Self Made Training Facility Columbus

Fantastic experience: This is THE finest gym in Columbus. I have been working with my trainer at this facility for the last 9months and fully appreciate the cleanliness of the gym, the amazing equipment, and the clientele. SelfMadeTrainingFacility provides everyone (from a novice, like myself—to elite athletes) with the space, equipment, and access needed to achieve their fitness goals. Honestly 10/10.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Nevaeh at Self Made and she is absolutely amazing! Different than any other coach I’ve had in the past, she makes sure to push me harder than ID think to push myself but not to an uncomfortable or unsafe point, she just sees I can do more before I see it myself! The whole facility has a welcoming atmosphere and everyone is friendly but also engaging and helpful!

Fantastic experience: I am absolutely over the moon about Self Made Training Facility!! This is the first time in my life that I have felt comfortable & at home in a gym setting. All of the equipment is amazing & the whole gym is spotless. It truly feels like a gym family here :-) My trainer, Karlee Gilliam (KGFit), is also OUTSTANDING. Karlee radiates positive energy in and out of the gym, is friendly, caring, and inclusive. Karlee is passionate about making fitness and wellbeing accessible for all, and truly tailoring each client’s training plan to meet their individual needs and goals. It is evident that Karlee pours every piece of her heart into the work she does, through all of her clients’ insane progress and successes. I would recommend that anyone wanting to take the first step in their healing and fitness journey to work with Karlee!!! Such an amazing human :-)

Fantastic experience: I've consistently been going to Self Made Training Facility for the last two years - since Jan '21. The atmosphere is a perfect fit for me as everyone there is with their own trainer. This makes it easy to work in a set and provides order/kindness that the other big-box gyms don't give you. My trainer Jim has been great!!! He is incredibly flexible and has modified my workouts with ease during some injuries. Finally, you can tell a difference in how the gym operates, smells and looks since ownership recently changed hands. Much improved.

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Kent Scott and can’t recommend him enough. He is knowledgeable, motivating, and keeps our sessions constantly moving. I am close to meeting my weight-loss goals and I can’t wait to keep going

Fantastic experience: Everything you need is right in this gym. One of the best gyms I've been too so far. And they have some of the best trainers in Ohio hands down.. This is not up for debate either. I said what I said! Great gym and always clean...

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training at Self-made since April 2021 and I’m in love with it. I train with Karlee who is amazing. She is always super flexible with my schedule and always ready to work and push me to my limits. I love the environment of self-made, it’s clean and everyone else around you is friendly too. If you need any fitness needs, I highly recommend KGFit by Karlee!!

Fantastic experience: I train with Karlee at Self Made and have had amazing results! Everyone is professional and prompt at the gym. Self Made also has excellent equipment and machines. Karlee is flexible and really determined to coach me to be physically fit and make healthier eating choices. Would recommend her to anyone who wants to join!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going here for 9 months just about now. And this is my favorite gym! I love the atmosphere, I love that everyone in there is always so nice. You don’t feel judged. Derek Troyer is my trainer and I love him! He’s helped me in so many ways possible. Best decision of my life!!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism , Quality Jim Cash is a great trainer you should look him up if you want to see results!

Fantastic experience: - Self Made Training Facility (SMTF) is a top notch facility to go if you’re looking for help reaching fitness goals. All trainers I’ve interacted with are professional, especially Jonathan Nossa. As a veteran of both the Marine Corps and Air Force, Jon displays character traits that you’d expect from someone with 20+ years of military service. He is always available and self-improving so he can better serve those who he trains. His plans are written out for you to follow, and will go in depth as you want (nutrition, workouts, etc). At the beginning of the month he already has a plan for the weeks ahead, but can adapt on the fly as necessary to meet current needs or to refocus on something that may need more attention. If you’re unable to come into the facility itself, Jon will write-up workouts that you’re able to complete on your own (if you have the self-dedication and mental fortitude). - Jon is also more understanding than most, and understands that life happens. Jon has had clients poached due to their constant fraternization with other trainers, looking for the best deal possible. He has accepted these clients back from the good of his heart, only to have them prove to be exactly what they’ve been in the past. However, this has not stopped him from working his hardest for the clients he does serve. Jon has my friendship and my business for life. - Any negative review of Jon most likely comes from immaturity, and most likely comes from the type of person that would leave him for another trainer in the same facility, only to ultimately return… then attempt to blast him for wanting to use him more but pay him less.

