Fantastic experience: I started going to GRIP six months ago to help rehabilitate my leg with a knee replacement. The trainers, Brad and Evan, have not only helped strengthen the leg with my replacement knee but also helped strengthen and align my entire body. They are prepared with excellent programs and always right on time to start and finish. They keep me disciplined with exercise as well as diet. I highly recommend GRIP for anyone looking to improve their overall physical health.

Fantastic experience: GRIP is a unique place with a comprehensive focus on physical training and nutritional coaching. I highly recommend GRIP for anyone wanting to take the next step in their wellness journey.

Fantastic experience: Amazing facility and Mitch is such a wealth of knowledge. Great results. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I have broad range of experience working out with different personal trainers. I can say, without hesitation, thar the staff at GRIP is the most knowledgeable and dedicated training staff I have worked with over my 30+ years in working with private trainers. Mitch and his team take a comprehensive view to fitness, focusing not only on strength, cardio, and flexibility, but also on diet and mental health aspects of a healthy lifestyle. Each of the trainers is extremely professional and personal, and also very knowledgeable when it comes to proper technique and training methods. The facilities are also extremely well lit and clean, and the range of equipment rivals any other larger facility. Overall, GRIP is a fantastic resource in Grand Rapids, and I highly recommend their services.

Fantastic experience: I started with Grip 6 months ago to build muscle. It has been FANTASTIC! The trainers are experienced and knowledgeable. They know how to push you just enough to get max benefit. If you have decided enough is enough and you want to get in shape the right way…. Give GRIP a try!

Fantastic experience: When I first walked into grip in late September I was 6’8” and 408 lbs. At the beginning of February I came in at 342 lbs. Thanks for everything Grip has done for me so far. Evan is a really great trainer and with the current program we’re really pushing boundaries. By the end of it the progress is going to be incredible. Even my progress thus far has been incredible and I can’t wait to see myself a year from now. Every single member of Grip’s staff is so kind and it’s touching that they take the time to do stuff like remember my name or give me pointers on foods to eat or stretches or even just form improvements on exercises. But Evan is a different breed. He’s kind and I can tell that he believes in the work I’m doing and is constantly there supporting me. Not only do I look forward to each and every one of my workouts, even after I’m absolutely destroyed after the last one, I’m pumped up and excited to come in for the next one. It’s a highlight of my day, week, month, life whenever I enter your gym. So I just wanted to say thanks for everything so far and I can’t wait for the next time to I get to push past my limits and see what this body can really do.

Fantastic experience: I couldn’t find the sixth star. It is impossible to overstate how much of a positive impact GRIP has had on my life. It’s more than a gym. GRIP is a community where I’ve learned the skills to become a more well-rounded person, focused on maximizing my potential in all areas of my life. Mitch and his team have made me healthier, more focused and somehow, even better at my job. I’ve learned how to eat, how to sleep, how to workout and how to best care for myself. The positive downstream effects that GRIP has had on my health, career, relationships and overall outlook on life can’t be measured. If you’re looking to become the best YOU, you can be, I’d start with a call to GRIP.

Fantastic experience: Great trainers and atmosphere. Always have fun working out here and I always learn something new.

Fantastic experience: Simply the best gym I have been to. I’ve spent over 20 years weight training and working with personal trainers and no one comes close to this place. If you have a goal, you will 100% meet it here.

Fantastic experience: GRIP center for personal training is beyond amazing! They have professional, knowledgeable, compassionate, and proactive training that focuses on a personalized exercise plan just for YOU. By focusing on the whole person, GRIP helps you with healthy eating habits and even offers complete meal plans; they have it all! Each personal trainer helps an everyday person become their best self. I highly recommend GRIP to anyone looking to feel better and get healthy!

Fantastic experience: Grip offers an awesome personalized experience. Mitch and the team are very knowledgeable and friendly. Worked out for years at other local gyms and didn’t see any results. Look forward to my workouts at Grip!

