Best Weightlifting Area Lansing Near Me

Kacey Markarian: Great gym, great staff. Been here for almost two years now. Facilities are generally clean and while it can get very busy at peak hours, I have never had a problem with getting my lift in.

Connor Albrecht: Gym is not well maintained broken equipment is not an unusual thing here. Took over a month to fix toilet in men’s bathroom. If you’re a student at MSU you’re better off lifting at IM west.

Omar Canales: Horrible customer service, I was yelled at for having someone with m and not understanding the policy on guest, if it’s such a issue maybe they should hire someone for nights, not yell at high schoolers and make threats to intimidate them. Only reason I come here is because it’s 24 hr, but after that experience most likely will be dropping my membership due to the lack of customer service and the experience I had IF YOU CAN GO SOMEWHERE ELSE NOT WORTH IT EQUIPMENT OUT OF DATE, DIRTY, WORTH IT IF YOU CANT GET ANYWHERE ELSE ONLY

akagucciano: This Gym is opened 24/7. It has more of an old school feel to it(vs planet fitness). They have great equipment and heavier weight than Anytime Fitness or Planet Fitness. The staff was very friendly. Also, a good mix of students (MSU)and community folk.

Sam Ansaldi: Great facility! Friendly professional staff and a welcoming environment.

Laura Harvey: This place had a good environment and many machines to work with, but there are consistent struggles to find an open squat rack. Also I did not appreciate the customer service when a person said “theres nothing we can do about that” after charging an additional month after going in to cancel the membership in the month prior. Maybe this is common gym practice, but I was unaware that this was going to be charged again and I’m not in town to use it. Kinda unfortunate way to take money from their customers :(

Wireman Neo: Great, *great gym !! Especially for the price.

robert henderson: Good variety of weights and equipment, but as you can imagine from the location, it's very crowded. Or I should say it can get very crowded at peak times

Niccolò Seilo: Love this powerhouse and I’ve made so many awesome relationships here. The only thing missing is a straight pull up bar. They have pull up bars that are separated but not a single consecutive pull up bar anywhere. I want to practice my muscle ups but I can’t do this with the separated pull up bars at the squat racks at all. I strongly recommend getting one because I really want to perform this exercise at my favorite gym. I literally can’t perform this exercise without one and I’m surprised that a gym as good as this one doesn’t have a single straight pull up bar.

Jeremy Sawyers: Awesome staff, great place to work out. They have everything you need.

Nick Gargurevich: one of the best local gyms.

Ian Varquez: Gym is great for Bodybuilding and Powerlifting but....When I first moved to East Lansing this was the gym I chose to go to. Close to my apartment, lots of equipment, and Open 24 hours. But as time went on I realized this Gym was not meeting my needs. I like to compete in Strongman and Powerlifting and like to train functional strength. And I think this gym is missing some of that.The Functional Training Area is quite small and equipment wise is not that varied in my opinion. For someone who likes and needs to do farmer walks, and sled work there's not much space to play with. Sure there is a long strip where you "could" do farmer walks but depending on the time of day you go this varies if you can do it or not. This is because this long strip is between the Dumbbells and Machines and if its busy there are going to be people in the way and last thing I want to do is run over someone.Functional equipment that would be nice to have would be, Famer Handles, Heavier Kettlebells, TRX/Suspension ropes, a Log, sled, and an axel. I understand this gym caters more towards powerlifters and bodybuilders so I can't blame the gym for not having those sorts of things. But for me personally it is a turn off for me.The gym is relatively clean and I can't complain honestly but for some reason people just don't return their weights. I used to come early in the morning and weight would be everywhere, I know its not exactly the gyms fault for this but a little more of a push to get it's members to put their weights away would be nice.I have had trouble with some of the equipment, mainly the deadlift platforms and the incline benches. one of the deadlift platforms is not level and it's really annoying when setting up for the deadlift. I have also had the incline benches go down one level before starting a rep or finishing a rep and I think that can be really dangerous if I was in the middle of the rep. Everything else has worked as expected.I have honestly moved on to a new gym that better caters to my needs and if you like functional strength training that aren't as crowded when the MSU students come around M43 and the training Factories will fit your needs much better. Unfortunately through my own fault I am stuck to this gym through a 1 year contract so I am still paying for this gym when it just doesn't fit my needs.If I could sum up my review I would sayPros:24 hoursShowersLots of MachinesDecent amount of Squat Racks and Deadlift PlatformsFriendly StaffGood for BodybuildingGood for PowerliftingCons:Lacking in the Functional Area and Equipment DepartmentYearly contract AgreementsMembers can lack respectBusy during the school yearSome of the equipment could use some careNot Great for StrongmanNot Great for CrossFit

