AussieFIT

Great, friendly staff. Tons of equipment and they were so accommodating. I went there for a week to visit family and if I lived in the area, I’d definitely become a member. Highly recommend this gym!

As soon as I got here I was ready to leave. It was dirty, borderline filthy. There were used paper towels all around the equipment. Although it was my first time no one asked to show me around or show me where things were. The layout is extremely confusing and there’s no real method to the madness. I won’t be back.

This gym has a lot of different items to utilize. However, the layout is kind of messy and equipment needs updating, especially the cardio equipment (ellipticals). There is clear wear on the cushions of many weight machines and mats. I do like that they have a free motion machine, stability balls, therabands, airexs, BOSU, agility ladder, and kettlebells for more functional workouts. They also have a nice and clean locker room. The instructors for the classes are pretty decent but certain classes pack up pretty quickly. I also do not like that they try to have an «exclusive area» with their TRX equipment. You’re gonna have to pay the extra price because they have a lot of equipment and of course pay the typical (ridiculous) «enrollment fee».

The initial meeting with the personal trainer was horrible. He was so rude and condescending. I know I’m out of shape now but that doesn’t mean I know nothing about fitness or nutrition. He acted like I was lying when I said I was comfortable with free weights. He was pushing me to buy training packages after I said I wasn’t interested several times. He was horrible. An hour with that guy will make you want to find another gym.

Great, clean gym. My wife and I visited Aussie fit for a week long pass while we vacationed in Columbus. The staff are super nice and the trainers appeared knowledgeable and helpful with their clientele. Good atmosphere. The gym is connected to a smoothie shop. Big plus!

Ok gym. But who ever is in charge of the billing, book keeping ect… Is the reason why I changed gyms. Don’t trust these people with your credit card info. Good luck!

I love this gym! The trainers are great, and try their best to help keep you motivated. If you get a personal trainer ask about Blake, he is great! Small group classes are fun too. Plenty of treadmills and ellipticals. My son loves most of the girls in the Kid’s Club, they’re really good with him! Bathrooms are of the cleanest I’ve seen in any gym. I would definitely recommend this gym for the price and quality of the people working there! Love it!

I’ve been an Aussie Fit member for almost three years, and I’ve had a very good experience. The staff is always super friendly and helpful. The weights offer a great variety, and there is plenty of cardio equipment. The gym can be a little crowded and is pretty small group and personal training focused. But you can get in shape here, and the cost is extremely reasonable.

Decent gym, and one trainer there (Nick) is fantastic! They do lock up some equipment and limit where people can work out if not with a trainer, though. That’s annoying. However, good luck to anyone when they leave and try to get the autopay stopped on their credit card. I worked out there for nearly five years. When I decided to move out of the area, I asked about cancelling membership. I was told a 30-​day notice was all that was needed; then I was told to just fill out the form a few weeks before leaving, which I did. They gave me a copy of the form. Sure enough, my credit card was still charged the next month. The unfriendly customer service person (Lindsey) first told me they had no record of my cancellation request. After sending her a copy, she then told me that when I signed up a 60-​day cancellation notice was needed, not 30. Right or wrong, this experience left a bad taste in my mouth, and I won’t recommend this gym to anyone now. In the short term, they got another month’s fee from me, but I wonder what future revenue they’ll lose when more people get treated like this… and post about it.

Nearly a year after my original review, I’m pleased to say that I stuck it out with Aussie Fit. They just finished an expansion/​remodel and there is a lot more floor space, comparable to when we first joined. There is a new, dedicated personal training area (which I don’t use), that has windows to the outside letting in more natural light which is nice. The staff is friendly, and the facility is kept pretty clean. Areas for improvement are not major issues, but rather nice-​to-​haves: equipment maintenance has improved but could be better (some cardio machines are showing some age), TVs (burn in) and corresponding audio (many units are not in working order, and are clunky and poorly placed on machines — always cracking my knuckles while running) could use updating, towel dispensers are set to give about 4″ of paper to clean an entire machine (discourages people from using them). In the scheme of things these are not a huge deal, but rather opportunities for improvement of a good gym. Overall, thanks to Aussie Fit for listening to members and making good investments in your gym. Hope you continue to make it an even better place to workout.

I have been coming here almost every day for about a month. So far I like it a lot. The value is absolutely unbeatable for the area in terms of how much equipment you can use when combined with the price.
Everything is always pretty clean, not spotless but good enough for me. After all, this is a gym. People are putting their sweaty selves all over everything on a daily basis.
The equipment offers a lot of variety, especially for weightlifting. I have never felt limited based on being unable to find a particular piece of hardware or a weight.
In terms of the clientele (an important but not always controllable part of your gym experience) they are varied and pretty typical. The cardio people, average joes, young athletes, meatheads, etc are all present and accounted for. Everyone seems nice and courteous and will let you get your reps in.
I haven’t interacted with the staff much. For better or worse (depending on your opinion), they generally leave me alone. I get a smile and a welcome from the front desk and that is about it. Personally, I like to be able to come in and do my own workout and be left alone so this is great. Nobody is pushing personal training on me or trying to upsell into classes. I did meet with one trainer on my first week for a free assessment and I thought «oh boy, here we go, this is going to be one big sales pitch for PT.» Nope! The lady was very nice and all we focused on was getting off to a good start on my fitness goals.
I only have a few issues, one of which is that some of the equipment is starting to show its age. The ellipticals especially seem to be a little clunky and do not inspire confidence. The TVs do not have great picture quality and some of them have burn in; minor nits to pick, really.

