The mats are clean, equipment is sturdy, and the classes are well designed. The rest rooms have showers and lockers. Instruction is excellent and members treat you like family. They have a ladies bjj class and kids classes as well. I came in here super nervous, but the instructor JP welcomed me with a warm smile and patient instruction. It is a safe gym and they rank you as you make progress. Definitely give it a try, they give you a 7 day pass. The memberships are month to month with no annual contracts or scary fine lines. You can cancel anytime or pause your membership.

They increased the price unexpectedly…read moreand then charged me $179 for April even though I had already canceled my subscription on March 30. The training quality does not match the high fees they are charging. It feels unfair to bill students like this, especially when many of us are on tight budgets. Overall, this place feels like a trap -- easy to sign up, but very difficult to get out of without being charged extra. I would not recommend it to anyone looking for transparent pricing or quality training.

I really loved this gym. Has a lot of good equipment. This gym helped me lose over 50 pounds. But…read morethe only problem is the owner. Currently we are required to were masks in the gym. I understand that and I wore my mask pretty much the whole work out. But towards the last few sets I took it off in-between sets, since it got to the point of me finding it very hard to breath. I loved this gym and have also listen to the rules. I never let anyone in, I cleaned up after myself, I even put weights away that others did not and the same with wiping down benches that weren't. I was at a really low point in my life and this gym helped me build my self esteem back up. But the owner is just out right rude and unprofessional. Of course it was my luck that he saw me without my mask on and never caught anyone else, when almost everyone had it below their nose. He came in and in a rude and disrespectful way told me give me your key and leave. So I gave him my key and left. Apparently after I left he was cussing me and my friend out about it and was yelling. That is no way to treat your customers. I was training in fear towards this point being scared he would kick me out and give me no warnings for the smallest mess up. I've seen him border line yelling at two teenagers because one forgot his key fob so his friend let him in. The owner didn't even ask about the situation and said give me your key. The staff there are really amazing and nice people, its just the owner. You don't yell at teenagers and cus your customers out, didn't even give us a warning. He did not even tell us why he just said give me your key and get out. If the owner is replying to this, you should change your habits. You are scaring people away from this gym because of your non professional and anger issues. As a owner you do not cus out your customers, who are teenagers too, and young. I've given over 75$ worth of guest passes to them, convinced friends to join and now I don't get a single warning and he cusses me out. Avoid this gym. One small mess up, not even if you meant too, you will get kicked out. Every person with common sense will know not to cus at their customers and be out right rude and disrespectful.

I've been doing CrossFit for almost 3 years and recently made the decision to switch boxes; it was…read moregetting difficult to make my way into the city to work out every morning, and with my better half in law school every night, I needed a bit more flexibility in my life. CrossFit Catonsville is very close to home, they have a great class schedule (especially for a smaller gym), and kickboxing and yoga are included in their membership! Chris, the owner and head coach, is awesome; I find that his style of coaching is very focused on technique and he has lots of suggestions on how to scale WODs with the goal of getting stronger, not just finishing a workout. I've already PR'd on several lifts in the past month at CFC. Eric and Susan are also fantastic coaches, and I've really benefitted from some of the pointers and suggestions they have made. As anyone who does CrossFit will tell you, the community aspect is what keeps folks coming back for more. The people here are AMAZING and friendly, and I have felt so welcome from the beginning. This is a great box for people who have been doing CrossFit for a while, and an excellent box for beginners. The prices are really fair, and, as previously mentioned, you have a few other options for how to get a good workout in with kickboxing and yoga!

She was very kind and helped talk me through my options and the investment. While $75 is steep in comparison to some of the otherwise more aesthetically pleasing places I've checked out, I love the variety of older school equipment available and the fact that it's lowkey enough for you to build confidence and grow. It is not quite what u saw advertised on their socials (might be their other location) but you weigh your pros and cons. Overall I had a good experience here and I would return.

Can I give more than 5 stars?!…read more The business model is physical therapists are your fitness coaches. Hour long mall group (14 max) classes run from 6am-6pm. An app tells you what the workout will be, and enables you to track your data. We pre-test certain workouts, build strength, mobility, and skill for about 12 weeks, and then re-test those workouts again. Such a solid, motivating way to see progress. Membership includes a monthly 1:1 with a coach/PT. Membership is not cheap, but hey, we're all going to pay for our health in some way at some point; I'd rather invest this way than spend money on insulin or heart surgery. There are various discounts, including couples and annual memberships. Membership also includes 24 hour access to the facility. I have gotten measurably stronger and more fit in the 6 years I've been working out at Recharge. In that time, they supported me through 2 major orthopedic surgeries, COVID, and menopause. Yikes! One of the very best things about Recharge is the community itself. The coaches and athletes are genuine...it's not a "bro" gym, it's not a place where only the coolest kids merit any assistance. I go 4x/week to workout with my friends. We laugh, cry sometimes, and cheer each other on. And yet it's not clique-y. The community is so strong that we now have social gatherings...there's a book club, bourbon tastings, a monthly game night, and more. Just. Do. It.
