    Fantastic gym to drop in when you're in the area. I've dropped in here around 4-5 times now over…read morethe past year when I'm in town for work. Coaches are friendly and approachable. Good classes. Solid no frills programming. Ridiculously nice space - it is HUGE. Great gym!

    Since this place is the only reason I can claim to have some semblance of sanity (okay, okay, take…read moreit easy)... it's time to not only bump up the star rating but also mention some changes/updates. I moved out A2-way during the earlier days of COVID last year and needed a place to exercise. Remembered enjoying Wolverine Strength and Conditioning several years back and decided to give it a go. At that time, they were doing outdoor workouts, which was a big bonus! Plus, there were a lot of really great people both training and being trained. It was the most social thing that I was doing at the time - so not only did I improve my health by exercising regularly again, I also improved my health by having a social connectedness that was lacking in so many other areas of life. After the summer months, we headed inside. They made nice little "parking spots" with all the equipment separated out so that you had your own space. Of course they required face masks, per state regulations. But they also took extra precautions by giving us cleaning towels and products to wipe down the equipment after every use. They also had us go to the common areas in groups to keep contact down. Now that the weather is turning nice, they have told us that we will be going outside periodically again. It's SOOOO great of them to do that since it really is hard on the equipment, plus it's labor intensive. I honestly can't say enough good things about this gym. If you're looking to get your health in check (especially since we know that health is SO IMPORTANT when it comes to infectious disease) - definitely check this place out. You can drop in for free (one session), and then the $160/month is for month-to-month without an annual commitment. It's like getting a personal trainer - but for a LOT less! I cannot believe the changes I've seen in my body in less than a year... and how much more agile and good I feel. For the record, I'm 47 years old and feel better than I think I've ever felt. I may have gray hair... but I wouldn't mess with me if I were you! ;) Haha.

    This is the place I've been looking for!!!!!! I'm so excited, I can barely contain myself…read more The Amazing: - The gym is nicely situated away from the hubbub of Ann Arbor. That means there's parking. And it's even free. - The people that work here are awesome. They are friendly and knowledgeable. - The pricing structure is spectacular. You pay $68/month. This gives you access to the gym from 6a-9p every day (yes, every day). You can cancel at any time (YESSS!!! I love them for this. I hate those gym contracts. So so much. I always feel like I'm getting scammed or talked into stuff I don't want or need too. Not here!!!) - The equipment is the shit. They have everything in there that I could want. I did enjoy doing crossfit when I did it... it was fun. But it was just too hard on my body. Regular gyms don't contain much of the crossfit stuffs (slam balls, wall balls, rubber bands, free bars with the big weights, hex bars, kettle bells, and more). This place fixes that by providing all this cool stuff, w/o the cost or crossfit workout. LOVE. They also have the rowing machines that I like to use and I'm excited to spend a little time getting into shape using them. :) - The "Lunch Hour Energizer" class put on by Jeff is perfect. Thirty minutes long, great variety, personal attention. I generally am not a class person, but this is more like group personal training. It's awesome, and I highly suggest you give it a try. What needs just a little TLC: - The website is hard to follow. It's hard to know the hours, what's actually included in the prices, and what the class schedule is. Their website doesn't need to have so much instagram on it, as it distracts from what they have to offer and what I'm there to do - see what the place is about. They should also have a link to their fb page on their main site. I had to go to fb and manually type it in. Okay, okay... first world problems. :) In a nutshell, this is my new favorite gym. I've been a member of a LOT of gyms. Have lived all over the world and visited gyms in other countries. So the fact that it's my favorite is saying a lot. Of course, personal preference on what you're looking for in a gym will alter your wants/needs. If you want a sauna and hot tub... well then, this isn't it. But if you want a solid workout that's fun with all the equipment you could need, here you go!

They just had trouble cancelling their memberships for several months. He spoke to the front desk. The staff said he needs to contact manager. They gave him an email which is fake. I canceled on his website account and his account was disabled immediately and never can went in to check the status. Then I had to cancel the payment through the bank. Now we kept on receiving crunch debt collection. This is crazy! And if you read review, we are not the only victim regarding this! I will talk to legal service! This is crazy and illegal. Why do I need to cancel the membership with the manager. We do not need to see manager when we sign up!

I went in person to cancel 11 days ago and as far as I can tell, the process isn't even initiated. First was told that they couldn't help me there, I needed to email a location inbox with my request. I did this same day. No response or acknowledgement for a few days, so I followed up with a phone call to check in. Got an apology for the delay from the person I spoke to, and that they were going to personally check with their manager on my request. No response to my email request for another few days, so I followed up by phone again... same story. Person I spoke with said it was unacceptable and they'd check in for me. Absolute crickets. Their excuse is that they just got a new manager? And said they were receiving a lot of phone calls about cancellations because I guess no one is currently responding to the inbox?? Over a week to acknowledge and respond to the request is staring to feel shady, and I wouldn't be surprised if this stretches to over 2 weeks or longer. I am expecting them to honor the date of my request though for what is I believe a 10 day lag for cancellations, and that I should not receive any additional monthly charges.

    Tried them out with a new client 2 class pack special! My first visit was this weekend and I took…read morethe Starter50: Introduction to SolidCore class. It was a great experience! Checking in was easy, and for my first time, it was so helpful to get a quick overview of the equipment and get full explanations and demos of the sets of exercises we were going to tackle. It was nice knowing what to expect ahead, and a good rotation through core, legs/glutes, obliques, and upper body. Lots of first or second timers and this class and I felt supported/guided. Instructor was walking around giving feedback, and asked ahead of time on permission for light touch corrections. It was a great pilates/strength training type workout! Adaptable to different experience and fitness levels. I'm definitely still sore two days out. I think most of the workout could be replicated at home with weights, bands, and sliders, but it's very fun to use the fancy reformer machine and be guided through / not have to plan or program a really effective workout.

