I was a member of MVP Holland gym for a year before joining them as a lifeguard. From the start I loved the personal touches - Eucalyptus infused towels. Like my colleagues, I know almost every guest by first name. I get to look after closing the pool weekdays. I also have the pleasure of teaching swimming lessons for 3 month olds to adults. The building is a bit dated, but the locker rooms are new. I love the whirlpool, myself. It's helpful to have that and the dry sauna for recovery time after working out or spin class. There is an intimacy that you don't get at other local gyms. read more

I feel the need to preface this review with the fact that I was prepared to sign up for a membership today. I was paying $150/mo for my gyms in Tampa so your $85 with my company discount doesn't scare me. At all. I was prepared to sign a membership and grab a personal training package because being a Covid nurse has really thrown my fitness into a downward spiral and I've been trying to recoup on my own since I've moved to Holland. I have no qualms about prioritizing my fitness and I really enjoy the accountability of having a trainer, plus they have group fitness classes and I sure do love me some group training (ex Burn Bootcamp member. Someone please open a Burn in Holland. Please!) So I go in. The dude that checked me in was nice enough. I told him I signed up for a day pass. He said okay and enjoy your workout. Like OBVIOUSLY it's my very first time here. There are multiple floors and rooms to this place so I was pretty shocked when I asked where everything was that nobody offered me a tour. He just said "the locker room is downstairs" okay bro. Whatever. Needless to say that the indifference was noted and I'll be bringing it back to my work peers. Just because we get a corporate discount doesn't mean it's worth using. They have a great variety of equipment and different rooms, classes, etc but they have no interest in customer service. Holland people: DM me your favorite gym and why! I have a throwaway membership at PF for the time being and THEY'RE even nicer than MVP was and I'm seriously only paying $10 like wth. read more

MVP Athletic Club - Trainers Near Me - Holland, Michigan

Let me first just say that everybody chooses different gyms for a laundry list of reasons. The biggest reason I chose MVP Holland was because of the lap pool. I used to swim competitively and so I enjoy dropping in for some laps. If you are a swimmer, beware that they keep their pool at 84 degrees. Overall this is an incredibly nice gym. The machines and facilities are very well maintained, the staff is very very friendly and they have a lot to offer from a class stand point (FYI: group classes are free with membership). Now all of this comes at a price. A big one at that. I get a discount through my job but I believe standard one person membership is $73/month. Not many can afford this. And the staff will admit that corporate will sometimes raise the rates though I am not sure how much and how often. If you're a mom that needs to get her workout on look no further. There is a free kids zone where you can drop your kids off and they will be under supervision from the MVP staff. This I find to be a great perk. I love it here and would refer to friends in a heartbeat. But that price might make them skip one. I'd say use the 3 day pass and see if you think it's worth it. read more

MVP Athletic Club - Trainers Near Me - Holland, Michigan

Stopped by while visiting from out of town. A large facility that has been long lasting. Used to be owned by Prince corporation for their employees until they sold out . Tried a yoga class, which easy to moderate level. A sub stepped in last minute so it was a mix of yoga and Pilates. I may have been the youngest one there , but it still got me sweating a bit! read more

I purchased a package of 5 sessions with a personal trainer, but before I could use them, I injured my back and was in physical therapy. Then covid hit and I have close family with cancer, so I froze my membership. When I called today to reactivate my membership and schedule some training sessions I was told that they expired. No one told me these would expire and now I am out of pocket $180. Not good. They said they "extended" the expiration date due to covid, but that has also passed. I will keep my membership as my insurance covers the cost, but beware of any other costs and read the fine print. I'm very disgusted with this. UPDATE; I spoke to a manager and they have reinstated the training sessions. They expire after 6 months so they will activate when I am ready. read more

The club offers a wide variety of classes from early morning to evening. The instructors are motivating and try to make the classes fun. People of all ages and fitness level were accepted and encouraged. I've been attending for a while and find it a good place to work out. read more

