The Gym Traverse City is a haven for dedicated lifters and bodybuilders. Equipped with a wide range of functional equipment, including old-school metal plates and quality powerbars, this gym provides an ideal environment for those serious about their fitness goals. The knowledgeable trainers on staff have a loyal following of regular customers, and the atmosphere is undoubtedly hardcore. While it may not be fully equipped to cater to the needs of power/Olympic lifters, it's an excellent choice for powerlifters and bodybuilders. The gym also offers unique resources, such as virtual reality headsets on the treadmills, making it an attractive option for those looking to take their fitness to the next level. With its knowledgeable staff, functional equipment, and motivating atmosphere, The Gym Traverse City is a top choice for those committed to their fitness journey.
If you're new to the area, or just stopping by, you might check out some other places and not find what you're looking for like I did, but especially if you're a dedicated lifter, the Gym is where you will end up. This is the only gym in town that I would classify as being genuinely equipped, and while some of the equipment lost it's clear-coat a couple years ago, everything functions at all times, I have never seen something "out-of-order". I haven't used their services, but in speaking to the trainers on staff, they're all very knowledgeable, and they all have that hallmark sign of a decent trainer - lots of regular customers. The atmosphere is hardcore, no bones about it. The strongest men and women in Traverse City train at the Gym.
We went to The Gym TC on a day pass on the NYE holiday. They quickly responded to my FB message regarding hours and day-pass cost ($15).The gym seemed geared toward bodybuilders and a social media-inclusive environment (i.e. Colored lighting). My partner and I as powerlifters, appreciated the old-school metal plates and quality Elite FTS Powerbar. We did have trouble finding plates; it appeared many of the 45s were taken in the squat racks which made it seem there weren't many plates in the gym. From what we could tell, there were two bench presses and two squat racks. We did not see any deadlifting platforms/space.Overall, The Gym is good for us and other powerlifters...read full review
I transferred from Planet Fitness to The Gym, and I have already noticed a change in my body. I transferred one month ago and use all the resources at The Gym. I appreciate the permission to use a virtual reality headset on the treadmills. If you haven’t transferred to The Gym, from planet fitness, I highly recommend taking action now.
