6 months and and a price increase later, STILL no locker rooms. Absolutely ridiculous. Either lower your prices temporarily or wait to transition spaces until you have all your ducks in a row.

Great gym. Excellent assortment of machines, free weights, and pulley systems. Slightly smaller cardio section.

Ownership is responsive and friendly. Membership costs are in line with similar gyms. Gym members are friendly. Gym is rarely "too busy" and you will rarely wait for any specific machine.

I am reluctant to write this review, but unfortunately have no other options and hope to get a response. I have been going to GR City Gym for over 3 years now and have never had any issues. Since the changing of locations, I have been unable to workout the past two mornings after the new year contrary to the claim that the gym is opened by 5:45. I was in the parking lot today for over 15 minutes and unfortunately could not wait any longer as I (and most others) have to work in the morning. I had tried reaching out via instagram because there is no email or phone number listed anywhere on the website and had nowhere else to turn. Instead of answering my questions on when the gym would be available in the morning, I was left on read and my membership has now been cancelled. I never wanted my membership cancelled but I guess that is easier than dealing with a customer who just wants to work out. I hope this problem gets resolved in the future and hope to get a reply as I have left 4 messages and tried to call with no success.

They moved locations and are advertising as 24 hours, but they are not open any time before 6 AM at the new location. They have read and ignored messages on IG asking if this will be resolved, and it hasn’t been resolved 2 days in a row.

We pulled up to the gym this morning for the second day in a row to a parking lot full of people waiting in their cars for someone to come unlock the gym for 20+ minutes and decided to leave in order to make it to work in time. Poor business practice for a 24 hour gym, they should be refunding January memberships.

$40 a month gets you this:

The smell of wet socks.

A broken door to the men’s bathroom.

Plates that don’t weigh the same.

Machinery that looks like a wolf attacked it.

The pole dancing room is a complete waste of space. Nobody likes it.

If someone offered me a lifetime membership here I would return it.

Sweat and Regret…

I will preface this review saying how I have legitimately enjoyed the gym, however its faults have grown too numerous.

Below are some of the grievances I have collected - these are not one-off occurrences but have instead been observed for months to years. Tl;DR this gym is disgustingly unkempt and a majority of the equipment is broken.

- the men’s bathroom has puddles of urine. This gym employees a cleaning service (ironic) but these stagnant pools have been left for weeks
- Mold varieties that would make a mycologist squirm
- Machine upholstery absolutely ruined
- Broken/unkempt cables (x3), broken chest fly, broken Viking press, broken smith machine, broken bench, crater in the free weight section, broken deadlift platform
- Entitled personal trainers
- Took 3+ years to remove broken equipment, it was shoved in the corner of the gym
- Subjective, but gym has poor layout
- Little to no ventilation (see mold comment)

This list is by no means comprehensive, and it should act more as a roadmap to improvement.

Grand Rapids City Gym is by far one of my favorite places to workout! Of all the gyms I’ve been to around Grand Rapids, none have had the equipment, personal service and easy access that City Gym has. The 24 hour access is perfect for my schedule. Jeff, the owner, is one of the nicest people I have met and is super engaged with all the members and loves to help any way he can. All the staff are super nice as well! Definitely worth checking out if you’re in the Grand Rapids area.

I first went here for a lifting class for women, I was intimated when I first walked in because everyone looked like serious fitness people and I'm just getting back into trying to improve my health. I loved the class so much that now I train with Lo and the gym is awesome. Everyone is so nice and helpful. No one is judgy which is so great when I feel like I don't always fit in there. Training with Lo has been awesome she makes me work hard, bur we always end up laughing so much that I never hate a minute of it.

I have been going to GR City Gym for a few months and getting Personal Training attention from Lo Osborne, who has been terrific in helping me reach toward some fitness goals. Besides Lo being awesome to work with and extremely knowledgeable (a real expert and professional), i have found everyone at the gym to be positive and helpful. the atmosphere is great, and i have really enjoyed my time there. I am glad to be going there and plan to keep it up. I am grateful that i tried out this gym and have the opportunity to work out there. thanks to everyone there who makes that happen every day!

10/10 this place rocks!

