I really like this gym. I started going a few months ago and enjoy that they have two sides of free…read moreweights and two sides of weight machines. The treadmills here are unique in that they have a track feature which allows you to see your progress. This gym also has good shower facilities. I recently took a Zumba class on Friday at 8:45 am and it was difficult but a lot of fun. It was my first time experiencing it so I arrived a few minutes early to introduce myself to the instructor and tell her it was my first time. Her name was Karen and she has been instructing Zumba for 7 years. She was a student of a very good Brazilian dancer and it shows. The class was animated and high energy, I struggled to keep up and will need a few more classes to get some of the moves but when I did get the moves I felt exhilarated. I stayed after to talk with Karen and she recommended that I stay on my toes and do a 4 or 8 count to keep the pace when switching moves. She wasn't harsh when the students didn't get it right she just kept smiling and kept the class moving. I'll be coming back again soon to take more lessons from her.

I have to say I truly love this gym! It is spacious, almost never busy and has so many machines and…read moreweights to choose from. The cardio section is just as massive as the weights and there are lots of class options. Take cycling with Cheryl! The price is definitely right for how much gym you get. When I walk in the employees know my name and immediately ask me how I'm doing. The owner is genuine and you can tell that the employees here care about your gym experience. I love that it feels like a little family and I've made several friends here. It isn't the shiniest or newest place, but that is what I love. It doesn't feel pretentious and I don't feel intimidated to work out, which is something I've hated about other gyms. They also sell snacks and shakes, have a small salon and very clean locker rooms. A great gym overall!

Thanks to my Aunt De-De and Uncle Warren, I was talked into getting up pretty early last Saturday…read moremorning to meet them for a workout at Art of Strength. I didn't know what to expect other than an intense workout, and that's exactly what I received! The class I attended was split into two smaller groups. One went with Mike and one with Peter. I went with Peter and my workout included cardio (with a stationary bike, rowing machine, ski machine, and jumping jacks), lunges, upper body using a medicine ball and ropes, and a ton of squats. I liked how we kept switching exercises so I didn't get bored at all. I also liked that Peter took into account injuries of those in our group and gave them alternative exercises that were right for their situation... trainers / instructors don't always do that. The folks in Mike's group (including my aunt, uncle, cousin, brother, and a few friends) were all out of breath and dripping sweat by the end of their workout. I could tell that Mike's reputation is to be tough and kind of a smart-ass, but it works. He's a huge motivator for those in the gym. I loved the energy at AOS and I would totally workout here if I lived in Michigan full time. I was a little nervous after the workout that I'd be too sore to stand up at my sister's wedding that evening, but I felt great and had a fabulous time at the wedding... Thanks again to Peter for the workout and to Aunt De-De for motivating me to get my ass to AOS that morning!

We pay a premium for this gym to enjoy a pool, cold plunge, sauna, and steam room. Unfortunately,…read morethe place is packed with clicks of kids dropped off all day to hang out. The pool is overrun with kids to the point they spill over into the swim lanes so either they are in my way or a random soccer ball gets slammed into my head while swimming. I watched a guy in the hot tub get his glasses knocked off his face and broken by a kid jumping in despite the 18 or older sign. The lifeguards ignore it all. Adult swim time is extremely limited. Wanted to learn Pilates. Class hours are sparse. I took 3 classes but stopped when I hurt my back - the instructor was disinterested. I get closer coaching at independent studios. The kids use the weight machines to sit and scroll on their phones. Not a lot of working out going on while I'm waiting. I never see anyone clean a machine after they use it so I clean before and after each machine use. The locker room bathroom is pretty gross, staff just can't possibly keep up with the crowds. I'm forced to head back to Planet Fitness where membership costs are reasonable. No pool but I can't use it at Lifetime anyway so I may as well stay at Planet Fitness. This is so disappointing, I had high hopes because they have so much to offer. Planet Fitness is closer to home and more adult.

The gym is excellent for me. They have a wide variety of equipment, which is plus for me. There is a good amount of free weights, dumbbells, and kettle bells. The Sports Club has a some cable equipment, and a QueenEx (like a jungle gym) which has TRX-type equipment. They have a number of machines. There is not a lot of open space in the gm, but there is enough room for normal workout. At a couple of times the gym can be packed, but normally there is plenty of space. And, there are times the gym is completely empty. There is a cardio section on a different level from the gym, which has treadmills, bikes, ellipticals, etc...They also have a short track around the gym area, which people walk. The classes are very good. Most people could get by taking the classes (which are included) in place of a personal trainer (they have those, as well). My Favorite thing - Towell service. I need a towel when I workout, and I cannot express how much I love that The Sports Club has them available. They do a pretty good job keeping the facility clean. The staff is generally friendly and accommodating. The only real downside for me is the building needs some upkeep, and the parking is a disaster - think grocery store. The club is on the expensive side for running on a treadmill, but it is well priced if you make use of all the club offers.

After drama and disdain at my former gym, I needed a replacement. Fast…read more They are a little pushy with the trainers. I did take a smaller trainer led class to try it out, and I really really liked it. But the price point, after spending a lot/month already is a bit outrageous. The cafe is nice, but the drinks are pricey. $8 for a smoothie? Maybe not. The equipment seems clean, up to date and there is a lot of it. Classes on the second floor, equipment on the third. Showers are nice, water is a little all over the place with the temperature. But good pressure. I wanted a place with good showers and free coffee. Hey, it is the only thing that motivates me to go. Didn't quite get that, but overall I am pleased. Month to month too - I love that. Don't notice the lines at the showers or in the parking lot because I go at 5 am.

