The Training Factory - Okemos (MI)

5 /5 Joshua Holder: The Training Factory is an excellent gym that covers all-around training needs. Having trained at many powerlifting gyms with high-level equipment such as Texas Power Bars, Rogue, and Eleiko, I can confidently say the Training Factory provides access to all of these top-tier names. The environment is welcoming allowing members to train however they prefer without judgment. The facility is consistently clean, well-maintained, and organized, which makes every session more enjoyable. Management is also attentive and dependable, ensuring the gym runs smoothly.

5 /5 Kerry Goodsir: The Training Factory is truly an amazing facility. It is divide into two main spaces, one with cardio machines and state of the art with machines, and free weights and the other with TRX and a space for cross fit training. The owners Meagan and Matt are both highly skilled trainers who work to build a plan that is customized to each client. There are also several other trainers available. The gym is open 5am -11pm and you are able to gain access by a key pad. There are personal showers that lock so you can shower anytime comfortably. Additionally, there are two massage rooms with a number of great providers. The people that train here are a variety of levels, but everyone is really into improving and very friendly. If you are looking for a new place to train, I would definitely recommend giving it a try.

5 /5 Aricka Ream: Ryan Patterson is my personal trainer at The Training Factory. I was referred to him by my friend, and it was an excellent referral. My goals have been to increase my strength, to learn to use new equipment correctly and safely, and to re-ignite my excitement for weight lifting. Ryan is extremely knowledgeable, teaching proper form and pushing me to meet my goals. He’s very positive and always provides feedback that makes me excited for the next training session. Communication is on point. He lets me know what we are going to tackle next session, answers all my questions and always checks-in. I am already thrilled with what I have accomplished in such a short amount of time and can’t wait to see what I am fully capable of with his training.

5 /5 Saira Sumbal: One of the best gyms I have ever been a member of and I have been to gyms around the globe. #1 gym in the state for its unique and dynamic array of equipment, atmosphere and community. No other better gym in the area. Here are the reasons why: -This is a gym for everyone who loves fitness and that is one of the reasons I love it. You will find college aged, young professionals, experienced athletes, people getting back to it, seniors, influencer types-the list goes on. Do not be surprised if you make new friends. -There is all sorts of equipment. CrossFit style workout equipment, weight machines, treadmills, bikes, etc. Highly recommend this place to anyone who works in a tactical or tactical support profession-military, police, firefighters, EMT. The treadmills work great for rucking and weighted vest walking. Has all equipment or good alternatives for the Army Combat Fitness Test including the sprint drag carry and trap bar deadlift! Loads of pull up and chin up bars. Two ropes you can climb. Kettlebells and sandbags for heavy load carrying. -This gym is BEAUTIFUL and FUNCTIONAL. In the mornings, the light shines bright because of the large garage windows. At night, there are strobe lights which serves as nice mood lighting that will not disrupt your circadian rhythm if you have to get in a session late. The floors, rustic look in this gym are very nice. When it gets summer warm, they open the garage which gives a nice breeze. The lockers are perfect-fit in a backpack and some other equipment. -This is a consistently clean gym. I do not know how they do it. It is amazing how clean this gym is. -The people who work at this gym are amazing professionals who clearly love their craft and fitness. I follow my own training program, but by far if I wanted to get a PT, I would look no further than the trainers at Training Factory. Kelly gives great massages in house which makes it so convenient post workout. -I constantly feel like I find new equipment that I can use at this gym which keeps it interesting! -Can’t beat this location. There is a beautiful trail you can walk to nearby for cardio post strength. Coffee shops, highway nearby. Easy drive to Trader Joe’s and FreshThyme. So much time saved. Many other reasons to add of why this gym is great but encourage people to try it out with their day pass which is what I initially did. Meagan one of the owners is a lovely person and obviously cares about gym patrons. I personally will be sad when I have to leave and no longer get to be a part of this amazing community!
