City gym will get you right, I learned so much from this place and wouldn’t of reached my fitness goals without them.. Jeff the owner is super cool. Suggest this gym to those that are serious about reaching there fitness goals!

What a terrific gym and friendly staff! Lorraine is my personal trainer and she is wonderful and Pushes me to be my best.

I was visiting this gym while in town with a friend and was happy to be allowed to trial the gym free of charge and even drop in on a class. They have all the equipment Im looking for a typical weight resistance workout. Highly recommend checking it out!

10/10 this place rocks!Tons of weightlifting stuff. Tons of dumbells up to 110 lbs. Four squat racks (and PitShark and LegPres). Has glute bridge equipment too. Tons of benches, SMITH machines, and cardio machines too. Honestly the list goes on and on and theyre regularly updating/adding more. Big olympic mat with bumper plates for deadlifting tooEveryone here is super motivated and is really getting after it which definitely is a good vibe for a gym. Good range of super buff people and beginners, so its a very welcoming environment for all. Staff is also awesome and youll often see them lifting tooTheres also a classroom/studio with wooden floors to do whatever you want there as well as another room with punching bags and room to do turf-based exercises (the turf is coming soon... carpet at the moment). Showers as well if youre on your way to work or whateverThe owner said he wanted to make the gym he always wanted.... and honestly he succeeded. This place has everything (except the bathroom runs out of paper towels sometimes haha)Highly reccomend

Super clean super nice staff. Good workout equipment. Free weights machines what ever ya need. Pretty good price to.

The guys at GRCG are really friendly and it was nice to see that they had a good deal for people in school that was affordable.

Very cool atmosphere. If youve ever been to maximus, similar vibe, but a little cleaner. Lots of varied equipment. Everybody was getting after it so if youre like me and like to be around hungry people this is the spot. Seperate spaces for HIIT stuff. Very impressed and Ive been to gyms all over the country!

I appreciate that the GR City Gym’s owner fully believes that mental health through working out is important to physical wellbeing. Through the 2020 virus insanity, I was able to keep my sanity by having a place to lift weights & do cardio. I lost 30 lbs. and built strength. Most GR City Gym members are serious about lifting weights, staying strong & being healthy, which helps me maintain focus. I highly recommend this gym if you’re a serious weightlifter or focused on a healthy lifestyle. I love that it’s 24/7 so I can go when it fits my schedule and not have to be limited by only certain hours of operation. The pricing is reasonable for having 24/7 access and plenty of equipment.

Very good place to power lift, very friendly and inclusive environment with good personal trainers

Bit of a small place but good equipment and the people there seem nice overall, especially Jeff whos on staff. Very likeable, positive, down to earth guy and he showed me around and took the time to answer all my questions--even let me take one of the protein shakes as a freebie since I forgot my wallet!

Great gym, great times! But really...it’s a cool, industrial basement gym with nice staff members.

Jeff the owner is always happy and helpful. The gym is well sanitized and well kept. Wonderful atmosphere

This local gym is AMAZING. The environment is very friendly and supportive. Ive tried many other gyms in Grand Rapids, this is the one Id recommend to anyone.

The best gym in Michigan if you want to get those gains and PRs!

Boooo👎🏼 First red flag, the employees and owners are all clearly anti-mask, as they were all standing around maskless, looking very embarrassing. On top of that, it is dirty. Sticky, stinky and zero cleaning supplies. 0 stars.

I’ve been a member here for years under multiple owners. Jeff is by far the best. He’s got the place looking the best I’ve seen it and adding new equipment all the time.

Super cool energy, awesome staff, great improvements to come.

This gym is actually disgusting and very expensive for such a minimal amount of equipment

Well, gyms opened back up. I met my trainer today with the intention of working out but upon entering the gym the front desk was completely dark. No one was working. Weights, and equipment were everywhere, mirrors were absolutely filthy (yes, drips, and spray spots from sweat I assume but who knows) and every single trash basket was overflowing with trash so that it spilled on to the floor. Oh, and a nice bonus, a toilet was clogged with nastiness and the bathroom was disgusting. The owner has been operating the entire time during the shut-down and clearly has no concern for safety or sanitary measures at the most basic level. I will be canceling my membership and will never set foot in there again.Long before Covid the owner had a difficult time managing his business and keeping it clean & picked up and it has only gotten worse. I know he means well but good intentions are not what it takes to run a successful business.

Not professional at all made claims that are highly unlikely in business. Claiming that there are no contracts when you have to sign o e when you sign up. And the owner Jeff Phillips after agreeing on a refund on my paid in full membership. He claim they don’t do that and then tried to shorten the amount. And when I addressed it then decided to do the correct amount. Very shady person I would not recommend this place to anybody.

Glad to find this gym! Outstanding!! Especially during a pandemic. Understanding health is utmost important mentally and physically.

Great atmosphere and just about any machine you could ask for.

