    Retrofit is the most underrated, awesome HIIT-style gym in Metro-Detroit. I started going to…read moreRetrofit back in 2017 after moving back to Royal Oak from Los Angeles. Since then, the owner Brad has continued to evolve his gym both in supplies, training style, and employees. They offer affordable 1:1 training as well as group fitness classes that are effective and efficient. As a trainer myself, I love their method of using drop-sets, heavy weights, and functional movement/cardio.

    A couple of months ago, I realized that I was tired of overcrowded gyms & getting to exercise…read moreclasses 30 minutes early to fight for a spot. I also realized that it was one more excuse that I didn't need to avoid exercising. A long time ago, I had a really good experience with a Personal Trainer, and decided that was what I needed to do. I came across Retrofit Studio reviews here on Yelp, sort of accidentally. I liked what I read from the reviews & their website. I liked the idea of a private studio too. I called Brad & set up a consultation. There is no doubt that Brad loves what he does & wants every client to be successful. He spent a lot of time listening & talking to me about realistic goals, nutrition, and what to expect. He decided to set me up with Mark, one of his trainers. So far, I have had 8 training sessions with Mark. When Brad said he was a good fit for me, he was right! My sessions are 30 minutes, 2 times a week. By the time I leave, I am a sweaty mess! Mark challenges me, makes sure I have good form, and always encouraging. If I don't do it right, I have to do it again. Every session varies to work different muscle groups, especially the areas that are difficult to target. As hard as he makes me work, I'm never too sore to exercise in between our sessions. That is important to me because I need to do my part outside of our sessions. Mark checks with me regarding my diet and what I'm doing to reach my weight loss goals between our sessions. I always have fun training with Mark even when it's really difficult. The studio itself is great. It's very clean, doesn't smell funky like a lot of gyms (ha!), and a great variety of training techniques & equipment. There are a few cardio machines for client use before or after a session. Every trainer is always encouraging clients, whether it's their client or not. What about results? I started to feel stronger right away and continue to feel that way. I'm steadily losing weight & seeing the jiggle disappear! My muffin top is shrinking! I asked my husband if he noticed any changes. The poor guy looked at me with slight fear of answering the wrong way. ha! I wanted an honest answer. I don't expect fast results, but I am curious if the changes I see are noticeable to others. He said that he has seen a big change. He said I have been a lot happier since I started training with Mark. I wasn't expecting that answer & it made me realize I haven't felt that way about getting in shape (or trying to) in a long time. It sort of made me all verklempt! This is one of the best decisions I've made in a long time!

    This place is the best!! I have always enjoyed exercise classes (step, kickboxing, spinning, etc.)…read morebut since the pandemic haven't found the right place with what I need now, ie. strength training, until now! Berkley FBBC has it down to a science, fast, efficient and effective! The workouts are high energy and just the right amount of intensity to push yourself to the max in a great community of coaches to keep you in proper form and performing well. Love, love, love this place!!

    I was skeptical of this place before I even visited and I should have trusted my instincts. The…read morewebsite is super vague, there are no pictures of the studio on their Yelp account, I had to go to their Facebook page to find a picture of the inside of their facilities, there are no prices on the website, and it just felt too infomercial-like. I decided to give this place a try for two reasons, one it is within biking distance to my house and two, the website said they were offering a 21-day package for $79. Apon requesting more info on their website I got an email for a free 3-Day free pass so I figured I would check it out. They also have great reviews, almost too great but I'll get into that later. I called the studio twice to make sure if I arrived for the 6pm class I would be able to register and participate in the same day but no one picked up so I went over anyway figuring I had nothing to lose. I walked in and the woman behind the desk told me they upgrade everyone to a 1-Week free pass on their first visit I just had to pay $1 and put a card on file. I was able to participate in the 6pm class which was great, I got an awesome workout done in 30 minutes. I went back up to the desk so they could get my measurements (but their scale was broken...at a gym focused on weight loss) and then the rapid fire of numbers and dates started. This woman was talking so fast, spitting out all kinds of numbers, and discounts and basically started negotiating with me when I am sure she could tell I was shocked by this information. I asked her to email me a recap of what we went over since I was so freakin' confused. She agreed but warned me that the discounts only get applied if you sign up during your first visit but would extended them by one day, just for me. We went back and forth via email several times just to get to the bottom of what I was asking. It shouldn't be that hard to figure out what someone needs to pay to become a member. Since the prices aren't on their website, here you go: Month-month $239.99/mo 6 month agreement $189.99/mo 12 month agreement $169.99/mo 18 month agreement $149.99/mo They also offer a 4-week trial for first time members only for $109.99 which they will give you an additional week for a FIVE STAR YELP REVIEW (which a lot of gyms in the area also do so beware) and a $10 discount if you sign up for the trail on your first day. The people working there are really nice and the other members taking the classes are also very sweet but the whole money thing gave me an uneasy feeling that I just don't want to have to deal with.
