Austin is amazing! Very clear and supportive while pushing you to be the best you can be!
Jess is a great instructor. She clearly explains all the moves and workouts are thoughtfully planned.
Great class! Jess was very welcoming. She took the time to be sure I was set up properly. I will return next time I’m in Columbus.
Tried CrossFit for the first time and this was a great spot! Class size was small and Jess was able to spend time coaching me as needed. The workout was challenging and fun, and she later explained the thought and intention behind it.
It was amazing, good customer service and motivation
I think he was a very good coach, and always made sure I was doing stuff that I was able to do. Like changing some of the moves to make them doable for me. Over all great vibes from everyone at the gym!
10/10

Austin is a great coach, always supportive and encouraging!
Austin was great! This was my first visit to this gym and my first time taking a CrossFit class! He kept kept an eye on me encouraging me to keep working and providing helpful suggestions to improve my form! I’ll definitely come back!
Doing a three week trial to see if this is the right place! Jess was very welcoming, the gym was very clean with great equipment, the atmosphere was good and the class was run very well. Highly recommend giving this place a try for your fitness goals!
Austin gave me some helpful pointers and made me feel welcomed during my first class. I’d definitely recommend Buckeye Met/Con and Austin’s class to anyone looking for a great CrossFit gym in the area.
I’m a beginner. Very patient and helpful.
This was my first time being coached by Indy. He was great. He was welcoming when I introduced myself to him. His coaching was easy to understand and he explained and demonstrated exercises when needed.
Jess = 👍👍
Awesome as always
Today was my first CrossFit class. I didn’t know anything going into it. Austin was a huge help walking me through every step of the way. I will definitely be coming back !
Jess did great as usual. She’s great at pushing me while also making me feel supported if I need to scale it down.
Austin was very knowledgeable and guided me through my first class. Very helpful explaining everything and providing alternatives when needed.
Austin was wonderful and did a great job breaking down components of the lift/workout!
Austin was very helpful. This was my first time doing CrossFit and he did a great job walking me through the workout and helping me with my form.
Jess is the best! She’s already personable and welcoming to everyone new in the space. Her and Austin always give great cues and modifications to exercises that are very challenging and help you learn new techniques and skills! Can’t recommend this gym enough if you’re looking for a spot filled with great people and great vibes!!
Jess did great today! She is always in a great mood and brings great energy to class. She also will help correct form anytime it is needed which is greatly appreciated.
Jess was amazing! It was one of my first times going and I haven't worked out for a while. She was attentive to me and helped me make sure I paced myself and could do the workout! I will definitely go again
Jess was super motivating today! The extra push was needed amd appreciated.
If the workout was designed to make every muscle in my body fatigue, then it was an overwhelming success I enjoyed watching all those other members, the ages of my kids, throw heavy weights around and run like the wind-it brought back fond memories I look forward to seeing if I can get out of bed tomorrow morning I appreciate Jess coaching and modifying for me-I would write more, but I think I need a nap
The morning class felt a little intimidating, but Jess made me feel comfortable. Jess was great with tweaking the workout to fit my disabilities. Would definitely take another class. Thank you Jess.
Great experience … well led class!
Executed beautifully. Genuine welcome, reviewed any physical issues in terms of the WOD. Noticed a small modification I made on lunges using the rings and encouraged me to keep it up. Really supportive atmosphere.
Austin is the best! Very knowledgeable and always friendly and helpful.
Austin was great! You all have a great gym, with really nice members! Congrats. I travel a lot and see a lot of CrossFit gyms. Yours was one of my favorites. Keep it up! Thanks for letting me drop in this morning.
The power was out, but Jess went above and beyond to make it work.
The class was great last week and Austin was great at correcting my heels coming up while doing thrusters. Thanks for a great session if I'm back in Columbus I'll be dropping back in.
The experience at this gym is like no other! The coaches know the craft of CrossFit inside and out while coaching it with a smile on their face each and every day. 11/10 experience.
Good warmup. Good instruction on movements, and appreciated the suggestions on scaling options.
Great spot to celebrate Memorial Day and run the Murph. Appreciate the support from the gym. Great spot!
Coaching was solid. Atmosphere was solid. Great place to get a workout in! I’ll be back.
austin is always positive and encouraging!
Austin was fantastic. It was my first class and he was helpful and encouraging.
Great experience! Jess provided modifications/tips for the exercises that helped a lot
Jess was fun, patient, and supportive.
