Frequently Asked Questions

Our studio is located at 1197 Chesapeake Avenue, Columbus, Ohio 43212. Our entrance and parking lot are through the alley on the south side of the building.

Our exclusive Human Form Clinical Assessment consists of between 20-35 tests and is used to asses posture, flexibility, mobility, and movement patterns to individualize workouts for YOUR body.

Each member is prescribed personalized corrective exercises to address imbalances, relieve tightness and pain, and strengthen the appropriate muscle groups. This evaluation and personalization enables our coaches to individualize each workout to your personal needs. It also allows us to train members who have previous injuries, and might otherwise be inactive, or get lost in the traditional “boot camp” environment that are popular at the moment.

The Human Form Semi-Private Personal Training membership (SPPT) is the best way for the majority of our members to get in shape, lose weight, and have fun. There is always one coachfor every five members. These sessions combine the best elements of both one-on-one training and group exercise. With our exclusive Human Form Clinical Assessment, you’ll get the exact exercises you need, as well as the energy, accountability and camaraderie of group training. 

This particular service model is unique to The Human Form and Central Ohio. Our SPPT is like sharing the cost and attention of a personal trainer with a few other dedicated and supportive members. 

Our coaches provide personalized assistance. You’ll never get lost, and always have guidance to ensure you’re performing an exercise correctly.

Our Coaching Card

We keep a detailed card on file for each of our members that keeps track of their ability to perform each type of exercise and movement pattern, as well as any current or past physical limitations that may impact a session. Our Coaches update these cards daily. 

Yes. Our Semi-Private Personal Training Membership is the best option for the majority of our members. However, there are members who either need one-on-one private training (based on injuries, pain, or movement re-training), desire that format of training, or have specific goals that require individualized attention. 

Our Private One-On-One Training option includes our Human Form Clinical Assessment, design of both Corrective Stretching/Mobilizations, and Individualized Strength Training Workouts. One-on-one coaching is provided for each workout, allowing for continued adjustments and tracking of progress.

MetCon Essentials (up to 16 members per coach)

The Human Form Metabolic Conditioning (Metcon) classes are a fantastic way to train your whole body and ramp up your metabolism. 

This is where all new members start in regards to our Metabolic Conditioning Classes (for at least one session). This is a fast-paced and dynamic format based on an eight-station circuit with timed segments of work and rest. You’ll be alternating between strength training and higher intensity cardio stations. You’ll utilize fun tools such as TRX straps, medicine balls, bikes, dumbbells and more. With the smaller class size and all exercises being performed at Level 1, you’ll get the attention you need and can be sure you’re working hard and staying safe.

At the end of your trial, if we’re not a perfect fit for you, you’ll be under no further obligation. It really is as simple as that.

Many people who come through our doors have already made up their mind to join our studio through referral or by our reputation in the community; but for those who haven’t yet decided, trying before you commit is the best way to get started.

We promote a sensible, balanced nutrition strategy consisting of whole foods with minimal processing, and combining proteins, healthy fats and complex carbohydrates with each meal or snack.

If weight loss is one of your goals, at least 70% of your results will be determined by your nutrition and lifestyle. We currently offer several options for Nutritional Coaching.

When you travel, you can make up any of the sessions that you missed during the same calendar month. For example: if you are on the 2x week membership, and you are out of town for an entire week, you could make up those two sessions by coming in three times the remaining weeks of the month. Unused sessions do not roll over from month to month.

We will freeze your membership for a medical reason at your request. Freezes are for one calendar month and can be extended for up to three months.

If you lose your job or have extenuating circumstances, we can work with you.

All of our membership agreements are based on monthly auto-debit from a credit card. As an alternative, we do accept advance payment in full for three months via check or cash.

After completing your trial, we offer a six-month membership. We ask for a six-month commitment because improving your health and fitness is a long-term endeavor. Our experience has shown that following our philosophy for that length of time will produce results that you will see and feel, and be able to maintain for a lifetime.

Note: we do offer a month-to-month membership option at a higher price point.

The Human Form is a “Training Studio,” meaning that all members will be working with a coach while in our facility. We don’t offer any open hours for use of the equipment without coaching supervision.

We currently offer more than 37 training sessions per week. As our membership grows, we increase sessions to accommodate the individual attention and maintain the coach/member ratio.  

You can view the schedule here, or on the Mindbody app.

We utilize a secure online platform called Mindbody. It is one of the most popular and easiest to use scheduling systems used by gyms and yoga studios throughout the country. Once our coaches put you into the system, you’ll create your own password. This will enable you to quickly sign up for any Semi-Private Personal Training session or Metabolic Conditioning Training. Sign up is available on your computer or the free Mindbody app on your mobile device.

We do require that all members sign up for each of the workout sessions. Our coaches prepare for and structure the training session to fit the needs of each member attending.

One of the unique aspects of our culture, philosophy, and training system is the ability to meet new members where they are currently, and integrate them seamlessly into the supportive and safe environment of our Semi-Private Personal Training sessions. We have members of varying fitness levels, ages, and goals. Not only can we accommodate these differences, but we actually celebrate the diversity of our membership. Unless you are a huge bodybuilder or a professional athlete, there will be someone just like you already here as a member.

Our Semi-Private Personal Training (SPPT) sessions are designed to accommodate a variety of levels, injuries, and restrictions all in the same session. Our coaches will tailor the workout to your needs and abilities, guide you on appropriate modifications and regressions of certain exercises, or provide an alternative movement that may help resolve the issue at hand.

From time to time we come across a new client who may need a little extra attention prior to starting the SPPT sessions. For these individuals, we offer private training sessions (up to six) at a discounted rate that will help integrate you into the Semi-Private workouts.

The word “holistic” is being used more and more in the wellness community today. To us, it identifies the way we view the body, as a whole: physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

People come to us for various reasons: weight loss, athletic performance, injury prevention, improved vitality, etc. No matter the motivation, the greatest success occurs when we take care of the entire body—inside and out. High quality, challenging workouts are only part of the recipe which also includes proper nutrition, stress relief, sleep, and balanced hormones, to name just a few important factors. We aim to provide services (and/or team up with our extensive network of medical professionals) to address all areas of health and wellness to expedite your progress with us and ensure long-term success.

There are so many ways to measure “results.” Just by practicing your short “at home” corrective program, you may feel improvements in posture and small aches and pains immediately, and certainly within a week. If weight loss is one of your goals, then combining your workouts with changes in your nutrition and lifestyle will expedite your results. Increased energy and improved sleep can also be felt in just a few weeks. When we perform our reassessments at the 90-day mark, the changes are often astounding—people feel better, are standing up straighter, have less pain, feel stronger and are on a consistent weight loss path.

The Human Form is designed to be a “training studio”. Members work out with a coach at all times and are consistently guided through individualized personal training workouts in a small group setting. At The Human Form, we aim to create a community for our members—a friendly, supportive environment that everyone can be a part of. Friendships are formed, business connections are made, camaraderie is built, and the workouts are fun and challenging at the same time.

We have a Facebook group for members to connect with each other (and share memes), do a monthly member feature in our space, host special workshops that allow members to get to know one another, and our Saturday Metabolic Conditioning Classes are designed in a way that members pair up with one another, and chat and connect between sets.
