While certainly not "super", these local gyms are great spots for those on a budget.. The Clean
Looking for a convenient local gym where you can jump on the treadmill, lift a few weights or even swim a couple laps without spending an arm and a leg? If so, then the Fitness USA Supercenters,with over 10 locations in the greater Detroit area, might be for you. These small gyms have a good selection of all-basic cardio equipment and weight lifting machines, but hard core workout enthusiasts are likely to be disappointed by the lack of free weights and generally crowded environment. Be sure to take advantage of the free personal training that comes with every membership.

The Jerk
However, while price and convenience may be positives, it always helps to read the fine print before you sign on the dotted line. Don't be pressured by aggressive staffers who try to lure first-time visitors into membership with "one-time only" discounts. Take the time to look around and make sure the gym has the type of environment and equipment to help you reach your fitness goals. Also, since men and women workout at different locations on different days, you will definitely want to visit both locations that you are likely to use.
