For those who opt to use the suburban fitness facilities instead of beautiful Belle Isle or Kronk Gym, which would you say is best?Is there a particular instructor who's the bomb and only at one location? |

Try the original and newly refurbished Powerhouse in Highland Park on Woodward. Has plenty of new cardio machines. Always negotiable on prices. Very friendly crowd for men and women. |

I use Madison Athletic Club on John R in Madison Heights, prices are very good, the trainers are awesome. I recommend John Schuster
I can't comment about Lifetime Fitness, I have not been there in years, but I felt like a number, John, knows and works with me. |

I use the Y currently, which I like, buy I just discovered that there's a city-run rec center on Bagley near me that's free except for the weight room, which is $100 per year. Anybody have experiences with city-run rec centers? What's a membership at Powerhouse in Highland Park cost? |

I use the Y as well. I have the membership that allows me to go to any one in the metro Detroit area. I attempted to use the local Rec-center(Heilmann), but it didnt offer enough variety. |
