The Spot Athletics - Dublin

My daughter absolutely loves going to The Spot in Dublin!! The trainers, especially Coach Maeve and Coach Ben, are so positive, energetic and encouraging, and are excellent at getting the most out of their athletes that train there.

You can see the pride they take in working with their athletes as they take the time to get to know each one personally. They want to know what their goals are, and how they want to get there.

During the introduction stage, The Spot ownership team wanted to make sure that my daughter was a good fit for them, as well as making sure they were a good fit for her, before we went to a permanent basis. I have never seen an athletic training facility do that! That’s when I knew they would do a great job with her, and they haven’t let me down!

They were also very responsive to my questions and make it so easy online to set appointments for your training.

If you, or your athlete is looking to up their level of competing, then The Spot family, and Coach Maeve and Coach Ben will ensure that The Spot is your place for growth!

I’ve been going to The Spot athletics for the past 2 years and the atmosphere and coaching is the absolute best! Not only are the workouts challenging and thorough but the explanations behind them are as well. The 2 times a week I get to go to the spot it always ends up as a highlight of my day! The coaches are absolutely amazing, they are always open to questions and giving constructive criticism when it’s needed! Not only are they good at what they do but the growth and progress I’ve experienced personally and with my team is insane! I would 100% recommend the Spot athletics to any athlete who wants to progress and succeed in the sport they love!

This has been an incredible experience for my daughter. She started a few years ago and gained more and more strength and mobility which helped immensely on the soccer field.
Now she is in a recovery phase post knee injury and The Spot has been a crucial part of her rehab. Maeve is our trainer and she’s fantastic. The individualized approach to training and recovery has made all the difference. My daughter is not only stronger but more confident thanks to Maeve.
I would recommend The Spot to any athlete.

I've enjoyed training at The Spot Athletics for about 5 months now. After working with Maeve, I am in less pain and moving more efficiently while getting stronger. Her knowledge of biomechanics, ability to understand her clients goals, and her fun, approachable personality makes her a gem. I am lucky to train with her and she is an asset to The Spot.

I've been training with coaches Maeve and Steve the past few months and it's been an amazing overall experience! Both are very knowledgable in all aspects and have done a great job in assessing what I need to improve and built a great and personal results-oriented training program. The facility is top notch, and the atmosphere in the gym between staff and other clients really sets them apart. Would highly recommend checking out The Spot!

Maeve has worked with our young athlete over the last 3 years first in a small group and more recently with his entire hockey team. She continues to challenge him with a variety of agility and strength exercises. Our son has gained a lot of muscle and strength in that time that Maeve has been coaching him which we see in his skating power and endurance. Our son loves the fast paced nature that Maeve coaches them in and is so excited to go to each session. Maeve is truly one of a kind pushing each kid to reach their potential. She creates a strong environment for the athletes to work hard and also celebrates their accomplishments with them. It is not uncommon to see Maeve show up outside of The Spot to cheer on her athletes at the rink or other sport.

We started working with Coach Maeve to help my son with a specific jump in The Nutcracker. Maeve’s training helped him achieve the jump and gain lots confidence. Now, both of my kids are are doing personal training with her. Maeve’s coaching is motivating, age-appropriate, and appropriately challenging for kids who have serious athletic goals. Maeve is also a wonderful person who supports my kids’ whole person development.

The Spot is the best facility in Columbus to train at and being an athlete it has helped me prepare for my season and to be the best athlete I can be. JL has an exceptional staff that go above and beyond to help their clients and care about them outside of when they come to the Spot. One of those people that do that is Coach Maeve. She not only wants the best for her athletes but she has a wealth of knowledge and will do anything for her clients/athletes. She pays attention to details and cares about everyone she comes into contact with. I would 100% recommend The Spot and Coach Maeve to any athletes or clients looking to get back into working out. This is the best place to be!

We loooove the Spot- drive 40 minutes to get here and it’s 100% worth it. My 9 year old daughter is obsessed with Youth Speed Squad and I’ve started adult FitSquad at the same time (shoutout Coach Steve!) - both programs are incredible! All of the coaches are knowledgable, supportive, challenging and fun. Cannot say enough great things about this place. We are clients for life!!!

If you or your child is serious about maximizing athletic potential, THE SPOT is the 100% the best place to be in central Ohio. Their state-of -the art training facility in Dublin is filled with the best equipment and more importantly, elite trainers to design and guide your fitness program. Coach Maeve Willis absolutely AMAZING. She checks all the boxes…
• Highly knowledgeable about human mechanics and development
• Extremely organized
• Outstanding communicator
• Cares about and supports her athletes
I highly recommend Coach Maeve and The Spot.

Maeve is an incredible trainer for young female athletes, focusing not only on the physical demands of sports but also the mental load that comes along with it. My daughter has made incredible strides in her confidence and I can’t wait to see her continue to grow under Maeve’s guidance.

My daughter started at the Spot to improve her running form and her strength. Maeve helped her gain confidence in herself, confidence in her abilities and improved her top speed by more than 3 mph!

The Spot Athletics is truly a world class training facility. Each results-based training program -wether it be team/large group training, semi-private/small group training, or personal training- is personalized to the needs of each individual. The positive energy filled culture at The Spot Athletics is one that creates a truly one of a kind “Spot Fam” community where each member feels valued and supported.