Tons of weightlifting stuff. Tons of dumbells up to 110 lbs. Four squat racks (and PitShark and LegPres). Has glute bridge equipment too. Tons of benches, SMITH machines, and cardio machines too. Honestly the list goes on and on and they're regularly updating/adding more. Big olympic mat with bumper plates for deadlifting too

Everyone here is super motivated and is really getting after it which definitely is a good vibe for a gym. Good range of super buff people and beginners, so it's a very welcoming environment for all. Staff is also awesome and you'll often see them lifting too

There's also a classroom/studio with wooden floors to do whatever you want there as well as another room with punching bags and room to do turf-based exercises (the turf is coming soon... carpet at the moment). Showers as well if you're on your way to work or whatever

The owner said he wanted to make the gym he always wanted.... and honestly he succeeded. This place has everything (except the bathroom runs out of paper towels sometimes haha)

Highly reccomend

Well, gyms opened back up. I met my trainer today with the intention of working out but upon entering the gym the front desk was completely dark. No one was working. Weights, and equipment were everywhere, mirrors were absolutely filthy (yes, drips, and spray spots from sweat I assume but who knows) and every single trash basket was overflowing with trash so that it spilled on to the floor. Oh, and a nice bonus, a toilet was clogged with nastiness and the bathroom was disgusting. The owner has been operating the entire time during the shut-down and clearly has no concern for safety or sanitary measures at the most basic level. I will be canceling my membership and will never set foot in there again.

Long before Covid the owner had a difficult time managing his business and keeping it clean & picked up and it has only gotten worse. I know he means well but good intentions are not what it takes to run a successful business.

This is the best gym membership I’ve ever had. Every regular is always greeting each other. The staff is always making somebody sweat. I’ve known the owner Jeff since my undergraduate days at Eastern almost a decade ago. You can get a great power workout in on the deadlift platform or with free weighs and barbells; or with machines and TRX ropes. Having 24/7 access also makes all the difference in the world as a city bartender. 25 out of 10 would recommend.

The owner Jeff is an amazing guy and absolutely jacked. Incredibly helpful and never afraid to spot. He's also insanely knowledgeable about anatomy and is helpful when you need to know how to build weak areas.

The gym itself is located just outside of the heart of downtown, but still the most convenient choice. The equipment isn't the newest, but it's all well maintained and slowly new things are being brought in. There's a large separate room for classes and etc that has rings and a punching bag, along with various floor weights for classes that can be used when no classes are in session. There's plenty of equipment for every muscle group, and I've never seen more than 15-20 people in the gym at its busiest.

The price is fair, at around 30~a month, and being 24/7, with staff 8a-8p(although you can usually see the staff and Jeff hanging around later).

Moved from planet fitness to here and haven't regretted it yet. The Grand Rapids City Gym is in a really nice location by the river on Monroe. It usually isn't too busy and has plenty of weights to use even during peak hours (around 5). It is nice to be able to get a workout in without having to wait an extremely long time. Not only that, the staff is very welcoming and seems to be more of a welcoming atmosphere then what I have seen at other gyms!

Now under it's new management team it has really grown into one the best gyms in Grand Rapids. The regulars are super welcoming to new comers and everyone is generally polite and willing to spot or let you work in on their machine.

10/10 would gym again.

GR city gym was a no-brainer to join. It’s 24/7 access, central location, unique setting, and commitment to continual improvement made me sign up within 5 minutes of walking through the door. I didn’t even need a trial. As time has passed, I have come to realize the beating heart of this place is it’s people. The staff and other members have become my friends and also the people I look to for motivation to push myself to be healthiest I have ever been. The gym isn’t just a place for fitness, it’s a place for friends and community. I am so lucky to have a place like this to go to.

This is the greatest gym of all time. Very welcoming and kind staff that are ready to answer any of your questions. I’ve never been happier to be apart of a gym than I have with GR Challenge.

Staff is super friendly, and the place is always clean. I love that they're open 24 hours. Jolie's personal training is a huge help if you're just getting started on a new healthy routine, she can give you lots of tips and encouragement (and also kick your butt). And I look forward to yoga with Tara every week!

I've been a member for over a year now. Love the feel of this place, brick interior walls with lots of windows. Very reasonably priced. Great fitness club to join, especially if you like to workout at lunch and work in Grand Rapids downtown. I've found the personal trainers to be top notch! People at the front desk are very friendly and make awesome post-workout protein shakes!

Rachel (Current manager) is doing a fantastic job at curating the gym to give as much variety/options to the members of the gym. I highly recommend anyone looking for a 24/7 gym to check them out.

I have never felt more at home in a gym. I have been attending for more than a year now after moving from Texas. I mostly go to the classes offered by the gym's coaches Rachel, Trish and Zach. They are motivating and push you to your limits, but at the same time teach you proper techniques. I have met some of my best friends in Grand Rapids by going to this gym and will really miss it when I have to leave!

I love the atmosphere here! It's never too busy, never have to wait for machines or equipment, etc. There are always personal trainers there throughout the day who are really knowledgeable and ready to answer questions. They have 24 hour access key cards too with a membership! Definitely my favorite gym in the Grand Rapids area.

Great gym. Honestly a fantastic gym and the dues are so cheap.. and gives you 24 hour access which I love. Most of their equipment is new and it never gets too crowded. Would definitely recommend this gym if you live in the downtown area
