I am very happy with my (newer) membership! Glad I made the decision to join. My favorite area is the power lifting room (with the turf/windows). It's amazing and I brag on it to other people and tell them they should come check it out :)

This gym is phenomenal accross the board, clean, employees are friendly, and large enough to get a workout in regardless of how many people are there. I've been working out consistently for almost 15 years, have had memberships at almost a dozen gyms and visited maybe 100 more over that time period and this one is easily the best I've ever seen.

Good place

I love the variety of classes and the women's only area of machines. The pool and the hot tub are great after a good workout. Showers and locker area is always nice and clean, but the best part is my trainer, Yianni who is not only quite knowledgeable, but is very kind and understanding.

Well this place is huge! They have everything from a basketball court to a pool. Lots of very dedicated folks at this location and it shows. The guest fee is $20 and you have to give all kinds of info to get in. Then they drive you crazy after with e-mails and phone calls. I am a member at another gym, but was in the area so I tried it . A lot of room and a lot of equipment. The free weight section is probably the smallest area, but still good. If I lived closer, I would happily be a member here. There is also a physical therapy place inside that people raved about.

Price is right. Bonus attendance points offering discounts for all kinds of stuff from shoes to vacations. Every aspect is Great. I suggest taking a tour. Friendly well trained staff. PLUS! it has a pool and a Great Jacuzzi.

Disappointed. Ive used the upstair place at morning like 3:30 or later AM for almost 3 months now. Im sure there is no sign like "only for girls". Even so, what if Im a gay or trans-gender, how come the staff say "you cant be here because here is only girls." when i said no sign here". and then he said "Oh if a girl comes, you should leave here because of girls only" Did i bother someone at 4am? I paid money to use this place and plus I just use a tiny space evey time. I share with others. Whats wrong with you? at the time Someone was just quietly shouting, but no warning like the staff did to me. He did it because Im asian? I didnt brake rules and I just quietly work out every time. Im not like other strong men. people may say skinny, but how come the staff could say you cant work here? I cant believe it. Today is Feb 25th 2019. This power house is not friendly to me and maybe some are racist. I deserve to use all place in the powerhouse because i believe thats what ive paid for. I shouldnt pay money here. Probably the lifetime is better service and bettet quality and should be friendly for asians.

UPDATE
After the day they put a big poster "women only zone" because of me? why do you need sparate zone? if you make like that, this gym needs some separated sections for men too. i havent seen men zone. plz be fair.

I am changing my review from 5 stars to 1 star because of below reason.

I had joined the club and paid the 1st and last month in advance. So when i had to cancel my membership, i dont have to pay the last month.

I had put in my membership cancellation on Sep 18th and since there is a 30 day notice, i understand that i had to pay for month of october. But this october payment should have been from the amount that i had already paid in advance at the time of joining. But the management made me pay for october and said the November month is free.

It doesn't make any sense here.

This is the best gym ever I think and it's the best Powerhouse in Michigan. They have everything you need in 1 place. They have a basketball court, smoothie bar, swimming pool, etc and their own healthy fresh made meals.at affordable prices. I had Rob help me get started he's the man if your in the market for a great gym and get your money's worth Powerhouse Novi is the place to be.

I like this gym because it caters to everyone and it's rarely overcrowded. I had one session with a trainer and she was excellent. You'll also find their rates competitive for their segment of the market.

My first impression of the gym was that more effort could have gone into cleaning. There was a ton of equipment - free weights, power racks, treadmills, etc. There is only one basketball court, which is generally crowded.
Most of the time there are way too many people which makes working out very difficult.
The staff is unhelpful and under qualified. The "managers" are pushy salespeople that try to lock you into long contracts; they do not try, nor care, to help find the best option for each member.
Because each Powerhouse is a franchise, these specific owners are not willing to work with current powerhouse members in other cities.
I suggest considering other options closely before joining this gym.

I like that the gym is available 24/7. Love my yoga classes with Afsoon. She is very professional and motivating!)

I work out at Powerhouse daily. Filled with a mix of serious bodybuilders, bro lifters, casual fitness and once a week gym goers. It is a nice gym at a great price. It is a high traffic gym, expect to wait during peak evening times.

Staff does a really good job keeping this place clean.

I would rate 5 stars, However maintenance lately has been lacking. I am seeing machines that are taking months to repair ( leg extension machine). The one water bottle filling station is broken down at least once a week. Expect the roof to leak during heavy rains. Again this gym sees a lot of traffic. Normal wear and tear needs to be stayed on top of.

Also If you are looking to play basketball on certain days at peak times. you can't because they hold a Zumba Class there for 1.5 hours on some days.

Aggressive sales tricks, overcrowded area, and overpriced membership gives it 2 stars for the average gym rat. Consider membership only if you are looking for other body builders or are in search of a specific amenity they offer.

Visited late one weekday with a friend's guest pass and used the treadmill, machines, free weights, and sauna. The equipment layout is clustered and lacks organization. There's a waste of space in the center of the gym and a haphazard sprint lane stretches between cardio equipment. The second floor has little to offer but there is a pool lane (2-3 person), a basketball court, and a punching bag which are a nice touch.

I visited a second time with the same friend who had a 2nd guest pass to get a feel for the weekday traffic (~7pm). It was uncomfortably packed and I had to wait for spaces and machines to free up multiple times. The crowd was made up of generally fit and body builder types.

