I loved this gym initially and have been coming here a long time. Somehow along the way, after some…read moredisappointing experiences with their personal trainers, the vibe has changed. It no longer feels as warm or welcoming, which is unfortunate. It is also too small to really continue serving my needs. Too much wait for equipment, gets very crowded upstairs especially when much of the usable space is being occupied by an obnoxiously loud class. You will get tired of hearing the same music on repeat if you come here often. I suggest earbuds and your own playlists. Also, they recently raised the prices and it just isn't worth it anymore. I recently put in my 30 days for cancelation and my husband will be following suit as he doesn't use it often enough to justify the continued cost.

I started going to the Fed Hill studio after they opened a few years ago as it was closer than the Harbor East studio (which honestly was my favorite in Baltimore). The demographic of the Fed Hill studio leans a little younger, but everyone is generally friendly. I see less diversity of age and ethnicity at the Fed Hill studio, but that has more to do with location. The music here isn't my favorite, but the coaches always seem open to feedback and suggestions. I've noticed that they're making an effort to increase engagement by adding different themes and events, which is great. Overall, I'd recommend this studio if you're in the area.

I'm talking throw me into the mouth of a fire breathing dragon, allow me to suffer a bit, sometimes tease me with a breath of fresh air, allow me to continue melting, and throw some positivity in to keep me from completely sputtering out. Thankfully, Breathing Dragon lives up to its name. This delightful hot yoga studio, which was converted from a core power yoga studio, has everything I need to be happily at home. Breathing Dragon IS absolutely hot. While a hot yoga room is ideal, teaching is VERY important to me. Mori, the owner, is exceptional!!! She is, what I would refer to in the yoga world, a Master Teacher. She is extremely knowledgable about the body, the yoga practice, has over 20 years of teaching experience, and radiates positive energy. She has funny jokes, inspiring quotes, and advanced corrections which is particularly important to someone like me who has almost 22 years of yoga practice. She walks around with a ruler, ensures proper alignment, and provided me with hands on corrections, which I just adore. Thank you, Mori. Her rays of sunshine alleviated (some of) my suffering - after all, I chose to practice in the hottest spot in the room (far left when facing the mirror). Mori did kindly advise me of that spot, but I love a challenge. Let me say, Mori's class is a pleasant challenge. I have practiced at 100s of studios around the US and other countries. I have very high standards. Mori meets Every Single One of them. Would I practice here again? Absolutely. The studio has showers, lockers (bring your own lock), towels/mats for rent, and cubby holes for shoes at the door. Mori of Breathing Dragon has fostered a beautiful community of welcoming practitioners. If you move to downtown Baltimore or just passing through and want to make friends or just simply meet quality humans, practice at Breathing Dragon.

From the start, they did a great job making me feel prepared and welcomed. They provided clear, helpful information about what to expect as a first-timer and even what to bring--details that can make a big difference when you're new and unsure. This information is on their website but I also called ahead of time to verify. The studio itself is clean, fresh, and modern--an inviting space that feels great to work out in. The staff are quite kind, friendly, and well-organized. I appreciate how attentive and helpful they were during class. They gently stepped in with guidance when needed in a way that felt supportive --something I really appreciated. I've now taken two classes here: a reformer class and a hot Pilates class. Both were enjoyable in totally different ways, and I'd highly recommend trying both to see what works for you. Personally, I found a new joy with the reformer--it's such a unique and effective workout. But I also enjoyed the hot room, which offered an amazing sweat session and left me feeling less tense and well stretched from all the good blood flow. I'm so glad I started my Pilates journey here, and I definitely hope to return for more classes in the future!

It can be pretty difficult to snag a spot but when you do, Marcie provides a great class. The studio is small yet beautiful and peaceful. They also just added a mat pilates class on Sundays at 1pm, led by Marcie as well. I've only taken it once and I enjoyed it. It's not as challenging of a class as the heated power yoga but I still liked it. I could even see myself taking the heated power yoga and the pilates back to back if my schedule permits. They recently rearranged the weight lifting area so there's a more spacious stretching area and the turf area is reserved for more turf-centric activities. I can't wait until the pool opens later this year! It's definitely worth the $111 monthly fee, which is more expensive than other gyms in the area but you get a ton of access to great instructors and amenities.
