Powerhouse West Bloomfield does seem to be the best gym in our area…read more It's very clean. They have a pool. Lots of machines in a wide variety of choices including 2 NuSteps. Lots of space. If you've never been inside, it's deceptively small looking from outside the building and hugely spacious inside. They offer a lot of classes. Way too many tv's. Be prepared for noise and bring your own sound canceling earphones if that's an issue for you. It's a BIG gym. It has decent accessibility. The few changing rooms offered are BIG and have benches and grab bars which are really helpful if you've got accessibility challenges that make dressing difficult. The pool entrance has ladders, entrance steps, and a seat that can lower you into the pool. The women's only workout room is upstairs, just warning you, and there's no way to get there aside from walking up a flight of stairs, so I haven't seen it. What I don't like: The 3-lane pool feels small and most often has 5+ people in it even when I go between noon & 2pm, their slowest time of the day. I'm not sure the lanes are actually normal length or shorter, or maybe I'm just thrown off because the lanes are narrower than other lap pools I've used (I can't normally touch the lane dividers with both hands while swimming elementary backstroke, for example, but I do at this pool) and the pool is shallow - you can touch everywhere. This makes it great for people who can't swim because they can walk. But with all the pool walkers and the narrow lanes, it's hard to really lap swim because lane sharing is extra challenging, and there's nowhere deep enough to tread water. WEIRD bathrooms! The toilet stalls are made of frosted glass. I'm not sure if they designed that way to match the shower stalls or to discourage people from changing in bathroom stalls, but... there's not as much privacy as any other public bathroom I've ever seen. You can see which stalls are full/empty at a glance and whether the person in the stall is leaning forward to wipe, sitting, or standing. It's also quite a walk to get from the workout area to the bathrooms, which are back by the pool. They don't list their prices anywhere, and the way they always have some special deal going that's about to end soon just seems like a weird sales ploy. You can't find out the price without giving your info. Even if you go in person and ask, they have this whole song and dance where they list a higher price and cross it off and give you this "special limited time offer." I originally went to signup due to an advertised rate of $25/month for college students with ID, which I saw advertised on Facebook, but was told there was no such rate when I arrived in person. I kind of get the feeling that they pay their sales team on commission based on how high of a rate they can talk the customer into paying each month. Plus there's also a signup fee and an annual fee in addition to the monthly fee. I'm ok with all of that, I just wish they wouldn't deceptively advertise, and that they were more up front with their pricing. The sales team is uhh... thorough? Excellent at followup? They WILL call and email frequently but they stopped as soon as I asked them to - so be upfront with them! I do wish the guest passes for the higher membership could be used by guests without them scheduling the visit and having to wait for someone from sales to talk to them before and after each visit. Also, the sign in the building says guests should be new one-time visitors, but a salesperson told me over the phone that you can have the same guest come use all 4 guest passes as long as they fill out the paperwork with every visit. Not sure which is accurate, but I felt a little embarrassed to be told one thing and show up and see otherwise.

I've been a member since 2019 and just canceled mostly due to lack of communication and…read moretransparency. They sent an email to me in February 2024 stating "As we strive to provide you with the best facilities, equipment, and services, we occasionally need to adjust our rates. We are writing to inform you about a modest increase in our annual membership fee. Beginning March there will be a $10 increase to your annual fee. Your monthly dues will remain the same and will not be increased." Which was false-- my monthly membership increased by 6.95%. At a glance, that amount was not noticeable, like a tick sucking my blood. Then I was out of town not using my gym service for several months to come to find out it was put on hold and my membership was further increased by another 10.42%. So from my agreed membership fee at the time of contract signing, I'm paying more in annual 'maintenance' fees AND 16.67% more in monthly fees and not getting any more value out of the gym so I'm cutting my loss here. The thing I have the most gripe about is that it feels like it was done under my nose because 99% of the emails I receive from Powerhouse Gym are spam about sweepstakes and the Powerhouse App. If you still insist on making this your gym, carefully read your contract as it does state that they will increase your gym memberships without your consent or notice.

This Planet fitness is a really great facility. I've been a member of many different gyms and this one is by far one of the better kept facilities. All of the machines were clean & didn't have any signs of wear. The fitness equipment, tanning beds, and even massage devices were all in good working order. The locker room and restrooms were clean and comfortable. Another notable positive for this gym was the friendly and helpful staff. Every person that we spoke with was helpful and seemed genuinely interested in helping us and answering my questions. We are very happy that we decided to become members at this Planet Fitness location & look forward to routinely visiting. 08/25

They'll work with you to help you achieve your goals, and adjust your workouts as those goals change and evolve. When I started with them, I wanted to lose weight. Then I wanted to build strength and do push-ups and pull-ups and more. Then I wanted to learn to run. Then I wanted to build endurance for half marathons. Then marathons. You get the idea. Reid, my personal trainer, has been there every step of the way. They push me to get stronger, but also know when I need to slow down or take a step back to recover. I definitely recommend motiv8 fitness if you want one on one attention to crush your fitness goals.

It really is a great place to get a great workout in. I love all the trainers, (Chris, Sarah, and Reid) they are all so motivational, supporting, knowledgeable, and just fun people. The class size wasn't too big or small, and we all supported each other. I loved going to the evening classes and early Saturday morning. In my short period at Motiv8 I lost 1.8lbs, but more importantly I LOST 1.2% OF BODY FAT! That is a great feeling, also that I can now do 15 pushups before burning out - when I started I could only do 10! When the new year hits, I'll be joining! You should come join with me!

Buyer beware. I had been a client at Fitness 19 in Commerce since 2008. In 2013 I began working…read morewith a personal trainer. We trained until Summer of 2015 when she was fired. I had asked for my money back, but was told they would not do that, but I could train with someone else. My trainer was the first I ever had and I didn't feel comfortable training with anyone else, so I took time away from the gym and in that time another manager was fired and a new one came in. When I finally decided I would use my remaining sessions with another trainer I was informed they had no record of my contract. I told them I could bring in my bank statement, show them my text messages with the old trainer. I asked them to call her or the manager at the time she was fired and they refused. They offered me a "discount" but I had paid $500 for my 20 sessions and had a minimum of 15 left. My trainer and I often went contract to contract and in this instance I wasn't given a copy, but I wasn't worried about it because I certainly wasn't expecting her to be fired. This was the lesson learned on my part. In January I filed a civil suit asking for $375 (15 sessions worth). My trial was today, March 3rd, and I brought everything I offered to show Fitness 19 to prove my contract before filing, including my former trainer and easily won. They brought with them a contract I had from 2013 to try and show I know their "policies" about having 6 months to use my sessions, yet the claimed they had no record of my contract existing. Come to find out someone instructed the employees at this gym to take my trainer's contracts out of the gym a bit after she was fired. My trainer has other clients who are going through the same thing, but I was the first one who took it to court. I would advise you not to be a member at this particular location, if you do choose to and ever want a trainer have your attorney present before you do anything. They have no problem taking advantage of their members and bank on the fact no one will do anything about. I am now a very satisfied member at Planet Fitness across the street.
