Motor City Barbell Club - Royal Oak (MI)

Judith Schwagle How do I love thee, let me count the ways! After over 10 years as a member, I have had: 1. Awesome, fun fitness routines. 2. Nose-to-toes full body cardio workouts. 3. Current, fun music to really get you going. 4. Camaraderie with a super group of women 5. Accountability, if you miss a class, someone will say “Where WERE you???” 6. FUN, talented, hard working instructors! You can even request a song now and then! 7. We celebrate EVERYTHING! Whether it’s your 50th or 200th class, your birthday or anniversary, we celebrate it! 8. Best of all…we have JANE, awesome owner of RO Jazzercise, who makes sure everything runs smoothly, and everyone is treated well. WHAT’S NOT TO LOVE ? ❤️

Robert Biskup Jr I’m so glad I found Motor City Barbell. I’ve been training here for almost a year now and love it. The coaches are really helpful and make training fun. It’s also a very positive and supportive environment to be in - people are always cheering for one another and helping each other get better.

Madi Scheessele This was my first time doing reformer Pilates and I had a great time! Sean was very friendly and helpful and gave me a tutorial of the reformer which was much appreciated. The other staff member was also very friendly and helpful. The studio was clean and the screens with the exercises were awesome to refer to. I’m not local but I’ll be back when I visit next!

Amanda Kilroe What a find! Orange theory meets all of my ADHD needs- as soon as I think I’m getting bored with an exercise, the coach is there to move you along to another. And the splat points and heart monitoring really feed the overachiever need in me to do better. And the coaches are just amazing. JC is my absolute favorite, sometimes his words are so inspirational, I get teary eyed. The facility is really amazing too, everything is state of the art and I particularly like that there are screens to show the exercises, in case I forgot. All in all definitely an enthusiastic 5 stars from me!

Conny Coon Ive been extremely pleased with my experience at Body Mechanics Studio. I have a lot of physical limitations, and my mat pilates instructor has been so incredibly accommodating from the very start. Her assistance has helped me feel confident in my pilates practice and I feel great after each and every class. I highly recommend this studio!

Ahmed Anwarullah With so many yoga studios popping up, finding a true home for my practice has taken time—but stepping into Citizen Yoga in Royal Oak and taking Kacee’s class changed everything. Her presence is powerful yet calming, and with her guidance, I achieved my first headstand—something I’ll always be grateful for. Kacee has a rare ability to read the room and meet each student where they are, blending deep knowledge with calm confidence and uplifting energy. The space is vibrant and welcoming, but it’s the instructors who make it feel like home. Selah, a new and incredible addition, pushed my stamina to the edge in the best way. I must’ve gotten lucky joining the Citizen family when I did—no coincidences, just perfect timing. I’ve already purchased more classes and can’t wait to keep showing up.

S M I started at the beginning of the month and am already hooked. I started with their 2 week unlimited package and wanted to get the most out of it so I went 3-4x each of those weeks and decided to continue with the unlimited package. It has created such a great habit now that it’s not even a question of if but when I can fit a class in. The instructors are beyond motivating and high energy too keep you going. I was nervous going alone for the first time but they were so kind in showing me around. Unless you are already working out I do not suggest starting your first class with a strength class. I did that and couldn’t get in and out of my car gracefully for 3 days! These ladies push you but at your own pace. There is lots of variations of each move and it’s never an embarrassing feeling not following the more intense movement. An easy example is planks and variations being on your knees or at the bar! It has definitely kept me accountable especially the cancellation policy! Not having to think about your next move and what number you are on of that move is a great feeling!!

Kelly McEvoy T3 Training is a welcoming gym for any fitness level. The trainers go above and beyond to ensure all students are well informed, comfortable and given the technical assistance necessary for a successful and meaningful workout. Throughout each week there are many formats of classes to select from including; strength training, Tabata, conditioning, yoga and more. There truly is something for everyone and the smaller class sizes create a very focused environment for all who attend. Each trainer brings their own unique spin to each class format, creating varied workouts, that you will never get bored with.

Kimmy Great gym for the price but NO AIR CONDITIONING??? Extremely wack. Its a heat wave and the gym has no a/c. My mind is blown
