I'm not like every other person who joins a gym in January because of New Year's Resolutions. Nope, I joined because I have an important event in a couple months and I need to get my butt in gear (literally)! I had thought I would join potentially for the weight loss benefits of going to the gym regularly, but had overlooked the benefit of endurance, both physically and mentally because being around people you may not want to be around is a special kind of endurance! I'm going to a conference out of state. Instead of loud drunk adults, this place has loud children and instead of walking for miles, seemingly in circles, you get to dance them in circles or step them or Aqua Zumba them. In any case, I feel like I'll be fit on all levels in time for my event. I had actually considered NC a couple years ago but wasn't fully sold at the time. Recently, I gave it another look and I think they have improved their website and now have an app. In addition, the membership options seem easier to understand and they have added an InScan / Body Scan machine that's free for members. That alone is worth the price of admission. It will tell you in excruciating detail how unfit you are but, hey, hopefully, you can only improve! Members can scan as much as they want but obviously, once a month is the most you should do to actually establish a trend. On membership, I opted for the month to month no contact one: $71 and no initiation fee. While that may seem high, I really need classes to feel engaged and motivated and most classes, even on Class Pass are around $20 to $25 a class, so if I go to one class a week at NC, I'm already ahead! One neat thing, the monthly pass just runs 30 days then deactivates. If you try to scan your card, it makes a noise and the staff will charge you to re-up for the next 30 days. For someone that has gotten burned on gym contacts more than I care to recall, the fact that this just expires is such a benefit to me. One less thing to worry about. You can also get the monthly membership and family and all kinds of flavors with different costs and contracts but for me, this was the perfect option. I mentioned classes and man, they have a ton: dance, Pilates, step, yoga, spin, Aqua Zumba, and they even have sports like drop-in pickleball! I've already taken a couple classes and really enjoy them. They have the app and you can add a class to your calendar from the app. You can't sign up for a class through the app though but hopefully that's in the works. You can also check into the gym with the app or with your keychain card, so that's handy. They have various lectures and courses and competitions which I'm looking forward to participating in as well. Also, they have a water bottle refill station which is great. No juice bar or anything but very close to a ton of places to quickly undo whatever you just did at the gym. Now for the neutrals and negatives: Yes, the bathrooms are old but I don't find them to be dirty or slippery or whatever some reviewers have said. They have lockers but bring your own lock and they are just day lockers. Half the time, I don't need a locker so it's not a huge deal for me but YMMV. Parking can be tricky. Free on the street if you can find it otherwise, pay with the Passport app to park in the lot. Children. It's weird if you're used to only going to gyms where it's adults only and also mostly going places where it's adults only. They are only allowed in the classes for them I think so there's that (I wish the app would let you filter those out because they have some kids classes I might want to take them you click in and see the age limits. Maybe I want to take "Creative Dance" or "Fit and Fun"). Overall, I'm already very happy with this choice and may very well convert my monthly membership to a contract. Eventually. Maybe... read more

Neighborhood Club - Example of community lectures. - Recreation Centers Near Me - Grosse Pointe, Michigan

We absolutely LOVE the Neighborhood Club and highly recommend them! My daughter does swimming lessons, tennis, soccer, yoga and more there. We love the NC Fit club for the kids in the fall/winter/spring and all the cool classes she can do after school. They have a great indoor pool, workout area, and lots of fun classes for every age. We love the family night where we go and swim, do arts and crafts, and more fun things. The staff is so helpful, friendly, and great at what they do. We love coming here and it's such a nice place for the kids and adults alike! read more

Nice facility, but the bathrooms are lacking. They have a dingy feel to them and are slippery. Beware after a water class when the floors are wet (management was made aware and nothing changed). Oh, and there are only 2 showers in the women's locker room. Crazy Apparently the Neighborhood Club doesn't pay their instructors well and my favorite instructor left because of it. I've tried classes by other instructors and for some reason or another didn't go back to those classes. Biggest reason was that I was afraid of getting injured. read more

Have been a member since it remodeled, it is one of the very best additions to the area. Always clean, respectful staff and wonderful classes. Work out area Busy in the early part of the day, not as busy in the afternoon, which is great for using equipment. Shout out to all the folks who give personal instruction! Lately I've needed to use the Beaumont Physical Therapy area. Wonderfull, knowledgeable and accomodating folks who are extremely knowledgeable, and also have their Doctorate in PT! Won't be going anywhere else if I need it. They even showed me how to use some of the work out equipment in the gym for when I've finished my PT program! Check out the various programs offered! read more

