I am so happy that I joined Fit2Live! I feel great- physically and mentally. The coaches and other members have been so supportive and encouraging from the start. I really appreciate how the staff is focused on safety and helping us get stronger without getting injured.

Fit2Live is the best part of my day - I can't wait to come back tomorrow! I feel like I can push myself here in a safe and structurally sound way.

This gym is exceptional - it's a safe place for people to test their limits and have a great time!

I have loved my time at Fit2Live! When I first joined, I was a bit nervous, but the coaches and community made me feel comfortable and at home from day one. Everyone is very encouraging and push each other to be the best version of themselves. The coaches do an amazing job aiding in the process and focusing on areas to improve. Three years later, 40 pounds lighter, and with some amazing friends gained, I couldn’t ask for a better place for fitness in Ann Arbor.

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 amazing Joust 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 everyone is super friendly, there is a great community feel. Joust is a very nice, well maintained facility, with ample equipment to support all classes. Bathrooms and showers (yes showers) are clean and well maintained. If you live in or ever visit Ann Arbor, you should definitely stop by Joust for a great workout.

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

peter hoffman 1 year ago

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.

Kelsey DeCamillis 1 year ago

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!

Jessie Dean 1 year ago

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.

Tiffany Schmitt 1 year ago

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.

Dora Tung 1 year ago

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!

Tanya DesJardins 1 year ago

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.

Ryan Nowicki 1 year ago

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!

Rahul Sharma 1 year ago

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.

Sydney Vigran 1 year ago

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!

Nicole Mounts 1 year ago

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!

Hojeong Yoo 1 year ago

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!!

Jenna Happach 1 year ago

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.

Andrew Hager 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I had a fantastic time! Everyone was incredibly friendly and I was made to feel right at home. The lesson plan was well organized and I was able to start participating right away.

Tim Belanger 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I'm in love with this gym! Ryan and the team are terrific. My spouse is a member, and when I stepped in to explore the place, I immediately felt the atmosphere. I'm eager to exercise here. Everyone is accepted and it's not about others' expectations, it's about what you desire and improving your life. The other members are entertaining and inspiring, forming a supportive and lively community that you'd like to be a part of. It all comes down to being the best version of yourself.

Mary H 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: The Fit2Live community is incredibly inviting and they strive to make workouts challenging, enjoyable, and as safe as possible, with the aim of helping people attain fitness for life. It's not just a fleeting trend, but real fitness that can help you lift your kids, get up off the floor with ease, or excel in the sport & lifestyle of your choice. Fit2Live is a unique gym in that everyone I've encountered there has different objectives, but all our aspirations are met by staff with an emphasis on proper form & mobility (I was astonished to find mobility training at a Crossfit gym!). I joined as an aerialist & dancer, looking to take my upper body fitness to the next level. Fit2Live has gone beyond my expectations in terms of arm strength growth! I never thought I'd be able to climb a rope as a 35-year-old mom, but here I am, doing it! During my time here I have encountered people of all kinds - busy moms & dads, distance runners, older folks, younger students, and body types of all varieties. We all have different athletic backgrounds (and some NO athletic background when they start) but everyone has found a place where they can scale workouts and become the best they can be. It's said again and again - "Scaling is not a crime" and "Leave your ego at the door" and these messages are what makes Fit2Live so friendly to all, regardless of your body type or where you are coming from in terms of fitness. I'm so pleased I found this gym - it has enabled me to progress in my own athletic art form.

James Hamblin 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I stopped by this gym for a few drop-in classes while I was visiting friends in town. The instructor was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. Everyone I met was incredibly friendly and inviting. The facility had plenty of equipment, all of which was in top-notch condition. I would highly recommend this gym!

Barbara Tucker 2 years ago

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.

Moise Bruno 2 years ago

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!

Abheek Kumar Srivastava 2 years ago

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!!

Tereze Steinhoff 2 years ago

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!

Matthew Micik 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I joined Fit2Live gym in Ann Arbor with little knowledge of Crossfit and some fitness goals I wanted to achieve. The coaches were great at helping me learn and improve my form and lifts. What I really appreciate about this gym is the community - there are people of all fitness levels and no one feels out of place. It's a great escape from the pressures of school and I'm so glad I made the investment in my physical and mental health. In six months I'm excited to see how far I've come.

Jessie Summers 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I love Joust! 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

Marty McFly 2 years ago

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.

Eric Foldenauer 2 years ago

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.

Bryant Rivera 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality 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!

Nestor 2 years ago

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!

Gregory Basura 2 years ago

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!!!

Jt Sangsland 2 years ago

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!

郭 Guo田 Tian 2 years ago

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.

Katie Glupker 2 years ago

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.

Rainier Galinato 2 years ago

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!

Richard Eikstadt 2 years ago

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.

Grant Siedschlag 2 years ago

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.

Kaily Daida 2 years ago

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!

Jett Jones 2 years ago

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!

Jason Chaput 2 years ago

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!!

Ian Winslow 2 years ago

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.

shiv patel 3 years ago

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.

Trudy Pine 3 years ago

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.

Nick Hartman 3 years ago

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!

Sarah Strader 3 years ago

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!

Elliott Metzler 3 years ago

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.

Brian D'Auteuil 3 years ago

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.

Sean Hegarty 3 years ago

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.

Satya Bhatt 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I started out at Joust in September 2015 after 4 years of mostly dormant lifestyle looking to get fitter. In this time, I have gotten into the best shape and fitness of my life. Joust has great coaches with well rounded background in Crossfit (duh!), Gymnastics, Olympic Weightlifting and general nutrition. The best part of this gym is the community. Collectively known as the Jousters, they come from all kinds of diverse backgrounds, bring great vibes and support each other regardless of where they are in their fitness journey. I highly recommend it!

Jake Teamerson 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have been a member at Joust for the past two years while attending UM. The coaching staff and community are absolutely wonderful and welcoming. The gym is bright and clean and the effort they put into maintaining the excellent equipment they have is outstanding. The programming is very balanced- members focus on 6 week strength/skill goals and weeks are designed to encourage sustainable fitness. Thank you to everyone for helping me maintain my fitness while in school. I'm going to miss everyone here tremendously.

Courtney Asman 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: The coaches at Joust are amazing and accommodating for every level of fitness when you start out. They kick your butt, but make sure you stay safe doing it. Joining Joust was easily the best decision I've made compared to various gyms I've been a part of. It is a really great community, and everyone is so supportive and happy to be there. There are so many times for classes available and with the people you get to work with it is well worth the membership.

Fantastic experience: Joust is an amazing Gym and a great value! Everyone who works out at Joust is supportive and fun to be around. As someone who has never been big into weight lifting, I enjoyed the mental challenge of learning the correct way to perform Olympic movements. The coaches are top tier and take the time to teach all levels of athletes from very beginner to elite. The workouts are well balanced and challenging ranging from strength training to aerobic fitness. I have never left Joust feeling that I did not get something out of the workout in terms of both personal coaching and increased fitness level. Thanks to Ryan and all the coaches at Joust!
