The Butcher Shop Fitness - German Village

I’ve been going to this studio for about a year now , between their German Village and Open Air locations , and honestly, there’s a reason classes sell out so fast. This is Lagree (mega reformer Pilates), and even the beginner sessions will push you in the best way possible. I love it here. The trainers are all fantastic, but my favorites are Emily (early mornings!), Brigid, and Erika. Highly recommend if you’re serious about getting stronger and loving the burn.🔥

Butcher shop is a girl’s girl. I love that they have childcare (at rates so low they have to be doing it to support parents!) and they’re flexible with classes when pregnancy kicks your butt. For those reasons, this is basically the only workout I’ve kept up with in this season of life.

I started going to Butcher Shop Fitness to try something new into my fitness routine and fell in love! One of the hardest, yet, most rewarding, classes I’ve ever taken. The instructors are all so encouraging and they’ve created a welcoming community of empowerment and fun! Taking a class is a highlight of my day! Butcher Shop is probably the only reason I have abs now!

The Butcher Shop is honestly the best part of my day every time I go! The instructors are the most thoughtful, supportive, and overwhelming kind people I have ever met & truly have influenced my life for the better! The vibes are always high and the energy is unmatched. I have nothing but the best words for this place

I never thought that when I stepped in for my first Lagree class I would find such an amazing, supportive and knowledgeable group of instructors! I look forward to each visit. The workout is fantastic but what is even better is the community that everyone at the Butcher Shop has created. I am at least twice as old as most people working out but the encouragement I receive makes me feel like I fit right in. If you want to seriously get into the best shape of your life and find the instructors that brighten up your whole day look no further. I love this place!

There is nothing like the experience of working out at Butcher Shop. I struggled to find a workout I enjoyed and looked forward to prior to finding the Butcher Shop. All the instructors are phenomenal and so kind. If you've never tried Lagree and are unsure about trying it, I highly encourage you to. The instructors are all very welcoming and will always help you. regardless of your level of knowledge. After over 2 years of going 4-5 days a week, I'm still excited to go and always get a great workout in.

The Butcher shop is an overall great experience. The workout is killer and both very challenging and addicting at the same time. The staff is wonderful-- very kind, welcoming, and knowledgeable. They make an effort to make everyone feel comfortable regardless of skill or experience level. They're great coaches and will push you to achieve your best, but I also appreciate that they offer options for all ability levels, so even if you're brand new, they'll make sure you can participate the whole time and get a great workout. Love it!

I’ve been going to the Butcher Shop consistently for about 1 year. No matter how many classes I attend, each one is extremely challenging (in a good way!). The instructors I’ve taken class with are truly genuine and welcoming — addressing clients by name, encouraging you throughout class, and taking client feedback into consideration. The instructors also offer several options/modifications to make the workout moves less or more difficult so that you get the most out of the 50 minute class. As someone with lower back issues, the core strength I’ve gained from class has been really important to me. I love how lagree makes my body feel and I’d recommend this studio to everyone — all ages!

Only AMAZING things to say about the butcher shop and their welcoming community. I've been to almost 250 classes over the the past year and a half and it's really changed my mind and body. This Pilates studio really values form and pace over everything else. I love the principles of lagree that they teach, which really gives you results. The instructors are very patient and kind and understand that you won't be a Lagree master over night! The workout is also so customizable for all levels.

This place is amazing. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! They truly care about everyone who is taking a class and wants to set them up with the most success.

This place is amazing. Insane workout that never gets boring. All the instructors are so kind and fun.

Do yourself a favor and try Lagree at The Butcher Shop!!! Every class is uniquely challenging and fun. It's a workout you will never get tired of and actually look forward to. It's amazing to see how much stronger I am as a result. The Butcher Shop is owned and operated by the most amazing group of people!!! Each and every instructor is so supportive, encouraging, friendly and caring. It's definitely the best workout environment I've ever been part of and you truly feel welcomed here, like you are part of a community. If you are new to Lagree I suggest starting out by taking a few of the Fundamental classes they offer first. It's fine to start with a regular class too but the fundamental classes spend more time on each move with more explanation to really make sure you are learning the proper form. It was really helpful for me to do that when I first started!

I've been interested in Lagree for a long time but was always too intimidated to give it a try. I've been taking classes at The Butcher Shop for the last month and I'm obsessed. Butchers: Kaitlyn, Korey, Britta, and Phoebe have been extremely helpful offering adjustments and feedback. All the instructors keep class fun, motivating and the 50 minutes fly by. The Butcher Shop is my new favorite place to get a workout in!

This is a great fitness studio for helping you feel motivated, supported and challenged while building beautiful lean muscle. So far all the "butchers" (fitness instructors) I've met are positive, encouraging and personable to guide participants in getting a solid workout no matter where they are at in their fitness journey.

