I have been a Fit2Live (formerly known as Joust) member since 2008 and cannot speak highly enough of this fitness community. I began at Fit2Live as an 8th grader with the intention of becoming a college athlete and was looking for training that could elevate my game. Through versatile and functional programming, the coaches at Joust/Fit2Live helped me improve my athleticism and attain my goal of playing Division I softball. Since hanging up my cleats, Joust/Fit2Live has provided me with a space to create new goals dedicated to my fitness amid a supportive community that celebrates all members health journeys. I am beyond grateful to be a part of this fitness family and encourage you to join in the fun, camaraderie, and dedication to overall healthy living! 5/5 stars always!

Great gym to drop in at or join. I was passing through on a road trip and reached out to see about dropping in on a class one morning. They responded to my email very quickly and then the reservation process for my drop-in was extremely easy. At the class the coach was very knowledgeable about the movements we did and the other members were incredibly friendly and made me feel very welcome.

Fit2Live is fantastic! All the coaches are great and really knowledgable. The gym culture is positive and supportive and makes you want to go to the gym!

Coming out of the pandemic I was out of shape physically and mentally. Im also hard of hearing and noisy environments with masks? I was not excited, but knew I needed to get back and take care of myself. Started out with PT with Ryan who was AMAZING, flexible with programming, knowledgable and responsive. The real magic was moving into class and having every single trainer also help me adjust with the hearing, and patience and encouragement finding my way back to regular workouts. Ive been places where I loved one, maybe two trainers, but Ive never experienced a place where every single person is on point. The trainers and regulars have all been there some number of years, which speaks to the great, consistent environment. And all that caring does not mean they wont totally kick your butt. The programming is awesome. Already hit a PR. High recommend!

This gym has been an incredible support to me as I navigated fitness during and post cancer treatment. The instructors are knowledgeable and friendly and the community is just amazing. Highly recommend for literally any fitness level.

I have been working out at Joust for 4 years. It truly has been the best 4 years of fitness and community I’ve ever experienced. The coaches and fellow Jousters are like my extended family. It truly is a community of excellent people who work hard and have fun! I can’t say enough about how professional, instructional and life changing Joust is. Thank you Ryan, the coaches and my fellow Jousters for creating one of my favorite happy places!!!

I have been a member of joust for a couple of years. Previous to Joust I attended a big box gym and after a few months there I lost motivation to keep working out as it was monotonous....I felt that I needed something more engaging. Enter Joust and I was hooked from the very first workout. Joust offers everything I need....amazing workouts, great atmosphere, excellent coaches, and an extraordinary community that I can call family. I can confidently say that without Joust my life would not be as good and enjoyable as it is now. The conditioning Ive received through Joust paved the way for me to enjoy other activities such as backpacking and biking, and hopefully more! Whenever I have a bad day at work, or in general, I know that going to Joust at the end of the day will make me feel better. I am in the best shape of my life not only physically, but mentally as well. Thank you Joust!

Joust is awesome! I started attending in Fall 2020. This is my first experience with Crossfit, so I had a lot to learn. The coaches and community are all so welcoming and supportive! I was pretty active before joining Joust, but I have gotten much stronger and increased my endurance. I feel safe coming to Joust indoors because the health & cleaning protocols are practiced consistently and communicated clearly.

Great instructors. Helped me get back into working out with getting injured.

As someone who has been to many different gyms in the state, the country, and outside of the country, theres no place like Joust! The coaches are professional, have an excellent eye for good form (which is important in the sport of Crossfit), and personable. They really make you feel like youre at home! No matter where I go, the workouts arent the same as Joust and they program them with goals in place to prevent you from getting hurt and to help you become the best version of yourself! If youre going to invest your time and money into yourself, this is the place to go! Whether youre a beginner or a seasoned athlete, they will help you get to your goals and youll even find random goals for yourself you didnt think you needed to develop.