Lawton scarlett: Great place to workout, friendly staff, good equipment, plenty of cardio machines.

Basher Ghaleb: I feel like I got scammed for an extra $30 because of their bogus cancellation policy.

Arianna Paa: staff generally unhelpful - unable to answer questions about account and billing without manager, poor communication. good amount of dumbbells/equipment.

Merideth Michael: Powerhouse is disgusting. Many do not wipe the machines or weights down after using them, and the floors and mirrors have residue. Lack of compassion and customer service from the manager and workers. I am glad my membership ended.

Joel Van Douser: A very complete gym and a very help staff of trainers. Highly recommended for athlete's of any age, size shape or fitness level.

Wesley Nankervis: Plenty of cardio equipment and benches (for dumbbell and barbell), 3 or 4 squat racks, and a wide variety of machines. They also have 3 platforms for power lifting. All of it high quality. The staff is helpful and the people working out are, for the most part, courteous and knowledgeable. Been going here for well over a year and I’m very happy with it!

Tysen Matlock: I love powerhouse and the staff. They are always very helpful anytime I have a question. The gym is always clean.

Ahmed Alyasi: I don’t like the way when they renew my membership without asking me if I want to complete ( renew my membership) with them. I asked them for refund because I don’t want to renew my membership but they use “ system “ as excuse for no refund. I feel like I’m stuck in it.

Guna Sekhar Javvadi: I always wondered how this CrossFit or OTF or F45 trainings help, learned about CrossFit through a friend and there's no looking back. Joined ELCF (East Lansing Cross Fit) and I'm on my toes all the time. Keeps me motivated, healthy and hungry which I'm liking.

Jake Sloan: Great gym and atmosphere. Really enjoy the coaches and programming. The community atmosphere at this gym is extremely welcoming. This gym has something for everyone including seasoned CrossFit athletes and beginners.

Colin Shevlin: As someone who had primarily worked out at home for the past few years, I forgot how much I was missing the communal aspect of CrossFit. When we moved to the area I started up at East Lansing CrossFit and I am so glad that I did. Whether you are a seasoned athlete, or just starting out, the coaches take the time to understand you and your needs and are always there providing helpful cues and extra motivation. The programming has been great and has helped me get out of the rut I had been in planning my own workouts. The community has been even better. Its less of a struggle to get through a 5am WOD when you are working beside some familiar faces. If you have been on the fence about trying CrossFit, I couldn't encourage you enough to stop into ELCF!

Sean Hogan: I was away from CrossFit for over two years. This gym has an awesome staff, very welcoming and the programming has been great. Highly recommend. Glad to be back!

Bob Jurhs: ELCF is very welcoming, with good coaching

Riley Acton: The best Crossfit box in the Lansing area! Knowledgeable coaches, supportive community, and top-knotch programming.

Tiffany Morrow: Some great coaches! Getting better at my pull-ups 🤓💪🏼

Greg Whelan: Great Gym for a Drop-in!! Friendly group, good coaching. I will def. keep this place in mind whenever I am back at my parents!

Kevin Schoen: This cross fit, is actually just north of Haslett, MI. Never been to any other cross fit locations so it is hard to compare. It is a little darker (perhaps more light) than what I would prefer. Has a consistent amount of 6-12 people in the mornings. Generally only have been there in the morning.

Reza Beha: Has all the important equipment, though light on bikes. Drinking fountain has been down for maintenance for a few weeks, but they're providing bottled water. Great price, but very busy as are all good gyms these days.

robloxgamer aka roblox lover: Good

Marlena Klimkiewicz: The only way to cancel your membership is to physically go inside this location. Very inconvenient and poor customer service.

