I'm not a member at Life Time but I've been lucky enough to be a guest here a few times. I've…read morelifted here and most recently, took a vinyasa yoga class. The facility is massive -- it almost feels like a mall. There's a cafe, indoor pool, plenty of fitness areas, and spacious locker rooms. Everything felt very clean here which is a plus. The Sunday 10:45am vinyasa class was advertised as "medium heat" but it barely felt heated. The instructor wasn't my favorite and the flow felt clunky and disorganized. Her queueing wasn't very clear and if I were a newbie yogi, I'd be pretty confused. Most of the class was spent in child's pose or savasana and I would've preferred more time to flow and play. The studio itself is fairly small for the size of the rest of the gym. As a guest recently, I had to download the app in order to get my guest pass which was pretty annoying. I've never seen another gym do that and didn't appreciate the extra hoops to jump through. Overall, if this gym was closer and less expensive I'd consider it but for now, I appreciate the chance to be a guest here.

This location is by far the worst in Maryland. Locker rooms are the only thing decently kept clean…read more(thanks to the wonderful ladies & gentlemen who upkeep it) but the pool area, sauna, and upstairs gym is not worth $250 a month. - The sauna should not be co-ed. It makes absolutely 0 sense to sit in a dry sauna, surrounded by people that don't know any better, sitting in there chlorine drenched swimsuits. Inhaling those fumes IS toxic. I also shouldn't have to sit in the same odor as men in a sauna. The sauna should be separate like it is at most gyms. - I won't blame this on the staff, but the steam shower & showers in the ladies room are always disgusting. The guests that have been coming to this gym the past few years have started to really treat the showers like a public urinal, and the steam showers have noticeable pink mold. It is definitely the guest that lack common sense. - the layout of the gym upstairs is noticeably arranged badly. The music from the classes is sometimes obnoxiously loud, even WITH noise canceling headphones. The lighting is uncomfortably bright. It feels like I'm back in my corporate office with such harsh bright white lights. - this gym is outdated. The outdated interior does not compliment such high monthly rates. The staff is the only good thing in this gym. Some have been working there for over a decade. They are great employees.

Staff is friendly, facility is clean. One frustration is sometimes being abruptly asked to leave a room due to an upcoming class, outside of this love love love this gym. They offer lots of classes, have cleaning wipes and sanitizing sprays for members yo use. They have trainers who offer personal training and also run the classes.

Hey friends! I'm on the hunt for a new gym. Im looking for proximity, amenities and foot traffic…read morelevels. I used their free day pass. First of all, the facility is HUGE. It features a pool & hot tub, pickleball/racquetball/tennis courts, a group fitness room, sauna, a track for walking and TWO levels of fitness equipment. I went on a Tuesday around 11am and it was pretty quiet. I loved that the crowd is mixed age, gender and race. The facility was very clean. I love that there are multiple sanitizer stations as well as clean towels and sanitizer spray available to use. The top level of fitness equipment was more so cardio and a personal training room. Downstairs you can find two sets of free weights, pull up bars, smith machines and so much more. They have a wide range of equipment which I love so there is less of a chance of wait times for equipment. Locker rooms are stocked with complimentary towels and hair dryers. The pool was decent size with about 5 lanes. The hot tub is a great size to space out in. My only distaste is that the locker room and pool are on different levels. The walk to the pool is a little far from the locker room. You have to go down a long hallway and down TWO flights of steps. I can foresee this being annoying especially on leg day lol. I hope you enjoy!

Love the energy at Chiseled + staff. They're so friendly! The gym has a gritty iron house feel…read morewithout the dinginess. It's quite clean, actually. The regulars mind their business (translation: they pass the not-a-creeper test), so as a girl, you're not going to get pounced on as soon as you join. Chiseled is down to earth, vet-friendly , serious about making the gym experience optimal for their members, and the black+red vibe plus motivating quotes on the walls will make you feel like a weight-crushing badass. Grateful for the time I spent here and the people I met!

This gym is honestly a joke. The staff is nice, but that's pretty much where the positives end. The…read moreowner has been promising an "upgrade" to the facilities for the past two months, yet somehow absolutely nothing has changed. At this point, I genuinely have no idea where the membership money is going. The equipment selection is almost comical. They have about 10 variations of the same leg machine, maybe 3 chest machines, and 4 back machines. Apparently quantity matters more than actually having a well-rounded facility. This gym has potential, but the management seems completely incapable of realizing it. It's incredibly mediocre, especially considering what it could be. There's a reason people keep leaving, and it definitely isn't hard to figure out why. Maybe instead of making promises about upgrades, management should actually follow through for once. Lol.

I love this gym. Small but has everything you need! Great atmosphere and it's 24/7 access which is…read moregreat. The room that they host classes in you're free to work out in when no classes are being hosted! It is often times empty so it's nice if you want mirror space and to be away from the other people working out in the main room. Pricing is more than fair and there's always clean bathrooms and fully stocked wipes and cleaning spray to clean your machines. I was going to the Columbia Golds Gym previously until it shut down during COVID and this one while smaller is just as high quality. Bathrooms are always really clean, and the staff is nice. I really love working out here and I highly recommend!

