Bowie Fit Body Boot Camp aka team Darryl and Zoe, has changed my way of keeping fit. I have a…read moredifferent ability, my mobility is a bit challenged. I eat healthy. I am a petite woman. Now, some may think, "what's the problem?" Well, small people have there own body goals. I was in my own right overweight. Darryl and Zoe helped to reformat my eating habits as well as my fitness habits. As a mom of two, I was inconsistent in what I ate, how I ate, and yes, when I ate. Also, the inconsistency of working out. Once I began the 6 week challenge, I refused to eat what I fixed for my little ones, and even stopped eating their "left behinds". I focused on me, made the weekly meals, started my day at dusk with FBBCBowie. I was on a mission. And when I saw the results of body fat loss, the slimming of my hips, thighs and abs, and the increase of lean muscle and strength, I was amazed. For all of that, thank you Darryl and Zoe for reshaping me mind, and body. You two Rock! #ilovemesomeFBBCBowieandDarrylandZoe #FBBCWarrior‍

Community: 5 Instructors: 5…read moreWorkouts: 5 Communication: 4.5 My 6 week challenge ended this week and overall I really enjoyed the experience. FLMD popped up on my Instagram timeline as a free 6 week challenge - so bet I was there. There is a consultation, weigh in, and tour. I met with Nevie the gym owner who explained that the challenge is free after you invest in yourself for an undisclosed about. You meet the challenge and you get your money back. I didn't have anything to lose so I joined. I must admit that Nevie worked to figure out why I was not getting the weekly emails and meal plans. So if joined through any META platform (Instagram/Facebook) the emails will be sent to that registered email address. Things that were not transparent to me were: the class schedule not being readily available, the link to view the workouts online so I could join from home, who I should report my weekly weight. KEY TAKE AWAYS: I lost 7lbs my first week!! Drop in classes are $30

I have lost 10 lbs, inches upon inches, and let's not forget about that good ole' fat loss! I am fitting into clothes that were pushed into the back of the closet, my energy level is up, and I have gained a true sense of accountability on myself! I don't look for someone else to hold me accountable I am doing that on my own now. Every single day of the challenge, our awesome instructor Nevie sends you daily affirmations filled with tips that will help you to keep pushing. We also receive a weekly meal plan and recipe guide that has been instrumental in helping me stay on track. I have found my "hobby" and the journey is just getting started lol... if you are looking for a workout that challenges you; a tribe of women that encourage and support you; and a morning or evening of just fun and laughs while working out... then you need to run and sign up with Fit Like Me Divas in Crofton, MD.

Trainers that care about getting you to your goals!…read more I've been a lifelong on/off gym member and never could really follow through. 10 months ago I joined Elite Technique and its the first time I've gotten real results. It's because the trainers are motivational and really keep you accountable. Coach Nigel is super responsive and really pushes me to the next level. Through the highs and lows, he really adapts our training to match me. The community is super fun too-- Katrina, Coach Gary, Yaire, Gabe all bring such good energy. The fitcamps on Saturday's are a lot of fun and help keep you in the right mindset through the weekends and keeps you motivated. Highly recommend!

I found the organization on Yelp and went to the @elite_technique instagram website and was immediately amazed by the results being shown. This was all I needed to see to convince me that this was place that I needed to join. I contacted Elite Technique via Yelp to establish my membership, in addition to asking any other pertinent questions and obtaining necessary details. You have the option of going to five days a week and an extra day of Saturday Morning Bootcamp is included. The sessions are normally thirty minutes (more so HIIT style) workouts that consists of specific plans for your specific goal. Elite Technique also provides meal plans, in which you can reach out to your trainer for motivation in remaining consistent. Each trainer is assigned one to two clients per session to ensure Social Distancing guidelines are followed. Everyone in the gym must also bring a large towel to cover equipment, in addition to wearing gloves that cover your entire hand. Elite Technique is constantly being cleaned by the trainers with disinfectant wipes/spray during and after the use of equipment. I was assigned Miguel as a trainer. Miguel pushes me and I really appreciate him for that. To be honest, all of the trainers are very friendly and motivating. Deciding to attend Elite Technique will be an amazing choice for anyone that needs assistance on their fitness journey.

The regular peloton cardio and Planet Fitness just wasn't getting me where I wanna go. This place has been fantastic so far. As someone who has never really lifted weights, the trainers and owner has been fantastic at instructing the correct way to lift. They have two major programs as well as an open gym option. The programs are led by a trainer, one being team training, one being small group training. If you have not been working out lately, you will leave gassed. You will be sore. The workouts are about an hour long. I have been going about 3-4 days a week which has given me enough time to recover between workouts. Bring a towel and water bottle, my first workout was free. They do have shower facilities if you are coming from or going to work. And bonus... the showers are clean. The folks I have met here have been super friendly and welcoming. Ownership has also been very welcoming and motivating. If your looking for a new place to workout, definitely check these guys out... so far I am very happy I did...

I started in the Lean Down Challenge a 6 week program/20 lbs. I get to attend all the boot camps I want and have a small group personal training session once per week. I felt at ease as soon as I walked in the door. The boot camps are available daily. The trainers are extremely personable. I admit I love to hate them during my workouts but I feel so good a little bit after they end. Mac, Emily, and Bill are fantastic! I'm down 6 lbs, feel stronger and surprised myself by accomplishing some of the exercises I never thought I could do. I just started my 3rd week looking forward to meeting more goals I've set for myself. I've finally found a gym home. It's never too late to live your best life. I'm on my way!. Thanks guys!

He brings so much energy to every class, and leverages a wealth of personal/professional experience to teach us how to be holistically better. I literally learn something new each class and he has inspired me to share my passion with the world as a personal trainer. And, to top it all off, ever since I started working with Darelle a few years ago, I have gotten so much stronger. When we met, I was fresh off of a severe leg injury and could barely squat...he taught me how to gradually develop strength and mobility through a variety exercises and now I'm better than ever!

He is very encouraging when he is leading a class with comments such as "You can do this for 1 minute." Or "Keep going you only have 30 seconds left." He reminds everyone to keep breathing.

The studio is clean and the equipment is in good shape. I highly recommend OohRah Fitness for anyone at any level of fitness.

I started coming to the gym Jan 2023 at 20% bodyfat. Didn't know a single person at the gym but was looking for a gym nearby where I live that I could go to consistently. 9 months later, I made my bodybuilding debut with OCB under Kenny and Ali's guidance. I had found a place with a great community and that was black owned. Outside of the trainers, those that attend the gym often contributed to my rapid advancement in the gym. The discipline and level that I was pushed in the gym by Kenny and Ali contributed to all areas of my life as well, especially in the workplace doubling my salary in 2023 compared to 2022. There are so many benefits that being a member of HIT FIT provides outside of just fitness. At Hit Fit, I believe anyone can reach their goals from the beginner level to advanced powerlifting/bodybuilding/pro athletes. They have classes from HIIT, boxing, basketball, bodybuilding, and powerlifting to name a few. I'm a big believer in "you can't be what you can't see" and I believe Kenny, Ali, and the HIT FIT community have built a special community. Would highly recommend.

There are a several benches and at least two full sets of dumbbells. On my first visit there was a tear in the flooring and my foot snagged on the tear. On my next visit maintenance was there repairing it. I'm in the gym at least 3x weekly. I was impressed by how quickly I saw this got handled, though I really don't actually know how long it had been damaged. They have an abundance of weightlifting equipment. And they have a ton of cardio machines. Their massage chairs and hydromassages are inferior compared to other gyms. The folks at the front desk are very nice and easy to work with, above and beyond even.
