Updated Review: I've always been a loyal member to every…read morefitness studio I've joined, and I came in with the same expectations here. To be fair, I'm leaving two stars only because of Arsharel and Nichol -- they are truly amazing instructors who deserve to be teaching at an original Lagree studio, not in this environment. Unfortunately, the trust I once had in this studio was broken. After many of us paid upfront for a full year membership, the owner, Judy, suddenly shifted direction: hiring inexperienced, non-certified trainers, opening a new location, and purchasing copycat machines instead of authentic Lagree equipment. Yes, you read that right -- fake Lagree machines, which are not only unsafe but also disrespectful to long-time clients who believed in the original method and trusted her leadership. The studio also rebranded from "Lagree" to "Modern Pilates," which might be fine for newcomers, but as an original client, I signed up and invested in authentic Lagree training -- not this. There's nothing wrong with Pilates in general, but the issue is the bait-and-switch: we trusted we were paying for true Lagree, with certified trainers and proper equipment. As someone who has always supported and respected my studios, I had no choice but to cancel my membership. It's disappointing to see a place I once believed in lose its integrity. If you're interested in real Lagree, I encourage you to check Sebastian Lagree's page (@lagreefitness) for more details on the differences.

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!

What a workout! My previous gym followed a HIIT format, but F45 definitely kicks it up a notch…read more Challenging, fun workouts with great music and encouraging coaches. I love that every workout is different and that the coaches are always super approachable and available with modifications or just to give me that extra push when I need it. I have really missed going to the gym throughout the pandemic, and getting back and starting a new routine at F45 has been such a positive experience for me. Convenient class times that fit my schedule, a spotless gym and even showers on site to freshen up after class. F45 checks all the boxes for me and I'm excited to see my results after joining in on my first 45 day challenge!

I think the gym is a sacred place-a place where you should feel safe. A place you should feel…read morecomfortable being yourself as you learn and a place to give your best effort without judgment. The staff at F45 have created this type of place. A place for you to get some me time and forget about the deadlines and the list of priorities. I tried the seven-day trial for $7 and I was impressed with the staff, workouts, facility, equipment, and the cleanliness of the entire place, which includes the bathrooms. Every member carried a wash cloth and disinfectant spray with them throughout the class. They have a back to school special right now where you pay $99 for your first month and then you pay $160 per month, which includes the cost of a heart rate monitor. The earliest session offered was at 7:30 AM on weekdays, 8:00 AM on Saturdays and I believe 9:30 AM on Sundays. They have an earlier session at 6:00 AM on Tuesdays & Thursdays at the Birmingham location on Cole Street, I believe. For my schedule, I really need a 5:00 AM class. The Coaches were professional, friendly, warm, knowledgeable, & supportive. They introduced themselves to me when I walked in and asked my name. They remembered my name too, which was great-"LET'S GO MITCH!" We chatted quite a bit over the seven days about the features and benefits of F45, the other locations & the possibility of starting to offer earlier classes. Also, THEY HAD A DJ SPINNING MUSIC DURING ONE OF MY CLASSES!!! He played a great mix of music. It was awesome. The workouts were challenging. They were HIIT (high intensity interval training) style workouts and every day had a different focus: strength, cardio, endurance, power, etc. Every set of each movement was designed for members to get as many reps as possible (AMRAP) in the allotted time of each set. You should definitely try F45 out for yourself! THE STRUCTURE & FORMAT OF CLASSES: The classes started with an introduction by one of the Coaches who introduced him/herself, the other Coach and they pointed out the newbie-me-and my brother in-law visiting from Florida. Then they discussed the focus, name and format of the class. One Coach described each movement while the other Coach demonstrated all movements that were going to be completed during class, then it was time for the warm-up. Once the warm-up was over, then we immediately started the workout at the station number that we were given. Every station had a different movement and the number of sets per movement differed every day. One day we did four sets of twelve different movements and the first set was forty seconds long with a fifteen-second break. Then a thirty-second set with a ten-second break, then a twenty-second set with a five-second break, then a twenty-second set and then there was thirty seconds to clean your equipment and move to the next station. There were three monitors on the wall that showed someone demonstrating the movements with designated numbers, which made it easy to stay focused and to know what to do next. One day had twenty-seven different movements, so each monitor had nine different movements. We did two sets of each movement that day, which made for a total of fifty-four sets.
