I travel extensively and my first priority after getting settled in my hotel room is finding a gym. Great downtown location just blocks from area hotels. Their day pass is super reasonable, it was a no brainer. Lots of equipment and weights to satisfy all your power needs. Bonus is the historic architecture surrounding your workout.UPDATE: After the gym received my positive feedback through an alternate business survey vehicle, they reached out to me, asking if I would write a google review. I did so as stated above. HOWEVER I just revisited the gym this past weekend on my recent business trip and they jacked-up the day rate by 33%. The whole basis of my positive feedback was based on the reasonable cost of a single workout. I feel betrayed after my good-will effort and now the cost is at the price point of either using the hotel gym or waiting till I get back home. Not happy.

Ive been a member for 3 years and wont go anywhere else. What I like most is its old-school feel. The atmosphere of the gym conveys this 'shut up and train' sort of vibe. The cli-ling-ling, cli-ling-ling of the steel plates hitting one another as one do a set is just therapeutic. There are all levels of fitness people there from beginners to individuals preparing for a competition which I enjoy. Great gym culture and equipment!

I am sure the gym is fine, but I would have appreciated a lot more transparency around the pricing. I broke my ankle the same week I got the membership and therefore did not go for the first two months and tried to cancel the membership. When I signed up I was not explicitly told that a minimum month to month membership duration was 3 months or that I had to cancel the membership 31 days prior to the next charge date. So now I am stuck with ~$90 lost on a gym membership I did not use.Tl;dr Owners, please be more transparent in person and online with all pricing issues.

No matter your fitness level Powerhouse Columbus is the place for you. Started a year ago, overweight and out of shape.. I have since, with hard work, become stronger and fitter than I I have been in my life. This gym has the best staff, trainers and owner. They are encouraging and supportive. When I started I was intimidated and unsure, many of the people there are very fit. I now use it as motivation to continue my fitness goals.. come check it out. You wont be disappointed

My friend introduced me to this gym. It is extremely convenient for me-It has everything I like (minus an indoor track, but those are hard to come by), and is within walking distance from my work, so it allows me to go during my lunch break when it's not as busy. It does have a focus on strength and body lifting training, but it is very accommodating to any one looking for any workout type. There are multiple personal trainers who will customize workouts so that the results are what you want. The locker rooms are clean and have showers, as well.

Never busy. Staff is very knowlegable as well as friendly. Old gym feeling with every piece of equipment that you can imagine. Free parking . Free classes. Also Arnold Schwarzenegger workouts there when he is in town. Enough for me

Great atmosphere for people serious about fitness. Very friendly staff that is very willing to help with any question or concerns you may have. Unfortunately free parking is sparce (as expected in the city) but when the gym goes 24hr that will alleviate some of the issue.

Lots of good equipment packed into a fairly small space. Had lots of posters and stuff with Arnold so that was pretty cool. Its downtown Columbus so parking could be an issue at times but this gym is definitely worth checking out

Heck of a gym and is for a real workout. This isn't a fitness center but if you want a real workout check this gym out. Plus is set up in an old bank so it's really cool. No parking and somewhat expensive for a day pass but worth checking out once
