I bought a 7 day pass because I was visiting family from out of state, and this gym stood out to me initially because they were not trying to actively sell me anything while I signed up. The facilities are amazing, clean and organized. Staff and patrons were so helpful when there was a machine I was unfamiliar with, helping without any judgement. On top of that, Kevin was amazing and worked with me because I had to leave earlier than expected and he was able to refund me some of my money as I had only gone two days. If I lived in Ohio, I would 100% be a regular here and I appreciate RTS for providing an amazing space while I was visiting. Thanks guys!
Been coming to RTS for close to 2 full years now, and it's never let me down. My favorite feature of RTS is the 24/7/365 building. My favorite part of RTS overall, though, is that Kevin, the owner, runs a tight ship. Not only can I rely on RTS to be open every day, but I can also rely on it to be clean, organized and operational due to Kevin and his facility leaders keeping up with the place every day. The gym is geared towards powerlifting-style training, but I train like a bodybuilder and it offers everything I need. I highly recommend checking it out!
By far, the best gym I’ve ever been a member of. I’ve gone to CrossFit, 24 hour fitness; I even worked at Gold’s Gym and Urban Active. The quality of machines, cleanliness, and professionalism of the space surpasses all other experiences I’ve had working out at the gym. Also, I would highly recommend training with Mike Dewar. Not only did he customize a program for me when I was healthy and strong, but also at my weakest, coming back from a breast cancer diagnosis and chemotherapy treatment.
Amazing gym! There's so much strength equipment of every type and everything is very clean. There's showers, turf, cardio equipment, and even a basketball hoop outside. Staff and members were very welcoming to me. This is the best place to get strong in Cincinnati.
I recently visited a RTS barbell gym and had a day pass on a Thursday, June 19th, 2025. The gym was a great place, not too crowded, but I still had to wait for a few machines. The Arsenal pendulum squat was humbling and incredible, and the power squat was just as impressive. I also really enjoyed the elite fts lying leg curl, the rogue 🦏, and the Rogers hip press. The Arsenal plate-loaded leg extension, the legends pin-loaded leg extensions and curls, those machines were just okay for me. If you’re into deadlifting or squatting, they have everything you need, from bars to racks and plates. Chest day would be great here, with the elite fts competition, benches, and the rogue benches with fat pads. Pull day would also be pretty good here. Overall, it’s a great gym for powerlifters.