Fantastic experience: For anyone looking to make real fitness accomplishments Self Made Training Facility is the place to meet all goals! The diverse collection of training professionals and equipment allow for a truly personalized experience. After training with Jonathan Nossa my body has finally started to make the changes I’ve always wanted! SMTF is an exceptional gym!

Fantastic experience: I work out with Cory (CORCARPFIT) about twice a week. Super great guy, he’s got a great energy and is always keeping the workouts new and entertaining. I never know what to expect going in, but I always feel great afterwards. He knows how to push in just the right ways and is super aware of past injuries and works around them. Facilities are always really clean too!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing facility, Wes is the man! Fantastic trainers, I currently train with CorCarpFit and could not be happier. Before training with Cory I was decently athletic, worked out for fun, and knew my way around the gym. I met with Cory to dial in my form and take my diet and training to the next level. And that worked, you can find my progress pics on his social platforms. But at the risk of sounding like an ad, Cory's value add to my life has been so much more that. The shifts in my mindset and mental wellbeing have been tremendous. Looking back, almost unbelievable. Since working with Cory I have lost fat, gained confidence, gained muscle, got a huge promotion, ran my first half marathon, increased my salary by 23.5% (covering the cost of training by the way), deadlifted 400 lbs, stabilized my core and back, the list goes on. If you want a smiley voice encouraging you throughout a workout, hire any personal trainer. If you want to see results that you weren't even asking for, hire Cory Carpenter.

Fantastic experience: Awesome place to get after it . Trainers are there to get you committed to your goals . Derek Troyer is the best !!!!!

Fantastic experience: Wonderful gym. Everyone is super friendly and helpful. Honestly the cleanest gym I've been to in Ohio. Can't recommend enough.

Fantastic experience: Awesome location, great facility and top notch people! Love the trainer centric method that keeps your gym time productive! No junk training sessions!

Fantastic experience: Self Made Training Facility is a fun, interactive gym that makes you feel welcomed and at home. The trainers are all passionate about their work. Trent Burke is the trainer I have been working with. You come in with a goal and he will get you there. He’s hard working and enjoyable to work with. He designs work out to fit your specific desires. I’m a cheerleader so he makes my work outs fun by incorporating exercises that will strengthen me in the areas that I need for cheer.

Fantastic experience: I have been working with Trent Burke Fitness since November and love it! He pushes me enough that I'm seeing results quickly but not so much that I dread going to the gym. He also customizes workouts to improve skills that are important to my end goal. I also love that the gym is not open to the public which keeps it from being overcrowded! Highly recommend both Trent and SMTF!

Fantastic experience: Starting at Self Made as a trainer when we first opened up, was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made to help grow my buisness. I’m so glad I jumped at this opportunity when I did. All the people I’ve meet and the friendships I’ve made here, will last a lifetime! The environment and equipment is the best of the best. If you’re looking for something new and or different, this is the place to be!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym with all new equipment and at least one of every possible machine. Also has a boxing ring and an octagon for MMA. Whatever kind of training you are into, you will find a way to do it here with the best equipment and a host of very knowledgeable trainers. The minute you walk into this place you will feel the energy and enthusiasm from both the trainers and the clients.

Fantastic experience: I have been working out with Dylan Harlow for quite some time now. If you want results hes the right trainer for you. It is unlike any other training I have had. The training dylan gives out is intense, Its harder than any football, baseball, wrestling training and close if not better than any military workout I have had. When I started I wanted to gain muscle and pack on mass and dylan helped me with that. I started seeing results in as little as the first month. I would highly recommened at least trying to reach out to someone at this gym

Fantastic experience: Darren Boykin at Self Made is the best trainer I could ask for. I'm looking to get into better shape for my fiancée before our wedding, and this guy is helping to make that happen! All of the workouts are tailored to my abilities and he ensures that I get the best value in our training sessions by packing a ton into one hour. The facility is brand new, all the equipment you'd ever need (even an octagon ring!) and the atmosphere has been supportive and feels tight knit, in that everyone is rooting for you too succeed. Darren is very encouraging and you can feel his passion in what he does and his faith in your progress. Highly recommend!! Don't put it off anymore!