You won't find any filets or tenderloins for sale here. The name of this fitness studio is a play on how you can take your body and build lean muscle (and flexibility) through different moves/cuts. The high intensity, low impact workout is 50 minutes of physical & mental training. No two instructors, choreographed routines or music playlists are the same. You can personalize it to make it as hard or less hard as you want. The workout is an excellent complement to weight training or running during the week. Highly recommend this community (see their Instagram account).

One word. OBSESSED! I started last Fall with the two week trial and I was hooked. I try to go every other day and I love it so much! Makes me feel so strong and fit and I'm already starting to see amazing results.

Let's talk about a live hate relationship!! I won't lie, my first class there was far from enjoyable, I thought I was in shape and strong enough... we'll let me tell you that I was put to shame by the megaformer (the instructor was very supportive!!). It wasn't the best experience ever because it was so hard... but the feeling of waking up sore made me come back the day after, and the following days! I have been taking classes there for a week, I can feel the soreness but I also can feel that my body is getting stronger! The 2 downfalls are that I really wish the studio was on mindbody, and I really don't understand why the members with unlimited pass, are limited to 1 class a day?!

I went from sedentary to feeling strong and having endurance in 3 workouts. Incredible place, I wish I could bring it back to Cali with me. Instructors remember you and are VERY encouraging and supportive. They are every day people and understand everyone has a different style of challenging his/her work out.

The workout itself is awesome. The instructors vary, which is the case at any gym. The turnover is what I become worried about. The instructors Rachelle, Kendra, and Jen are by far the best. They have the best music and are easy to understand and can have both beginners and vets feel comfortable in their class. They basically have the classes that kick your butt and you feel like you got the most bang for your buck and had fun doing it. I am concerned when I see the schedule change often - for example as of this week Kendra no longer shows :( Hopefully this isn't a trend and the others stay on, but I worry about purchasing a large long term package. As for the on boarding experience I don't feel like the owners take enough pride in making a newbie feel welcome. I have told a couple friends and they have gone to an intro class. The one was in the building for 10 min before the owner (she thinks) came from the back. She was not welcoming at all. I don't think my friend will return. The other time my friend was in class and basically was practically being bullied by not "transitioning" fast enough. I understand that is a key component, but when it is someones first time it needs to be more encouraging rather than derogatory. It definitely was a turn off for my friend, however, he is willing to come back because the idea of the workout itself is great and he wants to try a different instructor. They have added spinning/reformer hybrid classes which have been a welcomed edition. Overall it will be a great gym, and already is the best workout class I have been to. It just needs to be managed a little better and get through its growing pains.

This is by far the best workout I ever done! I've been going about 7 months now and my body has totally changed. I'm more toned than ever and I have a lot more flexibility. It really does work every muscle in your body without spending hours in the gym and it's really easy on my joints. I go to both locations and all the instructors very nice and helpful. It's definitely a workout I will continue to do!

I took a couple classes at the Butcher Shop (what a great name!) while visiting a friend in Columbus and I really loved it! I do the same Lagree method in LA and found the Butcher Shop classes to be just as tough and rewarding as the ones out here! My instructor was Yoo Mee who I would describe as a likable drill sergeant. She definitely helped me push harder and do the moves longer than my body wanted. If I lived in Ohio, I would go every day! Speaking to how well the method works - within a month of starting these classes here in LA, I lost 10 pounds and gained clearly defined abs. The classes definitely work and I highly recommend The Butcher Shop!

Of all the group classes I've done over the years this by far has done the most overall for my body and my life. No impact, all super-slow and fluid movements that will remind you of classic Pilates but targeted more toward strength and stamina. I've carved off dimples that I didn't realize I had, not to mention 43 year-old "love" handles. Get on it--try it five times and you'll see.

Still loving classes at the Butcher Shop! Rachelle makes the time fly by and gives really meaningful corrections and encouragement. Alyssa has good tunes and positive energy. Yoo Mee always has new moves that will make you feel like a beginner all over again and Stephanie is super sweet. Great classes that will always challenge you!

Butcher Shop Fitness is the toughest workout in Columbus!! It's great for all fitness levels. I have been going for almost a year and it is still as challenging as the first day! The workouts are always changing so I never get bored. This is the first workout I have actually seen results from! You have to check it out!

Moved to German Village just about a month ago and started coming here 3- 4x/week immediately - and LOVING it. Have been into fitness for 30+ years and this work out is hard, all encompassing and wonderful. I am hooked.

Terrible customer service!!!! It used to be more of a boutique feel with the owners training you or them being there calling you by your first name and over all treating you like family. NOT any more. The owners and the Manager only care about your money now.

Awesome workout! It kicks my butt everytime! the instructors focus on form and time under tension to make sure you get the best results. Tons of class times to choose from so you can fit it in to your schedule.
