Great gym for lifting with top tier equipment, best equipment ive seen in Columbus. But there are only 2 bathrooms which are always crowded. Locker rooms and other gym amenities for somewhere at this price level like a sauna would make it alot better

Staff/gym space/equipment/lighting/mirrors are wonderful. Would give 6 stars if I could especially staff. Everyone that works there is/has been very friendly and helpful. Absolutely top notch.NPC/IFBB competitors of ALL genders.Forewarning, there is absolutely no posing practice permitted anywhere in the facility because of other rules in place. Currently, there are no accommodations for this either offered or available.This will not be the “one-stop shop” that you would hope it would be if you are a competitor. It’s a shame because at this price point, they should be able to accommodate all aspects of everyone’s fitness needs..

I visited The Armory today and as an all around gym this pace is pretty incredible. Plenty of hammer strength machines, loads of squat racks, dumbbells up to 150 with plenty of duplicate sets, and I would say a reasonable amount of cardio equipment.Generally a well equipped facility all around. The only thing I couldn't find was pre-loaded accessory barbells - and they only have a single dip station. But other than that this place is loaded.The biggest drawback that I found was a lack of locker rooms, but they do have bathrooms, and changing rooms to supplement.Generally a great place for anyone looking for a new home gym.TLDR: 8/10 WAY better than a commercial gym. This place has all the equipment you would want - but no locker rooms.

The Armory is the best value in Columbus—elite equipment and everything you need for health, wellness, and recovery all in one place. I’ve been using the group fitness classes for the past year, and they’re next-level—challenging, effective, and built to deliver real results. What truly sets The Armory apart is the staff—friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping you hit your goals.

The gym has the bones to be great. Great equipment and plenty of space.Parking. Terrible on weekends. Good luck.Bathrooms and locker rooms… only two single bathrooms. For a gym this size, I’d expect there to be more bathrooms and water stations. Or maybe a locker room? You’re paying a premium price for a gym and you’re not getting basic things like bathrooms or locker rooms. Sure they have cubbies you can throw your equipment in. But that’s not secure by any means.Again, great bones and has a lot of potential. But I’d have a hard time recommending anyone pay this premium price tag for a gym that feels undercooked.
