Fit2Live

Fantastic experience: I started attending group fitness classes at fit2live about a year ago and love it there! The coaches are friendly and supportive and so are the other members - its such a positive atmosphere. I like the emphasis on quality of life improvements vs just numbers - on the weighing scale or in movements. My sleep is better, I can run more easily now and can lift heavier items(read my kid) without fear of throwing out my back. Thank you fit2live.

Fantastic experience: Hands down, the best gym in Ann Arbor! From my very first visit, I felt welcomed into an inclusive and supportive community that genuinely cares about every member. The personal training here is exceptional—professional coaches who are not only skilled but also incredibly caring, ensuring that each workout is both effective and enjoyable. The gym itself is always clean and well-maintained, creating a pleasant environment to work out in. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned athlete, the welcoming atmosphere and tailored guidance make it a perfect place to start or continue your fitness journey.

Fantastic experience: The personal training and small group training are perfect for anyone, no matter your experience level. The coaches are super professional, and they really help build your confidence. It’s a welcoming environment where you see real results. If you’re looking for a gym in Ann Arbor, this is the place to be!

Fantastic experience: Dropped in while in town for vacation, everyone was welcoming and the workout was awesome. Coached up and really took the time to make sure we knew what we were doing. A must stop while we are in town.

Fantastic experience: Friendly atmosphere, clean, and helpful coaches! Dropped in while visiting family and friends in A2. Hope to be back!

Fantastic experience: I joined fit2Live by chance.I wanted to find a gym for my husband and saw this gym and decided to join with him to support him. I liked aerobics classes and spin which I had been doing so weight training with heavy weights and barbells seemed quite intimidating but the staff at fit2live were so welcoming and supportive as well as the people working out that I felt very comfortable coming to the classes and working out. Now almost a year later I am feeling stronger and fitter than ever before. Love this gym❤️

Fantastic experience: I am another one of those "never CrossFit" types who has been proven incredibly wrong, I absolutely love my gym ~ Fit2Live. Since my first days with Brandon in foundations training to today where I like to go 5 days a week if I can, I've changed so much mentally and physically. The fitness we are gaining is incredibly wholistic and thoughtful and I always feel really balanced. I'm stronger in almost every aspect of the word and I have so much fun. I love my nooners and coaches Rob, EJ, Ryan, Krystal and Sharon have all been really impactful on my journey so far. If you are wondering if this place is for you? It is. It's for everyone. I love how diverse all of us are how there is a place and a space for everyone in every class I've attended. Thanks F2L fam - you're the best <3

Fantastic experience: Fit2live really changed my fitness journey! The community is amazing, the most supportive and friendly people you can imagine!

Fantastic experience: I had a great first class with Coach Brandon! Movements were clearly explained with helpful accessibility tips, and the workout was challenging but doable. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: An amazing facility and fun programming! Dropped in from Atlanta for a weekend class with a friend. Everyone was welcoming and coach Krystal was excellent! She assisted us with any questions we had and in finding the right scaling options. It was awesome to see many banners hung up in the gym to recognize members who dedicate a lot of time and energy. Overall, great experience and I will recommend this gym to others!

Fantastic experience: Dropped in from Atlanta, a friend recommended the gym- facility was awesome and coaching and staff was excellent! Very welcoming gym

Fantastic experience: Such a great gym! Great environment, amazing coaches, and very accommodating. Looking forward to popping back in!!

Fantastic experience: One of the best CrossFit gyms out there. Ryan and his coaches consistently set up great workouts with complete warmups, form coaching throughout class, and good vibes

Fantastic experience: They truly care about you and the environment is great.

Fantastic experience: Of all the Crossfit gyms I have been to around the US and across the globe, this is by far the healthiest and safest. Before we do a lift with a barbell, they break it down into separate movements and make sure we can do them correctly. Then we put it all together. Coaches circulate and give individual advice. Correct form prevents a lot of injuries and helps us get stronger. They alternate muscle groups each day, so you might do all your overhead lifts one day and the next day do different types of squats. This prevents a lot of overuse injuries. They always leave 5 minutes at the end for us to stretch as a group. Other places have mostly just expected us to stretch on our own, which most of us don't have enough patience to do properly (meaning the whole class just puts away our equipment and runs off after possibly touching our toes once). It's also a fun group with a very broad range of fitness levels from that giant Viking superman (anyone from that gym who is reading this knows exactly who I am talking about) to a nice woman I saw yesterday who was just starting to use the lightest barbell. It's a different workout every day, I have never done the same one twice, and you will never be bored. If I have one complaint, it is that they sell a bunch of protein powders and weird apparently edible substances in their snack cupboard. I like real, fresh food. But the gyms that sell real food do not offer anything like Fit2Live's Crossfit classes and coaching. I just love the place and I have real food at home and in my car.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym with fantastic members and coaches! Everyone is so welcoming and friendly. One of the best gyms I’ve tried. Would highly recommend to anyone in the area!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely loved dropping in here over the holidays! I’ve dropped in to many gyms over the years and have yet to find an experience quite like the one at Fit2Live. The facility is incredibly well kept, the coaches are very knowledgeable and the environment is super welcoming. The workouts are excellent as well! Definitely recommend trying it out and becoming a member.

