This gym completely changed my life. I was a member/coach for 4 years. I learned so much from the community and the amazing coaches!!! The facility is huge and very clean. However, the owner Chris is the least pleasant person I have ever dealt with. He treated people around him horribly and pushed away lots of good coaches. I spent years trying to build a good relationship with him but failed. If you are new to CrossFit and want the best coaching, this is the place to be. Please be sure to avoid the owner so you get a pleasant experience.

Loved the wod here! Almost 10 years in CrossFit and never had a wod with sandbags over the wall. Loved it! Hope to come back. Coaching was excellent and the owners are both amazing to visit with.

I have been going there for 5 years and the team and owners do their best to maintain the place clean and up to date with equipment. Also lot of space to train, many type of equipment that will fit all your needs. Coaches that are all the time listening to your need and ready to support your goal providing well balance advice. Community is also great. All people coming to the gym are truly nice and welcoming.You should try.

I go to WS&C about 5-6 days/week. I love their diversity of class times. I can always find one that fits with my schedule. The staff is extremely friendly and makes and effort to note your process and help you improve. Whenever you are trying to develop a skill or perfect a movement they are great motivators and showing you the movements and adjusting you form.But, definitely my favorite part of this gym is the community atmosphere they strive to develop. Though the coaches are always encouraging, its great to see that the members are just as encouraging to one another throughout the workout.

I can’t say enough good things about this gym. I have been at Wolverine for 3+ years, and joining this community is hands down the best thing I did for myself when I moved to Ann Arbor. It’s super clean, has good quality equipment, and most importantly the coaching is top notch. This is a great gym for anyone. Regardless of your background or current fitness level, you will have fun, learn, and be challenged here!

I have been a member for years and it has been encouraging to see they are always looking for ways to make improvements to the already stellar setup. Coaching crew has seen turnover but the head coach has kept everything top notch throughout. Community is very welcoming to athletes of all age/skill/experience levels. A great gym to call home.

I first started coming to this gym two years ago and it has completely changed my life and how I challenge myself physically and mentally every single day. The coaches are top notch, the community is inviting, and the gym is always kept clean. When I leave Michigan and search for a new gym, Wolverine Strength and Conditioning will be the standard I judge all other gyms against.

Ive been working out at Wolverine Strength and Conditioning for almost 2 years. The coaches and staff are extremely knowledgeable and will always go the extra mile to make sure youre working out in a safe and effective manor. They pride themselves in creating a fun, positive and supportive environment for individuals of all fitness backgrounds. If youre a person who has never picked up a weight in your life and looking to take the first steps to improving your health then Wolverine is the place to be.

If you’re looking for a top notch gym full of great people, this is the place to be. I have been working out here for 4 years now and I have learned so much - so much about being an athlete, about mental toughness, and about myself.Want to shed some pounds? You can do it here. Want to learn how to lift weights? You can do it here. Want to learn how to be a better person? Oh yeah, you can do that here too. And you’re going to make friends. There’s just no way you won’t meet someone - they have somehow found a way to only let nice people in the door.And you’re going to learn the right way to lift. The SAFE way to lift. The place is impeccably clean, always always always well coached, and all around a great environment. You’ll be hard pressed to find a better community.

I have been working out here for two months and really enjoy the welcoming, friendly environment. A busy schedule limits my ability to make class times, but the backroom allows me to get work in when I can’t make it to class. Great coaching and great community. Highly recommend.

I did my due diligence before joining, checking out several other places in the area and its been a really good 9 months of knowing I made a great decision to join Wolverine Strength and Conditioning.The coaches and staff are really invested in the well being of the members. The instruction is both fun and on point.The environment is very welcoming, with people at all sorts of stages along their life and fitness journey working out together. They offer a ton of class times and they have a lot of equipment and have still been investing in the facility and adding more.

I have been going to Wolverine for 3 years now, and I am so happy I chose this gym! They place a huge emphasis on safety and correct form, avoiding injury, and functional fitness for all levels. The coaches are extremely knowledgeable and encouraging and they always ensure a small ratio of athletes to coaches, so you can always expect to get individualized attention and coaching throughout the WOD. The space is huge and extremely clean, and everyone is unbelievably welcoming and encouraging. I have made many friendships through this wonderful community. Love this gym!

Been a member for 3+ years. Great staff, clean and spacious facility with lots of XFIT toys for a variety of workouts. They are constantly re-investing back into the gym, improving their coaching and programming and overall experience. Coaches always work with people to challenge them at THEIR skill level. Been to several other gyms in other areas of the country and can say with confidence this is one of the best gyms I’ve been to.

