Reviews of Chiseled Gym

Maeve Hogel

I trained with Juan for over 2.5 years (only stopped because I moved out of state) and I couldn’t recommend more! I started at Chiseled because I was an avid runner but wanted to strength train and had always felt lost in the gym. While training with Juan, I got much stronger, but also faster in my running. I was able to run my first marathon and stay injury free by continuing to strength train throughout the marathon training process. I always appreciated that Juan never tried to convince me to give up or dial back on running in order to get stronger. He was able to help me do both. The gym is always super clean and it’s a great environment!

Juan is awesome. He knows exactly what you need, and when a certain rep isn't working out, he tweaks it on the fly to make sure you're hitting the right muscles, catering to your strengths, and keeping your confidence up. He also keeps you honest. He's never pushy, but he could tell when I was just being lazy and when I genuinely couldn't make it. Can't recommend Chiseled highly enough! :)

Ian Perri

What can I say? Expert personal training, quality equipment, clinically-clean studio, and, perhaps most importantly, a positive and friendly owner/head trainer. There's a reason why Juan - and Chiseled Gym - has been successful in helping people achieve their fitness goals for more than a decade running. Several, in fact.

Tamar Oostrom

Highly recommend this gym! I've been training with a friend here for just under a year. Juan really shines when it comes to preventing injuries and stretching. He showed me stretches to help with knee soreness when running, how to engage the right muscles after sitting all day, and my favorite stretch to align my shoulders. Prices are reasonable (when I was there we paid $50 each, $100 total for a group of two) and Juan is great at having a plan for each session yet being flexible to individual requests. A nice perk is that they offer more than an hour of training -- Juan follows up, offers nutrition guidance, encourages you to get other exercise, and provides advice on home repairs (okay, maybe just me on that last one.) TLDR: Juan is caring, knowledgeable, and a lot of fun! Definitely a good investment.

I would do every workout for the rest of my life with Juan at Chiseled if I had the option to. I initially starting coming here so I could learn how to lift on my own & get comfortable in a weight room, but I ended up with a confidence I never thought I'd find at the gym as well as a genuine enjoyment for my workouts (this is huge especially since working out has always felt like somewhat of a chore to me). Juan is incredible. He's a trainer & a friend to all his clients. I genuinely could not recommend Chiseled enough.

Ben Allan

I came to Chiseled gym looking to take my workouts and lifestyle choices to the next level. I started working out with Juan 3 months ago, he instantly was able to recognize some hurdles I have had to over come in the past and was able to focus on these to overall improve my workouts. The atmosphere of the gym is contagiously positive and you leave feeling outstanding. Not only was I improving my workouts but also stretching routines and diet all with the help from not only Juan but Jose and Zach as well. All the trainers are great here.

Chiseled Gym is the definition of personal training and achieving fitness for life. I joined six weeks ago and have been impressed with this facility and the trainers. My trainer Jose Duran is incredibly knowledgeable and emphasizes quality over quantity. When I started training, the form on most of my lifts was horrible resulting in imbalances. Jose took the time to work with me on proper form which has resulted in me getting a more effective workout every session. The trainers here log every workout and ensure that progress is being made every week regardless of what your goal might be. Thank you Chiseled Gym for helping me on my fitness journey!! Highly recommended for anyone who is looking for sustainable fitness progress.

Ryan Funk

I’ve been training with Juan for a little over two months now and couldn’t be happier with it! I came in wanting to gain muscle and put on weight and was tired of struggling with weight gaining. Now I am up 15 lbs since I have started! I just recently moved to Columbus after graduating college but struggled with getting into a consistent workout routine. Juan is excellent at working with you to reach your goals and has a natural ability to motivate people and this creates a very positive and welcoming environment in his gym. Juan is also very knowledgeable on any sort of workout program and has years of experience under his belt. He has a huge focus on form and making sure you’re getting the most out of your workouts as well. This is something I personally struggled with in the beginning but going to chiseled has given me much more knowledge and confidence in my form. Would absolutely recommend him to anyone who wants to start seeing results and wants a positive and uplifting environment to do so in.

