This is the absolute best GYM and community. All of the coaches are wonderful and meet you where you are at in your fitness journey. Do yourself a favor and come check it out, your body will thank you.

I live out of state and have been to a few different crossfit gyms but this one is always my favorite to come back to. The coaches are very attentive, take time to explain movements, are super friendly, care about good form, and will push you! I have been to several of their morning classes and class size definitely ranges. I think the evening/afternoon classes are a little busier but the morning class sizes are great, maybe around 10 people. Everything is really clean, no weird smells or anything like that. The atmosphere is also super unique. They have a whole warm up area if you like to get there early and stretch on your own like I do, and lots of plants and things that make the whole gym feel very welcoming. You can tell they love their members because they have lockers with people's names on them and photos, and places for people to leave their gym accessories. They also sell different protein items, shirts, etc. I would highly recommend Big North Barbell!

I have been going to Big North for a very long time. It is part of my daily routine I look forward. We are truly a family of encouragement. The coaches meet you at your level of fitness. Everyone is welcome at any level of fitness. It's just fun to do hard things with friends.

Traveled to Gaylord, MI for work for 3 days. I was just going to go to one class to get out of the hotel but everyone was so great and the trainers are so knowledgeable I went back all 3 days. I definitely recommend this gym.

A great gym with awesome trainers. Wide variety of classes from as early as 5am until ad late as 5:30 pm. Very clean and wide variety of workout options.

I highly recommend Big North Barbell! After the gym I had attended for several years closed, I was nervous about starting somewhere new, but I’m so glad I joined.Everyone has been very welcoming from the beginning. The coaches are fantastic and truly care about their members. They make sure you’re using proper form, offer guidance when needed, and push you to do your best.I’m very pleased with my experience at Big North Barbell and so happy I decided to join. It’s a great gym with a supportive and encouraging atmosphere!

I was told about this CrossFit gym while in Michigan for the Army. Carey and her staff made myself and other Army Buddies feel welcome and right at home. The facility had all top notch equipment and was very clean and spacious. Would Definitely go back next time we are here.

I only drop in a few times a year while on vacation, but this CrossFit gym always makes me feel like part of the crew. Carey is super responsive and always gives the coaches a heads-up when I’m coming, which I really appreciate. Every time I walk in, I’m welcomed like a regular.The coaches are knowledgeable and friendly, and the workouts are approachable with smart warm-ups and clear instruction. Coach Britt even worked out alongside me one day — she’s insanely strong and fast, but still down-to-earth and encouraging.The gym has a great community vibe, welcoming people of all backgrounds and fitness levels. Whether you’re local or just visiting, this is the kind of place you’ll want to keep coming back to.

I have been going to big north on and off for about 3 years. They have been with me through pregnancy, multiple seasons of life, and multiple injuries. The thing I like most is feeling like I am a part of a community of people who care and knowing where ever I am at I life, they will meet me there. They will phelp me modify if needed, help me stay accountable and encourage me to push it when the time is right! Can’t say enough good things about this place. I used to be intimidated by this type of gym, and now it is what I recommend to anyone no matter what their skill level! Keep it up Big North!

2024-01-11T00:39:05.219Z

Carey, the owner and coach, is an amazing person, coach, and owner. The gym space is clean, spacious and gives a welcoming vibe the minute you walk through the door. Photos don’t do justice to just how large this place is and how nice. 10/10!

I’ve been going to Big North for six months and from day one Carey, the coaching staff, and all the members have been positive and supportive. I’ve gained strength, lost fat, and have improved mobility. The coaches always provide expert instruction and push you to reach your goals. My only regret is not joining sooner. Get in here!

BNB isn’t just a gym, it’s a family. The coaches truly care about fitness and friendships.

Awesome place and community! Coach Carey is always so motivating along with all of the other coaches. Highly recommend everyone to come check them out!

2023-03-30T13:49:05.834Z

BNB is my favorite place to go! Carey and the rest of the coaches are very friendly, approachable, knowledgeable and just overall great people! They know how to modify workouts if you can't do something or if you have any limitations.

2023-03-07T19:38:12.552Z

Great gym and place to achieve your goals! I've been on different plains throughout the past 8 years regarding my fitness and BNB has been able to meet and exceed my expectations. Great facility, excellent coaches, relevant programing, and a fantastic caring community.