Review №16

My family and I have been working out at wolverine since they first opened their doors for a thousand reasons, but the most important one is the staff. The community that Mike and the entire coaching staff create is an honor to be apart of. Whether you’re shooting to compete in some obscure fitness contest or just trying to look good at the beach, you’ll find the appropriate attitude and experience at Wolverine. Me? I’m lazy. I suck at self motivation. That’s why I love the cross fit classes...I’m encouraged and motivated by everyone in there regardless of their (or my) skill level.It’s a welcoming space. The coaches don’t care if you’re training for the Olympics...they’re just excited to help get you where you wanna go. I can’t think of a better environment for me (and the rest of my brood) than that.

I cant say enough about these people and this gym. Talk about no judgment zone.. This is all encouragement all the time with the perfect blend of competition against yourself and others if you want it. Sarah and Landon have I believe literally saved my life by reversing my dangerous sedentary lifestyle trends due to injury. They are patient, always finding an alternative exercise when physical limitations hit and there to encourage and push in both the perfect amounts.

Review №24

Ive been doing CrossFit for years, and Ive been to boxes across the country. What makes for a good gym, IMO, is coaching, community, and facilities -- in that order. Wolverine has the best coaching Ive experienced, a great community, and fantastic facilities. CF has exploded so much, and so fast, that the average quality of coaching has decreased significantly. Supply cant keep up with demand. But Wolverine keeps finding and training great coaches. Its clean. You wont get heat stroke or frostbite. They get my highest recommendation.

My husband and I have been working out at Wolverine for nearly 5 years, and now our 6-year-old daughter is really enjoying the Kids Krush classes, too. Coach Mike OBrien and his team saw me through my second pregnancy (working out, safely, up until my due date) and have helped me gain strength, endurance, and confidence in my athletic abilities. The camaraderie at this gym is amazing, and I always look forward to going. Because the coaches help each member tailor workouts to suit his or her needs, Wolverine is a great fit for almost everyone, from people rehabbing from injuries, to those who havent set foot in a gym in 20 years, to lifelong competitive athletes. Hats off to the talented and diligent staff who have created this supportive, family-friendly environment for fitness!

Ive been a member since May 2016; this is a world class CrossFit gym. All of the coaches are top notch. The coaching style emphasizes continuous improvement for every member no matter their athletic ability. The coaches participate in educational training to improve their own instructional ability and to stay updated on advancements in athletic and CrossFit training. There is a strong sense of community and the coaches often reach out directly to members for an added level of accountability.The facility is exceptionally well maintained. Its equipped with top-of-the-line gear all the way from the pull-up rig to the barbells to the jump ropes. There is a fully dedicated studio for those interested in Olympic lifting.

Wolverine Strength and Conditioning is an excellent gym. Ive been a member at multiple different Crossfit gyms and this gym is by far the best. This is not to bash the other gyms Ive attended, Wolverine Strength and Conditioning is just THAT good! The coaching staff is extremely knowledgeable, dedicated and deliberate. The dual focus on longevity/safety and maintaining high intensity during a workout is something I really appreciate about WSC and have not experienced elsewhere. Working out here is continually one of the best parts of the day and I couldnt recommend it enough!

When I joined Wolverine Strength and Conditioning I was really struck by how warm and welcoming everyone was. The community is really great and very non-judgmental and supportive. The coaches really care about proper technique and injury prevention. Everyone still pushes themselves hard during the WOD but it is in a very fun, supportive environment. As others have said, the gym is spacious and clean. WSC has often been my best hour of the day.

Have been at WSC for ~2 years and couldnt recommend it enough. After dropping in at a few other boxes and doing other types of workout classes, Ive come to appreciate how great and well-run WSC is. Love that the gym is open all day with a variety of different class times to choose from (and option for open gym) and that classes start on time!! The coaching staff is dedicated to keeping members safe and helping them improve while encouraging a sense of community.

I can only say good things about Wolverine. I have been here for about a year and a half and have loved every minute of it. The staff is very friendly and extremely knowledgable when it comes to training various different types of athletes. They understand each individuals goals by really getting to know all the members on a personal level. Perhaps the greatest part about Wolverine is the community. The members are extremely friendly and even when your new you feel like youve been there for years!

I am a 64 year old baby boomer and was looking for a way to fight off old age but was very afraid that a crossfit gym would be too extreme or too intense for me but thought I would give it a try. After one week I was hooked and have now been going 5 days a week for the padt 9 months. The way this gym handles an incredible variety of people in a group setting (young, old, male, female,thick, thin, muscled, beginners, etc) was truly amazing to me. In general everybody willing to help out the “newbies”! Coaching staff is excellent as well. I highly recommend this gym!

