Gym is dirty but in a good way. I don’t know how to describe it. Great selection in terms of equipment. Could use more (working) treadmills.

The biggest issue is that they blare music throughout the gym. It’s so loud that it drowns out anything that you’re listening to with headphones or earbuds. Super frustrating and annoying.

Just joined this gym today. The moat straight forward ever no membership, pay as you go, clean, a little rugged so dont expect l.a fitness but this is bodybuilding all over it! Great environment it will be my gym as long as I am in the area! You can also pay cash so no need to have to opt out of a membership if you are done don't come back until you are ready!

Very clean, very nice inside and despite what the outside looks like it's very large. Clean locker rooms, plenty of space, the guy at the front during the night shift was a bit rude but aside from that I like it. I plan to get a membership!

Yes there are some improvements that could be made but you will never find a gym quite like this one. To begin, the price (for a non-chain gym) is unbeatable. You don’t need all the bells and whistles to have a fantastic workout here. The history the minute you step foot in the building is inspiring, photos of bodybuilders surround you as you workout. The people who go here have made the place become a second home to me, the people who work the front desk truly know who you are and make conversation with you- NOT because it’s their job. The equipment is old, raw, and real which to some could use improvement but to others makes this place so freakin unique. No gym will ever beat this one

Evening manager Stan is extremely rude. Is very condescending when rushing people out. Even told me that I was getting on his nerves for constantly being the last person out even though it was never after 10 PM (closing time). Turns lights out every night 10-15 minutes before gym closes forcing you to workout in the dark and wants all customers to be out 5-10 minutes before they actually close. Shower stall has been smelling like urine for about the last 1-2 weeks. I've seen the same shampoo and protein shake containers in various stalls for days at a time. I assume they don't clean them everyday, otherwise the same containers would not be there for days.

Equipment is not well maintained at all. Over 90% of equipment is fully functional however when something is broken it is down for an extremely long time. For example the cable fly machine by the water fountain was literally broken for over 1 year and 5 months. Could not believe it, but this is one example among many.

On a positive note the day time staff is much more friendly. They do have very specialized machines. Machines that isolate muscles that i have not seen at Planet or LA. All in all, if you pay for multiple months at once then their prices are comparable to LA, otherwise month to month is $40. The environment of the customers here are friendly and welcoming. I would come here with the mindset of getting in and out.

Majority of the gym is good, but I’d like to see some improvement. To name a few, we have the The out of order equipment, bathroom stall that has been out of order for months, the gym feels dirty at times, the weights are out of order/disorganized. Gym could be a great place, but there are some things that are much better at different facilities.

The Gym is still seemingly geared toward Bodybuilding as opposed to overall fitness. The equipment is a little dated. I would like to see fitness peices like warrior ropes, kettle bells, half swiss balls, and row machines added to the facility replacing some of the redundant weight machines that take up entirely too much space.

What I do appreciate is the history behind the gym, it being local, and a community staple for 40+ years. The intensity in the gym is motivating as well.

Good enough to get the job done. Is everything bright and shiny and new like Planet Fitness, hell no but nor is it suppose to be. You do not come to the Powerhouse gym for all of that, you come to get a good workout in and that's what happens at this gym people are working out and getting fit. There are not a lot of cardio machines and they do not have the newest most updated equipment but if you want to strength train or get in some basic cardio this place will do. The price is affordable almost $40 for one month $100 for 3 months so...

I visited this gym every morning for 4 days while in Detroit for business a month or two ago... Definitely worth the price of the 7-day pass. I wish more gyms offered a full offering of weight training equipment. People come ready to train and that motivation rubbed off on me and I was able to get some solid workouts in as a result. Staff and other members were all genuinely interested in fitness and training. It could use some new bikes and dumbbells... but that was the only negative observation.

This is a traditional gym with lots of weight training equipment... it doesn't pretend to cater to the cross-fit crowd. That's probably a good thing from looking at all the cross-fit fail videos on YouTube. I'll be back the next time I'm working in the area.

Ladies restroom always filthy... Exercise room needs to be shut down, floor thoroughly cleaned. It needs to be buffed and mopped. Same trash for days before its gone.Use some airfreshners. I know its a gym but come on Febreze is inexpensive.
I will say this....Staff is very nice and personable. Maybe hiring a professional cleaning crew would be idea. Its a historic gym, treat as such.

I expected way less before entering the gym. I'm thinking it's probably run down and battered equipment. It's actually a damn good gym. The Equipment is perfect for what I need. I was the type to say I could save a lot of money training in my own basement. But I didn't get any solid results. At $39 for one month I said bet it up, I'll give it a try. My first day at powerhouse I targeted areas I haven't felt since high school. i can feel my six pack again. Women exercising does help give extra motivation as well. And every man knows there's nothing sexier than women busting squats. I just keep quiet and stay my distance. Looking good girl.

Great place to workout! Plenty of weight, rarely will you need to wait to use equipment. This gym has the kind of atmosphere Planet Fitnesses advertises but fails to achieve. Truly a "no judgment" zone. Whether you are totally out of shape and taking the first step towards fitness or you are a bodybuilder or powerlifter who needs do 1/2 a ton on the leg press you'll fit in. I love the fact that if a person lifts a lot of weight, it doesn't look like they're hogging all the plates, nor does it draw attention of other members because they see little weight and big weight pushed all the time. Finally, it is worth mentioning this is not a gym to find a date. Men & women come here to workout and leave their make-up and dress to impress clothes at home.
