Proving Grounds Strength & Konditioning — Local services in Detroit

A lot of awesome barbell/dumbbell equipment, some dated machines alongside some great ones.

It is more like a bro’s local garage gym they let you use more than a full featured gym facility.

While I liked it in the Fall time, it was just too cold for me in the Winter time. Not quite see your breath cold, but cold enough to feel uncomfortable all session and potentially catch a chill.

I love that they offer a punch card option because to me, that is where this place shines. Can come in when needed to use amazing competition level gear but I am not sure I could recommend it as a year long facility.

Other main issue is the automation behind entry/exit and cancellation is a bit janky and it’s not super easy to wrangle with it when anytime I’ve called or I’ve seen someone call, they don’t get answer or text back.

Communication, customer service and the location itself could use some improvement.

Overall, solid 8/10. One of the only things like it in Metro Detroit. I am just disappointed overall that for intermediate lifters, there does not seem to be a gym yet that strikes all the boxes for a year...

Atmosphere is more like a garage gym, but that's what I was looking for. I'm mainly focused on powerlifting and it has everything that I need and almost everything that I would want. Nice benches, plenty of squat racks, variety of bars, dumbbells, kettlebells, fatbells. If you're into strongman, you can find most of the equipment you would need: atlas stones, sandbags, kegs, Husafell stone, farmer's carry, axel barbell, logs... If you're into any of the strength sports, you will find what you need here.

It's open 24/7 once you get a key card. Honestly, I'm usually one of only a few people there when I can fit it in. My interactions with others have been informative and positive. I've been able to record my lifts with...

I recently had the pleasure of using Proving Grounds Strength & Konditioning gym and I must say, it was a fantastic experience. The owner generously allowed me to use the gym for free, and I was thoroughly impressed with the quality of the facility. The gym is well-equipped with top-of-the-line machines and equipment, making it an excellent choice for anyone looking to improve their strength and conditioning.

Overall, I highly recommend Proving Grounds Strength & Konditioning to anyone looking for a high-quality gym with great equipment. It's clear that the owner and staff are dedicated to providing a top-notch experience for their customers, and I look forward to using this gym again...
