This is by far the best workout for me. I really like that everything is set up for you to follow the instruction and get it done quickly. You get to set your own pace and you can really push yourself if you choose to!
Just started Eileens virtual EMOM + Yoga sessions a couple days ago. It was such a great experience!! The way AFS has adapted to these times is amazing. I am so happy to be able to connect with others and get moving in the morning, all from the safety of my own home.Eileen is an exceptional fitness practitioner. Her voice pumps me up and keeps me positive throughout the workout, but she also knows when to let me do my own thing. She understands that we all choose to be there in the sessions, and her balance of energy, verbal feedback, and quiet moments for us to just be in the zone creates an unparalleled workout experience.Following the most intense workout Ive done in years, I then get to soothe my spirit with some relaxing yoga. I have no regrets signing up for these sessions.Keep up the good work, Eileen! And thank you to the entire AFS Rochester (and other locations) team!!
Thoughts/Problems: You want to workout and don’t know where to start? You are tired of your old routine? You have been working out for awhile, but need a challenge? You enjoy socializing? You still want to eat pizza and sweets and also want to be fit? .... well that last one is real life and yes it is possible to have a healthy balance. Solution: Make an appointment at Applied Fitness Solutions Rochester Hills!I have been a part of this family for almost 3 years now and they have helped me through injuries, job loss, and mental health. Bottom line is that the staff is real and they get to know YOU and genuinely care. You can’t help but feel good after your workout! The connections and friendships you make are worth all the sweating and sore muscles. I appreciate everything they do and owe them so much! Thank you AFS!!!
This is a great place to find just the right workout for YOU! Caring, personable and highly skilled exercise professionals to assist with ALL your health and fitness goals. As a local Physical therapist I recommend their services to my clients knowing they will receive excellent service and care here.
The instructors are some of the most knowledgeable in the business, hands down, no question on that one. But what truly sets AFS apart from all other fitness facilities is the people...the community and friendships that are created with the staff and members alike...that feeling of coming home every time you walk through their doors. I am grateful every day that I am able to be part of this community.
Applied Fitness Solutions Rochester Hills is no ordinary gym. You have a trainer who helps you work toward your goals and checks in with you to offer support. The team of other trainers and staff take the time to know you, you’re not a number here. During your workouts there is always a trainer watching form, offering encouragement and setting the tone for an incredible workout.
I highly recommend AFS Rochester. I have been a member for 3 years and love the combination of cardiovascular and weight training workouts and this year, I added yoga to the mix. The trainers and leadership are professional yet personal. The best part about being a member is feeling like you belong and have a supportive community.
AFS is awesome!! Its a great community of diverse people looking to improve their health. The staff are smart, trained professionals that really care and provide incredible support and positive energy. All you need to do is show up and provide the effort. My wife and I have been members for over 1-1/2 years and have seen significant improvements in our health.
This is by far the best gym in the area. All of the coaches and staff are the most friendly, motivating, and kind people I have ever met. Every time I go in, I am welcomed with a smile and a welcoming environment. When im at the gym, they make me forget about all the little things and just enjoy trying to better myself. They make fitness and nutrition enjoyable. Every time I leave a workout, I fell motivated to eat better and not just snack on junk food. I would and have recommend this gym to everyone no matter what their fitness goals may be. If your looking for a friendly, FAMILY environment, this is the gym for you. #fitfam
The staff is the best anywhere to provide motivation, technique tips, and fun to all of the workouts! Perfect format of options and classes to improve health and fitness. Unmatched personal attention while also being a positive group atmosphere, no matter what your level of fitness or body shape.
This is more than a gym, its a community of amazing and supportive people who truly care about you and your wellness. I look forward to going to the classes, and always feel uplifted when I leave. Their closure due to Covid-19 didnt stop them from doing what they do best; they seamlessly transitioned to online classes and provide a virtual community (open to non-members!) on Facebook. Im so grateful to have their resources and support, especially during these unprecedented times.
Hands down the best fitness staff in the Tri county area. The trainers keep you motivated and on track to meet your fitness goals, they are in constant contact with you to keep you on track and help you with any questions or struggles. The strength training and fitness classes are great for any level of fitness. With the ability to modify any of the exercises on the fly you can succeed and surpass you goals.