Update 4-8-16: I've been a member here now for almost 2 months and since I've had a chance to observe the staff and get more familiar with what they have to offer I now feel comfortable upgrading my rating to a 5 star review. While I haven't chosen to utilize the service of paying extra for one on one time with a personal trainer I have talked to a few of them and even though I'm not utilizing their services they have all been very friendly and encouraging. The best part is they've resisted the urge to try and use any high pressure sales techniques to get me to book one on one time with them. If they had used any high pressure sales pitches on me my ratings would have dropped dramatically instead of gone up to a 5 star rating. So kudos for that since that's such a big thing in my opinion. I only have 2 things i wish were different here. The first I'm sure most people would not agree with me on so I understand they can't make 99% of the people unhappy just to make me happy. The thing I'm talking about is the temperature here in my opinion is too warm. I know I overheat easier than most, but when you look around and everybody is drenched in sweat it seems like they could lower the temp inside by about 3 or 4 degrees and nobody would even notice it. Well, those that are hyper sensitive to cooler temps might object to it, but I doubt if the great majority would. Yes, it would still be too warm for me, but at least it wouldn't be as uncomfortable. With this big of a facility they probably could also save a fair amount of money on their utilities each month if they turned the heat down just a touch in the cooler months. The other thing I wish was different here is that on Sundays they don't open until 10 a.m. and personally I'd prefer they open at 7 a.m. like on Saturdays. On the weekdays they open at 5 a.m. which I love since that means I can get my workout done by 7:30 a.m. Again, I know this is just my preference and they've been doing this much longer than I've been coming to a gym so I'm sure over time they've tested different opening times and obviously the 10 a.m. time must make the most sense from the standpoint of running a profitable business not to mention I imagine their employees appreciate having a couple of days a week where they can sleep in a little later. So yes, I do wish they opened at 7 a.m. on Sundays, but I realize they can't change their business model just for me. Overall I'm very happy with this gym and am looking forward to utilizing it for many years to come. My original review where I discussed my first impression of this gym is below if you feel up to reading another long review. read more

I did the 3 day trial here as I was trying to find a home gym while visiting my parents. Alex showed us around giving us a tour, but didn't take us to the area upstairs where you can do more of the stretching exercises we only saw the instructor led training area where we weren't able to go without supervision. They offer over 130 classes a week. They have an indoor and outdoor pool, racquet ball, basketball court, spinning, yoga classes, and so much more. We took a bootcamp class here, and got to run around the indoor track. The class itself was great, with a variety of exercises. We also got to do some weight lifting on our own, and took a yoga class. The locker room is very spacious and offers a variety of amenities. There are towels are very accessible in locations where you need them. There is a palm scanning reader entrance so there's certainly some exclusivity to being a member, and they have corporate discounts but even still it's kind of pricey. They have an enrollment fee and specials. It's certainly worth checking out if you want a gym that has all the bells and whistles. read more

Very disappointed. We paid for a membership and fee for the month of March 2020 for our son. Because of COVID the gym closed one week after we paid for his membership. When the gym reopened in October 2020, our family was having a very busy year and were not paying attention to the monthly fee we were being charged by MVP which began again in October 2020. Our son never used the gym. I called early November and talked with three staff members, one of which said he would cancel our son's membership and see if we could get our money returned for November. This didn't happen and we were charged for November. I called again and talked with Tyler who said he would take care of everything by canceling our son's membership. So we were charged again for December. I made a visit to MVP and Tyler was not there and did not call me back. We were charged again for January. I still have the phone calls I made to MVP on my cell phone so I really can't understand why our son's membership was never cancelled and why we have been charged for November, December and January! read more

Wonderful facility to get strong at, (or at least attempt to). Nice employees who create a clean and welcome atmosphere.

Sad to see the friendly, family-oriented MAC change to a greedy business like MVP. The customer service does not even come close to what the MAC offered. They will put on a forced smile until you become a member then you are on your own. Don't expect anything from this place. Grand Rapids can't wait for a decent family fitness center to come by. MVP is a sad, greedy business. People getting hurt with their old machines. Kids drowning in their pools every summer right under the nose of their "lifeguards". People getting hurt, falling, bleeding in their facilities and they do nothing about safety. People are realizing that and checking into other options for fitness and family recreation. read more
