Even though the coaches are good the business manager doesn't always stand by OTF's policy. You…read morearen't allowed to have your phone in (but some are let in with it while others are not). In addition- I showed up on time and one of the coaches let me switch to a better spot only to be told that I have to move back because the other person eventually showed up (atleast 15 minutes late). This is important because one time I was about 7 minutes late and was not let in despite paying for my class because their policy says anyone who is 5 minutes late is not allowed in. They don't refund you for it either. Just want everyone to be aware.

Berkley FBBC has it down to a science, fast, efficient and effective! The workouts are high energy and just the right amount of intensity to push yourself to the max in a great community of coaches to keep you in proper form and performing well. Love, love, love this place!!

I was skeptical about the efficacy of a 30 minute session/ 3 times week for the 0ver 60 crowd. But…read moreboy was I wrong!! I have come out sweating and feeling good EVERY session. The instructors/ coaches are VERY WELL trained and keep the focus on the Functional exercises so important to the quality of everyday life. They are also attuned to each individual during the group sessions - and facilitate adaptions as appropriate. I 100% recommend this place

The front desk greeted us and went through the waiver and first class process and had us sign the…read morewaiver for any injuries during today's class and took our photos. The owner wrapped our hands for the first and explained the importance of wrapping our wrists and knuckles to keep them stable. The wraps are $10 for a pair. Victor was our boxing instructor, seemed friendly and informative and an overall good trainer and walked around to check on our technique. We started with the 5 mins or so of warm-ups and then started our 8-3 min rounds of boxing with a minute break between each round and then 7 minutes of core work. It was a good workout. Will take more time to get more coordinated between the jabs, cross, hook and uppercuts. My arms and shoulder were good and sore within an hour and half after today's class. It was a fun and great experience. Great deal for unlimited check-ins a month for $99 for a 12 month membership. Would maybe do it again. Do be aware of signing on for the 12 month membership as I have heard from other members that they will come after you hard if you miss a payment or want out of your contract. Just be aware if you commit don't back out or it could be a nightmare.

I tried a "Barbell Class" with my neighbor and I had a good experience. The class size was…read moresmall-only three other people were in the class, which made for a nice environment. The trainer was friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. He demonstrated all movements in a way that was easy to understand and he was patient with members when they had questions. All the members were warm and welcoming. The structure of the class was clever. We did some interval warm-ups, which had twenty-five seconds of work and twenty seconds of rest. The movements included mountain climbers, bird dogs, plank holds, push-ups, and other movements. Then we did five pull-ups and ten tricep over the head extensions. Then we did some mobility work-things like lunges, cossack squats, hip rotations, and arm rotations. After that, we did bench presses with a pause at the bottom and single-arm dumbbell bent-over rows. Then we did hip thrusters and farmer carry's and we finished the workout with some barbell bicep curls, some high band side steps and some sled pushes. My muscles were definitely feeling the burn at an increasing rate as the class went on. If I had to nitpick then I would say that there wasn't enough time to complete all of the movements and the gym is small. I imagine the gym would feel crowded if there were more than five people attending a class. When we got to "event #3," which included the barbell bicep curls, high band side steps, and sled pushes, we were given only seven minutes to complete it. Because it's important to stretch at the end of a workout, I respected the time cap on this section. But, I think there should have been a time cap on all three events. That would have prevented us from feeling rushed at the end. Go check this place out! I would like to come back and try one of their kettlebell classes.

My wife and I have been going to Michigan Kettlebells for over two months now. We joined via a…read moreGroupon to try something different other than the traditional type of gym and standard treadmill workout. We couldn't be happier. Initial impressions just trying to find the place and walking in were not what I was expecting. If you are used to walking into a Lifetime Fitness with tons of equipment, throw that idea away. Michigan Kettlebells is tucked into a small commercial and storage complex. Once you walk in, you will see this is a large renovated garage and sets the mood for the workouts to come. You will learn to love it. There is a wide variety of people who attend. Classes generally have 10-15 people in them and have a 60/40 mix of men to women. Age ranges from ~16 - 60 years old across many different skill levels from beginners to marathon runners. Everyone is very supportive and a great crowd to workout with. The workouts are different every single day I have attended, but maintain the core principal to increase general strength and fitness. This is done through Kettlebell training in additional to raw,"backyard" type of workouts such as tractor tire flipping, sand bag lifting, push ups, pull ups and everything in between. Craig, the primary instructor, is very knowledgeable and an overall great guy. His wife, Dawn, holds female only boot camp classes on Sunday which my wife attends. She is loving those as well. A third trainer Derek, is another great asset to the gym. All I can say is do yourself a favor and check this out, I am happy I did.

