Motor City Barbell & Fitness Club

Fantastic experience: An excellent gym, amazing community, fantastic training and coaches. MCB will change your life for the better!

Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough great things about Motor City Barbell. I’ve been training here for a little over two years now, and the the growth I’ve had physically and mentally when it comes to training has been the highlight of my past couple years. If you are new to lifting or advanced, Justin will adapt to wherever you’re at and create a custom program that suits you. Check it out if you’re looking for an amazing community that will impact you in the best way. It will change your life!

Fantastic experience: This is one of the best and most comfortable barbell gyms in the area. You really can’t go wrong, ownership is really involved. You have can be a beginner. You can be a CrossFit beast. It doesn’t matter. Really glad I found this place.

Fantastic experience: Joined after moving to Michigan a year ago. Best gym and coaches in the area, hands down. They've helped me get stronger, faster, and more athletic overall than ever before. Improved my mobility significantly as well. They listen and program to your individual goals. Wouldn't train anywhere else in the area.

Fantastic experience: Justin is a top-notch trainer and nutritionist. He is incredibly knowledgeable not only about what is the best approach to your fitness needs but also how to change your lifestyle. I have learned a lot and know I can trust him to watch me like a hawk and know what challenges I will meet. I have been working with him for 6 years and can highly recommend him.

Fantastic experience: Awesome place to simply come and hit the weights. No games. Clean place. Everything you need to become what you want to. Very happy to have found Justin and this gym.

Fantastic experience: Lauren and Justin are as legit as they come. My wife and I are physical therapists by profession and are therefor picky when it comes to having others plan exercises and supervise technique. While at the gym you could convince me that these two are colleagues with advanced degrees with how they handle modifications to exercises and advise that they have given.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Justin is an exceptionally patient and knowledge trainer. I've learned, grown, and felt satisfied with every visit.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Becoming a MCB member was one of the best decisions I ever made. The owner is great, the coaches are knowledgable and the place is clean and well equipped. I’ve recommended several friends and they all love it, too. This place is the best!

Fantastic experience: Great little gym owned and operated by one of the most capable, intelligent coaches I've ever met. They did an excellent job adapting to covid, making sure everything is clean and safe so people can continue working out. Highly recommend for anyone of any fitness/experience level.

Fantastic experience: Why are you not lifting here? Also, why aren’t you partnering with Justin to reshape your life. He’s brilliant, from nutritional help, to lifting coaching. His circuit creation is intense but never overwhelming. He’s focus on teaching is a breath of fresh air. The facility is spotless and filled with everything you need. Also, i never knew rubber bands could make you hurt so good.

Fantastic experience: Great place to work on yourself. Justin is a Great Coach to help you accomplish your goals

Fantastic experience: I joined the gym summer 2020 shortly after pandemic started. I just left a bigger gym with a lot of fancy equipment, but I wanted to find a gym closer to my home with easier access to owner/coaches. I am so grateful I found this gym— within a mile from my house! Just a smidge over a year later, I decided to try OLY training with a coach there. The atmosphere is great & coaching is fantastic. Even if all you do is “open gym” membership— you can bother someone for a bit of help. Also, the facility is CLEAN. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Motor city barbell is a clean and welcoming environment! Justin works so hard to build a community of humans who want to get stronger and support each other. Justin is also always investing in new equipment to foster more growth in the gym. Fantastic gym and you should absolutely check it out! Lauren is also a fantastic and fun strength coach!

Fantastic experience: Excellent programming helped me drop 2 min off of my 5k time

Fantastic experience: FANTASTIC GYM I was new in town looking for a Crossfit/group style gym to train in. Stopped by Motor City Barbell quickly to check it out for 5 minutes. 5 minutes turned into about 20-30 minutes chatting with Owner/Operator Justin about all the gym offers to its members, the community he is building and how he has tailored the gym to best accommodate his members. Open gym with great hours allow me to come in on my schedule and be flexible with my availability outside of the group classes. The group classes lead by Justin and his partner are great! He really takes account of each individual in the class (capped at 8-10), points out where we can improve on form and is constantly pushing us to go longer and harder with a positive attitude. The facility itself has a bathroom, shower, lockers,water, coffee and supplements stocked so it’s a one stop shop for its members. Can’t speak more positive about this gym and can’t wait to get back in it. Highly recommend everyone stop by and support local business owners like Justin.

Fantastic experience: 4 years into my fitness journey I still couldn't find the "thing" to keep me motivated to show up for myself. After months of admiring posts from a friend who was a member of Motor City Barbell, I decided to take a leap of faith and I am so glad I did! The workouts are fun and challenging, but it's the community that keeps me coming back for more! If you're looking to see real change and gain a community of support, Motor City Barbell is for you!! Thank you Coach Justin, and most importantly, Coach Mya ;), for all that you do!

Fantastic experience: Motor City Barbell is more than a gym, it’s a community. Justin and Jess are fantastic coaches who care. They are really good about watching your form and are super encouraging! I suggest setting up time for a tour if you’re interested.

Fantastic experience: Good, open air facility, small size classes attended by a friendly community of people of all skill and fitness levels. And an amazing four-legged coach!

Fantastic experience: Motor City Barbell has a nice, intimate setting making it great for a personal workout/lift session. Owner is personable and laid back. Highly recommend this gym for anyone at any ability level.

Fantastic experience: Justin is amazing! Such a positive environment to get fit for all body types. I hate big gyms because I'm always self-conscious about the way I look. Justin and everyone who works out here are welcoming and non-judgmental. I've been an athlete since I was a kid, but I haven't been consistently working out for the past 3+ years. In the past 8 weeks working with Justin, I feel like my old self again. I cannot thank him enough!

Fantastic experience: I've been working with Justin for over a year. From the moment that you meet, Justin treats you like an old friend. He listens to what your goals are and works on your personal plan. Justin observes, coaches and will adjust your routine on the fly. I'll admit, it's not easy for me. I work a lot and I get stressed. That makes me want to slack off. Justin knows how to motivate me to get me back on track. I also have had some issues in the past with my hips and back. Justin did some research and recommended specific stretches and to work with a roller. This helped me tremendously! I still have a long way to go, I have the utmost confidence that Justin is the person to help me reach that goal.

Fantastic experience: Been training with Justin for 2 years. When we first started, I was injuried from a car accident, could barely stand for 5 minutes. The skills that Justin has, helped me strengthen my back and core, plus the proper way to exercise. For over 20 years of working out, I am finally learning the correct way to exercise with the training from Justin. The gym facility is an incredible environment and extremely motivating to meet your goals.

Fantastic experience: Justin is an awesome trainer and is usually even more excited for your progress than you are. He has a great way of encouraging his clients to push themselves to be stronger every day while always taking the time to make sure they do it safely. Justin has created a great community at Motor City Barbell and I've never enjoyed working out so much as I have since coming to this gym. Keep it up, JT!

Fantastic experience: Been training with Justin for about a year and a half and have made great strides in my fitness! The new place is great, has every I need and no waiting on equipment! Check Justin out when you are ready to make a change!

Fantastic experience: Motor City Barbell and Fitness Club is an outstanding place to workout and get fit! Your personal fitness goals are taken seriously by Justin, the owner, and he is going to work with you to develop a fitness plan that will boost your well-being and give you a really positive outlook on your health and making working out fun!

Fantastic experience: If you're looking for a bad ass place to have fun and workout. Look no further because this is the place to be. All the equipment you need to get the body you're looking for in a more exclusive environment. The owner / Trainer is a former Marine who will motivate, inspire and is very dedicated to his clients.