Been a member of the Joust family for almost 2 years. Felt welcome since day 1. Great staff, the best equipment, awesome facilities. The coaches always make sure youre challenging yourself while maintaining good form/technique. LEAVE YOUR EGO AT THE DOOR and come join the Joust family!

Best Cross Fit gym for ALL fitness levels. Ive been obese all of my life and I really enjoy the programming and coaching at Joust. The programming is effective. It not only helps building muscles (hence improve body shapes) but also improves immune systems and cognitive ability. I really do feel the drop in my daily energy level after I stopped consistent working-out at Joust due to the pandemic (another piece of evidence for causal relationship). I hope I can get back to the gym soon.

I love Joust! I moved from out of state and finally found a gym I liked that has a great price and great coaches. Worth every penny and then some. They have worked really hard to make sure covid precautions have been followed for the community, and we still manage to have a lot of laughs. The coaches are excellent at helping all kinds of skill sets and abilities. This gym has helped me keep my head on straight these last few crazy months! Highly recommend

My partner and I dropped in while visiting Ann Arbor. The coaching staff is knowledgeable and professional, the community extremely welcoming, and we were very impressed with the attention and energy being given to safety regarding COVID protocols. We will be planning on dropping in here whenever we’re in town.

By far and away the best fitness experience you can find!! Joust breaks the mold and some of the stigmas out there regarding CrossFit. Anyone, any age, any ability level can come to Joust and feel welcome in their efforts to achieve their fitness goals. The coaches challenge you but also give options for modifications to each workout and specific exercise if necessary. This allows everyone to experience their own level of success and gives you the confidence that you can indeed do it. Give the Joust team a try if you have a chance, you wont regret your decision!!

Joust is more than a gym. Its an amazing supportive community. After 2 years at joust (more than Ive ever lasted in any other gym), Im in the best shape of my life. We love the coaches and all the members who make you come back day after day. We have also visited other crossfit boxes and none have been as welcoming as Joust. Best gym ever!

There are community gyms but this gym is a community.I joined Joust in 2009 and its been a staple in my life and my families life ever since. The coaching team wants a great experience for you in every class and will help you reach your goals. The gym gives you opportunities to improve in any fitness domain (strength, power, stamina, flexibility/mobility, you name it!) And whatever your goals are, youre sure to find a friend at Joust.

I’ve been a member for a little more than a year and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. It’s amazing going in and seeing people in all different levels of fitness challenging themselves. The staff is excellent. They are extremely helpful and kind. They know a ton about CrossFit, general fitness, healthy living, injury prevention, sports injury treatment, and much more.My shoulder (previously injured) has never felt stronger thanks to Ryan and his team assisting with strength and mobility work. I overall feel much more agile, strong and fit. Go in and you won’t be let down, just a little sore!

Awesome experience, everyone is very supportive and a fun way to get in shape!

Joust is a great gym with coaches who want you to succeed. Ryan, Rob, EJ, and the rest of the coaches are all great at breaking apart technical movements in a way that is easy to understand. I would recommend Joust if you are looking for a gym to increase your fitness and have fun while doing so.

Excellent coaches, perfectly balanced workouts and helpful nutrition guidance to bring it all together.

Joust is by far the best gym experience that I have ever had! Nothing but excellence all around. The coaching and community are phenomenal and always helping me be the best version of myself!

Came in from out of town and just popped in. Ryan was Awesome! He greeted me promptly let me know the lay of the land was very instrumental to make sure I went Along with the class (Since I had never been there before) When I come back to Ann Arbor Joust will definitely be on the list of stops!

Joust is like a home away from home for me. I feel so fortunate to have found a place that makes me look forward to going to workout. The community, the coaches, the workouts and the facility are all top notch. #bestgymina2 :)

I found 3 great things here,Great communityGreat commitmentGreat coaches.Jousters are by definition head on about getting better and stronger and joust fitness makes sure that It happens in the safest and most scientific way.Changed my view of exercising,Now its more about being functionally efficient and strong, and not just lifting and torturing myself.I feel part of a community that is very compassionate, competitive, enduring and positive.Cheers to the coaches for making the workouts safely available in the pandemic.