Jess was very friendly and checked in on me between workouts. As a newbie (both to this gym and Xfit in general), I really appreciate it!
Austin was welcoming and encouraging. I’ll be back again.
Super helpful and thorough
It was a great experience Jess was super helpful and welcoming. Gym is much nicer than mine. I would definitely recommend!
Killer workout and have feedback to help beginners. Highly recommend
Austin did an amazing job! I felt welcome, he gave me effective, meaningful coaching on technique and I didn’t feel pressured to do more that I felt comfortable with after a long time since my last CrossFit workout. Great experience! I will be back!
Welcoming and easy to modify the workout based on skill level
Jess is always an amazing coach with amazing scaling options! Every session she takes her time to work with everyone individually and go over their plan for the workout and suggest options for them. An amazing coach!
Jess was great at setting me up for my first CrossFit class - entirety of the class was friendly and willing to help through the workout.
For an absolute first timer I was super nervous about joining crossfit, especially because I haven’t been consistently “fit” in quite some time. Austin did a great job guiding me along with the rest of the class and making sure I picked a weight that would be comfortable for me and wasn’t doing anything wrong to hurt myself. The gym space was also surprisingly comfortable to workout in despite the exterior of the building! If you’re brand new like me, I suggest giving it a shot!
Great atmosphere and great coach!
I love working with Jess, she is an awesome coach! :)
Jess is a fantastic coach! She is always positive and able to give me scaled options for workouts.
I thought Jess did a really good job showing me the movements that I’m not used to. Would definitely come back for another class
Austin is the GOAT!
Super helpful! Great space. Thank you!
Awesome class, great coaching! Will definitely drop in again when I’m in town.
As always Austin was a great resource and provides a fun atmosphere for class
Excellent! Super helpful for someone that is clueless about how to lift weights. ❤️
Jess is awesome!
Thanks for putting on a great event to honor Matt. Everyone one was so nice and welcoming. The gym is clean and organized.
I had a great experience as a drop -in guest for a special workout. Everyone was super nice and supportive before/during/after the workout. Very inviting atmosphere that would make any level of athlete feel welcome. Definitely would recommend!
Showed up to my first CrossFit class ever! Austin was super nice and welcoming. The class was a fun and challenging (in a good way!) workout and I can’t wait to come back for more. Highly recommend for those who are looking for a new gym or want to try CrossFit for the first time.
Austin is a fantastic coach: kind, funny, patient and clear with instructions. He’s motivating and cares.
Austin always does a great job to correct my form. I ask plenty of questions and he takes the time to answer them. Always great to get the seal of approval with a fist bump at the end.
Austin is terrific- I’ve had great experiences at buckeye metcon so far and love the vibes
Jess was great! she’s patient and thorough I felt safe and informed about every part of the class.
Love this gym!!!
As someone newer to CrossFit, Jess was very approachable, helpful, and patient as I worked through the WOD and the skills works. I’ve been to other gyms where I’ve been more or less ignored as the new guy so this was a refreshing change! Looking forward to partner WOD tomorrow!
Best of the best. Love coach Jess.
Jason was clear, a great teacher and class was fun
Austin and all of the coaches do a great job of meeting each person where they’re at with their fitness. The gym has athletes of varying levels of fitness and are met with coaching that matches each person’s ability. I’ve been going to this gym since it opened.
Great work out. Good sweat. Music was on point today!
From warm up to workout it was a great class and environment. Paired up w two friends for a trio workout and we had a blast.
Great first class! Jason had an effective way of teaching us moves that i hadn’t done in a while!
Jason was helpful and informative and answered any questions I had. He also recognized that a smaller size box would be better for me for the workout and brought ur to me.
Austin was great as always!
Great work out today! Best way to start the day.
Austin is the best! He has the best music choices! No one else slings the tracks like my boy Austin. Oh and he laughs at all my jokes!
Buckeye Met/Con is an awesome place for fitness no matter the level of your skills. Great coaches and community. Highly recommend!
Great teaching for our barbell lifting movements and good push during the workout portion.
He did great! It was a fun, country time as always.
Austin is an exceptional coach and a joy to learn from. I always know with Austin that I'm getting exceptional advice on movement fundamentals and tips for working out safely and effectively. He also manages to make the class enjoyable for everyone and is a very positive presence in the gym; I know I'm working hard, but it doesn't feel like it most of the time because the atmosphere is so enjoyable. Excellent coach, would recommend, happy to give rides home to any members who need them.
