Billy does a great job keeping work outs interesting and pushing our limits. I am down 25 pounds and have improved my PB bench press and RDL’s in 6 months. I’m looking forward to continued improvements

I was looking for a personal trainer recently after an injury to help, teach and motivate me to strengthen my joints. The past few months training at The Spot Athletics with coach Chelscie have been life changing, she pushes me to work harder and it’s very understanding of my physical limitations. I can already feel my ankles and knees getting stronger, and the quality of my sleep has improved! This place is truly worth your time and money.

The Spot is a top notch training facility. I have trained with them since middle school, through high school and now in college. Over the years they have helped me prepare to play lacrosse in college and being a college athlete requires lots of training and The Spot is awesome at getting you ready for your season. They have the best coaches and facilities so you are able to train to the best of your ability. I have worked with Maeve, Steve and Rory, and they are all willing to help anyone succeed and have pushed me to be my best. And JL is the best to work with and will do anything for anyone! I would recommend The Spot to anyone looking to train and get better!

Awesome spot with great workouts! Coach Billy DePetro is top notch; He pushes you to do your best and makes each workout pain-free. He looks out for my needs and always knows where to encourage me to do better. His dad jokes are the icing on the cake.

I've now spent about 3 months at this gym and have really been enjoying my time here. Background about me: I've never been particularly athletic but I have always wanted to be, so I benefit greatly from guidance and encouragement. I tried crossfit for two years thinking it would get me the strength and endurance gains I was looking for. After being introduced to the programming and coaches here, I've finally seen how what I was doing before does not make sense. At The Spot we spend the entire hour doing movements that make sense, are balanced, and incorporate progressive overload in a strategic and logical manner. The coaches really pay attention to my body. I used to experience a lot of lower back pain while working out and thought it was normal - suddenly I'm feeling stronger and better at movements without the strain on my back, because the coaches know how to adjust for what my body needs. If you're looking for a group or private fitness regimen that removes all the guesswork out of wholistic fitness, or you were like me and wanted a crossfit alternative that wasn't designed to make you suffer and take your money, I 100% recommend this gym.

I’ve been training with Maeve for almost two years and she has been fantastic. She has a very good understanding of exercise mechanics and was very creative with finding the best way of to train for my particular body. She brought my 10 meter sprint from 1.24 seconds to .99 and was enthusiastic and passionate the whole way through so I never felt discouraged. I have felt myself improving both physically and mentally since I have started training with her, and not to mention she is an amazing person to be around! I cannot recommend her enough!

My daughter has been working out at The Spot during her crew off seasons for the last several years. She refers to The Spot trainers as “her 2nd family”… they are the best! They meet every athlete where they are physically and mentally and know how to take each person to the next level. I love how Maeve has taken videos of my daughter and shared them with us so we can see and track her progress. My daughter looks forward to her afternoon workouts there all day long and I think that speaks volumes to the trainers and programs that The Spot has to offer. Thank you!!

If you want small group strength-training sessions with trainers committed to your success, you have to go to The Spot! Billy and Levi do an amazing job of supporting your goals and encouraging you to consistently improve. I couldn’t ask for better training in Grandview!

If you’re looking for a new gym, look no further. The Spot is the place to go! The coaches are not only helpful and knowledgable, they make every workout fun. The small class size makes you feel like you’re getting 1:1 training without the cost. The Spot has a very good culture where clients encourage one another and coaches help you reach your fitness goals in a safe environment. I can’t save enough positives about The Spot.

Rejoined The Spot Athletics after a few years’ break and blown away by how much I enjoy the new format! Coach Billy and Coach Levi are my favorite—they are incredibly knowledgeable, approachable, and motivating. Scheduling is perfect for teachers, plenty of after school options!

Billy DePetro at the spot Grandview is awesome. Exercises are well thought out, and he simply makes you feel welcome to be part of his classes. Steve Wiedl has also been great with my two boys in speed and agility training. They absolutely love going to the class. Thank you!

I truly enjoy personal training at The Spot. Since beginning my sessions with coach Billy there’s been an appreciable improvement in my strength, endurance and physique. He’s created a personalized program that is the perfect combination of challenging and fun - with a strong emphasis on proper technique to ensure maximum results without injury. Highly recommend!! Love this place!

Billy, Chelscie, Bryan, Steve, and Levi are all so knowledgeable. The Spot's attention to detail is what sets them apart from any other gym and training facility. They make everybody feel very welcome and have the best of the best strength programs. Really enjoy the people and training here on a regular basis!

