    Evening manager Stan is extremely rude. Is very condescending when rushing people out. Even told me that I was getting on his nerves for constantly being the last person out even though it was never after 10 PM (closing time). Turns lights out every night 10-15 minutes before gym closes forcing you to workout in the dark and wants all customers to be out 5-10 minutes before they actually close. Shower stall has been smelling like urine for about the last 1-2 weeks. I've seen the same shampoo and protein shake containers in various stalls for days at a time. I assume they don't clean them everyday, otherwise the same containers would not be there for days. Equipment is not well maintained at all. Over 90% of equipment is fully functional however when something is broken it is down for an extremely long time. For example the cable fly machine by the water fountain was literally broken for over 1 year and 5 months. Could not believe it, but this is one example among many. On a positive note the day time staff is much more friendly. They do have very specialized machines. Machines that isolate muscles that i have not seen at Planet or LA. All in all, if you pay for multiple months at once then their prices are comparable to LA, otherwise month to month is $40. The environment of the customers here are friendly and welcoming. I would come here with the mindset of getting in and out.

    The staff are friendly and helpful but the gym itself is in a very ghetto location and the inside of it is even worse with torn up carpets, musty smells, and very old equipment. Also, the members here don’t follow any of the rules that are posted everywhere (re-rack weights, no horseplay, be respectful of other members, etc.) yet there’s no consequences. The pricing is also an issue. $40 a month but you can’t go to any other locations and no guest passes.

    The expertise and commitment of the coaching staff and the strong positive community really distinguishes it from the other gyms in town. It is a place to focus on individualized goals over the long term with a customizable level of support.

    Wanted to love this place... but no one is wearing mask that killed it to me. I like the history and how it was the first powerhouse gym. However, I couldn't enjoy my workout with everything running around without mask and no one upholding the policy. Just because some people don't care, the management shouldn't let these ppl ruin it for everyone else.

    If you're looking for a gym and not a fitness club this is the place to be. You can't help but to be motivated here

  • 5/5 Jillian H. 8 months ago on Google
    Yes there are some improvements that could be made but you will never find a gym quite like this one. To begin, the price (for a non-chain gym) is unbeatable. You don’t need all the bells and whistles to have a fantastic workout here. The history the minute you step foot in the building is inspiring, photos of bodybuilders surround you as you workout. The people who go here have made the place become a second home to me, the people who work the front desk truly know who you are and make conversation with you- NOT because it’s their job. The equipment is old, raw, and real which to some could use improvement but to others makes this place so freakin unique. No gym will ever beat this one

    A real gym it's just a real old school gym you go in there to work out and lift weights it's nothing like it it's just the old school cool environment with some of the old school trainers in metro Detroit pops in and out of there some Legends do so if you want to see some Legends or Mr Olympians or Miss Olympians pop up in there sometimes 👍👍

    I’m in the area maybe 6 times a month and I just love coming to this gym when I’m back.

  • 5/5 Beverly M. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a great place full of down to earth owner and good people. It's a place you can disappear and just focus on your workout and not feel like it's meat market like the much bigger box gyms.

    Great trainers and ambience! Learned lots of new, effective exercises even though I have plenty of experience as a trainer!

    This gym is exactly what I've always been looking for! The coaches are absolutely top notch, the facility is fantastic, and there is probably the widest availability of classes you’ll find anywhere.

  • 5/5 Paul H. 2 years ago on Google
    Has always been a good place to work out at as well as having great people there. If you want to work out go there — if you want to play however, go somewhere else !

  • 5/5 Gregory R. 1 year ago on Google
    So much fitness/bodybuilding history here, well worth a visit for that reason alone. Plenty of room and equipment to workout. The staff and patrons were friendly.

  • 5/5 Luke G. 1 year ago on Google
    There is always machines available to use, the place is always clean & the staff is very friendly. The app is a bit clunky to use but it's okay.

😠 Trainers do a great job. Their front office staff & managers don’t know how to run a business. After I contacted HPI to sign up for a training regimen, I was contacted via text by one of the mgrs at HPI Highland Park who asked me to setup an appointment which I did. I showed up for the appointment,...

👍👍 I’m quite new with OT but so far the program is awesome. I needed something to boost both my mental and physical health and this is exactly what I needed. All the coaches have been awesome and I love the environment and strong energy amongst my peers.
