If you're looking for a challenging workout, Studio Torch is your spot. The studio is a good size and can accommodate a large class, they have equipment you probably do not have at home such as a ski urg and a rower. I love going to classes where I'm going to get a different workout in than my usual, and Studio Torch is that for me. It's typically a HITT workout, but you can sign up for different types of classes on different days like arms, cardio, or glutes and legs! I like that you can chose- but each day there is definitely a cardio aspect. The instructors are high energy and the atmosphere is intense, great for working out if that's what you like!! I always feel amazing after. There's also MANY times so you will definitely be able to accommodate any schedule. read more

I've been going to Studio Torch since 2019. It's my favorite studio to workout at in Columbus and I could not recommend it enough. Each class is challenging and I do believe that my strength and endurance have both improved significantly. If you're someone who doesn't like running (like me), the great thing about Studio Torch is that you won't be running more than 7 minutes max. The classes are in the form of stations with varying reps, times, distances, and number of times you rotate around the room. The community and staff are also part of why I enjoy it so much. Their weekly schedule is as follows: Monday Arms and Abs, Tuesday Total Body Circuit, Wednesday Butt and Legs, Thursday Total Body Tabata, Friday Cardio and Core, Saturday Total Body, and Sunday Total Body. If you're looking to trial the place, they do a week unlimited for $10! Hands down favorite place to workout. read more

I've been going to StudioTorch through classpass and it is one of my preferred studios to get a killer workout in. Honestly, it does seem very intimidating your first couple of times. Every time I walk in everyone just looks so "fit" and knows what they're doing. Don't be afraid to ask questions! The employees are so nice. There are different stations such as treadmill, tower, TRX, weights, etc. It varies each time, but the instructors are good at explaining it. They've been good about extra sanitization because you keep the same spray bottle and towel with you the whole time so you won't touch what everyone else is touching. You also hang your keys so you won't have to take it around with you. It truly is a killer workout and I would recommend it. Get there 10 minutes early if you can incase you have any questions and you don't want to miss the demonstrations! read more

StudioTorch is a welcome addition to the Columbus fitness scene. Think of it almost as a combination of Orangetheory, Title and an awesome wait lifting class. The studio is still fairly new, but it is in a great location with plenty of parking. They have a ton of equipment, most of it from Rogue, which is awesome cause not only are they supporting another Columbus business, but it's also quality workout equipment. Most of their classes consist of 5-6 rounds that last anywhere from 20 sec- 3 minutes and include a variety of exercises. Each day is a different workout, today was Abs and Arms and the also have Cardio and Core, Total Body and Burt and Leg days. Every workout I've done there has been different and I always leave sweating and shaking. I will say that the different stations and the time limit make it difficult to get yourself to the next station before the clock starts the next round which often results in missing a little bit of the round and working out for less time. Expect to spend about 45 min on the actual workout depending on the day. There's usually 5-10 minutes of warm up and exercise demonstration at the start of the class and it concludes with a cool down stretch. All of the coaches are very enthusiastic and spend plenty of time helping and encouraging you through the class. Towels are provided for your use during the class and there are drinking fountains. The 5am week day class is rarely full, but the 6:15 is usually pretty crowded. read more

StudioTorch - Interval Training Gyms Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

I can't say enough good things about studio torch. I've only gone to this gym during the pandemic, so I'm unsure what to compare it to but I will say they go through extensive cleaning measures during the pandemic. We carry around individual spray bottles and towels from station to station and they do a full clean down in between each class. So every person is cleaning multiple times through class and they clean as a whole after and before. The instructors are wonderful. I only go every Monday for arms and abs but I love that class and can't wait to continue to go! I also can't wait to try the other classes, when I'm brave enough! Also they have extremely accessible parking options with tons of spaces. read more

Best workout in Columbus. I've been going here for 4 years and I can't imagine joining any other gym. Awesome instructors, amazing workout, best music and motivators! I look forward to class every week! read more

I have been taking classes at Studio Torch for probably at least 2 years now on and off. About 6 months ago I finally became a regular committed member. I find that it is the perfect blend of challenging yet I don't feel like I'm so dead I can't come back the next day and I am able to stay consistent. As an ex crossfitter, Orange Theory member, (and at least a handful of other studios).. Studio Torch is just the perfect blend of it all. You will definitely find instructors here who care and inspire you to give it all you've got. Most of them play really great motivating music as well. I love it! ‍ read more

