Self Made Training Facility Columbus - Personal Training Gym

I loved the atmosphere from day one.

So much so that I am an active trainer here.
I train as often as possible and enjoy all my clients and everyone else who is at the gym.

It's great to see and be around folks who genuinely want to invest in themselves and become better than they were yesterday.

The facility does a great job of maintaining cleanliness, equipment is well managed, music is great, upgrades are frequent, supplements are top notch, and the variety of support offered here is something not found many places.

I appreciate the opportunity to train others and myself, grateful.

My wife and I selected Karlee Gilliam as our certified trainer at SMTF. Karlee was simply excellent. We are seniors and she modified the workouts to fit our level. She made every workout challenging, but yet so much fun! Within months I was able to loose weight to where I needed a smaller belt, and am able to touch my toes again! I lost fat and gained muscle, strength and flexibility. I feel better. I highly recommend Karlee Gilliam if you are looking for an effective trainer who is able to make working out fun! Who knew?

I love this gym! It’s one of the few gyms where I have felt at home and comfortable. It’s never too crowded and the equipment is everything I could want plus some.

I work with Karlee Gilliam and she is amazing. When I started I felt very overwhelmed with the amount of information and methods available in the fitness industry. She is very knowledgeable and has helped teach me every step of the way. I am currently down 50lbs and I’ve never felt better in my life.

Karlee is very friendly & knowledgeable ! I’ve been working with her for almost a year now and she’s become a best friend as well as an amazing accountability partner. She’s very quick to reply back to your messages if you have questions or need help, also very good at working around hectic schedules and always makes time for her clients! Self made is a great small gym community, everyone is very friendly and welcoming! 10/10 gym.

I have been to many gyms in Columbus and have never visited a more well ran facility than Self Made Columbus. Just a great family environment overall with a bunch of knowledgable trainers and great owners! High-end equipment as well that is properly maintained.

The greatest gym in columbus with the best trainers. Cleanliness and maintenance are unmatched. Everyone there will become your best friend immediately. You will become motivated to lift or train as soon those doors open. Cody M. Is my trainer and I told him I wanted mass. Here I am 30 pounds later I feel like a monster. I recommend this gym and these trainers to everyone.

Self made has it all! Very clean gym, all the equipment you could ever need, friendly gym goers and staff, and elite trainers.

I train specifically with Cody. I couldn’t recommend him enough. He has very competitive prices for his wealth of knowledge. He has a great ability to provide you with a next-level mind/muscle connection to any specific body part that you’re targeting.

He is committed to helping you achieve your results and does a damn good job at it. Way to go, Cody, thanks for everything!

The gym was great… full variety of free weights and machines. Very clean and maintained well. I did a one-on-one with Cody McClung. I’m not anywhere new to lifting, but wanted help perfecting my form on some exercises, and he helped me do just that.
Overall, I’m extremely pleased with my experience.

Great atmosphere to workout! People are very friendly. Everything is clean and picked up. Just started my personal training sessions with Cody McClung. He does a great job describing and demonstrating the workouts and walking you through them. Looking forward to seeing my progress!

One of the cleanest and nicest gyms you’ll walk into with the best equipment out there. The staff is some of the most outgoing, supportive people you’ll meet who welcome anyone into their facility and help you work toward your goals. Absolutely worth checking them out!!

I’ve been training with Alyssa Drown for over 8 months now and she’s the best. I come in to workout and know I will be challenged but also be encouraged. I feel like I’m working out with a friend and she always makes me feel 100% comfortable.

Self Made as a gym itself is great. The owners, Jim and Angelis, are amazing. The gym is always clean and the equipment is very well taken care of. The environment is always fun and inviting, which was a huge plus when I started coming here because I had some anxiety about working out in commercial gyms. I would recommend Self Made to any of my friends or family in a heartbeat.

