Testimonials
I love working out at The Gym! I have been a member for a little over a year and have never been disappointed! It is a clean and professional environment where everyone supports each other no matter what your personal goals may be. Vinnie is very knowledgeable and he trains you to meet your goals. He cares deeply about each and every client and always greets people by name. He is definitely a one of a kind!!! All of the trainers and staff are amazing!
Michele
I’ve trained all over the US and this place is one of the best. Great selection of equipment and tons of weights. It has a great flow and even better atmosphere. If you’re serious about getting fit or just staying in shape this place is hands down the best in the Flint area and well worth the monthly fee. I highly recommend it!
David
By far one of the best gyms I have been to. Equipment is always available and clean. The owner, Vinnie, is extremely intelligent and is one of the few people I have met that gives advice and help based on a personal level and not just cookie cutter exercises. He and his staff provide the knowledge base and know-how that can help ANYONE to achieve their fitness goals. My personal favorite is that they open early (6am) and that they have many unique bars and machines that cannot be found anywhere else!
