Back for an UPDATED REVIEW- 2 years later!!!…read more The Anytime Fitness at Farmington Hills location on 12 mile road owned & run by Matt is by far the BEST gym and best gym experience I've ever had. Even better than Lifetime Fitness. The level of support, accessibility, cleanliness, equipment, hours of operation, atmosphere and environment (I could go on and on) is extremely superb. I have lost over 100 lbs in the past year and I definitely attribute that to this gym and its facilities. I recommend to everyone I know, I've added my own family members and plan to add more when they move here, and I am so pleased with Matt and his team of trainers. Matt's professionalism yet welcoming manner really sets the tone for the whole gym. I was always looking for a gym where I didn't feel like I'm being watched, or waiting forever for machines, and a place that was NOT intimidating. This gym has all that and way more. If you want a life-changing experience, and to really achieve your fitness and lifestyle goals, you should seriously consider Anytime Fitness as your gym-home. This is my go-to place when I'm down and when I'm up! I always walk out feeling way better than when I came in.

I agreed and after a couple months I went to cancel my membership and the person at the front desk tells me that I have to stay for a minimum one year under the basic membership which was not explained to me when I made the switch. I had to pay nearly $100 to pay the remaining months, and to cancel. These gyms are so sneaky and will try to squeeze every penny out of you. Also reasons some of these reviews the exact same scenario is being described by others so it's definitely not an accident they "forget" to tell you about the 1 year requirement.

If you miss a payment, your credit will be affected negatively. If you decide to cancel your membership, they will charge you for another month after you have already canceled. I canceled my membership a couple weeks ago and there was a charge on my account for an additional month and I asked and they said after I had done so they would need to charge me another month because of a 30 day period after. This is one of the worst gyms I've ever been a part of but not due to the facilities, but due to the fact that they will take your money and there is nothing you can do about it. Make sure to read the fine print before signing because they won't explain everything to you.

Thanks to my Aunt De-De and Uncle Warren, I was talked into getting up pretty early last Saturday…read moremorning to meet them for a workout at Art of Strength. I didn't know what to expect other than an intense workout, and that's exactly what I received! The class I attended was split into two smaller groups. One went with Mike and one with Peter. I went with Peter and my workout included cardio (with a stationary bike, rowing machine, ski machine, and jumping jacks), lunges, upper body using a medicine ball and ropes, and a ton of squats. I liked how we kept switching exercises so I didn't get bored at all. I also liked that Peter took into account injuries of those in our group and gave them alternative exercises that were right for their situation... trainers / instructors don't always do that. The folks in Mike's group (including my aunt, uncle, cousin, brother, and a few friends) were all out of breath and dripping sweat by the end of their workout. I could tell that Mike's reputation is to be tough and kind of a smart-ass, but it works. He's a huge motivator for those in the gym. I loved the energy at AOS and I would totally workout here if I lived in Michigan full time. I was a little nervous after the workout that I'd be too sore to stand up at my sister's wedding that evening, but I felt great and had a fabulous time at the wedding... Thanks again to Peter for the workout and to Aunt De-De for motivating me to get my ass to AOS that morning!

No concern for my safety. Just punishment for speaking up. Even after kicking me out, they kept trying to charge my card. It felt like they wanted to silence me while still taking my money. No one should be treated this way. If you care about your safety, your dignity, or basic respect, think twice before coming here.

They care about making money and do not care about their customers. This club has extremely bad business practices and the worst customer service I have ever seen in my life. When I signed this contract I was under the impression that it was a month to month contract and could cancel at any time (which they explicitly said). What they don't tell you is that you have to have a medical reason, you moved, or joining the military. I NEVER saw this contract until I was trying to cancel. I would have never signed a year contract and never in my life had a gym put me in a year contract. Also, you are paying 2 annual memberships a year. They have the second annual fee being charged the month before the end of my contract. They will not do anything to try to waive the second annual fee even if you are non renewing. If I could give this business negative stars I would.

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!
