“The Best Decision for My Health – MECA Changed My Life!

I wasted years working out in the gym, hurting my knees and back, not knowing exactly what to eat or how to eat. I watched tons of YouTube videos and even hired a personal trainer at my local gym, but I never got the results I wanted. My cholesterol levels were elevated, and my blood sugar was in the pre-diabetic range. My doctor even suggested starting medication to lower my cholesterol.

Despite walking 4-5 km every day and doing everything I thought was right, my health was declining in my mid-30s. I felt frustrated, exhausted, and disappointed in myself. That’s when I decided to join MECA for personalized 1:1 training and nutrition guidance.

At first, I was skeptical-I had already spent so much time and money on fitness programs, personal trainers, and diet plans that didn’t work. But I decided to take a leap of faith, and I’m so glad I did. Within just a few weeks, I saw real progress that I had never experienced before.

After just four months of training at MECA, I can confidently say this is the best place in town if you want real results in months instead of years. I reduced my body fat from 25% to 17% and gained 4 pounds of muscle within the first 8 weeks. That was an incredible achievement for me!

A huge thank you to my personal trainer Mike (Michael) and my nutritionist Bryan. They worked together to create a customized training and diet plan tailored to my body, my goals, and my health conditions.

Unlike the one-size-fits-all plans I had tried before, MECA’s approach was entirely personalized. If I hit a plateau or struggled with something, Mike and Bryan adjusted my plan to keep me progressing.

I was always cautious about supplements, but Bryan understood my health concerns and guided me with the best nutrition and supplement recommendations. All I had to do was show up and follow their plan -no more second-guessing my workouts or diet.

MECA’s training approach is incredibly efficient and effective. I used to spend 1.5 hours, 5 days a week at the gym with little progress. With Mike, I spent 50% less time but saw better results in muscle gain, fat loss, and overall health.

Mike was simply exceptional. He was 100% focused on my form and movements during every second of my training. He wasn’t distracted, wasn’t looking at his phone-he was truly present, pushing me beyond my limits safely.

Some of the exercises were so simple yet incredibly effective. I was shocked at how much I could accomplish in just an hour with the right approach.

More than just looking better, my overall health transformed. My knee and back pain gradually disappeared, I started sleeping better and feeling stronger than ever, my cholesterol and blood sugar returned to optimal levels.

When I did my blood work after four months, I was amazed. My cholesterol and blood sugar levels were right in the center of the normal range-without medication.

What really sets MECA apart is the atmosphere. It’s not just a gym. it’s a place where people truly care about your health and fitness, and you feel motivated every time you walk in.

I never felt alone in my journey. Mike and Bryan were with me every step of the way, helping me navigate challenges, making adjustments, and ensuring I stayed on track.

Beyond the physical changes, my confidence and mental well-being have improved. I walk into rooms with more energy and self-assurance, knowing I’m in the best shape of my life.

Training at MECA may seem expensive, but in reality, it’s worth every single penny. The amount of physical pain, mental suffering, and medical bills you can avoid by investing in proper training and nutrition is beyond imagination.

If you’re thinking about joining MECA, take the leap-you won’t regret it. This is h“

“8/4/2025 5*
I only started about a month and a half ago, but I've had experience with other boxes before, and this one takes the cake. In this past month, I've tried to meet as many coaches as I could and attended a variety of time slots to get to know the other athletes. Every one of them is good people.
Programming is awesome and challenging.
Coaches are aligned yet offer a variety of coaching styles (all of which I appreciate for different reasons), and injury prevention is shown to be a priority through both programming via thoughtful post-MetCon exercises and the coaches' quick critical thinking for scaling, empathy for knowing how we'll probably want to push ourselves further than we should, and encouragement for when we might have to do less than we want. Additionally, I'm seeing a lot of HWPO-type programming, and Mat Fraser is no-joke one of my heroes. Coaching and programming strongly exceeded my expectations. 5*
Facility is very clean and the equipment is all in good working condition.
For a smaller, local box (as opposed to those giant facility ones), I was surprised to find an AssaultRunner, SkiERG, and GHD as well as stocked showers. At least three ropes! At least two high ring pairs! Aesthetic is pretty cool to me. North and East facing windows are perfect for catching that sunrise and not baking in the evening. Facility and equipment exceeded my expectations. 4*
Classes and fitness community are great vibes.
I know that this is not entirely within the business's control, but I would be remiss not to mention the culture that they have shaped here. All the other athletes are encouraging and friendly. People seem to care about one another, and I truly felt welcomed without any judgment. From jumping between different classes at different times, both the coaches and the other athletes really make it hard for me to choose a favorite class to attend, which is really a good sign imho. Classes and fitness community greatly exceeded my expectations 5*
Extra Credit: Ethical Business Practice and Community
As much as a I am intrigued to see state-of-the-art super-facilities with all the latest tech on a massive scale, I will almost always prefer the smaller local business that both knows the community it's born in and also continuously gives back to that community. I came to this box knowing from its mission statement online that it was an inclusive space and, from its instagram, that it supports a diverse group of athletes. I later learned about how much it gives back to the community with its accessible CrossFit Kids program and donations it puts forth for the nearby school all while shaping our next generation to be upstanding empathic individuals. Additionally, as a member of the LGBTQ community, it mattered immensely to see that they still did an OUTWOD and contributed to protecting LGBTQ members and LGBTQ youth. This is a large part of why I feel safe in this gym. Core City Crossfit also offers a SoberWOD that I believe is free, and while I have not attended, I strongly believe there is immense value to this program and, to be frank, its mere existence has subconsciously already shifted my alcohol intake to much healthier habits; not even my doctor has been able to make such a noticeable difference. Bahaha! Lastly, I don't know if this gets much recognition, but this box has a monthly email newsletter that I actually read through and thoroughly enjoy. That's just a me-thing, but I love it. Ethical Business Practice and Community greatly greatly exceeded my expectations +5*
Overall 5* Thanks, y'all! <3“