Excellent place for strength training
Joined April 8th, 2019, best decision I have made for myself. I love it at AFS, staff goes over and above all your needs. Clean, friendly, family like atmosphere . Highly recommended. Do yourself a favor and take the time to at least call them . They offer free trial classes and have something for the whole family.
It is more then a gym, it’s a community. The trainers are genuinely invested in You as an individual, there’s no status quo. Best investment you could make in yourself. Healthy, fit, and strong in mind and body.
This place is truly amazing and has changed my life in so many ways! Not only is it the place I go to every day to work out but the people there are the kindest, most knowledgeable, lovable individuals that I proudly call my family now. I’ve never experienced anything like this place and am lucky to have found this hidden gem. If you’re sick of big box gyms with rows of treadmills and no motivation from the people there who don’t even know your name, then look no further and come give this place a try! I promise you will be glad you did.
By far the best gym that we have been to! The atmosphere is like none other, the trainers are encouraging, engaging and the best we have ever worked with. We walk in and are excited to be part of such a great place and feel like family! We will not go anywhere else again!! So thankful to have found such a great place and people that are literally changing our life!!
Excellent workouts and everyone there - staff and members - make you feel comfortable and welcome. The trainers are very attentive, friendly and knowledgable so you never feel like youre left on your own figuring out the exercises or equipment. Huge locker room, lots of showers and every part of the building is always super clean. AFS makes me look forward to going to the gym, which I never thought Id say in my life!!
Applied Fitness Solutions (Rochester Hills) is a training facility where the leading characters are not just the state of the art equipment; more importantly the stand out element is YOU and the knowledgeable trainers who are interested in doing their job perfectly. The classes are for ALL levels, from beginner to elite. There is a personal touch at AFS as you are positively pushed and IF you decide to give it your all...then they are there to help you get the most out of every workout. It will always start with YOU making the decision to work hard, but sometimes small and friendly training facility paired with focused and knowledgeable trainers are the perfect combination necessary for a consistent healthy workout. AFS makes training and exercise easy to incorporate into your life as a permanent consistent activity.
Applied fitness solutions is not like any gym Ive ever gone to. The people who lead this place welcome you in like a family, commit to pushing you to be the best but always encouraging you to enjoy the journey. There is a healthy mindset here, every workout is extremely challenging yet the joy in this place makes it all worth it. The accountability they provide is what has kept me on track and their friendly support has created a very warm community that Im honored to be a part of.
I love AFS. Even if Im not always excited to go, Im always glad that I went. I get a good workout in and leave feeling energized and powerful. There are trainers in every class making sure you do the exercises correctly, which is really important for me. I also like the group setting because Im more likely to push myself when other people are watching. Lastly, you get your own personal trainer which is amazing! Mine is Eileen and she is so sweet and helpful, and is more focused on your mental and physical health than the number on the scale. There truly are so many great things about AFS!
If you want to join a gym with thoughtful professionals and a beautiful facility... then Join the Applied Fitness Family
I started at AFS in February and it was a fantastic decision. Great people, great equipment and the approach is exactly what I needed. You never realize how much even thought you are working out a lot, you are working out a lot the wrong way..This has been so beneficial and people have noticed a different after the first month.Nice job and you have a liferChris
I joined in January 2020 and have attended regularly 3 times per week. This is remarkable since I have never enjoyed the commercial gym experience. One hour of circuit training gives me a nice combination of cardio, strength and core training. No one is admiring themselves in a mirror or showing off for the opposite sex. You get in and get the job done with helpful suggestions from the staff. Along the way you make new acquaintances with like minded people without judgement. Shout out to Eileen and Trent. They put a smile on everyone’s face.
AFS is more than just a gym and they make you feel like more than just a member. Its a community where you are part of a family and that family cares deeply for your health. No matter your fitness level they can get you to where you want to be. My wife and I have been going for almost 2 years now and they have completely changed our health for the better. We have both lost weigh and are now working on building muscle. They have a plan/program for everyone. If you are looking for a gym, give AFS a try. You wont be disappointed.
Ive tried a lot of gyms before and never found one I felt truly comfortable with - until I joined AFS. Its more than just a gym; AFS makes a commitment to making sure you recognize your own inherent worth, and doing whatever they can to help you set and reach your goals. Ive found more fitness success and self-worth at AFS than anywhere else. Highly, highly recommended!!