Fantastic experience: I joined Fit2Live a few weeks ago after my previous gym abruptly closed. I had gotten into a good 4 day a week workout routine, so I was determined to find something quickly, but wanted to make sure it was the right fit. For me, a good gym provides challenging and versatile workouts, convenient class times, and a solid community of people who like each other and want to work hard. So far, Fit2Live has 100% delivered. It has everything I was looking for, plus more. I can see myself at Fit2Live for a long time. If you’re looking for the same, come check it out!

Fantastic experience: Professional, friendly and challenging workouts!

Fantastic experience: The best gym; the best coaches ; the best community. I ❤️ this place !

Fantastic experience: Great place to meet friendly people and get a good workout scaled to your capabilities.

Fantastic experience: Great CrossFit to drop in when in AA. Will definitely visit again. Coach Rob is great.

Fantastic experience: This was my first stop when I was looking for a new gym, and knew I didn't need to check out others. After one workout you can feel the sense of community, the attention from the coaches and motivation to keep improving no matter your current fitness level.

Fantastic experience: Tried out Fit2Live for the first time yesterday and couldn’t be happier! The coaches and members were immediately welcoming, the workout was challenging, and I’m going back for my second workout today.

Fantastic experience: At first I was afraid that Cross Fit was just a very bro-y environment, and while that is true in some gyms it is not for Fit2Live Gym. From the moment I stepped into the gym, I was welcomed with open arms by a community of individuals who were all there to support each other on our fitness journeys. The atmosphere at Fit2Live is truly unique. The trainers and staff go above and beyond to make sure everyone feels comfortable and encouraged. They are knowledgeable and always willing to help, whether it's answering a question about a certain exercise or just offering a word of encouragement. But it's not just the staff that makes Fit2Live such a special place. The members are just as supportive and welcoming. I've made so many friends here and it's amazing to see everyone encouraging and cheering each other on, regardless of our fitness levels or goals. The facilities are top-notch and the equipment is always well-maintained. There's a wide variety of classes, in addition to the regular CrossFit class there’s gymnastics and kettlebells, so there's something for everyone. Overall, Fit2Live Gym has become a second home for me. The community and support here have been instrumental in helping me reach my fitness goals and I am so grateful to be a part of such a wonderful place. If you're looking for a gym where you can not only improve your physical health but also find a supportive community, I highly recommend Fit2Live Gym.

Fantastic experience: What an awesome and welcoming space! I never thought I'd go to a CrossFit gym as I thought they were only about competition, grunting and dropping weights. While there is still grunting and weight dropping and certainly competition if you want it, I find there is more community to be found here and that community is great! Coaches and other members are awesome and so welcoming, and I feel so lucky that this place exists in my town. Well done Fit2Live!

Fantastic experience: I have been attending for nearly 7 years and it has been nothing but wonderful. This place is like a church experience for me, way more than pumping iron and cardio. BBQs, gatherings, and so much playfulness. We are a community, we make friends and build support systems for our members. I LOVE to welcome new people to this place. The coaches and participants are my friends now.

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym with great programming and better coaches! I came in with less than a year of crossfit experience and have seen a lot of progress/am way more comfortable with the movements (esp. gymnastics and oly lifting) in the sport thanks to the coaches. They all have taken the time to be very nit picky (in a good, constructive way) with a focus on form before upping weight/intensity. Great community too that fosters a lot of healthy competition and support!

Fantastic experience: Fit2Live has been the greatest gym that I have ever belonged to. I joined knowing that I needed a fitness and wellness change, but I had 0 experience with Cross-fit. What I found was more than a gym, but a community with world class coaches and classmates. Each Coach has brought massive value to me personally both in and outside of the gym in areas of physical fitness, nutrition, and mental well-being. It doesn't matter where you are going into this gym, you will leave a better version of yourself!

Fantastic experience: I've had a productive and encouraging start at Fit2Live. I came in with little endurance and pain from old sports injuries & imbalances, started with personal training that attended to what I needed and now I'm joining the group classes with everyone else. The coaches are experienced and knowledgeable. The environment is welcoming and positive. The community of people is fun to be around and not intimidating. It's a great overall experience. The details of the InBody scan and progress tracking are a huge bonus. You are given every opportunity for success here and I am so glad I joined.

Fantastic experience: I can’t imagine a better fitness community! I’ve lived in many states and have been a part of several different gyms, and Fit2Live is by far my favorite. My fitness has greatly improved in the 8 months I have been attending classes, they are FUN, and the other members are so encouraging. I have been challenged to push myself but there is also a very healthy (and safe) emphasis on scaling exercises as needed. I have been happy to discover that my running has improved and I experience much less aches and pains due to the great coaching I’m receiving.

