The Spot Athletics - Grandview

Fantastic experience: I’ve had a great experience at the Grandview location. My trainer Billy is super knowledgeable, supportive of my goals and takes time to explain the all the details to me. He’s top notch!

Fantastic experience: Billy DePetro at the spot Grandview is awesome. Exercises are well thought out, and he simply makes you feel welcome to be part of his classes. Steve Wiedl has also been great with my two boys in speed and agility training. They absolutely love going to the class. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to The Spot in Grandview for almost a year now. I really enjoy their format for strength training classes- they have different blocks that last 3-4 weeks each, so I feel like my body is consistently being challenged. Although I enjoy the workout structure, I keep going back because of the coaches (major shoutouts to Billy, Chelsea, Levi, and Steve) and the other people working out there. It’s a great community!

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend this personal training more highly. The team at the Spot hone into your goals in sport and help create a program to help smash those goals even when your sport is uncommon (dog agility). I have been working 1:1 with Chelscie at Grandview for the last few months to improve my sprint form/times and I continue to be impressed by her dedication and high level coaching in this area. I have already been seeing results with improvement in fitness and running faster times with my dogs. Thanks to Chelscie and the team at the Spot. Check them out to crush your sports performance goals!

Fantastic experience: Working out at the spot is enjoyable and effective. Billy takes the time to make sure you are getting the most out of each set. I look forward to the atmosphere, trainers and progress each week.

Fantastic experience: The Spot is a great facility full of knowledgeable trainers who want to help you achieve your goals in fitness. It's difficult to find a place that offers such straight-forward, gimmick-free advice with such a positive atmosphere. I would absolutely recommend checking it out!

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend the Spot to anyone!!! All of the staff is super friendly and motivating. I have worked with Levi for many weeks and I have gotten so much out of my time with him. Levi has helped me tremendously with improving my strength and speed and he is super friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and understanding!! Levi even helped exceed all of my goals tremendously!! After working with Levi, I feel much stronger, confident, and more empowered than I ever have before as an athlete!!!

Fantastic experience: I have been a Spot regular for years and the coaches are one of the main reasons I keep going. Billy is one of the greatest. If training sessions were a baseball game, he would be an ANGEL IN THE OUTFIELD. But actually in the infield right up on the runner (is that a baseball term? I'm not really a baseball person), because he is super attentive and present in his sessions. Sometimes, I am feeling spicy and will attend two sessions in a day and he will go out of his way to make sure I am not just repeating the same workout from the morning and that anything I want to specifically focus on is included. He always goes above and beyond and I can't recommend training with him enough!!

Fantastic experience: Love working out with Chelscie, Billy, and Rory. They are great at training, super knowledgeable, and a lot of fun! So glad I found this gym!

Fantastic experience: I've always struggled maintaining a regular workout schedule and trainers at the Spot have made it so easy to ease into a more athletic lifestyle. When I didn't come in for some time due to a business trip they even reached out through text to check on me. I've trained mainly with Billy, Levi, and Steve at the Grandview location. They're always passionate and I have always left feeling I've put in a solid work

Fantastic experience: My 14 year old daughter attended the senior speed and strength sessions about 2x week in the summer and really enjoyed coaches Billy and Rory. She enjoyed being challenged, gained confidence and noticed a difference in her speed and agility on the soccer field.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming to The Spot Athletics - Grandview for months now and I cannot say enough good things about the facilities or the coaches. I want to specifically shout out Coach Chelscie and Coach Billy. They both explain the workouts in ways that are easy to understand and I’ve had significant increases in both my strength and conditioning since I’ve been coming here. Coach Chelscie and Coach Billy are top notch coaches and I wouldn’t want anyone else helping me reach my fitness goals. Would recommend The Spot to anyone!

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend this facility enough! The gym itself is so spacious, and all of the staff are so welcoming and encouraging. I worked with Chelscie for about 12 weeks, and go so much out of my time with her. Not only was she super friendly, accommodating, non judgemental, and knowledgeable, but she helped me exceed all of my goals. I feel stronger, more empowered, and more confident than I ever have before. I looked forward to coming to The Spot, even on days when I didn’t want to work out. I never left disappointed. Chelscie pushed me to be the best version of myself, and I will always be grateful for our time together.

Fantastic experience: I trained with Chelcie for a few one- on -one sessions. She deserves 5 stars and more. I found her to be exceptionally knowledgeable and motivational! She put me through routines I had never done before and I always appreciated her upbeat personality.