If I had written this review after my initial experience, it would have looked a lot like the others they've received. But over time, I have fallen out of love with this place. It's probably more a "it's me, not you" situation as I realized the structure of the classes just don't keep me engaged me as other studios around town. You will definitely leave sweating, though, because the HIIT workouts keep you challenged! The structure of the classes is a series of stations that you rotate among. There is a variety of equipment including treadmills, rowers, TRX straps, free weights and kettle bells. Depending on the day, there is a different focus and you know prior to getting there what you signed up for. The instructor takes the first 5-10 min of class demoing the moves. What I started to not love about these workouts is you typically have 15 seconds to rotate, so it's rare for me to get the entire time for the exercises - which could be as little as 45 at a station. Additionally, the short rotation window leaves no time to wipe down equipment. The lobby of the studio is clean, but I wouldn't say the workout area is clean, unless you go to the first class of the day. And even then, it gets gross as the class progresses. I guess I just don't find it fun to get to a station to find a sweaty mat there waiting for me. I do appreciate that they offer free towel usage to everyone, though. If you are looking to shake up your workout routine, I would recommend doing the free trial or booking a class through ClassPass. You'll definitely get in a good sweat and burn some calories. read more

StudioTorch has a challenging format! I have tried out several different facilities. This one has me hustling and burning calories like no other. I enjoy the variety of stations offered per class, the mix of cardio and strength training as well as that no two classes are ever the same! read more

Columbus is a great city for fitness -- there are studios and new spots popping up consistently so it makes it hard to stand out from the crowd, or worse, keep a clientele. However, StudioTorch is a place that once you try, you don't want to quit. The no-two-days are the same workouts, the HIIT format and mix of cardio and weights pack a powerful punch for those looking to really sweat. Additionally, the trainers are motivating without being too "in your face." They understand proper form and are eager to see you meet your goals. The studio is kept clean and parking is never an issue! The app makes it super simple to schedule classes and often, they run great package sales that (also) keep you coming back. Looking for your next workout? Look no further. read more

Absolutely obsessed with this place! I recently moved to a new city and one of the hardest feats has been finding another gym as special as this place! The workouts are intense enough that those who regularly train will get something out of it, but also a good fit for those who are easing back into working out. The instructors show you how to modify the circuits to fit whatever level you train at. I did the unlimited monthly package. I really liked the efficiency of it. I never had to worry about planning my workouts, and could just dedicate one hour of my day, show up, and know that I'd be leave the workout feeling like it was a "good one" each time. I definitely recommend anyone try a class! That's really all you need to do to be sold. Many of my friends were dragged to a class with me using StudioTorch's promo week, and almost all of them ended up returning/joining the gym. The workouts are fun, the environment is positive and encouraging, and the instructors are both helpful and friendly. I loved going to Kelly's classes! read more

I have nothing but good things to say about this place! Killer 1 hour workout that everyone walks out looking like a sweaty mess. All of the trainers are very friendly and extremely motivating. Although, i am partial to Tori's playlist because listening to hip hop while working out, always puts me in a better mood. Ryann at the front desk is very sweet and greets everyone by name. All of the class attendees are very friendly and no one is overly competitive but watching them work hard, makes everyone want to push to work hard as well. Their class schedule is staggered at different times, so I can always make a class whether I get off work later or on time. I love that they give you a free week to try the studio out, every day is something different and you need that week to see if this is something you want to commit to. Even though I knew by day 3 I was ready to sign up for unlimited monthly! read more

I've been working out here for the past week and absolutely love it! Unfortunately I live in LA but I'm happy that I now have a great fitness center to go to when I come back to Columbus to visit my parents. Coming from the gym/ fitness mecca of the U.S. (Los Angeles), I have pretty high standards when it comes to fitness centers- this place blew me away. Super friendly, un-intimidating staff and clientele alike! I also got some of the hardest work outs ever. Can't wait to come back next time I'm visiting! read more

