Reviews of Lionheart Fitness

Christine

Highly recommend training at Lionheart Fitness! I’ve been working with Jose two days a week for the last 4 months and it is the most confident and comfortable I’ve ever felt in a gym lifting weights and strength training. Jose is so knowledgeable and always explains the purpose of the exercise and training programming. Not only has my physical strength increased, but chronic shoulder pain I experienced for almost two years has completely gone away.

Marissa Keegan

Once you train at Lionheart, you won't want to train anywhere else! The environment at this gym is friendly, positive and makes you look forward to your next session. José and Ryan have so much knowledge and share it in a very digestible manner during training. The trainers take into consideration your goals and provide sessions that you really feel the benefit from. You will always leave this gym feeling better than when you entered, both physically and mentally! I feel the strongest I have ever felt and look forward to continuing that growth at Lionheart Fitness.

My wife and I have been going twice a week for about 6 mos. We look forward to our sessions every week and have never felt better. Great environment to learn about fitness overall, as well as, learn proper methodology for both beginners and those with experience lifting weights. Owner and staff are super knowledgeable and it shows with every session we have.

I've been working out with Ryan at Lion Heart Fitness since fall 2021. I'm a former long distance runner, cyclist, and triathlete who stopped exercising consistently in my mid and late 30s. I'd get in great shape and then life would get in the way. Training with Ryan has led me to be consistent, and I've grown stronger than I have been in a long time. Gym owner, Jose, is also great, and the clients are a good group of folks to work out with. It's a serious gym teaching serious powerlifting and bodybuilding techniques with a focus on longevity--but it's accessible to all who want to join. I had no prior powerlifting experience and had never deadlifted when I started.

Lionheart Fitness is a great place to go for someone who is ready to make a change. I knew I wanted to make a change and get into better shape (especially after months of sitting around during the quarantine). Like most people, I’ve had weeks of working out and solid streaks of healthier living only to throw it away due to a lack of motivation and knowledge. But at Lionheart, Jose broke exercising down for me. He taught me proper forms, which exercise hit certain parts of the body, as well as a daily dose of motivation. With knowledge came gym confidence which I’ve never really had before. It’s a great space where you get to focus on you while the great trainers assist, educate, and motivate you throughout your workout. Having a trainer waiting on me kept me accountable and didn’t leave me room to blow off the gym for the day. On top of all that, I could tell the trainers cared about my goals as much as I did. Jose individualizes workouts to fit my goals. It’s a great comfortable space to work out and the trainers/clients that share the space create a great vibe that makes working out not feel like a chore. Can’t recommended this place enough.

Patrick Conners

Jose is the best trainer that money can buy! His knowledge, experience, and personality shines through with every training session. I've only been training with Jose for 5 months and I've never felt or looked better physically and mentally in my entire life! I came to Jose with personal fitness goals and he made a customized workout plan to help me achieve those goals. If you are serious about changing your life for the better then signup for lionheart fitness today!

Kelly Hanley

Highly recommend! I am new to weightlifting and had never used a personal trainer before but everyone at Lionheart is very welcoming and supportive of beginners. I particularly want to shout out my trainer, Marissa. She keeps me on track and motivated

Wesley Harvin

I have been training at Lionheart for about a year now and I am the strongest mentally and physically I have ever been, even with years of athletics and training on my own. Jose along with his staff takes the proper steps to ensure that each and every client is not only working toward their personal goals but the potential they hold as well. at Lionheart, it goes beyond being physically fit but mentally strong as well which was a big deal for me and I'm sure it can be for others. In a gym that prides itself on personal growth from all aspects, it's definitely worth the time and money.

When Beyoncé wrote the lyrics “a diva is a female version of a hustla,” she was talking about Marissa. Unlike the yellowing peace lily plant at the gym’s front door, Marissa brings life to Lion Heart. Her keen eye for engaged lats is unmatched. And, as vulnerable as I feel with 170lbs on my back, Marissa’s coaching gives me great strength. If you like a side of Tennessee Whiskey on the aux with your workout, she’s the trainer for you. Realer talk- the team here is awesome. Their approach to strength training is effective, challenging and fun. I’ve struggled with lower back pain for years and 2 months into joining it hasn’t been an issue. I highly recommend this group!

Emma Hoffman

Lionheart fitness creates a welcoming environment where any level of fitness can start their lifting journey. Also a great space for friendship, joking around and great music. Jose has a solid foundation in training plans that help you progress without injury.

Michelle Ruszkiewicz

I have been training with José & Jay for about 5 weeks now and it’s been a wonderful experience. I am learning so much about form, body mechanics, and the benefits of conjugate training. Not only are they knowledgeable about strength training, they are awesome guys that are supportive, non-judgemental and easy to talk to. I always feel better mentally and physically when I walk out of my workout. Great location, clean, and has parking! I’m already seeing changes in strength and body composition. Definitely recommend!!!

