Mark is a knowledgeable and skilled trainer. He takes the time to develop in-depth training and nutrition programs for his members. He also is always available to answer questions related to programs, diet, and different movements. I can’t say enough about how much we love Hero Gym! It’s a fun and accepting environment where you are pushed to take your fitness to the next level!
I’ve been a member of Hero Gym for 2 years now. The people, the programs and the communal environment have had a significant impact on my health and subsequently the rest of my life. I’ve gotten stronger after having back surgery, and lost over a 100lbs. Mark and his staff have cultivated a supportive atmosphere among gym members and provided knowledge and tools to help me tackle nutrition, fitness and stress. I definitely recommend reaching out to Mark via the gym FB page, emailing, calling or messaging him to learn more.
Hero gym is more than just a place to workout. its a community based gym with programs to suit anyone’s goals. If you need a place to start then what better way than to gain perspective and knowledge from programs built specifically to teach you the basics and to build off of. The gym owner Mark has a vast knowledge of proper form, equipment use, nutrition and goal setting. If your close to Northside in Cincinnati then you should definitely come check it out.
I started early summer after my college semester ended. At first I wasn’t sure of what to expect but I couldn’t have been happier with the instruction I received and the awesome help the trainer provided. If you’re looking to lose weight and learn a lot about nutrition and loving a healthy life style I couldn’t recommend hero gym more. From a personalized workout plan to giving me new macros every week, the trainer really does put in effort and time to help you get better. If you are looking to just workout without all of the bells and whistles he has a great gym with enough weights to train a sports team.
I always thought weight lifting wasnt for me because I didnt want to look like a body-builder with huge muscles. My large calves already cant fit into most designer boots. But since joining Hero Gym, Ive changed my mind! Its an investment of your time and money, but it is worth it. The gym provided a good community of people and thus new friends, and it showed me what Im capable of and gave me confidence! Hero Gym also gave me a sense of purpose during the pandemic and helped not only my physical, but mental health during this chaotic time. My attitude towards weight lifting has changed because of Hero Gym. Thank you!
I’ve been going to this gym for 7 months and love it. It was hard for me to find a way to get fit that offered instruction, accountability, support and actual solutions but this gym provides all that in a welcoming, all inclusive environment. It’s hard work but it’s also fun. I used to be very intimidated by the open floor format gym but there are people here that are in every stage of their fitness journey and we can all work out together! I really like Hero Gym and encourage anyone to come check it out for themselves!
Its an eclectic and open space, making an excellent non-judgmental gym. Mark is dedicated and knowledgeable, and works with you to personalize your training to track and meet your goals. Its a good supportive place for people who are new and trying to build good health habits, and also for more experienced people trying to take it to the next level.
Hero Gym is an amazing place! I’ve been working out there for over a year, and it has completely changed my life for the better. Mark and Savannah excellent trainers and are both knowledgeable and motivated to help you achieve your goals. I highly recommend this place!
The group training classes are great for people at all fitness levels. The coaches will offer scaled version of exercises if needed.The group exercises are fun, especially when there are partner workouts.There are options for additional support/ help with diet if you are interested.I did a 6-week nutrition challenge that was actually very informative on how to simplify healthy eating.
Place is great. Been especially pandemic friendly as there is a lot of space and not a lot of people depending on when you choose to workout.Mark is kind, inclusive, and attentive to your needs as a member. The price is steep and the space isnt very cardio focused, but its been a worthwhile experience for me.

2022-01-27I was recommended to Hero Gym by a friend, and I don’t have any regrets. I was looking for a place with accurate biomechanics and that understood different builds to lift weights safely. Mark built a program around what I needed to improve my rock climbing, he taught me how to do squats correctly based on how my hips were, and overall I feel like I’ve gained more knowledge than I would a lot of other places. Clean gym, comfortable atmosphere, low stress.

2021-06-03Never met a business owner that cares so deeply about his clients. Mark is great on working with you on your goals regardless of your current physical condition. Would highly recommend Hero Gym over the traditional big box gym for the personal attention you get. The people who go here are also awesome! Its a great little community.

2020-10-10Mark is the best trainer and most knowledgeable trainer I’ve ever worked with in over 20 years. The workouts are tailored to your needs and help meet your goals. Mark is personable and extremely motivating! I’m never bored in his classes and his nutrition education is the best! The people I do classes with have become family, including Mark. I was hesitant at first a few years ago because I’d let myself get out of shape and felt embarrassed to workout with others. All shapes and sizes are welcomed, no judgement! I love Hero Gym and the results are amazing!

2021-12-21I had never seriously had a fitness regimen. Yes, I’d done things like join Planet Fitness, but I would skip going for months at a time. And even during the stretches when I would go regularly, I never saw much result, I never had a plan other than “lose weight,” and I certainly didn’t know what I was doing beyond just blindly using weight machines.On top of that, I had gained even more weight during the pandemic. And as with so many others, my mental health has suffered over the past few years.Joining Hero Gym has completely changed my life. Sounds like generic hyperbole, but it’s true.Hero Gym owner/trainer Mark Regner works with each person for weeks to go build a personalized workout routine. You discuss your goals. You explore which exercises work best for you. He spends ample time to ensure that you do each exercise correctly. And only after those weeks do you begin your actual fitness regimen, which you log on continuously updated spreadsheets.The community built around Hero Gym is friendly and supportive. Clients help each other out with their workouts. It’s a safe and welcoming environment.In the months since I’ve joined, I’ve gone to the gym three times a week every week. It felt slow going at first. Now, I see the results. I feel stronger and healthier than I ever have. I’ve seen my body physically change. I know I’m improving, moving forward week after week.Working out at Hero Gym has inspired me to be healthy both inside and outside the gym. I’ve taken up new physical activities on my off-gym days. I’m eating healthier foods and managed portions. My improved physical health has led to improved mental health.I’m still at the start of my health journey at Hero Gym. I can’t wait to see where it leads.

2021-06-29I would have never considered myself a gym person before joining Hero Gym. Mark is a skilled trainer with an easy going personality. He will work with you to help you find a training regimen that is right for you! The community at Hero Gym is 5 star too!

2021-04-07Hero Gym is a place for people of all fitness levels to come together and achieve goals that, at one point in life, maybe seemed unachievable. I personally have never felt more supported, pushed, and challenged. The owner has a way of pushing his clients to new levels with confidence while supporting them along their fitness journey.As someone with a fitness background, that has also been a plus size fitness instructor, I have reached new strength training goals and am able to do things I never thought I could.I’m so thankful for Hero and the new connections, goals, and life changing experience I have had.
