Nice clean gym. Nice equipment too. Only drawback, it's a little small. Lots of equipment crammed into a little space.

I paid for an annual membership during July and in August I found out that I had to move to a different state. I tried talking to the owner to get a refund back for the months that I won’t be using their fitness, but he wasn’t helpful at all. They told me that it’s impossible to refund my money back. Am very unhappy with my experience at this fitness and I don’t recommend it to anyone.

Spending 3 days in Detroit, looking for a gym equipped for a b.b. w.o, this was perfect. Good size, with every machine for leg/shoulder, back/bicep, chest/ tricep. Lots of cardio equipment including step climbers. Charlie keeps the place spotless. JUST right for a good work out. $10 a day charge. Loved it!!

Excellent gym with plenty of weight equipment. Dumbbell sets up to 200 lbs and real iron weights throughout. Was in here early on a weekend and it was not crowded but could see it getting packed during peak hours.Looking forward to my next visit to family in the area to workout here again.