I started going to Chiseled Gym in April 2016 and have been training with Jose Duran. In short, I could not be happier with the quality of the gym itself or the training I've received there. Aspects of other gyms that I've found bothersome have been removed from the equation at Chiseled. The gym is always very clean, the equipment is always in working order, there are no recurring membership fees to contend with, scheduling training is a breeze, and clients choose what music is playing. As for the trainers, both Jose Duran and Juan Vicente are fitness professionals of the highest caliber who teach and promote healthy living. They create a fun, supportive gym environment that is goal oriented and results driven. They listen to your fitness goals, create workouts to make those goals attainable, and track your progress throughout the journey. The workouts are always challenging, well structured, and well taught. Exercise form and safety are top priorities. Since I've been training with Jose, my body fat percentage has dropped and my lean body mass has increased. I'm seeing results that I was not able to attain prior to Chiseled. I'm more motivated than ever to continue learning and achieving results. Jose and Juan are the perfect trainers and this is the perfect gym for anyone seeking serious results!

Kristi Anderson

At Chiseled Gym, Juan and Jose really care about their clients goals and are passionate about helping you reach them. I started training with Juan in September. I had a broken wrist and was hesitant about training with it but Juan personalized my workouts so that I could still work on my strength in both arms. The gym and the trainers bring such a great atmosphere and energy that I really look forward to my workouts. And I have learned how to lift with good form! The gym itself is very clean and in a great location. I highly recommend training with Juan and Jose!

Jake Schoeppler

Complete, clean gym. Trainers are qualified, friendly, and push you to reach your goals. Juan's approach to training is highly personalized. There is equipment here that isn't typically available at other gyms.

Nidhi Punja

Chiseled gym provides a more wholesome experience to health and fitness, something you don't always experience at other gyms. The trainers Juan and José are dedicated to improving their clients health and well being and are constantly pushing us to do our best (inside and outside the gym). Additionally, they don't just instruct you on what exercises you need to do but provide the why and the science behind it which is helpful and interesting. I have trained in other gyms with personal trainers before but never felt motivated enough to continue for more than a few months. I have been going to this gym for a year now!

Sasha Lee

Chiseled Gym has been the best gym experience I’ve had since I’ve started working out on my own. My personal trainer Juan has gone above and beyond to push me both mentally and physically at the gym to help me get stronger and it’s obvious that he cares so much about his client’s journeys and to help them be there strongest and best self. He goes above and beyond to accommodate, and to encourage and uplift. He’s helped me get more comfortable and confident in the gym again and has helped me with building self discipline. The facility itself is always kept neat and clean, which is refreshing after being to a lot of public gyms that weren’t very sanitary or very well put together. Its a small personal gym that makes the gym experience less intimidating. It’s in a convenient and nice location, easy to get to. I would definitely recommend chiseled gym to anyone looking for an all around great personal training experience!

Bratati Das

I started working out with them about 3 months back and I have never looked the same! There is so much difference in my physical appearance as well as how I perceive life in general. I have become more confident and energetic! If you want an entire gym to yourself and would like someone to be constantly dedicated to you and your goals, Chiseled Gym is the place for you! Even on your worst days, they motivate you and make you go to your full potential. Juan, Jose and Kaylin are the best personal trainers I have ever met! They, not only, push you hard during the sessions but they also go the extra mile to motivate you outside of the sessions by constantly being in touch. Go to these guys if you really want your life to change in a good way. Unfortunately, I am moving out of town so cannot continue working out with them but will definitely book up a quick session whenever I am back in town!

Jacob Yount

I came to this gym because I was looking for a space to workout in that was as COVID-safe as possible. This is a personal training gym so there are rarely more than two people in the gym and masks are required for both client and trainer throughout the workout. We also start and end the session with hand washing and make sure surfaces are cleaned for the next client. As for the personal training, Juan is outstanding at what he does. Not only do I get a great strength workout every time, but he also pays attention to what muscles might need to be stretched to avoid any pain or injuries. He has some techniques that are really miraculous at relieving knee soreness. Overall, I give this gym five stars for COVID safety and quality of training.