Applied Fitness Solutions is unlike any gym Ive ever worked out at. Ive been a member for 2 1/2 years, and love it as much as when I first walked in. Friendly and personalized trainers work with the individual to meet fitness needs, while giving attention to any injuries that need special care. AFS staff know every member by name and make you feel welcome, not to mention, if you miss class, theyll give you a shout out to make sure all is well.AFS is a custom gym that cares about its members. I couldnt say enough great things about AFS and every single staff member. Try it today!
It is hard to find a gym where the people inside truly care about your well-being and personal journey towards better health. This gym does. Genuinely. They not only offer outstanding fitness classes (and will modify for ALL fitness levels) and coaches/trainers to work one-on-one with (not just fitness but the food stuff too), but they offer you HEART. I couldn’t be happier with my experience at AFS and the people who feel like family.
If you are looking forward a fitness facility that cares about your success as an individual. This is the place! They don’t just care about your fitness, weight loss or nutritional goals. They care about you as a person. They are a community and family. Check them out you won’t be disappointed.
Every person here knows you by name. They customize your workouts based on what you want to work on. They show you how to do things properly then leave you to it.The workouts are well planned and difficult. Highly recommended. These people know what they are doing.
I have tried a lot of gyms around Michigan and this is one of the best! I love the personal aspect to this gym which I need for helping me achieve my health and fitness goals. I love the family community where I receive the guidance I need. Great place for working out
Best gym in town! Always clean, good instructor and great follow up with your goal! I am so determinate that this year will be my year of transformation and Trent, the practitioner, is helping me a lot to push to the edge and Im very glad for it! Ive seen results in only 6 weeks of training, I could not be more than happy with this new place. All the money invested here worth it! The atmosphere here is another thumbs up!
If you are looking for a quality fitness experience - you have come to the right place. This is not the country club where you sit around in a whirlpool and think you are getting fit. This is not the ten dollar a month, bargain basement experience, where you get exactly what you pay for (ugh). AFS of Rochester is a family of trained, certified, educated, vetted professionals that take an interest in each and every client that walks through their doors. My life has been dramatically changed since I joined last August. I am not only more fit, (friends cant believe how great I look) but the AFS community has kept me coming back. Example: When is the last time your fitness facility gave you a birthday card with personal notes from the staff? At AFS - every staff member knows your name and they connect with you on a human level. They make time to help you set fitness goals and then patiently help you achieve them. If you want permanent change then AFS is the only reasonable option for you. Life is shorter than we think. You are worth it! Jeff Jones
This place is just absolutely fantastic ! Everyone is so friendly and excited to help you reach your fitness goals. The gym is super clean and the atmosphere/vibe is just so positive. The instructors have you fill out your goals as if theyre already achieved, take your measurements to track you progress and provide you with all the information you need to workout on your own. I think the most important thing you develop is a sense of confidence that you definitely can achieve your fitness goals ! Id highly highly recommend this place to anyone.
Applied Fitness Solutions is not a gym... it is so much more than that.From the leadership, to the employees, to the fitness practitioners, to the clients, AFS is the definition of an incredible community.Every aspect of this community is about so much more than fitness.This is a community of people that care for one another, challenge one another, and truly want the best for one another.AFS supports ALL aspects of wellness - mental, emotional, and physical.I am moved with the level of respect and admiration I have for the AFS leadership and the entire AFS community.If you are looking for a place to bring you movement, positivity, and wellbeing, please please please stop by one of the 3 AFS locations and experience what a true place of wellness looks like.
This place is amazing and full of awesome people! Best staff you can ask for.
If youre thinking about working out or just trying to get healthy this is a good place to check out. Knowledgeable and generally friendly staff. No pressure here but a lot of assistance to reach your goals. Costs arent bad either.