    I've taken ~60 or so solidcore classes at this point in three different states at 5 different…read morestudios, so I've been able to experience a lot of variation in the classes offered. Overall solidcore is my favorite workout I've ever tried and I'm totally a super fan for life. Unfortunately this wasn't my favorite studio. Pros: 1. Instructor was phenomenal (I took class with Jane S) - she offered a lot of versatility in the class, offered plenty of modifications and amplifications, and clearly knew what she was doing. Gave shoutouts to individuals within the class which I always really like. Probably one of the best solidcore instructors I've taken class with 2. The class itself is awesome as mentioned above. I'm just totally obsessed with solidcore - can't recommend it enough for someone looking for a challenging but high-energy full body strength class. Cons: 1. The reformers at this studio needed a major facelift. They were rusty, the rubber covering the strings was falling off, and I think they have smaller platforms than the standard sweatlana (although that may have been my imagination). I'm not sure if they were just really old or maybe purchased from another studio secondhand or something but they were soooo bad compared to the quality that I'm used to at solidcore 2. No lockers in this studio (just bins) which is obviously a risk for theft, etc. not the end of the world but I feel like having lockers is a pretty baseline request All in all, I don't live in Michigan full time so I likely won't be back anyway, but if I did live in the area I'd return as I just absolutely love the workout. Studio just needs some TLC

I'd never really enjoyed yoga before, but the wonderful team at aUM Yoga has made me a convert! They do primarily serve the University of Michigan community, so you need to be ok with taking class with college students...but I'm totally fine being one of the few older townies amongst the 20-somethings! The teachers are welcoming, I've never felt out of place (in fact, they were greeting me by name by my 2nd or 3rd class!). I also appreciate that the teachers are always receptive to feedback - and even willing to stay after class to help folks with any poses or answer questions. The general vibe is friendly, open, positive, supportive, and empowering - which is really what keeps me coming back. You feel good all around, not just physically, when you leave class. Jessie, Chelsea, Annella, and Helena are instructors I've taken from the most often, and they all have been very knowledgeable and wonderful to learn from. Each obviously has their own style (each is aspirational for me!), but they clearly are on the same page philosophically, share best practices, and genuinely enjoy each other which is lovely to see. They are all deeply invested in the practice of yoga as well as the students in their classes. I enjoy the music (teacher's choice but generally not stereotypically "yoga"-y good stuff with a beat), the temperature (warm but not hot), and the space (the studio does have permanently installed poles since it's a yoga & pole studio - but I kind of enjoy how they establish lines and spacing for our mats). They don't do hands-on corrections (which is actually COVID-friendly); their approach is to talk you step by step through the poses and flows as well as demonstrating themselves. Vinyasa 1 was a great place to start as a beginner - shorter, more straightforward flows (usually 2 that you run through 3 times), a bit slower (though interesting enough for more advanced yogis to enjoy and add challenge as they see fit). Vinyasa 2 is a step up because the flows are longer and a bit more complex, have even more room for adding challenge based on personal choice, and give the class opportunity to do one more run of the flow on your own time and pacing. They have a whole range of pole dancing classes as well, which I'm trying to screw up the courage to get into, and offer some interesting yoga teacher trainings and retreats. As someone with a dance background, I've really loved the interesting, varied flows that the teachers put together - I would actually describe some of them as similar to dance combinations! And as one who is not so fond of balances and inversions, they don't include a whole lot into the usual flows, and when they are, I don't feel pressure to take those on if I don't feel it. I've found that over the year, I've learned the poses and correct technique pretty organically, and I've DEFINITELY felt the changes in my body. After 2 babies, I feel like I'm starting to get some core muscles back! And the mental/emotional benefits have been great as well. They have nice new client offers - discounted 1st class or one month unlimited classes. I started with class packs but quickly shifted to unlimited classes - and have enjoyed dropping in whenever I have the time. Though you need to pre-register for classes, I've never had problems getting into classes I've been interested in. Perhaps this is due to a post-COVID slowdown, but this has been the case even as folks have been more out and about. So - clearly, I'm a fan of aUM Yoga! I'd highly recommend anyone - novices and experts, students and townies - check out this warm community.

    I have been looking for a yoga studio here in Ann Arbor and attended a free yoga class here to see…read moreif I would like the studio/instruction/etc. I registered early to ensure I could get a spot, assuming they would cap registration. They did not, in fact, seem to cap registration. There were 63 people in a a medium-sized room, and mats were laid out by staff ahead of time in such an array that there was no room between mats for people to walk through. During the class, the heat was cranked up, and with 63 people in the room, it was incredibly hot. In a hot yoga class, I was surprised to see you could not walk out of the room safely. People were so close together that their sweat was hitting your face. My friend got kicked in the face and chest three times. You could not even spread your arms in a warrior two. The teacher clearly recognized it was wild because she kept making jokes about it, which helped but not that much because it felt unsafe. I tried to tell the owner when she added me on Facebook (which was wild in itself) and she just said that their usual classes are not that busy. I could not believe that the owner would be fine with having such an unsafe environment for the class- having a hot room with no escape with people unable to even reach for their water bottles because of the lack of room!!! It felt like a fire hazard, or at least a medical one. Still looking for a yoga studio if anyone knows of a good one around here.
