The type of place where the women at the front desk let us in without signing a waiver or showing ID. She simply asked, "is this your first time here?" I said "yes" and she said "it's free, next time is $5." My brother and I had a good training session and left feeling jacked and tan. Will definitely keep going here when I'm in town.

Cannot say enough good things!…read more I've been working with Pete (the owner) with personal training for the last two months. He truly cares about his clients success and isn't there just for the money. He goes out of his way to keep each workout challenging and different so you aren't bored. Definitely the motivation I've been needing. I have personally seen fantastic results in two short months of working with Pete. If you follow his recommendations on nutrition and exercise it will work for you. Aside from the above comments, the atmosphere is very friendly. I have not once felt intimidated to go workout. The other trainers are very friendly and all of the clients are friendly as well and support each other in their success. If you are on the fence about personal training I encourage you to give this facility a try! Best decision I made.

I love EVERY aspect of this gym and it may be one of the best gyms I have ever been to. Allow me to explain all the great aspects: -They open a 4:30AM (huge plus for people like me who like to start the day with a workout before work) -They have a ton of equipment -The staff was super nice -You will rarely (if ever) see a member playing on their phone between sets. The only thing you'll see in their hands is a weight. -You will not find a gym that will give you a better bang for your buck -The members respect the gym -Its hard to explain, but just the atmosphere (music, pace of other members...etc) it makes you want to push yourself harder Make no mistake, this is a gym that functions with an old school muscle factory. This is not a fitness center, athletic club, or anything remotely resembling a place like planet fitness. You come here to work out. The machines have some wear to them from heavy use, but but everything functions properly. With that being said, you may look at the pictures, website, and videos and question if you would fit in at a gym like this. I will say that I was a little intimidated when I researched it as I am a 165lb shell of the man I used to be in college, but trust me, if you're serious about weightlifting, you keep your phone in your pocket, and push your limits, you'll fit right in!! Hell, its such a great gym that if I'm ever in the area or passing though, I may pick up a day pass just to experience it again.

I'm On the Mend- *After breaking my neck a few years ago and having had neck surgery, lower back herniations, and jaw difficulties-severe TMJ--this gym has been a blessing to me....the infrared training environment has helped with my pain substantially, and loosens up the muscles in a much needed way! My surgeon is impressed-I do keep him in the loop of my workouts! *Therefore-I have found an alternative means to a source of healing/recovery without medication-that works! Huge relief!!!! *Additionally, through the guidance of the professional trainers/Staff-I am in the best shape of my life-at the age of 45! And feel amazing-I feel stronger and healthier than ever before!!!

Sauna review ONLY…read more.. I'm very pleased to have a location that I don't have to be a member to use their sauna and on top of that you're able to reserve using their app. Please note they did book quickly, so book a head. **Let me start off - every REIF is pricing is different. So confirm pricing before booking. For all their services, they do request you arrive 15 to 30 mins early which I didn't know they'll also allow you to go in early as well. The sauna has it's own room, so no need to change in the restroom. You'll get a total of 45 mins, so make sure to change FAST. Lol! So why 3 stars? Well I was informed they have WIFI, music streaming, and Netflix (if you have an account) all in the sauna area; unfortunately when i tried internet, it was SO SLOW. I literally couldn't do anything - I was glad at least a class was going so i'll have some good music playing in the background (tried to tone out the instructor). I was excited to use the pre-settings in the sauna system but it seems like it wasn't getting heat enough - eventually i cancelled and turned up to the max. I will return but with a plan - soon as i walk in TURN UP THE TEMPERATURE (while i change) and don't count on internet to be working. If this place was closer, then i might look the other way but since i literally passed two other REIF; I was looking for top notch I guess.

The only reason this isn't 5 stars is the check in counter.

I got bored after 7 or 8 minutes and ended up leaving. Later that night I was able to register without much wait. The machines are on good condition and it wasn't too packed. I never had to wait to use a machine. Also there were several open mirrors. Usually at a gym I find each mirror is just as occupied as the machine by someone trying to determine of their biceps is large enough to distract others from seeing their bird legs. I guess that is a long winded way of saying the gym was filled mostly with average people like myself who just want to stay healthy and possibly lose a few lb' s. I would try to pick an off hour if you need to accomplish anything at the desk, but other than that it seems like a good gym.

I used to think that CrossFit was only for super fit people, but truly I found out that it was a lie. In CrossFit downriver there is a diversity of ages and levels. When I finally decided to join, I called and spoke to coach Kirk and told him I wanted to do a session (1st one is FREE, if u have never done CrossFit they have a 1:1 class to teach you all the moves, it does have a fee. Recommend because you don't want to hurt your self doing the wrong moves) My first day I was so scared but everyone was so welcoming and helpful ! And that is what drew me to join. They are a huge family and they welcome everyone ! Pros *All the coaches are great and knowledgeable! *huge variety of hours . *sometimes they have parties or get togethers. *they have a crossfit gymnastic class. *coaches help you figure out easier moves or lighter weights. *all ages and skill levels *they push you to finish but at the same time they cheer you on. *they post their workouts on their website and Facebook (I like to mentally prepare myself) *they always have their competition WOD. and their fitness WOD ( I do fitness and I sweat too much ) Cons- *none - well maybe being super sore after every class lol (but the pro is that is good for **************** With every work out I still die (no kidding)... but then I feel so relaxed and accomplished!

This place is disgusting and that's an understatement! not one time during the 5 months I've had my membership have I seen anyone clean.

This is what I get for a $30 membership that I can't get out of u til Feb 2024. You are guaranteed to walk away from that place with some kind of disgusting bacteria or virus.
