Awarded Ann Arbor's Best Gym Facility: 2015 through 2023
Welcome to Blue Lion Fitness
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.
Our coaches work hard to motivate individuals to accomplish their fitness goals, while placing importance on
technique and proper form.
Semi-Private Group Classes
Our one-hour group classes, offered Monday - Sunday, are comprised of four parts:
- Warm-up: Increase heart rate & targeted stretching
- Core: Abdominal & low back exercises paired with injury prevention
-
Strength: Barbell & Dumbbell exercises paired with complimentary plyometric/resistance movements
-
MetCon: High intensity segment with movements that increase both muscular and cardiovascular endurance
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. Free weight experience is helpful but not required.
Personal Training
BLF offers personal training sessions for anyone who may have sports-specific goals or is more comfortable in a 1-on-1 setting. Private sessions allow individuals to work closely with our coaches which can be very helpful to those who are training for something specific or for individuals who want to get a more in-depth understanding of movement fundamentals.
We also offer private group training for couples and family members that want to workout together. Our trainers have experience working with every level athlete at every age and are ready to start working with you today!

Our Background
In 2015, two friends, Daniel Roth and Ryan Van Bergen founded Blue Lion Fitness out of necessity for a group-based workout class that included free-weight training, but wasn’t “CrossFit®.” They identified an opportunity in the market to create an alternative training program—one designed for any level of athlete, offered fresh programming in an energy-filled environment, and focused on injury prevention.
Although Blue Lion Fitness programming incorporates movements that are similar to CrossFit®, what separates BLF is Dan and Ryan’s unique approach to how movements are strung together and taught with precision. Programming and classes are designed to reflect a format that takes all measures to ensure movements are performed with minimal risk by incorporating proper mobility and core strengthening prior to resistance training movements.
