StudioTorch - Grandview - Columbus, Ohio

Never thought this type of workout would be my cup of tea, but I finally found my gym home here after trying all kinds of gyms and exercise classes. I love the circuit structure so that even when an exercise isn’t your favorite and/or is really hard, you move on pretty soon! All the instructors I’ve had are amazing and foster an energetic and encouraging environment.

I first discovered Studio Torch when I was a member on ClassPass and was trying out different gyms and workouts. Going into that class I wasn't expecting to love it as much as I did. After that first class I continued going to a few classes while on class pass before I decided to join and become an unlimited member. I love that all the workouts are different and you don't know which moves will be on the schedule for the day, but you do know what area of the body you will be working (arms, legs, abs, total body). The workouts are always a varying level of difficulty and modifications are always available. My favorite part about Torch is definitely the instructors. They are all extremely welcoming and friendly and are willing to help you throughout the workouts. I never feel intimidated going to a class because I know the instructors will be there to guide me through it. Now that the instructors know me they have also started challenging me. They push me to pick up heavier weights and challenge myself to do things I would never push myself to do. I highly recommend studio torch to anyone who is looking for their next gym.

StudioTorch is amazing! I had never expected a workout class to be my cup of tea but my opinion was quickly changed in my first week trial. The instructors are great and very personable. It has now become a part of my weekly routine. Highly recommend giving it a try if you are considering it!

I tried Torch on a whim, with no expectation of getting a membership but quickly became addicted to the workouts! Having tried out other studios in the area, I appreciated that I never felt pressured into a membership unlike other studios. Workouts are always different with modifications available. All the instructors are friendly and welcoming - especially love taking classes from Ben, Chris, or Gracie!

10/10 recommend, they also offer an excellent student discount.

This studio knows how to make workouts fun while keeping them effective.
Knowledgeable and encouraging instructors, equipped facility, focusing on a particular style everyday, and creative moves with all equipments. I enjoy station style HIIT type workouts and their high beat music keeps me going.
Best group classes I've found for killer workouts!

No workout is ever the same and great variety of movements during each class. The coaches are friendly and take time to learn your name. Great workout for all levels and everyone in the class are always motivating to be around. Having two locations with a variety of class times is great for variable schedules and express classes are a great midday break!

I really enjoy the variety of equipment that Studio Torch offers - SkiErgs, ropes, kettle bells, rowers, and more! It allows you to do many types of muscle movements as well as customize the workouts. Studio Torch keeps me challenged and prevents the exercises being too similar each day/week.

I've been attending this HIIT training gym five days a week and it's been an incredible experience. The variety of workouts is my favorite part - no two workouts are the same. My personal favorite is the total body Tabata.

What sets this gym apart is that all trainers provide modifications for both beginners and more advanced class participants. I'd like to highlight some of my favorite trainers: R.L Bowles, Jackie Geitz, Christopher Wood, Gracie Barnum, and Julia Gualtieri. These are the trainers who teach the classes I regularly attend, so I feel most informed to speak on their qualifications. This doesn't imply that other trainers aren't equally qualified or good.

R.L Bowles excels at demonstrating exercises at the beginning of the class and provides many variations of each move. He's very approachable and gives constructive feedback.

Jackie Geitz creates a fun environment with her amazing playlist and energetic presence. Her dance moves around the room are infectious. Once you attend one of her classes, you'll be hooked. Her Wednesday class is particularly popular.

Christopher Wood shows his dedication by offering corrections and improvements to individuals during class. His cardio & core class is challenging but fun! I always leave his classes feeling refreshed and free of outside worries.

Gracie Barnum is a powerhouse of energy and a great motivator. Sometimes she'll join you at a challenging station to keep you on track. The only downside is that she makes the exercises look so easy, which can make me a bit jealous!

Julia Gualtieri kicks off my week on Sundays. She does an excellent job of keeping the class motivated and provides great alternatives to challenging moves.

In conclusion, this gym offers a diverse range of workouts with skilled and caring trainers. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a challenging and fun workout environment.
