Fantastic gym to drop in when you're in the area. I've dropped in here around 4-5 times now over the 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! read more

Wolverine Strength and Conditioning - Trainers Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

Since this place is the only reason I can claim to have some semblance of sanity (okay, okay, take it 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. read more

Great facility with great people. My wife and I were in town for one week and got very reasonably priced unlimited week passes. There was always someone at the front desk to greet us, which I believe is important for any business, but extraordinarily underrated in the CrossFit world. And the person greeted us with a smile and acted as though we were expected. The owner greeted us too. We attended several HIIT classes as well as a few CrossFit classes. We will be back when we're in AA again. read more

Today, I decided to drop in at Wolverine Strength and Conditioning. After, reading reviews of the boxes in the area, I chose Wolverine (almost decided to change my mind when "Filthy 50" was the WOD). When I got there, Zack greeted me and had me sign a waiver. The drop in fee was either $20 without a Tshirt or buy one for $25. I chose to buy the shirt. Only 3 people showed up for the WOD (probably cherry pickers), but Zack said since it is summer, many parents have the kids at home. I didn't mind. Zack gave us great instruction and ran us through a quick tabata of OHS, SUs, DUs & HR PUs. This box is definitely a place I will stop in at again. Very clean, hospitable and great coaches. read more

Wolverine Strength and Conditioning - #wolverinestrong 5 stars! - Trainers Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

I'm an older woman (over 50) and have been reluctant to join a Crossfit gym after sustaining a neck injury at a Crossfit gym a few years ago. But I'd heard good things about Wolverine Crossfit so I decided to drop by to take a look. I was greeted by Chris, the owner, who was very professional and made me feel comfortable. I liked the way he served as a second pair of eyes on the class and helped individuals who appeared to be new to Crossfit. As I watched, I also was struck by the high level of enthusiasm and positive attitudes of the coaches and members. Since joining, I've been even more impressed. I assumed they would be thinking, "What's she doing here; she's so OLD," but if that's the case, I haven't noticed. This gym attracts equal numbers of men and women of all ages, races, and religious affiliations. At the end of a great two-week long "Foundations" class with Callie, and some valuable extra help from Chris, and Mike, the head coach, I can tell I'm walking with my shoulders back, and with a renewed sense of confidence in my strength and conditioning. Whether you're new to Crossfit, or have been doing it for years, I highly recommend Wolverine Strength and Conditioning. They're knowledgeable, they've got their act together, and they care. read more

I dropped in. Very welcoming staff. Has a great workout I thought the coach was attentive but not overbearing. Workout was traditional xfit. Importantly the gym is heated so you get a good sweat. read more

My 12 yo daughter started training at this facility in weightlifting. The previous gym she trained at was terrible. In 5 months she has made amazing progress. Their coaches are top notch. Hannah the weightlifting coach is excellent. read more

I've been going to Wolverine Strength & Conditioning for 3 months now. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about this facility and the coaches here. I was intimidated by the idea of crossfit but I really wanted to try and learn about strength training. I researched crossfit facilities in the area and I chose Wolverine based on reviews and recommendations. The coaches here are meticulous, client-focused, and perfectionists. I had an extensive conversation with Mike, the head coach, prior to my first class to assess my athletic ability (and inability), and previous injuries. Working out here isn't all "go hard or go home". Their business is built on quality and they have a large following because of it. The coaches know when to push you to the next level and when to hold you back for your safety. The facility is beautiful- equipment are clean and extremely well-maintained. Wolverine is also incredibly generous to the members and the community. They host monthly "Park WODs" during the summer months where members can bring dogs and friends. There are monthly game nights for getting to know other members. Over Memorial day weekend, they partner with Team RWB to host members, friends, and veterans for a WOD and BBQ. I have learned so much and I have certainly gotten much stronger since I started coming here. I am extremely proud to be part of this community. read more

Wolverine is a great place to start crossfit, or go from a beginner to an Rx athlete! I was a member for ~7 months from November to May (graduated Grad school). Since January, I dropped 21 pounds from 231 to 210 pounds and achieved some amazing power and olympic lifting goals. I had a pre-existing torn ACL in my knee and some legacy injuries (back etc), but with the staff I was able to push past those in large part. The member culture is great and not overly intense - amazing people (mostly 30+ year old professionals, but a few students too) that brought me back to that high school & college team lifting environment. The trainers are approachable, but provide detailed technique improvements to achieve your best. The space is quite large for a crossfit box (2x the size of another 400+ member box I went to), and it allows for a lot more mobility work during the cold winter months. Compared to other crossfit gyms, I observed their programming excels at teaching gymnastics-style movements as well as complex olympic movements like snatch, clean and jerk etc. I suggest adding a glute-ham developer station, benches for bench press, more plates and build in more speed work. Also, give away the t-shirts! It's free advertising! read more

I've been a member at Wolverine for four years and it has changed my life for the better in so many ways. I started from zero: I had never lifted weights and hadn't worked out regularly in years, so if that's you, don't worry: it's not a roadblock! The coaches at Wolverine are attentive and careful about teaching the fundamentals solidly so that you can build up skills, strength, and endurance gradually. Part of what makes CrossFit so fun is that you're always learning and you get to see yourself changing and getting better. One of the best aspects of Wolverine is the strong element of community. The coaches and staff work intentionally to build up the sense of being on a team with the other members, so there are always other people there to celebrate your gains with you. Wolverine has also been great for my family. My husband and I work out at different times, but have had so much fun sharing what we're doing at the gym. Our kids have always been welcome at Wolverine. They spent a lot of time watching us from the kids corner and got to see me doing my first rope climbs up to the ceiling, conquering double-unders, and hitting new PRs in weightlifting. They have a new paradigm for seeing moms and dads be fit. They're old enough for the kids' classes now and they couldn't wait to start learning. read more