Fantastic experience: Fit2Live is the best decision I have made for my physical and mental health! The environment is comfortable to those of all physical abilities. The multiple class times allow so much flexibility for me to decide when I want to workout. The coaches are extremely support and help scale your workout to your own abilities. All in all, this gym is more of a family than anything else! I enjoy working out with the rest of the gym members as much as the workout itself. Five stars.

Fantastic experience: I joined this gym three years ago and I have never felt so healthy and strong. Everyone is so kind and welcoming. The coaches genuinely care about you and they make sure you are moving safely while also challenging yourself. I was very nervous when I first started, but the coaches and members helped me come out of my shell and I've made so many strides. I'm so grateful for this community! ❤️

Fantastic experience: I am so glad I found Fit2Live. I have experienced a lot of gyms/fitness centers and have found that Fit2Live is one of my favorites. I love how they have incorporated nutrition, personal training, group training for all levels. The gym is super clean too. My husband and I have been working with Brandon for 4 months and he makes sure we are challenged without feeling like we’re overdoing it.

Fantastic experience: From the moment I walked in the door, Joust has been an amazing place to workout. I'll admit, I was a bit nervous at first, but the trainers and community there helped me ease into and feel "comfortable" with the tough workouts. Everyone is very encouraging and pushes each other to be the best athletes. The trainers do an amazing job aiding in the process, focusing on areas to improve, and overall are a great staff to work with. Three years later, 40 pounds less, and amazing friends gained, I couldn't ask for a better place for fitness in Ann Arbor.

Fantastic experience: I am a long time member of the Fit2Live community and I love it. It is a great environment for all levels of CrossFitters, form beginner to well seasoned, I have been both! The coaches are knowledgeable and make sure movements are done properly and make an obvious effort to see that everyone is working to their skill level. The atmosphere is encouraging and fun, everyone is super friendly, the community is it’s greatest strength. Fit2Live is a well maintained facility, with ample equipment to support all classes. Bathrooms and showers (yes showers) are clean and well maintained.

Fantastic experience: Great gym! Great atmosphere! Great coaches! If you have summer body goals, Fit2Live is a necessity.

Fantastic experience: Being a software engineer by profession my lifestyle was very sedentary. This ruined my digestion over time badly and made me go on a very restricted diet. Any carelessness in my diet would lead to severe inflammation which wouldn’t go away for days even with medication. Thanks to fit2live that I’m back to normal, Within a month I felt healthy. No restrictions! No medication! :) CrossFit has been a life changing experience for me. Thanks to all the coaches at fit2live.

Fantastic experience: The Fit2Live community is so warm and welcoming and they do all they can to make workouts intense, satisfying, and as safe as possible with goal to achieve fitness for life. Not a passing fad or phase, but actual fitness that can help you pick up your kids, get up off the floor with ease, or find success in the sport & lifestyle of your choosing. Fit2Live is a really unique gym in that everyone I've met there has different goals, but all our goals are well met by staff with a focus on good form & mobility (mobility training at a Crossfit gym? Yeah I was floored too!) I joined as an aerialist & dancer, looking to take my upper body fitness to the next level. Fit2Live has exceeded my expectations regarding arm strength growth! I never thought I could climb a rope as a 35-year-old mom, but here I am, doing it! During my time here I have meet people of all types - busy moms & dads, distance runners, older folks, younger students, and body types of all kinds. We all have different athletic backgrounds (and some NO athletic background when they begin) but everyone has found a place where they can scale workouts and become the very best they can be. It's repeated over and over again - "Scaling is not a crime" and "Leave your ego at the door" and these mantras are what makes Fit2Live so welcoming to all, regardless of your body type or where you are coming from in regards to fitness. I'm so happy I found this gym - it has allowed me to move forward in my own athletic art form.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism I did a few drop in classes (barbell and CrossFit) and had a great time. Great instructors with a focus on form rather than weight. As someone new to CrossFit, these sessions were perfect in improving my form as well as a being great workout. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: This is a great gym, and probably the best one I've found over the years if you're looking to learn crossfit style training but may be intimidated (don't be) - or if you're looking to train in a continuous way that avoids burnout or overuse. The coaches are great, the members are supportive, and you're encouraged to do what works for you within the scope of the workout (this isn't always done so well at some crossfit gyms). I hadn't stepped into a Crossfit gym for about 8 years for a few reasons and it was only this particular gym's approach that got me back in, especially after getting sick of training on my own during the pandemic and before. Glad they're here.

Fantastic experience: This place is awesome! Super welcoming and adaptable to your needs. I started off here as someone with zero experience and a knee injury, and it was a completely judgement free / modification rich environment. Cannot recommend this gym enough :) P.S. two months later and my knee injury doesn't exist anymore after working the right muscles. Woohoo!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been to a lot of different CrossFit gyms- each with their own focus- but what I love about F2L is the emphasis on functional fitness and the great variety of programming they have. In a week of classes I feel like I get a little bit of everything between upper/lower body, core, strength training, and good ol fashioned cardio. I truly feel anyone who shows up consistently, challenges themselves to do things that might be uncomfortable, and tries again the next day, will see great progress at this gym.

