Fitness & Gyms in Detroit, MI

“As an athlete I need to be challenged — I’ve never been to a gym where I got that until I went to Legacy. The coaches are constantly pushing you in the best way and they check in consistently to make sure you are meeting your goals — they actually care. So glad I found this gym”

“Love this gym. It's always clean and well-maintained, the staff is always lovely, and the atmosphere in the morning is always so friendly and welcoming.

The only complaint I have is that the lady that claps on the treadmill every morning loud enough to hear through noise cancellation doesn't get reprimanded. The clapping is just as bad if not worse than having music playing on speaker, which is not allowed.”

“Huge place and with the amount of ppl that maybe here at once, I love that they have two stretching units. Would be nice if they had two horizontal wall mounted stretching pole.”

“I really enjoy working out at this location! The staff is amazing- polite- helpful & friendly. They go out of their way to help you out. It is very clean. Emma is excellent at her job!!!. The trainers also do an awesome Job. Shout out to Darren. I also appreciate the people who work out here- they are very friendly & kind. Thank you all for all your hard work & for always having an excellent environment to work out in!”

“Love the no judgement and getting a bit stronger after Femur break the massage chairs are great this time of day is the best because it's empty and I can stay for a couple hours Been here since 2:30 and maybe 5 people have came and went I can get my 2 hours in and have peace and quiet as well love this location”

“This is a very nice facility, easy access with free parking garage for patients!! If you’re a Detroit sports fan there are some very cool things displayed here also!!”

“Today was my very first class and Winston was my Saturday instructor he was absolutely amazing. He was Highly energetic, personable, insightful, and kind!! Thank you Orange Theory and Toya + Winston for a wonderful first Saturday class as I was originally nervous as a new comer! Looking forward to more classes with them! ?”

“The results speaks for themselves. From someone who has never consistently worked out, the trainers have worked with me to reach my personal goals and I am blown away by the results.”

“I have known the owner for over 20 years when I was a size 16 and he trained at the power house Rosedale. Trained for 3 months lost 8 sizes. Now 20 years later I have not gained the weight back and I workout 2 to 3 times a week. BEST TRAINER EVER!!!!!!!”

“8/4/2025 5*
I only started about a month and a half ago, but I've had experience with other boxes before, and this one takes the cake. In this past month, I've tried to meet as many coaches as I could and attended a variety of time slots to get to know the other athletes. Every one of them is good people.
Programming is awesome and challenging.
Coaches are aligned yet offer a variety of coaching styles (all of which I appreciate for different reasons), and injury prevention is shown to be a priority through both programming via thoughtful post-MetCon exercises and the coaches' quick critical thinking for scaling, empathy for knowing how we'll probably want to push ourselves further than we should, and encouragement for when we might have to do less than we want. Additionally, I'm seeing a lot of HWPO-type programming, and Mat Fraser is no-joke one of my heroes. Coaching and programming strongly exceeded my expectations. 5*
Facility is very clean and the equipment is all in good working condition.
For a smaller, local box (as opposed to those giant facility ones), I was surprised to find an AssaultRunner, SkiERG, and GHD as well as stocked showers. At least three ropes! At least two high ring pairs! Aesthetic is pretty cool to me. North and East facing windows are perfect for catching that sunrise and not baking in the evening. Facility and equipment exceeded my expectations. 4*
Classes and fitness community are great vibes.
I know that this is not entirely within the business's control, but I would be remiss not to mention the culture that they have shaped here. All the other athletes are encouraging and friendly. People seem to care about one another, and I truly felt welcomed without any judgment. From jumping between different classes at different times, both the coaches and the other athletes really make it hard for me to choose a favorite class to attend, which is really a good sign imho. Classes and fitness community greatly exceeded my expectations 5*
Extra Credit: Ethical Business Practice and Community
As much as a I am intrigued to see state-of-the-art super-facilities with all the latest tech on a massive scale, I will almost always prefer the smaller local business that both knows the community it's born in and also continuously gives back to that community. I came to this box knowing from its mission statement online that it was an inclusive space and, from its instagram, that it supports a diverse group of athletes. I later learned about how much it gives back to the community with its accessible CrossFit Kids program and donations it puts forth for the nearby school all while shaping our next generation to be upstanding empathic individuals. Additionally, as a member of the LGBTQ community, it mattered immensely to see that they still did an OUTWOD and contributed to protecting LGBTQ members and LGBTQ youth. This is a large part of why I feel safe in this gym. Core City Crossfit also offers a SoberWOD that I believe is free, and while I have not attended, I strongly believe there is immense value to this program and, to be frank, its mere existence has subconsciously already shifted my alcohol intake to much healthier habits; not even my doctor has been able to make such a noticeable difference. Bahaha! Lastly, I don't know if this gets much recognition, but this box has a monthly email newsletter that I actually read through and thoroughly enjoy. That's just a me-thing, but I love it. Ethical Business Practice and Community greatly greatly exceeded my expectations +5*
Overall 5* Thanks, y'all! <3”

“I've been a member of CrossFit BMW for the past 3 years and have had only positive experiences. Coach Jarrod is knowledgeable and friendly. He is realistic but will motivate you and help you become stronger than you thought you could be. The equipment is always in great condition and the programing is new every day. One of the best parts of the gym is the diverse community, I have made many good friends simply by working out at BMW. Worth every single penny and more, has become a huge part of my daily life.”

“I love this gym. Way more comprehensive than the chain gyms - which are the only other gyms in the area. I have a community membership which is affordable for me. It also gets me access to the pool. ??”
