I wanted to give this a couple months before I posted a review…read more.. I found this gym after looking for something a bit more structured post-Covid. 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...

This gym is exactly what I've been looking for. A facility that I won't get lost in. Trainers that…read moreare skilled to know when to modify the workout to meet your skill level or accommodate the knee, shoulder, or back issues and you still get a good solid workout. 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!

Golds Gym has everything you need. Free weights, machines, cardio equipment, it's all there…read more Whether you're lifting, doing cardio, or just getting back into a routine, you can make it work here. The space is decent and laid out in a way that makes sense. Depending on the time of day, it can get busy, but I'm usually still able to get through my workout without too much waiting. It's a good mix of people too. You've got beginners, regulars, and people who are really serious about training, but it doesn't feel intimidating. Everybody is just focused on their own thing. The gym is kept up pretty well. Not perfect, but clean enough where it's comfortable to work out. Staff is cool. They're there if you need something, but they're not in your face, which I prefer. Only downside is peak hours can get crowded, especially around after work hours, so you might have to adjust your timing if you want a smoother workout. Overall, it's a reliable gym. Nothing over the top, but it has everything you need to stay on track and get results. Definitely a solid choice if you're in the area.

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. You will NOT be disappointed!! - Holly P

Although the facility appears much larger in the website photos and videos, it was smaller than expected. However, I was really excited about the experience. Prior to the free class, the staff member provided a comprehensive tour of the facility that included information about the benefits of infrared technology and fitness. The keyless entry location features 24/7 accessibility. As for the workouts, each workout station includes virtual instruction. My favorite was the cycling station. The rooms are compact and blazingly hot, but heat-adjustable. For this reason, I could not imagine being in the enclosed compartments with two other people. The facility not only features the HIIT workouts, hot-cycle, hot-thunder, and hot-blast, but also Isometric workouts such as hot-iso, hot-pilates, and hot-yoga. There is also a small workout area in the back featuring free weights. Smith machine and TRX bands. There are two bathrooms featuring glass showers. They also feature brand merchandise at the front. Overall, the location was clean. The workout rooms were clean, and the bathrooms were clean and well-stocked. Again, I think it is an interesting concept with some amazing results and benefit claims.

They offer 24/7 access which is also great. Maury took care of me for my complimentary class. I took the Hot Barre None. It was a good 30 min session. It's nice and clean in there as well which is what I love the most since Saunas are involved. It doesn't smell sweaty or anything. I love that they also have a weight area if you want to do some strength training. The membership price $59 is a steal for unlimited classes. I can't wait to return and try more classes. It's so many to choose from since there are 6 rooms; some have workout machines. The instructors are virtual on the screen. I highly recommend everyone try it out. It is low impact and totally worth it.

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.

I love that there are no mirrors and you can just let go and work out without getting distracted by how you look. Don't worry, the trainers will ensure your form is on point.

The people you work out are with are so supportive. Non-judgmental, morale-boosting, motivating, consistently on point, 100 % WORTH THE INVESTMENT!

I moved to Maryland and was looking for a personal trainer, when I stumbled upon Thrive. I emailed for information and Coach Josh got right back to me. He told me to come in and try a class. He thought I would enjoy their class style and get the same benefits, without the high cost of personal training. He was so right! I was immediately welcomed into the gym by the coaches and other members, who are now friends! The atmosphere is encouraging (high fives are required), inspiring (there is a daily motivational message/story) and fun. They mix up the workouts daily so you never get bored and there are always challenges, where healthy competition keeps you motivated. They even do bonus workouts where you can donate to support the community and different charities! Class times vary and with a busy work schedule I love the 5am class, but there truly is something for everyone! I am so lucky to have found Thrive and that I have found a place that makes working out an enjoyable beginning to everyday!

Many customers in the lobby complained that they have not had good experiences with him. As soon as I came out of the door to the class, they decided to rush me about a groupon. Though the instructor there saw it and I sent the screenshot to the owner, he stated I could file a complaint as it's Groupon's fault for allowing me to purchase another one.. the FINE print does NOT say only 1 could be purchased! In fact, it has a large " Buy It Again" on the Groupon! Also, I don't believe they clean the floors at all in between classes, as I arrived when people were coming out and we could just straight in and set up. If you're a beginner to yoga, you'll definitely want to set up in the back where you can watch the more experienced people to know what to do. The instructor does do a good job talking through the poses, though doesn't necessarily demonstrate. Still great talking through what to do!