Great!!!
Dropped in for a class and had a great time - Coach Austin did a great job making sure I was comfortable with the group and maintained proper form throughout class
Austin’s so friendly and welcoming in addition to being an excellent coach (both at motivating and also technically). Even though I’m relatively new to Columbus, he always makes me feel welcome and happy to be there!
Austin was great! Provides excellent cues to this newbie crossfitter that really helps me hone in on the movements! Love his classes!
Great pointers and watching everyone closely on the big lifts!
Jess did a great job leading the class and creating a welcoming environment for everyone!
He did great. Demonstrated the movements and was welcoming to all.
Coach Sherry was very welcoming and made my first time enjoyable, as well as coaching a solid workout overall. She provided direct instruction and guidance throughout the class. The gym itself is complete with equipment, space, and extras. The other class attendees were also kind and inclusive. This first impression was enough to make want to come back for more!
Basically, Austin is the best around. His prowess as a coach is unrivaled in this world or the next. If I were to search the universe for another being that could match Austin’s skill set, I couldn’t. It would be impossible and the potential effects that trip would take on mankind is not worth the wait. So take my word for it, Austin is BEACH.
Amazing! this class was challenging but manageable. he explained everything well and i was able to follow along!
Went to Buckeye Metcon today for their 10 year anniversary partner WOD—its the Crossfit gym I started at 10 years ago! Austin ran a great big class, masterfully. Jason, Jess run a great place for 10 years strong!
Austin is the best!
Jess kills it every time.
Jess is a great coach! She gives each athlete individualized attention and makes class fun
Jess is always super helpful with form. Always a great experience!
I’m a beginner to crossfit and Austin took extra time to explain and demonstrate every movement. He was very knowledgeable and helpful throughout the whole class. Can’t recommend enough!
Excellent !
The class was pretty fast, but in a very easy to follow way. Everyone was very friendly and supportive! I’ll for sure be back!
Jess did great and was very attentive and helpful.
Jess is the best! Because of a couple physical ailments I’m dealing with at the moment, she always makes sure to provide me with different options and modifications, regardless of how busy the class is.
Had a really great workout excited to come back !
Jess is always a pleasure to see, talk to, and learn from at the gym every day; pushing you to get better while still staying within your limits. She makes tough workouts fun, even if you just aren’t quite feeling it that day.
Amazing workout with a great coach and a fantastic group of people.
Jess is a great coach! She does a great job of demonstrating movements and helping athletes customize a workout to their skill level.
Austin is great at breaking down how to do movements and offering constructive feedback. He’s also great at motivating through a tough workout with encouragement and country music. 10/10 would recommend a class with him!
Austin is great! Always engaged and knowledgeable. Classes are awesome.
Austin is a great motivator and knows how to help you push yourself in a workout.
Good instruction.
Great gym super clean and the class was motivating.
Amazing class. Well thought out path for the mile run. Coaches were knowledgeable and considerate of all different types of ability levels. Coach Jess in particular was very good.
Was led through an excellent workout, engaging a good multitude of muscle groups that I haven't been using. If I lived closer to the area I'd definately consider attending more.
That was a great workout, he taught me some new exercises to do, some good stretches, and other resources the gym had. If you're reading this Jason, thank you for having us and I look forward to coming back.
Jason was fantastic! Had a group I’m that had a wide range of fitness levels and had a program to help establish a baseline for each regardless of fitness abilities. He explained how to strengthen ligaments and the benefits as well as other knowledge to help everyone in the class!
I drop in to Buckeye/Metcon anytime I travel to Columbus. Austin is especially helpful pinpointing corrections to improve technique. Great coach!
I really appreciate Austin taking the time to talk through how my weak ass can do alternative pull up type exercises. Nice workout today, frustrating of course because most of the WOD focused on an exercise that isn’t easy for myself. Glad o went. Nice to chill out with Austin and Zach for an hour. Thank you!
Austin and Jess are true fitness professionals. They make early morning workouts something I look forward to everyday. Always greeting us with a smile, words of encouragement and quality coaching day in and day out.
Excellent. Great instructions and optional modifications.
Austin was great! Engaging, attentive, and motivating!
Everyday is leg day!
Workout was great but I wish the golf simulator was working. 😂
Great!!
Jason did a great job today!!! Always fun