Alon Melmed

I have been a client at Chiseled for almost a year now, and I have never worked with a more inspiring, dedicated, and knowledgeable staff of trainers. From rehabilitating injuries to training towards a specific athletic goal, both Jose and Juan have the patience, knowledge, and positive attitudes to help anyone achieve their personal goals. The personal training sessions are truly catered towards each individual, and the bootcamps and classes are challenging and will get you results! I highly suggest trying this gym out!

Beth Sacks

Chiseled Gym is truly a great place! I've been working with Zach for over 2 months and am very pleased with my results. I find Zach to be encouraging, supportive, helpful and knowledgeable with all aspects of personal training! The gym itself is a very welcoming environment as well - no need to be self conscious! If you're considering a personal trainer, look no further - this is the place! I can't sing enough praises about Chiseled!

Philip Tamoutselis

My partner and I have been working out with Jose at Chiseled Gym for nearly 2 years. Our goal at first was to simply shed pounds but Jose was able to get more specific to design a program focused on fat loss and lean muscle gain. Jose is passionate about fitness and it shows through the excitement and energy he has during each of our sessions. He is easygoing, friendly and always ensures a comfortable atmosphere. That is not to say the workouts are easy. He makes each workout challenging, stressing the importance of working the entire body not just specific areas. He also places a high emphasis on correct form with each exercise and proper nutrition. Most importantly, the results have been fantastic. We both decreased our body fat percentage and increased lean muscle mass. We looked and felt great for our wedding day and continue to make fitness a key part of our life.

Michael Toops

My primary goal was to “chisel” away negative self-talk and build mental toughness to truly become my best self. After working with Juan for the past four months I can attest that his caring and thoughtful training ticked off all of the boxes and led to results! I appreciated how he tailored each workout to my immediate needs (and past injuries). His friendly manner and insightful guidance took me to a new level. My mind and body have changed in remarkable ways thanks to this partnership. My only regret is that I am moving away. This resource will be hard to replace. If what you want is personalized attention that motivates you and makes your stronger and better, then you cannot go wrong with Chiseled Gym!

George Stefanidis

My name is George Stefanidis and I’ve been a client of Chiseled Gym on and off for about 14 years. Every time I restart my weight training with Juan Vicente ( owner)it’s like I revisit the fountain of youth. I feel and move so much better and with much ease. The personal love and attention to me and his clients, is so admirable! Juan has the biggest heart I have ever witnessed in the dedication of empowering his clients.

Basil Gohar

I used to train with Juan at Chiseled gym years ago, but I stopped due to my own issues. When I wanted to get back on track with my fitness, I wanted to try a commercial gym my wife had read about online. After meeting the manager to "talk business", I was immediately put off by the complexity of payments, including a "rate lock-in fee". I escaped and reconnected with Juan who not only scheduled me immediately with José (there are now three trainers available), but he honored a prepayment from several years back and gave me 10 sessions for it, even though rates have changed since then. Long story short, I have been going regularly for over a couple of months now and I cannot express how positive the experiece has been so far. I would highly recommend Chiseled Gym for the unmatched personal touch and relationship that you cannot get anywhere else.

Kelley Fitzgerald

I’ve been training with Juan Vicente for close to 5 months now and as I sit here, 20lbs lighter and overall heather, I can say without a doubt that I found a place I can call home. A place that improves me physically and mentally, Chiseled is a wholesome environment that welcomes any person who steps through the door. At 24 years old, fresh out of college, I found myself to be in THE situation that nobody ever expects to be in. Depressed, unfit and desperately hanging on to the motivation I felt to be a better version of myself, I left my comfort zone and scheduled a fitness assessment with Juan through the MindBody app. Within a day, Juan had reached out to me to discuss scheduling and I knew that I found someone that was flexible and someone who I would be able to be open with. A father of five and a local business owner, Juan has challenged me to not only understand what it means to have commitment & expectations but how to live it. Within these 5 months, I’ve been training 4 times a week with 1-on-1 personal sessions with Juan, and in that time, I’ve gone from squatting thin air to now being able to squat 175lbs. An achievement I didn’t realize I was capable of doing until I was driven and pushed to do it. I highly, highly recommend Chiseled Gym and every single trainer under the Chiseled logo. Very few days go by where I’m not being asked the question, “Have you lost weight?” or “What are you doing differently?” and then responding with a long, winded explanation of Chiseled Gym. That is of course accompanied by a quick slide show of my before and after photos. An hour of hard work at the gym is worth the huge amount of confidence and self-satisfaction I now find with myself. If you need the motivation, the education, or the accountability, go to Chiseled gym. You can’t regret becoming a better version of yourself.