Expert trainers. Great facility. Professional. Willing to accommodate individual needs. Highly recommended.

Joust is an amazing gym and an excellent community. Participants have diverse ages, backgrounds, and ability levels. The Joust staff is committed to making sure every participant gets something out of the workout, and tailors the workouts to each persons individual needs. Their dedication to good technique is amazing. Highly recommend!

Great box! I recently attended a couple of the morning classes while dropping in from out of town. The coaching was excellent and the gym did a great job of being COVID-19 friendly. I particularly enjoyed the barbell focused class - as someone who has been Olympic Weightlifting for quite a while, its rare to hear a coach give a new, and useful, cue. Rob was very knowledgeable and able to pick out small tweaks to help me.

A fun, welcoming environment! Helped me keep my sanity during a crazy time in the world- so grateful for Joust!

I have been going to this gym for 8 years, and have loved every minute of it. From the coaches to the community, I could not have asked for more from a daily stress release.

Excellent place for all skill levels, very relaxed fun environment where fitness is the goal but fun is had along the way. Been going here for 4 years now and have had nothing but an excellent experience!

Awesome facilities and great coaching staff. Clean, healthy, and supportive environment.

This gym has been the best part of my day for this last hectic year

This place is legit. Physical and mental fitness in a judgement free environment.

Fit2Live is the bright spot of my day that gives me an afterglow, which lasts just long enough to make me crave the next workout. :)I feel as though I can push myself in a safe and structurally sound way here. I’m new here, but ever since joining I’ve felt happier, stronger, and more mobile.The coaches are high-caliber people who empower and foster an incredible community. The atmosphere is fun, friendly, and welcoming. There’s a wealth of knowledge that feeds into the programming, which is thoughtfully designed. This is more than an exceptional gym with clean, modern facilities; it’s a safe place for people to test their limits, meet incredible people, and have a blast!

I started at Joust at a time in my life where I felt really unhappy, unfit and was really nervous about going to any kind of gym. Immediately the coaches made me feel really comfortable and I learned so much and never felt more motivated! Along with great coaches the members of Joust are so welcoming, supportive and fun to be around! Working out use to feel like a chore but with Joust I always looked forward to going and once there you’re surrounded by people who motivate you and push you to do you best.

I started Crossfit at Joust about a year ago after hearing glowing recommendations from a couple of other members of the gym. I was looking for challenging programming, fun new athletic challenges and a community of dedicated but goofy folks to work out with. Joust has all of the above in spades. I cant imagine finding another gym quite like it. The staff and member community has somehow perfectly struck the balance between intentionally pushing each other to improve every workout, while also keeping a down to earth integrity. Im sad to be moving out of Ann Arbor, thus leaving the gym and if I come back to visit, I will certainly stop by to say hello to this wonderful group of people.

Exceptional. This is literally the first review I have ever written, but feel obliged since it is such a great place. The instructors are great, very nice , and super knowledgeable. Best gym I have been too.

I originally joined the Joust community while in Graduate school from 2014-2015. I was the healthiest, fittest, strongest, and happiest I’d ever been. Life happened after I graduated and I stepped away from Joust. Since then I became the most unhealthy, heaviest, and unhappiest I’d ever been. I tried multiple fitness activities and gyms but nothing ever compared to Joust. I knew what I needed to do but had a tough time finding the motivation and courage to make the lifestyle change until one day I said “enough talking, I’m ready for change”. Joust provides me with the motivation, accountability, knowledge, and community to live a healthier life. Since rejoining Joust 5 months ago I’ve seen/felt tremendous results. I’ve lost 30 pounds, 5 inches in my waistline, and watched my strength increase in multiple areas of fitness (most proud: I went from being able to do 0 to 10 push-ups). I couldn’t have reached this success without the Joust community.

