This gym is so much more than a place to train. Not only do they pay attention to the smallest of details when it comes to cleanliness and quality of equipment, they go a step above and personally engage with their membership, the community, and strive for consistent improvement. If you live in the Columbus area and haven’t been to TFL or Axon you are simply doing yourself a disservice.

Been coming here for just about 2 years. Its the best gym in the area by far.Heres why you should join them - They dont put revenue over the health and safety of their members. Theyve proved that time several times at this point. That says a lot about a business.

Absolutely the best gym I have ever been to! Every one is just super kind and welcoming, everything is very clean and I love the smell of the cafe. I love that their equipment are well maintained, organized and up-to-date. There are also so many available classes with awesome trainers. And oh, the sauna is worth mentioning too. Would give them my 5 absolute stars!

Morgan and Jeff are killing it! Seriously the best gym in Columbus or anywhere really. Also Morgan is an inspiring, personable and effective trainer, so please don’t workout with her because I want her to be able to devote all of her time to me.

Great gym with an awesome, friendly staff. They communicate with members regularly about updates, events, etc.

This gym is one of the best I have ever used, and that says a lot. Fantastic facilities, towel service, impeccably clean. I always use the sauna and this one was terrific! Opens early. Staff were wonderful. Great location near the Today show!

Great atmosphere, equipment, and classes for a very reasonable monthly membership fee.

The front desk staff is extremely rude and disrespectful. Honestly the ONLY reason I go here is because it’s proximity to our house. Over priced and not worth it at all!

I absolutely loved going to this gym. I work across the street so it was very convenient. The staff was also consistently friendly and I felt safe and comfortable going to this gym early in the morning before work. The showers were always very clean, as was all the equipment. I love all the windows too - makes running on a treadmill a lot less painful. Also bonus: Alchemy is downstairs!

Definitely one of the best gyms in the city, hands down. Always a solid and friendly staff looking over the facilities. Top notch equipment and good vibes. I’ve been a member for a few years and it’s good to shoot the breeze with staff and members alike. Definitely worth checking it out.

The class selection is unbeatable and the instructors are all knowledgeable. Plus, its affordable! I wasnt a gym person before this, but everyone made me feel welcome and wanted the best for me. You wont regret getting a membership (unless you dont use it, then maybe).

I have been a member of so many gyms. This is the cleanest and friendliest gym ive ever been to. All of the machines are new and abundant. Would definitely recommend!

We joined The Fitness Loft in January (when our old gym shut down for a month!?!?). We immediately felt at home. The entire staff was awesome. The facility was immaculate. Best of all the trainers set us up yo succeed. Definitely recommend

Clean. Good Staff. Never OVER crowded. Abundance of equipment. Love it.

I moved to Columbus from out of town and was looking for a gym, and I was so pleased to find TFL. There is a lot of great equipment of high quality, and they offer great classes as well. Ive been a member of a lot of gyms, and this is one of the best.

Everything is emaculately clean, never overcrowded, good equipment (except for the good girl circuit training machine has had a broken sign on it for 8 months)...otherwise decent!

I absolutely loved TFL! I was so bummed to have to cancel my membership when I moved. I would absolutely recommend TFL to anyone looking for a great fitness facility in Columbus. 10/10.

Amazing local gym and super friendly staff. One of the best options for anyone living in the downtown Columbus area!

If you are looking for a gym where amenities meet professionalism in a positive and spacious environment, then I encourage you to check out The Fitness Loft. The staff is hard-working, knowledgeable, and personable, and the equipment is well-maintained and abundant. Imagine a place where you are free to explore energetic classes, powerlifting, cardio, and community under one roof and you have The Fitness Loft.

I have always appreciated the friendly staff, cleanliness and attention to detail that The Fitness Loft has to offer.

