I have a lot of issues and injuries with my body, and he has always been sensitive and attentive to that. He is able to modify an exercise on the spot to accommodate. I'm always impressed with his creativity of the circuit exercises he comes up with for me, I'm never bored and I can always accomplish the task, which is encouraging. He really is amazing, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

I came into the gym in January and asked the front desk about the cancelation process because I was…read moremoving in March. The guy at the front desk told me since I was under contract, I did not have to cancel and that it would just end at the end of my contract. I have now moved about an hour away and they are still charging me $60 a month. I called yesterday and was basically told too bad and that my membership cannot be canceled until their general manager is onsite. Today, I called again because I hadn't received a response and the person over the phone said "you will not be getting a refund because you didn't cancel and my general manager still isn't here so tough." Excuse me? Rude. Disrespectful. Lack of customer service. I will be in that gym in the next 24/48 hours trust and believe that!

The Oakland Athletic Club is now Powerhouse Gym of Birmingham…read more It was taken over from a family that used to and I think still does run some of the other Powerhouse Gyms in Michigan. I was a previous member of OAC and am glad I'm sticking with the new and improved Powerhouse. Yes, there was a little bit of a wait until the facility was complete, but boy there's been a complete upgrade. More equipment, new bathrooms, including full towel service, steam AND sauna, plus all the classes, which my wife loves, are included in the membership. The only real con is I wish the hours on the weekends were open later to fit my schedule.

I decided to check out the Birmingham location to switch things up…read more This location wasn't as friendly and welcoming as the East Lansing and my home location. They were not rude and I didn't feel uncomfortable, it's just a difference I noticed compared to other locations where they always greet you by name and say hello up arrival. The class pushed me and made me realize I need to do more core strengthening. I was sweating so bad... but I had really good 3G workout today. I started at spot number 6 for floor exercises but the floor was very uneven in that area. I'm not sure how you build an exercise facility and the floor is very noticeable uneven. Due to class capacity, I couldn't move spots but I had enough room to move over a bit. If you're looking to get an good full body workout, I highly recommend Orangetheory fitness. I think they're offering a month for free right now so take advantage.

In case you don't want to read the reasons why I recommend Dr, Kirsch and the entire Birmingham…read moreChiropractic Clinic, I will get right to the point: - It's personal. They truly care about you. - It's personalized. They go at your pace to ensure comfort. - Integrity and honesty. True to his word and if he can't help you, he will tell you that up front (happened to my dad - read more below) - Above and Beyond. Realizing the discomfort I had been in, Dr. Kirsch personally called me that night just to see how I was doing (even though I would be there the next day). - Knowledgable. I don't think there is an injury Dr Kirsch has not seen. I am so comforted by his experience and confidence to fix me issue. And to add to that, he even recommended some medicine to talk to my MD about and he was spot on! Who else does that??? - Trust. It is that simple. I trust this office with myself, my wife, and daughter. I do not take the time to give reviews very often and only when a business has exceeded my expectations. That is exactly what Dr. David Kirsch (owner, operator, Doctor) did for me. On 1/24/21 I bent over to put a collar on my dog for a walk. That's all it took as I fell to my knees in seizing back pain. You probably know what I am talking about. That sudden pain that takes your breath away. I called Dr. Kirsch the very next morning and he was able to get me in that same morning. I could barely walk. Dr Kirsch has always been someone who listens and investigates before taking action. Side note: my father went to see him years ago and Dr. Kirsch was honest and said he could not help him due to the type of issue - that's honesty! Dr Kirsch took x-rays of my back and determined it was an injury he could help me get back to 100% AND teach me some exercises to avoid this from happening again. I was so grateful to hear that! Due to my extensive issue and pain level, Dr Kirsch developed a plan to get me feeling normal within a few days. At this time I am on day 4 and feeling 80% better with a plan to be just about 100% in two more days. That might seem long to you but it's not. It takes time to adjust correctly without causing more pain. And let me tell you when it happened I was in the worst pain I have ever felt. Today (day 4) I walked out singing his praises not believing how much better I felt. I am literally looking forward to going back. Finally I would absolutely recommend even a monthly adjustment to stay aligned- that is something I plan to do. You will never stand more straight, feel so strong, or feel so young (I am 51). My family and I have been going to his practice for many years. I see Dr, David Kirsch but my family has also seem his son Dr Joel Kirsch and Dr. Totten.
