Michigan Muscle Club

MMC aims to create a community for people not only to learn how to lift weights and eat well, but also to motivate one another to be their best self.

The Michigan Muscle Club (MMC) is the fastest growing bodybuilding and fitness club in Ann Arbor. This is a student-run organization devoted to promoting fitness at the University of Michigan. At the Michigan Muscle Club, we provide a healthy, judgement-free, and motivational environment in which members are part of an inclusive and cooperative learning community. Everybody is welcome, regardless

MMC takes on teen nationals 🤝😈

Special shout-out to and ‼️ Sawyer took first in teen 3 67.5kg weight class making her a NATIONAL CHAMPION🥇and Sam did an amazing job fighting it out in a stacked class. To do anything at a national level takes a great amount of hard work and attention to detail as well as being tough enough to battle through a long meet. These two have a championship mindset and will be only improving for the future. Both 19 years old with a bright future we’re so proud to call them our members ❤️ if you want a more detailed look into how they did individually check out their meet recaps on their individual posts but we just wanted to come on here and congratulate them for a job well done 🤝

✨✨MEMBER SPOTLIGHT ✨✨

“What’s up guys! My name is Zack and I’m currently a freshman. I’m from Ann Arbor Michigan (Chelsea technically but close enough). In high school I played soccer and basketball.

I’ve been seriously lifting for about a year and a half but sort of on and off strength training for a year before that. Now, I’m into bodybuilding and “aesthetics” as some might call it. I started really focusing on lifting after my senior soccer season and put on a little over 40lbs in the span of a year

I’ve never competed but something that I’ve been thinking about for a while. I’m pretty new to Muscle Club but love the community so far.

I’m by no means an expert of giving training advice but I love to point people in the right direction. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or just want to say what’s up!”

“Hey everyone! My name’s Kyle I’m a freshman studying business! I am a and sponsored athlete and am starting to work under my previous coach as a subcontracted coach! I used to play basketball and was a 4 year cross country runner and a captain my senior year

I’ve been seriously lifting since about December 2019 (first pic) and then made my Instagram account in January 2021 where I started to prep for my first mens physique show. The show was May 15th 2021 and I took 1st in the teens division! Currently I’m starting my cut and then will maintain until I’m about 5 weeks out from teen nationals in July!

I’m into bodybuilding and “aesthetics” but try to keep some strength training principles in my routine. I’m pretty new to MMC but have loved all my interactions so far and am excited to meet more of you guys!

If you see me in the gym or at a meeting feel free to say what’s up we can talk about lifting, music, social media, competing, or literally anything it doesn’t have to be fitness related lmao”

✨ FIRST MEMBER SPOTLIGHT SATURDAY: Meet the amazing !!! ✨

“My name is Abbey and I am a senior studying Cognitive Science and Linguistics! I am a gymnastics coach for kids with disabilities and compete in bodybuilding competitions in bikini and wellness whooooooop! This comes as a HUGE shock to most people because I spent a good chunk of high school unable to walk and bound by a wheelchair due to my condition Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. But here I am!

I’ve been doing what I call “LIFTING lifting” for a year a half, and about a year before that I didn’t know what to do in the gym at all so I don’t count it😂 During that same “idk what i’m doing!” time, I struggled with an eating disorder brought to you by the fitbit my mom got me for christmas🤪 but since then, I have become certified in eating disorder and obsessive exercise prevention!
I love MMC because no matter how new or advanced you are at lifting, we all learn so much from each other everyday. If I could describe our community in just a word: supportive and FUNNY ASF.

Currently enjoying my very last week before I begin prep for my bodybuilding competition in May. So basically you can catch me at hopcat for the next 4 days.

My hobby is helping girls get into fitness WITHOUT the struggle with food and exercise obsession that so many newbies go through. If that sounds like a fun time to you, I’m your girl. LETS HANGOUT!”
