Great experience! Did a group session of hot yoga and was very impressed with the class. Store front is in downtown right in the commercial district. Easy to find. Very clean and inviting. Studio is small but professional. Instructor was laid back and informative. She did a great job tailoring the class to the level of the most basic student. Most of all I felt great afterwards. I suffer from a lot of chronic pain from normal life stuff. After a session here, I felt great all day. Plan to go back again. Definitely worth your time, go check it out.
The best studio I’ve experienced, bar none! Erika and her staff are extremely experienced and provide personalized instruction in classes of up to about 20 people. As a military service member, I had several unique muscular/skeletal imbalances that limited my range of motion and flexibility and caused localized pain. Through Erika’s body lab diagnosis, we were able to get after the root causes of the issues which dramatically increased my quality of life! Thank you so much!
I originally wrote a one star review for them after we had a bad experience with a gift package I bought for my wife. As we were moving out of town, they refunded the package and sought to congratulate us on the birth of our daughter.It’s clear this team is devoted to the community and to improving as a group.
Glenn is probably the best at fixing any problem there is with your body. I ask for him specifically every time and he has me feeling brand new after every massage. Definitely the right place to go.
This is a great alternative for me. Going to the gym is not motivating or fun. Since I have been coming here to the Up Factory I have made new friends and I always can’t wait until my next workout session. I always get a great workout each and every time and we have the best instructors. I love the fact that I have a variety of classes that I can take. They have a schedule full of wonderful classes. I love it!!!
This is an amazing yoga studio! Usually when I walk into any kind of fitness studio, I always feel uncomfortable. That was DEFINITELY NOT the case when I walked into the Up Factory. The first time I walked through the door, everyone was so welcoming! I immediately felt relaxed, comfortable and as if I had already been going there for months. I love coming to this place! They have classes for all levels, from beginner to advanced, and classes for all body types! I love that there are a variety of classes I can take to help me break out of my comfort zone! I also love that the classes are at different times throughout the day so I can fit it into my schedule. If you are thinking about trying them out, you will not be disappointed!
Had my daughter’s 11th Birthday party here yesterday. Everything was just perfect from beginning to end and I highly recommend this venue if you are planning a party for preteen or teenage girls! The girls loved doing the aerial yoga tricks and 24 hours later they are still talking about it! The staff was overly accommodating for helping make our circus theme come to life! We will definitely be back!!
Love this place! I love when establishments have great customer service, makes a world of a difference! They make everyone who walks in thru the door, welcomed and that their presence there matters. Instructors are great and very nice/friendly as well. They make sure participants practice safe yoga! This place has a class for all levels- beginners to advanced. Big variety of classes and times throughout the day. So if you’re thinking about it, go ahead and you won’t regret it!
There is so much to say about the Up Factory.. The team leaders are so approachable easy to work with on many levels! The location and class schedules gives anyone a chance to explore their interest! I personally joined for a 6 month membership and NO regrets. I have tried several options and have found with couple injuries how wonderful yoga has allowed me to regain mobility. Thank you ALL at the Up Factory for working with me!!
I went here and met privately with Erika for prenatal yoga. I wanted to have my baby without any pain medication. She helped me achieve that. Without her lessons, I would not have been prepared mentally for the intensity of childbirth! She and her staff are personable and professional. I highly recommend the Up! Factory!
Had been having problems with my neck leading to headaches and fatigue. As well as old shoulder problems. Glenn was the masseuse I saw, and he did an amazing job. His knowledge of the body was very insightful. He has also fixed my wifes neck and had done plenty of work on my friend. Will be going back.
My daughter went to inquire about classes with a friend of hers this evening. She’s been doing silks for over a year and is a level 5. She is also very well skilled in contortion and acro. The lady she spoke with was incredibly rude and was not at all forth coming with any information. I’m sure this stems from the fact that she (my daughter) trains regularly at another local silks place, that doesn’t mean that she can’t or shouldn’t be able to learn other techniques from different instructors or experience a new atmosphere. She’s been so excited to check this place out and thanks to whomever was running the desk this evening, she will never go back. I’d rather make the drive to Atlanta or Destin so she can experience new and different skills and learn from instructors who don’t snub their nose at someone wanting to learn more.
As soon as you walk into The Up Factory, you can feel the vibe that is so relaxed and welcoming. The staff are knowledgeable about each class and product they offer. The classes they offer are available for all levels and ages, from baby and mommy classes to bring able to work with the older clients.
I absolutely love the Up Factory. They offer all different types of yoga classes. There’s something for everyone. I feel so much better and sleep so well after my class. I can’t wait to try more classes.
