Shady financial practices. Had a membership for years and canceled it for Covid. Six months later,…read morethey started charging my card again, by their mistake, and it went unnoticed for a long time. They did a partial refund but stiffed me still for over $1000. Some advice, if you're going to give your credit card to a company that practices like this, is to make sure you block them with your credit card company after your membership is up. ( the following is a reply to the reply from one life) Hi Kelly, I think it might be wise to get some facts straight before you reply. Your regional manager never "explained" anything. After looking through the internal notes of the account, the general manager thought I should be refunded. But he could not authorize such a large refund and had to kick it up the chain to the regional manager. After many attempts, the regional manager essentially ignored the flagged requests from the general manager. So please, do your due diligence and look through the internal notes on the account. I don't judge a company by the mistakes they make, but how they fix them.

Great gym! Had to move away from Frederick so I'm switching to another location but my time with…read morethe South Frederick location was great. In the time I was there, they opened up several new rooms in the gym, including more benches, racks, and deadlifting platforms. They also seemed responsive to their member surveys and it seemed like my suggestions for improvement were actually taken into account based on the changes I observed. I typically went during the mornings and found that I rarely had to wait for equipment, which is always a plus. Better experience here than most gyms I have been to.

I've been to a lot of Pilates studios, and this one truly tops the charts! The Hot Sculpt class is…read morehands down the best I've ever taken. It was well-paced, and challenging. What really sets this studio apart is the hospitality and attention to detail. It's the little things that elevate the entire experience, the high-quality products in the bathroom, the lavender cold towel after a hot class, and even complimentary coffee and water. You can tell they've thoughtfully designed every part of the experience for their guests. If you're looking for a Pilates studio that combines a great workout with outstanding hospitality, this is it.

If you were planning to do any serious swimming, this isn't the place, especially not for the cost…read more The university has no swim team but to draw new enrollment allows the local high schools to use the pool for practice during peak hours every day -- even closing two hours early one day, packing the schedule for other teams and exercise groups. You won't be able to ever have a consistent schedule and will be waiting for open lanes.

The YMCA is the only place I know that cancels swimming when it thunderstorms and it's beyond…read moreridiculous. What's the point of paying for swim lesson if they keep canceling class and they only allow you to make up one class between sessions. The staff in the reception area can't tell you if there will be make up classes. The coach who teaches the class can't confirm. They all direct you to the swim director. There should be some better communication there.

I'm a senior whose been a member here for years but in recent weeks have been confronted with…read moreaggressive and unkind staff at the front desk questioning my membership despite being up-to date with my payments and never behind. I am ending my membership as I fear entry into this facility. It is sad and unfathomable that the YMCA appears unable to hire staff with simple customer service skills. I have been intimidated into quitting. It's not worth the stress.

Sol is as good as it gets. To preface, I've been practicing (and just recently got RYT-200…read morecertified) for 10+ years. Having been to many studios over the years, I've become quite discerning. Yoga isn't cheap and I'm picky about where I practice yoga for that reason. Much of my practice takes place at home but that's about to change now that I moved to Frederick. Stopped in over the weekend to give Sol a try and purchased the 2-week new student special for $25. I've taken two classes already, gentle yoga and a vinyasa flow (all levels). Wonderful vibe, excellent instructors, tons of class offerings/workshops and reasonable prices. They offer all sorts of options; if you're not interested in packages you can drop in and they offer discounted rates for some of their classes, just check the schedule. You can pay online or in person. I love that they offer complementary hot tea, by local tea shop Voila which is only minutes down the road. I've reviewed them as well (5 stars.. amazing tea). Not only am I so happy to now be living in Frederick, but the icing on the cake is that I have a wonderful yoga studio I can come to all the time to help me sustain my personal practice. Helpful tip: there's a parking lot in the back, it's on the left side of Patrick St right before you get to Sol. It's free :)

I've been coming here for pre-natal yoga classes and so far, I really like the instructors and…read moreclasses. I'd never done yoga before but I figured pre-natal classes wouldn't be too hard since we fatsos can't move too quickly. Well, the instructors make sure you move and change poses carefully but that doesn't mean you don't get a workout! Particularly after Keri's class, I left with sore muscles and feeling like I'd had my first real workout in months! The front desk staff is very friendly and you can rent mats or buy water there. They also offer tea, which is a nice touch. If you're worried about your class filling up, making resevations via the online system is a breeze. I don't have other studios to compare Sol Yoga to but the rooms are large so that people aren't jammed in next to each other. The building also has its own parking lot in back which is almost unheard of in downtown Frederick. Namaste!