Ive made this gym my home for almost 2 years and havent looked back since signing up. I would highly recommend this gym to anyone

Grand Rapids City Gym is by far one of my favorite places to workout! Of all the gyms I’ve been to around Grand Rapids, none have had the equipment, personal service and easy access that City Gym has. The 24 hour access is perfect for my schedule. Jeff, the owner, is one of the nicest people I have met and is super engaged with all the members and loves to help any way he can. All the staff is super nice as well! Definitely worth checking out if you’re in the Grand Rapids area.

Grand Rapids City Gym has been a great experience. The staff has an abundance of knowledge that has helped me transition into my healthy lifestyle.

The owner Jeff is an amazing guy and absolutely jacked. Incredibly helpful and never afraid to spot. Hes also insanely knowledgeable about anatomy and is helpful when you need to know how to build weak areas.The gym itself is located just outside of the heart of downtown, but still the most convenient choice. The equipment isnt the newest, but its all well maintained and slowly new things are being brought in. Theres a large separate room for classes and etc that has rings and a punching bag, along with various floor weights for classes that can be used when no classes are in session. Theres plenty of equipment for every muscle group, and Ive never seen more than 15-20 people in the gym at its busiest.The price is fair, at around 30~a month, and being 24/7, with staff 8a-8p(although you can usually see the staff and Jeff hanging around later).

Great gym with a great price!!

City gym is amazing, has all the equipment I could need and want to use to get a good lift in. The staff and owner are super friendly and welcoming.Highly recommend checking this place out for your next workout!

Great staff and great environment

Great community of people. Has everything you need to get a great workout in

Great gym. They have everything you need to work out all of your muscles in a variety of ways.

The gym is in a great location, and with the key-card you can go any time, day or night. The equipment isnt as pretty as a gym like planet fitness, but provides everything you could need to build your body. Great place.

Grand rapids city gym is an excellent gym with a great location, easy 24 access and the best owners you can imagine! The variety of equipment is great for any type of workout and the owner Jeff is always accessible at all hours to assist with advice and help to further your goals. There are also a variety of classes with a welcoming staff and the owners are very involved in a variety of community events.

Has everything for everyone. Whether you’re a heavy lifter, cardio-enthusiast, yogi, HIIT-lover — you name it, it’s there.We also love supporting local business owners who support other local businesses — its full circle.Grand Rapids City Gym is the spot to be.

Seriously the best gym ever! Great equipment, THE MOST knowledgeable and friendly staff, and a real community. Recently revamped by the new owner Jeff, they host fun events and parties around Grand Rapids, have 24/7 access, constantly bring in new equipment, and serve smoothies :-)

My Son-in-Law was visiting from Germany for one week. He is in the military and needs to keep up on his exercising. Grand Rapids Gym made it easy and possible for him to keep up his goals. Thank you so much for helping me get this to him as a gift, I ever so much appreciate it!

I have lived in Grand Rapids for four years and tried plenty of gyms in that time - Grand Rapids City Gym is by far the best. The staff are very welcoming and will answer any questions you have. There is no better way to de-stress after a busy day then coming here and working out. They have a ton of equipment and I never feel cramped when working out, even when its busy. Also, great location!

Everything you need, 24/7, and right downtown. Great price too

The staff is great and always available to help! I train with Seth and he is amazing to work with. This gym is a cool environment and top line.

Moved from planet fitness to here and havent regretted it yet. The Grand Rapids City Gym is in a really nice location by the river on Monroe. It usually isnt too busy and has plenty of weights to use even during peak hours (around 5). It is nice to be able to get a workout in without having to wait an extremely long time. Not only that, the staff is very welcoming and seems to be more of a welcoming atmosphere then what I have seen at other gyms!

The gym and owner and incredible! Definitely a good vibe and probably the best gym I’ve visited in Grand Rapids.

Ive been a member for over a year now. Love the feel of this place, brick interior walls with lots of windows. Very reasonably priced. Great fitness club to join, especially if you like to workout at lunch and work in Grand Rapids downtown. Ive found the personal trainers to be top notch! People at the front desk are very friendly and make awesome post-workout protein shakes!

Love this place, Jeff the owner is the manVery welcoming and comfortable gym atmosphere! No matter where you are at in your physical journeyWhether you are just starting on your fitness journey, or a seasoned vet to working out.City Gym is the place to train!

Best gym in GR! Lots of great equipment and an awesome staff. You can’t beat the prices. Great mix of equipment and perfect for those who love Olympic lifting. The owner Jeff is always around and making improvements to the gym. 👍👍

City Gym has been my best gym experience in Grand Rapids. Personal trainer Alan helped me fix my form to prevent a nerve injury. This gym has the equipment I need and it’s not crowded. Definitely recommend.

The staff is super welcoming and informative. They make it their mission to help teach those who are just starting to workout and the facility is super well kept. Would definitely recommend joining this gym!!!

The new owner, Jeff, has turned this gym into a positive space. Great energy, fully equipped, and the trainers have a wealth of knowledge. Solid place!

Best value gym in the Grand Rapids area, by far! Formerly the GR Challenge Center, Grand Rapids City Gym, under the new ownership of Jeff Phillips, is getting the face lift it desperately needed, taking it from average to outstanding. Whether youre a full-time fitness enthusiast or just getting started on that journey to a better you, with affordable membership rates, approachable staff, and a friendly atmosphere, Grand Rapids City Gym is a gym you can thrive in.

