Power Shack Gym Hilliard is a highly regarded and friendly fitness center known for its welcoming atmosphere and extensive range of equipment. It caters well to true bodybuilders, with a spacious layout, plenty of good machines—including specialty pieces from Rogue and Westside Barbell—and a separate exercise room for yoga and stretching. The gym maintains a clean environment, with better cleaning standards than some larger gyms in the area. Visitors often find it not crowded, especially during mornings and evenings, making it ideal for those who prefer a low-key workout experience. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and consistently helpful, creating a community feel where members are supportive and willing to help each other. Showers and locker rooms are available for convenience, and the environment encourages a civil and respectful atmosphere, with minor restrictions on loud noises like grunting and dropping weights. While some cardio machines, such as bikes and ellipticals, need repairs, the overall equipment quality and cleanliness are highly appreciated. The gym’s long-standing, family-owned nature contributes to its inviting environment, making it a favorite spot for many dedicated fitness enthusiasts. Although the sauna has been permanently closed, Power Shack remains a top choice for those seeking a friendly, well-equipped gym in Columbus.
Awesome gym for true bodybuilders. Spacious, plenty of good machines, clean.Great spot during Arnold. Avoid Pros gym unless you wanna wait for machines.

Incredibly friendly staff. Will see the same people at whatever time you go and everyone is friendly. Not typically crowded at all, especially in the mornings and evenings. Showers if needed with locker rooms. Will travel to come to this location.
