RENOVATE | RENEW | RESTORE | REPAIR | REPEAT
Innovative Fitness, Inspired By You.
What We Stand For
We believe fitness should be holistic, fun, and individualized.
We pride ourselves on being a small gym, which allows us to know every name and face, every individual's goals and needs, and therefore are able to provide a tailored workout, even in our group settings.
We strive to make Renovo more of a community than a gym, and want everyone to feel welcome and wanted here.
We are a place that welcomes everyone, no matter where they are on their fitness journey, from just getting started to lifelong athletes.
We are truly a fitness family, and we hope that you will join us!
What You'll Find at Renovo
Beyond the standard amenities of showers and lockers, we believe in a truly holistic approach to health and wellness. Which is why we have partnered with a wide array of professionals to bring you the best, most comprehensive health and wellness experience we can.
Massage
Our on-site massage room offers a nice relief from the sore muscles that often accompany working out! Massage therapist Angie Sharp offers a wide variety of services including Swedish massage, CranioSacral Therapy, and RainDrop Therapy. Visit her site for details!
Nutrition Services
We understand that working out is just a small part of the journey. We partner with nutrition professionals to help you find the best fit and create lifestyle changes that can be maintained. Beyond a diet, our partners aim to fit good nutrition into your whole life, for lasting results!
Meet the Trainers
Eric Doernhoefer
Co-owner + Head Personal Trainer
Eric, co-founder of Renovo Fitness, has been passionate and involved in athletics since childhood. After completing his degree in Kinesiology alongside friend, teammate, and future co-founder, Bear, Eric established himself back home in Ohio where he received his training accreditation from the ACSM. Now that he has rounded out the Renovo team by including his sister, Liz, he is dedicated to a new and fresh approach to wellness. Eric is very excited to share the Renovo way of health and fitness with central Ohio.
Bear Jacobsen
Co-owner + Group Trainer
Born in California, Bear’s love for sports at an early age led him to Cornell College where he majored in Kinesiology, played soccer, and participated in track and field. Co-founding Renovo Fitness brought together Bear’s love for exercise and interest in helping people, and there’s no place he’d rather be than working with a client to achieve their goals!
Liz Doernhoefer
Manager + Trainer
Liz took the long way around to get to Renovo Fitness. The most recent addition to the team, Liz graduated with a degree in Economics from Colorado College where she played rugby and minored in Human Biology. After a brief stint working in Human Resources, she was convinced to join the Renovo family as the resident accountant/financial planner/HR department. Unable to resist the excitement of personal training and her own love of lifting heavy weights, she went on to receive her Strength and Conditioning Specialist certification (C.S.C.S.) from the NSCA and has been helping out on the gym floor ever since!
“I love the personal touch of a small gym. They know your name and what you need in the way of a workout. They are encouraging, but can also give you a kick in the butt if you need it!”