Fantastic experience: I've been to/been a member of various CrossFit box/gyms across the country over the last 8 years, so I feel confident sharing that Fit2Live (fka Joust) is one of the best - both from a CrossFit perspective but also just for a dang good work out. I came back to CrossFit after my work schedule freed up & I realized I was losing too much strength just going to OTF for the last 3 years. I was very very choosy as previous boxes/gyms that left me physically injured as well as just mentally burn out. Two things that stand out to me about F2L that make me feel like I can make some sustainable gainz & fixing some old bad habits: *the community: everyone is SO welcoming & friendly. Shout out to the 6am'ers! There are definitely folks that are VERY fit but it never feels hyper competitive. *programming: I appreciate the 6 week strength & skill focus areas. It makes me feel super clear on what I'm working on/towards. This is a contrast to things I've seen like stupid WODs for volume's sake and I absolutely HATE those. I'm not saying it's not intense or there isn't volume because you'll absolutely get in a workout, but you'll feel good about it and not be injured! I also appreciate that the coaches ALWAYS review scaling opportunities. Ain't no shame in the scaling game. I also like the mix of weightlifting/barbell classes as well as gymnastics and endurance classes if you want to get a good mix of different stimuli! Their class sizes seem pretty consistently large so I liked doing the foundations series first! Can you believe that this was my FIRST time in a foundations class ever?! It was a great time to take a beat, check my form.

Fantastic experience: I have been coming here since May with a new resolve to improve my health. I have been so thankful for my time here. What I needed was accountability and Fit2Live has been that for me. Coach Brandon led me through the Foundations of CrossFit and after that I started participating in classes daily so long as I was in town. I see the same ladies in the morning and they have since become the people the people I look forward to seeing in the morning to spur me on. I have felt a huge improvement in my health and excited to come to class each day and attempt things I have never done before!

Fantastic experience: This is an amazing gym with a great community to keep you motivated and wanting to go to class! The coaches are all very helpful and encouraging. I also love the tips and tricks emails that come along with membership to help get you on track with general health and nutrition.

Fantastic experience: Coach Ryan was awesome. As a drop-in, he was really interested in learning about my physical condition, but he was also interested in getting to know me personally. This isn’t always the norm when you’re an “out of towner”. The structure of his programming was methodical and he made sure all the athletes were prepared for the WOD. I’ve had the chance to drop-in at a number of gyms and Fit2Live is at the top. Thanks for such a warm welcome. I’ll be back soon!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely loved going to FIT2LIVE! Friendly people and amazing coaches. You can tell that the coaches care about your health and fitness. Only reason why we left the gym was because we were moving out of state. Learned so much and really wish we could have stayed with the gym longer.

Fantastic experience: Before starting at Fit2Live I thought that CrossFit was something that already super fit people did with other already super fit people to make fitness extra challenging. I didn’t think of it as something that an uncoordinated and out-of-shape person like me could do. I’m still not sure what possessed me to give it a try but I’m so glad I did! From day 1 the coaches and other members made we feel welcome. The coaches do a wonderful job of meeting each member where they are and helping each person adjust the workout to make it challenging but manageable. Because the community has a wide range of fitness levels, I have never felt judged or out of place for adjusting a workout to my abilities. I see no reason why ANYONE wouldn’t see results at Fit2Live with consistency and effort. I certainly have. I couldn’t recommend Fit2Live more highly. I’m sad to be moving away and only wish I had found them sooner!

Fantastic experience: Loved our time at Fit2Live! The coaches are great and friendly, same with all the member. Unlike many CrossFit gyms, they practice what they preach when it comes to good form. I never realized the bad lifting habits I had picked up from other gyms until I came to Fit2Live. We will miss Fit2Live! If you're on the fence about trying it out - DO IT!

Fantastic experience: I enjoyed working out here! From the first day to the last day, I was always welcomed, and all the coaches were very friendly and professional. They have lots of class schedules, making it easier to make it there. I ended my membership in May since I graduated from grad school and left Ann Arbor, but I will miss working out here. Thanks for keeping me fit and healthy - physically and mentally - while finishing my degree, Fit2Live!!

Fantastic experience: I joined this gym just for a few months as I finished up my last semester of grad school. The other members are so friendly and the coaches take care to make sure you are comfortable and safe with the workout. I loved how CrossFit classes went until 7:30pm, which worked out great with my busy student schedule. I’ve been to other gyms that had a pretty strong competitive atmosphere between members (which is great for some) but I loved how supportive everyone was of people’s different skill levels.

Fantastic experience: Great experience! The community was very welcoming and I was brought right into the class. The programming seemed well thought out and it was easy to jump right in.