Great coaches, fun programming, and a clean facility.

Ive never enjoyed a gym or a community more than I enjoyed Joust. The owner, Ryan, is one of the most genuinely friendly people Ive ever met with a knack for building a great culture.The coaches do an incredible job making sure every workout is both appropriate and challenging for you. Their goal is to make Joust the best hour of your day. Unless you go 2 or more times in a day, like me.

I decided to drop-in to a free class at Joust and instantly loved this place. The trainers are kind, friendly, and know their stuff. They look at each person in a group workout individually - scaling the workout if necessary and pushing you so that you are almost always sore but never done so at the expense of form. Further, the fellow gym members at Joust are phenomenal, smart, people at all different fitness levels who are beyond supportive.As a woman who is almost always trying to lose just more 5 lbs, it was so nice joining a place where my focus was completely redirected to learning new skills and getting stronger. I have only been a member for 6 months and am bummed that I am moving states (i.e., leaving Joust), but if you are thinking about joining, I cant recommend this place enough!

I dropped in for a workout during a business trip in Ann Arbor. Rob was my coach and gave me some great cues for my cleans. He also showed me how to stabilize my left shoulder to help with my dumbbell thrusters. It’s rare to get that type of coaching during a drop in.

I travel a lot for work so I drop into a LOT of gyms. This gym has one of the most engaged coaches Ive come across in a long time. great experience.

I started out at Joust in September 2015 after 4 years of mostly dormant lifestyle looking to get fitter. In this time, I have gotten into the best shape and fitness of my life. Joust has great coaches with well rounded background in Crossfit (duh!), Gymnastics, Olympic Weightlifting and general nutrition.The best part of this gym is the community. Collectively known as the Jousters, they come from all kinds of diverse backgrounds, bring great vibes and support each other regardless of where they are in their fitness journey.I highly recommend it!

Dropped in while in town for a college graduation. Coach Ryan was friendly, thorough in explaining the workout movements and attentive to all of the athletes working out. He made sure everybody modified the workout to their needs and abilities and truly was a caring & engaged coach! The other athletes were so friendly & welcoming too. I would highly recommend joining this great community no matter your level of fitness!

The best coaching and training Ive received in my life. Now that Im away from Ann Arbor for a year, I miss this place so much it hurts. The community is wonderful, the workouts are wonderfully designed, the training precise and scaleable. Joust is just such a special and wonderful place.

Joust Strength + Fitness Ann Arbor undoubtedly the best CrosstFit place in town. I have been with Joust for nearly 5 years now. In these years, Joust has helped me maintain a healthy life style making me stronger mentally and physically. A special shout out to the coaches who contribute to a strong community along with providing exceptionally good personal care by catering to every physicality. Its a great place to begin the cross fit training and continue the journey towards a fit lifestyle!

F-U-N! Best word to describe this amazing gym.I have been a member here for a year. The coaches are smart, educated, and kind people - patient as well, which is key. They will take the time to work with you and provide you with the best routine that works for you.Then there are the fellow Joust members - let me tell you, never a dull moment. Easy-going, lovable bunch that likes to work hard but make the time in the gym just fly by. Always a good laugh and stress reliever when I hang with this crowd. Good people.

If you had told me I was going to join a gym and make it a daily part of my routine for the last five years, I would have thought you were nuts. But thats the place I am at. I have been in the best shape of my life consistently throughout that entire period thanks to Joust.Joust is a safe place; its a supportive community where we are all helping each other do better at fitness and health. The environment is not competitive. We, as a community, are focused on bettering ourselves instead of beating everyone else. Its that community and sense of belonging that keeps me attending every day.I doubt you will find a more experienced coaching staff around town. Many of the coaching staff at Joust have 5 to 10 years of experience coaching or more, without moving around from gym to gym. The longevity of the coaching staff speaks volumes to the sense of community and belonging that Joust provides.I cannot recommend the place strongly enough. It has become a core of my sense of belonging and happiness.