The Fitness Loft is by far the best gym in Columbus. It is clean, well organized, boasts cutting edge equipment, and offers a great variety of group fitness classes. They have complimentary lockers with digital locks which are very convenient and when not in the midst of a global pandemic, have other great amenities like towels, shampoo and body wash, and a sauna.I started at the Fitness Loft about two years ago because it was close to where I worked. I was a bit intimidated about getting back into the gym after a long hiatus but the staff team is so friendly and every other member I have met has been courteous and easy to be around. It is a very comfortable space to work out in. Sadly, I had a location change with my job and had to cancel my membership (which was super easy and the team member who helped me was extremely prompt and kind about it). I started attending another gym for about a year but my heart stayed with TFL. I rejoined a few months ago, again feeling some anxiety but this time because of COVID. Wow, has this gym done a stellar job of adapting and keeping their staff and members safe!! They clean thoroughly every day from 12-2, have 6 ft spaces are taped off throughout the gym which allows social distancing, and they have strict masking policy which members are great about following (from what I have observed). I am a healthcare worker and I can honestly say TFL is one of the places I feel most comfortable in right now. If you are on the fence about gym membership during this pandemic, I would really encourage you to at least check out the Fitness Loft. It is a great gym with great people.

I have been a member of TFL for over 5 years. It’s a great facility. Plenty of cardio machines and an abundance of strength training machines and free weights.The staff is very friendly and eager to answer questions. They are also very knowledgeable if you have training questions.TFL has gone above and beyond to keep the facility safe and clean in a Covid world. The place is spotless!

The only gym I will ever love. Clean, great air flow, open, bright. I never have to wait for equipment and the showers/locker rooms are amazing (and I love the fact that I dont need to pack a hairdryer!). Its simply the best. The fact that I love going here has absolutely contributed to my success at the gym.

I have been a member of TFL for over 5 years. It is always so clean and even throughout the COVID-19 pandemic staff have kept the gym feeling safe and clean and made it clear that sanitation and their members health is a top priority. I love that there are classes of all kinds included in your membership fee. The facility itself is very high tech and the crowd that goes is filled with young professionals. I couldnt ask for a better gym! Theyre even located on top of Alchemy Juice so makes for a nice place to get a pre or post workout juice or smoothie. If you are considering TFL, I highly recommend it!

Great gym! Clean, modern, and lots of amenities.

Best gym Ive been to and the staff are amazing!

This gym is life. If you arent working out here youre simply wasting your money. I had shopped around various gyms of different prices and facility styles for months prior to joining the Fitness Loft. Mind you, I had just moved here from Miami Florida at that time so I came with big expectations and this gym has surpassed all of them. The one thing I hear but its more expensive than other chain gyms! - Yes and No. Yes, the monthly fee may be a bit more a month BUT youre not getting some absurd enrollment fee of $200 like all the others have. Additionally, I have never ever waited for equipment (which is always in mint condition), I have never felt bothered or intimidated and most of all - it has the best classes all included in your membership. I have three particular classes I am obsessed with (youll have to sign up to find out which they are ;) ) and I swear they allow me to eat like Im training for a triathlon without gaining weight. All jokes aside, what makes this gym all the more special is the people who work there and who go there. I work from home so my in person human interaction is limited during the week. This is where I go to not just relieve stress but to interact with others as well. Every trainer/instructor here is different but theyre all so kind and patient. Theres different energy levels and training styles so everyone can find that particular class or instructor who speaks to them. They ultimately push you to step outside of your comfort zone in a comfortable manner which is all you can hope for!

Wow, one of the or perhaps the nicest, cleanest and most up to date gym I have ever been to.Literally every piece of equipment is new. Want to watch a Youtube Channel with beautiful scenery while working out no problem. Ever piece of equipment is web enabled.Want a Class; Silver Sneakers, Yoga, Spinning, etc. they have it.And when you finish working out they have a wonderful cafe where you can get Salads, Smoothies and other healthy food. Miss this Gym and you will regret it later... How many gyms when you walk into the door actually smell nice like a Cafe. I can not say enough about this location. You must check it out for yourself...

