Fantastic experience: Alan’s Torque classes are the BEST! The workouts are dynamic, challenging & you leave every class with a sense of accomplishment. Alan is such a supportive & approachable coach — he really goes out of his way to ensure you have the correct form & understanding of the movements.

Fantastic experience: I have taken two really great classes at DBG - one with Coach Terra and one with Coach Anna. Both coaches created a welcoming environment for a newcomer, providing guidance to keep all attendees safe and encouragement/motivation to ensure everyone maximized the workout for themselves. I especially appreciated the ability of both coaches to balance a structured, prepared workout with the opportunity for individual choice so each person in class could meet their individual goals - while still working out together in a group environment. Another aspect of DBG that I really appreciated was the COVID precautions and safety measures that were in place. You can certainly feel that this business is rooted in community care and togetherness, and they welcome newcomers with open arms. I first tried DBG at the recommendation of a close friend who has been going to this gym for a couple years now. It has been incredible to see the positive impact DBG has had on not only his physical health but also his mental health and his spirit. I truly believe that the combination of exercise and community DBG offers made it possible for him to thrive throughout the pandemic.

Fantastic experience: Firebirds M/W Class ! Moms/newly postpartum ladies; body changes, hormone changes all the changes - the Firebirds class is where you need to be! Coach Terra is a hard working mama herself, who understands the ups & downs of motherhood on top of fitting in healthy movement. Having a group of moms & kids to work out with is a game changer! Truly the most positive, encouraging & challenging work out experience I’ve had (without having to find a babysitter, kids welcome!). I have been to other work out classes where the instructors are intimidating & it was easy to fall behind if I didn’t fully understand a movement. Terra takes time to show you the proper movements, challenges you to push yourself harder & encourages your body/mind/soul along the way! It’s more than a work out, it’s truly a community. Being a new mom, it’s awesome to have this class!

Lindsay VanNieulande 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve never gone to other gyms because they feel very intimidating but this summer me and my kids have been joining the owner Coach Terra, in the Firebirds class. We always feel so welcomed and valued upon arrival, it feels like a family!! Coach Terras drive and passion not just for her business but also helping people of all body types, experience or ability to feel empowered, strong and capable is truly inspiring and motivating. I always leave time with Coach Terra feeling stronger physically and encouraged to continue leading a healthy life!! i also found the DBG app helpful to view the calendar of classes and to easily register and pay for them. I like the variety of class options as well!! Definitely a gym to check out if you’ve felt intimidated by gyms in the past or just need guidance in your gym experience!!

Patrick Mullan-Koufopoulos 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Detroit Body Garage is much more than a gym, it's a community builder. Terra (the owner) works with each member of the gym to find what they need, what they want, and how they can achieve it. All the coaches are focused on helping you become the best version of yourself, and meet you were you are in that process. After over a year of going to DBG, I am still excited and energized every time I show up. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: I’ve taken several classes when I lived in the area. It’s such a warm environment to strive for mind body and spirit goals! Highly recommend, one of the best things about this small business is you will see the owner out and about in Detroit making a difference as well. Spend your money here you won’t regret it!

Brad Terpstra 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: A "good" gym is different for every person, but what makes DBG so great is that they work incredibly hard to deliver exceptional training for anyone who walks through the doors! You will not regret taking classes here! A huge array of classes, online and in person, and incredibly engaged, enthusiastic coaches that want everyone to get as much out of the experience as they can! The owner is a Detroit resident and incredibly passionate about the community, with regular, free community workouts being hosted here! Sometimes followed by an ice cream truck!

Fantastic experience: Terra, Geo, and the rest of the coaches at Detroit Body Garage are the best! They offer such fun, varied classes that push you to be better. At every class I’ve taken, they’ve gone out of their way to explain and adjust the workout for every different level, so you never feel like it’s over your head. Such a welcoming place to workout with an amazing sense of community.

Melanie Depcinski 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: This is just the best gym. Terra is fabulous and the Firebirds group has been so welcoming and supportive. If you have a little one and are a Mom that needs to get out and get moving, this is for you! Everything is outside, super Covid conscious. Couldn’t ask for a better environment. Thank you Terra!

Jennifer Hellickson 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Top-notch training facility - with heart & soul. I’ve known the owner for years; she not only lives & breathes the philosophy of movement + community, but her whole team is exceptional. Work(out) hard and see positive results - not just with your body but your mindset & outlook, as well. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism , Quality Started going to DBG this past summer and immediately loved the community there! My schedule changed and I can’t go as much as I would like anymore. Definitely miss it! I love how you can customize the workout to fit your level and ability.

Marty Keeter 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I look forward to my Friday sessions with Coach Terra and Coach River! Who says that about working out. It's the most supportive community, fair prices, fun and challenging. I've tried other workouts/trainers and they've all been mediocre at best. But I truly look forward to our early morning sessions. It's amazing the care, love, passion that Coach Terra, Coach River and others put into not only your health, but the health of the community that surrounds them. They are engaged, excited and loving. I can't recommend this place enough!

Laura Khalil 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Terra Castro is hands-down one of the best trainers in Metro Detroit and she has assembled a team of top notch coaches that make Detroit Body Garage more than just a gym to work out in, but a true community. You will be welcome at any age, size and fitness ability. If you ever need modifications, they are excellent about working with you to find what works. The price is unbeatable and the quality of instruction is top notch. You will get a fantastic workout, at whatever your level of fitness. I recommend Detroit Body Garage enthusiastically!

Fantastic experience: I've been trying to find the perfect gym for years since moving to Detroit. I've tried just doing barre, yoga, general gym memberships etc. to no avail. I'm a busy small biz owner and needed something quick and effective to improve my health physically and mentally with physical results, while also feeling like I'm contributing in my community to better other small biz owners as well. Terra (the owner) is incredible. Her spirit and dedication to helping our community in West Village is crucial to our city's well-being. She also is such a positive energy that after class I can genuinely say my day is significantly better from starting it off with her classes! My body is also changing and doing things I never thought possible. I legit did 16 full push ups today twice in a row and a month ago I could barely do 8. She's opening a bigger location soon and we are all so excited!!! She also has very approachable and reasonable prices for her classes and memberships and offers family packs (2 people related or unrelated) to save on cost and make exercise attainable in our community.

Fantastic experience: Visited the body garage multiple times now. I have been consistently impressed with the quality of the classes. Terra and her team do an excellent job teaching in an engaging, positive and constructive way. I highly recommend checking this place out.

Eric Morris 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: It is difficult to write a review about a gym; Exercise can look like, and mean, various things to ranges of individuals. In the few sessions I have attended at the Detroit Body Garage the staff has been knowledgeable, organized, and most of all, welcoming. For me, it has been excellent to see an owner that fosters care and appreciation in the community, all while creating workouts that are upbeat and engaging. I am confident that whatever your exercise need, those at the Detroit Body Garage will not disappoint.