Ive been a regular here for years, I love this place and the people. This is definitely a friendly neighborhood gym, with members who are serious about working hard. We have fresh ownership so lots of exciting new changes are underway!

Ive been coming to this gym for about 5 years now and have always found it to meet my needs. The staff are friendly and Ive learned from several of them proper techniques and mechanics and posture that have not only brought my fitness to a higher level, but also resulted in relieving pain in my neck and shoulders. Jeff, the owner, is engaged, connecting with customers. Its obvious this is more than just a business for him.

Ive been going to this gym for several years now, even when it was at its low point under its previous management team it was both affordable and accessible.Now under its new management team it has really grown into one the best gyms in Grand Rapids. The regulars are super welcoming to new comers and everyone is generally polite and willing to spot or let you work in on their machine.10/10 would gym again.

Underground. Great location. Semi old school feel. Need heavier dumbbells 😉 but other than that great gym!

The best gym in the Grand Rapids area. Even better community with the most encouraging members and staff who become family!

Place is awesome. Owners are great and very educated. Finally GR has a gym that is 24 hr, and not over a hundred a month for a membership.. 10/10 people.

The only Training facility we use !! the owner Jeff is outstanding

I love the atmosphere here! Its never too busy, never have to wait for machines or equipment, etc. There are always personal trainers there throughout the day who are really knowledgeable and ready to answer questions. They have 24 hour access key cards too with a membership! Definitely my favorite gym in the Grand Rapids area.

Staff is super friendly, and the place is always clean. I love that theyre open 24 hours. Jolies personal training is a huge help if youre just getting started on a new healthy routine, she can give you lots of tips and encouragement (and also kick your butt). And I look forward to yoga with Tara every week!

Nice place. Five stars.

This gym and the staff are amazing! Never have to wait for equipment as it’s a 24/7 gym. I would highly recommend joining if you live in the downtown area!

This is the greatest gym of all time. Very welcoming and kind staff that are ready to answer any of your questions. I’ve never been happier to be apart of a gym than I have with GR Challenge.

This is the best gym membership I’ve ever had. Every regular is always greeting each other. The staff is always making somebody sweat. I’ve known the owner Jeff since my undergraduate days at Eastern almost a decade ago. You can get a great power workout in on the deadlift platform or with free weighs and barbells; or with machines and TRX ropes. Having 24/7 access also makes all the difference in the world as a city bartender. 25 out of 10 would recommend.

I have never felt more at home in a gym. I have been attending for more than a year now after moving from Texas. I mostly go to the classes offered by the gyms coaches Rachel, Trish and Zach. They are motivating and push you to your limits, but at the same time teach you proper techniques. I have met some of my best friends in Grand Rapids by going to this gym and will really miss it when I have to leave!

This gym has such a great feel to it. All I can say is give it a try and see for yourself

There is an abundance of workout equipment and strength training experts in a cozy and comfortable environment.

Low key gym that has everything you need. Great post-workout shake as well

Been going here for years and when they took over it only got better!

Great gym. Honestly a fantastic gym and the dues are so cheap.. and gives you 24 hour access which I love. Most of their equipment is new and it never gets too crowded. Would definitely recommend this gym if you live in the downtown area

Great people! Great gym! Highly recommended.

One of the Best gyms in Grand Rapids. Staff is friendly and super helpful with good advice. I’ve Been attending 3+ years now and plan to keep my workouts here!

Love working with this staff and their enthusiasm around fitness. Always a great experience.

Awesome gym that has everything needed for a great work out. Super friendly staff and clean equipment.

Through GR Challenge Center I have learned a lot about my body and the proper techniques for lifting. The classes are great! Staff are very friendly. Definitely would recommend.

Great gym run by great people, price point is excellent as well, right in the middle of places like Snap fitness and MVP... 24 hour access as well :)

Rachel (Current manager) is doing a fantastic job at curating the gym to give as much variety/options to the members of the gym. I highly recommend anyone looking for a 24/7 gym to check them out.

Amazing place, friendly inviting atmosphere and the people who work there are fantastic.

Really amazing staff, great equipment, perfect atmosphere for anyone trying to get into the health game!!

Great gym with a lot of good equipment and 24/7 accessibility! The classes are challenging but fun and the instructors are all very engaging and encouraging!

Great place to focus and work out. Friendly staff!

Wide variety of equipment and super friendly staff!

Its local and its 24-7👌

GR city gym was a no-brainer to join. It’s 24/7 access, central location, unique setting, and commitment to continual improvement made me sign up within 5 minutes of walking through the door. I didn’t even need a trial. As time has passed, I have come to realize the beating heart of this place is it’s people. The staff and other members have become my friends and also the people I look to for motivation to push myself to be healthiest I have ever been. The gym isn’t just a place for fitness, it’s a place for friends and community. I am so lucky to have a place like this to go to.#grcitygym #madcapcoffee #grandrapidscitygym
