I have been training at this amazing gym since it opened. I can’t say enough about the caliber of training and the sense of community. Everyone is so welcoming and new members quickly become part of the family. The level of instruction is first rate. I highly recommend Endeavor.

After working out at Endeavor, whether its crossfit, self-defense, or BJJ, I dont simply walk out. Im flying, I soar.Why? Well, its the people; its the exceptional and personalised instruction; its the affirmation of who you are and space held for you to cultivate who you want to be. Its those incremental gains over time. Its the supportive understanding and it is love, and I get take that with me wherever I go.Trust, this is where you need to be.

I have been a member of this gym since it opened. It has saved my sanity during COVID. They are a VERY supportive group - I am 40+ and there is no judging if I cannot keep up or have to modify moves. Everyone is welcoming. During COVID this community supported it’s members virtually with classes and emotionally. I feel completely safe going here to work out as everyone is careful about staying apart and cleaning equipment. If you are looking for a “family” type gym this is your place. There are a ton of different classes and you will never be judged. 100% recommend. They care about you as a person and will help you reach whatever goal you have.

#lovethisplace. A piece of serenity falls over me when I can bring my stress in, leave it on the floor/bag, and be told how to complete the work with better technique to keep injuries away. #giveitatry #nothingtolose #everythingtogain

Endeavor is where I started my Crossfit journey. The coaches there like AJ, Aaron and Dude are extremely knowledgeable and really make it a point to get to know your strengths and help you on your weaknesses. Although I dont go to this box anymore due to moving, I always talk about how attentive, supportive, and motivating the coaches were to my progress! I wouldnt be the Crossfitter I am today without the coaches and the sense of community there! Thanks Endeavor!!

This community is welcoming and positive. The owners and coaches are fantastic people who really care about you. And youll have fun while getting in unbelievable shape, no matter your age, fitness level or experience in CrossFit or BJJ. I joined Endeavor three years ago after bouncing around to numerous other gyms and nothing compares to this place. I didnt know anything about CrossFit but the coaches have patiently helped me progress. My son and daughter also participated in CrossFit and BJJ and they loved the workouts and coaches. I highly recommend Endeavor DCF!

I started coming here for the 6 weeks womens self defense seminar and absolutely loved it. The seminar was so good, learned a bunch, and got my feet in the door. Im currently bouncing around the fight side of the gym and honestly Im learning so much. If you like a good atmosphere, to challenge yourself, to learn a ton, and to do it all safely this is the place for you

Great instructors and great members. CrossFit is awesome for getting in shape and learning how to use the body better. Yoga has been just as beneficial, if not more. Ive improved my mind body connection, my recovery, and my overall outlook on life in just a few weeks thanks to yoga especially. And they have so much more to offer. Result may vary, but I know Im glad to be a member!

I love this place. Ive been coming here for 3 years and its welcoming and supportive. I started with no weightlifting experience and Ive learned so much! The coaches take the time to know everyone and pay attention to form. I always feel like I have the instruction and motivation needed to get through the workouts. Safety is a number one priority here, and I feel comfortable doing the movements.

Really great place. I started with their onboarding program in January of this year and signed up for a membership after that was complete. Staff is friendly and professional. There are multiple class times available throughout the day. Equipment is of good quality and is well maintained. Nice community. If you are looking for a challenging workout that will be different and engaging every day, this is a good place for you.

Endeavor just began their yoga program...and it is awesome! Not only can I challenge myself on the CrossFit side by attending classes where I get to sweat alongside awesome people who encourage and educate above and beyond physical health but all inclusive wellness...now I can heal, stretch, breathe and relax in my yoga practice too. The classes are wonderful and the new yoga room looks great.The instructors at Endeavor are impeccable, my fellow gym goers are so supportive and the environment is so inclusive.If you have not found a place that is conducive for you to be challenged (but always safe and smart...moving/lifting/breathing correctly is always first priority), supported, and encouraged,... stop by...you won’t regret it.

I have been to three or four different CrossFit gyms in my time. Endeavor hands down has been the only one to focus on proper form and injury prevention. I look forward to coming to class everyday. Come workout with an amazing gym ran by some amazing people.

Review №21

I’ve been doing CrossFit since 2008, the days when the games were at the ranch and people were catching their bar off bounces between reps. I have moved multiple times and have been to several gyms throughout my experience with CrossFit. Out of all the gyms I’ve visited, I’d have to say Endeavor is my favorite. The coaching, programming, atmosphere and individuals that are part of this facility are unmatched. There are always scaling options for any workout and the coaches are active, focusing on effective training and injury prevention. Visiting Endeavor is always the highlight of my day and I highly recommend it!!

Review №23

Moving back to Columbus and having so many crossfit gym options was incredibly overwhelming. I was recommended to try Endeavor from a friend from an old crossfit gym, and easily one of the best recommendations I have ever received! It really has been an honor to work with the coaches and soak up all their knowledge of lifting and how to best perform. I now feel like I move smarter and more efficiently, versus just winging it all the time. The people at the gym are so welcoming. It really is a giant family who has each others back. The coaching really has pushed me to be a better version of myself as an athlete and a person. So glad to be a part of this family!