Amazing workout where you are guaranteed to drip sweat as well as be incredibly sore the next day. My favorite days are the total body workouts because it truly is a total body workout. The workout goes so fast because everything is broken down into small time slots. It's just enough to get your heart rate to the max before you switch to something else. It is not hard on your body like cross fit, but still gives you a workout that you know your body is changing from. Prices are also comparable to other group fitness gyms in Columbus. Check them out! read more

I love this place! The tabatas class was amazing. The 20 second intervals were perfect for pushing yourself harder (you can do anything for 20 seconds, right?). I was really impressed with the equipment. The facility was so clean and nice. I was especially impressed with the cart full of toiletries in the bathrooms and the outlets with chargers in the cubbies (genius!!). The staff could not be more friendly and nice. The workouts vary, so it's really well rounded. I already can't wait to go back and try something else. Highly highly recommend! read more

I can't get enough of this place! StudioTorch has an ideal schedule that focuses on different body parts each day. They're also always adding new moves into the class. This helps to keep me coming back because I tend to get bored with workout routines very easily. The most important thing... the trainers are so motivating and really personable! Definitely worth checking out if you're looking for something new to try! read more

I have been working out regularly for years and I am SO SORE from the class I took at StudioTorch yesterday. The hour went by so quickly with the varying circuits and the workout was awesome. Will definitely be back. read more

Fantastic Studio. I currently live in LA and I've yet to find a class as good as this. Their instructors are energetic and knowledgeable, the music is great, and I felt a runners high after their Friday "cardio and core". Can't wait to take another class. read more

Studiotorch is a great work out. I always feel so accomplished when I leave. Your heart will be racing the entire time but that's how you know your body is changing. I would recommend all levels. read more

This is now apart of my weekly routine. No class is ever the same and I love it! From the build out of the studio, the instructors, and the equipment. I love the treads, the rowers, and how clean the keep it day in and day out. I always go with the unlimited classes for a month which now includes 2PM yoga on Sunday's! read more

Took my first class here this morning and I loved it. I took the full body class but they offered other classes throughout the week targeted to different groups. I like that because realistically you could go there every day. It was super clean and the staff was very welcoming and warm. I loved the music they played and the trainers were very helpful and fun. Can't wait to go back! read more

It's truly unbelievable how good of a workout you get in such a short amount of time. I was used to spending 2 hours a day at the gym but now I go to Torch and get an even better workout in half the time. Not to mention it has got me in the best shape of my life. It puts orange theory, SOS and the other class based gyms to shame. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! read more

Hands down best studio that I have been to in Columbus! I travel here frequently for work and will now be coming here as much as I can. I loved the teacher and the music was awesome as well. Lots of parking as well! read more

I'm not from the area and happened to pop in when they were getting for their opening. The classes are amazing!! The trainers are so nice and welcoming and willing to help you on your form. I took a cardio core class and two Tabata classes and I wish I could stay longer in the area to have a membership at the studio! They work with you on your level and it's not intimating at all like some other HIIT studios! read more

Obsessed! I always look forward to these classes and never leave feeling like I didn't get a good workout. Everyday is different, music is good, and instructors are helpful and uplifting. Would recommend to anyone because you can modify or work to your comfort level/needs read more

Studio Torch is my go to work-out joint! Great staff, killer workout, and the work outs never gets old. Highly recommend!

I just went to a class here because they were offering a free week pass! This place is awesome! Everything is clean and new, the trainers are motivating and educated, and the music was fantastic. I left feeling like I just did a 2 hour workout but it was less than an hour. Can't wait to go back! read more

This is an amazing work out and just what I was looking for. It's somewhat like a combination of Crossfit and Orangetheory but more focused on strength training. There are still rounds on the treadmill and rowing but it's all short explosive intervals. It's a very high quality studio with high end equipment like concept rowers, rogue barbells/weights and free motion treadmills. It's very scale-able and welcoming to all fitness levels. The staff and trainers are great. It's locally owned so I really like supporting them and the owners are usually there in the studio actually working out or upfront and are very involved which is another plus. Whether your goal is to build muscle, burn fat or just improve overall fitness, this will help you reach all of them. The price is very comparable to other studios but the value of your membership is way above the competition once you see the quality of the equipment/finishes and the experienced/certified trainers. Highly recommend! read more