Fantastic experience: I had an amazing experience at The Spot in Grandview! I mainly worked 1 on 1 with a Coach Steve, but all of the trainers are super knowledgeable and help you achieve your goals with customized programs. I truly enjoyed waking up at 5:30am every morning just to go workout at this gym! The equipment and facility is top notch and always good vibes with the loud music. Also, I’ve enjoyed bringing my dog. I have learned so much and gotten so much stronger. Highly recommend this gym if you are in Columbus area!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to the spot for little over a year now and loved every minute! It truly feels like you’re apart of a family when you train here. I want to thank Coach Steve for pushing me past my comfort zone and helping me get the most out of my workouts.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend training at The Spot. Over the past few years, I struggled to find a workout routine that worked for me. I grew up playing team sports, so it was hard for me to motivate myself to go to the gym without the camaraderie of teammates or discipline of a coach. Enter: The Spot. The Spot offers all kinds of options to meet any fitness level and training preference. I found the semi-private training PERFECT for me because I get to workout in a small group and receive guidance and motivation from a coach. All the trainers are fabulous, but I would be remiss if I didn’t give a special shoutout to Billy for being so supportive! He does a great job at motivating me to push my limits and realize strength I didn’t know I had. Long story short: Go to The Spot. The coaches are amazing, the rates are extremely reasonable, and the training options are customizable to meet your specific needs. 10/10.

Fantastic experience: Chelscie is fantastic. I very much enjoy our Life Ready sessions and can see and feel the progress.

Fantastic experience: Awesome spot with great workouts! Coach Billy DePetro is top notch; He pushes you to do your best and makes each workout pain-free. He looks out for my needs and always knows where to encourage me to do better. His dad jokes are the icing on the cake.

Fantastic experience: I love the family atmosphere! All of the coaches have been amazing! Billy is great and makes the sessions fun! He motivates, corrects our form and is very personable! My entire family are members of the spot!

Fantastic experience: My daughter has been training at the Spot since she turned 11 years old. She is a competitive year-round club swimmer. She is now 13.5 years old and has continued to get stronger and faster thanks to the trainers at the Spot. They specialize in safe and effective training exercises to help young athletes physically get the most out of their workouts. They are the best!

Fantastic experience: My daughter Paige has been working with Maeve for a couple of months and she has come to love the modern, individualized approach to training and the comradery of the staff and her training group. Maeve has also been great about sharing video clips of their sessions to give the parents visibility into skills progression. We recommend the Spot and Maeve to anyone looking for a modern approach to young athlete development.

Fantastic experience: I've now spent about 3 months at this gym and have really been enjoying my time here. Background about me: I've never been particularly athletic but I have always wanted to be, so I benefit greatly from guidance and encouragement. I tried crossfit for two years thinking it would get me the strength and endurance gains I was looking for. After being introduced to the programming and coaches here, I've finally seen how what I was doing before does not make sense. At The Spot we spend the entire hour doing movements that make sense, are balanced, and incorporate progressive overload in a strategic and logical manner. The coaches really pay attention to my body. I used to experience a lot of lower back pain while working out and thought it was normal - suddenly I'm feeling stronger and better at movements without the strain on my back, because the coaches know how to adjust for what my body needs. If you're looking for a group or private fitness regimen that removes all the guesswork out of wholistic fitness, or you were like me and wanted a crossfit alternative that wasn't designed to make you suffer and take your money, I 100% recommend this gym.

Fantastic experience: The Spot is a top notch training facility. I have trained with them since middle school, through high school and now in college. Over the years they have helped me prepare to play lacrosse in college and being a college athlete requires lots of training and The Spot is awesome at getting you ready for your season. They have the best coaches and facilities so you are able to train to the best of your ability. I have worked with Maeve, Steve and Rory, and they are all willing to help anyone succeed and have pushed me to be my best. And JL is the best to work with and will do anything for anyone! I would recommend The Spot to anyone looking to train and get better!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication My 11 year old works with Maeve and Billy at The Spot Athletics. They are both very knowledgeable in dealing with young athletes and provide the proper amount of push and compassion. My son enjoys seeing the result of his hard work.