Each workout seems to incorporate upper body, lower body and core. I feel like I've worked out for 2 hours after the 45 minute session. So you're in and out, leave feeling good, and don't have to think ahead of time! Some may say it's pricey, but it really is personal training and therefore when comparing that to the going rate, it's a steal! It's not planet fitness cheap, but it's a better, more personal workout. It's the only thing I've stuck with my entire life! I love it!! Highly recommend!

And the early 2000s music is the best! I recommend this gym often for how clean it is and not intimidating in the least. Brad goes above and beyond in his role as manager in this gym and it shows. As a business owner I think it is so important for employees to be acknowledged for the great job that they are doing.

I'm not a member here. I paid for a temp membership to do their six week challenge. I had access to…read morethe whole gym, and access to scheduling "group fitness classes" up to three times a week for the six weeks. I was looking to jump start a fitness regimen, while also getting a little guidance. My experience on the whole was good. The gym is clean. It's members help keep it that way. Also, every time I was ever in there, staff were cleaning as well. It's a little small, but there seemed to be just about everything you need to workout. I'm not a gym rat, but that's how it seemed to me. The training is good. And fun. I loved going to those classes, and I couldn't do half the exercises completely, but I did get better every week. It's run by the trainers, and they do it a little different from one another, so I liked to attend all of them. Good workouts. Speaking of the trainers, they were all very nice people. Most of my classes were with Brad, Michael, and Madi. they were all helpful and encouraging. Great people. It's a great experience. I developed a routine which I am continuing to this day.

You will SWEAT in this class and feel the BURN. It's a whole body workout including a 1/2 mile run…read morefor cardio. Every exercise is explained in detail and you're spilt in different teams so each station is not over crowded with ppl. First we warm up by stretching afterwards we take our 1/2 mile run/jog then we get right into the exercises. I made it through once, you keep going until time is called which is about 25 minutes or so. I like how the instructor encourages you and so do the other participants. I would love to come back here but it's far from my home. Hopefully they get more locations opened in the area. It's a great place to work out and definitely worth the money. Sign up for a free 3 day trial.

I brought a Groupon to Burn Boot Camp Troy because I was tired of complaining about not having the…read morebody I want. So my Groupon was for a month unlimited classes and I decided to make that month count! The gym is a pretty big space with a huge gym mat flooring in the center, trx bands and boxing bags to the side. It's an all women boot camp so I automatically felt comfortable (no offense guys ). This camp is full of dedicated women from all different strength ranges so you feel comfortable going at your own pace and even daring to push yourself! The women are encouraging when you take the time to hear their stories and hear their reason why they keep coming to class. Bianca is the owner and also a trainer and she instantly makes you feel like one of the Burn Sisters (even though she tries to kill you through her crazy workouts on a daily basis!) She's very involved and hands on and you can tell she puts a lot of thought into the different workouts daily. Which is one of things I love, it never gets redundant there's always something different to push you and you even get the less difficult, most difficult and somewhere in between to help maximize your workout and tailor it to fit you. All the trainers are energetic and you can always get one on one attention to correct your form. They even have an app where you can schedule sessions to get measured and check your progress, and learn the workout focus for the week and more features. There is also Facebook support group where you can also connect. I'm nearing the end of my month long Groupon and I can say without a doubt this is my most favorite workout experience and I've done a few different bootcamps and workouts over the years! Do I groan every day just thinking about going to work out? Yes! Does it still hurt? Yes! Would I rather be somewhere drinking a beer? Yes! But this place is so worth it, I can't stop dragging myself there daily! If you're feeling skeptical about starting they offer a 14 day free trial! What do you have to lose....except some extra weight?!

I arrived early (before the place opened up) for the 6am class. The instructor gave me run down of the class and how to use the machine. I signed a waiver before getting started. They have cubbies to put your belongings. They sell really cute sock if you need some. There's a mirror on the wall so you can see yourself to make sure you're in the correct position. Listening is important so you know what to do. You can also look at your classmates to see what they are doing in case you're unsure. It's a small class of only about 10 people. The exercises are simple but require strength and stamina. The instructors have feedback and helped me to get into the correct position. There's no cardio involved but it's a great full body workout. I'd love to come back.