“My trainer is Tae he is so patient and understanding, he keeps me going even when I want to stop I'm glad I have had him to add to my weight loss journey“

“One of my favorite locations to go to. I was only there temporary but the lady who works there (golden hair I think, always in a ponytail) is amazing!! She is one of the most sweetest person I ever met at a Planet Fitness. She literally goes up and beyond!! She deserves a pay raise!“

“relentless pursuit is amazing best gym in troy
equipment - 10
cleanliness - 9
community - 100000
privacy - 10
aesthetic of place - 100
really cool gym good ownership recently has been super clean love this place probably the best powerlifting and general gym in troy, they got a ton if stuff

The thing that i love about this gym, is that the community here is genuine. You won’t meet as dedicated and passionate lifters at another gym in the state, the ownership doesn’t care about solely making profits, they want the gym to be friendly, functional, and a community.“

“LBS is the best! Work outs are FUN and always changing. I love every single instructor. They play the best music and the studio lighting is great. They have also been amazing helping to make adjustments for working out during pregnancy. I trust them completely and will be anxiously awaiting getting back post! Can't recommend Kelly and her team enough!“

“Graham and his team are the best in the business. We don't realize how fortunate we are to have a facility and trainers like OmniKinetics in Michigan. Do yourself or athlete a favor and check them out.“

“8/19/25 Still a great place to come light traffic in the early afternoon.
6/9/25: Update - I have raised the rating from 4 to 5, I have been going for over 3 months now and it has continued to be a friendly place that is well maintained.

I have read a lot of reviews and was concerned that the gym was going to be dirty and the aerobics machines were going to be offline. That was not the case I have been going there for a week and all the aerobics machines except for one treadmill were up. Of the steppers they have six three had service coming and everything else was running. I do not use the locker room so I can't speak to that but the rest of the facility was very clean some of the equipment is older and that is evidenced by rubber grips that are worn but in general it is a very nice gym. In addition the staff at the front is very friendly and very helpful.“

“This facility and the staff deserve a very high review. My wife and I have been attending for about 10 months now and our senior citizen lives are much better for it: physically, mentally, and socially.“

“I have had a membership at BZ for many years and have always enjoyed hours of naked play. Recently I had an experience which warrsnts special acknowledgment. Suffice it to say that on my most recent visit, after checking into the room assigned, I needed to switch rooms due to a minor technical issue (the television). The owner was very accommodating and assigned another room, gave me the appropriate key and asked that I bring back the original room key once I had moved my belongings to the new room, which I did. Good outcome, right?

When I prepared to check out I discovered that the jacket so had worn upon arrival was missing-yes, wallet car key, house keys…After my initial panic I recalled not having moved the jacket when I relocated my other belongings. You can imagine my relief when, after explaining my predicament to the desk clerk, I was informed that
Indeed my jacket had been turned in with all of my belongings, and had been safeguarded for me to claim. Crisis averted!!!

Thank you BZ for all the M2M action for the professional management of the club. Keep up the good work!!!“

“Big thank you to Stacy for being able to get me and my friends in today. Came out of state and didn't find our gym here but she made it happen. Thank you again, Stacy!“

“Been here for a few years. New remodel is super nice! Staff is laid back and helpful. No idea why they didn’t remodel the locker room with the new look though. Definitely needs an update it’s from the early 2000s all original.“

“Alternative to our preferred LA Fitness on VanDyke after they closed. A bit more compact. Not as many free weights in the training area.“

“This place is clean and everything is in working order. Matt the club manager is super kind, helpful, and respectful. He should be promoted. This club is my new favorite club. Has a great working sauna also.“