Fantastic experience: My daughter recently started working with Coach Rory and it has been one of the best training experiences she has ever had!!! Coach Rory has a great balance of push and support. He has set up a great training plan and in a short amount of time she is already seeing growth and results! From their first meeting they immediately clicked! She refused to go anywhere else, she knew she wanted to work with Coach Rory. He coaches like a big brother...he’s going to push you but he is also going to have your back. He works her hard in the gym (as he should) but he also gives “prep” talks before tournaments (volleyball) and checks in on her play whether that is texting for updates or actually watching a live stream. There is something to be said for the quality of a coach when the trainee leaves sessions saying I am so glad I came. That has been Lauryn with Rory. I can’t say enough about Coach Rory and the The Spot!!! Coach Rory is it!!!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Maeve for almost two years and she has been fantastic. She has a very good understanding of exercise mechanics and was very creative with finding the best way of to train for my particular body. She brought my 10 meter sprint from 1.24 seconds to .99 and was enthusiastic and passionate the whole way through so I never felt discouraged. I have felt myself improving both physically and mentally since I have started training with her, and not to mention she is an amazing person to be around! I cannot recommend her enough!

Fantastic experience: I've never worked out a day in my life before coming here and I thought about turning a new leaf in my life and giving it a try. After 6 years of attending the Spot Athletics I have not regretted a single moment. The staff are fantastic, I've made some good friends here and it's really pushed me to be the best person I can be physically. I urge anyone who might be thinking of going to a gym but just can't quite stay committed, you will want to go here and will feel the success instantly.

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Billy at The Spot for months now, and I have loved every minute of it! The workouts are challenging & customized to fit my goals and abilities. Billy works hard to make sure I am performing at my highest level & is always ready to motivate me to push harder. I recommend The Spot to everyone - I’m so glad I found this place!

Fantastic experience: My kid has been working out at the Spot for about 4 years now. I have seen him become more confident and healthy with the support of everyone especially coach Maeve. She has coached him not only physically but emotionally and spiritually. I love to see how much he has grown and I have no doubt he is a better person.

Fantastic experience: I joined The Spot 6 months ago, and initially took 2 classes per week - but recently upgraded to 5 per week because I can’t get enough. Everyone has been excellent, but my go-to coaches are Billy, Kyle, and Ben M. They know how to balance the motivation with the fun, and have brought my inner athlete out of retirement. I love this place!

Fantastic experience: My daughter has been working out at The Spot during her crew off seasons for the last several years. She refers to The Spot trainers as “her 2nd family”… they are the best! They meet every athlete where they are physically and mentally and know how to take each person to the next level. I love how Maeve has taken videos of my daughter and shared them with us so we can see and track her progress. My daughter looks forward to her afternoon workouts there all day long and I think that speaks volumes to the trainers and programs that The Spot has to offer. Thank you!!

Fantastic experience: I have trained at both locations, the facilities are amazing no matter were you go. I have had some great trainers there but Maeve Willis is by far the best for me. We have a lot of communication and she explains why I am doing something instead of just telling me to do it, which is important to me. She is full of positive reinforcement and I always end on a high note. I have made a lot of progress in the last year!

Fantastic experience: My son works with Rory at The Spot Grandview. This has been an awesome experience for my son. He has not only become physically stronger and more athletic, he has also grown in confidence and competitiveness. I believe Rory is directly responsible for all of these positive changes. I appreciate Rory’s flexibility with scheduling as well as his timely communication. We Strongly recommend The Spot and in particular, Rory!

Fantastic experience: I sincerely enjoy every training session with Billy D at The Spot Athletics! I previously took a few years off from gyms in general because of burnout and the fact that I was simply tired of the “normal commercial gym” experience. Even though I have lifted for +20 years, I have learned a great deal from the trainers and I feel better than I have in years!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism Coach Billy DePetro is one of the best trainers I ever had! He is always encouraging. He takes the time to listen to everyone, pays close attention and helps push our personal limits. I would 100% recommend him and the spot athletics.

Fantastic experience: Got brought to The Spot by a coworker and so thankful that I did! I personal train with Steve and he’s reintroduced fitness into my life in a way which I actual enjoy, making it much more sustainable. We do a mixture of strength training and metabolic activity. As a woman lifting was something I had never been exposed to, so with the personal training as well as coaching in the group classes I’ve been taught how to do the excercises the correct way, helping me to get stronger and prevent injury. Not only are the workout programs awesome but it’s such a fun and friendly environment! Everyone gets to know each other making it not only a workout but a time to socialize and have fun. Cannot recommend this place (and Steve as a coach) enough!!

Fantastic experience: The Spot Athletics is a great work out environment, no judgement, helpful trainers and a great atmosphere. Most of the classes I attend are lead by Rory. Rory is very professional, with a great uplifting personality. He does a good job at instructing the classes, while praising motivations and corrections for best results. All of the trainers that I have worked with poses great qualities and have been very helpful.

