Testimonials
Great gym! This gym compliments all fitness levels from beginner to die hard gym rat. Stumbled on this place while visiting my family in Flint and considering the only gyms in the area is planet fitness and the YMCA it’s refreshing to be able to work out at a real gym. Great branding with the name too. Also the best part is that it’s very affordable for non members. It’s the worst traveling and there not a branch of your home gym where you travel and you have to pay a ridiculous day rate just to workout. The gym makes its all easy.

We absolutely love this workout spot! From the moment you walk in, the energy is contagious and the staff makes you feel right at home. Vincent my trainer is knowledgeable, motivating, and genuinely care about my progress.
The space is clean, well-equipped, and thoughtfully designed for all fitness levels. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to push your limits, this place has something for everyone. We’ve seen real results and, more importantly, we look forward to every session.
Highly recommend to anyone looking for a supportive, fun, and effective fitness community!

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!
