Ohio Strength - Home of CrossFit Italian Village

I was looking for a gym where I could not only get a good work out in, but learn new techniques and find a community of people who share a common desire to work hard. This is that gym! I have been there 6 months now and it has been a very worthwhile investment! Plus,
the coaches walk you through each movement to ensure you’re doing it safely, and they are very encouraging and kind, which was great for someone like me who was new to CrossFit.

Phenomenal team, community, and state of the art equipment. This is where you should go for CrossFit. I came in and felt immediately like I was part of a inclusive and supportive family. I was lucky enough to talk with Ryan McFadyen (the owner) and I can absolutely tell he cares and knows exactly what he's doing. GO HERE!

Ryan and his team are incredible at helping you understand what exactly you need to do to reach your goals. The environment is welcoming, everyone is friendly, and you can see just how deeply the staff cares about the clients! 10/10 recommend!

Massive give, with a massive heart to help people improve themselves!! Don't let the size scare you away, the personal approach and coaching is unmatched with anything I've seen near by. Ryan and the staff there are professional, knowledgeable and most of all they know how to coach!!

The best gym in Columbus, Ohio! You will meet great people, have have have expert coaches and get amazing results. Highly recommend

I had such an amazing experience here. Great coaches and staff. Everyone was welcoming. The structure was fun! If I lived in the area this would be my home for a gym!

Ohio Strength offers an amazing facility and community. The programming uses the Level Method, which is perfect for beginners through advanced athletes, folks with injuries or different movement abilities, and people just looking to keep moving throughout their life (Read: Me). There's no pressure to be the best athlete in the gym - just better than you were yesterday. The coaches are knowledgeable and will *literally* go out of their way to help you with your form, movements, etc. It's clear they are passionate about helping their athletes achieve their personal goals (not a "one-size-fits-all" approach). The gym also offers well-maintained equipment, private shower rooms, electrolyte-infused drinking water, and R&R areas (to name a few). A+ | Highly Recommend.

The team at Ohio Strength is dedicated to your health! A friendly and welcoming community designed for the beginner and expert. HIGHLY recommend!

I started during the Bring a Friend week and have had really good experiences so far. I've been really interested in lifting more weights because I know the benefits of lifting weights, especially for women (increased bone density, lean muscle mass, etc.). But have no idea what I'm doing - so thought I'd give this a shot. I love that the workouts are buildable (on the level method) - so as I get better and improve, I just move up to the next level and it's going to be challenging too.

The community and vibes are good too. Members are friendly and fun. Coaches are knowledgeable and good at explaining things. I can see why people like to talk about CrossFit. ;)

This gym is awesome! The facility is 100% accommodating to anyone, and everyone’s fitness level. The faculty is more than helpful, welcoming, and motivating. They are all very responsive to each individual’s questions, concerns, and goals. Their instructing ability, knowledge, and information is above and beyond reproach. Not only are the instructors, and staff great to work with, there is a wealth of knowledge within its members too. Everyone is more than willing to help out at any given time. If you’re looking for a great place to start your fitness journey with great people and a friendly environment to all, this is the place.

Love this gym so much. Tons of equipment. Everything you could need plus more.
Knowledgable, friendly coaches and supportive community of members. 24/7 access brings it all home. Wish I would’ve found this place years ago.

Great gym and great coaches who give sound advice according to your level.

The community at Ohio strength is also a big plus! People are friendly and always willing to help each other out.

This is my first experience with CrossFit and I didn’t know if I was ready or prepared for it but gave it a chance anyways. I have been loving it from the start and glad I gave it a try. I instantly felt very welcomed both by coaches and the members. I meet more and more great and supportive people with every work out. The energy is really positive. I am always looking forward to the classes. Big shout out to coaches Zach, Shelby and Lindsey for patience and guidance. Coach Ryan does an amazing job at making the experience personal and keeps checking in throughout the process. I definitely recommend this gym no matter where you are at with you fitness level. I am sure you will enjoy it as much as I do.

Was in town for two days on business and dropped in for a workout. Facilities were excellent and I was welcomed warmly. Will certainly return if I'm back in town.

I've been a member at Ohio Strength for a few years and have had an excellent experience with their strength programming and the quality of their coaching. Throughout the years, I've gone to several different class times and worked with a lot of the coaches. Each one is incredibly technical and great to work with. I’ve always felt like Ohio Strength is as much a community as it is a CrossFit gym. The programming that Ryan and his team prepare for our CrossFit classes is both challenging and stimulating. If you’re looking for a high quality gym in the Columbus area, Ohio Strength is a great choice.

My husband and I have been going to Ohio Strength since March of 2021. We started going because we wanted a gym that was a welcoming community that encouraged us to take good care of ourselves in all areas. We have absolutely loved it! We most often take classes from Coach Phil and love his style. He is always helping members with their form and ready to help when you're struggling. I would highly recommend Ohio Strength if you're looking for a top tier gym experience!

I was intimidated to start CrossFit but I have loved my experience at Ohio Strength. All of the coaches are supportive and watch carefully to make sure each movement is safe and efficient. I have learned a ton and really enjoy my workouts. It's also a great community. Can't recommend it enough!

I've been doing crossfit for about 8 years and recently moved to the area looking for a good gym. I tried a couple in the area and Ohio Strength immediately stood out. Ryan, the owner, truly cares for each member of the gym, people are SO friendly, and the programming is solid. There is a methodology to the programming detailed in the gym's blog if you are interested in that sort of thing. Fun and clean environment, and the gym continues to expand!!