Can't recommend Dave at Brunswick Fit Squad enough. What makes him different is how much he focuses…read moreon education -- not just pushing you through a workout. He breaks things down in a way that makes sense, whether it's proper form, how to avoid injury, or how to build strength over time. He's also incredibly supportive and keeps things real -- no gimmicks, just smart, effective training. The workouts are personalized, challenging, and actually fun (which I didn't think was possible before this). The biggest difference for me? I don't just feel stronger -- I actually understand what I'm doing now, and that's made all the difference.

I searched on fb events to find something for our family to do. I discovered the Adaptive Slo Flo…read moreYoga at Yogamour. I purchased tickets for us at $20 each, which is already a great deal. The location was easy to find. We didn't bring yoga mats but they had plenty for us to use. Bonnie Abbott was the instructor and I can't say enough positive things about her. I've torn/destroyed my ACL and meniscus and she was so helpful at giving me alternate exercises. Kareem and Nick enjoyed it as well! I HIGHLY recommend Bonnie and the Adaptive Slo Flo Yoga at Yogamour. Here is Bonnie's background provided on their site: Bonnie Abbott, E-RYT 500, is a trauma-informed yoga teacher passionate about creating safe, supportive spaces while also offering dynamic and accessible yoga classes for people of all body types and abilities. Her approach is rooted in compassion, connection, and making yoga accessible to everyone. Bonnie specializes in working with individuals who have experienced trauma, including sexual assault, domestic violence, and substance abuse. Bonnie has also been teaching children in multiple settings since 2005, and kids yoga specifically since 2019. Bonnie also provides practical, engaging education on nervous system regulation to schools, daycares, and community organizations.

I purchased two tickets for a "sound bath" workshop, intending it as a thoughtful birthday gift…read more Based on the description (which is now unavailable), we expected a calming, meditative experience with sound bowls--something relaxing and grounding. Unfortunately, the actual workshop was the complete opposite. It involved expressive dance, chanting, and movement that felt far outside the scope of what was advertised. It wasn't at all what we signed up for, and we weren't the only ones who felt this way--another attendee left before we did and confirmed that the description hadn't aligned with the experience. Even before the workshop, communication with Yogamour was disorganized and frustrating. I tried for months to confirm workshop details. The first number I called turned out to belong to someone currently teaching abroad, and though I left a detailed voicemail, I never received a response. I only learned they were out of the country after calling a second number listed on the site. That person gave me an email contact, but I never received a reply from them either--something that would be unacceptable in most professional environments. I even made a trip to the Yogamour location in Frederick in hopes of speaking with someone in person. After waiting for a class to end, I was ultimately told to "check the website," which felt dismissive and unhelpful. Despite all that, I still proceeded because the person I was buying this for really wanted to try it. We visited the website together and chose what we believed was the right session. But when the workshop finally happened on May 18, 2025, it was simply not what was described. We stayed for about an hour out of the scheduled two, giving it a fair chance before leaving--disappointed and frankly, a bit frustrated. I would not recommend Yogamour based on this experience. Communication was poor, follow-up was nonexistent, and the actual workshop did not match what was advertised. I hope this review prompts the team to reconsider how they handle both customer inquiries and workshop descriptions. At the very least, I'd appreciate some form of acknowledgment or consideration for the experience we had--and the time and effort put into trying to make it special for someone else. (Workshop was on May 18, 2025)

I have been training at Key Pilates consistently for 7 weeks (2x a week) and I don't know how I lived this long without it. It has definitely helped improve the way that I move, walk, and run. With each class, I feel my core and glutes getting stronger, and my body becoming more flexible. I could go on and on. The atmosphere is welcoming. The vibe is fun. Lauren and Tony are so supportive and super knowledgeable. The work is challenging and beyond rewarding. I really don't know what else you could ask for in a Pilates studio.