Fantastic experience: Don’t be fooled by the unassuming brick building - within the walls of The Spot in Grandview are some of the most supportive, hard working trainers around. I came here looking for help to get strong and feel better, and I got more than I could have hoped. I’ve been working with Billy for several months and he met me where I was at and has challenged me, pushed me and supported my journey to becoming a healthier me. The atmosphere is welcoming and upbeat, with tons of space so it never feels crowded. So happy I found this place and Billy!

Fantastic experience: Loving working with Billy, really focused on building mind and body towards my fitness goals. Cannot recommend higher.

Fantastic experience: I have been coming to the Spot for about a year and a half and I absolutely love it!! It is hands down one of the best parts of my day, because I know I am going to get a great workout and leave feeling so much better than when I came in. So much of what makes the Spot incredible is the atmosphere provided to its members, and that is 100% attributed to the coaches. The coaches make you feel so welcomed and everyone knows you by name. I experienced a pretty significant shoulder injury and without the support of the Spot I would not have recovered as well as I have nor would I have continued lifting and have made it to where I am now. I have been training with Louis now for the last several months and he is an amazing coach who is truly good at what he does. He has such a genuine and positive energy that make his classes the best I have ever been to. The classes are so much fun but still push you to the best of your ability. He has found my specific weaknesses and each week we work on them and every week I get a little bit better and a little bit stronger. He is super patient, incredibly knowledgeable, and always willing to answer questions. I recommend anyone and everyone looking for a gym to come to the Spot (and Coach Louis’s classes). I have never enjoyed going to the gym as much as I do now and appreciate everything the Spot has done for me.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been working out at The Spot since December 2019 and I wish I had started sooner. I found myself becoming frustrated with crowded gyms, bored of the same workout routine, and struggling to stay motivated. The gym itself is impressive but what really makes The Spot special is its trainers. Everyone I’ve worked with has been great. The entire team is welcoming, knowledgeable, and finds way to make some pretty tough workouts enjoyable (special shout outs to Steve, Lauren, Louis, and Maeve whose classes I’ve taken the most frequently and who always have a positive attitude and consistently push me to get the most out of every workout). My experience at The Spot has been excellent and I’m looking forward to being a member for years to come!

Fantastic experience: The Spot in Dublin is a world-class training facility. But the most impressive aspects of The Spot are the friendly expert coaches and the carefully planned sessions. Careful planning goes into the programming for each training session that builds on the prior week's work to get results. I'm glad I don't have to worry about that. I'm happy to leave that up to coaches so I can just get after it. No matter the exercise or movement, Matt, Braden, Kyle, Loren, Jeff, and Ben are always there to motivate, promote proper form/technique, and keep me injury-free.

Fantastic experience: My husband and I have been working out at The Spot for 4 months now and it has exceeded our expectations. It is a clean environment with every sort of equipment imaginable...and then some! The instructors are exceptional in that they quickly tune into your personal health and fitness goals- wherever you may be on that journey. We work with Matt who intuitively understands any aches/pains/issues of the day and readily shifts certain routines to accommodate needs. Both my husband and I have gained muscle, tone and an all over better awareness of our breathing and health.

Fantastic experience: I've been a member of The Spot Athletics for about six months. In those six months, I have become stronger and more confident in my lifting abilities. I am mainly a runner, so lifting is relatively new to me. The coaches and staff are phenomenal! They take their time to demonstrate and explain each movement and set. Great for people of all levels. I wish I would have found this training facility sooner!

Fantastic experience: I've taken classes at several Columbus gyms and studios, and I can say that there is nothing that compares to The Spot. The trainers are second to none - extremely knowledgeable, motivating and they care deeply about the success of each client. No matter your goals or fitness level, the trainers will meet you where you are and push you to be better. The environment is extremely welcoming and energetic. Special shoutout to Remington, who brings energy and passion to every workout and pushes you physically and mentally. I get more personalized training and better, more effective workouts here than I have anywhere else.

