I would do every workout for the rest of my life with Juan at Chiseled if I had the option to. I initially starting coming here so I could learn how to lift on my own & get comfortable in a weight room, but I ended up with a confidence I never thought I'd find at the gym as well as a genuine enjoyment for my workouts (this is huge especially since working out has always felt like somewhat of a chore to me). Juan is incredible. He's a trainer & a friend to all his clients. I genuinely could not recommend Chiseled enough.

I came to this gym because I was looking for a space to workout in that was as COVID-safe as possible. This is a personal training gym so there are rarely more than two people in the gym and masks are required for both client and trainer throughout the workout. We also start and end the session with hand washing and make sure surfaces are cleaned for the next client. As for the personal training, Juan is outstanding at what he does. Not only do I get a great strength workout every time, but he also pays attention to what muscles might need to be stretched to avoid any pain or injuries. He has some techniques that are really miraculous at relieving knee soreness. Overall, I give this gym five stars for COVID safety and quality of training.

Chiseled Gym is the definition of personal training and achieving fitness for life. I joined six weeks ago and have been impressed with this facility and the trainers. My trainer Jose Duran is incredibly knowledgeable and emphasizes quality over quantity. When I started training, the form on most of my lifts was horrible resulting in imbalances. Jose took the time to work with me on proper form which has resulted in me getting a more effective workout every session. The trainers here log every workout and ensure that progress is being made every week regardless of what your goal might be. Thank you Chiseled Gym for helping me on my fitness journey!! Highly recommended for anyone who is looking for sustainable fitness progress.

I’ve been training with Juan for a little over two months now and couldn’t be happier with it! I came in wanting to gain muscle and put on weight and was tired of struggling with weight gaining. Now I am up 15 lbs since I have started! I just recently moved to Columbus after graduating college but struggled with getting into a consistent workout routine. Juan is excellent at working with you to reach your goals and has a natural ability to motivate people and this creates a very positive and welcoming environment in his gym. Juan is also very knowledgeable on any sort of workout program and has years of experience under his belt. He has a huge focus on form and making sure you’re getting the most out of your workouts as well. This is something I personally struggled with in the beginning but going to chiseled has given me much more knowledge and confidence in my form. Would absolutely recommend him to anyone who wants to start seeing results and wants a positive and uplifting environment to do so in.

If you have been looking for personal training sessions, this is the place ! Juan is great and has a lot of knowledge and experience with different types of training, safety, preventing and dealing with injuries. Sessions are very enjoyable. He is very knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and accommodating with the schedule. Very glad I joined, and highly recommend that you do

Juan really care about the people that he trains, He seeks knowledge about body mechanisms and how that may derail your fitiness journey, My Cousin went with me to a training session, she is a trained pharmacist; she was taken aback about how much knowlege he had. Her words "He really does know what he is talking, I took all of this in collage". That made me feel like he does what he loves, which would always Carry on the people he trains. Tha important; you always want a trainer that care about you.Doesn’t treat you alike sales number He also has knowlege about taining for a marathon and how to get fast. I definitely recommend him

I trained with Juan for over 2.5 years (only stopped because I moved out of state) and I couldn’t recommend more! I started at Chiseled because I was an avid runner but wanted to strength train and had always felt lost in the gym. While training with Juan, I got much stronger, but also faster in my running. I was able to run my first marathon and stay injury free by continuing to strength train throughout the marathon training process. I always appreciated that Juan never tried to convince me to give up or dial back on running in order to get stronger. He was able to help me do both. The gym is always super clean and it’s a great environment!

Juan provided a great personal training session. I gained very useful tips working with him and plan to come back soon! Juan knows what he’s talking about when it comes to fitness and nutrition.

Highly recommend this gym! I've been training with a friend here for just under a year. Juan really shines when it comes to preventing injuries and stretching. He showed me stretches to help with knee soreness when running, how to engage the right muscles after sitting all day, and my favorite stretch to align my shoulders. Prices are reasonable (when I was there we paid $50 each, $100 total for a group of two) and Juan is great at having a plan for each session yet being flexible to individual requests. A nice perk is that they offer more than an hour of training -- Juan follows up, offers nutrition guidance, encourages you to get other exercise, and provides advice on home repairs (okay, maybe just me on that last one.) TLDR: Juan is caring, knowledgeable, and a lot of fun! Definitely a good investment.

Complete, clean gym. Trainers are qualified, friendly, and push you to reach your goals. Juan's approach to training is highly personalized. There is equipment here that isn't typically available at other gyms.

Helped me jump start my fitness journey, learning a wide variety of exercises and techniques. I went from barely exercising to developing a consistent routine and actually wanting to exercise.

At Chiseled Gym, Juan and Jose really care about their clients goals and are passionate about helping you reach them. I started training with Juan in September. I had a broken wrist and was hesitant about training with it but Juan personalized my workouts so that I could still work on my strength in both arms. The gym and the trainers bring such a great atmosphere and energy that I really look forward to my workouts. And I have learned how to lift with good form! The gym itself is very clean and in a great location. I highly recommend training with Juan and Jose!