Olivia Zimmerman

I started going to Lionheart Fitness in July of last year with the goal of becoming stronger and healthier in general. I work as a hairstylist and with that comes a lot of over use injuries and pain. Overtime the workouts have reduced my chronic pain to almost 0 just by strengthening my weak, tired muscles. In turn I've gained a noticeable amount of stamina and energy in my day to day. If you're looking to make a healthy positive change in your life this is a good place to start regardless of where you are at physically! Work outs are challenging but completely doable. You will be either focusing on upper or lower with some core strength movements mixed in. Sessions last roughly 45 min to an hour max starting with a warm up into your main movement (deadlift, squat, bench) and ending with accessory work. Lots of good vibes and energy at Lionheart. It's become an enjoyable part of my routine that look forward to weekly!

Helen MacMurray

I have loved my experience at Lionheart Fitness! Jose, Jay and Ryan have worked with me to get me back in a challenging workout mode. They have worked with me with regards to some past injuries and were very knowledgeable about safe movements. As an older athlete, Ryan especially has worked with me to push me but only in a safe manner. Thanks, guys!

Lisa Suárez

I started working out with Jose 3-4 x a week 6 months ago and my body has transformed! I had already lost 180+ lbs prior to working with him but needed to put on muscle and tone. Jose and I discussed my goals and he delivered! I have never felt comfortable working with weights and now know how to properly weight lift + do workouts properly instead of just all cardio on my own. Jose is more than a trainer with his knowledge + interests in all over fitness (mind, body, soul). I have recommended Jose to everyone I know + several have worked out with him and are hooked!

kenzie gallagher

Going to Lion Heart has been one of the best things I have ever done for myself! José (the owner) and the other trainers have been SO welcoming and make working out fun and so much less intimidating. They cater to your wants and needs and never stop motivating you! I can’t wait to continue my journey here

Liz Coloutes

José is professional, knowledgeable and patient. He has a way of making a grueling workout fun and makes you feel comfortable when trying something new or difficult. The gym itself is inviting and the equipment is legit. If you’re looking for more of a studio feel with 1on1 training then Lionheart Fitness is for you!

Brian Garzony

It’s worth every penny. About 3 months ago, as covid restrictions started to lift, I realized that I’d essentially been inactive for over a year. I decided I needed to get back in the gym. But I started thinking about how I never really got the results I was looking for, largely because I would just lift to lift without thinking about how I was doing it. I decided to reach out to Jose the owner of Lionheart. I knew Jose in grade school but hadn’t seen him in years. He brought me in for a consult to discuss my goals, experience, etc. He set me up with Ryan starting out 3 days a week. From day 1 I started learning the proper way to approach each day and how to lift with a plan to get the best results. Jose designs each week differently to challenge different muscle groups, and the staff actually follows the same weekly plan that the clients do. In only 3 months I’ve started to see noticeable changes and I’m setting personal records just about every day. I just added on to do a 4th day because of how pleased I am with what I’ve seen so far. Five stars. I’d recommend to anyone whether experienced or starting for the first time. Just avoid Jay. He’s weird.

mindi umbrell

José is a fitness genius. After assessing my goals and creating a unique plan for my specific needs, I started training twice a week with him. I began seeing results within two months and was noticeably feeling much stronger. I’m now training three times weekly and am addicted to how amazing I feel! He is always professional and is honestly just an absolute enjoyable energy to be around. I recommend him to anyone wether just starting out or already well into an advanced regimen. He’s your guy!

Anthony Codispoti

Can’t recommend Lionheart Fitness enough. Jay and José are both awesome guys and really put in work to help with your fitness goals, no matter what they are. They’re both extremely passionate about what they do and it’s easy to see. I haven’t worked out in a LONG time and Jay’s patience and expertise has really helped boost my confidence in getting back into a healthy routine. You need these guys!

Quinn Jones

Jose is the man. Our training is an essential part of my weekly routine - I have been working out with him for almost 2 years, going from no lifting experience to feeing comfortable and confident in the gym. I have noticed a change in my body and mindset, and continue to learn from him both physically and mentally. He takes an individual approach to each client & is a student of his craft. Highly recommend.

Rohan Bhat

I've been training with Jose for almost three years and my fitness acumen has grown tremendously as a result. Jose takes the time to observe and address specific deficiencies with each client rather than taking a one size fits all approach which can be difficult to come by but is also very important. He also studies his craft in and out of the gym which I have benefitted from by way of information he sends me to address pain or weaknesses that hold me back in the gym. I am impressed by Jose's dedication and look forward to continuing my fitness journey with him for many years to come.

