I was in Detroit for business and one of the first things I did was search out a gym to get me through the week. I came across RTB gym and decided to give them a try and I'm glad I did!
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. read more