I love working out here after a rough day on the job or just a lazy weekend. The community is fun and inclusive, the facility is air conditioned, and the training is a blast. The coaches make Crossfit accessible to everyone, they'll work around your injuries and limitations. I'd recommend this gym to anyone who enjoys an active lifestyle and post-workout icecream breaks with friendly crossfitters. read more

I can't say enough about this place. My entire perspective on fitness has changed in the 1.5 years I've been getting to WSC. They have a safety first mentality - so they will get you stronger but do so in a safe, controlled, and scaled way. When I started at WSC I couldn't tell you what to do with a barbell. They taught me. Cleans. Snatches. Kettlebells. Deadlifts. All done safely and professionally. I couldn't tell you anything about recovery. They taught me (and taught me to teach myself!) I couldn't tell you anything about nutrition or diet. I can now talk macronutrients and balance. You may not care about any of these things. I didn't when I started. I just knew that sitting at my desk all day was slowly killing me. I have now dropped in at Crossfit gyms all over the country. I have yet to find a cleaner, more organized, more professional, more experienced gym. I've got a totally new body, and it's all because the WSC team has taught me how to get there. If you want to get in shape, come in and give it a try. They will take care of you. read more

So I got trained by head coach Mike O'Brien quite possibly the best coach I've ever been trained by! Mike puts together a comprehensive work out that most of the time did not even involve much weight and it will challenge the best of athletes, I'm sure he can put together a super heavy lifting waited WOD But he knows most people don't need that and they really just need to get mobile. Thank you Mike I appreciated you making me sweat on your floor! I can't wait to get back to Ann Arbor! read more

I have been to A few crossfit places in the world and this is one of the best. I took a couple of classes w zach and Laughlin - they were extremely knowledgeable and gave great instruction. The place was big and set up great. Everyone was friendly. The wods I did were very creative and extremely challenging - something you really want. I also loved that the drop in fee was only buying a shirt if you wanted it- I wanted it anyways ! read more

Amazing Crossfit gym, best I've been in the nation. I travel some and I try to drop in everywhere I go. The infrastructure of this box is outstanding, and the people were super friendly. read more

Mike has built a great gym and a fantastic community around it. The programming from warm-up to cool-down is well-thought-out and fun, the space is large and clean, and the coaches and members are a pleasure to learn from and interact with. I just love coming back to this place. read more

This place is...RAD! Thanks to Chris and the amazing staff here, I had an incredibly challenging and rewarding time working out in A2! A visitor from afar, the folk here were so cool to me and made me feel at home right away! At one point, when my workout was super intense, awesome trainers came around and got right up in my face and told me I was a beast and an animal - it was awesome inspiration! Sore for days... Thanks, you guys! I'll be back...if I'm lucky... read more

I loved this place. Super friendly staff, very accommodating and a really nice facility. Lots of space and everything you could possibly need for your workout. I went for open gym (which they offer all day). I will definitely be back! read more

I have been coming regularly for about a month. The coaches are friendly and encouraging. The community is nice and welcoming. I originally did a week drop-in to see what the box was like. There are team or group warm-ups which makes it easier to meet fellow cross fitters. I enjoy the WOD's and the coaches do a great job at integrating the warm-up with the WOD. read more

Awesome coaches who know what they're (and you're) doing. A schedule to fit anyone's schedule. CrossFitters of every level at every class/WOD. A community that feels ...like a community. I can't speak more highly of Wolverine and their CrossFit classes. read more

The coaches are very focused on keeping you safe while pushing your limits. It's a great gym with really friendly people who all really care about you and your progress in fitness. The main coach, Mike, pays attention to everyone while the lift, no matter the level athlete they are. Another one of my favorite coaches, Zach, has great programming, always pushes you to test your limits, and still keeps you safe. I love this gym and would recommend anyone even considering crossfit to visit. You don't need to be in "crossfit shape" to join, they will safely get you there and beyond. read more

Been there a year now... it's an amazing group of coaches and staff. The building has everything that you need to work out: bathrooms, changing areas, shower, access to a fridge if you need, and temporary lockers to store your stuff. Safety isn't a concern as the place as camera's and very active staff looking over each other, and your belongings if you leave them in one of the cubbies. The building is easy to get to, just off of I-94 at State street - heading south. Huge parking lot and well lit and secure at night. Safe area. Mike, the head coach, is very detailed and very specific in his nuances: this is to keep you safe. The rest of the staff follow in this manner and I have not seen any injuries that were as a result of poor form, too heavy weight, or bad movements. The facility itself is huge: rubber matting throughout and bumper plates, so you can lift heavy if you want and drop plates as needed. The rig is huge, you can get about 30 people on there at one time in various heights. All rig legs are set up to receive j-hooks for squats, etc. There is a new room in the back for RevFitness and ROM wods. Plenty of storage and bathroom space. Good atmosphere overall. read more

I have nothing negative to say about Wolverine Strength and conditioning. The atmosphere here is very inviting and comfortable. Everyone is friendly and there isnt a feeling of " I am better or stronger then you". The coaching is top notch.

I look up to them and highly recommend you give them an try!!! read more
