I originally joined the Joust community while in Graduate school from 2014-2015. I was the healthiest, fittest, strongest, and happiest I’d ever been. Life happened after I graduated and I stepped away from Joust. Since then I became the most unhealthy, heaviest, and unhappiest I’d ever been. I tried multiple fitness activities and gyms but nothing ever compared to Joust. I knew what I needed to do but had a tough time finding the motivation and courage to make the lifestyle change until one day I said “enough talking, I’m ready for change”. Joust provides me with the motivation, accountability, knowledge, and community to live a healthier life. Since rejoining Joust 5 months ago I’ve seen/felt tremendous results. I’ve lost 30 pounds, 5 inches in my waistline, and watched my strength increase in multiple areas of fitness (most proud: I went from being able to do 0 to 10 push-ups). I couldn’t have reached this success without the Joust community.

Came in from out of town and just popped in. Ryan was Awesome! He greeted me promptly let me know the lay of the land was very instrumental to make sure I went Along with the class (Since I had never been there before) When I come back to Ann Arbor Joust will definitely be on the list of stops!

I decided to drop-in to a free class at Joust and instantly loved this place. The trainers are kind, friendly, and know their stuff. They look at each person in a group workout individually - scaling the workout if necessary and pushing you so that you are almost always sore but never done so at the expense of form. Further, the fellow gym members at Joust are phenomenal, smart, people at all different fitness levels who are beyond supportive.As a woman who is almost always trying to lose 'just more 5 lbs,' it was so nice joining a place where my focus was completely redirected to learning new skills and getting stronger. I have only been a member for 6 months and am bummed that I am moving states (i.e., leaving Joust), but if you are thinking about joining, I can't recommend this place enough!

I started Crossfit at Joust about a year ago after hearing glowing recommendations from a couple of other members of the gym. I was looking for challenging programming, fun new athletic challenges and a community of dedicated but goofy folks to work out with. Joust has all of the above in spades. I can't imagine finding another gym quite like it. The staff and member community has somehow perfectly struck the balance between intentionally pushing each other to improve every workout, while also keeping a down to earth integrity. I'm sad to be moving out of Ann Arbor, thus leaving the gym and if I come back to visit, I will certainly stop by to say hello to this wonderful group of people.

I've never enjoyed a gym or a community more than I enjoyed Joust. The owner, Ryan, is one of the most genuinely friendly people I've ever met with a knack for building a great culture.The coaches do an incredible job making sure every workout is both appropriate and challenging for you. Their goal is to make Joust "the best hour" of your day. Unless you go 2 or more times in a day, like me.

I started at Joust at a time in my life where I felt really unhappy, unfit and was really nervous about going to any kind of gym. Immediately the coaches made me feel really comfortable and I learned so much and never felt more motivated! Along with great coaches the members of Joust are so welcoming, supportive and fun to be around! Working out use to feel like a chore but with Joust I always looked forward to going and once there you’re surrounded by people who motivate you and push you to do you best.

Joust has helped me maintain a healthy weight and lifestyle over the last 2 years. All of the coaches are STELLAR and help you to scale movements to your ability if needed. What I really like about Joust is that they always emphasize safety …

Joust Strength + Fitness Ann Arbor undoubtedly the best CrosstFit place in town. I have been with Joust for nearly 5 years now.

A special shout out to the coaches who contribute to a strong community along with providing exceptionally good personal care by catering to every physicality.

I started out at Joust in September 2015 after 4 years of mostly dormant lifestyle looking to get fitter. In this time, I have gotten into the best shape and fitness of my life. Joust has great coaches with well rounded background in Crossfit (duh!), Gymnastics, Olympic Weightlifting and general nutrition.The best part of this gym is the community. Collectively known as the Jousters, they come from all kinds of diverse backgrounds, bring great vibes and support each other regardless of where they are in their fitness journey.I highly recommend it!
