Metro Fitness Worthington

Love this place; this is my preferred type of gym.Every type of athlete from the body builders to the first day in the gym group. Heavy weights (not mine of course, those 12 pounds were always in the same place when I got back), old school and new school equipment. Staff isawesome. Not for everyone, but if you are really trying to gain or need some good advise from some real lifters this is where you want to be.

Joined this gym in March and have never felt more at home. I am used to class environments like Orange Theory but could never be consistent. Now, I workout six days a week as well as attend a class every Wednesday at this gym. Best decision I've made this year. I wish I joined sooner.

Looking through other reviews I have to come in and give it some justice. This gym may not be for everyone. This gym is a lot more old school with free weights and a bit more heavy lifting machinery. I don't go to the Top Steak House expecting a modern vibe then leave a bad review because they are not up to date with the latest trend. If you're looking for a gym with a lot of free weights but still has a bit of everything else for an affordable price then you will like it.

It's a pretty big place with lots of free weights, machines, and treadmills, but the place is old. It was like it was built 30 years ago and they haven't done a thing to it. Some of the treadmills had bars on them that were loose and rocked back and forth if you held onto them while walking. Men's locker room had what seemed to be elementary school lockers in it, very odd. It definitely needs updating. Staff was friendly.

The membership cost is very reasonable here, about $25-$30 per month as of the date I signed up a few months ago. There's no contracts or any commitments here, so you're free to try it out without being trapped for years. Luke the guy at the front desk is informative and knows everyone by name. The gym is about the size of a warehouse filled with different machines and a wide selection of weights. They have turf and truck tires I believe as well. The Men's locker room just recently updated their lockers and has showers. Afterwards, you can purchase products from their little lounge room with couches and a TV and chill out.That's all great, but the BEST part about this gym that really makes it stand out from others in the area is that they have a "heavy room". You can lift heavy with lots of plates or hugeass dumbbells that go up to up to like 200 lbs or something crazy, and you don't have to worry about your noise level here while blasting your Heavy Metal on their speaker. I think it's great they have a separate room for hardcore lifters that way it doesn't disturb the others, since this seems to be a big conflict at a lot of gyms. There's a few gyms in the area and this one is the one you make real progress at.

You know some guys here be on steroids lmao. The gym itself gives off a very raw old school feel. Everything is iron, nothing is wrapped in rubber like you find at LA fitness or others. The equipment is a bit older, but again like I said - the gym is old school iron. If you want to just get down to business and lift, this is the place to be. The environment itself motivates you and makes you want to push your limits.

This is the first gym I have ever gotten a membership with, and I am so glad that I did!! I love it here! Everyone is friendly, and it doesn't feel "judgy" everyone's just there to lift weights, and mind their own business. I often hear girlfriends who have memberships with competing gyms who talk of men staring and being creepy, but I have yet to experience that here. Which really just adds to why I feel comfortable coming here.

This is a pretty cool gym. Everyone is friendly and helpful here, and there's nearly every piece of equipment you'd ever need to get fit. Like the other Metro Fitness centers, this place has two separate rooms for lifting. There's the main area with lighter weights, and then there's the heavy room with many pieces of equipment for serious lifters - chains, trap bars, extra heavy plates - you name it. Another plus is the dumbbells, which go up to 200 lbs. I've been in other places where they limit the dumbbell weight to 120 lbs.Speaking of equipment, there's plenty of it, so even when the place is packed it's easy to find something to work with.

Amazing gym. If u lift heavy and hard you willlove it. Atmosphere is amazing, filled with people that are dedicated to bettering themselves.

Amazing chill staff, the equipment was pretty old but still had a variety. Gym isn't as packed and the environments amazing.
