Went to Rips for the first time yesterday, and today I feel amazing. Rip is willing to push u to get results. I don't usually write reviews but I feel like people might judge this gym on appearance without giving it a chance. I felt like family within the first few minutes I was there, and I usually don't come out of my shell very quickly. To be so comfortable, and yet pushed beyond your comfort zone, I'm very excited to continue at Rips

My family has been going here for years and we love it. It is smaller but creates a personal, more comfortable feeling than most gyms. The workout classes are effective and fun! Everyone that works out here is friendly and helpful also! I highly suggest trying out Rip's gym. =)

I was only in town for three weeks and not only did I have a kick-in-the-pants training experience, but I already feel like a part of the family! This place has an amazing, INVOLVED staff that really cares about your training goals. I took a break from my daily yoga practice to learn boxing, pilates, circuit training and free weight techniques. Rip knows his stuff and doles out the tough love 110%. The other gym members are laid back and very friendly - rare for a smaller, neighborhood gym.Most importantly, I had that nice sore muscle feel for almost the whole duration of my trip to the Flint area - thank you Rip and Val and the early morning crew!