Great gym all around! The staff is excellent, the space is very inclusive of various intersections, and I absolutely love the variety of equipment/machines.

Just joined this gym and love it so far. The lockers rooms are very nice with everything you need to get ready. The fitness classes are included and easy to sign up for with the gym app. Plenty of space. The staff has all been very nice. Not a 5 because it’s not all perfect but would definitely recommend checking out. There is a 3 day trial pass available

The best gym in Columbus! I look forward to going each and every day. The classes are wonderful, it is such a welcoming and non judgmental environment.

Absolutely the best gym I have ever been apart of. After a couple year fitness hiatus of being burnt out of all gym pressures and monotony, I started working out at Fitness Loft. I felt so uplifted by the positive and accepting environment. All of the team members at Fitness Loft made it an effort to learn my name and make me feel welcome. A year and a half later, it is absolutely my favorite place. My fitness goals have excelled, as well as my mental goals. Highly Recommend! Great group classes, nice equipment, and great staff! 😀🙌🏼💪🏼

Top notch gym with top notch staff.

This year did crossfit and love it. However needed to make some financial decisions and decided to look into cheaper gyms. This one is down the street from my house and I would jog to it as a warm up. The gym is really clean. However its a loft. Meaning they try to stay away from noise and some areas get a little crowded. Went to some classes and I liked 2 of them but no sense of community and it seemed they would rush you in and out of the classes. No one really talked to you outside the circle they knew. No encouraging energy. The price is ok but the fit test was a joke for the price. Feel like this is just a better planet fitness. Other words decided on a different gym. They do have potential to get better I feel.

The Fitness Loft has everything I was looking for in a gym—clean facility, plenty of equipment, and a variety group classes all included for a very reasonable price. Plus, everyone I’ve interacted with has been so friendly and helpful. If you’re looking for a new gym or not, I recommend joining!

The Fitness Loft is a great gym all around. Very clean, organized, equipped, and maintained. Staff is professional and as well friendly. They’re also quick to fix any discrepancies found within their gym ASAP.The environment here is very welcoming and honestly I’d put my name on this place. I highly suggest this gym!

I love this gym! There are so many classes available at all times and the instructors are incredible! Everyone that works there is awesome, especially the manager Jeff. I’ve only had extremely pleasant experiences here ☺️Update:Two years later and I still love this gym! Management is still amazing, the facility is clean, and all instructors are incredible! 🤗

Gym is super clean, always has fresh towels. They could use some more weight plates and could use a couple of machines that they are lacking like a rear deltoid/chest fly and could use more back machines like a t-bar row or the newer style ergonomical pull down machines. Alchemy is great though and you will never have to worry about theft in the locker rooms.

This gym is a little pricey, but trust me it is well worth it. The perks of being a member are outstanding! I have nothing bad to say about this gym. The view from the windows are beautiful, the locker rooms and sauna are very clean, the staff are funny, charming, and professional. The space is plentiful and the classes kick my ass in a good way. LOVE IT.

Please dont join. I love this gym just the way it is now. It is clean. Everything is clean. The staff is bubbly. The equipment is mostly nice. Weight machines are dual-axis! They have Olympic bar free weights.

I only got to experience this gym on a one day pass while traveling but I really liked it. The gym was so clean and well maintained. The locker room was pristine. The set up was very open so I didnt feel like I was too on top of other people and the spread of equipment was sufficient.

I used The Fitness Loft (TFL) from 2015-2018 before moving out of state. It remains my favorite gym I have ever used. Great equipment, respectful members and staff, and very clean!

Ive been a member of this gym for about five months now and I am very pleased.This place is spacious, offers lots of cardio machines, free weights and classes if you need structured fitness. I seldom take a class so I cannot comment on the quality of instruction.Im usually there four times a week and the place is always immaculate!Other members also take care of the place and clean the equipment and keep the locker room in decent shape.The crowd tends to be mostly mid 20s to 30s on average but most should feel comfortable working out here, I do.The staff is friendly, most members keep to themselves but are courteous.The membership price may seem steep to some, however, one should consider that it is a month-to-month deal, no contracts. The hours should work for most people.Overall, I would recommend this place, friendly staff, modern equipment and plenty of eye candy.

