Community Feedback

"I travel a lot for work and I’m always looking for gyms like this. Detroit Weightlifting was an awesome find and I loved my first session here. Seeing proper lifting platforms, bumper plates, quality barbells, and solid racks right away told me this place is serious about strength training. Great environment, great setup, and exactly what I look for when training on the road. I’ll be back next time I’m in Detroit."

"Dropped in for a tour of this incredibly refreshing location. My takeaway - like the Russell Center, this gym is a place to put in the work, where gains are made. Fresh & elite cleanliness with brand new equipment. I was lucky to visit in the afternoon when clients were pushing themselves as the sunshine came through an entire wall of windows. Inspired Detroit Weightlifting team. Respect."