Encountered a man who approached me on a machine and proceeded to ask me where was I born and who did I vote for. Went to get the staff, and he had no shame in spewing the same nonsense to them. So what happens you ask...HQs gets involved and suspends me - you can't make this mess up. When I told them this is easy to solve go look at your surveillance cameras and you will CLEARLY SEE and HEAR what happened, their response, "oh our surveillance system doesn't have audio"...Needless to say, I cancelled my family's membership and will never go back there. If I could give a negative star I would.

Powerhouse West Bloomfield does seem to be the best gym in our area…read more It's very clean. They have a pool. Lots of machines in a wide variety of choices including 2 NuSteps. Lots of space. If you've never been inside, it's deceptively small looking from outside the building and hugely spacious inside. They offer a lot of classes. Way too many tv's. Be prepared for noise and bring your own sound canceling earphones if that's an issue for you. It's a BIG gym. It has decent accessibility. The few changing rooms offered are BIG and have benches and grab bars which are really helpful if you've got accessibility challenges that make dressing difficult. The pool entrance has ladders, entrance steps, and a seat that can lower you into the pool. The women's only workout room is upstairs, just warning you, and there's no way to get there aside from walking up a flight of stairs, so I haven't seen it. What I don't like: The 3-lane pool feels small and most often has 5+ people in it even when I go between noon & 2pm, their slowest time of the day. I'm not sure the lanes are actually normal length or shorter, or maybe I'm just thrown off because the lanes are narrower than other lap pools I've used (I can't normally touch the lane dividers with both hands while swimming elementary backstroke, for example, but I do at this pool) and the pool is shallow - you can touch everywhere. This makes it great for people who can't swim because they can walk. But with all the pool walkers and the narrow lanes, it's hard to really lap swim because lane sharing is extra challenging, and there's nowhere deep enough to tread water. WEIRD bathrooms! The toilet stalls are made of frosted glass. I'm not sure if they designed that way to match the shower stalls or to discourage people from changing in bathroom stalls, but... there's not as much privacy as any other public bathroom I've ever seen. You can see which stalls are full/empty at a glance and whether the person in the stall is leaning forward to wipe, sitting, or standing. It's also quite a walk to get from the workout area to the bathrooms, which are back by the pool. They don't list their prices anywhere, and the way they always have some special deal going that's about to end soon just seems like a weird sales ploy. You can't find out the price without giving your info. Even if you go in person and ask, they have this whole song and dance where they list a higher price and cross it off and give you this "special limited time offer." I originally went to signup due to an advertised rate of $25/month for college students with ID, which I saw advertised on Facebook, but was told there was no such rate when I arrived in person. I kind of get the feeling that they pay their sales team on commission based on how high of a rate they can talk the customer into paying each month. Plus there's also a signup fee and an annual fee in addition to the monthly fee. I'm ok with all of that, I just wish they wouldn't deceptively advertise, and that they were more up front with their pricing. The sales team is uhh... thorough? Excellent at followup? They WILL call and email frequently but they stopped as soon as I asked them to - so be upfront with them! I do wish the guest passes for the higher membership could be used by guests without them scheduling the visit and having to wait for someone from sales to talk to them before and after each visit. Also, the sign in the building says guests should be new one-time visitors, but a salesperson told me over the phone that you can have the same guest come use all 4 guest passes as long as they fill out the paperwork with every visit. Not sure which is accurate, but I felt a little embarrassed to be told one thing and show up and see otherwise.

I've been a member since 2019 and just canceled mostly due to lack of communication and…read moretransparency. They sent an email to me in February 2024 stating "As we strive to provide you with the best facilities, equipment, and services, we occasionally need to adjust our rates. We are writing to inform you about a modest increase in our annual membership fee. Beginning March there will be a $10 increase to your annual fee. Your monthly dues will remain the same and will not be increased." Which was false-- my monthly membership increased by 6.95%. At a glance, that amount was not noticeable, like a tick sucking my blood. Then I was out of town not using my gym service for several months to come to find out it was put on hold and my membership was further increased by another 10.42%. So from my agreed membership fee at the time of contract signing, I'm paying more in annual 'maintenance' fees AND 16.67% more in monthly fees and not getting any more value out of the gym so I'm cutting my loss here. The thing I have the most gripe about is that it feels like it was done under my nose because 99% of the emails I receive from Powerhouse Gym are spam about sweepstakes and the Powerhouse App. If you still insist on making this your gym, carefully read your contract as it does state that they will increase your gym memberships without your consent or notice.

This gym is mostly good but has some major flaws. The gym is clean and the equipment is new. My…read moremain grip is their advertising is slightly dishonest. They advertise the gym as open 24hrs. It is open 24hrs but you will pay for xtra to get 24hr gym access. The gym is also closed Sundays, unless you pay for 24hr access. The gym advertises 10$ monthly payments. That's kinda true but not completely. To pay 10$ monthly you will need to make a 120$ initial payment to pay for your first year. Then you will be billed 10$ monthly for 12 months which will bring your bill to 20$ monthly. After 1 year of 20$ monthly payments you will then finally pay 10$ monthly. There is no WiFi for customers to use. In my opinion if they dropped the shady marketing tactics, made the gym 24/7 for everyone, put in WiFi for paying customers and offered a flat fee of 20$ monthly this gym would be the best in Waterford.
