The Pro's Gym

Powerhouse is a convenient club offering most amenities located in central Columbus downtown. The gym may offer trainers and some classes. I met my wife here and have been happily married for 3 years, together for 5!

This is THE gym. If you are into lifting and love a more serious vibe, this is it. You have found it. I have gone to multiple gyms throughout my life and this one takes the cake. It has an immaculate old school bodybuilding feel that is unmatched. The people that go are hardcore into lifting and such a motivation. I've never gone and it's been packed packed, and the staff is very nice and answers any questions. I simply love this gym.

I've been coming here a couple years, convenient for work. Seems they're always doing something to improve the place, painting, decorating, rearranging the machines. Staff is friendly. Clients are a mixture of those looking to exercise (me) and those more serious about their physique.

Decent gym. Lots of old equipment. Fairly dirty and dusty. The theme of the old bank vault could've been worked on a bit more. Certainly could have had more squat racks and the fans not covered in dust. However, had to make a trip as it was Powerhouse Columbus. I can't imagine too many regulars going here.

This is a no frills get to business type of gym. It's one of the most diverse in terms of clients I've ever been to. Only reason I gave it 4 stars is because whole the lockeroom is clean it can get musty especially in the summer.

Great old school gym with all the free weights and Arnold competitor posters you could dream of. Staff was very friendly in accommodating me with a day pass—took only a few minutes.Next time I’m in town I’m visiting Powerhouse Gym in Columbus, Ohio!Thank you staff, all the best—Brandon

Good gym - old equipment that isn’t maintained well however it is a real gym. If I wanted to see clean unused equipment with rookies everywhere texting I’d go to lifetime. They have every rack, machine, and everything else you need and then some. Just need a little “remodel/refresh” In due time. Love it

I've been going to Powerhouse only because it's walking distance from my house. If I had another option within walking distance, I'd probably go there. Don't get me wrong, this gym isn't all bad but it definitely could use some sprucing up. The bathrooms/basement area always smell like sewage and flood somewhat frequently. The equipment is pretty old school, which some like, but it all could use a good cleaning. Cardio machines are dust-covered and almost all have their cupholders missing. The rec-room upstairs always has stuff everywhere and mats/balls are just in a heap on the side for you to dig through. The tile flooring in there separates and will pinch you. Another con, which they can't help, is the bus stop out front makes for some interesting interactions. People pee in the ally near the exit and homeless people hangout there. BUT, if you're looking for a classic gym that welcomes the big, beefy, grunting, bodybuilder type, this gym is great for that. People are serious about their work outs. If you can overlook the cosmetics of some of it, this gym is pretty cool.

Pros: owner takes pride in his gym (paint, equipment upgrades, limited down time for equipment repair, etc), good equipment selection - both machines and free weights. …

1st class gym. Places like this is where you put on size. The hack/half squat, seated peck deck, deadlift station and an atmosphere to let a little cave man out when you need to! Everything you need to focus in on your improvements. Friendly and helpful staff as well
