Im from the east side of the state, and all the gyms like this have disappeared. They have been overran by the garbage Planet Fitness model where you CANT lift and are nearly forced to stay out of shape. This is not a pick up joint or a health spa for ladies to come stand around with their makeup on and guys to lean around on equipment making sad attempts to pick them up . . . No, my friends, this is a real gym where people come to lift weights and melt fat on the cardio machines or in the classes they offer. I pay a little more for a month to month membership, and I LOVE the flexibility, because my job moves me around regularly. I had to cancel my membership a few months ago due to work, and no questions were asked. I just started it back up on the same plan. As a side note, they DONT just randomly charge you for stuff like some have accused. I get a regular monthly bill, no surprises. I also enjoy the convenience of being able to take a snack/drink after hours and have my account charged. Keep up the good work!

I stopped in for a class while on vacation. Im a member at another powerhouse gym so I was annoyed that I had to pay a $6 fee but the staff were really friendly. The childcare was huge, lots of fun, clean, nice toys and I felt comfortable leaving my kids in their care. However, I was disappointed in the equipment. It was terribly dated and the classroom was carpeted....yes, carpeted!!! Mirrors were wavy and so far from where I stood I could hardly see myself to check my form. I had to go from memory. The instructor for the class was so friendly and had some pretty enviable muscles going for her ;) which is motivating. But unfortunately, Id look for another gym if I lived there. I just couldnt get by on a daily basis with the equipment and that carpeted floor!! Theres a lot to say about the care and quality of the childcare and I did get a good workout so I give my 3 stars to that.

My girlfriend and I were driving through on a Saturday night and stopped in Grand Rapids to visit family. We needed a place to workout in the morning before our ferry left at 1015. Powerhouse gym was the only place I called in the entire area that was willing to work with me on a getting a day pass, since they are not normally staffed on Sundays. Their customer service was great. The gym equipment was dated, but that doesnt matter to me. It all weighs the same. Has all the equipment I needed and kept clean. The only downsides were that it felt a little cramped, which luckily we went there during a non-rush time, and we had to rent a towel for 75 cents. Seems a little unnecessary to me, but oh well. If I am ever in the area again, I will definitely be working out here again.

I really really tried to like this gym, I went for six months and I just couldnt do it anymore. The equipment is outdated, memberships are oversold and the gym so crowded that its nearly impossible to use the equipment youd like to use when youd like to use it. The douche factor is on slam here; lots of stare-downs and judgments at Powerhouse. Definitely not a judgment free zone! If there werent so many meatheads hogging the equipment 50% of the time and blocking it while drinking their protein drinks the other 50% of the time I probably could have made it through til my contract expired. As it is, Ill just ride it out as a learning experience and join another gym that doesnt make me feel like crap about myself.

Honestly I love this gym and Ive gone to several gyms in GH all my life. . . Norton Pines, the YMCA, all offered more than I would use and cost a huge amount. I dont have kids, never used the pool, raquet ball courts, ect. Powerhouse offers a good variety of cardio machines and a surplus of free weights. Theres almost always a cardio machine available. The side room where classes are held, is also open for anyone to use when classes are not in session. As a female I love that when I lift weights, so Ive got some privacy. I think its great!

Membership fees were reasonable. However, we were initially suckered in with a phone call telling us that we won a free membership (shame on us). The biggest problem, though: the owners were clueless when it came to customer service. Every encounter that we had with them made us feel like we were an annoyance to them. They value money over relationship - bad for business... theyll receive payments now, but we will never, absolutely never be back.

Tried to cancel membership after one (1) visit but no emails were returned, phone calls were put on hold forever. They failed to refund my initial payment and when I blocked my credit card they sent my account to a collection agency even after written notification of my displeasure. Crowded, unclean, outdated. Find a different gym.

Been here about 3 years now and by far my favorite gym in town. Wide range of weights and equipment. Very friendly atmosphere, you could ask anyone for a spot or for lifting advice. The new owner, Hunter, is doing a great job of taking over and changing things up. Stop in and see for yourself!

I was signed up for an automatic renewing membership, that I specifically asked to not be signed up for. The lady assured me at the time I joined that it would be a one time payment. Now Im being harassed by a third party bill collector for membership dues that I should not have to pay.

The only thing I established was they are good at suckering money out of you. Beware the hidden charges and fine print with their contracts, because they certainly wont be honest about it. Also, never give them your credit card info. They can and will charge it without your permission.

Powerhouse Gym is a great value for maintaining your health in Grand Haven. Other gyms may have a few extras, like a pool, but this is all I need to get a good workout. Love the flexibility of time, and the owner, Hunter, is very personal, and cares about his customers

I have worked out at Powerhouse both with the previous and now new owner. I like that it is a focused, but friendly, environment. I am able to get in a great workout doing whatever Im in the mood for that day, between classes, cardio machines, and weights. 5 stars!

There is more than enough weight training equipment for people of all levels. I can train with someone who lifts 3 times as much as I do with no problem. I also love how open the training area is and that the gym is available 24 hrs a day.

Joining Powerhouse Gym was the best decision I could have made for myself! The price is great, the facility is clean, and the staff is welcoming. I enjoy the variety of classes offered... and the quality of the equipment available.

I love going to powerhouse to workout. Its not one of those "pick me up" kind of gyms. People are there to really workout and everyone Ive met are very friendly. It is a very clean gym and I never have to wait for a treadmill.