Art Isennagle

At Chiseled Gym, Juan Vicente sees goals and possibilities for me that I never imagined for myself. Training 4 days a week at Chiseled, I find expectations are raised and I am inspired to achieve more. Goals become results at Chiseled! I recently experienced these results as I rehabilitated a tricep injury. Starting with one pound and gradually progressing in weight each week, Juan and I met and increased our goals as we carefully monitored weekly progress. I was both surprised and delighted with how quickly my recovery progressed.

Ryan Law

I can guarantee you have never had a gym experience like the one Chiseled offers. If you are intimidated by gyms this is the place for you, Juan and Jose custom design a program just for you and your goals. You just have to put in the work. Not only will you get in shape but the trainers at Chiseled are always willing to teach you how to improve you life outside of the gym as well in a natural healthy way. I had only worked out there for 3 weeks and people were already asking me if I was working out simply because I was taught how to carry myself with correct posture for the first time in my life. Beyond the workout plans and motivation though they offer something very few gyms or trainers offer, they genuinely care for their clients in a way that is amazing. I had moved to Columbus on a 3 month contract. I didn't know anyone here and I was dealing with difficult personal issues at home so it was not a great time. I saw Chiseled listed on yelp and decided to try and do something about my depression. Over a month or so I got to know Juan and Jose and they helped me immensely. However a serious complication from a medication had me stuck in bed for a week. Juan and Jose knew I was sick and alone in Columbus, so they kept texting me all the time to make sure I was alright and hoped to see me back in the gym. I don't think you could find many other trainers that would do that. I will never forget what those guys did for me.

Troy Butler

I have being going to Chiseled for a few months now and have nothing but great things to say about the trainers, facility and atmosphere/culture. I have primarily trained with Dre and the experience has been 100% positive. Starting with my goals and working forward, Dre has worked really hard to get me progressing to where I want to go fitness wise. Can't recommend Dre, Juan and Chisled highly enough. Positive, Progressive and Possibilities are the three words that best describe my mindset as I walk in the door each time.

Krista Quick

I honestly look forward to my workouts at Chiseled Gym. Juan, José and Kaylin are passionate and create an energetic and inviting gym environment. For anyone overwhelmed by a packed gym where people are waiting for you to switch machines, the experience of having a gym space to yourself or with just one or two other people is a relief. On top of that, the trainers are super knowledgable - each with their specific areas of interest. Having them to guide you around the gym and through your day to day life to meet your goals has been an amazing experience. I’ve been training at Chiseled Gym for about 2 months now, and the changes I’ve seen in my body and my overall wellness has been more than I expected. The trainers are supportive even outside of your scheduled appointments, taking questions whenever about whatever concern might come up. Scheduling appointments is also really easy, the trainers are flexible and strive to accommodate people’s schedules. It is a relief to have a trainer focused on understanding your specific strengths and limitations, teaching and training for safety, motivating you, and taking all the guess work out of your workouts. I recommend it highly.

Robert Hoffman

I came to Juan with a 67 year-old arthritic back from 35 years of martial arts. The neurosurgeon told me I would need to have six disks fused. The doctor told me I should build my core. I went to Juan to build my core and instead he showed me it is my hamstrings that are too tight that is creating the problem. I looked at other gyms first, but I do not like the club setting. I like to know which muscles are used and why the particular exercise works those muscles, and only Juan would educate me about this. He is pleasant, encouraging, and takes into account that I am not 30 years old anymore. My pain has lessened, my strength has dramatically increased, and I am wearing clothes I have not worn for years. That is what I call results.

