Libby came highly recommended to me as a personal trainer. She is patient, efficient, and smart. I have already seen results and it has only been a month. read more

Avoid this gym and scott genord. He is okay with his pitbull biting patrons. Scott Genord, the gym owner, prioritizes his dog over people's safety. He allows his unleashed pitbull to freely roam in the gym, resulting in a severe dog bite that caused a laceration and bleeding through my pants. At first, he tried downplaying the significance of a dog bite. When I requested him to leash the dog or keep it in a separate room during the class, he refused and told me I could leave instead. I confronted him about prioritizing his dog over the safety of his clients, and he openly admitted to doing so, even telling me to leave. I have taken legal action against him, but it appears that he has filed for bankruptcy. I am not surprised. read more

Nice facility, good equipment, and knowledgeable trainers. I attend the group training classes which are pretty fun.

Facility itself is nice, but the owner Scott Genord is extremely arrogant and will completely ignore you if you don't have a perfect fitness/model body. I will NEVER return to this awful, unwelcoming place. I left in tears by the way the owner and several female members of his staff treated me. Horrible place. I would not recommend. read more

This gym is great! It has everything you'd need do your workout. With Olympic lifting plates, a couple of platforms, and some adjustable benches, you can crush the big three lifts. They also have heavy kettlebells and other specialty equipment. It gets pretty crowded when classes are going on. Nearly perfect because the hours kinda suck read more

I walked into this gym hoping to work out in a good environment and unfortunately the owner was rude and uptight, I observed another customer getting mistreated and this other customer happen to be a person with special needs. I don't recommend this place. read more

After leaving my old gym, I was pleasantly surprised to find Pulse Fitness. They have a large facility with a wide array of equipment and all the amenities. Pulse also has a large variety of classes that they offer throughout the day. From HIIT to strength to core to boxing and others - I have not taken a class that I did not like. All of the staff and instructors are top notch - friendly, knowledgeable, helpful and motivating. This facility really has it all - even a shake bar! ;) I'm so glad that I found this hidden gem of a gym :) Definitely the best gym in the area! read more

Came in after trying to find a newer gym near the Royal oak area. Met with Liz. So sweet. The gym is huge. Equipment looks newer and it isn't crowded. Good class offerings and I love the shake bar. They have some really yummy shakes. Everyone is friendly. I will be trying the personal training sessions soon. Will post update read more

Love going to their workout classes here! everyone is so nice and welcoming and I have been treated so well since I started coming here. Be sure to introduce yourself to everyone because it is a great gym community :) read more

Really cool hidden gym, conveniently located by Royal Oak. I came to check out Jill's kickboxing class, which was awesome. I had no idea how huge this gym is. It also is clean and modern looking inside. I will definitely come back! Also, I believe it's on Classpass which is great to know! read more

I absolutely love Pulse Fitness. It is the absolute best gym in Metro Detroit. Not only is it huge, ridiculously clean, The craziest/newest/ cutting edge equipment but has the best trainers. My favs: Kaila - brings so much energy to her spin classes that I am pumped up an entire day after spending 30 minutes with her. Tracie - motivates me even when I'm not at the gym. Not only is she a kick ass instructor but leads by example and pushes me to be the best person I can be both physically and mentally. I literally cannot get enough of Pulse Fitness! read more

I have lived all over the country and out of the country, done all the trending workouts, and fitness studios, but Pulse is by far the best gym and fitness experience that's out there. It's like joining a family and community! The staff is amazing, the gym is massive with all brand new equipment, the trainers are top notch. It honestly will not disappoint, and is the highlight of my day. It's also a great place to meet like minded attractive people who are into fitness and wellness. It's the place to be! read more

Best gym in the area. They have plenty of equipment, offer a huge variety of classes that are always high energy and effective. Love the variety from HIIT to spin to boxing and core and strength classes - really have it all. Trainers are all great at developing plans and helping you meet your goals. Very knowledgeable team and they always want you to succeed! The front desk staff is super friendly and they always greet you upon arrival and wish you a nice day when you leave. Really the best front desk I've ever encountered. Bonus: the smoothie bar after a long workout is a great feature! read more

Really great facility with all the amenities! They have showers and towels and a smoothie bar. Really great classes!

Pulse Fitness sets the bar for personal training gyms. Not only is it clean and beautiful but the stimulating environment invites a great workout. Scott and his crew are outstanding and motivating which is what we all need sometimes to get us moving. They are always offering a large variety of classes and changing up the routine keeping it interesting and giving your body what it needs individually to be the best it can be. Love this gym. read more

I trained with Scott for a year or two before he opened Pulse. When I first started training I weighed 277 pounds. I had zero confidence and little hope. At times I felt Scott believed in me more than I did myself. After a year of working with him, I didn't just lose 103 lbs, I lost my need for blood pressure medicine and an inhaler. More importantly, I gained self confidence, and can run for an hour without taking a break. Since the opening of Pulse Fitness, I have seen my fitness level increase. I have gained more muscle and energy through a combination of group and individual training. I have worked with each of his trainers and have always been happy with my workouts. Scott and Jen do an amazing job of hiring only those trainers who are energetic and passionate about their work. If there ever was a "Cheers" of the fitness industry, Pulse is it. Within a few weeks of working out here, trainers and clients alike will know your name and welcome you each time you come in. The staff genuinely cares about you fitness goals. You'll feel right at home from the first minute you join. Because of this, I look forward to working out everyday. read more