I love taking classes at The Up Factory. I like taking aerial yoga, regular yoga and hot deep stretch Yin. I’ve become a lot more flexible which has helped me as a cheerleader. The classes are so fun too!
I absolutely adore this place. Ive been taking classes here for almost two years and its my place -- my favorite place outside of work and home! Everyone is so welcoming, so empowering, and so fun. Im socially awkward (lets just call a spade a spade) and have always been apprehensive about group fitness classes because I have two left feet and havent ever really been able to keep up with groups. But this place has me hooked. Barre is my absolutely favorite class! Ive been able to tell such a difference in my body and the things Ive been able to do with it since Ive been coming here!
I wish I could give 10 more stars.The staff is very friendly, fun, knowledgeable and polite. The classes are fun!I will definitely be purchasing a membership.Its worth it!
What a great space and wonderful atmosphere to feel comfortable and have fun exercising. From the numerous types of Yoga classes, to Aerial silks, Pole fitness, Caribbean dancing, Pilates, Barre you wont be disappointed. Theres something for everyone. Childcare is also available. Come give it a try they have a membership that will work for you.
I love going to The Up Factory! I look forward to it every week. I do private lessons with Erika and she is absolutely amazing - I have learned so much about myself from her. I have arthritis and she makes sure there is a modification for anything I can’t do. She has targeted the areas that need work and the improvement I’ve seen over the last couple of months is phenomenal. The facility is clean, there are tons of classes to choose from, the staff is nice and doesn’t make you feel awkward, and there’s something for everyone and every body. LOVE The Up Factory!
Fell in LOVE with the studio and instructors at the first class! They offer a wide variety of classes for all skill levels. I always feel great when I go in, and even better when I leave. I would go every day if I could!
I had my birthday party here and it was the best one yet! I like going to yoga classes and aerial classes the most. I love all of the teachers and The Up Factory!
Having problems for years with tight muscles and getting “deep tissue” massages has never led to a more functional body for me. But, after getting in with Glenn for a specialized deep tissue with some assisted stretching, I’ve got better mobility in my shoulders and hips with some definite improvements to my workouts.
Absolutely fantastic, great atmosphere, the teachers took the time to customize movements for me. I love the yoga classes, the ab rehab class, and the moms and babies group! Im glad I found the Up Factory.
Beautiful facility with fun and unique fitness classes! The staff are knowledgeable and incredibly supportive. You will feel very welcome and comfortable here!
I have longstanding neck and shoulder issues, and receiving regular deep-tissue/medical massages has been a huge help in managing pain and letting me do the things I want to do. I see Glenn, but understand all of their therapists are outstanding.
There is something for every age, gender and experience level at the Up Factory. The setting and staff are awesome. I like the hot yoga, gentle yoga and silks yoga classes the most. The variety of classes and schedule provide a great escape from the daily workflow. There are body assesments and massage therapy services available too!-Highly recommend for anyone.
I booked a year of classes after taking the same class for like 8 months, they changed schedule such that I couldn’t go to that class anymore, and were unhelpful and rude about remedying the situation. They even changed it back, I booked it, then they cancelled what I booked and changed the day again. I essentially threw 400$ in the trash can by expecting schedule consistency. No refund. I’m reminded of this often when people see my picture on their website and contact me to ask how I like the place. I explain this story to them, and they stay away. Karma works, I guess. Happened again today.
I was a drop in for the Hot yoga class on Sunday! Great Energy coming from all the staff members and instructor! Beautifull studio!
I came to visit my fiancé while he was training at Fort Benning and we came across the UP! factory! I kid you not, from the moment I walked in, I did not want to leave. The welcoming vibe and energy made me feel so comfortable and ready for our hot yoga class. This was my first time, ever and I can’t wait to come back to visit Fort Benning and the UP! Factory upon my return! HIGHLY recommend.
The Up Factory is hands down the best fitness spot in Columbus. They have many types of yoga, Aerial silks, HIIT, TRX, Barre, etc. the list could go on and on. So many classes to choose from. They also have body assessments for those with injuries as well as a fabulous massage therapist! All of the instructors care about their clients and ensure that those with and those without injuries are given the best possible exercise and workout for their own body. The clients are so laid back and welcoming, which makes it great for new people and those who are new to exercise. I have been coming to Up for 10 months and have grown so much in my yoga practice as well as my overall body strength. My 13 year old and 9 year old takes classes here as well and Up has improved her flexibility and core strength for cheerleading and tumbling. Come check it out! You will be hooked!
They have moved to 2 new locations downtown. I have not been to their new places, but I did love this place when it was back on Wynnton Rd. Im sure the new locations are probably just as nice
You havent fully lived if you are not a member at The UP! Factory! Check it out.
