After moving to Columbus / The Short North I needed a workout routine that was convenient, challenging and personalized. Chiseled delivered EXACTLY what I was looking for! Juan knows his stuff and the private studio environment is perfect. Without Juan, I would not have been able to run my first half-marathon, one of my most significant personal achievements.
I continue to be driven and inspired by Juan's passion for holistic, healthy living. Chiseled Gym has definitely made a very positive impact on my life. A mutual friend referred me to Juan. I gave him a month, then another month and finally made it to a year this past Winter. I'm now making room on my schedule for more time in the gym, thanks to the life changing results that Juan encourages.

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 have being going to Chiseled for a few months now and have nothing but great things to say about the trainers, facility and atmosphere/culture. I have primarily trained with Dre and the experience has been 100% positive. Starting with my goals and working forward, Dre has worked really hard to get me progressing to where I want to go fitness wise. Can't recommend Dre, Juan and Chisled highly enough. Positive, Progressive and Possibilities are the three words that best describe my mindset as I walk in the door each time.

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

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

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

I’ve been training with Juan Vicente for close to 5 months now and as I sit here, 20lbs lighter and overall heather, I can say without a doubt that I found a place I can call home. A place that improves me physically and mentally, Chiseled is a wholesome environment that welcomes any person who steps through the door.

Whether you're looking to drop some weight, develop a new strength training program or maintain a sculpted physique, these guys will get you there. I've been training with Juan and Jose for over a year now. Each session I leave feeling challenged. This does not mean, however, they're screaming drill instructors. Far from it. Their approach is designed to get you the results you're looking for without losing a fun, uplifting demeanor in the process.
As a woman I've always felt comfortable amongst these men. Their professional attitude is always on display and they're happy to offer any additional

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!

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, my form on most of my lifts was pretty bad 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.

My partner and I have been working out with Jose at Chiseled Gym for nearly 2 years. Our goal at first was to simply shed pounds but Jose was able to get more specific to design a program focused on fat loss and lean muscle gain. Jose is passionate about fitness and it shows through the excitement and energy he has during each of our sessions. He is easygoing, friendly and always ensures a comfortable atmosphere. That is not to say the workouts are easy. He makes each workout challenging, stressing the importance of working the entire body not just specific areas. He also places a high emphasis

I have been working out here for about 2 months now and have loved it. Thanks to the awesome trainers I have already learned better posture and technique and get so much more out of every workout than I have in the past. The trainers here believe in you and your ability to get into shape regardless of what fitness level you start out at. They will meet you at the level you are at and push you to get better and stronger. You can tell the trainers are really dedicated to your fitness. They are even in touch on days I'm not at the gym and encourage me to be active and healthy. In the short period

Highly recommended if you are serious about reaching fitness goals. The trainers (Juan and Jose) are extremely knowledgeable and personable.
Because the gym is for personal training sessions and small group sessions only, you will get the added benefit of limiting the problems that come with larger gyms.
Be ready to learn and work hard.

I can guarantee you have never had a gym experience like the one Chiseled offers. If you are intimidated by gyms this is the place for you, Juan and Jose custom design a program just for you and your goals. You just have to put in the work. Not only will you get in shape but the trainers at Chiseled are always willing to teach you how to improve you life outside of the gym as well in a natural healthy way. I had only worked out there for 3 weeks and people were already asking me if I was working out simply because I was taught how to carry myself with correct posture for the first time in my

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.