I was most displeased by the staff, who charged me $20 for using guest pass a 2nd time and pressured me to sign up on the spot. I don't mind paying for a day's use of the facility, but the staff member then kept my receipt and said he would return it alongside my ID when I turned in the guest card key.

Versatile group of people who work out at the gym from beginners to pros who appear to accept each other, the rules are bold and prominent so everyone understands and I truly believe they are enforced, I like that they have any type of equipment you may need from cables to ropes to that thigh cardio machine. I also LOVE the smooth transition from the gym, locker room, shower, to pool. It makes it effortless to get any type of workout that interest you that day and makes it fun to know there is variety and keeps me coming back. The class instructors are fun, energetic, and truly give you a great workout. Overall, very happy with this gym. I choose to drive past many gyms that are closer to me to workout at powerhouse because they don't compare. Also, thanks to the staff for always saying hi and bye to me when coming and going. I love this gym!

I am 73 years old and THOUGHT I was in good shape. Have been a member at this location since December and being retired can go anytime. The afternoons are wide open and great. The facilities are clean and equipment is functioning well. With that out of the way let's get to the true benefits. A commitment to feeling, looking and being in overall good shape regardless of one's age, is usually a goal to focus on. I have used many trainers over the years and am not a muscular guy, far from it. But hey at 73 life is good, or so I thought. I became friends with a few of the trainers and like anything else in life, it is all about how you connect with others, whether at work, socially, in the neighborhood, etc.

After talking with Darrell Pasco, one of the trainers, for a month or so, I thought I would give it a try and after explaining my personal goals for getting in better shape, we started a program and i have made a new commitment. We totally understand the process and overall plan needed by me, as developed by Darrell. And he knows when and how to push the right buttons to get me to the next level. I am confident I will attain this goal I have set with Darrell.

So whether you are 19 or 73 years of age, male or female, just starting a workout program, or trying to refine where you are, Darrell is the man and he is a great listener and sets a bar for you that you will certainly be able "to chin", plus it really is fun and enjoyable and not a grind. Go for it and Semper Fi Darrell. Ask for him, you will not be disappointed.

Can't get a pick up basketball game going because 1 guy will call next and pick up 4 guys from the losing squad just so he'll win so he'll stay on the court while many other who have't played have to wait. I've brought this up to the staff that they should have a list to sign up for pick up and they didn't even take me seriously nor do anything about it.

I went in to see if they offer day passes. The EMPLOYEE, Ron Sanford, offered me a tour and showed me everything the gym has. It's a beautiful facility with a lot of equipment. However, once Ron realized that I wasn't there to sign up for a membership, he treated me as if I didn't matter and shoo'ed me out of the gym. I left the gym feeling pretty embarrassed and turned off. It's something I didn't appreciate as I took the time to go on the tour when I could have utilized that time to find a place that fits my current needs. I was very clear in the beginning that I only needed a day pass. Wasting my time and his showing me around only to find that at the end that my needs and I didn't matter...unprofessional. All you had to say was "Sorry, we don't accept walk-ins."

The gym has an excellent variety of services for members. From free classes to personalized training to therapy, there's something for everyone. The gym is always clean and even on the busiest days, there are enough machines to get your workout in. This all contributes to an atmosphere that encourages you to keep coming back regularly for your workout. I'm so glad I joined this gym! It has definitely been the best decision I've made in 2018 so far.

I would like to comment on Bisiel's Body Pump class. I attended it today and I love that she teaches form. To me, that is the most important aspect of beginning and doing any physical exercise. She is enthusiastic and inspires her class to work. Great teacher is Misiel.

I mainly signed up because of it being in a convenient location for me. They also have a ton of equipment. This is where the good stuff ends. its always overcrowded during the week, the majority of the staff are not friendly or willing to help (upon sign up, the staff ran through my contract and did not explain each hidden fee that would occur. I was charged $60 after just 10 days of signing up), and finally the locker room and showers are often in bad shape. 2/5 stars is about right.

Save your money, go somewhere else. I have worked out at many gyms and this is by far the least comfortable gym I have ever been in. During the summer it feels like there is no Air Conditioning and now in the Fall it feels like the heat is blasting. It is very uncomfortable and distracts you from your workout. Go somewhere that knows how to use climate control. Also if having WiFi at your gym is important to you the WiFi is so slow and intermittent it is unusable.

Very uncomfortable workout environment. Its always distractingly hot. Wifi is awful and unusable.

October 25, 2017 15:32

Great workout facility, but even better trainers. Sam Fareed is who I would recommend. Motivating, intelligent, kind, friendly, and a through and through good person. I was fortunate enough to stumble into him for training and he's taught me so much (both physically and mentally). Whether you're just starting out or just need some help taking your workouts to the next level this is your guy!!

I'm not sure what services you are referring to, but the Hammer Strength and Life Fitness equipment are superb! I have loved Hammer Strength for about 25 to 30 years now. I also think the aerobic equipment is nice. I haven't had an opportunity to try the yoga and kickboxing classes yet, but I am looking forward to trying them. I would like to add that the staff is quite friendly. No matter what time I arrive to the gym they are always pleasant and friendly. I also like the fact that they are a 24/7 gym.

October 25, 2017 15:32

Your rewards program is great. The facility has ALMOST everything anyone would need, from athletes to the elderly. The lockerroom is clean most of the time. The machines are clean. Everything is nice. Would recommend adding more room in the turf area just for people trying to train for athletics and more water fountains.
