Fitness studios
St. Clair Shores CrossFit
Ready to get in the best shape of your life? The certified CrossFit trainers at SCS CrossFit can help you build muscle, burn fat, and feel great with personalized group training classes. Why is group training important, you ask? Group training helps increase motivation, build community, and boost endorphins; in fact, studies have shown that group training is often more effective than working out alone.
SCS CrossFit knows that CrossFit can be a little intimidating if you’re new to the activity, which is why they offer a free intro class to help you decide if it’s the right fitness option for you. Plus, SCS CrossFit even has kids’ fitness classes that combine calisthenics, jumping, climbing, and other natural movements to help kids develop a healthy relationship with exercise from an early age.

Treat your face to a chemical peel
Nothing says self-care quite like a facial treatment. If the last 18 months have left your skin feeling a little lackluster, our expert staff at Cosmetic Surgeons of Michigan, PC offer customized chemical peels to help refresh your face. A chemical peel works by removing your face’s outermost layer of skin, revealing a fresh, new layer beneath it. A chemical peel can improve fine lines and sun damage, instantly taking years off your appearance and leave you feeling glowing inside and out.