My first time at the gym was an early morning session. The vibes are good and the other trainers seem to enjoy working there. The gym is clean and well run. Jim and Angelis the owners were both there making sure everything ran smoothly. I liked the variety of equipment including an mma/boxing ring

It was a fantastic gym to train at and the atmosphere was very positive and everyone was great. My trainer Cody McClung was a great guy to work with and definitely knows what he’s talking about. Highly recommended

This place is an absolute gem. First and foremost, the cleanliness of SMTF is seriously impressive. I am a stickler for a tidy environment, and let me tell you, this gym passes my cleanliness test with flying colors! The people here are also just top-notch humans. The trainers and clients at SMTF are like one big, fitness family. It's impossible not to feel the positivity and kindness radiating throughout the space. Lexi, my personal trainer, is an absolute rockstar! She not only crafts workouts that challenge me in all the right ways, but she also takes the time to explain the 'whys' and 'hows' behind each exercise. It's like having my very own fitness guru who truly cares about my progress. Lexi is a shining light in my week, no doubt about it. Her infectious energy and genuine enthusiasm make every session feel fun, even when I'm sweating buckets! She's not just a trainer, she's a friend who pushes me to be the best version of myself. I can't express how much my health and wellness have improved since joining SMTF and working with Lexi. I've seen incredible results, both physically and mentally. If you're on the hunt for a gym with trainers who genuinely care about your well-being, and an atmosphere that exudes positivity, SMTF is the place to be. I'm beyond grateful to have found this gym, and I can't wait to see where my journey here takes me. Kudos to SMTF for creating such a great space for all of us on our fitness journeys, newbies or seasoned vets! 💪🏋‍♀

Let me tell ya, if you don’t have a personal trainer here by now, you’re missing out. I personally train with Lexi, I have been for over a year now and it’s the best decision I’ve ever made. I’m so much stronger, more confident in myself and at the gym. She’s taught me so much about my body, muscles, nutrition, adaption and life style. Her knowledge is insane and truly I’ve never had a trainer with so much energy and passion for what they do and the people around them. The group that she’s created has given me such an amazing amount of support and love through out this journey. Everyone in the gym is so kind and helpful and everything is always kept up with and cleaned. I will always recommend this place and Lex, thank you guys for everything ❤

Karlee Gilliam at Self Made has changed my life for the better! I had never worked with a trainer before so I was a little nervous but she made things so comfortable! She truly cares about her clients and their goals. Her workouts are amazing and she makes the entire session so fun! I’ve noticed a huge difference in my body and also my attitude since I’ve started training with her! Everyone at Self Made is super friendly and welcoming. That gym is nothing but good vibes!

Yasmin has been an amazing coach and trainer to work with. Initially I was worried about coming to the gym after taking quite a few years off after college. She’s restored my confidence in the gym and has helped make working out a habit and routine. She’s very knowledgeable about workout equipment, form, structure and routine and tailors sets to my individual needs. Her workout plans and schedules are set to align with and accomplish my personal goals. Would highly recommend working with Yasmin.

I have been training at Self Made for about 6 months. The facility is amazing providing you with all you need to be successful in your fitness journey and is always kept clean.

I have been training with Karlee Gilliam since I started at Self Made, and she has been nothing shy of amazing!! She makes everyone feel welcome and adjusts all workouts to fit whatever level you are at. Her positive energy radiates through the gym, from client to client. Karlee will encourage you and push you to do your best, as she loves seeing all of her client’s succeed, be healthy and reach their goals.

When joining KGFIT, family is truly what you will get. The family Karlee has built has the same positive and encouraging energy as her! The environment has been such a blessing to be apart of. The amount of progress I have seen in a short period of time is truly amazing!! I can’t imagine training anywhere else, with anyone else!!

I love the gym! It’s an amazing atmosphere and I feel so confident going in there. I personally work out with Nevaeh and she is AMAZING. I can’t express to you how great she is. She pushes me to be the best I can be and she is always so encouraging and has helped me meet some of my goals already. I can’t recommend this gym or Nevaeh enough, if you’re looking for someone you need to check her out and the gym as well ❤❤

Jason is one in a million. He really knows his stuff and is supportive both in and out of the gym. Every session has always been focused on the long term goals and his approach to training has always been from a place of personal experience and professional studies. He's flexible, knowledgeable, and goes above and beyond to truly be there for his clients. In my time training with him, I've never once had any complaints. Ive gotten real results and am incredibly thankful for all the work I have been able to put in under his training guidance. Do yourself a favor and schedule with Jason. Future you will know it as the greatest decision you ever made.
