This is a great place to find just the right workout for YOU! Caring, personable and highly skilled exercise professionals to assist with ALL your health and fitness goals. As a local Physical therapist I recommend their services to my clients knowing they will receive excellent service and care here.

This is more than a gym, it's a community of amazing and supportive people who truly care about you and your wellness. I look forward to going to the classes, and always feel uplifted when I leave. Their closure due to Covid-19 didn't stop them from doing what they do best; they seamlessly transitioned to online classes and provide a virtual community (open to non-members!) on Facebook. I'm so grateful to have their resources and support, especially during these unprecedented times.

The instructors are some of the most knowledgeable in the business, hands down, no question on that one. But what truly sets AFS apart from all other fitness facilities is the people...the community and friendships that are created with the staff and members alike...that feeling of coming home every time you walk through their doors. I am grateful every day that I am able to be part of this community.

This is by far the best gym in the area. All of the coaches and staff are the most friendly, motivating, and kind people I have ever met. Every time I go in, I am welcomed with a smile and a welcoming environment. When i'm at the gym, they make me forget about all the little things and just enjoy trying to better myself. They make fitness and nutrition enjoyable. Every time I leave a workout, I fell motivated to eat better and not just snack on junk food. I would and have recommend this gym to everyone no matter what their fitness goals may be. If your looking for a friendly, FAMILY environment, this is the gym for you. #fitfam

I highly recommend AFS Rochester. I have been a member for 3 years and love the combination of cardiovascular and weight training workouts and this year, I added yoga to the mix. The trainers and leadership are professional yet personal. The best part about being a member is feeling like you belong and have a supportive community.

Joined April 8th, 2019, best decision I have made for myself. I love it at AFS ,staff goes over and above all your needs. Clean ,friendly , family like atmosphere . Highly recommended. Do yourself a favor and take the time to at least call them . They offer free trial classes and have something for the whole family.

The staff is the best anywhere to provide motivation, technique tips, and fun to all of the workouts! Perfect format of options and classes to improve health and fitness. Unmatched personal attention while also being a positive group atmosphere, no matter what your level of fitness or body shape.

I started at AFS in February and it was a fantastic decision. Great people, great equipment and the approach is exactly what I needed. You never realize how much even thought you are working out a lot, you are working out a lot the wrong way..

This has been so beneficial and people have noticed a different after the first month.

Nice job and you have a lifer

I found AFS after someone I worked out with at Lifetime recommended it. While I miss some of the equipment at Lifetime, the people and coaching and approach at AFS are unreal. I cannot believe the difference in my stability and strength, as well as just overall happiness with my fitness level. I love that they are always pushing me just a little outside my comfort zone, viewed me as an athlete before I saw myself that way and truly treat each person with respect. After my awful experience at Lifetime, and feeling like just another number in their massive system, I feel like I've found a health-family that really cares about me. All the hearts and I would recommend them 1-million times over!

I had to wait 60-90 days to give a fair gym review and here it is. Well, it's day 64 and I have reached my body fat percentage goal of 12% just like I had told Nate Langley I wanted to do when I came in to get involved. Lost 10.5 lbs and 5.1% Body Fat in 64 days (9 weeks). Good for me, but what about you?

No matter what your shape going in I assure you the rectangle doors in the entryway are large enough to accommodate. There are two of them so you get a rep of low rows on each arm before to even get checked in for a killer workout. There are at least four different workout options when you get in: Weight Loss Solutions (WLS), Strength Solutions (SS), Fitness Solutions (FS), DIY (Full Access Room). For the purpose of the review I'll only talk about WLS and the coaching part which is the basis of the AFS concept.

The coaching like I said is the base and what makes AFS different. What is it and what do you get? A road map and a backseat driver. Jk. You get a personal trainer at you disposal for less than half the cost of what I would say is average cost, which doesn't include "trainers" at the purple and yellow gym because, well, their not as qualified.

"The road map" - You meet with the trainer (My Trainer is Jared Freedman) initially for a consultation and then regularly at intervals as needed. For me personally I took the upgrade option initially and did something where I was recorded on the iPad instead of the included initial screening. The point is you get evaluated to find your starting point. Are you starting in Rochester Hills or Houston, TX? Once your done with that it took maybe a couple days and I got my physical training plan for 16 weeks. Everyone is different so that's what happens in general. Your training plan may be of a different duration.

