Thanks to my Aunt De-De and Uncle Warren, I was talked into getting up pretty early last Saturday…read moremorning to meet them for a workout at Art of Strength. I didn't know what to expect other than an intense workout, and that's exactly what I received! The class I attended was split into two smaller groups. One went with Mike and one with Peter. I went with Peter and my workout included cardio (with a stationary bike, rowing machine, ski machine, and jumping jacks), lunges, upper body using a medicine ball and ropes, and a ton of squats. I liked how we kept switching exercises so I didn't get bored at all. I also liked that Peter took into account injuries of those in our group and gave them alternative exercises that were right for their situation... trainers / instructors don't always do that. The folks in Mike's group (including my aunt, uncle, cousin, brother, and a few friends) were all out of breath and dripping sweat by the end of their workout. I could tell that Mike's reputation is to be tough and kind of a smart-ass, but it works. He's a huge motivator for those in the gym. I loved the energy at AOS and I would totally workout here if I lived in Michigan full time. I was a little nervous after the workout that I'd be too sore to stand up at my sister's wedding that evening, but I felt great and had a fabulous time at the wedding... Thanks again to Peter for the workout and to Aunt De-De for motivating me to get my ass to AOS that morning!

They sent an email to me in February 2024 stating "As we strive to provide you with the best facilities, equipment, and services, we occasionally need to adjust our rates. We are writing to inform you about a modest increase in our annual membership fee. Beginning March there will be a $10 increase to your annual fee. Your monthly dues will remain the same and will not be increased." Which was false-- my monthly membership increased by 6.95%. At a glance, that amount was not noticeable, like a tick sucking my blood. Then I was out of town not using my gym service for several months to come to find out it was put on hold and my membership was further increased by another 10.42%. So from my agreed membership fee at the time of contract signing, I'm paying more in annual 'maintenance' fees AND 16.67% more in monthly fees and not getting any more value out of the gym so I'm cutting my loss here. The thing I have the most gripe about is that it feels like it was done under my nose because 99% of the emails I receive from Powerhouse Gym are spam about sweepstakes and the Powerhouse App. If you still insist on making this your gym, carefully read your contract as it does state that they will increase your gym memberships without your consent or notice.

I did take a smaller trainer led class to try it out, and I really really liked it. But the price point, after spending a lot/month already is a bit outrageous. The cafe is nice, but the drinks are pricey. $8 for a smoothie? Maybe not. The equipment seems clean, up to date and there is a lot of it. Classes on the second floor, equipment on the third. Showers are nice, water is a little all over the place with the temperature. But good pressure. I wanted a place with good showers and free coffee. Hey, it is the only thing that motivates me to go. Didn't quite get that, but overall I am pleased. Month to month too - I love that. Don't notice the lines at the showers or in the parking lot because I go at 5 am.

The treadmills here are unique in that they have a track feature which allows you to see your progress. This gym also has good shower facilities. I recently took a Zumba class on Friday at 8:45 am and it was difficult but a lot of fun. It was my first time experiencing it so I arrived a few minutes early to introduce myself to the instructor and tell her it was my first time. Her name was Karen and she has been instructing Zumba for 7 years. She was a student of a very good Brazilian dancer and it shows. The class was animated and high energy, I struggled to keep up and will need a few more classes to get some of the moves but when I did get the moves I felt exhilarated. I stayed after to talk with Karen and she recommended that I stay on my toes and do a 4 or 8 count to keep the pace when switching moves. She wasn't harsh when the students didn't get it right she just kept smiling and kept the class moving. I'll be coming back again soon to take more lessons from her.

I love that it feels like a little family and I've made several friends here. It isn't the shiniest or newest place, but that is what I love. It doesn't feel pretentious and I don't feel intimidated to work out, which is something I've hated about other gyms. They also sell snacks and shakes, have a small salon and very clean locker rooms. A great gym overall!

In my short period at Motiv8 I lost 1.8lbs, but more importantly I LOST 1.2% OF BODY FAT! That is a great feeling, also that I can now do 15 pushups before burning out - when I started I could only do 10! When the new year hits, I'll be joining! You should come join with me!