Rohan Bhat

I have trained at Chiseled for the last two years and it's been nothing but a rewarding experience. Prior to beginning training here, I'd torn my pectoral muscle while working out and the struggle to recover from that injury turned me off working out. When I finally committed to getting back to it, I felt that I needed a capable trainer to assist me in the recovery process and beyond. Unequivocally, I got that experience training here and have recovered from the prior injury as well as made further advances in my fitness level. I highly recommend Chiseled to help you reach your goals.

Jess nCity

Working out with Juan has changed my life. I have a true appreciation for his dedication. I have never left laughing and sweating more. I am almost 40yrs old and have had upper shoulder pain for years. I have gone through physical therapy, steroid injections, and in the past heavy medications. I still get the occasional massage as it I sit a computer all day, but the pain has almost been eliminated. I can only attribute this to working out with Juan this past year. Highly recommend. He truly cares not just about you in the hour of training, but beyond that.

Whether you're looking to drop some weight, develop a new strength training program or maintain a sculpted physique, these guys will get you there. I've been training with Juan and Jose for over a year now. Each session I leave feeling challenged. This does not mean, however, they're screaming drill instructors. Far from it. Their approach is designed to get you the results you're looking for without losing a fun, uplifting demeanor in the process. As a woman I've always felt comfortable amongst these men. Their professional attitude is always on display and they're happy to offer any additional health knowledge that may be of use. They truly know what they're doing and have years of experience to back it up. If you're in the market for a personal training that holds you accountable, pushes you to perform at an increasing high level, and loves to bump 90s hip hop during work outs, Chiseled is the place to be. Get Some!

Matt L

Zach is awesome! We’ve trained for almost a year and he has been great at keeping me motivated. He is flexible with scheduling, always energized, and is serious about keeping you safe, all while helping you achieve your goals. Zach and Chisled Gym are great! Can’t recommend enough!!!!!

carol schar

I am a 72 year old woman. I have a neck injury, shoulder injury, and have had two meniscus tears. If I exercise I end up in pain and it has made it impossible for me to lift weights etc. Juan is the first trainer that has been able to help me. He is very knowledegable and skilled. He knows the anatomy well enoubh to substitute exercises that will work so I don't get injured. I had given up. He is quick, intelligent, and skilled and I trust him to know what is best for me.

Debbie Firth

I love chiseled. Juan has taken my workout to another level by pushing me to do heavier weights, and incorporating muscle confusion techniques. I highly recommend chiseled gym and staff!

Julie DePaulo (jukied)

Great place to go for a personalized workout. I started coming here a few months ago and have already gotten stronger with the help of my trainer, Kaylin. The trainers are friendly, and the intimate atmosphere allows you to work at your own pace. I recommend this for people who are serious about achieving their fitness goals!

Brad Mason

I've been a client here for about two years. Juan is a great trainer. He's always flexible and able to tailor a workout perfect for me on any given day. Highly recommend

Don

Juan is extremely knowledgeable and is excellent at putting you on a path towards your personal goals. Loved the personalized workouts and advice for everything from diet, fitness and growth.

Lani Taha

Juan is awesome, he is super knowledgeable and so positive. Every time I leave a workout there, I feel like I can conquer the world. So thankful I found this gym!

Dan Mckay

I love this gym! I have only been training with Kaylin for three short weeks, but am super happy with the results. She pushes hard and has me feeling stronger already!

Quinn Jones

Chiseled Gym and trainers Juan, Jose, and Zach are top notch. Flexible scheduling, truly personal workouts and guidance, and a sense of family whenever you walk in the door.

Zachary Chovan

Zach has been great! He's been helping me with the form I've been striving to get down for so long. Finally feel comfortable to do the big compound movements I've been to afraid to do by myself.

Phillip Loveland

Juan is a amazing personal trainer! He's great with both experienced and inexperienced people