Fantastic experience: I heard about The Spot 2 years ago as I was working in the same building as their Dublin, OH facility and I have been coming ever since. This is more than a gym, it's an athletic training center and you are always with a Personal Trainer whether 1 on 1 or in a small group class. They provide a coach, a plan and accountability. Additionally, they push and motivate you; including those you train with. What stands out is the passion of the entire staff has for helping others. More than that it's their knowledge, attention to detail and form. You matter and your experience is important to them. It starts with JL (the owner) and all the trainers from Bri, to Adam, to Corey, to LeAnna, to Braden, to Ben, to Dave and the rest of Trainers. I was diagnosed with Osteoarthritis and Bone Spurs in my knees 3 plus years ago and had everyday knee pain. I have also competed in many endurance sporting events and thought I knew running. My trainer told me my knee issues were due to being weak in the hips and they put me on a program to strengthen them and my knee pain completely disappeared 9 months ago. My plan includes running technique and training for Ironman Wisconsin. I thought I knew running! WOW, I am now building on proper running form. I have no doubt I will achieve my goals thanks to my PT and everyone at The Spot Athletics. Thank You so much!

Fantastic experience: This is hands down, the best gym I have been a part of. The semi-private training sessions are an insane value, and the trainers at this gym are top notch. I have had the pleasure of working with Louis & Lauren and both are excellent. It is a friendly, inviting atmosphere. Do not be intimidated coming into this gym, because everyone is welcoming, from the trainers to the people you will be working out with. If you aren't able to complete a movement, the trainers will make sure to give an exercise to work on specific motions to get you stronger for more advanced movements. The Spot Athletics has me excited to work out and train again. If your in the market for a gym, or looking for a change, you will not be disappointed making this your new home.

Fantastic experience: I joined the Spot Athletics about a month ago. I was looking for a gym that would push me and motivate me to start exercising again. The spot does exactly that for me. Every class is personalized to your ability and the coaches really take the time to make sure you are performing to your ability as well as push you to succeed past that. I enjoy going to workout now which is something I have always dreaded. Everyone at the spot is extremely friendly and welcoming! All the coaches know your name when you walk into a class and make sure you get to know other members. I appreciate everything the spot has done for me and I am so glad I decided to join this gym.

Fantastic experience: The Spot is wonderful. I have always tolerated exercising, but now I actually look forward to my training sessions, especially with Coach Louis. He is excellent. He makes training sessions fun while pushing me to do my best. He is also extremely kind and patient with his clients. All of the coaches are wonderful. It feels like everyone knows my name, even if I haven’t trained with them before. The other clients are The Spot are great also. It’s a great community. I have never felt this strong or confident and I owe it to The Spot!

Fantastic experience: I have been training here for almost a year now, and I am so glad I made the decision to train here! I do the personal training sessions, and also try to get to classes as those are included in my rate. Both the classes and personal sessions have been so encouraging and helpful in my fitness journey. I know when I come to the spot I am going to get a great workout, and leave feeling ready to conquer my day. It is so nice that all of the trainers and staff know who I am, and motivate me every time I am in! I highly recommend The Spot Athletics to anyone that loves to workout, hates to workout but knows they need to, or anyone in between!

Fantastic experience: I was so fortunate to come across The Spot while looking for a gym two years ago. This training facility has made me look forward to working out again. All of the trainers are extremely knowledgeable and welcoming. I do most of my sessions with Cory, who always provides a challenging workout, along with plenty of entertainment, and always pushes you to reach your full potential. The atmosphere and company is very high energy and supportive. They are so great at accommodating each person’s needs in every session. I would recommend The Spot to anyone looking to reach a fitness goal or just get back into it.

Fantastic experience: I have been working out and personally training at The Spot in Grandview for well over a year.The Spot is unique in that you are in an environment comprised of a variety of people. It is fun and invigorating to workout amongst all ages and ability levels. When in the gym I have been surrounded by everyone from professionals athletes to young children. Everyone is happy and encouraging and the overall atmosphere is fantastic. The staff at The Spot is unparalleled. Every staff member greets and treats you on a personal level and most importantly, they are authentically caring. My coach Matt is extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of health and fitness and every single workout is varied and suited to my personal needs. I attribute my good health to Matt’s personal training. His manner is pleasant, encouraging and caring. He not only does a fabulous job of traditional workouts, but adds elements into each workout that I believe are vital to injury prevention and overall good health. The Spot in Grandview has been an important and positive part of my life. My two children have also trained at The Spot and had wonderful experiences. Good health is vital to a happy life. The Spot in Grandview is a wonderful avenue to ensuring both!

Fantastic experience: I have been a member at the Spot for 5 years! I have seen awesome coaches come in and a great community that feels like family. I train with Coach Johnny and he is truly amazing. I play competitive volleyball and he understands everything that comes with being an athlete. He implements a program that pushes me to become a better player while modifing workouts depending on how my body is feeling each day. Mornings are tough for me but he brings the energy and laughs I need and I look forward to my training sessions! Highly recommend!
