What Athletes in Columbus Are Saying

  • "I've been training here with Ben W. for almost a year now and have seen great results with him. They have nice facilities for whatever kind of exercise you're looking for - sports training, personal training, or working out on your own. Most important for me is that it's good for anyone regardless of fitness level or body type, and no high pressure sales people."

    R H

  • "I could not recommend 11Athletics more. I am a college student at Ohio State and I found a love for coming to this gym and getting to know and workout with such a great community. They have a place for everyone whether you are in grade school trying to improve your sports performance or if you're a bit older and just trying to stay in shape. The trainers here push you to be the best version of yourself, physically and mentally."

    Megan Piatt

  • "11 is an absolute hidden gem of Columbus. I also saw some of my favorite Buckeyes train there! This gym is unique and not a machine based gym. It was nice knowing that there are trainers that specialize in powerlifting, bodybuilding, sports specific training, and I can even get treatment here after a good sweat!"

    Katie Klein

  • I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment I walked in, Dr Kevin made me feel welcomed and supported. He’s not only knowledgeable but also genuinely cares about your progress and well-being. He takes the time to thoroughly explain everything, listen to your concerns, and tailor your sessions to your specific needs. I’ve never felt better and continue to get stronger every week.

    Eli C.

  • I have been working with Kevin and it has been amazing. He’s been awesome helping me heal from my injury. I love how even if we’re not in a session and he sees me doing something wrong, he takes the time to come correct the movement. You really need some cheek this place out.

    Jake W.

  • Dr. Kevin provides a very individualized approach to physical therapy and cares about my progress. Tons of space and equipment in the gym to try new things and work on different exercises. Highly recommend to anyone!!

    Brennon P.

  • I worked with both Dr. Kenton to rehab my ankle and get it stronger than ever. I can now trust my ankle on the court and it has been much easier to play with confidence. Without the help of Dr. Kenton, I would not be where I’m at today, playing basketball at the level I am!

    Garrison K.

  • Dr. Kenton was outstanding from day one taking the time to understand my procedure, my therapy to date and my goals for returning to preferred activities. The communication and follow up was terrific and I appreciate the tailored approach throughout the process as Dr. Kenton aimed to create a plan focused on progression in a very thoughtful and planful way.
