If you are a weight lifter looking to mix things up, I’d check out the classes here.My wife has been going to classes and personal training here for years. I recently started going with her to some classes and loved it.I’m a very “old school” lifter. I workout with heavy weights training 2-3 muscle a session and one of my favorite movies is pumping iron. I also enjoy running but never tried a circuit class.The circuit is really fun. I’d recommend not being afraid to modify things or not do every exercise. You can still get a solid lifting routine in if you tweak things, but the real benefits is it’s like smashing lifting and cardio together, so you get a great calorie burn compared to normal lifting. They also don’t yell or push you in odd ways which I appreciated (Thanks Valerie!). I expected the trainer to yell to go faster, harder, etc but no they just encourage you.If you are more an old school lifter like me. I’d recommend supplementing your schedule with 1-2 circuit classes a week. I burn about 600-700 calories per class and get a very good workout. Just give yourself 3ish classes to adjust, I’ve been lifting over 20 years and I was shocked at the amount of variety/moves I’ve never done.They have a 3 class for $15 special for new members. I’d encourage the owner to keep that special, since I think you need a few classes to get the hang of things.Also the place is super duper clean! Really like Retrofit and I think its great supplement for those into weight lifting.

My husband and I have been wanting to get into shape (especially as we get closer to our 50's) and found this incredible studio. We've been working with Jill for 6 months and absolutely love it. Jill is an amazing trainer-just the perfect amount of motivation, knowledge, kindness and push. With varying workouts every single time-we've hardly repeated an exercise which keeps us interested and excited to workout. The studio is a judgement free zone! I feel comfortable to be myself, work at my pace and wear whatever feels good. Every trainer and every Client is kind and welcoming and it feels like a fun community of people focused on better health and working towards their individual level of fitness. Jill and Retrofit are stuck with us forever! Take it from someone who dreaded working out until I joined this wonderful studio.

RetroFit Studio is clean. All the staff are hardworking and friendly. As a person that has not consistently worked out throughout my life and someone who is overweight (and has had bad trainers in the past) I never feel judged at RetroFit. My trainers have pushed me just far enough without pushing me too far. (Previous trainers in other places pushed me so hard I had dry heaves). They are encouraging and give you the confidence to keep moving forward.

Retrofit is the most underrated, awesome HIIT-style gym in Metro-Detroit. I started going to Retrofit back in 2017 after moving back to Royal Oak from Los Angeles. Since then, the owner Brad has continued to evolve his gym both in supplies, training style, and employees. They offer affordable 1:1 training as well as group fitness classes that are effective and efficient. As a trainer myself, I love their method of using drop-sets, heavy weights, and functional movement/cardio.

I liked the fast pace yet ability to still have dedicated time at each station. The coach was very helpful and checked on me and helped with form throughout. I felt comfortable right away!

There is nothing not to like about this place. Today was my first experience and I had the pleasure of having Mr. Joe Jeross as the class trainer. It was quite challenging and enjoyable for any fitness level that you possess. The pricing is incredibly reasonable per class or per month. It is a small intimate space but serious gym, it was quite nice. I am looking forward to many more unique workouts/ further experience here. Wonderful neighborhood gym.

I am so happy with my personal training at Retrofit. Ambrose is professional, motivating and so nice to work with! He adapts with your personality and pushes you to your personal limits. Thanks to the owner, Brad, for being a great first impression during the consultation. Looking forward to many years here!