What can I say? Expert personal training, quality equipment, clinically-clean studio, and, perhaps most importantly, a positive and friendly owner/head trainer. There's a reason why Juan - and Chiseled Gym - has been successful in helping people achieve their fitness goals for more than a decade running. Several, in fact.

Juan is awesome. He knows exactly what you need, and when a certain rep isn't working out, he tweaks it on the fly to make sure you're hitting the right muscles, catering to your strengths, and keeping your confidence up. He also keeps you honest. He's never pushy, but he could tell when I was just being lazy and when I genuinely couldn't make it. Can't recommend Chiseled highly enough! :)

My primary goal was to “chisel” away negative self-talk and build mental toughness to truly become my best self. After working with Juan for the past four months I can attest that his caring and thoughtful training ticked off all of the boxes and led to results! I appreciated how he tailored each workout to my immediate needs (and past injuries). His friendly manner and insightful guidance took me to a new level. My mind and body have changed in remarkable ways thanks to this partnership. My only regret is that I am moving away. This resource will be hard to replace. If what you want is personalized attention that motivates you and makes your stronger and better, then you cannot go wrong with Chiseled Gym!

I started going to Chiseled Gym in April 2016 and have been training with Jose Duran. In short, I could not be happier with the quality of the gym itself or the training I've received there. Aspects of other gyms that I've found bothersome have been removed from the equation at Chiseled. The gym is always very clean, the equipment is always in working order, there are no recurring membership fees to contend with, scheduling training is a breeze, and clients choose what music is playing. As for the trainers, both Jose Duran and Juan Vicente are fitness professionals of the highest caliber who teach and promote healthy living. They create a fun, supportive gym environment that is goal oriented and results driven. They listen to your fitness goals, create workouts to make those goals attainable, and track your progress throughout the journey. The workouts are always challenging, well structured, and well taught. Exercise form and safety are top priorities. Since I've been training with Jose, my body fat percentage has dropped and my lean body mass has increased. I'm seeing results that I was not able to attain prior to Chiseled. I'm more motivated than ever to continue learning and achieving results. Jose and Juan are the perfect trainers and this is the perfect gym for anyone seeking serious results!

I came to Chiseled gym looking to take my workouts and lifestyle choices to the next level. I started working out with Juan 3 months ago, he instantly was able to recognize some hurdles I have had to over come in the past and was able to focus on these to overall improve my workouts. The atmosphere of the gym is contagiously positive and you leave feeling outstanding. Not only was I improving my workouts but also stretching routines and diet all with the help from not only Juan but Jose and Zach as well. All the trainers are great here.

Chiseled Gym has been the best gym experience I’ve had since I’ve started working out on my own. My personal trainer Juan has gone above and beyond to push me both mentally and physically at the gym to help me get stronger and it’s obvious that he cares so much about his client’s journeys and to help them be there strongest and best self. He goes above and beyond to accommodate, and to encourage and uplift. He’s helped me get more comfortable and confident in the gym again and has helped me with building self discipline. The facility itself is always kept neat and clean, which is refreshing after being to a lot of public gyms that weren’t very sanitary or very well put together. Its a small personal gym that makes the gym experience less intimidating. It’s in a convenient and nice location, easy to get to. I would definitely recommend chiseled gym to anyone looking for an all around great personal training experience!

As a beginner starting on my journey towards a healthier life, I was nervous to start with a trainer. I stumbled across Chiseled Gym and it has been one of the best decisions I’ve made. I had the honor to train with Juan and not only is he insanely knowledgeable, but he is very understanding. I have learned so much about myself and how strong I actually am! Juan has truly been able to help me learn more about my own strengths and how to continue to build on top of those strengths. If you are looking for a trainer, I recommend Chiseled Gym 1000%. The environment and the trainers are everything. Juan not only is a trainer, but also a guide and a mentor that is there to motivate, support, and encourage you along the way. Chiseled Gym is the way to go!

Fantastic gem in Short North. Being a local business owner Juan catered to my scheduled and went over and beyond to accommodate workouts. If you need that raw gym ambiance with great customer service look no further.

I see Juan once a week for shoulder mobility and core training and my progress has been substantial. On top of Juan being a very knowledgeable man, he is also a very genuine person. You can tell he really wants to the best for people, especially his clients. I sought out for an experienced and credible trainer but what I got was that and a great friend as well. He is always smiling and gives off great energy, strongly recommend seeing Juan for whatever your fitness goals may be

My husband and I had an amazing time at Chiseled Gym. Juan is kind and knowledgeable. He takes the time to get to know you and your personal fitness goals. He also really focuses on strengthening the full body — safely and in line with where currently you’re at. I was really impressed with his approach and just overall personality. We had a great experience.