Review №47

I began my fitness journey 3 months ago. My baseline level of fitness was extremely low. The encouraging atmosphere, commitment to teaching from the coaching staff, and my personal results kept me coming.If you have been wanting to try CrossFit or strength training but are afraid to start because you think you arent fit enough, or maybe youre scared that others will make you feel intimidated, please give Wolverine Strength and Conditioning a try. Every class is structured in such a way that the more complex movements are broken down and taught step by step so you really dont need to come with any previous knowledge of how to lift. I think youll find that they have all the supports in place to help you reach your goals, whether youre an experienced athlete or a newbie taking your first step toward fitness. If youre motivated there is no better place to challenge yourself and get the results you want than Wolverine Strength and Conditioning.

Atmosphere is amazing, the place is always clean, with good quality equipment and very spacious.

WSC has been a second family for me since I started going there! All the coaches truly care about the members and our well-being. I broke my hand not too long after I started at WSC so the coaches worked with me to make sure all the movements I did were modified so I could keep working out through the recovery. The other members are amazing too. The support and inclusive atmosphere make coming to class so much fun. I’ve been some great friends in the year I’ve been there. I couldn’t imagine a better gym!

Wolverine is a gem of a gym. Ive lived in multiple states and have been a member to multiple gyms, none of which have even compared. The coaching staff is well educated and willing to do anything for you. They will tailor anything to help you, offer you advice for nutrition, help you better yourself and even check in on you if you havent been around for a bit. They truly care. The gym is well equipped and always clean.

I used to drive an hour to come to this gym, because its that welcoming of a place. I was completely new to CrossFit and they took me in with no judgement. The staff and members are very supportive, making sure that everyone gets the most out of each workout. The staff really knows how to push you to become a healthier and fitter you. Since moving to the area I cant wait to work out there everyday. No only are they supportive of their members, but they enjoy hosting community events which I have had the pleasure of helping with. This is more than a gym its a community that I love being apart of!

This place was started because Ann Arbor needed a customer focused CrossFit gym. This is a warm open facility that is available from 6:00AM until 9:30 PM. The instruction is first rate and the facility is clean. The staff focuses on continuous improvement of both the clients and the organization.Upon entering the 14,000 square foot facility you are greeted by a nice front counter and a friendly staff member. Everyone at Wolverine will try their best to make your training work for you, not against you. There are usually multiple coaches during the workouts to help maintain proper form and reduce injuries. There is also an HD video system that covers the exercise floor from three different angles so either you or the staff can review the movements during class times. a 6,000 watt sound system helps inspire you as you work out.

My husband and I joined WSC about a year ago after moving to Ann Arbor. Moving is hard--finding a new routine, new friends, etc. The members and coaching staff at WSC made us feel welcome and encouraged from the first day, and that has never changed. The coaching staff is excellent--not only are they knowledgeable, but they listen to and respect their athletes. The coaching staff have also helped me staff active, and most importantly safe, throughout my first pregnancy. Whether you already live in Ann Arbor, are moving to the area, or just stopping by for a visit, I highly recommend checking out WSC.

Review №66

Ive been going to Wolverine since it opened in Nov. 2013 and absolutely would recommend it to anyone that wants to improve their physical, emotional and mental health. The staff, including lead trainer Mike OBrien, is incredibly inviting, breaking down all of your fears about beginning a program at a gym. They will push you to be your best but they do so with a keen understanding of where you are physically, focusing on gradual gains, and they will be the first to tell you to slow down or modify an exercise so that you dont injure yourself in the short and long term.Perhaps the best thing about Wolverine, though, is the community. Ive been at other crossfit gyms where there is a competitiveness that is off-putting. Where members arent friends but just people that show up at the same time to work out in the same setting. We are a family. Everyone cares about each other. You will make so many great friends because every day you will be greeted by like-minded individuals with a smile on their face that take as much pride in watching you succeed as they do in their own success.I dont know how the staff at Wolverine forged that culture, but they have, and it makes going to the gym often the highlight of your day.This community is always planning events too. Birthday parties. Summer cookouts. New Years celebrations. Game nights. It seems like at least twice a month someone is inviting the whole lot to come hang out. It really is an incredible place.