Clean, Friendly people, great staff, the instructors are wonderful. They are improving the environment and equipment all the time. A wonderful place to workout. I love this gym.

I joined AussieFIT in March, after being a member at Lifestyle and Urban Active before that. (When I say «member», I use the term loosely, because I hardly went enough to have a sense of belonging). The fact that AussieFIT is a regular part of my routine says a lot about how much I like the place.
First of all, I like not having a contract. I pay a month at a time and don’t have to commit. (Though now that I’ve been going there for a while, I’d commit to a longer term in a heartbeat!) Our son loves the Kid’s Club area (Shout out to Wendy, who he calls his «gym mom»). Every time I walk in, someone greets me by name (Morgan at the front desk, John the manager, or another friendly staff member who takes the time to get to know everyone). I’ve taken some classes now, and they are the bomb! My first class was Body Pump, and I’d never taken a class before at any gym. Jackie taughtthe class and that workout kicked my butt (in a great way). I learned a lot about my body and my abilities, and I had a blast while doing it. No more boring treadmill work for me. The coolest part of the class is that I was a 37-​year-​old man in a class with people of all ages and abilities. We were all loving it.
My favorite thing about AussieFIT is my personal trainer, Ian Theis. I work out with him two days a week, and my body is totally transforming to something I never thought I’d reach once I left my 20s. He educates me every day of my fitness journey and I’m learning to be a better eater and caretaker of my body. His rates are 75% of what I was paying a personal trainer at another gym.
I spent my first 18 years of life as a picture of health, and the last 18 years as the opposite of that. So, I am forever indebted to Ian and the rest of the staff for helping me realize my healthy goals. I’m not there yet, but will be soon! I’m glad I ventured into AussieFIT on that dreary winter day.

Great gym at a great price. Tons of machines to choose from. I do a fair amount of floor work and I can always find a place to use. Machines are kept in good condition. Facility is clean and the price is terrific. I really appreciate only paying for what I use. Employees are friendly and always greet you and say goodbye. The manager is really nice and goes out of his way to make you feel welcome by greeting you by name. I am saving $ 700 a year by switching to Aussiefit and I haven’t lost anything in a workout facility that I actually use. The best part is no contract and no hidden fees. Keep up the good work.

This gym is exactly what I was looking for! I have worked out at different places all over central Ohio but this is my favorite. There is a wide variety of classes available, if that’s what you like and the facility itself is very clean. There is a ton of cardio equipment available at any given time. The staff is friendly and knowledgable. The prices can’t be beat! If you’re looking for a great facility without the expense and gimmicks that other clubs offer, this is for you.

I was so excited when I first joined AussieFIT. They have an excellent variety of cardio machines, up to date weight equipment and a large open area for floor work. In addition, the locker rooms are clean and well maintained.
When I initially toured the facility, the AussieFIT rep went to great lengths to boast what a large open floor area they have as well as a somewhat unique resistance wall that offers a full body workout.
For the first few months, I can say it has been an overall pleasant experience. My only complaint would be that the personal trainers never wipe down equipment even though there are signs posted throughout the gym to wipe down equipment after use.
That is no longer the case. Somewhere in the corporate chain, a decision was made to close off the open floor area and resistance wall with a sign that it is for use with a personal trainer only. All though I tried, I could not get a straight answer on why this happened. I have heard that it was the owners decision and they can do nothing about it, they want to be more in line with the ‘Lifestyle Fitness’ culture and that it was because members were breaking equipment.
Whatever the reason, they have actually made for a completely unsafe environment. Today people were using every open aisle and walkway to do their floor work. You had to weave between machines and heavy lifters to get to the free weight area. To add insult to injury, none of the 4 trainers had their clients in this ‘exclusive’ area.
I have tried unsuccessfully to find an email address or contact info for corporate to convey my concerns. Since I don’t have an interest in working with a personal trainer, it looks like my only choice is to find a new gym.

This gym has been ruined by poor management/​decisions. There is absolutely no floor space left. New equipment added that is roped off and restricted. Trainers take over what little space is left with their customers. The avg customers cannot get to the free weights stuck in a corner. Poor repairs of cardio equipment-​specifically treadmills. In general, too much emphasis placed on trainers and their clients instead of those who pay their monthly membership fees and hope to be able to work out.

Equipment and facilities are average, nothing great or horrible. Billing/​operations are horrible and resulted in me now looking for a new gym.

Been coming here since it has opened, They keep the equipment running well when they break down. Employees are nice and approachable. Not really sure about the classes as i dont particpate.
