About this place Body Zone

Body Zone at 1617 East McNichols Road is the only gay bathhouse left in metro Detroit. Out x Out lists it as men only and open 24 hours, seven days a week. TNT Health Club, the other long-running option, closed in 2018 (Pride Source). Entry works on a membership plus a locker or private room. Directory listings give roughly $50 for a year's membership, $25 for a room and $30 for a locker, more at weekends; these prices aren't dated, so confirm at the door.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE. $68 dollars for sauna smelling like smoke with no bathtub.

This is a health spa/sauna for for gay, bi, and questioning men. Open every day, 24 hours daily. Nice steamroom (doesn't get too hot) and dry sauna (perfect temp) and lockers and rooms to rent. Plenty of parking front and back of building. I've met many wonderful guys here through the years.

Came to Detroit for visit and wanted to explore what Body Zone had to offer. I would say it’s a bit pricey. I came with one other person and we were out of state, so the cost totaled to be around $100. We both had to buy a $30 membership and each person has to pay for an additional amenity (we decided on a private room and locker). As for the crowd, we went on weekday, so slightly less people. The majority were older folk. However, there was a few younger guys. As for rooms, they offer a sex sling, gloryholes, sauna and steam room, gym, pool table, showers, and smoke area. Overall, really nice experience and had a great time!

I have not had the pleasure of going there, so after reading many comments, I will go there. A lot of complaints seem to be the price, so I ask this, would you pay the same price for a place to offers women ? The positive comments are what is going to bring me in. One person complained he only received two condoms and had to ask for more and got two, seems like probably solved. Another man said that he enjoyed the company if two men and he was filled with happiness, ( my kind of man). I look forward to my visit, and will gladly get a membership and pay for a room, and hopefully I can find a couple of men that have already used up their condoms and will fulfill my GAY urges. One last thing, if I do have an unpleasant experience, it's still better than being home with the wife, but I don't think being with naked men can ever be a bad experience

I've been to places like this all over the country and a couple outside of this country. I've been to the fancy ones like Steamworks and the more gritty, lower budget ones as well. And I don't discriminate based on how upscale one is or not. As long as it has the right amenities, is clean, has a good crowd and mix, with a friendly staff that's all I need. This place has a good amount going for it. Sad to see they don't have a maze or very many dark rooms/corners to go to was a bummer, but the staff was really great and so was the crowd. When I tell you I was FLOORED that they allow smoking in here. What a huge disappointment. Smoking was banned in indoor spaces in Michigan 15 years ago for good reason. The level of second hand smoke in here was just awful. There were parts I couldn't even go in because of the smoke. It permeated every single part of the place. It is absurd that this is allowed. The entire place smelled like a 1986 disco. Fresh, CLEAN, air to breath should be of paramount concern to whoever runs this place. It is the height of negligence to permit anyone to smoke in an enclosed space like this. My things were in a locker and after being there for the 2 or so hours I stayed, all of my things reeked of cigarettes. I stayed because the men were the right vibe and they already charged my card, but I'll never step foot in here again until they get with the times. Create an outdoor space for the smokers or ban it outright. It's 2025. Do better. 2 star because this place has the potential to really be something if whatever leadership is in place fixes the air quality. No one deserves to inhale that level of second hand smoke just to have a good time. *since the owner finally responded, let me also add that having a "designated smoking area" is the entire problem (you also allow it in the rooms and those are everywhere). Smoking shouldn't be allowed indoors, PERIOD. Create an outdoor area or do the right thing and ban it entirely. Cigarette smoke doesn't abide by arbitrarily "designated areas" and will disperse to every corner of an enclosed space. Until you do the right thing, get with the times, and ban cigarette smoking in ANY area then what you're offering is an unsafe and frankly disgusting environment to be in.