One of the most remarkable things about The Spot Athletics is its staff of world class coaches. The level of coaching knowledge held by the entire staff, and the coaching standards that they hold themselves to; rivals even that of many collegiate settings.

Coach Maeve Willis is one of these exceptional coaches that one can work with at The Spot Athletics. Coach Maeve has a great wealth of knowledge and understanding of human movement, sprint mechanics, and energy system development. Her incredible ability to connect and communicate with her athletes makes her an invaluable asset to all who work with her.
If the goal is to move better, build confidence, and/or sprint faster; coach Maeve Willis will go above and beyond to help you reach your full potential!

I signed up for the 2 try-out sessions The Spot offers and I really liked how the workouts were set up and the atmosphere of the gym. One session is one-on-one and the other is with a group typically 2-4 other people. Everything from the warm-up to the workout feels professionally put together. In about 20 one-on-one sessions so far with Maeve, I feel like she has taught me more about running and lifting in 4 months than I ever had from previous gyms and coaches. I look forward to my 2 sessions a week because I feel like I am learning a lot while getting faster and stronger. I highly recommend for someone who is looking for a gym that isn't crossfit-like and is looking for personal training.

Working out at the Spot Athletics has been life-changing. As an athlete who has competed in sports since the age of five, I’ve learned more about my body and technique than from any other sports coach or trainer. Her knowledge is unparalleled to anyone else I’ve ever worked with. In the three months since I’ve started working with Maeve, I’ve seen a considerable change in my athletic performance. With coach Maeve I'm excited to train every day and push myself even harder.

The Spot Athletics is an amazing, professional, fun, and safe environment. They are welcoming to all and even accommodate children or adults with severe allergies. It’s the place to be and the only place I ever want to train at.

I would highly recommend them to anyone and everyone! #checkthemout

For the past year, our daughter has embarked on a remarkable journey to enhance her golf performance, all thanks to the expert guidance of Coach Maeve. We cannot express enough how Coach Maeve's exceptional strength training has significantly impacted our daughter's game and overall well-being.

Our daughter began strength training with the specific goal of improving her golf skills, and Coach Maeve's tailored approach has exceeded our expectations. Maeve's profound knowledge of golf-specific strength training, coupled with her dedication to our daughter's development, has been nothing short of remarkable. Her expertise in adapting exercises to our daughter's age and abilities, while ensuring proper technique and injury prevention, has been instrumental in her progress.

What truly sets Coach Maeve apart is her ability to motivate and inspire. From the first session, our daughter was inspired to push her limits and embrace the world of strength training. This newfound passion for fitness and golf can be solely attributed to Coach Maeve's coaching style, which is characterized by unwavering support and positive encouragement. Maeve knows how to strike the perfect balance between challenging her students and providing the support they need to succeed.

Coach Maeve's communication skills have also played a crucial role in this journey. She consistently kept us informed about our daughter's progress, set achievable goals, and maintained open lines of communication. Her willingness to address our questions and concerns ensured that we were always part of the process, creating a strong sense of trust and collaboration.

Beyond the physical gains, Coach Maeve has instilled in our daughter invaluable life skills such as discipline, determination, and self-confidence. These qualities extend far beyond the golf course and are shaping our daughter into a well-rounded individual.

In summary, the past year working with Coach Maeve has been a transformative experience for our daughter. Her golf performance has seen remarkable improvement, and her newfound love for strength training has brought numerous benefits to her overall well-being. We wholeheartedly recommend Coach Maeve to anyone seeking a dedicated, knowledgeable, and inspiring coach for golf-specific strength training. Our daughter's journey has been nothing short of extraordinary, thanks to Coach Maeve's exceptional coaching.

The Spot has a great workout environment. I personally worked with Trainer Maeve. We worked on my movements for powerlifting. She watches me and critiques my movements which greatly improved how much weight I am able to move. Even though I was a part of a group, she made me feel like it was a private session. If you want a trainer who challenges you and help improve your technique, I highly recommend Trainer Maeve.

JL & the entire staff have created an elite & personalized training facility for youth teams, young athletes and kids of all ages looking to improve their confidence, strength, stamina, explosiveness, speed & agility. They also provide a phenomenal training opportunity for adults- you will be inspired, make huge strides & feel your best physically & mentally.

I have seen first hand the tremendous impact on teams, adults & for our family.
The trainers inspire, bring energy and make the challenging sessions fun and the satisfaction of accomplishment more than you ever have!

My son has been going to The Spot for about 3 months now. He goal was to gain strength and speed to help him in baseball. Maeve, Ben and the rest of the coaches have been amazing! My son enjoys going to all his workouts and we have definitely seen an improvement at his games. They are also extremely accommodating with their schedules for us working parents and that is much appreciated!

We highly recommend working with Spot Athletics team in Dublin. They were great to work with and provided a program specifically built to meet the needs for hockey and LAX players. Our high-school age son loved working with Coach Ben Mccausland and his personal attention/feedback were very much appreciated. Our son’s progress was noticeable and called out by his High School coaches in short time.
