The Human Form

The Human Form Holistic Health, Fitness & Performance Institute Why? Because they're not assessing their clients. If you're not assessing, you're guessing.

At The Human Form, you can achieve results that are simply not possible in conventional health clubs. We do not guess. The HFF customizes your health, fitness and/or performance enhancement plan to fit you. Our comprehensive analysis enables us to prescribe the exact exercises and lifestyle “Re-Designs” to reach your goals.

Meet our Member Spotlight, Bob P! 🏌️‍♂️

"In February 2022 I sought out Lauren Miller, PT to help me rehab from a year-old, sports related knee injury. Human Form was new to me, although I grew up in Grandview. I liked what I saw – a holistic approach, a well-equipped, organized and clean facility and a giant Buddha image emblazoned with “Breathe.” It seemed like a special place, not just a gym.

I soon started training with Lauren, who continued to do her PT magic on not only my knee but both arms since I had also developed bilateral neuropathy and couldn’t raise my arms. After a couple of months, I began improving a lot. Thanks to Lauren, my arms are 99% free of any neuropathy symptoms. I continued to train with Lauren two times per week.

Michelle and Stephen as well and Jade and Jeff have created a terrific community yet focused on personalized coaching. Watching them train others, I was impressed. I learned from them and Lauren about the importance of proper breathing to successful physical exercise and conditioning. Michelle also provided some great nutrition coaching. Human Form is a special place.

Lauren and I do a lot of weight training, exercises for balance and for increased stamina. Most importantly, we don’t do burpees! I feel strong again. My golf game is better, travelling is easier, my flower garden looks great, and snow skiing fast is still too tempting to stop. I feel strong again, which is great as I just turned 80. I can live my life fully.

I am very grateful to Lauren and everyone at Human Form for helping me get to where I am and where I want to go. We are all facing down the future which is coming fast.

Mind, body and spirit. Breathe. I always feel better when I finish training. Always."

This holiday season, The Human Form has been collecting donations to support the Franklin County Dog Shelter & Adoption Centers Community Pet Pantry.

In true Human Form style, you have all shown up in a big way! We are amazed at the pile of supplies that has been growing at the studio in the past few weeks.

We’ll be collecting donations at the gym until tomorrow (Friday) when Coach Lauren will be loading it all in her SUV to drop off at the shelter.

If you’d like to donate but wont be in this week, you can still donate online, through their Amazon Wishlist, you can find the link to it here:

Every little bit helps — whether it’s a bag of kibble, a few cans of food, or a fun treat for a pup in need. Thank you all for being such a generous and supportive community!

Meet our Member Spotlights, Jeff and Caroline Haskett 🤗

"Jeff is a true Buckeye; I grew up a Georgia peach. We met as consultants in Florida, then married in 1999 on Amelia Island. Over the years, we have built businesses and raised kids together (2/3 fully launched!), but had never really exercised together – until now, at The Human Form.

Jeff has always been the athlete – marathons, biking across Ohio. Me? Not so much. For decades, I largely ignored strength and fitness. By my early 50s, I was losing muscle fast and feeling fragile. A bone density scan confirmed it was time to act – for my health and to keep up with Jeff in the years ahead.

Home workouts quickly led to injury. Jeff offered to help, but I wanted to chart my own path. That’s when I stumbled across The Human Form. One testimonial on their homepage spoke to me immediately. Still, gyms had never been my thing, so I hesitated. But Michelle’s warm welcome, expertise, and encouragement gave me just the push I needed.

After a few months of building confidence, I invited Jeff to join me – thinking that if we can tackle work and family together, we can tackle the gym together too. Two years later, we can’t imagine life without it. The Human Form has become essential to our health and fitness. The coaches challenge us, inspire us, and help us make every rep count. The members are fun and genuinely uplifting. I feel stronger and more balanced (hello, core!). And Jeff? He’s still biking across Ohio – now leading the pack with his Human Form-powered quads."

Meet our Member Spotlight, Laura Stewart! 😊

"Fitness Rooted in Care, Community, and Connection.

I joined The Human Form in September 2024, and it quickly became a pivotal part of my wellness journey. As someone who’s been active throughout life, I’ve always valued movement—but the structured workouts at The Human Form offered something I hadn’t realized I was missing: expert guidance without the pressure of planning it all myself. My sister-in-law, who knew both Michelle and Stephen Ladd, recommended the program, and once I met Michelle, her warmth and professionalism made me eager to dive in. I couldn’t wait to attend the classes and finally feel supported in a way that matched both my goals and my lifestyle.

Before joining, I was navigating the dual challenges of a demanding career as a hospital pharmacy manager and the physical shifts brought on by menopause. Despite my efforts, I faced stubborn metabolic changes and weight gain that left me exhausted, frustrated, and discouraged. My self-esteem took a hit, and I felt like I was constantly falling short despite my discipline. The Human Form has helped me reclaim my energy and confidence. It’s not just a workout—it’s a space where I feel seen, capable, and reconnected to the strength I’ve always had."

Meet our Member Spotlight, Veda!

"I've been a member since December 2021. I was born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA. I studied anthropology at Pitt and zoology at OSU. I started running in the ’70s, but in my 30s, I decided that wasn’t enough—so I began doing workout videos at home. That wasn’t something I found easy to stick with, so I joined a local gym and attended for many years.

That’s where I first discovered yoga—because it was free! Meanwhile, I got downsized at OSU, held several part-time jobs, but kept up with my workouts and eventually decided to become a yoga instructor. Then, COVID hit. I kept up with my personal yoga practice and taught classes via Zoom, but gym attendance fell by the wayside.

In my heart, I knew I needed to get back to weight training. One of my yoga students used to attend my classes wearing a Human Form T-shirt. She raved about the place, the equipment, the location, the schedule, and especially the semi-personal training with excellent coaches. So, I joined.

It immediately felt like the place I was meant to be. Everyone—from the owners and coaches to the other members—is supportive and helpful. They all have a great sense of humor, which is so appreciated when you're trying to improve and need lots of encouragement.

My right shoulder is damaged and weak, but all the coaches work with it and give me plenty of options for stretching, toning, and building strength. I've gotten stronger since attending, met great people, and found it easy to stick with workouts because every class is different.

If you’re someone who wants to start working out in a gym setting, I highly recommend The Human Form. The price is reasonable, the class schedule is flexible, and the coaches are simply the best."

This April, we’re kicking off a series of challenges, held every other month for the rest of the year, with an educational topic in between. Coach Jade’s 30 Days of Fitness Challenge is first up! For the month of April, we’re challenging you to get at least 20 minutes of movement each day. Whether it’s strength training, walking, yoga, or stretching, the goal is to build a consistent habit that improves both your physical and mental health.

Head over to the education board on the turf side of the gym to check out all the details: the benefits of daily movement, why it's important, and how to stay on track. Below the board, you’ll find a tracking sheet where you can log your daily progress. When you're not in the studio, use your own devices or paper to track, and then record it on the sheet. At the end of April, we'll recognize those who’ve stayed the most consistent!

The board is up, so you can check it out. The challenge starts Tuesday, April 1st. Who’s in?