Great facility, great trainers, great people. I walked in almost 4 months ago out of shape and overweight and, while Im still overweight (but dropping it steadily), Im in much better shape, much stronger, and the journey so far has been a blast.The main message I want to put out there about this place is: if youre intimidated, if you dont know if you can do it, if youre embarrassed about where youre at physically, so was I. Know that you will be welcomed here and the coaches will meet you where youre at. They have an well-honed ability to push you just past your comfort zone while keeping you safe. Form, safety, and steady progression are emphasized. Im not an athlete, but I never feel out of place here. Its seriously hard work, and it should be - I neglected my body for a long time - but its always worth it. And its seriously fun, too.

WSC is a great gym. It is a genuine, welcoming community consisting of people of all ages and fitness levels. CrossFit can be intimidating but the coaching staff at Wolverine excels at educating and motivating. All workouts can be scaled to each athletes fitness level and the coaches will gladly help you find the right movement for your ability.

Review №77

I am picky about gyms and even more so about coaches. I knew I was looking for a gym that would push me to a higher fitness level. I was worried that CrossFit would be a bunch of meatheads, honesty. SO WRONG. As others have said, it is more than just a gym. I keep going for 4 reasons: #1. I am almost 40 and stronger than Ive ever been, #2. I love that every day is different and pushes me mentally & physically, #3. The coaches are incredible, and the head coach Mike OBrien is one of the best out there, and #4. The people make it a community - it truly is a fitness family. I didnt expect that.

Review №78

This is a CrossFit gym. As a 64 year old, ex military, life-long athlete who wants to be able to play with my great-grandchildren when I am 90, I can tell you unequivocally that CrossFit is the best fitness program for all ages, gender and fitness level ever! And this CrossFit gym/program is undoubtedly one of the best you can find anywhere. I was so impressed when I walked in a year ago that I paid up front for a whole year and am soon to renew my membership for another.At Wolverine the coaches and fellow athletes (you will feel like an athlete here) will make you feel at home and will support you no matter your age, gender or fitness level. The workouts are all scalable so that everyone is challenged, from the 64-year olds (me) and a 72 year old couple (whom I admire greatly) to the young women and men who are lifting hundreds of pounds. You compete against yourself and personal records are cheered (whether it is a 50-pound front squat or 250-pounds).At Wolverine you will find a great diversity of age, gender and physical ability but all have one thing in common, a desire to work together to be physically fit.I can’t recommend Wolverine Strength and Conditioning enough.

I became a member of Wolverine Strength and Conditioning (WSC) in 2014, as I was recovering from an episode of Cancer. I am in my 60’s and have been a member of different gyms my whole adult life. The staff and facility at WSC are phenomenal. The workout area, the bathrooms and showers are clean and comfortable to use. The atmosphere is one of cooperation and the competition is with yourself, as we are all encouraged to do our personal best. I was introduced to other members and have made many friends since then. The coaches are “hands on” attentive and correct poor form. Their coaching has helped me to improve my form and function without injury. The proof is in the pudding, I followed the guidance of the coaches and I am faster and stronger because of it. About 3 years after starting at WSC I was approached by one of the coaches and trained to compete in a weightlifting competition. I was privileged to compete in the Arnold in Columbus. Not only am I healthier and stronger for working out at WSC, I enjoy my workouts with the other members and value the instruction by the knowledgeable coaches. Thanks WSC and Staff.

Coming in, I had no prior experience of weight lifting and had gone through several different gyms be it Lifetime, Planet Fitness, LA Fitness - and nothing compares to my experience at WSC. The amount of money you spend on personal fitness at any of those gyms just doesnt compare to the knowledge, results, and skills you gain at WSC.The first difference right off the bat are the coaches and extremely friendly staff; they care about your health and body (you dont just jump into any work out, they guide you with one-on-one training providing you with the fundamentals, they make sure that you are in the correct positions before any lift and familiarize you with how classes are ran), they are involved in your day to day workouts, give you the right guidance on your diet, and go out of the way to make sure that you follow a regular plan/are consistent.Regarding, the training and workouts - I really enjoy not having to plan my workouts in advance but still having access to see what the coaches have planned for that day (via the mobile app) and track/record my results and view progress. Each day has a new challenge, and is different/not purely based just on strength and lifting, most of the workouts combine cardio (rowing machine, assault bike, running, sled-push workouts) with circuit training (box jumps, wall balls, push-ups, pull-ups, situps, etc.), barbell lifting (cleans, jerks, push-press, overhead/back squats, dead-lifts, etc.). The other thing is, the class timings are extremely flexible and run pretty much throughout the day, so you dont have to worry about coming in at a particular time/coordinating with work and other day to day responsibilities. If you cant make it to a class, you can still come in and do the work out on your own and use the gym like any other regular gym - which is always nice as well.I highly suggest that you come try it out or speak to one of the coaches! Theres nothing to lose, and a lot to gain!