This gym is the best! Ive been a member here for over a year now and still love it! Theyve got something for everyone, from Yoga to CrossFit to self defense. The instructors all know their stuff and actually care about proper technique and movement. They also have a partnership with one of the best Olympic Lifting operations in the region, Project Lift! Check it out!

Review №26

About 2 years ago I was not thrilled with where I was with my physical health. At the time a friend of mine was doing CrossFit but needed a new gym when she moved back to Columbus. Since I needed a change and some motivation, we went together to another local gym but found it wasn’t for us. A few months later we stumbled upon Endeavor and the rest is history. I have never felt stronger or better about myself! This place has given me endless knowledge that has helped me push myself during every class but with correct form. Not to mention the people here are welcoming and encouraging. My gym fam makes working out more fun. Thanks, Endeavor Defense and Fitness!

Endeavor Defense and Fitness is an excellent training facility! The coaches are VERY knowledgeable about all aspects of lifting and movement, and are always learning so as to be better able to help their members. The workouts are challenging and beneficial, the members have a great time and are supportive of each other. If you’re looking to try Crossfit, BJJ, yoga, or just start investing in your health and wellness, Endeavor is the place you want to be.

I have been attending Endeavor since June 2018, and I love it. I started with personal training, then the 6 week kick start, and since then I have been participating in primarily the Crossfit classes. I was skeptical about Crossfit and potential for injury; however, every single coach focuses on safety and modifications if/when needed. Endeavor is a great place with coaches who care and promote safety, and the members have turned into friends. My results in one year have included an 8 lb weight loss, increased muscle mass, and a deadlift PR. Additionally, I am running faster times and getting close to running times I havent seen in 10 years. This place is fun and definitely good for all ages!! I highly recommend Endeavor Defense and Fitness.

I have been a member at Endeavor for about a year and this is a great gym! The best thing about this gym is that it has a supportive community of instructors and members. The instructors are very knowledgeable and they are focused on motivating you and helping you achieve your goals. There is a large variety of classes (yoga, CrossFit, Jiu Jitsu, Endurance, etc.) and interest programming. There is a lot to check out!

These people really care about where you want to go and getting you there in a truly meaningful way. A fantastic and supportive community of people trying to better each other. I have had the pleasure of working with the staff in Self Defense, CrossFit, BJJ, Grappling, and Yoga and every program is run so well and with such attention.

Review №32

I have been a member or a punch card holder at several Crossfit gyms. Ive dropped in at several others. This place is hands down my favorite. The facility is large. The class sizes are fairly small. You actually get one-on-one attention during class. The programming actually makes sense. The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable. The members are unbelievably awesome! If youre interested in Crossfit, self defense, BJJ, Olympic lifting, or Yoga, you really need to give this place a shot. I promise you will not regret it.

Review №33

Great place providing a wide breadth of fitness (crossfit, olympic lifting, yoga and more) and self defense classes. The instructors truly have each individual member’s best interest at heart and tailor workout recommendations according to one’s capabilities. The balance of training with crossfit and yoga is great.

Only rating because Ive received 10+ emails to provide a review. Great coaching, but Id still be there if they wanted my business enough to get back with me after multiple inquiries to schedule private sessions. Also, will seek out an affiliate gym in the future where there are more women coaches.

I had worked out in my basement, been a member of Urban Active, joined Orange Theory, etc. Endeavor and the highly trained staff have pushed me harder than everything else combined.First, I learned how to work safely. Next, I learned how to do so many difficult and challenging exercises I would have never done on my own. Now, I’m learning how to push myself and break through the mental obstacles as well as the physical.The other members are amazing and offer as much, if not more, encouragement as the coaches.I love everything about Endeavor and recommend you give them a try for a serious challenge.

Im a relatively new member and was very impressed with the attention to detail the staff has towards safety. I heard lots of bad things about CrossFit beforehand, specifically about reckless lifting injuries, and thats not the case with Endeavor. They make the effort to ensure youre training safely. Anyone thats new to lifting, this is an excellent gym to join!

I did a drop in class a little over 2 years ago and never left. The coaches are personable but also knowledgeable and the members are fantastic. I continued working out throughout my pregnancy and they scaled everything appropriately which allowed me to recover from a 2nd c-section much faster than the first. The programming is challenging of course but manageable. There are tons of programs like crossfit, olympic weightlifting, bjj, yoga, kids gymnastics, and everything in between. I truly feel like Ive found a second family here.

Started with a great intro class for 6weeks, stayed active in CrossFit for awhile until finding out about the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu classes held here. I’ve stayed involved with BJJ classes longer than any fitness regimen I’ve started. Very good instructors who do not demean anyone for lack of experience. We compete regularly at several tournaments throughout the year and have built up a pretty good reputation as a team for being successful. If you’re not into competition there are also several days and hours to train. Best Jiu Jitsu in the Hilliard area!

