Michigan Hy-Fit Athletics

Positive experience: Business seems to be closed. Dropped by twice during the day and no one was there.

Fantastic experience: Whether you’re brand new or experienced, the classes here are a supportive, challenging environment that will leave you feeling more accomplished than any workout you would do on your own.

Fantastic experience: Michigan Hy-Fit Athletics is one of the best gyms I have ever been to. I joined a little over a year ago after my gym closed, and was nervous to go somewhere new. The coaches and members made me feel at home from day one and I have made some great friendships from being a consistent member. The programming is challenging but approachable and offers the freedom for members to push themselves or pace if they aren’t feeling 100% that day. The coaches are also very knowledgeable and attentive. They genuinely want members to succeed and consistently tailor coaching methods to ensure members are staying safe and using correct form. I have grown significantly as an athlete since joining this gym, I highly recommend joining!

Fantastic experience: Michigan Hy-fit is the first gym I have ever stepped foot into and Denny/ all the coaches made me feel completely comfortable as a total novice as soon as I started. It’s been a year an a half and I’m the fittest, healthiest and strongest I’ve ever been. Denny fixed my chronic knee pain and is very attentive to ensure safety during classes as all the coaches are. There is a fantastic community that is so encouraging and you can make great friendships. I cannot recommend Michigan hy-fit more then I already do. You will not regret joining!

Fantastic experience: What a gym should be. This place literally changed my life. The owner and his staff are amazing coaches that teach fundamentals and will adjust to where you’re at in fitness goals. Not the typical “add more weight” you get a warehouse gyms. Plus enough equipment for everyone and so clean you could eat off the floor. I can’t say enough about how great this place is. If you try it for a week you’ll be hooked.

Fantastic experience: The best place for group fitness classes in and around the area. Great coaches and amazing community.

Fantastic experience: From the year 2021 to 2022, I attended classes for about 7 months. It was some of the best experience I had ever working out. I had to stop due to an unrelated injury, and moving away. If you are in the downtown auburn hills area - do yourself a favor and get a gym membership here. They even offer a discount for Auburn Hills members (at least from the time I attended)

Fantastic experience: I have worked out at Michigan Hy-Fit Athletics for over 2 years. I have known Denny (owner) for over 10 years and have followed him wherever he has gone. He really cares about his clients and has motivated me to be in the best shape of my life.

Fantastic experience: The best gym experience I’ve ever had. Nice facility, incredible workouts, knowledgeable trainers, great community…the list goes on. I started at Michigan Hy-Fit Athletics after taking 18-months off for an injury. Denny and his team have enabled me to reclaim personal fitness. Experienced instruction and modifying exercise techniques to accommodate recovery have made all the difference. Now, I feel confident with form and exercise as a means to prevent injury rather than cause it. After only 2-months, the results speak for themselves. You have to try this place.

Fantastic experience: Day 2: Met some more fantastic people. Burned some calories. I’ll be going back tomorrow. I’m a newbie to gym memberships but Hy-Fit has made me a believer! Greet atmosphere: very clean, functional, and utilitarian. Great coaches: Denny and Ryan are attentive and motivating. And I feel amazing… and confident that I can reach my fitness goals in this midlife rally.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member of Hy-Fit for a little over 2 months now. I absolutely see the results in my strength and muscle tone. As a runner, my runs have been injury free and stronger. The coaches have been encouraging, helpful and they make me feel comfortable at all levels. I am so glad I found this gym and wonderful community of people.

Fantastic experience: I just started here, i had a awesome workout session today. Will update this comment after one month into the program.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym! It’s hard to find a facility like this. It’s clean, beautiful and most importantly the training there is top notch. I played college basketball and professional ball and Denny (owner/coach) does an amazing job working with athletes at all levels. He’s intelligent, friendly and is able to push you to a whole new level, no matter what your goal is. His passion is contagious. Thank you Denny for always spreading positivity and leaving an impact on everyone who is around you. 5/5 stars!!!!

Fantastic experience: I have been attending Michigan Hy-Fit Athletics for just over a month now. I have been to other gyms and have had other trainers. However, I have to say I have never had any other experience like I have at this gym. The combination of structure, community, energy, and atmosphere this gym has is unmatched. I'm 4'10" and 100 lbs soaking wet and I feel like a beast when I walk out of there. The owner Denny is a really genuine guy and all the other trainers are awesome as well! They make you want to push yourself to be the best you can be. I'm truly glad this gym exists and that I found it. I can finally see my true potential, thank you for that!

Fantastic experience: Today , I completed 4 weeks in Michigan Hy fit Athletics. Denny is an amazing coach. He guides you well whether your are novice or pro. I definitely see more strength, better body posture and most importantly change in the feeling from YOU CAN’T to YOU CAN.

Fantastic experience: Michigan Hy-Fit Athletics is a great gym with excellent workouts. The owner and coach, Denny, is very knowledgeable about fitness and is attentive to the athletes. His programming is spot on for strength, core and agility improvements.