Fantastic experience: I love this gym! Ryan and staff are great. My wife is a member and I walked in to check out the place and the vibe hit me. I want to work out here. Welcoming what ever you bring. It's not about others expectations, it's about what you want and living better. The other members are fun and encouraging and create a supportive vibrant community you want to be part of. It's all about being a better you.

Fantastic experience: The Fit2Live community is so warm and welcoming and they do all they can to make workouts intense, satisfying, and as safe as possible with goal to achieve fitness for life. Not a passing fad or phase, but actual fitness that can help you pick up your kids, get up off the floor with ease, or find success in the sport & lifestyle of your choosing. Fit2Live is a really unique gym in that everyone I've met there has different goals, but all our goals are well met by staff with a focus on good form & mobility (mobility training at a Crossfit gym?

I'm so happy I found this gym - it has allowed me to move forward in my own athletic art form.

Fantastic experience: I did a couple of drop-in classes here while I was in town visiting friends. The coach was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. All of the athletes were very friendly and welcoming. There was plenty of equipment, which was in great condition. I highly recommend this gym!

Fantastic experience: I was uncertain about the time and financial commitment of belonging to a gym, and being an older woman, I was hesitant, to say the least, about gym atmosphere. So, it was a big hurdle for me to try a gym. My son recommended Fit 2 Live, and because his 'kindness meter' is unfailing, I ventured in. The first thing I noticed as I crossed the threshold was the welcome mat, which reads, "Check Your Ego at the Door". This and my initial conversation with owner Ryan, was very encouraging, and put me at ease immediately. My first workout class was not intimidating, because there are people of many skill levels, and the coaches are attentive, and scale any move you can't do ( yet!) to something challenging but doable. It felt great. A friend advised me to go three times a week for a month before deciding if I like it. This was very good advice, which I commend to anyone beginning a fitness regimen. I was hooked, especially because the whole community of members is so supportive, which makes it one of the most motivating aspects of Fit 2 Live. For example, there is an "icebreaker" at the beginning of each workout, where everyone says their name, and answers the same question, such as, 'what was your favorite vacation?', which created a comfortable and friendly atmosphere. There are special events several times a year which are well attended and fun. And I am constantly seeing progress in my fitness, and ability to scale up movements, amount of weight, etc. Last year because of the pandemic, Fit 2 Live adapted, posting home workouts, holding classes in the parking lot, and re opening with ten foot distances between gym goers. Some of my friends set up home gyms and did not return to the gyms they were formerly members of. I think this is a huge mistake, because they are missing the key advantages of belonging to a gym, and the critical components of fitness - expert coaching that makes sure that, first - you don't get hurt, but are challenged, and especially the design of each workout that varies from day to day with overall fitness goals in mind, and as importantly, the fellowship and support of fellow gym goers. Lastly, I respect Fit 2 Live for not letting members confuse gym attendance with weight loss. There is a great nutrition program for overall health and weight loss that is an optional companion piece to the fitness program.

Fantastic experience: I was in Ann Arbor a few days and I had the chance to do a drop-in class at Fit2Live. Both the coaching team and members immediately made me feel welcome and included in the community. The program was well-organized and focuses on achieving personnal goals and PRs. Brandon was our coach for the day. He watched carefully to make sure we were performing each of the movements correctly and offered me tips to improve my hang power clean. I will definitely come again when I am back in Ann Arbor, and I would recommend it to anyone interested in fitness or sport in general, as well as to people who would like to start a physical activity: you will be in good hands! Thanks a lot for the good energy and for your expertise!

Fantastic experience: Fit2Live is the best gym in Ann Arbor. The best thing about Fit2Live is the Coaches, the Community and the Culture. I have never done CrossFit before this, and it was really intimidating for me when I decided to pursue it. The first session with the Coach Ryan was amazing and he made me believe that I can do this and over the time I will get better at it. 3 months down the line I am more confident, and I love CrossFit. Major shout out to all the Coaches. Coach Ryan, Brandon, Sharon, Rob, EJ and all the other coaches they genuinely care about everyone’s fitness journey here. I have never been this motivated to go to the gym and now Fit2Live has become very crucial part of my life. I am really seeing a lot of change in myself in 3 months, and I am looking forward to achieving much more. This has become possible because of kind of support, push, motivation and care I am getting from all the coaches here. In past, I had several challenges like wrist pain, and I wrote an email to Coach Brandon about it. The next day he came personally to follow up with me and gave me all important advice that really helped me to overcome the wrist pain. Similarly, I have discussed my workout fatigue challenge with Coach Sharon and immediately she gave me a great tips and advice to break that shell. She always follows up with me to check my progress and improvement. During workout session, she makes sure I am doing the workouts with the right techniques. The above is some of the anecdotes from my personal experience to share the attention that I get from the coaches which really motivates me. Another great thing about Fit2Live is the Coach Ryan’s and Coach EJ’s newsletters on fitness and nutrition. Those newsletters and webinar have been helpful to me. As I mentioned, this gym has a great culture and that makes it very different from the other gym that I have been to. And my peers here with whom I work out they are very nice and amazing which makes the daily WOD even more fun. Kudos to Fit2Live!!

