Athlete Strength and Conditioning in Columbus, Ohio

Yes. This is a monthly membership. Your first payment is prorated for the days left in the current month, and then your full monthly membership renews automatically on the 1st of each month until you cancel. There is no contract and no minimum, so you can cancel anytime in THE ARMORY app or by contacting us. To avoid your next charge, cancel before the 1st of the month. Payments already made are not refunded, and there are no partial or prorated refunds.

Yes. A single strength and conditioning session is $50, with no membership required. Single sessions are for anyone who wants to train without committing to a membership — if you come now and then on an irregular basis, want to try a session before you commit, or you have gone over your monthly sessions and would rather pay per session than move up a tier. Booking ahead is the best way to come in, so we can have a coach and space ready for you, but it is not required. And if you are on a set number of sessions per month and come to an extra one, we will train you that day and simply charge the $50 single-session rate for it, rather than require an upgrade.

Athletes from 8th grade through the professional ranks train with our main group. We also run development groups, starting as young as 4th grade, that train separately from the main group. As those younger athletes become physically mature enough and master the basics, we move them up to the main group when they are ready. Every athlete trains at the level that fits their development, under the same philosophy.

This is a Division I level training system, not a class. Athletes are assessed with advanced sports science testing, then given individualized programming for their sport and season, with coaches driving every session.

Yes. Return to play is a specialty within our program. Our strength and conditioning staff lead that side of the comeback, and we bring in our in-house physical therapy team when it is needed. Just as important, we coordinate with everyone on your athlete's team: your school or club coaches, your athletic trainer, your physical therapist, and your outside or school physician. In fact, all of our training is coordinated with your school's staff. When everyone works together, athletes come back confident, capable, and ready to compete, not just cleared.

We train and test with Hawkin Dynamics force plates, Swift Performance timing, VALD ForceFrame, NordBord, and Output Sports velocity-based training, the kind of tools used by Division I programs, pro leagues, and the U.S. Olympic Team, so every plan is driven by real data.

Your sessions are part of your monthly membership and are meant to be used that month. You can also put a session toward coach-led or individual recovery, and you can switch tiers anytime to match your season. If you know you will be away for a stretch, whether for travel, injury, or a seasonal schedule change, reach out and we will help you plan the best way to use your membership.

The in-season plan gives you four sessions a month, usually the sweet spot for maintaining strength, speed, and health during a busy season. You can also use your visits for coach-led or individual recovery sessions, one of the best ways to keep your body functioning at its best through a grueling season. Every strength and conditioning membership, including the in-season plan, gives you access to all of our recovery tools: the hot and cold contrast plunge, LightForce laser, Power Plate, Normatec and Game Ready compression, Hyperice percussion, and heat and cold therapy. If some months are lighter, put those visits toward coach-led recovery or switch to a plan that fits your season, and if you will be out for a longer stretch, contact us so we can help you plan and keep you progressing.

Team training can be valuable, but it is built for a whole roster, not for you as an individual. In our small-group setting we coach your specific technique and movement, adjust weight, volume, and intensity to your needs, and focus on long-term development instead of just getting through today's workout. Our coaches have trained high school, college, and professional athletes, and high school team lifting plus ARMORY small-group training is often the combination that helps athletes reach their full potential.

If you play more than one sport, consistent strength and speed training matters more, not less. All that extra practice, games, and travel puts real mileage on the body. Our job is to help you build strength, protect your joints, and manage that stress so you stay healthy and perform in every season. We also coordinate with your school and club coaches so our training and recovery complement what they are already doing instead of duplicating it. We are not here to replace their work. We round it out, making it more complete and more individualized for you. We will help you find the right training frequency for your schedule, so training supports you instead of burning you out.

Two easy ways, whichever is lowest friction for you: email Coach Hoodie directly at mhood@wearethearmory.com, or fill out our quick intake form. From there you meet with our coaches for an evaluation, which usually includes sports science testing, so we build your plan and get you started.

You can cancel your membership anytime. Only medical and Medical + Gym memberships have a 3-month minimum; every other membership is month to month with no minimum. To avoid your next charge, submit your cancellation before your next billing (renewal) date. Canceling stops future billing, but it does not refund a payment that has already been processed. If you cancel on or after your billing date, that cycle has already been charged and is not refundable, and you keep access for the rest of that paid period. For example, if your renewal date falls on the 12th, cancel on or before the 11th to avoid that charge. There are no partial or prorated refunds.
