This is a review of this business in regards to an event that I attended today. The event was the First Annual "Power or Not" Meet and it was organized and ran well. They had two sessions one where you weigh in 7:00 - 8:00 AM and the other where you weigh in 8:30 - 9:30 AM. The lifting for session 1 started at 9:00 AM and it contained nine females. The lifting for session 2 started at 10:30 AM and it had seven males, and one bad-ass female. Session 2 only took about an hour and a half. I received an e-mail prior to the event that explained that this was going to be a great opportunity to cheer each other on. As a non-member of 4 Star Strength I can say without question that it was in fact that. There was plenty of support from everyone who attended, which was refreshing because I am used to that sense of community after doing CrossFit for the last five years. I met some nice and supportive folks and I am definitely looking forward to the next event that they put on. The event was a great way to understand the ins and outs of an Olympic Lifting competition. The facility is great-lots of quality equipment, such as weights, racks, bars, and various lifting items that you would typically see in an Olympic training facility. There were also people of all ages and skill levels, so they must doing a lot of things right. Its located near Michigan Dairy, which is off of Middlebelt and I-96. Check this place out!

4Star in Livonia, Michigan is without a doubt a straight up Olympic weightlifting gym. To set the context I was travelling to Dearborn to attend a week long workshop and wanted to train while in town. After an online search of options for Olympic weightlifting sessions, I definitely lucked out and made the right choice with 4Star, Matt and the crew. The facilities are great with lots of quality bumper plates, bars, squats racks, platforms, and even jerk racks which you don’t see much. The atmosphere is extremely welcoming. The athletes and coaches are supportive and truly live the sport of Olympic weightlifting. Training here is an exceptional experience, you feel right away at home in a supportive and fun environment with knowledgeable coaching. Here they know your name; you are not just a number. Originally from Canada and with 30 years as an Olympic weightlifter and coach, I have seen many gyms all over the world and speak from experience when I say 4Star is a choice you will not regret. The sport we love is in good hands with these folks as a model that works. Awesome place! Sincerely, Leigh Willis

I had the opportunity to attend the Womens Only Olympic Weightlifting Camp over this past weekend, and I cannot say enough good things about it! The coaching was amazing, I learned so much, and the atmosphere was perfect. I have always enjoyed working out, but this took that to a whole new level. As a beginner Olympic lifter, it was great to get exposure to techniques, new drills, and work to improve my lifts over the weekend. There were lifters from all levels, abilities and ages, and 4 star did a great job of giving us ALL attention and making everyone feel welcome. I would do this camp again in a heart beat, and I will be dropping in next time Im on the East Side. If you are in Michigan or even close to Michigan, consider giving 4 Star a try. They work with remote athletes too!!

I am relatively inexperienced with Olympic weightlifting, but I am not new to strength sports and have worked with several different coaches over the years as my goals and interests have changed. The coaching from Matt and his team at 4 Star is top notch! If you have any interest in learning Olympic weightlifting or would like to improve your technique, you need to get in here. I was most impressed by Matts willingness to tailor his coaching to each individual athlete, supporting a welcoming and non-intimidating atmosphere. I look forward to further refining my technique in future visits!

4 Star has the best Olympic lifting coaching and community in Michigan! The atmosphere is unlike any other gym in the area. The flexible nighttime hours (no class start times!) is ideal for the busy working folks such as myself. I love being able to come in whenever I want at night and know that Im going to get hands-on attention. Not intimidating at all yet challenging and fun. A great place to work on all barbell movements.