Fantastic experience: Great place to work out, excellent coaching, very in tune to your goals, always assisting in modification and safety first. A wonderful supportive atmosphere and very encouraging and inclusive to all skill levels and fitness. I love coming to class for the variety of workouts, and community encouraged by the leadership of the gym to help each person be healthier, stronger and achieve any personal goals. I can’t say enough good things about Fit2Live, and am so fortunate to be part of this amazing gym and the people that coach here( more than fitness, nutrition counseling too!) and the people who work out here!

Fantastic experience: Fit2Live is the absolute best gym in Ann Arbor! I joined Fit2Live relatively inexperienced with Crossfit and with fitness goals I wanted to smash. The coaches here were absolutely amazing at helping me at every step along the way. The coaches here help me nail my form and my lifts and they always challenge me. What I love most about Fit2Live is the community. There are people from all fitness levels at this gym. There are tons of new people and tons of seasoned pros. Being relatively new to fitness, I have never felt out of place at this gym. I always feel encouraged and supported by the people I workout with. As a busy law student, this is the one place I can go that helps me to escape from the stresses of exams and to not think about school. This gym has been indispensable to maintaining my mental and physical health this semester. As a student this is definitely an investment, but this is an investment that pays off, and I'm glad Fit2Live has helped me prioritize fitness this year. I can't wait to see where I am in another six months.

Fantastic experience: I love F2L! I moved from out of state and finally found a gym I liked that has a great price and great coaches. Worth every penny and then some. They have worked really hard to make sure covid precautions have been followed for the community, and we still manage to have a lot of laughs. The coaches are excellent at helping all kinds of skill sets and abilities. This gym has helped me keep my head on straight these last few crazy months! Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: As someone who has been to many different gyms in the state, the country, and outside of the country, there's no place like Joust! The coaches are professional, have an excellent eye for good form (which is important in the sport of Crossfit), and personable. They really make you feel like you're at home! No matter where I go, the workouts aren't the same as Joust and they program them with goals in place to prevent you from getting hurt and to help you become the best version of yourself! If you're going to invest your time and money into yourself, this is the place to go! Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned athlete, they will help you get to your goals and you'll even find random goals for yourself you didn't think you needed to develop.

Fantastic experience: If you had told me I was going to join a gym and make it a daily part of my routine for the last five years, I would have thought you were nuts. But that's the place I am at. I have been in the best shape of my life consistently throughout that entire period thanks to Joust. Joust is a safe place; it's a supportive community where we are all helping each other do better at fitness and health. The environment is not competitive. We, as a community, are focused on bettering ourselves instead of beating everyone else. It's that community and sense of belonging that keeps me attending every day. I doubt you will find a more experienced coaching staff around town. Many of the coaching staff at Joust have 5 to 10 years of experience coaching or more, without moving around from gym to gym. The longevity of the coaching staff speaks volumes to the sense of community and belonging that Joust provides. I cannot recommend the place strongly enough. It has become a core of my sense of belonging and happiness.

Fantastic experience: Been a member of the Joust family for almost 2 years. Felt welcome since day 1. Great staff, the best equipment, awesome facilities. The coaches always make sure you're challenging yourself while maintaining good form/technique. LEAVE YOUR EGO AT THE DOOR and come join the Joust family!

Fantastic experience: Joust is more than a gym. It's an amazing supportive community. After 2 years at joust (more than I've ever lasted in any other gym), I'm in the best shape of my life. We love the coaches and all the members who make you come back day after day. We have also visited other crossfit boxes and none have been as welcoming as Joust. Best gym ever!

Fantastic experience: I have been working out at Joust for 4 years. It truly has been the best 4 years of fitness and community I’ve ever experienced. The coaches and fellow Jousters are like my extended family. It truly is a community of excellent people who work hard and have fun! I can’t say enough about how professional, instructional and life changing Joust is. Thank you Ryan, the coaches and my fellow Jousters for creating one of my favorite happy places!!!

Fantastic experience: Coming out of the pandemic I was out of shape physically and mentally. I'm also hard of hearing and noisy environments with masks? I was not excited, but knew I needed to get back and take care of myself. Started out with PT with Ryan who was AMAZING, flexible with programming, knowledgable and responsive. The real magic was moving into class and having every single trainer also help me adjust with the hearing, and patience and encouragement finding my way back to regular workouts. I've been places where I loved one, maybe two trainers, but I've never experienced a place where every single person is on point. The trainers and regulars have all been there some number of years, which speaks to the great, consistent environment. And all that caring does not mean they won't totally kick your butt. The programming is awesome. Already hit a PR. High recommend!