Dropped in today during Open GymCoaches very friendly, gave a tour, offered any input if wanted and otherwise cut me loose to go. Members were also very friendly and asked if I wanted to jump in on their WOD. Overall exactly the type of place you want to drop in - inviting, friendly, well-equipped etc. Definitely recommend!

The coaches at Joust are amazing and accommodating for every level of fitness when you start out. They kick your butt, but make sure you stay safe doing it. Joining Joust was easily the best decision Ive made compared to various gyms Ive been a part of. It is a really great community, and everyone is so supportive and happy to be there. There are so many times for classes available and with the people you get to work with it is well worth the membership.

Great gym to drop into. My sister in law goes to this gym so I decided to check it out on my most recent trip to town. The coaching staff does a great job of helping individuals focus on good form, even though I’d just dropped in. They regularly checked in with folks to make sure they were okay during the class.

I joined the Joust family because I was looking for an activity that allow me to release my stress and workload in a time-efficient and effective way. I achieved that while looking good “unwrapped“ as a byproduct. No complaints. Excelente Servicio ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Being new to the area, we were in search for a box that was both friendly and community oriented, with the right amount of rigor in the programming. We were happy to find all of that at Joust! Ryan, has been so great in letting us drop in a few times to make sure the fit was right for us, appreciating that finding the right box is like establishing a relationship. The programming is straightforward and challenging but, even better is the community; everyone has been so friendly and welcoming which isnt always easy to find. Were grateful to have found this place!

Joust is an amazing Gym and a great value! Everyone who works out at Joust is supportive and fun to be around. As someone who has never been big into weight lifting, I enjoyed the mental challenge of learning the correct way to perform Olympic movements. The coaches are top tier and take the time to teach all levels of athletes from very beginner to elite. The workouts are well balanced and challenging ranging from strength training to aerobic fitness. I have never left Joust feeling that I did not get something out of the workout in terms of both personal coaching and increased fitness level. Thanks to Ryan and all the coaches at Joust!

I have been a member at Joust for the past two years while attending UM. The coaching staff and community are absolutely wonderful and welcoming. The gym is bright and clean and the effort they put into maintaining the excellent equipment they have is outstanding. The programming is very balanced- members focus on 6 week strength/skill goals and weeks are designed to encourage sustainable fitness. Thank you to everyone for helping me maintain my fitness while in school. Im going to miss everyone here tremendously.

Great gym. Very welcoming community. Instructor (Ryan) was great; gave really clear direction and broke down the complex movements in sequence for us. Really enjoyed it. Came back and took advantage of open gym hours as well and experienced the same welcoming atmosphere.

Fast moving, a different workout every day. They push you, but not too hard. A lot of individual coaching during the class. Good for a wide range of ages and fitness levels.

Best Gym I ever been too! Every coach is great, and the community is too.

From the moment I walked in the door, Joust has been an amazing place to workout. Ill admit, I was a bit nervous at first, but the trainers and community there helped me ease into and feel comfortable with the tough workouts. Everyone is very encouraging and pushes each other to be the best athletes. The trainers do an amazing job aiding in the process, focusing on areas to improve, and overall are a great staff to work with. Three years later, 40 pounds less, and amazing friends gained, I couldnt ask for a better place for fitness in Ann Arbor.

Great gym no matter your fitness level. I had been a member of a crossfit gym before but I found that Jousts relatively small class sizes, different class options, and personal attention were great. Also the programming is intelligently focused in 6 week cycles, which strikes the right balance between variation and progression. I would recommend to anyone in Ann Arbor.

Recently completed Jousts New You 6 week Challenge. It was excellent! Coaching was spectacular, facility created a great fitness environment, and the people give Joust an encouraging atmosphere. I will definitely be continuing with a membership here. - Highly recommended.

