Advantage makes it so easy to get started and maintain consistent strength training. I don’t like large gyms with lots of people and stimuli, but I haven’t found the motivation to strength train at home and could tell I really needed it as I approach 50. I love the size of the Advantage space, not too big, not too small. I love that there are a few other people there, but it’s not crowded. The trainers are so dedicated and helpful, they help me modify exercises when I’m struggling and encourage me to step up weight when they see I’m ready. Twice a week has fit right into my routine and I can’t believe how much better I feel living life with some strength!

I highly recommend Advantage Personal Training. They completely turned my life around. I am a 66 year old who has battled back issues for many years due to a past injury and now arthritis in my lower back. I came to Advantage at a low point when I wanted to be able to play with my grandchildren, but in reality I couldn't even turn over in bed without being in excruciating pain, and sometimes unable to get out of bed without basically crawling across the room. I was very scared to even start any kind of exercise or strength training program for fear of further damage to my back. BOY WAS I WRONG!!! With the help of my main coach, Amy, I am now in great shape! Playing with the grandkids, carrying around the smaller ones, sledding, carrying firewood, biking . . . Amy listened to my goals and looks at my current health and helps me each week through a program that challenges me and strengthens me without the fear of hurting myself. I come home from each session feeling stronger and my family is so proud of my accomplishments. To be fair, ALL the coaches are terrific, but most of my experience has been with Amy since I generally come for the late afternoon sessions. I highly recommend Advantage Personal Training!!

I'm in my 60's and stay in decent shape playing hockey once or twice a week, but hadn't done any kind of resistance training in probably a decade. I had done P90X twice back then, but that's hardly a sustainable, long-term option. I've been going to Advantage now for about 9 months and it is definitely something that I can make a permanent part of my health routine. The coaches (and Brian, the owner) are great. They tailor their approach to your goals and your workout to you as an individual, whether beginner or expert, going hard or just want a little exercise. The members are great and the atmosphere is welcoming and never intimidating. No one in a tank top carrying around a gallon milk jug full of water, dropping weights and making noise (okay, except maybe me on that last item). They give 2 week trial memberships...tell them I sent you!

Absolutely love Advantage Strength! As someone in my late 40s who hadn’t set foot in a gym in over two decades, I was more than a little nervous about getting started again. From the moment I walked in, that all changed—the staff is not only knowledgeable but also incredibly welcoming, making me feel at ease right from the start. The positive energy here is contagious, and both members and staff exude an encouraging vibe that always lifts me up. What really sets Advantage Strength apart is the small group atmosphere and the thoughtful programming. I especially appreciate the mix of mobility work and strength training, plus the genuine support from everyone around me. One of my favorite things is that I don’t have to think about my workouts—they’re planned out for me, with plenty of variety and challenge. All I have to do is show up and do the work, and I’ve seen amazing results. Since joining just three months ago, I feel like a new person—stronger, with better posture, fewer aches and pains, and just more comfortable moving through daily life. In a world full of flashy fitness gimmicks and quick fixes, Advantage Strength stands out as the real deal. Just consistent, proven methods that actually pay off. Joining has truly been life-changing, and honestly, my only regret is not signing up sooner! Highly recommend to anyone looking for lasting, meaningful results!

I love a lot of things about living in Ann Arbor… but being a member of this gym just might be my favorite part! I’ve been a member for about 8 months now and have been so impressed with the quality of everything Advantage has to offer. An incredibly welcoming environment with members ranging from seasoned athletes to exercise beginners, beyond friendly and knowledgeable coaches, and strength routines that are results-driven and customizable to meet members wherever they are in their fitness journey. Don’t sleep on this gym — it’s so worth their intro offers/programs to try things out — chances are you’ll be hooked!

I’ve been a member at Advantage Strength for just over a year, joining about nine months after major shoulder surgery. The expert coaching and supportive environment have made a huge difference in rebuilding my mobility and strength. The coaches are attentive, knowledgeable, and great at tailoring workouts to your needs. The community is welcoming and motivating—everyone here wants to see each other succeed. If you're looking for smart training and a positive fitness community in Ann Arbor, I highly recommend Advantage Strength.

Advantage knows how to create a workout with personal attention. Injury prevention and strength is important to me . Their Primal class is the BEST!