Fantastic experience: I cannot tell how much I appreciate everything Mitch and the GRIP Center has done for my husband and I. After decades of yo-yo dieting and trying just about every weight loss program, Mitch provided the tools necessary for lasting success. The meal plans, grocery lists, and recipes combined the their workouts are second to none. I am in better shape now than I was in high school and have maintained a healthy weight for over two years thus far. My husband has dropped over 100 lbs. and is closer to his goal every workout. We highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I have been training at GRIP for almost 2 years now, and it isnt easy but the results and knowledge are awesome. The trainers seriously know their stuff and some of the technology they have available to give you more targeted information about what your body is doing, and the progress you are making is crazy! In addition to the staff, the other members/clients are all "in it to win it" and the overall vibe is unmatched anywhere.

Fantastic experience: GRIP center is the best kept secret in Grand Rapids. It’s top tier personal training. Mitch is a genius at what he does. Seriously.

Fantastic experience: I have been working out here for many years. I've the new place! Great atmosphere, congenial among trainers and I so appreciate the owner's focus on education and sharing new information!

Fantastic experience: Grip was recommended to me by a friend. From day 1 it has been professional and beneficial. I would suggest to anyone looking to commit to better health, give Mitch, and the team a call.

Fantastic experience: Mitch and all the trainers at GRIP have inspired me to live healthier. Not only does Mitch motivate me to improve my strength & physical well being, but his nutritional & lifestyle advice is invaluable. If you are looking for a fun & friendly gym that gets you results, I would highly recommend GRIP!

Fantastic experience: Here's the thing with gyms. You can go anywhere and workout. Here's what, for my wife and I, is different about GRIP than anywhere else we've been. We know that every investment of time and money we spend here is going to yield results. Because the team at GRIP is so knowledgeable and passionate about what they do, they custom tailor programs (including exercise, nutrition, lifestyle) for each individual. Nowhere else have we ever felt so confident that what we were doing was actually the right thing. Turns out riding the same elliptical every day for 45 minutes is not the key to success. Neither is strictly counting calories or in general listening to conventional wisdom. Who knew? Next is variety. Our individual program changes, our nutritional goals change, various individual and group challenges (if you want to participate) change. If you want to try something different you just ask. “Can we do bodyweight exercise today?” or “How can I change my eating schedule to get better sleep?” are fair game at GRIP. They’ll have answers and metrics to help you along the way. Community is big too. Whether it’s the GRIP team, the people there working out, or the online groups, you feel like you’re part of something. You feel like you’re successes and failures are shared and empathized by others. It makes you want to SHOW UP. It just feels good. It’s fun. Whether you are intrinsically or extrinsically motivated GRIP has you covered. Our GRIP appointments are something we look forward to, and when we leave we feel better (and smarter) than when we walked in. GRIP has given us the tools to meaningfully affect our long-term health and overall quality of life. There is no other product or service that has done the same for us. We’re grateful for the team at GRIP and their dedication to kicking our butts, filling our brains, and leading us down the right path. -Greg & Christine

Fantastic experience: HIGHLY recommend GRIP Center. I've been involved in athletics and fitness for three decades, and GRIP helped me find long-sought solutions to reducing my body fat, improving my nutrition and eating patterns, and pushing my training to the next level. I worked on my own to do an unassisted pull-up for so long and couldn't get it. But GRIP showed me what I was missing to accomplish that goal. Now my pull ups are like butta. If you are looking for the most knowledgeable trainer in the area--who tells it like it is without any sugar coating, see Mitch. Lucky for him, he's funny enough to make all the tough love manageable. He's data driven and pivots when the data feedback indicates something different is needed. His whole staff is fantastic and they make the experience feel personalized so that you get the help and the changes you want. Also no annoying long-term contract commitments. You stay because they deliver. I cannot put enough stars on this recommendation. LOVE GRIP!