Fantastic experience: Best Cross Fit gym for ALL fitness levels. I've been obese all of my life and I really enjoy the programming and coaching at Joust. The programming is effective. It not only helps building muscles (hence improve body shapes) but also improves immune systems and cognitive ability. I really do feel the drop in my daily energy level after I stopped consistent working-out at Joust due to the pandemic (another piece of evidence for causal relationship). I hope I can get back to the gym soon.

Fantastic experience: Joust is awesome! I started attending in Fall 2020. This is my first experience with Crossfit, so I had a lot to learn. The coaches and community are all so welcoming and supportive! I was pretty active before joining Joust, but I have gotten much stronger and increased my endurance. I feel safe coming to Joust indoors because the health & cleaning protocols are practiced consistently and communicated clearly.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of joust for a couple of years. Previous to Joust I attended a big box gym and after a few months there I lost motivation to keep working out as it was monotonous....I felt that I needed something more engaging. Enter Joust and I was hooked from the very first workout. Joust offers everything I need....amazing workouts, great atmosphere, excellent coaches, and an extraordinary community that I can call family. I can confidently say that without Joust my life would not be as good and enjoyable as it is now. The conditioning I've received through Joust paved the way for me to enjoy other activities such as backpacking and biking, and hopefully more! Whenever I have a bad day at work, or in general, I know that going to Joust at the end of the day will make me feel better. I am in the best shape of my life not only physically, but mentally as well. Thank you Joust!

Fantastic experience: There are community gyms but this gym is a community. I joined Joust in 2009 and it's been a staple in my life and my families life ever since. The coaching team wants a great experience for you in every class and will help you reach your goals. The gym gives you opportunities to improve in any fitness domain (strength, power, stamina, flexibility/mobility, you name it!) And whatever your goals are, you're sure to find a friend at Joust.

Fantastic experience: Great gym to drop in at or join. I was passing through on a road trip and reached out to see about dropping in on a class one morning. They responded to my email very quickly and then the reservation process for my drop-in was extremely easy. At the class the coach was very knowledgeable about the movements we did and the other members were incredibly friendly and made me feel very welcome.

Fantastic experience: Fit2Live is the bright spot of my day that gives me an afterglow, which lasts just long enough to make me crave the next workout. :) I feel as though I can push myself in a safe and structurally sound way here. I’m new here, but ever since joining I’ve felt happier, stronger, and more mobile. The coaches are high-caliber people who empower and foster an incredible community. The atmosphere is fun, friendly, and welcoming. There’s a wealth of knowledge that feeds into the programming, which is thoughtfully designed. This is more than an exceptional gym with clean, modern facilities; it’s a safe place for people to test their limits, meet incredible people, and have a blast!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member for a little more than a year and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. It’s amazing going in and seeing people in all different levels of fitness challenging themselves. The staff is excellent. They are extremely helpful and kind. They know a ton about CrossFit, general fitness, healthy living, injury prevention, sports injury treatment, and much more. My shoulder (previously injured) has never felt stronger thanks to Ryan and his team assisting with strength and mobility work. I overall feel much more agile, strong and fit. Go in and you won’t be let down, just a little sore!

Fantastic experience: By far and away the best fitness experience you can find!! Joust breaks the mold and some of the stigmas out there regarding CrossFit. Anyone, any age, any ability level can come to Joust and feel welcome in their efforts to achieve their fitness goals. The coaches challenge you but also give options for modifications to each workout and specific exercise if necessary. This allows everyone to experience their own level of success and gives you the confidence that you can indeed "do it". Give the Joust team a try if you have a chance, you won't regret your decision!!

Fantastic experience: Joust is a great gym with coaches who want you to succeed. Ryan, Rob, EJ, and the rest of the coaches are all great at breaking apart technical movements in a way that is easy to understand. I would recommend Joust if you are looking for a gym to increase your fitness and have fun while doing so.

Fantastic experience: Expert trainers. Great facility. Professional. Willing to accommodate individual needs. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: This gym has been the best part of my day for this last hectic year

Fantastic experience: This place is legit. Physical and mental fitness in a judgement free environment.

Fantastic experience: Great coaches, fun programming, and a clean facility.

Fantastic experience: Fit2Live is fantastic! All the coaches are great and really knowledgable. The gym culture is positive and supportive and makes you want to go to the gym!

Fantastic experience: Joust is like a home away from home for me. I feel so fortunate to have found a place that makes me look forward to going to workout. The community, the coaches, the workouts and the facility are all top notch. #bestgymina2 :)

Fantastic experience: Joust is by far the best gym experience that I have ever had! Nothing but excellence all around. The coaching and community are phenomenal and always helping me be the best version of myself!

Fantastic experience: This gym has been an incredible support to me as I navigated fitness during and post cancer treatment. The instructors are knowledgeable and friendly and the community is just amazing. Highly recommend for literally any fitness level.

