Detroit Body Garage

This is the best gym I’ve been to! Every coach is wonderful and ready to help if you have questions or need help. They challenge you without it being intimidating or too intense. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming. I love that there are classes all day, every day to fit my schedule. It’s nice to see familiar neighborhood faces too.

Great place for group fitness at any level. Coaches and staff are knowledgeable and will guide you as a beginner and challenge you to try harder as you get more comfortable. Extremely welcoming and inclusive space. Highly recommend!

Terra, Geo, and the rest of the coaches at Detroit Body Garage are the best! They offer such fun, varied classes that push you to be better. At every class I’ve taken, they’ve gone out of their way to explain and adjust the workout for every different level, so you never feel like it’s over your head. Such a welcoming place to workout with an amazing sense of community.

A "good" gym is different for every person, but what makes DBG so great is that they work incredibly hard to deliver exceptional training for anyone who walks through the doors! You will not regret taking classes here!
A huge array of classes, online and in person, and incredibly engaged, enthusiastic coaches that want everyone to get as much out of the experience as they can!
The owner is a Detroit resident and incredibly passionate about the community, with regular, free community workouts being hosted here! Sometimes followed by an ice cream truck!

Terra Castro is hands-down one of the best trainers in Metro Detroit and she has assembled a team of top notch coaches that make Detroit Body Garage more than just a gym to work out in, but a true community.

You will be welcome at any age, size and fitness ability. If you ever need modifications, they are excellent about working with you to find what works.

The price is unbeatable and the quality of instruction is top notch. You will get a fantastic workout, at whatever your level of fitness. I recommend Detroit Body Garage enthusiastically!

First time feel comfortable at a gym band seeing results within no time.

Detroit Body Garage is INCREDIBLE. Every single coach there is welcoming and extremely knowledgeable. They go above and beyond to accommodate every students needs and they are an incredible gathering place for the community. Would give 10 stars if I could!
If you need a great workout and a wonderful community check out a class. You won't regret it.

Detroit Body Garage is much more than a gym, it's a community builder. Terra (the owner) works with each member of the gym to find what they need, what they want, and how they can achieve it. All the coaches are focused on helping you become the best version of yourself, and meet you were you are in that process. After over a year of going to DBG, I am still excited and energized every time I show up. Thank you!

I’ve never gone to other gyms because they feel very intimidating but this summer me and my kids have been joining the owner Coach Terra, in the Firebirds class. We always feel so welcomed and valued upon arrival, it feels like a family!! Coach Terras drive and passion not just for her business but also helping people of all body types, experience or ability to feel empowered, strong and capable is truly inspiring and motivating. I always leave time with Coach Terra feeling stronger physically and encouraged to continue leading a healthy life!!
i also found the DBG app helpful to view the calendar of classes and to easily register and pay for them. I like the variety of class options as well!! Definitely a gym to check out if you’ve felt intimidated by gyms in the past or just need guidance in your gym experience!!

Love Detroit Body Garage since the day they opened. Amazing owner and coaches. Love seeing Coach Ruth Olson and the family s awesome story. I live 45 minutes away snd it is well worth the drive to be in the company of such supportive professionals. Continued success to you all.

The best Detroit gym! The classes are amazing, always different and energizing. The trainers are great about giving adaptations to make sure the workout fits you. Terra, the owner, and DBG helped me learn to love fitness again.

Alan’s Torque classes are the BEST! The workouts are dynamic, challenging & you leave every class with a sense of accomplishment. Alan is such a supportive & approachable coach — he really goes out of his way to ensure you have the correct form & understanding of the movements.

It is difficult to write a review about a gym; Exercise can look like, and mean, various things to ranges of individuals. In the few sessions I have attended at the Detroit Body Garage the staff has been knowledgeable, organized, and most of all, welcoming. For me, it has been excellent to see an owner that fosters care and appreciation in the community, all while creating workouts that are upbeat and engaging. I am confident that whatever your exercise need, those at the Detroit Body Garage will not disappoint.

This place helps you grow. Mentally and physically. Coaches are professionals who take care of you, train you and follow up with you. The community is so important in this place, you can find motivation and encouragement. It’s an amazing experience that I have been having throughout my continuing membership for at least 3 years now. Thank you for making our community stronger and healthier ♥♥♥♥♥

I've been trying to find the perfect gym for years since moving to Detroit. I've tried just doing barre, yoga, general gym memberships etc. to no avail. I'm a busy small biz owner and needed something quick and effective to improve my health physically and mentally with physical results, while also feeling like I'm contributing in my community to better other small biz owners as well.

Terra (the owner) is incredible. Her spirit and dedication to helping our community in West Village is crucial to our city's well-being. She also is such a positive energy that after class I can genuinely say my day is significantly better from starting it off with her classes! My body is also changing and doing things I never thought possible. I legit did 16 full push ups today twice in a row and a month ago I could barely do 8.

She's opening a bigger location soon and we are all so excited!!! She also has very approachable and reasonable prices for her classes and memberships and offers family packs (2 people related or unrelated) to save on cost and make exercise attainable in our community.

Great variety of workouts and wonderful coaches. I always get a good workout and I am seeing the difference. All the coaches have a great attitude and balance between encouraging and explaining. Good music helps too.

Top-notch training facility - with heart & soul. I’ve known the owner for years; she not only lives & breathes the philosophy of movement + community, but her whole team is exceptional. Work(out) hard and see positive results - not just with your body but your mindset & outlook, as well. Highly recommended!

This gym is a great way to get a workout in without worrying about form or difficulty. The trainers are attentive, there’s a range of modifications offered to make things easier or harder, and the workouts are always different and new. Highly recommend!!

I absolutely love Detroit Body Garage, not only for what the coaches do, but also for what it means to the community. Coaches and owner are caring and patient, and I leave feeling more powerful than when I arrived. It’s the favorite part of my week.

I have taken two really great classes at DBG - one with Coach Terra and one with Coach Anna. Both coaches created a welcoming environment for a newcomer, providing guidance to keep all attendees safe and encouragement/motivation to ensure everyone maximized the workout for themselves. I especially appreciated the ability of both coaches to balance a structured, prepared workout with the opportunity for individual choice so each person in class could meet their individual goals - while still working out together in a group environment. Another aspect of DBG that I really appreciated was the COVID precautions and safety measures that were in place. You can certainly feel that this business is rooted in community care and togetherness, and they welcome newcomers with open arms.

I first tried DBG at the recommendation of a close friend who has been going to this gym for a couple years now. It has been incredible to see the positive impact DBG has had on not only his physical health but also his mental health and his spirit. I truly believe that the combination of exercise and community DBG offers made it possible for him to thrive throughout the pandemic.