Chad Fondriest

Professionalism and results are what you can expect from Lionheart Fitness. I have been dealing with a chronic injury for 10+ years and have been working out with trainers on and off for the past 6. About a year ago I dedicated myself to putting in the effort and began training with Lionheart. In working with José since then I have finally found pain relief in my lower back. I'm squatting, benching, and deadlifting more than ever while pain free! If you are ready to put in the work and want results this is place that will take your fitness to the next level.

Tim G

I was never one to go to the gym as it’s never felt comfortable to me coming from fat kid life. My experience with José from day 1 had me feeling comfortable enough to keep coming back 4 days a week for 5 months now. I honestly will say I’m not going back to anything less to help myself. I can feel my body getting stronger and looking a lot better than it ever has in my entire life thanks to José’s methods. I’m also getting injured far less at work ever since I’ve strengthened my body with him. There isn’t a trainer out there that I’d trust my time with other than José and anyone being trained under him. So if you see his trainee Atul, know that you’re body and soul will benefit all the same.

Ricky May

Jose is an amaaaaaazing trainer who provides amazing results, but the reason I love him is the dude CARES. He’s a dynamic human who cares about his clients personally just as much or more as he cares about their results. He provides tailor-made training for you (no cookie cutter mass produced generic PDF workout sheets or anything.) Most importantly, he helps you get stronger, sexier, and HEALTHIER. He fixed my posture and improved my shoulder, neck, and knee pain. Dude knows his stuff

Adam Singh

Jose immediately made me feel comfortable in the gym. He assessed my needs, helped me set goals and has been a driving force in my physical personal improvements for the past 6 months. I've gained 30 pounds of muscle and don't plan on stopping! He is also really knowledgeable in the realm of nutrition. I highly recommend anyone looking to better themselves to set up a consultation with Jose!

Eric Detric (EZ)

Best trainer I’ve ever worked with. José works with you mentally and physically. Learned so much about fitness and supplements. Lost 60lbs and gained muscle while working with this man. He’s amazing. Great gym!

Nick Lemoine

I’ve been working out with Jose for 18 months now and a total transformation has occurred - Mind, body and spirit. Jose takes a holistic approach to training and life that resonated with me and my goals. I look better, feel better, and continually try to improve my daily life with his wisdom. He is a blessing.

Danielle Topalsky

I trained with Jose and Jay at Lionheart and had a really great experience. I learned a lot in general and saw progress in my fitness levels. I would recommend lionheart to anyone who is looking for 1-1 or small group training. They are knowledgeable and create an encouraging environment!

Alexis Suer

The team at Lionheart is incredibly knowledgeable and are focused on helping me achieve my strength goals through consistency and tailored programming. I have seen significant improvements in my form, strength, and physical appearance in the time that I have been working with Jay. Most importantly, the environment at Lionheart is welcoming and professional.

Emma Johnson

Always good vibes with Jose. Would definitely recommend him to others looking for a personal trainer in the Columbus area. He has helped build my confidence with strength training and makes working out enjoyable.. I can always expect new challenging workouts from him each week that leave me feeling great!

Atul Amin

Extremely knowledgeable trainer, José has helped me reach my personal goals and then some. Through his training and advice I have gotten stronger, look and feel better than I have in my entire life. I am currently the healthiest I have been and with his guidance and training I continue to grow and surpass any expectations I once had for myself. If you find yourself fortunate enough to be taken under his wing you will be nothing but pleased.

Squid Ward

If you’re looking to get in shape quickly, learn proper form in all your lifts, and have a schedule oriented program that suits all your needs, look no further. I have been coming to Jose and Jay for only 7 months starting with ZERO lifting experience and horrible dieting, in that time my bench has gone from a few reps of empty bar, to 205 pounds. And my stomach has gone from that dreaded “skinny fat” to a solid 4 pack. All you haft to do is show up 4 days a week, and listen to his instructions. The best part is that he creates a pleasant environment to workout in, he can be serious when you need it, he can crack you up if you’re looking for a good laugh, and he can be spiritual if that’s your kinda thing too. Working out and dieting is a science, and there’s no better teacher than Jose!

Travis D.

I highly recommend Lionheart Fitness. I have been training with them for a couple months now and it’s been a really great experience. They are able to work with people at all levels of conditioning—you will feel comfortable and see results. If you’re in the Columbus area and looking for a personal trainer go to Lionheart Fitness.

Maria Foglietti

I came to Jose with very little gym experience and after 8 months of working with him my confidence had increased so much. He is super knowledgeable and quickly got me on track to working with him 3x a week. You will not be disappointed!

millanm2799

All the trainers are extremely knowledgeable, professional, and great communicators regardless of your experience level. I would highly recommend this gym to the hardcore lifter all the way to the first time gym go-er. Do yourself a favor and go to this gym

aaron wasserstrom

I’ve been going to Lionheart consistently for over half a year. If you’re looking for a private gym and personable training, I would recommend it. Ryan and Jose did a great job of making me feel comfortable and at home. 5/5
