Liberty Athletic club is more expensive than most if not all other gyms in Ann Arbor, but I find it…read moreworthwhile, especially for families. The decor looks a bit dated compared to say the newly constructed L.A fitness - but the facilities are quite comprehensive - I use the strength training facilities, my partner makes use of the included fitness classes, and my kids love the indoor play area and pool, and great outdoor pool / recreation area during the summer. Great place to host birthday parties too. Hard to find this combo anywhere else. I also find that Liberty being independently owned leads to better service than I experienced at L.A Fitness and Planet fitness - the people who work at Liberty have often times been around for years and seem to care more. If you are a solo adult, the extra cost might be harder to justify. But for our family, this is hands down the best fitness club in Ann Arbor.

My husband and I have been members of Liberty Athletic Club for the last year and I have nothing…read morebut great experiences so far. In the last year they've been renovating quite a bit to update the spaces, equipment, etc, which has helped the overall vibe. They started by painting and reflooring the main workout room and are currently renovating and updating the indoor lap pool and hot tubs/saunas. The locker rooms are clean and the lockers are easy to use. The workout equipment is in great condition and even during their busiest times it's easy to get a treadmill or a bike. Plenty of TVs and things to keep you occupied with as well as you're huffing and puffing along. They have a few rooms for specialized classes--group fitness, spin and yoga. Now, I've only done the yoga classes so I can't comment on the others but the yoga classes I've attended were good (restorative yoga). I've always felt a million times better coming out than when I went in. There's a lot to do for families too. With a big kid's complex with a play area, rock climbing wall and indoor water park for fun during the winter months (also open in the summer). The outdoor complex is awesome and open Memorial to Labor Days. To be honest, this was the selling point for me. They have a few lap lanes for adult swimming (yes there are only two but I never had a problem getting a lap of my own this summer and I went several times a week) a bigger "play" area in that pool for the older kids/teens, and a splash/smaller pool for kids with a nice water slide. The outdoor cafe area has beverages, smoothies, frozen yogurt, and a few hot items for lunching. There's a small playground and even a few holes of mini golf in the complex as well. Plus outdoor tennis courts, of course. The club is big on tennis and they have a ton of courts inside as well. Plus classes, teams, and more. I feel like there's always a tennis club gathering when I'm there. There's a small indoor cafe as well with snacks, water, smoothies and such. They close around 7:30pm every day so it's more for lunch or a post-work pick me up before your workout. They have a small spa area upstairs with pedicures and massages. When you join you get a coupon for either or so I booked one and splurged on another. Great solitary environment. I had a beautiful pedicure and one of the best massages I've ever had. It's just a little pricey to do often, but if I could I would. It's definitely not a cheap membership, but I get a generous stipend from work for a fitness membership which covers most of the cost. If not for this I'm not sure I could swing it. But since I can, I try and make the most of my membership.

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.

I've been lifting weights since 2012 and compete regularly when I am able. I recently moved to the…read morearea from California and was looking for a gym that focuses more on strength-based sports like Powerlifting and Olympic Weightlifting without all of the extras. Forged is relatively small and has a simple set up, but it has everything you will ever need as a strength athlete. Olympic platforms, a full rack, powerlifting and oly bars, kettlebells, free weights, rowing machines, KG and LB plates, etc. They have daily workouts posted that you can do or you can do your own programming. They also have classes you can take including how to lift weights for beginners and a crossfit-type HIIT workout. My favorite part is this gym gives you 24/7 access so you can go at any time. They have a full bathroom with a shower. As someone who tends to lift weights later on at night, i know i can take my time and not rush through my workout to leave because the gym closes too early. If you're a super early riser, this gym will work for you too. I appreciate how friendly and welcoming the space is. I'm a queer woman and am often wary of perceived "bro culture" in gyms. This gym is woman-owned and operated, which means it's absolutely NOT a bro culture-friendly place or intimidating in the slightest. I've even brought my dog in a couple of times. This is a place for everyone - whether you're just starting out and want to learn how to lift or if you're a seasoned strength athlete who needs a spot to work out, you are welcome here. However, don't expect this to be priced similarly to Planet Fitness or a gym like PF. You get full programming and access to knowledgeable coaches during coached times so it's priced accordingly ($115 for a full membership). You get what you pay for and Forged is 100% worth the money.

Forged Barbell is the exception to the rule, and so much more!

It was incredibly frustrating. Despite repeated emails and phone calls, Title continued to charge me monthly.
