They have everything that you need, and if you don't see it, you can ask for it (I.e. resistance loops are at the front desk). I've never had an issue with the machines being full or any equipment being used for long periods of time. I went at the end of December and it wasn't too busy. A lot of the people at the gym are in great shape, which may be an important note if that bothers you. It is definetely a "get it done" vibe - you probably won't be chatting with everyone else working out. They have TV's around the screen that displayed other people's heart rate/calories burned. I'm not sure how you get your info on there but it was a cool touch. The gym is bigger than you'd think. They have a whole section with cardio, a section with weights/machines, a cafe, a larger misc. area that had random machines and cycling bikes, a clear room with large mirrors (great for yoga) and a separate room that had CrossFit equipment. It fits the needs of everyone!

There were also multiple machines for lifting and a very open space with a large free weight section! My only gripe was that if you wanted to lock up your items in the locker room, you had to bring your own lock. Overall, the staff was friendly, facility was clean, and it had everything I needed. I'll definitely be back to try out the fitness classes and their open space/ CrossFit section!

Great place.

Oh boy. Where to even begin??…read more I started coming to CF Novi almost 5 months ago and have been completely and utterly blown away by the impact this gym has had on my health and well-being. I had no prior athletic experience when I started coming to CrossFit Novi and when I would go to the gym I wouldn't stray further than the treadmill. The coaches here made me feel 100% comfortable and at home immediatly. They spent a TON of time, care, and attention teaching me the basics and have been great about scaling/customizing the workouts to my level. I cannot stress enough just how great these coaches are. With their help so far I've lost 30 pounds and have gained a tremendous amount of knowledge, strength, & new skills (hoorayyyy wall kick ups and double-unders ). Their patience and possitivity has been outstanding. Other perks - The box is big, beautiful, and super clean, they have showers, & the people who go here are all extremely pleasant. Never thought I would say that I love a gym but I really do love this place!

It's clean, organized and the attention to form was appreciated. I highly recommend.

I've officially been a member since March 2024; still showing up and challenging myself. Initially you will have a period when you look at everyone (comparing yourself) but everyone is SO SUPPORTIVE. All ages, co-ed, showers available, and mini lockers (optional)... wait you have a weird work schedule? So does all the coaches/owner. Lol! Classes available starting at 5am til 6:30pm - about 5 sessions or more and some days you'll have open gym. Bonus - they have physical therapy onsite (appointment only). Just take a look and i promise you'll get hooked.

Small parking lot that you can see once you crossover 696 on Farmington Rd. Before you get to the main trail you pass the restrooms which is not modern at all. Didn't know you could have something that is closer to the outhouses of my rural southern Ohio childhood than normal gas station ones you find up here. Trails are mostly dirt with some wood chips so think ahead before you try to hike after a night of heavy rain. A few other hikers learned the hard way that expensive tennis shoes wont be as nice if you go too far. I had my Keds on but not your grandmother's Keds but water proof ankle high boots Keds. Besides a few slides on a hill, worked wonderful walking thru wet parts. Enough benches and trail markers to let you rest and not get lost, it is a good way to spend an hour or two. I didn't get all the way back to the pond due to the heavy rain night before, I managed to spend an hour enjoying here and remembering the woods I played in as a child. If you have children, get them off their games and out into the sun. Take them to a place they can get dirty and see bugs and butterflies upclose and personal. Just don't let them wear their good shoes or jeans like the mother I saw coming back to the parking lot with muddy kids.

This part of trail was to muddy and steap after the heavy rain.

My 6 year old was a bit fearful of the giant bucket of water that pours on your head at first, although by the end of the 2 hours he was standing under it welcoming it. My 9 year old and his friend jumped right in and couldn't get enough of all the slides and water fun. They were probably some of the older kids there, but still young enough to enjoy the fun. There's also a more babyish area to the side for younger kids who aren't into the slides and giant bucket. They also get 5 stars for cleanliness, including the bathrooms and changing rooms. I had to show out my coffee when we arrived since no food or drink is allowed inside the gate, but that's probably how they manage to keep it so clean. My sons are asking when we can go to Michigan just to go to this again so I can imagine if we were locals we would be there quite a bit.

While growing up, my family belonged to several swim clubs over the years (and I have visited many others for parties and other things) and none come close to CGPA.

Great Events and Kids Activities - Labor Day Party and Fireworks, Campout, Candy Bar Bingo, Dads Cannon Ball Contest, Swim Lessons, Water Aerobics Snack Bar prices are basically at-cost. The only thing about CGPA that could be improved is the pool stairs. They're not built-in and can be a bit difficult for swimmers with mobility issues.

OK this takes some explaining.....If you have ever driven on 696 by Orchard Lake Road there is a walking bridge that goes over the freeway. That now new bridge connects Harrison High Shcool and The Swim Club. The club is secluded in the back of the Kimberley Subdivision behind the elementary school. One nice thing this club does in June is they sponsor the Make-A-Wish Foundation http://www.wish.org/ charity where they have an open club during the day long event and have a bbq, and a silent auction to raise money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. There are quite a few things to do at this club. They have tennis for people of all ages. They have a tennis team that plays against other clubs. There is and adult tennis tournament. They have a swim team that competes in the NSSL swim league against other swim clubs. They have social events, like kids day,adult night, pancake breakfast, family picnic. You may even choose to lay on the lounge chairs and just catch a few rays. This is a private club, but if you are interested call the membership person and get a one day pass and check it out. It's a nice way to spend your summer. The members are friendly. It's worth a one day pass.