Glutz: Amazing gym. I always lose a lot of weight whenever I workout here because the drinking fountains never work. Im usually like 5 pounds of water weight lighter by the end of my lift. I start getting the spins though and see all these squiggly lines.

cynthia balcom: Energetic place

dano ley: So dope

Quinn Alexander: There are several pros and cons to this gym, but unfortunately, the cons outweigh the pros. Their drinking fountain is frequently broken and then they charge their members for water bottles. Besides having workout equipment, having a drinking fountain is an essential part of any gym. The least they could do is give the water bottles to their members for free. I’ve also noticed they often run out of paper towel (to wipe the machines down) and they don’t refill them. Same with in the bathroom. I also noticed the presence of ants in their tanning bed rooms. My last complaint is their class schedule. During the peak workout times (after work, around 5 pm), they’ll plan workout classes utilizing the only free/open areas in the gym. This makes the main areas even more crowded and essentially a nightmare to navigate. Good luck getting any equipment. I like this gym, but I don’t love it. There’s a lot of room for improvement.

Contractors 7 dotcom: Not a good intake experience. Left and spent way more elsewhere not to have to deal with unprofessional desk clerk...

Mr Handsome: It's decent but for sure overpriced.

Joseph Beasley: Very clean Gym!!Excellent staff + leadership!!

Mmeii Mar: It is a super wow place 💪🏻

santhosh k: I am a crunch member for a couple of months, one of the worst experiences I have ever had in my entire life... the fountain in the gym doesn't work for a week. when we ask when it's going to be fixed they become rude and suggest buying water bottles from their vending machine so that they can make more money... the staff was very rude and angry...absolutely pathetic people .. not humans just money making machines ...

Emily Tetreau: fix the bikes

Madison Roberts: Nice place for a workout when it’s cold outside

Kyle Taylor: Pretty awful experience if you try to go anytime other than the morning. Almost every machine has a wait or is broken. Also be prepared for groups of frat bros taking 30+ minutes at machines/squat racks. The gym isnt very large (compared to other crunch locations) and they will section off a huge portion of the gym for fitness classes during peak hours, making it even more crowded.

Joseph DeLisle: The only issue I have with this location besides the number of people who go between 3 and 7 pm is the DBs are not labeled correctly so the end up being all over the place. You can't tell if they are being used or if you can't find them.

Paul Stiles: I would give a negative star if I could. My daughter signed up for a trial month and cancelled I writing after 30 days. Since then I have been charged every month to my visa. I have disputed 9 fraudulent charges since. Visa said they even change a letter in their name to override the block I had on my visa.They an absolute crooks!!!! Go anywhere else.

Geoffroy Laumet: Good quality for a reasonable price

Heidi Estes: I’m new to a program like this and Chrissy is absolutely fabulous. She makes sweating fun! Her energy is contagious. Her detailed program has really helped my improve in all areas.

Thank you for all you do!

Stevie Rockwel: Chrissy is extremely talented, educated, passionate, and outgoing as a personal trainer. The environment she welcomes you in is completely judgement-free and instantly sets off a comfortable vibe the minute you walk in the door. If you're looking to have fun while working out, and improving your health, I would recommend her to anyone.

Jayla Borstler: Love the environment no judgement you can be who you are an train how you want. Chrissy is an amazing trainer. She’s very intelligent on workouts an diet an nutrition. She’s the only trainerI’ve ever had that honestly kicked my butt during a workout. I definitely recommend going hereIf your serious about a new you.

Evan Curtice: Christine worked really hard to build a lifting program for me and spent a lot of time focusing on what I wanted to achieve. It was still in my skill range but was really challenging and helped me a ton!

Susan Kim: I’m more of a strength trainer and was looking for a challenging but fun way to get my cardio in and the classes at F45 have been awesome! The staff here, especially Chelsea, is so accommodating and sweet! I am a busy grad student, but they are always super flexible with your schedule. Please try with a friend if you’re looking for a new fun workout!!!
