Have additional questions about our services? We want to help! Please send us an email with your contact information and your questions and we'll get back to you as soon as we can!. We are a class-based training facility that offers one-hour, high intensity, full body workout classes. We've taken elements of collegiate strength and conditioning programs to develop our own unique training program for the everyday athlete.
Each BLF daily workout includes elements that focus on mobility/flexibility, core strengthening, cardiovascular training, as well as plyometric and free-weight fundamental movements. Blue Lion staff prides ourselves on being able to include athletes of any ability or background in our classes. We review the fundamentals and proper technique of each movement and will be with you every step of the way.

You can train like a professional athlete in this boutique fitness center run by local Ann Arborites. A number of recognizable local athletes frequent the gym, but everyone of all levels will feel right at home and make huge advances in their fitness goals!

I've been coming to Blue Lion since the first day it opened and think it's hands-down the best gym in Ann Arbor. The target audience for the gym used to be the younger, more Crossfit-oriented athlete, but they have expanded to include all types of athletes, so it's truly a gym for everyone. For example, in addition to me, my high school brother that's recovering from an ACL injury exercises at BLF, and my 59 year-old mother does private training with Ryan and adores her weekly session. I'm still working on convincing my dad to go, too!
Dan and Ryan, the owners, are absolutely fantastic - if you

I attended my first Blue Lion outdoor group class this week and I had a blast! I was nervous about how I would do since I've been staying in due to COVID and I'm out of shape. But my instructor, Adam was incredibly motivating, welcoming and attentive to form. Adam even introduced me to his sister, Christine whom was in class and cheered me on when I was struggling on the run. The facility and equipment is spotless and organized. The music is upbeat and clear. I highly recommend Blue Lion to both experienced or new fitness goers and out-of-towners looking for a gym with a sense of community!

Awesome gym- challenging workouts and a caring, welcoming community.
I joined Blue Lion a few weeks ago after moving to Ann Arbor. I've strength-trained the past few years in small class settings and was looking for something similar- a place where I could show up, pay attention, and work hard for 60 minutes knowing that my coaches had the knowledge and experience to plan workouts and to ensure I maintained the proper form.
Blue Lion has met and surpassed these expectations. I've joined a welcoming, hard-working group of people and have made great strength and cardio gains despite a few months

If you're looking for a gym that will push you to get a great workout while creating a welcoming environment for individuals of all fitness levels, you've found it in Blue Lion. The staff cares deeply about the individual members and I feel very fortunate to have discovered this gym. Special shout out to Adam for taking the time to help me with my form and technique in the larger class settings.

I’ve been going to Blue Lion for over 2 years now and am in the best shape of my life. Being a Retired division 1 athlete I was worried I would lose my passion for competition after graduating. Here at blue lion I’ve found an amazing community that pushes me to be a better person. I compete everyday to get stronger and push those around me to do just the same. It’s the only place I will workout at!!

My girlfriend I are visiting from out of town and were looking for a facility just like this. The equipment is clean and organized, and the staff is friendly and welcoming.
If you're in Ann Arbor or just passing through and want something more than what the run-of-the-mill commercial gym has to offer, definitely check this place out.

Blue Lion is by far the best gym in Ann Arbor, regardless of fitness level. I consider myself to be in good shape and wanted a gym where I could push my workouts to the next level, without drinking crossfit kool-aid everyday.
From day 1 I have loved this place. The classes are a great blend of strength, core and conditioning and every exercise is explained in great detail. On top of that, the people here are great. The trainers are knowledgeable, but also down to earth and always willing to offer advice. The people that go here are amazing as well, regardless of fitness level, everyone always

I cannot say enough good things about this gym. Having lived in larger cities (NYC, Chicago, Philly) where I belonged to innumerable fitness centers/crossfit boxes/boxing gyms, BLF is by far the BEST of the bunch. Historically, A2 hasn't had the best options in terms of workout facilities, but I am so happy BLF opened before I depart the Midwest :)! At BLF, your membership includes unlimited group classes (which are run like a D1 weight room with a hint of crossfit) and the weight and cardio equipment are free to use at your leisure if you want to take it easy. The group classes are truly

My wife and I were traveling back to Ann Arbor for a conference and were looking for a workout class. 3-4 people recommended Blue Lion Fitness and we are so happy they did. We wish we had this class where we live.
We met the owners Ryan and Danny. They have made the gym feel like a family atmosphere. Everyone was encouraging, while still allowing for great competition, incredibly intense workouts and a great sweat.
We cannot wait to get back to Ann Arbor so we can workout at Blue Lion again. The weekday class was perfect for all abilities, as long as you promise to try hard. Keep in mind they

I am a big fan of Blue Lion Fitness. I had been gym hopping for several years before a friend suggested we investigate the big blue lion that had popped up just across the street from our then current gym. I walked in to be greeted by a friendly, knowledgable staff, a clean facility, state of the art equipment, and a fresh perspective to my exercise regiment. I quickly took to the hour long classes designed to challenge mutiple muscle groups by use of high intensity interval training. By the end of week 1, I was hooked. I signed up that week and have since seen incredible transformations in
