The owner is very nice and when he saw me and new I was new, went out of the way to introduce himself. I had a tour with one of the trainers who works out of the gym, and he was both super knowledgeable and nice. I have been when pretty busy, and when I was the only one in the place and never had an issue getting in my full workout. If I was to give any criticism it would be that the locker rooms are small (well the mens one is) but they cannot really do anything to change that, and they are adequate.

I was in Lansing for the weekend and was looking for a place to get a work out in. I do a lot of…read morefunctional fitness, so if I can avoid a planet fitness and go to a place that has free weights and a turf area, I'd be willing to pay. I called the gym, but no one answered; typical. However to my surprise, I received a text from the owner saying he was in a meeting and couldn't get to the phone but wanted to know if I needed anything! I told him my situation and he gave me an entire weekend pass! The gym is a fob entry system, I went in the morning and had the whole place to myself, they had an awesome environment with lots of options. I enjoyed the place so much I decided to support it and buy one of their awesome fitness sweatshirts, which was only $20! I had a great experience and when I'm back in Lansing, I know where I will be.

I actually love that it's semi personal because watching the more experienced people is super helpful. I have faithfully come and have been able to remove my knee braces that I have worn for years because my surrounding muscles have been strengthened. I truly cannot say enough about how life changing this can be, strengthening your body and your mind in this caring and supportive community!

Laurie: The Friendly Facilitator From the moment I came into the building for the first time, Laurie was very helpful and continues to be as she provides monthly receipts for my Health Savings Account. Her proactive assistance ensures that administrative tasks are smooth and efficient, allowing me to focus on my fitness journey without any added stress. She's a good instructor as well! The one that keeps me coming back is Jessica Stemen; she is the magnet. Jessica is keenly aware of my limitations and adapts the exercises to accommodate me, and others in the class as well. The appropriately sized classes make it possible for instructors like her to provide personalized attention. Because of her partnership in fitness, I have experienced positive measurable outcomes in my health. I am so grateful for her dedication and expertise. Of course, I have taken classes from Steve Flintoff and Amy Feldpausch. They both have great attitudes and provide excellent instruction. Their enthusiasm and professionalism truly represent SOF well, and I always look forward to participating in their sessions. In fact, your staff are your secret sauce! The collective efforts of the entire team create an environment that fosters growth, well-being, and a sense of community. Each member brings their unique strengths to the table, contributing to the overall success and reputation of SOF. In recognizing these exceptional individuals, I hope to highlight the extraordinary impact they have on the lives of those they serve. Their commitment to excellence and genuine care for their clients' well-being make SOF a remarkable place for fitness and health. Thank you for all that you do. Sincerely, Kelly Arndt

It caters to all ages of women and men and is well equipped with all the machines and weights you can handle. The gym's owner Steve is very knowledgeable and friendly. As you come in you will see Emma at the front desk who is extremely nice and very pleasant to talk to. She will answer all your questions and make you feel right at home. I have been in aprx. 10 gyms in the Lansing area over the last 30 years and Powerhouse is by far the BEST thanks to Steve and Emma !

Too many times, I have driven over there and found it dark well past the official opening time. Do not trust what Google says the hours are. Today, 5/21, it was supposed to be open at 5am. I checked the Consumer Energy outage map and nothing showed up so I made the mistake of not calling. The gym was not open at 7:30 am, two and a half hours after the supposed opening time. And btw, why do they often only have one person at the desk when there should be two so that if one of them has to fix a problem or needs a john break, randos can't just walk in off the street?

Went there only to discover that the "marketing team made a mistake" and had to pay $10 for a day pass, despite the email in my inbox for my "free" pass. Red flag number 1 -Uncleanliness: Upon entering, the machines looked fine and not worn down. However, the wipes to clean the machines after use are small paper towels and half of the spray bottles were empty. Additionally, upon accidentally dropping my phone on the ground, it came up covered in dirt, hair, and who knows what else. Gyms such as IM West do not have these issues, so I will definitely be returning there! -Otherwise, the atmosphere is nice, machines are just extremely bunched up together which is not a big deal unless you want more personal space.

I went here yesterday after buying one of their three pack groupons. It was fairly challenging and…read moreby the end of the workout I was definitely starting to get a little worn out. I felt like I got a good full body workout, and am a bit sore today (not so sore it's unbearable, but a good level of soreness in some of my weaker areas like arms and shoulders). I enjoyed that there was a variety of activities and you move quickly between them so if you're not a fan of a particular activity it's over pretty soon. Our instructor had a lot of energy and was very clear in giving instructions, and the atmosphere is comfortable. That being said, the class is challenging and I think next time I'll need to pace myself better throughout the workout until I adjust to the intensity (I'm usually more into running & yoga). I'm looking forward to my next two classes and will most likely continue going to classes after my groupon is over.

Unfortunately, something went wrong with my Fiancé's account and he ended up getting charged in Louisiana and also in Michigan. When we noticed the issue the new owners refused to make it right and give us a refund. They claimed that it wasn't their fault that the old memberships were mismanaged even though they willingly inherited these memberships. So instead of making it right and refunding our account, they pocketed all the money and claimed that it wasn't their fault. When we were members of Anytime Fitness we trusted what the owners told us about our accounts transferring with us so we had no reason to question if we would still get charged in Michigan. When bringing this up they said that we were actually supposed to give a written notice about cancelling our memberships, even though we just wanted to transfer, which was the first time we heard of this. So instead of being understanding they just kept reiterating that they were not going to refund our accounts. The old owners of this gym would have taken care of it right away because they truly cared about their members. It's really unfortunate to see such an amazing gym with a great community get passed over to a bunch of sharks.
