While the instructors are knowledgeable, the lack of oversight of young dancers between classes, in break and changing rooms, and generally during downtime borders on malpractice. The culture of bullying that emerged led to dangerous consequences. Even when management was alerted to bullying by several parents, the perpetrators were allowed to continue in the program. Beware: some children are still recovering from the psychological abuse.

Asanga is a great teacher (and dancer!), and the studio is stunning with two walls of windows. Unlike when you take a Zumba class at a gym, there is ample space per student.

Can I give 6 stars, please?!?…read more Z Sweat is my happy place!!! I love that this studio focuses just on Zumba/Zumba toning. Mariela and Nati are hands down the best Zumba instructors I've ever had (and I've taken oh so many Zumba classes!) They are fun, energetic, kind and engaging and truly invested in their students' experiences. The enthusiasm in class is absolutely contagious. They've recently brought on another instructor, Alyona, who is super high energy and fun as well. The choreography and music at Z Sweat are the best. Zumba contributes to better physical and mental wellness- many of us slimming down, getting more fit, and getting major stress relief from class. And getting fit while dancing with your newfound friends is pretty awesome- I know I definitely prefer it to a treadmill! What keeps me coming to Z Sweat, and makes this place so very special, is the sense of community and comradery. So many friendly people and smiles throughout class with a "Zumba high" lasting the whole day long. I always look forward to class at Z Sweat. I would encourage anyone interested to check this studio out. You won't regret it!

Theres people of all ages and demographics here, which i personally love. There was a lady in the front who was super toned and giving 150% and i loved that because it made me want to go harder. There are also elderly people there and that also made me smile :) One thing that I could say wasn't my favorite was the shape of the studio. It is a very skinny rectangle and i was kind of off to the back left so I felt kind of squished (it was not crowded though). I also wasn't the biggest fan of the specific routine that day, but i wont really consider that in my rating. The only other thing is that it seems like a lot of the people there already knew the routine so it was a little hard for me to keep up with the instructor but im honestly not too worried about that because for me the point of zumba is to be active so it doesn't matter if im hitting all the moves right. The classes also are pretty cheap i think, so thats nice. Id definitely come again!

We just had a blast every single lesson. He gave us options for steps and helped us build a dance we were comfortable with, was interesting, and totally customized to our song. He helped us get so comfortable with the steps and, as we got better, gave us tips to improve even more and flourishes to make the dance a bit more engaging for the audience. Having been a part of many weddings, he's full of helpful tips in general for the wedding, like how to walk on and off after the dance, where my husband should go when we transition to father/daughter dance, and to remember to smile especially during the finale. It definitely shows that he has worked with a lot of couples with their wedding dances, but also has officiated weddings himself, so he has so much helpful knowledge! We had so much fun with Michael and wholeheartedly recommend!

He would even record us on our phone so we could practice at home. Very reasonable prices as well. Highly recommend!

I loved the versatility of the group there; clearly, every culture and age was represented, which made it even more fun. This is what the doctor ordered for me since I had been in my head all day about some things. Nina was one of the most encouraging, energetic, and supportive persons for this class. She made you want to push yourself to learn the choreography steps. She also let everyone know not to take themselves seriously and enjoy the dance, which I did by the end of the class. Now, let me say that I always thought I had some moves. But Bollywood challenged me a bit--okay, a lot. I took a video, but it's for my viewing pleasure; sorry. I sent it to my girlfriends so we can book a class with Nina. Whatever you do, please do yourself a favor and book a class or try a free class to see how much fun it is and how much exercise you can get. You will not be sorry.

My last 5-star review for OneLife at Pike & Rose was posted in 2020 shortly after Maryland Gov…read more Larry Hogan lifted the COVID remain-in-place restrictions. Ever since then I have remain a committed member of OneLife at Pike & Rose for a number of reasons: 1. Pike & Rose staff and trainers are awesome! Everyone is willing to help and answer your questions. If you frequent the gym consistently, say 2 or 3 times a week as do I, gym staff and workout buddies will become a positive influence in your life. This helps you want to return to the gym on a regular consistent basis. 2. The outdoor astroturf workout space as well as the natural light throughout the East and South-facing gym always supply good visual energy. I have yet to find a gym with the high quality of natural light Pike & Rose supplies to members. 3. Local manager Skyler and Fitness Director Carolyn listen to members questions and/or concerns. The over all quality of the gym, the efficiency of equipment, the way in which members approach and use the gym are all on Skyler and Carolyn's radar. They may not be able to remedy a situation at any given moment for a number of valid reasons yet they will make a note. And they are always looking for ways to improve our experience at OneLife. Things do change for the better; new equipment arrives and class schedules are adjusted to help members. 4. The personal trainers are awesome! Every single one of them is kind, polite, friendly and approachable. You can always ask them a question or two and if they can't help you, they will direct you to someone who can. Over the years I have worked out with a number of personal trainers and I can guarantee you this: you fitness achievements will increase so long as you stick to it. What ever you are facing as far a personal limitations and/or goals go, your personal trainer will work with you to help you achieve your fitness goals while remaining mindful of any physical constraints that may need extra attention. Over time, the returns on your investment working out with a personal trainer will manifest themselves in a positive way (body, mind & spirit). 5. Lastly, the cleanliness of the gym and locker rooms remains attended to throughout the day. Cleaning staff are great, I enjoy seeing them as well when I work out at Pike & Rose. Keep at it and pace yourself. Slow and steady wins the race!

This gym is nicely constructed and renovated (from a different gym), and offers 2.5hrs of validated garage parking. No pool, but there are so many fantastic amenities and new equipment available, you won't mind. You'll get a warmup in trekking those 3 levels via stairs, but an elevator is readily available for accommodating all accessibility levels. Also, being located in the convenient area of Pike & Rose, there are plenty options to run errands, or grab food. I Highly recommend!