I started with joust in March 2018 and continued for more than an year before we had to move to a different location. Initially I was very shy and calm , hesitant to ask questions as always thought I was under performing compared to other jousters.But that was just for couple of weeks before I started challenging myself to become stronger day-day and not to compare with anyone but myself.My fellow jousters are very friendly like family and I used to get inspired by almost everyone over there.I love all my couches but my favorites are Ryan and Sharon as they always knew what works best for me and the way they trained was unbelievable.I started getting stronger everyday and build confidence that I could do more.Had a laparoscopic surgery couple of days back and believe or not , I am not needing any pain killers since when I got discharged.Thanks to the core strength I have developed at joust.When doctors compliment my pain tolerance, I had a big smile on my face and wanted to convey its all about the great workout I did at joust.I could lift myself up with arms and using body strength to move myself so that my abdominal incisions are stress free.Ryan , cant thank you guys enough.My word : Nothing is more important than keeping ourselves fit and healthy

I really dont have enough good things to say about Joust. If you are looking for a supportive environment in which to improve your fitness, look no further than Joust. Ryan and the rest of the coaching staff truly care about each person who walks in the door of their facility. I was continually impressed by how they would go out of their way to ensure that I was progressing toward my fitness goals in a safe and fun environment. I have become a more fit and confident person as a result of my time there. As I move to a new state, I can truly say that one of the things I will miss most about Ann Arbor is the Joust community.

In Michigan for business and dropped in at Joust for early crossfit class/ training and it was awesome!! Coach Sharon was awesome, even as a drop in she provided great tips in helping to improve and tweak my moves for maximum performance. The sign up process was easy and the owner Ryan was very responsive to email communication. I will mos definitely be back.

I started at Joust after doing P90x and was looking for the next step. It certainly takes things to the next level.Joust is an incredible place. It is encouraging, positive, and challenging. The coaches patiently help new members achieve fitness goals and the community is great. They offer many class times so its always easy to find a time to go to the gym. (Its nice to be able to get a workout in during my lunch break.)

Very attentive coaching team that gives strong foundational skills for any CrossFit movements.I love that they keep encouraging everyone to grow and be better than before.Joust is a great place to work out and network with friends.

Great coaching, supportive atmosphere, challenging workouts, ample opportunities for personal growth. If youre looking to get fit and have fun, Joust is the place to be.

Awesome facility with fantastic coaches. Extremely friendly and encouraging community. I was really nervous to start CrossFit but look forward to every class!

The best gym ever. a place for everyone and everyone is welcome. long time member and thankful to have found it.

I have been at Joust Strength and Fitness since 2008 and can honestly say that is has always been made up of a diverse community that constantly challenges, supports, and motivates each other to reach new heights. The coaches are well versed and dedicated to helping all people, no matter the fitness/skill level, accomplish their goals in a way that maximizes their potential. This gym has exposed me to many wonderful people, and has pushed me to achieve a level of fitness I didnt know I could obtain beyond my previous experiences as an athlete- it has changed my life for the better!

Varied, challenging routines, supportive atmosphere, incredible expertise of coaches, great facility. Joust has it all for every age, every fitness level.

During my brief time in Ann Arbor over the past couple of months, I was working out with the folks at Joust and all I can say is: Awesome! The coaches, the clients, the workouts, all of it. I was super pleased. Ive been crossfiting for a long time and been a part of many boxes along the way- so I feel comfortable to critique what I experienced. If you are looking to find a great community, look no further than Joust.

Great Crossfit Affiliate! I often Visit Ann Arbor, and Joust has been my go-to drop in location for the past few years. Its great because the coaches are friendly and provide solid advice, the workouts are always challenging, and the members are welcoming. Additionally, there is a great deal of open gym time which is AWESOME. This has allowed me to keep consistent with my own gyms programming while Im in Ann Arbor for a day or two. Highly recommended!

