I really tried to hang in there with this place through covid as I know things are tough for everyone and Ive been a member since they opened, but everyone involved here has completely given up. Staff is never on time to open the building for 8 am classes, we went months without soap in the bathrooms (DURING A PANDEMIC), classes are randomly canceled because there arent enough people to fill them and they tell you an hour beforehand, they start fitness competition programs and then once they get started you never hear about them again, and staff turnover is HIGH and due to this, nobody has any idea what is going on. Just this morning, I showed up for an 8:10 am class (nobody can make it there by 8 anymore) and the doors were locked until 8:15 when one of the trainers came out to let us in. The ONE OTHER person waiting in the parking lot went in before I could get my stuff together and the door shut behind her and the trainer, and when I tried to get in - the door was locked. I knocked, I yelled. I did not make the class. I wonder if the trainer thought I was hanging out in the parking lot just for fun. Great customer service right there.Honestly, this is a SHORT list of the things wrong with this place - AVOID. Too many new people who do not care and have NO idea what is going on. Ill be leaving as soon as I find a suitable gym replacement

Red effect is a great place to workout. I love the variety of workouts there and the trainers are very friendly and knowledgeable. The saunas are nice too!

Word of caution: never buy a year membership from this gym. In case of a GLOBAL PANDEMIC you will NEVER get your money back from this greedy company.I was a member for a year and was pressured to purchase a full year in December 2019. In March the gym was forced to close due to the government order and did not re-open until September (which was obviously a “come at your own risk” situation) I had not set foot in the gym since March and requested a refund for the unused months as I was not comfortable training anywhere while an airborne virus was plaguing the community. They refused to refund any of my membership. Almost zero communication and absolutely no understanding on their behalf.SO disappointed. Totally floored by this lack of customer service, especially as a founding member. I understand that this is a really tough time for businesses but we’re ALL suffering.

Red effect is an amazing gym!m, between the innovative infrared lights and saunas and the staff this is a place you will definitely want to go! The workouts really do push you even if you think you are in good shape!

This is by far the best gym I have ever been a part of! With so much variety of classes you could never get bored with your workout! I have never felt stronger working out elsewhere than I did at Red Effect. Awesome instructors and class times. I truly miss my gym and lookin forward to it opening back up.

This gym did not live up to my expectations. Policies and procedures are not discussed or communicated anywhere. More importantly, they are created as they go. Apparently, this is their corporate office which is poorly managed with new managers every month. In addition, the site is not clean as advertised. The gym lacks basic necessities for cleanliness such as paper towel in the restrooms.

Red Effect is my favorite workout in Ann Arbor. Truly the full package from Interval Training classes to Cycle to Yoga. The staff is so friendly and motivating, and they’ve adjusted to the times gracefully and still provide a workout that will kick your butt.

I have been a member at this Red Effect in Ann Arbor for two years from the first day it opened. During this time of COVID-19 and the reopening I have been so impressed with their safety and sanitation procedure.

The Red Effect is a wonderful addition on the south side of Ann Arbor. The staff and instructors are very friendly and professional. There are many different classes one can try, and my personal favorites are the Interval Training and Spin. I also enjoy going to the Pilates and stretch classes. There is something for everyone. I highly recommend it!

Well-managed fitness center and great staff and managers dedicated to their work.I love the fact that there are a variety of classes, private bathroom and shower room, as well as heated classroom.

Loving this gym so far! Staff are all friendly and the instructors are great. Facility is clean and has good equipment- you’ll definitely feel the burn during their workouts!

Red Effect is the best! They offer a great variety of classes and times! I have loved every class I’ve taken here and I genuinely look forward to my workout every time!

I have loved every class I have been to so far at this gym. They offer so many classes and times, I never get bored. The staff is amazing and there is a great sense of community here.

Love this place! The instructors are great and super friendly. But the best part is five concepts under one roof for a fantastic price!!!

This place is awesome! Expect to sweat...a lot! The classes are amazing, and the Circuit feels like you have your own personal trainer!

This gym is exactly what I’ve been looking for in a gym! The variety of workouts offered keep me interested and keep me from getting bored of my workout routine! There is a workout for every level of motivation I am feeling that day. Hit it hard or keep it light. Or nothing at all and just relax in a sauna for 45 mins. First class is free, so what are you waiting for?! Try it once and you’ll be hooked!

I haven’t been this consistent in...probably my life. Great classes and staff, variety, infrared saunas, and motivation. Just sign up already.

I have been searching for a gym in Ann Arbor for weeks and have finally found my forever gym home! This place is a true gem. IT classes. Spin, boxing, barre, Pilates, TRX, stretching, showers, and saunas all under infrared heat! If you haven’t tried it yet, you need to!

Excellent, well run gym that offers it all at a great price! Competitor to orange theory but offers much more. In addition to the IT you can do spin, yoga, and circuit training. I have my favorite trainers here but all staff are friendly and capable of motivating you through a great workout. The infra red heats up the room while you workout which they say has benefits e.g. faster recovery. I dont know where the exercise science literature is on that but it doesnt hurt the workout. Everyone all ages and fitness level workout there. Highly recommend.

This gym is the best ever! You will never get bored! Guided IT classes, spinning(like FlyWheel), yoga, Pilates & barre classes all under infrared light. Also, saunas & showers are available. Check it out!

I’ve gone to a number of different gyms in Ann Arbor, but never found one that met what I was looking for until Red Effect opened up. I love everything about this place. The trainers are excellent and the staff are friendly; some of them even take the time to remember members’ names, which makes me feel part of a community. The variety of classes available is surreal. My favorites are TRX, Barre, Pilates, Interval Training, and Kickboxing, but they also offer various yoga classes, Cardio Sculpt, and Cycling. I’ve been going regularly since January and I’ve already seen results. Highly highly recommend!

Workouts at RE are very efficient, the instructors are pleasant and knowledgeable, staff is outstanding.

Everyone is so nice! And the variety of classes is awesome.

Red Effect is an awesome gym and I am excited to be a member there for a number of reasons:1. Heat/infrared- Idk if I buy into all of the benefits of infrared, but I do know that my muscles feel amazing working out under their lights and the heat makes me stretchy. I love it and I dont like working out without it.2. The variety of classes is great and means there is always something new and fun to try. I take the IT classes and the Barre/pilates classes. The IT classes are HIIT workouts that combine rowing, tread, and weights/strength exercises. I am not the best at incorporating cardio into my workouts, so having the coach keeping us motivated through the whole class is so helpful for me3. The facility is clean and nice and there are plenty of showers/lockers/bathrooms etc.4. Red Effect offers programming similar to Orange Theory and HIIT at LA Fitness, at a lower price and better value. I have tried all three and the infrared experience really adds to the workout.5. The coaches are great! They are friendly, they keep you motivated, and they are qualified to provide guidance to their clients when it comes to form/ modifications.6. Free Sauna Sessions as a part of your membership! Whaaaat?! I have yet to try bc I am so on-the-go tbh, but just knowing that I can stop in for a sauna some day makes me feel like I am getting my bang for my buck!

Great classes and awesome staff!

Great fitness center!