My husband and I relocated to MI from CT in late 2018 and needed to find a new place to work out. I spent a lot of time looking at many different types of fitness centers, and nothing felt right to me. The big centers were too large and impersonal for me, and I knew I would not get what I needed there. I went to some smaller studios, but while smaller, I still felt like I would be lost, and on my own, in trying to get back in shape. When I took a tour of AFS, I knew instantly that this was the fitness center I had been searching for and immediately went to work!I had expected that I would exercise there and I would lose weight. That was my goal. What I didnt realize was that AFS is not just a place to exercise. It is a unique community of caring people who come together with their individual goals and objectives, but are incredibly supportive of each other and there is absolutely NO JUDGEMENT of anybody, due to fitness level, size, age, etc... It is just warm and friendly, and one of the many reasons I love coming to AFS, and Im here 4-5 times/week!!The trainers at AFS are AMAZING! Not just because they are skilled and knowledgeable, but because the really care about you and your progress. Technique matters here, and thats very important, because that is how you improve. My husband teases me, because he is the athletic type, always has been, and I have always been uncoordinated and anything but an athlete. After coming to AFS for many months now, he has seen changes in my athletic ability that have really impressed him. So much so, that he has also started coming to AFS for their strength training classes (I do the fitness solution classes). He is totally on board with how unique and talented the AFS program is, and is working on his own goals (speed/endurance for sports).There is another very important piece, that maybe I should have mentioned earlier. I LOVE the classes because they are always different, every day. Im never bored and Im always challenged. The trainers are great at encouraging you, even when you feel like your enduring death by stability ball exercises! In the background of your groaning, you will here we dont quit, your stronger than you think, and you know what, you are! Ive amazed myself in doing things like lunges and planks, that I never thought I could do.I started at AFS thinking I wanted to lose weight, and I am (slowly), but more important than that, I am truly healthier for having found AFS. I am much more agile, I have more endurance, more muscle mass and strength, my joint aches/pains are greatly diminished, my flexibility is improved, overall, I feel much younger and energetic. I dont want to ever stop and I encourage you to try AFS out for yourself. It is truly a special place filled with wonderful people who only want you to be the best you can be. They are even so kind as to have a little bowl of chocolates (dark) and fresh fruit for you to grab on the way out. Such a nice way to end your workout! You will not be disappointed in AFS, go check it out for yourself!.
Applied Fitness Solutions is not only a fitness center, but also an extremely tightknit, friendly community! Ive been thrilled to be part of this TEAM for just over a year now! Growing up with an athletic background I have tried many gyms/fitness centers. In the competitive industry of fitness, there are several good ones out there... AFS is phenomenal! It is a great balance of both physical and mental fitness. They build programs around individual needs and encourage healthy lifestyles, while still understanding the importance of the occasional treat in your diet! One of my personal favorite activities they offer is their pop-up workout (outdoor workouts at local locations). I truly believe in the philosophy at AFS, and would highly recommend giving this community a shot!
Great people, clean facility,, fun/challenging workouts! Highly recommend!
The best of the BEST is found at AFS! Coming from someone who has spent thousands on gym memberships and personal trainers, look no further than AFS. They truly offer a TEAM approach and comprehensive workouts tailored to your needs, without the cost of the big box gyms.The team at AFS is not only invested in their members health & well-being, but they often give their time to many local charities and events in the community.
Amazing positive motivating workout and transformation support!!thanks for helping me be my best self!!!
Over the years I have had several fitness goals and used various gyms. AFS- she is a different beast. Every instructor knows who you are! I love how the instructors tailor the workout to meet you where you are. They push you when you need it and they tweak it when (not if) youre nursing a sore area. AFS has been worth the drive and the dollars. Go Fit Fam, Go!
Fantastic humans. I would recommend AFS to EVERYONE. Here is why: from the moment you come in the door, people are welcoming, non-threatening and genuine. Initially, they meet with you to discuss personal goals, whether it be weight loss, injury prevention, surgery recovery or overall health.They then design a program to help you meet your specific goals/objectives.THEY ARENT DONE YET....They do a great job of holding you accountable by weekly check-ins, ie: how are you feeling, do we need to cut back, is there anything we need to do different, your schedule is crazy with work/life-what can we do to make it easier for you to meet your goals... they even are so genuine that they take the time to know your name and remember TINY details of your life (kids/family/health).TOP NOTCH/ CARING/GENUINE/REALThank you AFSTiffany DeeringOwner Premier SoftballFormer UofM Softball National Champion 2005
AFS is more than just a gym. Its truly a family atmosphere. As soon as you step through the door they greet you by name with huge smiles. They care about your success and well being. They coach you, encourage you and support you every step of the way. No matter at which level you are training the instruction is professional and on target!! Your goals become theirs. Im extremely HAPPY with the program and my progress. Cant wait to my next workout!! Thanks AFS Family 😊
It is not an exaggeration to state that AFS has been the crucial key to my improved physical health. The programs offered and staff have been there to help me from day one; and most importantly, they continue to be there. AFS helps me keep my commitment to achieving my goals. They guide and push me- what I need. I recommend them to all my co-workers and friends.Thank you AFS!