Fantastic experience: My partner and I dropped in while visiting Ann Arbor. The coaching staff is knowledgeable and professional, the community extremely welcoming, and we were very impressed with the attention and energy being given to safety regarding COVID protocols. We will be planning on dropping in here whenever we’re in town.

Fantastic experience: Joust is more than a gym. It's an amazing supportive community. After 2 years at joust (more than I've ever lasted in any other gym), I'm in the best shape of my life. We love the coaches and all the members who make you come back day after day. We have also visited other crossfit boxes and none have been as welcoming as Joust. Best gym ever!

Fantastic experience: I found 3 great things here, Great community Great commitment Great coaches. Jousters are by definition head on about getting better and stronger and joust fitness makes sure that It happens in the safest and most scientific way. Changed my view of exercising, Now it's more about being functionally efficient and strong, and not just lifting and torturing myself. I feel part of a community that is very compassionate, competitive, enduring and positive. Cheers to the coaches for making the workouts safely available in the pandemic.

Fantastic experience: I started at Joust at a time in my life where I felt really unhappy, unfit and was really nervous about going to any kind of gym. Immediately the coaches made me feel really comfortable and I learned so much and never felt more motivated! Along with great coaches the members of Joust are so welcoming, supportive and fun to be around! Working out use to feel like a chore but with Joust I always looked forward to going and once there you’re surrounded by people who motivate you and push you to do you best.

Fantastic experience: Came in from out of town and just popped in. Ryan was Awesome! He greeted me promptly let me know the lay of the land was very instrumental to make sure I went Along with the class (Since I had never been there before) When I come back to Ann Arbor Joust will definitely be on the list of stops!

Fantastic experience: Joust is an amazing gym and an excellent community. Participants have diverse ages, backgrounds, and ability levels. The Joust staff is committed to making sure every participant gets something out of the workout, and tailors the workouts to each person's individual needs. Their dedication to good technique is amazing. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Great box! I recently attended a couple of the morning classes while dropping in from out of town. The coaching was excellent and the gym did a great job of being COVID-19 friendly. I particularly enjoyed the barbell focused class - as someone who has been Olympic Weightlifting for quite a while, its rare to hear a coach give a new, and useful, cue. Rob was very knowledgeable and able to pick out small tweaks to help me.

Fantastic experience: I started Crossfit at Joust about a year ago after hearing glowing recommendations from a couple of other members of the gym. I was looking for challenging programming, fun new athletic challenges and a community of dedicated but goofy folks to work out with. Joust has all of the above in spades. I can't imagine finding another gym quite like it. The staff and member community has somehow perfectly struck the balance between intentionally pushing each other to improve every workout, while also keeping a down to earth integrity. I'm sad to be moving out of Ann Arbor, thus leaving the gym and if I come back to visit, I will certainly stop by to say hello to this wonderful group of people.

Fantastic experience: I've never enjoyed a gym or a community more than I enjoyed Joust. The owner, Ryan, is one of the most genuinely friendly people I've ever met with a knack for building a great culture. The coaches do an incredible job making sure every workout is both appropriate and challenging for you. Their goal is to make Joust "the best hour" of your day. Unless you go 2 or more times in a day, like me.

Fantastic experience: Es ist mehr als ein Gym, es ist eine Familie. Tolle Leute! (Its more than a Gym its a family. Awesome people)

Fantastic experience: Best Gym I ever been too! Every coach is great, and the community is too.

Fantastic experience: Exceptional. This is literally the first review I have ever written, but feel obliged since it is such a great place. The instructors are great, very nice , and super knowledgeable. Best gym I have been too.

Fantastic experience: I dropped in for a workout during a business trip in Ann Arbor. Rob was my coach and gave me some great cues for my cleans. He also showed me how to stabilize my left shoulder to help with my dumbbell thrusters. It’s rare to get that type of coaching during a drop in.

Fantastic experience: Dropped in today during Open Gym Coaches very friendly, gave a tour, offered any input if wanted and otherwise cut me loose to go. Members were also very friendly and asked if I wanted to jump in on their WOD. Overall exactly the type of place you want to drop in - inviting, friendly, well-equipped etc. Definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: I originally joined the Joust community while in Graduate school from 2014-2015. I was the healthiest, fittest, strongest, and happiest I’d ever been. Life happened after I graduated and I stepped away from Joust. Since then I became the most unhealthy, heaviest, and unhappiest I’d ever been. I tried multiple fitness activities and gyms but nothing ever compared to Joust. I knew what I needed to do but had a tough time finding the motivation and courage to make the lifestyle change until one day I said “enough talking, I’m ready for change”. Joust provides me with the motivation, accountability, knowledge, and community to live a healthier life. Since rejoining Joust 5 months ago I’ve seen/felt tremendous results. I’ve lost 30 pounds, 5 inches in my waistline, and watched my strength increase in multiple areas of fitness (most proud: I went from being able to do 0 to 10 push-ups). I couldn’t have reached this success without the Joust community.
