    Went here for a meeting, this is a well kept old building. It seems fresh even though it's probably 100 years old

    As local photographers, Seth and I love every opportunity to photograph at The Athletic Club of Columbus. This iconic Columbus venue is so special and provides a romantic, classy and regal experience. Every person at the ACC wants a couples day to be special.

    This is a poorly managed club. The Athletic Director is lazy and does not implement members suggestions for positive changes. This organization has potential but due to apathy and lack of leadership skills this fitness social club has gone downhill the last 10 years. All the members I know think it’s time that the Athletic Director was replaced. The GM has also out stayed his welcome. He quit his position about 4 yrs ago and barely allowed to come back. He seems to not know how to manage a business Vs was a cook before. He seems insecure and just wants people who do what he says. He just wants to silence others. Employees, staff, and Directors are allowed to park in the front row to third row of parking lot which, makes the rest of us and many other elderly members left to park on the other side of the parking lot which is further away from the club. Everyone knows ALL employees at any business whether it is a restaurant you work at or the mall, or even a department store employees are to park the furthest from the business entrance thus allowing customers & members the closest access to the front door(s). Even the Athletic Director parks in the front row everyday taking up a parking spot away from members. This, demonstrating his concern for himself Vs others. This Ath Dir. also hardly ever returns anyones calls text or emails. Therefore, forcing members to try and figure out things for themselves. We get frustrated. The food quality has also gone downhill since Chef John. Staff even tell us members “You are not allowed to watch Fox News now because it’s considered controversial but it’s ok to watch CNN because it’s considered not controversial according to Administration.” This is Discrimination and Ridiculous rules. Furthermore, they have a lady name Brooke who oversees billing and is rude and cold to members. When you have questions she treats you like you are a bother and gas lights the customers at every turn- - unbelievable. Many members have left the last seven years. The club seems to operate on a shoestring and makes all decisions based on what brings them in revenue. We do not recommend this club. Looks sorta pretty on the outside but has deep internal concerns. Save your hard earned money. Disappointing and frustrating experience.

    The Athletic Club of Columbus is a wonderful blending of upscale facilities, features, and programs with old school charm and decor. ACC is the perfect place to enjoy the gym, fine dining, spa treatments, barbershop, plus many social events for members. Please call and request an application for Membership and let your ACC experience begin.

    Great place to enjoy a workout, swim, steam. Exceptionally modern and well-appointed facility! Top notch personnel. The morning “vibe” was especially positive; as an out of town reciprocal club guest, I found the hospitality first-rate. If I am ever back in Columbus, I will definitely make this a certain stop.

    I am from out of town, I was in your pool area an hot tub. The pool was cold an lots of kids horseplaying. The hot tub was brown, we didn't even go in it. It was years ago, there was a man who keept things in order. When he moved on ,the hot tub an pool has went downhill. The man won the best pool in the city award 7 yes in a row. Hope u can get it up to that standard again ....someday

    Great Facility! Awesome Community! Entertaining Events! I joined the ACC 5 years ago as a 26 year old you professional and it's been a wonderful experience. I've met some great friends through the different events and sports leagues. The gym is solid, the facilities are clean, and the atmosphere is friendly and welcoming. They recently renovated the first floor including a rebuild to the main bar and restaurant. In addition they added a cafe which is great for small meetings or just chillin with some java and getting some reading done. The staff has always been friendly and courteous and always make it a point to remember my name and interests. I would recommend the ACC to anyone who is looking for a great place to network, stay fit, and feel apart of the Columbus community.

    Fantastic. We had our wedding here and the staff and venue were perfect. Room was set up better than I had planned. One of the staff members checked in regularly with me and my husband to see if we needed anything

    Tried to get a job in the kitchen and it was a nightmare. Chef Matt never called me back after our initial conversation in which he requested a in person interview. 8 calls and a week later hadd to talk to the GM and still never got a call from the chef. For what they pay an hour people should be lined up around the corner. Makes me wonder.to bad an awesome place.

  • 5/5 Theodore A. 3 years ago on Google
    Had lunch here for the first time today. Had “The Club” and it was phenomenal. Generous portion and the price was spot on. A fantastic lunch menu with a great variety of choices. Had the Habanero Wings as our appetizer. Slow roasted not deep fried. Presentation of all the food was beautiful. Loved Billy at the bar. Great service and great drinks. 10/10.

    The BEST of the best venues in Columbus! Not only is their space drop dead gorgeous, but the staff is amazing to work with! As a wedding photographer, I have worked at countless venues, but ACC is one of my favorites and is always a pleasure to work with. They are accommodating, will ensure everything will run smoothly, and the space is BEAUTIFUL! Their ballroom is so classic and timeless and an amazing space. If you are considering them for your wedding, DO IT! You will not regret it, all of my ACC brides love them!

  • 3/5 Ryan S. 4 years ago on Google
    The gym and decor are great, but I feel very disrespected after they microwaved my steak. I don't care how busy it was, next time I'm invited here, "I'd love to join you for dinner but it won't be at the ACC."

    The best private club in Columbus! Featuring squash, basketball, swimming, yoga, Pilates, spinning, group fitness, multiple restaurants, cafè and more! I am proud to be a member and have met some of my closest friends at our Club.

  • 5/5 Linda C. 5 years ago on Google
    Our son is a member of the Athletic Club and treated us to breakfast. It was outstanding! The food was wonderful, the staff was very attentive. We were given a tour of the entire building and it's simply gorgeous and very well kept. The building is very old, but very well maintained.

👍👍 Great place to park and workout if you are a TRUCK DRIVER. As long as you are out of the way and not blocking people getting in and out, etc they have always let me park here. In return, I always keep an eye on their property after hours FOR FREE whenever I’m here to make sure nobody messes with it....

😐 Gym is nice enough but safety is getting to be a real issue. There are lots of issues with equipment being broken for months on end, fights that start on the basketball court spill out to the gym floor and now there has been a shootout in the parking lot because they ignore the problem.