Fantastic experience: Awesome facility- they have everything you need to accomplish your goals. Josh is a beast and is one hell of a trainer. One session in this facility and with him and you will be blown away! Check it out!

Fantastic experience: If I was a trainer I would seriously give this place a look for the sake of my clients. It has some of the nicest equipment I've seen, including some serious equipment for those who are serious about lifting. There's an MMA cage, a boxing area, and some serious equipment for those who are in to serious powerlifting.

Fantastic experience: This gym is the best! Everyone is nice and welcoming. All of the equipment is new and there is a great variety of everything. I train with Brittani Koons and she is amazing! She is so encouraging and pushes me to do the best that I can. I've only worked with her for 6 weeks now and I'm already seeing results.

Fantastic experience: SMTF is such a welcoming place and has amazing equipment! My trainer Darren Boykin has pushed me to reach goals & has so much heart and drive going into each of his clients! I have already dropped body fat which is one of my top goals!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been waiting for a gym like this to open up. It’s not crowded, and the machines, free weights, boxing equipment are top of the line. All the trainers there are very knowledgeable, especially Darren Boykin. They want their clients to crush their goals. Great vibes all around!

Fantastic experience: I've trained with Wes for years as an endurance sport athlete, learning something new and reaching higher goals each year. Since Wes opened Self Made Training Facility some of my training has moved there. What an eye opener, the state of the art facility is incredible. No junk miles, no junk workouts and no stale goals!

Fantastic experience: I’ve trained with Wes for a long time and realized incredible results. My 9 year old trains Brazilian Jiu Jitsu with Shaw. And loves every second of it. Self Made is a great facility with top of the line equipment and trainers.

Fantastic experience: I have tried on several gyms; had some success only to give up or burnout. SMTF is unlike any other gym so far! They have state of the art equipment with Trainers that not only play the part but live it!! I instantly get pumped just walking through their doors. You want motivation?? Give this place a try you will walk out with a whole new perspective of your own capabilities ‍♂️ #summerready #smtf

Fantastic experience: Outstanding trainers/coaches. If you are serious about training and conditioning, this is the place. I recommend Self Made without hesitation.

Fantastic experience: I have been working with Wes since November 2018 at SMTF. The place is great! Very welcoming and non intimidating. Depending on what you want to accomplish they have a trainer for you. I chose Wes because of his experience as a triathlon coach. I couldn’t be happier. We are making great progress and I am feeling ready for the outdoor season. I look forward to our workouts every week!

Fantastic experience: I am a working mother and wife and going to self made is the highlight of my week. Even my kids take classes with coach Shawn. We drive across town to experience the family that is self made. Really knowledgeable staff.

Fantastic experience: Self Made Training Facility has brought me an opportunity that I had to seize! As a trainer at a corporate gym, I saw very little growth and SMTF was my way for me to become more. Not only has this place allowed me to grow as a business and physically but I also became part of a family here. We pride ourselves in saying "Iron Sharpens Iron". The atmosphere here is second to none! - Dylan, Fitness Coach

Fantastic experience: Self made training facility is great! I’m a germ freak so I’m very weird about cleanliness and this is definitely one of the cleanest facilities I’ve ever worked out in! I work out with Darren Boykin and he’s one of the best trainers I’ve ever worked with. He explains each workout and is always there as backup if you need help with a set. His energy and drive to help you reach your goals is what motivates me to keep coming back each week!

Fantastic experience: I just started training at this facility with Joshua Earwood let me tell you l love the atmosphere they have top notch equipment and Josh is by far hands down the best trainer I have ever had he is pushing me further then I have ever done in my life. I'm already seeing the results and loving it. I would highly recommend this facility to anyone who is serious about their fitness goals!!!

