Get Started

  • “In just 10 weeks, I lost 15 pounds, added 70 pounds to my bench, and rebuilt my confidence.”

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    “When I started at Lionheart, I had prior shoulder and wrist injuries, limited time, and big goals. José built a completely customized plan for my schedule, training, cardio, and nutrition. Not only did I lose 15 pounds, but I added 70 pounds to my bench, regained pull-ups, and built strength I never thought I’d have again. The coaching, community, and accountability at Lionheart are unmatched. This gym changed how I approach fitness for life.”

    — Vincent B., Columbus, OH

  • “I’m stronger now than I’ve been in years, and consistency finally stuck.”

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    “I’ve trained at Lionheart since 2021 after years of inconsistency due to life getting in the way. Working with my coach helped me rebuild consistency and become stronger than I’ve been in a long time. The coaching is exceptional, the programming is smart, and the community is supportive. This is a serious gym teaching real strength training and bodybuilding techniques with a focus on long-term health, yet it’s welcoming and accessible for all fitness levels. I had never deadlifted before starting, and now strength training is a core part of my life.”
