym - before I even had an apartment. I've joined Boss a year ago and I'm not sure I've done the same exercise twice. Not exaggerating at all. No one is sulking around, there are no cell phones, theres ZERO judgement. It's impossible to have a bad workout here. There's abundant energy and motivation. The grueling workouts are fun and the time flies. I'm a better person everytime I walk out of the building. Taj and James are important people in my life. They both push and care about me. I talk business with James after workouts. Neighborhoods and real estate with Taj. They ask if everything is ok if I miss a couple days. I admire every single person that is a member at BOSS. They all push themselves, they dont judge themselves or others, they are tremendous leaders, and more so than anything they are tremendous humans. I see no reason to ever workout anywhere else.

I've been a member of BOSS for over two years. Each workout is customized to you by James (Master…read moreTrainer).
