The cost of his services are way lower than at other gyms and you get actual one on one training. I really like that I am able to make my own schedule as I have a very busy life. Jeff had created a tailored program for me that has me wanting to go work out. Great for anyone who wants to get into shape but doesn't want to spend millions doing it.

You will not regret going to see Jeff! He changed my life for the best and can absolutely do the…read moresame for you. In April, I was going through a tough breakup and at over 200 pounds. I called Jeff and went in to meet with him and was sold right away by his charm, energy, passion for the job and prices! Now, six months later, I am so glad I made that leap and am 30 pounds down not only due to his support with physical activity but because of his willingness to be there for me emotionally and mentally when necessary as it is of utmost importance to your process to have a supportive, kind and helpful voice even if it's while you are huffing and puffing through your exercises! Going to see Jeff is always bound to be full of laughs and positive energy alongside hard work! He is dedicated and focuses on your needs and tracks your heart rate to get an idea of what you need specifically and at what level you should be working. You'll never feel like you have to throw up, as I have with other trainers (not normal!!). Jeff keeps a close eye on your heart rate and body language to ensure you are working at an optimal level for fat loss or whatever it is you're looking for. After working with Jeff, I recommended him to my brother, who had a completely different set of expectations (muscle gain) than me (weight loss) for Jeff. He walked out of his first session and called me right away to say thanks for recommending Jeff and that he was pretty sure Jeff would change his life :). Sure enough, they've been working together and have made great strides too!! There is honestly no one better to start and finish your journey with! Look no further because you have found the guy that will work by your side to get you what you want! I honestly can't say enough to get you to contact him and just get out there! The drive down Riverside is always beautiful and gives me a bit of time to think before arriving and some time to be really proud on the way home. You'll be happy when you're pants fit nicely or even loosely instead of tight and your skin clears up and people start complimenting you! I know I was! It's all up to you to make the changes, but it's also really important to surround yourself with positive upbeat people who don't judge and who know what they're doing and how to tailor a program to you! Jeff can do all of that and more :) Contact me through Yelp if you have any questions regarding this review :)

Today I visited your 1200 W Fort St, Detroit location. After checking in, I asked the manager if I…read morecould quickly walk my pregnant wife and 1-year-old daughter to a nearby festival for safety reasons, then return to work out. The manager said it was fine. When I came back, my truck had been towed -- with my wallet, ID, and cards inside. I had to wait in a dangerous area with my family and pay $555 cash to retrieve my vehicle from an ATM with high fees before the tow yard closed. This was extremely distressing. Reviews show this location has repeated towing issues, and despite claims about lot ownership, I was told by staff it was okay to park. I'm requesting reimbursement of $555 and a response confirming this problem will be addressed.

True Body is nestled at the famous corner of Michigan & Trumbull in Corktown, right next to…read moreMcShane's bar (formerly Hoot's). Blink and you'll miss it - the sign is small and in the window front. It's not a huge place, and most of their space extends the long way back through the building, leaving the actual storefront you see on the street rather narrow and small. When you walk inside, you see the super cool, urban loft style to the studio - one large room with gleaming hardwood floor, exposed brick wall, and Detroit artwork hung about. They offer group classes and personal training sessions only, so this is not your standard "drop in and work out on your own" gym. The schedule has regular spin, zumba, pilates, and yoga classes, and personal training sessions can be scheduled by appointment. Classes are reasonably priced, you must schedule and reserve ahead (no drop ins) because the place is small and they don't want to overbook. But, the scheduling system is online, very simple, and allows you to add in or cancel nearly right up until the class start time. Every class I've gone to was a hit - energetic and helpful instructors and good music! The clientele tends to be lots of young professionals who live nearby in Corktown, Midtown, downtown, etc. and everyone is very friendly. All levels of fitness welcome. I only wish True Body would add a few more varieties of classes to their schedule (kickboxing, please!!!) and maybe some more Saturday day times, so I could go more often. Check the website for a $5 class deal for first timers, and also their month unlimited packages.

This place has it all. A nice little boutique gym with tabatta, strength training, and cardio. I…read morewanted to find a spin class and this one popped right up. Located in a rather sparse looking part of town, there's ample street parking. They offer a TRUE AND FREE WEEK OF CLASSES. You know the drill with these gyms, they offer you a free week pass but you have to go in person, get the spiel from one of their sales reps, fill out tons of crap, and get hounded with ads and phone calls for the rest of your life until you join - not so here. Go online and sign up with their class scheduler, and if you've ever taken any class at one of these boutique gyms then you're already familiar with the Mind Body Connect platform. Add the "one week free" item to your cart and sign up for classes. DONE. I walked in that same day for a 90min spin class. No calls or questions when I stopped going. Some might prefer more attention, which I get, but I was thrilled with their hands off approach. Totally friendly, worth checking out. For you spinners out there, they have a series of classes that work towards riding a full century. I'm definitely going to check that out when it comes around again.

The first time, unlimited class package is a great bargain if you were to compare pricing to other locations in the vicinity. There are showers as well as lockers for storage as classes sometimes are 90min+ . Wide variety of instructors which I always value. I've just started my second month and the rate is 130$. They offer towels, as well (I've never taken one, though) and easy sign up through the mobile app. I have noticed the temperature during class between seasons can vary, which is very important to me (bc otherwise it's just regular yoga, which isn't worth 130$) so I am a stickler. Classes during the weekend are very packed at times (earliest being10AM) . I prefer sessions @ 6AM during the week. Hopefully they begin offering the same time over the weekends. TLDR; worth the cost (ONLY if you stay consistent and go x2-x3 a week) . Sometimes teachers will make tea post-session. All around decent vibe. Clean facilities. Always has body wash. Small parking lot. I have not sensed any weirdness at all (sometimes is an issue at studios w heavy culture) --That's what it's about ! Would recommend to someone w a frequent practice

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 gym itself has all the cardio and weight machines you would expect from a larger chain gym, an indoor walking/running track, and two larger indoor basketball courts. The machines are always pretty clean and I found the people to be more courteous here than say a planet fitness; possibly because they know they all work together. Another option for this gym is that they have a lower cost membership that grants access to the walking/running track and the showers/locker room. This is nice if you love near downtown and want to run to work or if you are a bike commuter. I believe they still do classes or the guy behind the desk will show you how to use the machines and set up a basic workout plan with you. Overall, this place is pretty nice and has a good vibe; if you're looking for a place to workout downtown, try this out.
