Healthworks in Eaton Rapids, Michigan shows 4.5 from 14 reviews, and its four written reviews, spanning 2017 to 2020, describe a small hospital-affiliated gym with genuinely included personal training, though one reviewer specifically flags the closing hours as a real problem for after-work visits.
A Specific Complaint About Closing Hours
Todd Becker's review, from February 2020, raises a concrete scheduling issue: "The hours are horrible, if you work a 9 to 5 job and work out after work you better head straight there. I have been kicked out due to the ridiculous closing time two or three times." I'd flag that directly, since being asked to leave multiple times due to closing time is a specific, repeated experience, not a one-off misunderstanding, and it's worth checking the listing's published hours carefully if you plan to train immediately after a standard workday.
A Detailed Account of Included Personal Training and Reasonable Pricing
JoVon Pierce's review, from January 2019, offers a strong counterpoint focused on value: "I love this gym. The trainers are great. The price of the membership is reasonable and includes an hour a week with a trainer. The trainers are knowledgeable and very helpful in helping you set and achieve your goals." I'd note that included weekly trainer hour directly, since bundling a full hour of personal training into a standard membership price is an unusually strong value proposition most commercial gyms don't offer.
A Detailed Account of Comfort and Physical Therapy Referrals
Rebecca Kellogg's review, from January 2017, adds a specific detail about how the facility connects to broader hospital services: "I never knew for the longest time that anyone could get a membership here. I really enjoy the atmosphere and staff. I am not uncomfortable working out here. I was also referred here for PT by my doctor, and the staff was very caring." I'd treat that PT referral detail directly, since it confirms the gym serves a dual role, both a general membership gym and a physical therapy referral site for hospital patients.
An Additional Brief, Positive Account
S.P. O'Neill's review, from January 2020, keeps things concise but warm, describing it as the best big little gym in a small hometown hospital.
What's Missing
No review states an exact monthly membership price beyond JoVon's general characterization of it as reasonable. Nothing here confirms whether the closing-hours issue Todd described has since been adjusted, since it's the most recent written review in this set.
Who It's Not For
Anyone who needs to train specifically right after a standard 9-to-5 workday, given at least one specific, repeated complaint about being asked to leave due to early closing times. Anyone who needs exact pricing before joining, since no review gives a specific figure beyond a general characterization of value.
