Powerhouse Gym Madison Heights

This is a great gym. Big enough where you have all the amenities you would need but small enough that people’s faces become familiar if you go regularly. The owner is amazing and takes pride in his gym. It is always clean and the staff is friendly. If I work late I feel comfortable coming alone at night if I so choose. The entrance is well lit and there are cameras around the gym giving me an added sense of security. They have new saunas in the locker rooms that my husband and I love! 10/10

Would recommend joining this location.

I could not recommend this gym more! Staff is extremely friendly and makes everyone feel welcome. The recent renovations are awesome. Every time I’ve been here, there is a staff member actively cleaning the equipment and facility. My ONLY critique would be to have a larger area for stretching/core work. Great gym to get a solid workout in and convenient selection of supplements to purchase.

If I could give a 10/5 I would. This is by far the best gym I have ever trained at. Frank and his team are the most professional and kindest people I have ever met. The gym is always clean and well maintained. The locker room is always looking and smelling clean. The overall atmosphere is welcoming to anyone and everyone who wants to workout. What I love most about this gym is Frank truly considers all of his members like his own family. I will never go to any other gym from here on out.

A great neat and very clean gym!
It’s hardly can be compared to El Cajon/ San Diego gyms!

P.S. a yellow towel and a bottle of water upon start🙃
I will highly recommend⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

My wife and I just went tonight to Powerhouse to register for new memberships through an insurance program. Frank was quick to greet us at the door and get us all set up with our memberships! He clearly explained all the rules and made sure we knew how to open the doors beyond staff hours. Frank is passionate about his business and it shows through the care he delivers to people he's never even met before.

Beautiful facility and very friendly staff! I got a day pass to access the gym while traveling and got a great workout in
The facility was clean, well equipped and well organized. I wish there was one closer to home for me

I use both the Madison heights and Troy gyms both 5 star. Clean,well managed and maintained

Very nice gym! You will have a great workout there is no doubt about it! Very clean, nice staff. Owner is a great guy too. Be ready to sweat and have a pump! 100% recommend.

I'm a competitive bodybuilder in the NPC (National Physique Committee).

Powerhouse Gym of Madison Heights has proved very helpful in both my off-season training and in my contest prep. The 24/7 access is a lifesaver during prep, when you often need to get in 2 or more workouts per day.

The equipment is scrupulously maintained. An example is the pulley stations. The handles are metal, which I strongly prefer to the plastic and fabric handles some other gyms have. But more than that, the moving parts are well-maintained and lubricated at all times. I belong to another gym in Livonia, and only about half of the resistance on their pulleys comes from the weight stack. The rest comes from friction, because the thing has not seen a drop of lubricant since 1985. No such problems at Powerhouse Madison Heights - all equipment is well maintained.

I also tend to use the Smith Machine for several exercises. My previous gym in Royal Oak only had one Smith Machine, and sometimes a guy would hog it for 45 to 60 minutes, doing his entire workout there. The Madison Heights Powerhouse has, I think, 6 Smith Machines. In all the years I've been going there, I never had to wait for one.

Everything is kept extremely clean and sanitary. The members are good about wiping down their equipment after use, and there are also hand sanitizer stations in the gym.

As a bonus, the dry sauna will take the chill out of your bones on those cold Michigan mornings, before you start your workout.

Great gym. Lifting here for 3 years and the new renovations are exciting.

I've been to a variety of gyms and this is hands down the best I've ever been to. Frank treats you like you're family. This gym is spotless, including the locker rooms and sauna. The members are friendly and all have a common desire in achieving a great workout and their overall fitness goals. You don't get 4 people standing around one machine on their cell phones like a lot of other gyms. There's sort of a no BS vibe which definitely appealed to me.

Edit: after writing my initial review below I received a call from the owner. He was very kind and politely explained that the reason that was given to me about the Sauna hours was incorrect. In fact the reason for the Sauna being open for staffed hours only has to do with how the insurance works. This reason I can get behind and understand. Since everything else at this gym is great I decided to change my review accordingly.

I recently joined this gym Specifically to use the equipment as well as the sauna. The problem is, I assumed since the gym is 24hrs that the sauna would be too. I was wrong. The sauna is only open during staffed hours, which doesn’t work for me because I typically work out late in the evening, so I never get to use the sauna, which was one of the main reasons I chose this gym. I asked why the sauna was closed and the person working the desk told me it was because they couldn’t trust people not to put water on the rocks when they are there, but what keeps people from doing it while they are there. The explanation doesn’t make sense and it just irritates me. Overall, besides the sauna disappointment the gym is well kept and has lots of good equipment and weights.

Had belonged to this g for a year before moving. I would say this is arguably one of the best gyms I have ever been to. It's not fancy but the amount of equipment they have is next to none. There are always benches and free weights open. They have three squat racks, a belt squat, and hip thrust machine. Also the ability to go whenever is a huge plus as well.

Overall this is a good, old school gym. Both the locker room and gym area are always clean. Good equipment, the free weights are in good condition, the TVs are tuned to sports and only sports, 24-hour access, friendly staff, and everyone at this gym are for the most part are friendly and easy going.

I just wish they had a little more room where you can do plyometric workouts like your box jumps etc.

Cleaner than any LA Fitness or lifetime. Random crowd, but that’s the character of this place. Frank treats you like family. These guys have been in business for decades Bc not only do they treat you like family, they offer a great gym at a fair price. Everything you need for a quick and efficient workout.

Best Gym around ! Super clean and the best machines , Cybex and Precor machines. Locker rooms are super clean as well. Friendly people and Frank the owner always greets you with a hello by name. Plenty of free weights and benches if you are into that. I can't say enough good things about this place.

Great gym, great equipment and spacious. Also a clean environment. One thing I would recommend is turning the heat up a little. It gets chilly in there

Great gym! Frank is always friendly and available. He makes sure the place is in tip top shape - very clean and organized!

I have been in this gym over 7 years is the best gym I canceled my membership today because I moved to a different city just want to say to Frank and his team thank you....

Absolutely love this gym. The facility is spacious and CLEAN, with more than enough equipment to accommodate class and open gym. The coaches are knowledgeable.