I had some shoulder issues that required some PT, but thought I was finally ready to try CrossFit. A good friend recommended I try Wolverine, because she had heard they are very big on safety and proper form. So i decided to stop in for a trial class. I had worked up to running a few miles per day, lifting a few dumbbells, doing pushups and sit ups and thought I was in fair shape for my age. But I’d never tried CrossFit. That first class was eye-opening. About halfway through the warmup on that first day, I was ready to fall out. I was surprised by how unfit I really was, but everyone in the class was very supportive and helped me get through the rest of the workout. I immediately signed up and have been seeing steady improvements since. The coaches are very good at motivating and pushing you to work hard, but only within your abilities. As advertised, they do help you improve your form, strength, and mobility to get you consistently performing the movements safely. They also encourage folks to get to know each other, and help build a supportive environment where a newcomer can feel welcome. Highly recommend.

I’ve been CrossFitting for 10yrs now, the last 3 at WSC. Any given day at WSC there’s all shapes & sizes, all levels of fitness. WSC coaches help modify workouts as needed, and continuously give guidance and support to increase confidence, keep the gains coming, and prevent injury. The WSC community supports & cheers on those small daily improvements that will get results. (Every. Single. Day.👍) Whether you want to make a lifestyle change, increase your competitiveness, or just maintain and/or get a workout in while you’re in town - this is the place.

I have had the pleasure to train all over the world, yet the best place was in my backyard all along. Ann Arbor holds Wolverine Strength and Conditioning...the cleanest, friendliest, best staffed gym I have ever been to. Immediately when you walk in there is no funky CrossFit box smell, that’s because they clean continuously. You are met with a warm smile, a friendly hello, and may be greeted by the red headed ball of smiles himself MOB. What amazes me most about this gym the most isn’t the fact that there facility is so clean, open, and tidy..it’s the fact they are well staffed with coaches that bring unparalleled passion to teaching. Most gyms simply write the WOD on the white board and say “ good luck”, but the WSC staff take their time to warm-up, train, teach, critique, improve and push their athletes. It is truly unlike any gym I have ever been apart of. Whether you are a Crossfit competitor, or a slow poke like myself, there is something for everyone. And if you want to just Olympic Weight-lift, you’re in double luck because there are over a dozen Olympic platforms and an ENTIRE SEPARATE ROOM dedicated to Olympic Lifters. (Seriously check out the photos!). I can’t say enough good things about this gym, it truly is one of a kind. The final shoutout I want to give is that this gym is truly Military Friendly. Every month they volunteer their time and their facility to training Americas Next generation of service members. No matter who you are, you need to check out WSC, whether you’re here for a day, or a lifetime, it is a truly remarkable experience!

The coaches are well trained and put a lot of time and effort into their programming. They truly care about their members!

Stopped in for a drop in session. The class was fairly busy but the coaches were able to check up on me almost constantly to make sure I was comfortable with the movements and to give feedback. The coaches were very knowlegable and patient as I came in with only a little experience. Also the community was great and really embodied the crossfit spirit by being super welcoming and supportive. Would not hesitate to stop in again next time I am in town.

As a very slight person, I never thought I would be able to do crossfit successfully. I have been a member at Wolverine for just over a year now and not only do I have more energy, but Ive become much stronger and gained much needed muscle mass. Without the support of the wonderful coaching staff, owners, and members at this gym, I would have been too intimidated to try the workouts. After belonging to many gyms in town, this is by far (very far), the best gym around.

Mike OBrian was my first coach and really took me under his wing. Ive been crossfitting for 5 years now. I have joined and visited multiple boxes & Hes probably the most compassionate coach Ive ever had. Hes extremely knowledgeable & makes you feel like he cares about you as an athlete. My very first CrossFit community will always have a place in my heart.

Such a great gym! Ive been across the country and visited many Crossfit gyms from the east to west coast and by far this is the most well run, clean, and friendly gym Ive been to. They are constantly getting new and better equipment and keep what they already have in tiptop shape. The programming, which is spot on, is done by the head coach who has been coaching Crossfit for over 10 years. I love this place and wouldnt trade it for anything in the world.

Wsc is one of my favorite places to be. The members and coaches feel like family. I love coming here every day and feel monumentally supported in reaching my goals. WSC is a great place to train whether you are looking to compete or gain general physical preparedness.

I look forward to going to WSC everyday. I know Im in good hands with trainers who are knowledgable and present. They are sticklers for safety. They will push you to do your best, but rein you in when you need it. Theyll be with you from beginning to end.
