    Default Black iron gym close to Ann Arbor, MI?

    Google didn't reveal anything obvious. I suspect enough people in Ann Arbor are associated with the university to make a private gym unfeasible, but who knows. I'm going to be there for a couple days, visiting family, and I'd love to be able to not miss a workout.

    Thanks,

    Joss

    If one of your family members is associated with the University, you can purchase a guess pass for $10 per day: http://www.recsports.umich.edu/members/FAQ.html

    If you're willing to widen your search to Ypsilanti (which is right next to Ann Arbor), you can find a Powerhouse Gym (and a Bally's, I guess.........).

    I found another place that seems to be associated with the University of Michigan that sells day passes: the MFit Fitness Center: http://hr.umich.edu/mhealthy/program...esscenter.html

    Here's what they have to say!

    Ugh. Sounds like the anti-black iron gym (white iron?).

    Sorry, I wish I could be more helpful.............I lived in Ann Arbor for several years as a student, but even if I hadn't been a physically lazy sack of shit back then, I would've just used the U of M athletic center. (Still kicking myself for that...........I just imagine what four years of heavy lifting in conjunction with the high calorie diet my younger self was already eating would've done for me............)