"The Backseat Driver" - So your off and running or jogging or walking or crawling, whatever you fitness level is and the first day your phone pops a notification reminding you you have got a passenger. There is an app for this. It's a very basic app with a message feature to reach out to your coach (trainer) but the one feature I want to highlight is the "tattletale" function. Everyday you get asked if you acheived your daily goal. Ie, did you drink enough water or did you get moving for 30 mins, etc. And on Sundays once you hopefully answered yes to reaching your goal it asks a few more questions about your week. It's simple yes or no answers but novels like this writing work too.

WLS: It's a High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) class. Best 45 (Really 60) mins of the day! Thats why I go early in the morning before work like it's my job. I would do a full write up of the system but they offer a free class. It's like a picture speaking 1,000 words but instead of words it's drips of sweat.

Time to finish this pep rally with some shout outs. Nate was my second impression of AFS after seeing the pickup truck in the neighborhood for like a year and telling myself about how I need to go check it out. I'm not sure who was more pumped that I was getting involved with AFS. Haha. Can tell why he is the "welcoming team manager" because he is definitely a motivational speaker. Everytime I see him it's positive affirmations. Jared is my coach and the video model you'll probably see at some point doing high knees in WLS like an Olympic athlete. Always get a message back quick when I message him and the responses are always knowledgeable. You'd think we go way back with the welcoming reception he gives when I see him at AFS. I love Eileen and her WLS class in the mornings. I have never met anyone with such positive vibes at 5:55 am. She has pushed me waaay harder then I would ever push myself at any time of day to a HIIT class. She has an awesome mobility class too that would be awesomer if it was offered at different times of the day.

Every person here knows you by name. They customize your workouts based on what you want to work on. They show you how to do things properly then leave you to it.

The workouts are well planned and difficult. Highly recommended. These people know what they are doing.

This place is amazing! Staff is extremely supportive in your endeavors when you start. It can seem insurmountable when you initially start, but the staff is welcoming and makes sure you are actually progressing with whatever your goals are via periodic 6 week evaluations.

Wounld't consider going anywhere else at all.

Pricing is good and fair as well looking to all the benefits they offer!

Applied fitness solutions is not like any gym I've ever gone to. The people who lead this place welcome you in like a family, commit to pushing you to be the best but always encouraging you to enjoy the journey. There is a healthy mindset here, every workout is extremely challenging yet the joy in this place makes it all worth it. The accountability they provide is what has kept me on track and their friendly support has created a very warm community that I'm honored to be a part of.

I love working with AFS personally and professionally. As a clinician treating muscles and skeletal problems all day long, people hurt themselves in the gym, often times not knowing why nor how to correct the problem. Their coaches are wonderful with communication, modifying any exercise(s) or program based upon what I find is best for the client/patient, so their not dealing with 'revolving door' issues. I appreciate their scientific, evidence-based approach to their programs and coaching methods. Personally, I workout at AFS and love the individualized coaching and community feel you get from a small cross training gym, blended with the look, amenities, and cleanliness you get from a well-operated franchise gym. Not to mention, the very reasonable pricing structure. You cannot beat the value AFS offers!

AFS has exceeded all of my expectations when it comes to a gym. Their comprehensive approach to overall health and fitness is top notch. I'm not one for a gym environment, but AFS is the place to go. The staff is very knowledgeable and genuinely cares about each members success. The support and encouragement from all the staff is incredible. They understand that there is not one program or class that fits all--everything is customized to each individual client. The classes are challenging and fun and the facility is clean and very well managed. If you are looking to reach your health and fitness goals, visit AFS for a free class.

I have tried a lot of gyms around Michigan and this is one of the best! I love the personal aspect to this gym which I need for helping me achieve my health and fitness goals. I love the family community where I receive the guidance I need. Great place for working out

AFS Rochester is the best! The facility is great and everyone on the staff is committed to making sure each member gets the most out of their fitness program. I truly look forward to the time I spend working out at AFS Rochester.

If you're thinking about working out or just trying to get healthy this is a good place to check out. Knowledgeable and generally friendly staff. No pressure here but a lot of assistance to reach your goals. Costs aren't bad either.