Fantastic experience: Very up-to-date. Very clean. Very welcoming to all fitness goals and body types. Remember: You're there to work on improving yourself and so is everyone else. Great attitudes that raise you up rather than speak down.

Fantastic experience: Self Made Training is in a class of its own. With top of the line equipment and a great atmosphere it presents an image of professionalism that will set you up for success! I'm so happy to be working with my trainer, Josh Earwood, who motivates, inspires and encourages me until I drop. It's a destination, expect to be impressed!

Fantastic experience: SMTF is THE place to workout. Top of the line equipment, friendly atmosphere, and best of the best trainers. Josh Earwood is one of the best trainers I have had the pleasure of working with. He truly cares about every single one of his clients and does anything and everything he can to see them achieve their goals. If you want results he is the one for you!

Fantastic experience: SMTF has allowed me to push myself to new heights while training with my personal trainer Cory Carpenter. This gym has top notch equipment and has a positive atmosphere for all skill levels.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely nothing bad to say about this gym. Top notch equipment, excellent Aristides of supplements, every trainer there looks like they love what they do and I know they do. Super clean as well, that’s the first thing I notice going into a gym. Trainer recommendation: Darren Boykin (Flex Luger). By far the most personable and approachable person in and out of the gym. He’s not just there to take your money and hope to make a difference in your life, he WILL make a difference in your life and genuinely cares about his clients while they’re with him and everyday they’re not.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training at Self Made since mid November with the always dancing, positive vibe Lexi! Her passion for training really shows each day you show up. She pushes you to the limits and is always there for you as a friend as well. I’ve seen tremendous difference in myself within these few months and it’s amazing! I’ve been trying to get these results for a year before but have had trouble keeping myself accountable! Lexi always is checking in on me and helping me track my macros to achieve my goals faster. Thanks to Self Made for all their amazing trainers for always welcoming everyone and having an amazing no judgement atmosphere! Absolutely the gym to be at!

Fantastic experience: I have been to many gyms. I can honestly say this one is by far the most fun and welcoming facility I have been apart of. I workout with @_bliftedup Brittani Koons and she is a ball of energy and makes me want to workout. When I look around I see all the trainers and what I can potentially learn and do. Brittani and I are trying one of Ryan’s boxing classes together cause I’m scared to try new things haha. She makes me feel like I’m not in this alone and that to me makes her stand out and makes me want to keep coming back to the self made training facility. They all have the same goal and to help you reach yours.

Fantastic experience: This is a fantastic place to train! It is always spotless and has a positive, non-judgemental vibe. My trainer, Brittani, is a miracle worker! She creates challenging workouts that push me beyond my perceived limits and is patient and knowledgeable enough to adjust the workout as needed along the way. I look and feel better than I have in years!

Fantastic experience: Such an awesome facility! From the workout equipment to the trainers, hands down best gym in & around the Columbus area. The best vibes, judge free zone & everyone is so welcoming. Definitely feels like a family. Love this gym & my trainer, Darren Boykin!

Fantastic experience: It starts with the environment. 5/5 when it comes to the energy, the motivation, and the diversity each trainer expresses in their routines and clients. Not to mention the speakers in this place are nice and the aux is always playing something good since it comes from personal playlists. The equipment, the color scheme, the plates, the new gym smell, I'd feel like I was insulting this gym haven for giving it 4.5 stars.

Fantastic experience: I joined the team at SMTF as a trainer back in October and it was the best thing that has ever happened to my business. The environment of the gym is up there with the best I've ever been around. The equipment and culture is a breeding ground for hard work and success, but still offers a warm and inviting atmosphere for personal training clients of all ages and experience levels. The trainers and gym owners all work together to be the best they can possibly be, both for each other and their clients. Self Made Training Facility truly lives by an 'Iron Sharpens Iron' mindset; and if you're business is feeling dull you need to be here! -Cory, ACE CPT

Fantastic experience: This place is awesome! I work with Ryan Dickey @RyanDickeyBoxing All brand new equipment. 24 hour access with a personal trainer. Boxing ring, octagon, turf field, Olympic lifting sets, InBody machine, dumbells up to 150lbs, and all the other normal gym equipment. Highly recommend.