Stopped in with my friend while in town from Florida . I have no previous crossfit experience, but coach Ryan was able to help me work my way through the filthy fifty. Coach Ryan was able to almost predict the exercise stations I would have trouble with and helped me with my technique. Great group of athletes were very supportive at the 9am Friday class! Would love to stop in again next time Im in town!

I am a long time member of the amazing Joust community and I love it. It is a great environment for all levels of CrossFitters, form beginner to well seasoned, I have been both!The coaches are knowledgeable and make sure movements are done properly and make an obvious effort to see that everyone is working to their skill level. The atmosphere is encouraging and everyone is super friendly, there is a great community feel.Joust is a very nice, well maintained facility, with ample equipment to support all classes. Bathrooms and showers (yes showers) are clean and well maintained.If you live in or ever visit Ann Arbor, you should definitely stop by Joust for a great workout.

Joust Fitness is my go-to place for getting a great workout with a bunch of knowledgeable and friendly people. Coaches Ryan, Sharon and Thomas provide a challenging but welcoming atmosphere. Cant wait to get back!

Joust has helped me maintain a healthy weight and lifestyle over the last 2 years. All of the coaches are STELLAR and help you to scale movements to your ability if needed. What I really like about Joust is that they always emphasize safety and performing the movements correctly to avoid injury. I’ve never had a class where they didn’t go through all the movements first before starting the WOD. They are always really accommodating for those with injuries and finding an alternative movement that won’t exacerbate said injury. The community at Joust has always been very warm, friendly, and encouraging. I also really love the 1 hour format of WODs, but they have other types of classes to choose from like gymnastics and Olympic weightlifting.

The trainers and community at Joust are top notch! When I was feeling stagnant with my workouts, Joust met me right where I was and took my fitness to the next level. Ryan and the other trainers are very good about encouraging to push yourself to meet your goals while being realistic and not overdoing it as I have heard can be the norm at other crossfit gyms. Form is demonstrated and emphasized every day. I saw major personal progress in a short time period and will definitely miss the Joust family now that I am no longer in Ann Arbor!

I was very skeptical about CrossFit but after trying it for a few days I loved it. The coaches are very good and they really care about your safety and fitness. I took my classes in the evenings with Ryan or Susy - they are great and I bet the other coaches are too! I made very good friends there and felt stronger than ever! Joust not only provides a space for exercising but its filled with great vibes and the opportunity to grow in many different ways. I absolutely recommend it!

Great gym, brilliant coaches and awesome people who cheers each other up

I recently dropped in while in town and got a great workout in! Great coaching, great atmosphere and community, and a nice space. Ive dropped in to all sorts of CrossFit gyms of the years and Joust is definitely a top-notch facility.

Dropped in from out of state and had a wonderful experience. The facility is great, the coaching was fantastic, and everyone I talked to was welcoming and friendly. Made me want to move back to Ann Arbor! Ill definitely be back, Joust. Thanks for a great WOD!

Great instruction! Family-like atmosphere!

I have been training at Joust Strength and Fitness for over a year and half, and since my first day, I have always been impressed with the quality of training and the apparent results. The coaches are friendly, outgoing, and knowledgeable and always put safety first. I would recommend Joust to anyone looking to not only build a better better version themselves, but also to immerse themselves within a community of like-minded, wonderful and supportive people. The Joust group is made up of incredible athletes of all skill levels working towards very similar fitness goals. The accomplishments you experience in Crossfit will give you confidence you need to excel out of the gym, and Joust is the perfect vehicle to help you accomplish (and CRUSH) your goals.

Incredible gym, been doing CrossFit for 6 years at 4 different gyms and this is by far the best one. Incredible coaching staff led by an absolute stud head coach Ryan McStockard! 10/10

The folks at Joust are super friendly! I needed a place to train while in Ann Arbor for the week, and Ryan was very welcoming. Joust is perfect for crossfit and weight training. Ill definitely be back next time Im in town!

