Why Group Fitness at The Mix Is More Than Just a Workout
Group fitness classes arenât just about burning caloriesâtheyâre about connection, community, and rediscovering joy in movement. As Mikala Jamison wrote in The Atlantic, group classes are one of the best places to make friends as an adult. At The Mix Fitness Studios in Ypsilanti, we see that truth every day.
Since 2016, we've built a vibrant fitness communityâespecially for women over 30âwhere fun, movement, and meaningful connection go hand-in-hand. With over 60 weekly classes, we offer a wide range of options to fit real lives and bodies, from Athletic Conditioning and Level 2 Bounce to Aging Well and Balance Strength & Stretch.
Weâre not a traditional gym. Yes, we have mirrorsâbut no bodybuilders yelling or grunting here. Instead, our gorgeous, welcoming studio spaces make you want to show up. Small class sizes (usually 11 or fewer) and private personal training rooms ensure personalized attention in a supportive atmosphere.
And weâre proud to be recognized for it. Weâve been featured on WDIV Channel 4, WEMU 97.1, and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, and in outlets like MLive, Concentrate, and the Detroit Free Pressâhighlighting everything from our unique trampoline rebounding classes to our focus on community and wellness.

You donât have to be an athlete to belong here. Just someone who wants to feel strong, have fun, and keep moving forward
