System of Strength - Columbus, Ohio

My first Control (weight-training) class and it was w/Gracie B. Wonderful and exhilarating class. My first time attempting a pistol squat-lol, it was truly ugly. I was drenched in sweat by the middle of the class. I will definitely make Control a part of my weekly routine.

I can’t rave enough about systems of strength!! I’ve done many different gym memberships and this is by far my favorite. I love the diversity in the classes they offer - cardio, strength, mix of both, yoga, etc. No matter what I am looking for each week, they have it. My favorite class is the high and tight. When I tried navigating gyms on my own, I kept injuring my lower back. I’ve had no injuries since strengthening my core with regular high and tight classes. So appreciative of this!! Will recommend over and over again.

One way to describe SOS? Absolutely badass. The best part of this community is that everyone shows up at different levels and gets an equally good workout. I have been to many different studio type classes (yoga, orange theory, cycling) and nothing compares to the system. The trainers are professional, motivating and fun. What I have found really impressive is the emphasis on form, recovery and injury consciousness and adaption that comes with each class. This gym always leaves me wanting more. Keep up the good work SOS!!

I’ve been going to SOS for about 7 months now, a couple of times a week. The diversity of classes as well as instructors means you’re never getting the same workout twice, and never getting bored. Instead, you’re always getting your butt kicked and coming back for more. Classes aren’t just challenging for first timers, but for regulars as well, which builds a culture of people there to work hard, encourage each other and get better, stronger and faster! The classes aren’t for those looking for a casual workout, but if you’re wanting to truly improve your fitness (strength, cardio, flexibility), this is your home.

I love the system. I was doing a different group fitness class that doesn’t even come close to the classes at SOS. The coaches/staff are awesome! I think anyone can come into SOS as a first timer no matter where you are on your fitness journey!!

BUT, I do wish there was one class on Friday evening that wasn’t clocked... 😉

If there was a way to give 20 stars I would! SOS is the most incredible community I’ve ever been a part of. It’s not just about fitness to the SOS team, it’s about making sure you’re the best version of yourself when you walk out the doors and back into the world. The workouts are crazy challenging but in an amazing way, and instructors know exactly how to encourage you in the hard moments. If you haven’t been to a class, you’re missing out!

SOS is the best way to start your day! There are different types of fitness classes offered and each one is different so you never get bored. Plus, you leave every class dripping in sweat. Clocked is my favorite full body workout! Highly recommend to anyone in Columbus/Grandview area!

I’m in my 6th year of working out at SOS and I love it today just as much as I did when I started. The physical and mental challenges of pushing myself to my limits is what keeps me coming back. It never becomes “easy.” Part of the mental aspect is pushing through your workout despite 90 degree plus temperatures during the summer. If you can’t handle an hour long class without air conditioning and don’t like people sweating around you then you are probably better off joining Snap Fitness. SOS is a gym, not a country club.

SOS is a special place. People are there to make themselves better and that’s it. No one judges others, they are too concerned about themselves and their performance to worry about other people. No one cares what your fitness level is or if you have to modify moves. We all struggle and you will earn respect by just walking through the doors.