What a warm, welcoming crew! Joust was my first step to a new, more athletic life. Despite not understanding virtually anything they were asking me to do at first, they patiently showed me the ropes. I always felt safe (theyre great with beginner modifications), I gained skills I never could never have imagined (me, doing Olympic style weight lifts?!) and in the process, I made some new friends. If youve been curious about CrossFit, and unsure how to get started, this is THE place to go!

Joust has a great community and a team of dedicated and knowledgeable coaches that are focused on your fitness goals. They do an amazing job working with both advanced and beginner athletes. I highly recommend the endurance and gymnastics classes as great add-ons for athletes looking for a challenge.

Excellent experience.

Had a chance to drop in while traveling through Ann Arbor, fantastic coaches and encouraging folks all around. Highly recommend!

How describe Joust? Simply AWESOME. I had the best month ever. If you want a crossfit place Joust is the one. Nice atmosphere, nice people and great trainings. The coaches are great, very professionals giving you the best training experience. I just have to say thank you for everyone and in special for Ryan. Besides being an excellent coach he is an excellent person. So, if someone is looking a crossfit, Joust is the one.

The first time I stepped into Joust Strength + Fitness I had never picked up a weight in my life and felt like I didnt need to. A friend had asked me to come try out a class and after a year of telling him that weights werent for me and I was a cardio girl, I finally agreed to go. The minute I walked through the door I was immediately greeted and sat down with Ryan, the head trainer, and asked to fill out a waiver. I was so nervous for class but the whole group helped me through the warm up and Ryan thoroughly explained the movements and how I could modify them if necessary. The next day I needed help putting on my sports bra but I came back and bought a punch card and as soon as that ran out I became a member.Joust has been one of the best decisions of my life. I have been there for a little over a year now and couldnt imagine working out at another gym. Ive done things that I used to think were impossible and Ive grown in so many ways as an athlete. The coaches and other athletes arent just people I work out with, theyre my friends. Im so proud and privileged to be a part the Joust community.

I dropped in at Joust on a whim one day. It was my first introduction to Crossfit and I was immediately hooked. The atmosphere is amazing. The coaches are top notch and awesome. The other athletes are welcoming and friendly. Its truly a place where you feel like youre part of a family.Sadly, I moved and had to quit. Ive tried a number of other Crossfit gyms and none even come close to what Joust offers. You will not be disappointed if you give Joust a shot. Its by far the best Ive found.

Joust is a fantastic fitness community. The classes are well designed to give you a different workout every day. There is a variety of classes (Crossfit, Endurance, Gymnastics, Olympic Lifting, Yoga) which all add to a stronger, healthier body. The coaches work with each person that comes in to cater the workout toward that individuals level of fitness and accommodate any injuries the person may have. It is a great place to workout.

Excellent gym. I was new to Crossfit when I joined and the coaches have patiently provided loads of direction. Friendly atmosphere too. Join!

Ive been doing CrossFit at Joust for 5 years. In those five years, I’ve never been bored with the workouts. The coaching staff makes the workouts both fun and challenging. They take ownership in my personnel development goals and help me to achieve those goals. Ive seen myself improve in strength, endurance and form. The atmosphere at Joust is very team oriented. My fellow classmates have always given me encouragement when I’m about to “give up” on a workout. That extra encouragement has helped me complete many workouts. When I joined Joust five years ago, I didn’t just join a CrossFit gym, I joined an extended family.

I never expected that I was going to enjoy CrossFit as much as I do and that is all thanks to Joust. Initially the idea of CrossFit seemed really intimidating, but after the first month I was hooked. The people, the coaching, and the workouts are all FANTASTIC! I highly recommend Joust to anyone who is looking to change up thier fitness routine in the most positive matter and join a really encouraging and friendly community of people.

I have been a member for over 5 years. Great place, awesome coaches, and an amazing community. If you are a seasoned crossfit veteran or just looking a for a new way to workout you will find what you need here.
