Awarded Ann Arbor's Best Gym Facility since 2015, Blue Lion Fitness specializes in group-based workout classes that include free-weight training but aren't CrossFit. Founded by former Michigan football player Ryan Van Bergen and Daniel Roth to recreate a collegiate strength and conditioning environment, the gym offers 9 sessions daily, an hour long each focused on proper mobility and core strengthening prior to resistance training movements.

Blue Lion is the only gym Ive ever loved. The vibe is somehow mellow and motivational at the same time, and every single trainer there is an expert at helping you get whatever it is you need from your workout.

As a woman in a larger body gyms can be very intimidating. I was introduced to Jaime as my first coach, and she immediately understood that I didn't want to lose weight, but instead wanted to just feel comfortable moving in my body and having fun. She made me feel confident learning the movements in personal training, and helped me transition into the class setting. I've been going for over a year, and I couldn't be happier. I've worked with several other coaches, and they are all impressive. Thank you for creating an environment for EVERY body and goal.
