Romanelli's has made the biggest difference in my son's life! My son was diagnosed with Aspergers…read morebefore he was 3 and in the first few years of his life he was completely non-verbal. Eventually, with early intervention and lots of behavioural therapy he began thriving. But still, once he was mainstreamed in school and was academically caught up to his peers, we struggled to find something for him to partake in that he not only enjoyed but made him feel like he wasn't different and helped him engage with his peers socially. We tried team sports, boy scouts, and community events but nothing was working. Then we found Romanelli's. From the get go, you could tell this was different. The people here really care about their students, what your goals for them are and their needs. They not only teach physical form, but social skills and life skills. My son has been at Romanelli's less than a year, and already he has benefited more from his time with them than he did in 4 years of behavioural therapy. He engages with others now, he looks us in the eye when he talks, and he communicates his emotions with us. It has given him a moral code as well that he strives to stick to in everything he does. Best of all, he has made friends! He even started at a brand new school about 6 months after starting here and his teacher has said that if I hadn't told her he was on the spectrum, she would have never known. I know I owe so much of that to all of the amazing teachers here. On top of that, because of the relationship he formed with his teachers and peers, he has found something he is truly passionate about. He now loves karate and practices daily and it has taught him to set goals for himself that he truly works to achieve in every aspect of his life. This is no ordinary dojo... I have been through a little bit of karate at a couple other places with my older son as well as so many other sports and organizations with all 3 of my children. The relationship that Romanelli's builds with ALL of their students AND their families is a truly rare thing to find! If your child is interested in martial arts, or even if you are, you will not find a better place than this!

Retrofit is the most underrated, awesome HIIT-style gym in Metro-Detroit. I started going to…read moreRetrofit back in 2017 after moving back to Royal Oak from Los Angeles. Since then, the owner Brad has continued to evolve his gym both in supplies, training style, and employees. They offer affordable 1:1 training as well as group fitness classes that are effective and efficient. As a trainer myself, I love their method of using drop-sets, heavy weights, and functional movement/cardio.

A couple of months ago, I realized that I was tired of overcrowded gyms & getting to exercise…read moreclasses 30 minutes early to fight for a spot. I also realized that it was one more excuse that I didn't need to avoid exercising. A long time ago, I had a really good experience with a Personal Trainer, and decided that was what I needed to do. I came across Retrofit Studio reviews here on Yelp, sort of accidentally. I liked what I read from the reviews & their website. I liked the idea of a private studio too. I called Brad & set up a consultation. There is no doubt that Brad loves what he does & wants every client to be successful. He spent a lot of time listening & talking to me about realistic goals, nutrition, and what to expect. He decided to set me up with Mark, one of his trainers. So far, I have had 8 training sessions with Mark. When Brad said he was a good fit for me, he was right! My sessions are 30 minutes, 2 times a week. By the time I leave, I am a sweaty mess! Mark challenges me, makes sure I have good form, and always encouraging. If I don't do it right, I have to do it again. Every session varies to work different muscle groups, especially the areas that are difficult to target. As hard as he makes me work, I'm never too sore to exercise in between our sessions. That is important to me because I need to do my part outside of our sessions. Mark checks with me regarding my diet and what I'm doing to reach my weight loss goals between our sessions. I always have fun training with Mark even when it's really difficult. The studio itself is great. It's very clean, doesn't smell funky like a lot of gyms (ha!), and a great variety of training techniques & equipment. There are a few cardio machines for client use before or after a session. Every trainer is always encouraging clients, whether it's their client or not. What about results? I started to feel stronger right away and continue to feel that way. I'm steadily losing weight & seeing the jiggle disappear! My muffin top is shrinking! I asked my husband if he noticed any changes. The poor guy looked at me with slight fear of answering the wrong way. ha! I wanted an honest answer. I don't expect fast results, but I am curious if the changes I see are noticeable to others. He said that he has seen a big change. He said I have been a lot happier since I started training with Mark. I wasn't expecting that answer & it made me realize I haven't felt that way about getting in shape (or trying to) in a long time. It sort of made me all verklempt! This is one of the best decisions I've made in a long time!

The instructors Miss Ronni and Mr. Aaron are great people, and they have a strong focus on developing young people. They have some really cool events for the kids and families...movie nights, Halloween party, Christmas party, training in the park, etc. The thing we love the most is their flexible schedule. Our daughter can attend any night that her class is available. We aren't stuck with only 1 ort 2 c lasses, and then have to worry about makeups. She can attend any of the four available nights.

I cannot even put into words how grateful I am for Pilates Connection, but I'll give it a try. I've…read morebeen going here for about 8 years now. I first walked into the studio with several sports injuries and an extremely limited idea of what Pilates even was. The owner, Barb, is truly wonderful, and took the time to ask me about what my fitness goals were, what my current issues were, and where I would like Pilates to take me. Talk about caring- you're not going to get that anywhere else! My formerly problematic hamstrings and badly healed rotator cuff injury no longer pain me, thanks to careful and expert instruction at the hands of the Pilates Connection staff. Every instructor is highly trained, really down to earth, and very talented. They want to help you become your best YOU, and not in a cheesy way either: Pilates helps you inside and out. I've become so much more aware of how my body moves, and my flexibility is lightyears better- not to mention the amazing toning and strengthening benefits! Also, there is no judgment at the studio. You don't have to be a fitness buff or a supermodel to fit in like other gyms or studios. I honestly could go on forever about how much I love Pilates Connection. Try it out yourself and see!

I'm very confident that my kids will have the knowledge, skill & confidence to defend themselves if ever need be. I can truly go on and on.... from start to finish each class I'm just in awe.

Their weapons defense class looks like something out of a comedy, and they don't teach you how to throw a proper punch. their courses look like they're designed for 50 year old moms, learning self defense. If you are a young guy that wants to know how to fight better for whatever reason join mmt in Rochester hills instead of your nearby. Krav Maga has always struggled to gain the same recognition as other martial arts. The only positive thing I can say is they have weights and the cancellation process was easy.
