So I recently quit my old gym and decided to sign up for Brick Bodies again. The facility is small…read morebut well maintained with a decently equipped weight room and tons of treadmills, stair masters, and ellipticals. One of my biggest complaints about my old gym was that it didn't have nearly enough treadmills for the size of the facility so I was often waiting for someone to leave at peak hours. This has never been an issue at Brick Bodies. I also love that the cycling room is typically open and available for use even if there's no class going on. The locker rooms are oftentimes clean and I love the lockers with built in locks -- no need to bring your own! I don't do any of the classes here anymore (mainly because I'm also a CorePower member and prefer their classes) but they offer a wide array for different skill levels. I took one barre class here but wasn't a fan of the instructor and the pace of the class wasn't intense enough for me. I would love to see towel service be introduced here. When I joined back in 2021 I thought the lack of towels was a Covid-era, thing but fast forward to 2026 and they still don't provide any. It's $50 a month ($25 every two weeks) making it a more affordable option compared to my previous gym.

Using Class Pass, this was my first time ever taking a reformer class so I chose the Reformer Flow I because I wasn't sure how it would go. The instructor definitely helped me figure out the equipment and adjusted my form during the class. I felt like I got a good stretch but it wasn't too much of a workout. I guess next time I would have to choose a more challenging class, so just a heads up if you are already quite active at baseline. At least for the class I took, it was calm and low impact, which can be great for active recovery. Also this studio is great for COVID since the reformers are spaced out and there are few people/class.

Kristy and Jodie are amazing Pilates instructors and extremely welcoming to all skill levels. While I had taken several Pilates classes before, I had not used a Pilates reformer until first visiting Embody Pilates & Wellness in 2018 - I might have been the only one in my first class who had zero reformer experience. Instructing a class with a wide variety of experience can be challenging, but Kristy and Jodie do it with ease and seamlessly offer modifications to make each portion of the class accessible to anyone. Easily Baltimore's best!

I try to go to all the classes she teaches because not only is she kicking my butt and making me the strongest I've ever been, there's just something about her that is so soothing to my brain. She's always excited to see you and she is so encouraging during the workout. It will be the toughest workout but somehow she makes it not seem so bad. It helps that she is either doing the entire workout with you or demonstrating so you know exactly what to do. I can't sing her praises enough! Definitely go to her if you're new to barre (or a pro at barre!). I use the "mind body" app to schedule all my classes (or just go to their website).

I actually just concluded my Executive MBA program at Loyola and it was by far the best decision I…read morehave ever made for myself. My program was based on 6 hours of class work each Saturday, and it was group based learning with teams of 4-5 experienced professionals. What I Liked: - A few of the professors were exceptional, in the sense that they completely changed the way I think through certain business decisions - The facilities were great, with as many resources as a graduate student could need (from wi-fi to 24-hour study/work stations) - Relevant variety of coursework, applicable to my personal work environment and role(s) - Emphasis on experiential learning, traveled to South America (Chile and Argentina), as well as Gettysburg and NYC (got to interview traders on the NYSE floor) - Professional peers complimented my learning experience, working alongside experts in different industries (institutional investment, energy management, information technology, etc.) - All-inclusive price, costing $XYZ and nothing more, as priced from day 1 (remember, this was a 2.5 year program), making it easy to save and pay for - Alumni network is very active and supportive, already being invited to events and establishing some new professional connections - Dean Leggio has shaken my hand many times, as she is very present and available Things I Didn't Like: - Diversity was lacking from a gender perspective, but other MBA groupings had better balance; I'll assume it was an anomaly to be in an unbalanced classroom with only 2 women - A handful of professors weren't comfortable or ready for graduate students (we tend to question concepts more critically, rather than blindly accept a professors ideas without healthy resistance), but they were still somewhat effective in the sense that they were introducing concepts I was ignorant to prior Ultimately, since graduating I have had 3 interviews for positions I would have never been considered for without an MBA. All three of the interviewing organizations have a large Loyola degree population, or were opportunities introduced to me by someone within the Loyola network. Additionally, all of these jobs represented a possible 30-50% increase in pay compared to what I make now. I'm still in the process of 2nd interviews, so we will see how it goes. Despite the various opinions about the quality and effectiveness of this program, education is like a sword. It's abilities are limited to whomever is holding it. For me, I can already see real evidence that I can carve some new opportunities for myself while enhancing my performance and earnings. I don't know of any other more appropriate way to measure the impact of an MBA degree from a leading university. It was a great school and Loyola did a strong job.

I am currently in graduate school completing my Masters of Arts in Teaching (Secondary, Biology) so…read moreI will refrain from commenting on the program and academics. The Evergreen campus itself is small but also quite beautiful in the varying seasons. The admissions building is a beautiful Victorian style home surrounded by a big quad and varying buildings. The grounds seem to be well maintained. The athletic center with the pool (the FAC) is also kept up well. The biggest complaint I have as a commuter and a visitor is the parking. There is basically no on-campus parking. The visitor lot is expensive and small -- often times it is reserved for different athletic and academic events on campus. You can try nearby side streets but there are times when nobody is allowed to park there, which tend to coincide with the end of undergrad classes and the beginning of grad classes. There are shuttles to locations like the FAC and the cathedral of Mary, Our Queen, but the shuttle is slow and unreliable. The graduate campuses at Timonium and Columbia have huge parking lots with enough room for everyone. If you want to visit, invest in an Uber or be willing to circle around for a while to park. Or you can pay for the Jenkins visitor lot. Your choice!

But I'm back, and they have new equipment! Yay! I didn't feel like anything was wrong (except for the SkiErg that keeps breaking.

They also added a glute builder machine. It's not a version I've used before, but it'll do. Lastly, I always finish with time in the sauna. It's always nice & hot.