If you're looking for a professional, personable trainer to help you meet your fitness goals, Coach Chelscie Pacheco is for you. My one-on-one sessions with Chelscie are spot-on: Challenging and results-oriented. As an over-60 client, I really appreciate the fact that Chelsie doesn't baby me. She motivates me to push myself to grow stronger. Exactly what I need. As a longtime Spot client, I give Chelscie and The Spot the highest rating possible: Fantastic training and fabulous facilities.

2023 Review: Still a 5-star review and I have now trained at The Spot over 150 times! ALL of the staff are absolutely GREAT trainers, but Billy has been my trainer 90% of the time. I appreciate the attention-to-detail, motivating attitude, and humor that Billy brings to every session. The sessions are always challenging, rewarding, and more effective than what I would do if I was on my own. 2022 Review: I sincerely enjoy every training session with Billy D at The Spot Athletics! I previously took a few years off from gyms in general because of burnout and the fact that I was simply tired of the “normal commercial gym” experience. Even though I have lifted for +20 years, I have learned a great deal from the trainers and I feel better than I have in years!

The Spot is THE gym for all aspiring and current college athletes. I am a senior Division 1 soccer player, and I have been going to the Spot since high school. The training, facilities, and community will well prepare you or your athlete for the college level. I have been training with Chelscie, and she is AMAZING. Her attention to detail, professionalism, and passion for helping her clients makes her one of the best trainers around. Thanks Chelscie!

Billy and Levi are great coaches! I consider myself an experienced lifter with good form but they still provide me with appropriate feedback when needed to help me improve and stay safe. They are able to coach multiple levels of athletes to optimize their performance. I wouldn’t lift anywhere else!

I cannot recommend this personal training more highly. The team at the Spot hone into your goals in sport and help create a program to help smash those goals even when your sport is uncommon (dog agility). I have been working 1:1 with Chelscie at Grandview for the last few months to improve my sprint form/times and I continue to be impressed by her dedication and high level coaching in this area. I have already been seeing results with improvement in fitness and running faster times with my dogs. Thanks to Chelscie and the team at the Spot. Check them out to crush your sports performance goals!

I was looking for a place to help me train as I prepared for my professional football journey and i gotta say, I couldn’t be more grateful for the The Spot Athletics. Great facilities with great trainers who were always willing to help even if my training session was not with them. When I say every single trainer was willing to help, I mean EVERYONE! My specific trainer that i was able to have for 3 months straight was Chelsie. Words cannot describe the experience and how great she was with me. Chelsie is so knowledgeable in what she does and has a true passion for it and helping athletes excel and move to that next level. She was very understanding and helped with some injuries i was dealing with. Chelsie is no doctor but she would go out of her way to find answers and solutions for me if you she couldn’t do it herself. She would dedicate her time after hours reaching out to friends and colleagues that she knew could help. She helped me off the clock just as much as she did on the clock. You can tell this is a lifestyle for her and because of this, not only did i find a great trainer, i created a friendship that will last a lifetime. Not everyday do you come across people like Chelsie. If you are thinking about joining the team, PLEASE DO IT NOW! I know that Chelsie has big dreams ahead of her and there is no doubt in my mind that she will be coaching/training some of the best athletes in the world in the next few years. Thank you so much Chelsie. Its been a pleasure training with you.

I’ve been going to The Spot in Grandview for almost a year now. I really enjoy their format for strength training classes- they have different blocks that last 3-4 weeks each, so I feel like my body is consistently being challenged. Although I enjoy the workout structure, I keep going back because of the coaches (major shoutouts to Billy, Chelsea, Levi, and Steve) and the other people working out there. It’s a great community!

I highly recommend training at The Spot. Over the past few years, I struggled to find a workout routine that worked for me. I grew up playing team sports, so it was hard for me to motivate myself to go to the gym without the camaraderie of teammates or discipline of a coach. Enter: The Spot. The Spot offers all kinds of options to meet any fitness level and training preference. I found the semi-private training PERFECT for me because I get to workout in a small group and receive guidance and motivation from a coach. All the trainers are fabulous, but I would be remiss if I didn’t give a special shoutout to Billy for being so supportive! He does a great job at motivating me to push my limits and realize strength I didn’t know I had. Long story short: Go to The Spot. The coaches are amazing, the rates are extremely reasonable, and the training options are customizable to meet your specific needs. 10/10.

The Spot is a great facility full of knowledgeable trainers who want to help you achieve your goals in fitness. It's difficult to find a place that offers such straight-forward, gimmick-free advice with such a positive atmosphere. I would absolutely recommend checking it out!