I found AFS after someone I worked out with at Lifetime recommended it. While I miss some of the equipment at Lifetime, the people and coaching and approach at AFS are unreal. I cannot believe the difference in my stability and strength, as well as just overall happiness with my fitness level. I love that they are always pushing me just a little outside my comfort zone, viewed me as an athlete before I saw myself that way and truly treat each person with respect. After my awful experience at Lifetime, and feeling like just another number in their massive system, I feel like Ive found a health-family that really cares about me. All the hearts and I would recommend them 1-million times over!
First, this is the first review I have written......ever........in my life. Im a former college athlete with demanding work schedule and active busy family. Have worked out on average 3-4 times per week for the past 15+ years.Following health issues I found myself somewhat unmotivated and bored with my regular routine which made getting my fitness back to where I wanted challenging. I checked AFS out to see what it was about -- with the hope that they could maybe help me get back on track.Even though I was a bit standoffish before my initial meeting, Andrew won me over. Next challenge was to see what kind of trainer they gave me and if they could deliver the type of product he spoke about. I was matched up with Trent who was charged with dealing with me.Trent listened very closely to my goals, my story and my expectations. He basically said, dude, if you promise to work hard and commit to this, I will get you where you want to go, Deal? Deal.Long story short, I have been going once per week for 8 months. Trent writes all of my workouts. They are a bi#$h, but I made a deal to commit to the program, and I have done pretty much every rep prescribed. If something aggrevates and old injury, they modify. I head to AFS once per week and supplement with 2 - 3 additional workouts per week at my other gym that are also wrtten by Trent and support my AFS program. He has held up his end of the bargain 100% and I have too -- amazing how that still works these days.In-house sessions are carried out by one of their trainers, it doesnt matter who is working with you that day, they are all good. Trent, Eileen, Zach, Jared, Sarah.....they are all good. Note: these are strength workouts, they have other fitness type classes as well, but all of the aforementioned trainers destroy me in the weight room -- and smile doing it. They want to make you better, they want to see you hit your goals. Choose a goal, if it is not out of left field, they will get you there and even beyond what you think.So here is the best part, after they listen to your story and figure out what they are going to help you with, they are 100% invested in getting you there. They want you to get there. None of this yelling and screaming madness you see other places, they are smart, scientific, strategic and practical as they build your body and mind up to meet your potential. Then when you hit your goals, they are legit as happy for you as you are about your accomplishment.There is no magic wand here, its a bunch of cool people who care about you and your health. If you give them a shot and commit to listening to them and their program from workouts to nutrition, you will get to where you want to go and have alot of fun doing it.
This place is amazing and full of awesome people! Best staff you can ask for.
AFS Rochester is the best! The facility is great and everyone on the staff is committed to making sure each member gets the most out of their fitness program. I truly look forward to the time I spend working out at AFS Rochester.
I am on year two at AFS, and LOVE IT. Very friendly staff, everyone knows your name and treats you like a friend. The classes and programs are setup for individuals goals and needs, and I have a great coach to guide me through my fitness plans. I have tried multiple fitness plans and gyms over the years, and AFS is by far the best. I have had the pleasure of getting some of my friends and co-workers to join me at AFS, and they all love it as well.
This place is amazing! Staff is extremely supportive in your endeavors when you start. It can seem insurmountable when you initially start, but the staff is welcoming and makes sure you are actually progressing with whatever your goals are via periodic 6 week evaluations.Wounldt consider going anywhere else at all.Pricing is good and fair as well looking to all the benefits they offer!Shamik Dwivedi.
Friendly staff, excellent facility, great introduction. A bit expensive although they do offer reduced pricing for couples.
AFS has exceeded all of my expectations when it comes to a gym. Their comprehensive approach to overall health and fitness is top notch. Im not one for a gym environment, but AFS is the place to go. The staff is very knowledgeable and genuinely cares about each members success. The support and encouragement from all the staff is incredible. They understand that there is not one program or class that fits all--everything is customized to each individual client. The classes are challenging and fun and the facility is clean and very well managed. If you are looking to reach your health and fitness goals, visit AFS for a free class.