I absolutely love working out at Pulse! I started with a class package. It was great to try a few different classes with my package. Once Pulse moved into their new place I decide to try their unlimited membership (unlimited classes and open gym). So far this has been an awesome choice! The classes they are offering are amazing. All very unique and different from one another. The instructor are amazing!!! I have yet to meet one who isn't friendly, nice, and funny! Everyone at Pulse is always open for suggestions and for making it a better environment to workout in! My only complaint is that the membership is higher then it's competitors. This makes it a little harder for some people to join. Even some of the nicest gyms I've belonged to aren't as expensive. I do think I've been getting my money out of my experience and would highly recommend trying Pulse if you haven't before. Their new space is absolutely amazing!!!!!!! Can't wait to keep working out at Pulse Fitness! read more

This place is my HOME! The clients and the trainers are so outgoing, I've made so many new friends. I have been a member at several other group fitness gyms in the area and none of them compare to pulse. Think of Pulse as like all of the gyms in your area, combined! Pulse offers indoor cycling, personal training, boxing, open gym, strength classes and so much more. I love the versatility and outdoor workouts. Give Pulse a try, you won't regret it. read more

Great Barr class fun. The instructor was good however could have come around more to make sure we were doing it correctly, she seemed a bit into her own workout rather than teaching the class. She was still nice and gave a good routine. The concept of a gym with classes and instructors but no membership fees is nice. I enjoy the weekend classes and the fact you can sign up online for them. read more

Such an amazing gym!!! Clean and brand new!! All the best equipment! Can't get enough!

I've been attending classes here for a while and figured I should post a review. I love this place, the class schedule is great: 2 or 3 in the morning and 2 or 3 at night so there's always an available class for me. They are never boring or redundant. The instructors utilize pretty much every room and piece of equipment in the gym, including outside during the summer. The result is a great workout that's tough but fun and goes by quickly! The staff is very knowledgeable and even in group classes I feel like I'm in a personal training session with all of the one on one advice they offer. I've been working out for nearly 20 years but I've learned so much more since starting here. I love the location in Royal Oak too. It's fun to hit a workout then go out on the town after. I'll be sticking with this place! read more

This is the best gym I've ever belonged to. They have a very low turnover in trainers which already says something very positive about Pulse. I've always been happy with anyone I've trained with, they've always been able to get more out of me than I thought I could do. They do this with encouragement and a smile, especially Scott and Eric. It truly is a judgement-free Zone. I do both one-on-one training and classes at both locations. Danielle and Tracey have the best classes either in downtown Detroit or in Royal Oak. There's a bonus if you go to the Royal Oak location where you'll often be greeted by two friendly dogs! I just read Katie P's review and I would like to note that I think the pricing for the trainers is reasonable based on what I have paid in the past. They often have specials so I buy packages which helps a lot. Also, I am pushing 60 and have never enjoyed sports, which is to say I have never been in shape but I try and they know it. In her classes, Danielle always offers a modification very tactfully so that I can still exercise even though I cannot possibly keep up with the "hot bods." Also, I've never felt any sales pressure to buy anything and I get to the location about ten minutes early to warm up on my time. read more

This gym is awesome!! I've gone at peak times and it's never too busy. The only thing is that they keep the iron ridge location uncomfortably warm (like 74ish, might just be uncomfortable to me...) read more

Been training there for a few months now and love it! Just extended my training sessions too. I was always into working out and got into a frump. They helped me gain my strength, stability, coordination and flexibility back. I love that I don't just go in and get a workout and leave. If I want advice on my food plan or what to do on the days I'm not training with them, they are enthused to help me out. As knowledgeable as you think you are with health and fitness it's always good to get advice for yourself. Sometimes you forget and fall short, and with the right people you gain more. read more

I'm just finishing up my first month at Pulse and I love it! I used to do strictly crossfit but got tired of it and all the injuries that came along with it so I decided to try this place out so I could mix it up a little more. The classes are tough but not so tough that I feel like I'm going to keel over and die, and you can make it as hard or easy for yourself as you want. Their trainers are great and super attentive, making sure I don't further injure myself. I'm not good at coming up with training routines for myself so their class selection is perfect for targeting muscle groups, but mixing up the routine every week. Another cool thing is the bar they have up front where you can get a drink or protein shake and it's just charged to your account at the end of the month! All of this plus the fact that membership is good for their Detroit location as well will keep me here as long as I live in Ferndale :) read more

Pulse fitness has everything you could possibly be looking for. From awesome classes to killer group training sessions, to one on one training. I have worked out with various trainers over the years, and have never experienced the knowledge and dedication to each individual as I have with Scott and his team. No matter what your fitness goals are, they will ensure that you reach them!!! Pulse ROCKS, and it will ROCK YOU!!!! read more