I've always struggled maintaining a regular workout schedule and trainers at the Spot have made it so easy to ease into a more athletic lifestyle. When I didn't come in for some time due to a business trip they even reached out through text to check on me. I've trained mainly with Billy, Levi, and Steve at the Grandview location. They're always passionate and I have always left feeling I've put in a solid work

I have been a Spot regular for years and the coaches are one of the main reasons I keep going. Billy is one of the greatest. If training sessions were a baseball game, he would be an ANGEL IN THE OUTFIELD. But actually in the infield right up on the runner (is that a baseball term? I'm not really a baseball person), because he is super attentive and present in his sessions. Sometimes, I am feeling spicy and will attend two sessions in a day and he will go out of his way to make sure I am not just repeating the same workout from the morning and that anything I want to specifically focus on is included. He always goes above and beyond and I can't recommend training with him enough!!

I highly recommend the Spot to anyone!!! All of the staff is super friendly and motivating. I have worked with Levi for many weeks and I have gotten so much out of my time with him. Levi has helped me tremendously with improving my strength and speed and he is super friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and understanding!! Levi even helped exceed all of my goals tremendously!! After working with Levi, I feel much stronger, confident, and more empowered than I ever have before as an athlete!!!

I had an amazing experience at The Spot in Grandview! I mainly worked 1 on 1 with a Coach Steve, but all of the trainers are super knowledgeable and help you achieve your goals with customized programs. I truly enjoyed waking up at 5:30am every morning just to go workout at this gym! The equipment and facility is top notch and always good vibes with the loud music. Also, I’ve enjoyed bringing my dog. I have learned so much and gotten so much stronger. Highly recommend this gym if you are in Columbus area!

My 11 year old works with Maeve and Billy at The Spot Athletics. They are both very knowledgeable in dealing with young athletes and provide the proper amount of push and compassion. My son enjoys seeing the result of his hard work.

My daughter has been training at the Spot since she turned 11 years old. She is a competitive year-round club swimmer. She is now 13.5 years old and has continued to get stronger and faster thanks to the trainers at the Spot. They specialize in safe and effective training exercises to help young athletes physically get the most out of their workouts. They are the best!

My son works with Rory at The Spot Grandview. This has been an awesome experience for my son. He has not only become physically stronger and more athletic, he has also grown in confidence and competitiveness. I believe Rory is directly responsible for all of these positive changes. I appreciate Rory’s flexibility with scheduling as well as his timely communication. We Strongly recommend The Spot and in particular, Rory!

I heard about The Spot 2 years ago as I was working in the same building as their Dublin, OH facility and I have been coming ever since. This is more than a gym, it's an athletic training center and you are always with a Personal Trainer whether 1 on 1 or in a small group class. They provide a coach, a plan and accountability. Additionally, they push and motivate you; including those you train with. What stands out is the passion of the entire staff has for helping others. More than that it's their knowledge, attention to detail and form. You matter and your experience is important to them. It starts with JL (the owner) and all the trainers from Bri, to Adam, to Corey, to LeAnna, to Braden, to Ben, to Dave and the rest of Trainers. I was diagnosed with Osteoarthritis and Bone Spurs in my knees 3 plus years ago and had everyday knee pain. I have also competed in many endurance sporting events and thought I knew running. My trainer told me my knee issues were due to being weak in the hips and they put me on a program to strengthen them and my knee pain completely disappeared 9 months ago. My plan includes running technique and training for Ironman Wisconsin. I thought I knew running! WOW, I am now building on proper running form. I have no doubt I will achieve my goals thanks to my PT and everyone at The Spot Athletics. Thank You so much!

Billy and Chelscie are both phenomenal! I only lived in Columbus for a short time and it was a very emotionally difficult time in my life. They helped keep me on track with my health AND they were such a positive influence, as well! I showed up even when I didn’t want to, because I knew they were showing up for me. They were always completely commuted to my goals. I just moved from Columbus and I feel fit AF & in great spirits… just sad to leave such a great crew of trainers!

I was looking for a place to help my son work through a bad sports injury, in particular to help with joint mobility, flexibility, and athletic strength. He worked with Levi for several months and was absolutely great. JL and Levi thoughtfully designed personal workouts that had a huge impact on his physical health and mental state as well. Levi was very flexible with schedules and an all-around pleasant person to work with. My son had a great experience and really enjoyed working with Levi. I highly recommend The Spot Athletics.

Love working with Billy! Very knowledgeable. I keep improving. His sense of humor keeps me motivated to show up at 5am three times a week!
