Trainers in Royal Oak

“I've never been able to force myself to work out regularly. With Exercise Coach, I've successfully bought in to the accountability of showing up at a scheduled time, twice per week for a short 20-25 minute workout for more than a year. This gym works for me and has contributed to improving and maintaining my strength, balance as well as cholesterol and A1C scores.“

“I'm now into my 6th week of training at MECA - Royal Oak and it has been everything I hoped it would be. The staff are all friendly, encouraging, supportive and informative. My dedicated coach, Austin, has developed a program that is specific to my needs and I'm already feeling the benefits. Bryan's (Nutritionist) integrated nutrition program has been instrumental in ensuring I'm fueled for performance and recovery. I wanted a program that would teach me a new way of training, challenge me and hold me accountable to my goals. This program has done exactly that. I highly recommend MECA.“

“If you are a weight lifter looking to mix things up, I’d check out the classes here.My wife has been going to classes and personal training here for years. I recently started going with her to some classes and loved it.I’m a very “old school” lifter. I workout with heavy weights training 2-3 muscle a session and one of my favorite movies is pumping iron. I also enjoy running but never tried a circuit class.The circuit is really fun. I’d recommend not being afraid to modify things or not do every exercise. You can still get a solid lifting routine in if you tweak things, but the real benefits is it’s like smashing lifting and cardio together, so you get a great calorie burn compared to normal lifting. They also don’t yell or push you in odd ways which I appreciated (Thanks Valerie!). I expected the trainer to yell to go faster, harder, etc but no they just encourage you.If you are more an old school lifter like me. I’d recommend supplementing your schedule with 1-2 circuit classes a week. I burn about 600-700 calories per class and get a very good workout. Just give yourself 3ish classes to adjust, I’ve been lifting over 20 years and I was shocked at the amount of variety/moves I’ve never done.They have a 3 class for $15 special for new members. I’d encourage the owner to keep that special, since I think you need a few classes to get the hang of things.Also the place is super duper clean! Really like Retrofit and I think its great supplement for those into weight lifting.“

“I started practicing yoga in 1970. Many years, schools and teachers later, I met Chris and have benefited from his teaching more than ever before. He brings wisdom, devotion and careful attention to each student in his presence. With his guidance my practice has deepened in every respect. As a huge side-benefit, the significant scoliosis pain I had when I first came to him has been greatly reduced. I am grateful!“

“I completed life coaching with Dr. Bill. Through different assignments and his holistic approach to life coaching, I gained many practical tools to better handle whatever life throws at me compared to before. I highly recommend Dr. Bill as he is a highly qualified and kind soul!“