Ive been going to Endeavor for 3 years now, this is hands down the best gym Ive been attended. The facilities are well maintained with plenty of amenities, the coaching staff is knowledgeable and well trained, and gym mates are encouraging and supportive. The Brazilian Jiu Jitsu team has a nice flow of competitiveness and supporting casual grapplers and we have a diverse team that makes training phenomenal. Love the crossfit and krav maga to compliment my BJJ game!

Review №45

Drew and Chelsea are so patient! Finished my first week with Olympic lifting and although my techniques have a long way to go, I dont feel rushed or pushed to lift heavier that I feel comfortable. They can explain how to several ways if it doesnt click the first or fifth time. Great group!

Review №46

Each Crossfit gym is a different experience depending on what you are looking for. Some gyms are very competative and guilt you into strict diets. Endeavor is not this place. Not that endeavor doesnt have the knowledge, they just wont force something on you. It is a place where people come to get a great workout and hang out with friends. Even if you dont know anyone when you start, it wont take long to become part of the family. It is full of encouraging people that want to help you meet whatever goals you set for yourself. Even if your goals are just to make it to the gym and work hard. You dont have to be a pro athlete here, just come and be you.Great workouts.Amazing coaches that care and are knowledgeable.Lifelong friendships.

A gym that feels like home. No judgment. No feeling like youre less than just because you cant lift 300 pounds above your head. All about correct form, motivation and teamwork over competition—always. The coaches are extremely personable and so knowledgable. Their focus on mobility is the perfect complement to the challenging WODs.

Review №50

I had heard about the defense class on the radio and sent out an email to my family seeing that if we were ever in a mass shooting situation I would want them all to know how to react. It ended up that me and my Fiancé, my mom and step dad, my little sister, her boyfriend, his mom, and sister were all interested; half of the group drove an hour plus into Columbus to attend. None of us really knew exactly what to expect, but their team made us feel comfortable in all of the hands-on scenarios. We all walked out of the active shooter response course more alert and ready in the event of an active shooter. Thanks for making this class available to the public and reasonably priced. I have already reccomended it to others.

There is never a dull moment at this gym. Sweaty, bloody, challenging and awkward moments abound, but never a dull one. The coaches are great...whether you’re there for self defense, CrossFit or yoga, they work with you to help you get the best out of the class and yourself.

Review №53

I really cant say enough about this gym and how glad I am I decided to try it out and join. I have dropped into or been a member at most of the larger crossfit gyms in Columbus and can hold my own during most workouts. What makes Endeavor stand out are the people and the coaching. The coaches are top notch-- knowledgeable, friendly and have a real focus on attention to detail which is necessary when it can be so easy to get hurt if you perform a lift/skill with bad form. Being an experienced crossfitter they still took the time to go over basic skills with me and helped me improve technique and truly understand the bits and pieces that get linked together to improve overall lifts & movements. The coaches positivity & energy has drawn in members with similar attitudes and every single person I have met through Endeavor is incredibly nice, supportive and welcoming. Ive been a member at crossfit gyms for over a year where the coaches never knew my name so going someplace where I get the total opposite experience has been refreshing and I would recommend this place to anyone at any skill level.

Ive been doing Crossfit since February and attend a gym in Northeast Ohio. I needed to find a gym in Hilliard and contacted Aaron to ask about drop in fees. He did not even mention the fee and asked me to stop by whenever was convenient for me. What surprised me the most was the organization of the workouts and the flexibility of the coaches to work around and with new faces. The gym offered everything for a solid Crossfit or Olympic weightlifting workout. They even had other programs that I wish I would have experienced. The three coaches I experienced (Heather, Aaron, and Rob) made sure every member was doing the movements correctly and made every workout a learning experience. I have nothing but good things to say about my experience at Endeavor Defense and Fitness. I will definitely be back!

This place always brings a smile to my face. This is one of those places where you can work hard and play hard at the same time. This place offers fitness classes (Crossfit); fight classes (Krav Maga self-defense, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, HitFit fight conditioning); Flexibility classes (Yoga, ROMWOD Crossfit classes). Lots of programs to help get you in shape and keep you healthy....and a love for Unicorns. Cant go wrong here.

This gym literally changed my life; from a pack-a-day smoking 42 year old fat guy to a being in almost as good as shape as I was at 21 and in the military. The owners care for the members and treat us like family.They have motivated me to push myself well beyond anything I could have ever imagined. With the Krav Maga skills I have learned I can be confident that I can protect my family in any situation we find ourselves in.THESE GUYS ROCK!!!!!

Rob is my favorite McKeeman that I know.He runs a sweet Biz (thats short for Biziness) in Columbo (thats short for Columbus -- Ohio i think?) for throwing down some weights, kicking AND punching stuff. They love Unicorns and the color purple.Hes a little on the hairy side, so watch out. You might think hes homeless, but hes not. The rest of his staff are super professional like he is, but not homeless. They know their stuff... Bigtime!P.S. Not homeless.