Fantastic experience: Michigan Hy-Fit Athletics is an outstanding place to get your fitness on! The atmosphere provided by the coaches makes you feel comfortable enough to be yourself, learn about all things fitness and health related, push yourself harder everyday during each workout, and make a few friends along the way. Having a place like Michigan Hy-Fit Athletics is more important than ever with all the craziness going on in the world. You need this place not just for your physical health, but also for your mental health. I have been a member for two months now and I have been blown away by their great customer service, the difficulty of the workouts, the variety of movements during each workout, and the different formats of each workout. It's easy to see that the coaches put a lot of careful consideration into the creation of every workout because the workouts are always challenging and they never get boring. The variation of workouts helps members to focus on all important aspects of fitness, such as muscle endurance, muscle strength, functional movements, speed, agility, quickness, and core strength. You will see a variety of equipment used during workouts, which includes barbells, weighted sandbags, dumbbells, assault bikes, rowers, a pull-up rig, erg bikes, battle ropes, boxes for step-ups and jumping, medicine balls, boxing equipment, jump ropes, kettlebells, etc. The facility is incredibly clean, visually appealing and well-organized. They put in extra hours everyday to make sure that everything is thoroughly sanitized from the floors to the bathrooms to the barbells and all the other equipment. The coaches' extra attention to cleanliness helps members feel safe during this global pandemic. They also have towels and sanitizing spray for members to use to clean their equipment after a workout gets completed. The gym has rich vibrant colors throughout with lot's of impressive wood work. They also have some great motivational quotes on the walls and it's easy to find the equipment you need and put it away when you're done. Keep in mind that they enforce social distancing and require a mask be worn while you are not doing a workout. This means that you will need to wear your mask while entering, leaving and walking around the gym. You work out without a mask on, but you must stay in your allotted workout space while not wearing a mask. They have spaces marked off at several locations in the gym in an effort to keep people from being to close to one another while working out. This also means that class sizes have been reduced and each class typically has a maximum capacity of nine people. There are a variety of times available for classes. Be sure to check the mobile app for their daily schedule and to register for a class before you show up to Michigan Hy-Fit Athletics. On a typical weekday they have bootcamp at 6:30 AM, 8:30 AM, 9:30 AM, 5:00 PM, & 6:00 PM. You can come to open gym, which is usually at 5:30 AM, 7:30 AM, 10:30 AM, 2:30 PM, 3:30 PM, and 7:00 PM on weekdays. They keep competition at a "you versus you" level. There is no unhealthy leaderboard ranking the results of their members. My experience at previous gyms is that leaderboards lead to injuries, drama, anxiety, hatred, anger, and cheating. Come check out Michigan Hy-Fit Athletics and try their amazing approach to fitness and health. See how awesome a gym can be when people check their egos at the door and support one another.

Fantastic experience: Started at Michigan Hy-Fit about 18 months ago. Denny, owner/instructor is great. His passion for the gym shows through with his encouragement, instructions and personal attention he gives to all. Great group of members....its fun but hard work. My golfing has improved, getting greater distance from my clubs. YAY! Good gym for both beginners and those who have worked out out before.

Fantastic experience: This gym is amazing. The classes are offered at great times and plenty of them. Each class is different, but all are positive and challenging. If you don't see a class time that works for you, I wouldn't be surprised if Denny (owner) added it to the schedule! I signed my whole family up and we are all going on a regular basis. The trainers at Michigan Hy-Fit know what they're talking about. They truly want you succeed by helping you with technique and encouraging you to push yourself where you can. I’m always shocked when a class is over; it goes by so fast because the class, the trainer, and the moves are so engaging that time flies. I’m never bored. The atmosphere at this gym is first rate. Nobody cares what you look like, what your fitness level is, or what you wear. They meet you where you’re at and everyone is so welcoming and encouraging. The community at this gym is amazing and that comes from the top down. The gym is super clean and there are plenty of towels and sanitizer for you to wipe down the equipment when you're done.

Fantastic experience: If you want to be part of a program that provides all the tools and resources to positively impact you both from a mental and physical standpoint look no further than Hy-Fit Athletics. The thoughtful and methodical approach to programming that the Hy-Fit team takes covers all fitness levels. And, from the owners to the skilled staff of trainers, all are focused on providing the best experience for the member while being genuinely caring, dedicated, passionate, and knowledgeable. Over the course of my 25+ year fitness journey, both privately and at several gyms, I can honestly say Hy-Fit is the new benchmark standard. The Hy-Fit team has established a culture based on integrity creating an environment that is welcoming to all with classes that are fresh and exciting to attend. Each class is designed to challenge its members to the fullest of their capabilities while providing the necessary coaching, tools and encouragement to help the member excel.

Fantastic experience: This is everything you want and need in a gym! The atmosphere is bright and open with trendy design. The classes and training are designed so that you get an AMAZING full body workout using equipment and moves unlike the boring “weights and cardio” we see in other gyms. The pricing is very fair considering each class you are being “trained”. I also take my 10 year old and 14 year old for training with the owner Denny. Not only is there a notable difference in their physique, but also in their emotional/mental strength. Great for all ages. You won’t be disappointed!

Fantastic experience: Denny is absolutely amazing! I have worked with him for many years. We recently moved to Virginia from Troy. I was so concerned about loosing Denny and the gym and loosing the momentum I had but he is continuing to train me with Virtual Training! It’s working out great. I continue to see my weight drop and my body firm up. His attention to each personal program is amazing. For people that are local to Auburn Hill this new gym is open, bright, and everyone is so friendly! This is a 5 star experience!!