Best gym Ive found in Columbus so far. Never packed, always clean, and they continue to bring in Rogue equipment which is super high quality and local. The only suggestion I have is to purchase more kettlebells, otherwise the place is stellar.

Superb gym, lots of equipment, plenty of space so you can tailor your own workouts, from weights to cardio to circuits as well as plenty of class. Very friendly and helpful staff

As someone traveling and needing a place to exerciset while in Columbus, this is a top gym. Clean, expansive, inexpensive, and with excellent equipment, I cannot recommend it highly enough. Christian and the rest of the staff have been extremely accommodating.

Went with as a guest with my sister, shes a member and the interior is all new and updated. The staff is nice and friendly. Clean facilities and a mandatory judge free zone. Tons of diverse equipment, a sauna room and huge loft windows for a view of the Childrens hospital.

I hated going to the gym before I joined the Fitness Loft. But now I look forward to it every day! Great facility with excellent variety of equipment, classes, and friendly faces. Best gym I have ever joined!!!

This is the go-to gym. Everyone is welcome no matter who you are or your fitness level. Always clean. Classes are included! Its like a family here, really. Youll want to get to know people here. Alchemy is on the main level, too! Ask for a free trial. Prices are just right. Try it!

I love The Fitness Loft. I left for a few months and hopped around gyms but nothing quite felt like home like The Fitness Loft. It’s definitely my favorite gym in Columbus!

Everyone is super nice, all the equipment is really clean, and the locker rooms are spacious and clean.

Great gym in a great building! Very friendly and flexible rates. If you take 3 days pass - it can be any 3 days, not like one-by-one 3 days

The best gym I have ever been a part of.

Trainers that care, equipment that is well maintained and up to date, very clean and cared for locker rooms!!

Great place to work out. Lots of lifting and cardio equipment as well as classes that are included in the membership. Very clean and has nice locker rooms too.

Its like someone took my minds perfect gym and made it a reality. Members take just as good care and cleanliness of the machines as the staff. Friendly, goal-oriented, and positive staff. For those that find gyms and equipment to be intimidating, I think youll find it quite simple with plenty of people there to help you achieve your body-health goals. The TechnoGym equipment allows you to track your workouts and see your the results of your hard work, motivating you to push even further! Start and finish your workout with some time in their infrared sauna, and youll leave feeling refreshed. And anyone that crinkles their nose at the thought of a gym shower clearly hasnt been in The Fitness Lofts locker rooms! So far, I cannot find something I dont like about my gym. I wish I had joined sooner. See you there!

Decent gym floor. Weights. TRX. Several treadmills. But a little too new and fancy for my liking.Poor locker room. No water pressure for showers. Small and cramped. The sauna isnt even as warm as a hot yoga room and should just be turned into a closet. Its useless. I asked management about these things and just got the runaround with no clear answers on weather they would change or not. So I got tired of waiting and stopped going. I also had my wedding band stolen here. I left it in a locker (my bad) and it was never turned by whoever found it. I found a new gym I like a lot better and even though I signed a cancellation 3 weeks ago, I still just got charged another $110 a couple days ago because they require 30 days notice. Gimme a break. They charge you a starting fee and then an ending fee. This place sucks.

I have been a member since TFL opened, more than 4 years ago, and I have no complaints about my experience there! The facilities are beautiful and provide everything you could want, and the staff are friendly and helpful. I especially enjoyed the BODYPUMP classes, but there are a large variety of classes available at all hours of the day, and they are all included with the membership! The towel service, keypad lockers (no locks!) and sauna are also nice perks. Check TFL out - you won’t be disappointed!

