Powerhouse Gym Madison Heights

THE gym for people serious about going to the gym, whatever their level of experience or background are. Forget selfies, focus on your workout.

Beautiful facility and very friendly staff! I got a day pass to access the gym while traveling and got a great workout in
The facility was clean, well equipped and well organized. I wish there was one closer to home for me

I'm a competitive bodybuilder in the NPC (National Physique Committee).

Powerhouse Gym of Madison Heights has proved very helpful in both my off-season training and in my contest prep. The 24/7 access is a lifesaver during prep, when you often need to get in 2 or more workouts per day.

The equipment is scrupulously maintained. An example is the pulley stations. The handles are metal, which I strongly prefer to the plastic and fabric handles some other gyms have. But more than that, the moving parts are well-maintained and lubricated at all times. I belong to another gym in Livonia, and only about half of the resistance on their pulleys comes from the weight stack. The rest comes from friction, because the thing has not seen a drop of lubricant since 1985. No such problems at Powerhouse Madison Heights - all equipment is well maintained.

I also tend to use the Smith Machine for several exercises. My previous gym in Royal Oak only had one Smith Machine, and sometimes a guy would hog it for 45 to 60 minutes, doing his entire workout there. The Madison Heights Powerhouse has, I think, 6 Smith Machines. In all the years I've been going there, I never had to wait for one.

Everything is kept extremely clean and sanitary. The members are good about wiping down their equipment after use, and there are also hand sanitizer stations in the gym.

As a bonus, the dry sauna will take the chill out of your bones on those cold Michigan mornings, before you start your workout.