Went for the first time tonight and the class was awesome and so was the Trainer!
I love working with AFS personally and professionally. As a clinician treating muscles and skeletal problems all day long, people hurt themselves in the gym, often times not knowing why nor how to correct the problem. Their coaches are wonderful with communication, modifying any exercise(s) or program based upon what I find is best for the client/patient, so their not dealing with revolving door issues. I appreciate their scientific, evidence-based approach to their programs and coaching methods. Personally, I workout at AFS and love the individualized coaching and community feel you get from a small cross training gym, blended with the look, amenities, and cleanliness you get from a well-operated franchise gym. Not to mention, the very reasonable pricing structure. You cannot beat the value AFS offers!
I had to wait 60-90 days to give a fair gym review and here it is. Well, its day 64 and I have reached my body fat percentage goal of 12% just like I had told Nate Langley I wanted to do when I came in to get involved. Lost 10.5 lbs and 5.1% Body Fat in 64 days (9 weeks). Good for me, but what about you?No matter what your shape going in I assure you the rectangle doors in the entryway are large enough to accommodate. There are two of them so you get a rep of low rows on each arm before to even get checked in for a killer workout. There are at least four different workout options when you get in: Weight Loss Solutions (WLS), Strength Solutions (SS), Fitness Solutions (FS), DIY (Full Access Room). For the purpose of the review Ill only talk about WLS and the coaching part which is the basis of the AFS concept.The coaching like I said is the base and what makes AFS different. What is it and what do you get? A road map and a backseat driver. Jk. You get a personal trainer at you disposal for less than half the cost of what I would say is average cost, which doesnt include trainers at the purple and yellow gym because, well, their not as qualified.The road map - You meet with the trainer (My Trainer is Jared Freedman) initially for a consultation and then regularly at intervals as needed. For me personally I took the upgrade option initially and did something where I was recorded on the iPad instead of the included initial screening. The point is you get evaluated to find your starting point. Are you starting in Rochester Hills or Houston, TX? Once your done with that it took maybe a couple days and I got my physical training plan for 16 weeks. Everyone is different so thats what happens in general. Your training plan may be of a different duration.The Backseat Driver - So your off and running or jogging or walking or crawling, whatever you fitness level is and the first day your phone pops a notification reminding you you have got a passenger. There is an app for this. Its a very basic app with a message feature to reach out to your coach (trainer) but the one feature I want to highlight is the tattletale function. Everyday you get asked if you acheived your daily goal. Ie, did you drink enough water or did you get moving for 30 mins, etc. And on Sundays once you hopefully answered yes to reaching your goal it asks a few more questions about your week. Its simple yes or no answers but novels like this writing work too.WLS: Its a High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) class. Best 45 (Really 60) mins of the day! Thats why I go early in the morning before work like its my job. I would do a full write up of the system but they offer a free class. Its like a picture speaking 1,000 words but instead of words its drips of sweat.Time to finish this pep rally with some shout outs. Nate was my second impression of AFS after seeing the pickup truck in the neighborhood for like a year and telling myself about how I need to go check it out. Im not sure who was more pumped that I was getting involved with AFS. Haha. Can tell why he is the welcoming team manager because he is definitely a motivational speaker. Everytime I see him its positive affirmations. Jared is my coach and the video model youll probably see at some point doing high knees in WLS like an Olympic athlete. Always get a message back quick when I message him and the responses are always knowledgeable. Youd think we go way back with the welcoming reception he gives when I see him at AFS. I love Eileen and her WLS class in the mornings. I have never met anyone with such positive vibes at 5:55 am. She has pushed me waaay harder then I would ever push myself at any time of day to a HIIT class. She has an awesome mobility class too that would be awesomer if it was offered at different times of the day.
Adam and the team really know their stuff when it comes to fitness!
Been going over a year now. Exercises still are always changing you never get bored with the same routine. They can and do tweak each station for you if you have an injury youre working around. So sorry, there is no excuse to not go!
Great atmosphere, great motivation from friendly staff, all around great gym!!!
Best Gym Ever!
Great place, great people.
Excellent