A nice open gym that doesnt have a lot of foot traffic yet so you dont have the times of the day you feel like you have to avoid because its so busy. Coming from LA Fitness this has been an awesome transition.

Love the staff and joined for the many classes offered. Downside is the best classes are booked almost immediately as they become available and they have neglected to add more evening time slots. Some days there are no classes offers past 6pm and on weekends there are no classes past noon...people sleep in on the weekends and people work til 6pm some days.

Easily the best gym in Columbus. Unbeatable team, unbeatable atmosphere and unbelievable equipment.

Its been two years since I left Columbus, and I STILL miss this gym. I absolutely loved the equipment, the layout, the people, the café, the amount of parking available, and the two huge exercise rooms. In eleven years of being a member in different gyms, none come close to the Fitness Loft.

Very nice gym. Showers are clean offering a clean towel and even shampoo and conditioner.

Excellent gym, well outfitted for all levels of training. Many great classes also offered.

Clean, large space, not overcrowded, friendly staff, lots of quality classes included with membership.

This place is the bees knees. Its my go-to place during the Arnold weekend! Its one of the closest gyms to the convention center and has some serious space and real equipment. 10 star recommendation.

Clean gym, awesome staff, huge space and state of the art equipment. Love this place!

Great people, great place, great programming! All of that gives me a greater workout than Ive ever found anywhere else. Thank you, Jeff and staff.

They have a great smoothie bar downstairs! Great way to start my morning off

I only got to visit TFL for a day but I had a great experience and workout. Excellent variety of cardio and lifting equipment, plenty of space specifically for stretching (which a lot of gyms do not think about), tons of options for class and class hours and a friendly staff as well. Bonus: Alchemy!!!!! The gym was simply out of my budget, but if you can afford it, definitely go!

Lots of open space for way more equipment, yet you never seem to have to wait for a machine. Great place to workout, and very convenient.

A very clean and well equipped gym. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Used to be an absolute gem of a gym. Now its overcrowded. At times, you need to double check before a rep so you dont hit anyone nearby. Good luck finding a parking spot in their tiny lot, as they will not guarantee that you wont get towed when parking at the neighboring CVS. Street parking is available a few blocks away, though. So if you want to use this gym at a convenient time, too bad. Save your money and just get LA Fitness. Its the same experience.Pros: Clean

Always greeted by friendly staff. The gym is busy in the evenings, but never too busy to find machines or weights. Clean locker room and clean equipment.

Nice gym, limited equipment and pricey

Only reason it’s not 5 stars is that they keep the heat so high in there all the time! I even made a complaint to mgt that it’s always too hot. Never even heard back.

Great spacious facility, nice people and awesome group and personal fitness options.

A really nice gym, clean, and well organized.

I love this gym! The equipment works with a smart phone app that tracks your progress and the treadmills and cardio machines have amazing touch screens where you can sign into your Netflix account so you can Netflix and cardio. My favorite part is getting to stop at Alchemy after the workout which has a ton of healthy food options to choose from.*My one complaint is the gym hours!* I signed up to do a trail of the gym and quickly realized how limited the hours of operation are. Im not a morning gym person and prefer to go mid day or at night. If they ever extend their hours at night just by 1 or 2 hours I would be hooked!

Good parking . Good juice bar and restaurant next door . Fast wifi . Locker lock system is great, though space a lil crammed . Frequency of yoga or Pilate class is a lil less than Im used to .

Totally worth the monthly fees. Very nice staff, great equipment, and the place is kept very clean.

Good place to workout after a long day

Price is high, but it is one of the nicer gyms in Columbus.

Friendly staff. Great equipment. Lots of classes.

Very clean and great open environment

Gym with all the normal gym stuff.. can get a little crowded but what doesnt.

Nice Gym.

Great gym really great equipment

Hours are a joke

Havent been there because almost 60 dollars a month is unreasonable for a membership this is Columbus Ohio not California.

Best gym in Columbus!

Love it!

Nice!

Nice!