I wanted to like this club. I miss my old gym so much but this wasn't a good fit for us. If better connected to the community it may be a more positive experience. read more

Daughter goes to an office there and we have used the neighborhood club facility a few times now, we love it!!!!! Such a nice clean environment and something for everyone to do. read more

My family joined the Neighborhood Club nearly a year ago, largely because it's the closest gym with a good pool and my daughter really enjoys taking swim lessons here. All of her swim instructors have been awesome!! I have NO complaints on that front! The price for lessons is fair and the pool is well staffed, safe, and a great environment. The building is super clean and well maintained. However, we've been coming here nearly a year and the staff outside of the pool area are just horrible to deal with. I've been sneered at by the front desk ladies more times than I can count. I'm normally a bit of a gym rat and I actively avoid going here unless I have no other way to get a workout in. Would not recommend for anything other than kids' swim lessons. read more

Seems like the Neighborhood Club started out as class act. However, it is on a slipperly slope to becoming a club with lowering and lowering standards. Try asking an attendant to enforce rules. Good luck! read more

Zero stars for Becky Caulfield the group fitness manager. She is rude, unhelpful, and knows absolutely nothing about what makes a good spin or CrossFit instructor. When you try to approach Becky it is like facing a cement roadblock. She's not interested in improvements or recommendations. One star for the CrossFit room in the basement. It is ridiculously small. There is often so many people (25+) in this itty-bitty dark space that people find themselves fighting for space, weights, and mats. In order to secure a mat, you need to arrive 20-25 minutes early! Ridiculous. The Neighborhood Club should either limit the number to less than 20 individuals or expand into a larger space for CrossFit. Five stars for convenience, price, and cleanliness. And we actually like the people at the front desk. read more

The Neighborhood Club is a clean facility with updated machines. Of course there aren't as many treadmills as at a big box gym, but 13ish are plenty for me. There are a ton of classes to choose from (yoga, HIIT, TRX, boot camp, Zumba, etc.) for people at all levels of fitness and the instructors are great. Another review mentioned the room on the lower level not being big enough for CrossFit and the fitness manager knowing nothing about what makes a good CrossFit instructor. Well, they don't offer CrossFit, so I think that makes sense. The facility draws people of all ages (high schoolers to 90-year-olds) and fitness levels, so there's no gym bro mentality or "gymtimidation." If your idea of a good workout is loud grunting and throwing weights around, this may not be the gym for you. If you want to swim laps or do an exercise class in a warm pool, have your choice of 70+ fitness classes, or work out in a well-maintained environment, go for a tour and see what you think. read more

Great gym extremely clean with a lot of good equipment. But be aware of the rude trainer Michael; he gives off negative vibes and is under the misconception that the Neighborhood Club belongs to him. read more

This a great workout place, and it also caters to a wide variety of ages, fitness levels, activity types, etc., making it kind of a community asset. They're got the usual; free weights, strength equipment, treadmills, bikes, rowing machines, etc. And they've also got a pool, yoga studio, aerobic rooms, and more. Spotless, with everything in its place, and the staff here are polite and helpful. With winter just around the corner, I'd imagine I will be here a lot more in the future. read more

This gym is insanely awesome! Great staff that is very helpful and actively involved all of the time! This place is ever evolving and the classes will never bore you! The equipment is well maintained and the overall facility is tip top! The price is also very fair by comparison of other big gyms. And if you are looking for a preschool you won't be disappointed with the teachers or anything the Neighborhood has to offer! read more

For what this place charges, they really need to step up their customer service game. No one at the front desk can help other than to answer the phone or say good morning, you get transferred to people who head the departments and call backs take days. This is not helpful when trying to book a class, a makeup class, or plan your schedule. Also, the ladies at the front desk area are quite rude and outdated in their thinking. One made the assumption my tot was enrolling in the "special needs" class when he wasn't, point is- don't make assumptions about people's children! Sorry but there are better places to spend your money. If I'm paying more than the surrounding area, I expect better service. read more

Love Zumba with Fabiola! She makes it so much fun while being tough! This cardio workout is by far the best.