I started my membership here around New Years, prior to the Covid outbreak…read more Today I made my first trip back to the gym since it's reopened and I really couldn't be more disappointed. 1. Machines weren't spaced out at all to a lot for social distancing. 2. An employee checked my temperature at the door and went over the rules with me, but then proceeded to work out himself with no one monitoring the entrance. Nobody was going around cleaning machines -- it was complete honor system. Once the employee finished his work out, he left and nobody was watching the gym at all. 3. They couldn't even be bothered to add more wipe stations so that you don't have to walk half way across the gym to get and throw out a hand wipe. No new wipe stations, no new garbage cans to dispose of them. This encourages you to walk past other gym members. 4. Since nobody was enforcing masks, people regularly had them off. The employee told me you can have it off when lifting or doing cardio, but people were forgetting to put them back on and their cramped layout and lack of wipe stations/disposal bins encouraged people to get close to one another. 5. No signs on the walls about masks, no markers on the floor. 6. While on a cardio machine, I had a guy like 4 feet away from me on an adjacent machine not wearing a mask because he was working out. 7. When I came in, they told me that they purchased hand sanitizer. They pretty much bought 3 big push bottles of hand sanitizer, but they couldn't even be bothered to space them out on opposite sides of the gym. 2 of the 3 were on the counter at the entryway and the other one was by the Cardio equipment -- again ensuring that you have to walk past people to sanitize your hands. The only things that they've done that are positive: They closed the locker rooms with the exception of being able to use the bathrooms and told guests not to use the water fountains. They had the employee check my temperature, but since he was off working out himself it was easy for people to sneak by (also since he left early). I called the mainline from the parking lot and expressed my concerns and the guy on the phone was nice enough and told me that if I didn't feel safe I could suspend my membership for 6 months, which he said that he would do for me. He told me that they were going to get signs and filters etc next week. But, truth be told, that just made me angry because they obviously weren't ready to reopen and did anyway. I can't believe this was the best they could come up with after having 3 months to think about how to safely reopen. I told them that I would monitor their Facebook page and may come back when they've made positive changes, but upon thinking about it more, it really angered me how lightly they are taking customer safety. With about $500 they could have gone from 1 out of 10 in terms of Covid safety to at least a 4-10. It's either laziness, incompetence or apathy. I intend on looking for a new gym this weekend that's taking proper safety measures.

I wanted to wait a little before writing this review. I signed up a few weeks ago and this gym…read moreprovides incredible value for what you pay. It has major equipment one would need to reach their fitness goals. Huge value in a low cost: I've been a member of many of the larger gyms where you pay skyrocket prices, however I just don't need all of the extra services that those gyms offer, especially at the rates being offered. At this gym I use the free weights, boxing bags, battle ropes, pull up rope, core station, open mat area, basketball net, cardio equipment, showers, and sauna. It's an incredible value as I've found it to be under $40/month, and sometimes less if you pay for the year upfront or utilize their ongoing deals. 24 hour availability: A huge benefit is it being available 24 hours. I find this to be a peace of mind as I occasionally will need after hour access due to my limited schedule during the day. This is almost unheard at many other smaller gyms and at this rate. Quick facts: -Towels are provided (but can run out quickly during busy times), it may be a good idea to pack one as a backup just in case -Yoga mats are available for usage outside of class times -The basketball net is probably not for more serious players as the roof is low and some angles require a low shot or you'll hit the beams of the roof. Probably meant for just casual shooting around. -bring your own locks, the lockers don't have their own locks. -there are short and long lockers available, the long lockers are big enough to fit your gym bag most of the time -saunas are in each locker room, so no mixed gender saunas (a plus for those with religious sensitivities)

One of my favorite gyms in the area! For only $50 a month, you get a 24/7 gym stocked with all the…read moreequipment you need (sled, barbells, dumbbells, cardio equipment, foam rollers, etc.) as well as a sauna. Never too busy so you are always able to get your workout done. I really think this is a great value.

As a Black Card member, I like to bounce around and check out different Planet Fitness locations. I…read morevisited the Columbia gym for the first time this morning during my normal gym time. It has your typical PF layout and all the machines I wanted to use were working. One big plus was that it wasn't too crowded, which is always nice. They had plenty of spray and towels available, and I did see people actively wiping down their machines after use. However, a few things missed the mark for me. The equipment is a bit dated, the ellipticals I was using seemed like much older models, so it doesn't look like they've updated this location recently. Also, while everything in the bathroom area was working, the floors and shower tiles could have been a lot cleaner, especially considering it was still early in the morning. They might need to strip those shower tiles or do a deeper clean. Overall, it's an okay spot, but nothing really stood out to me. Because of the dated equipment and the locker room cleanliness, it wouldn't be my first choice. I don't think I'd make a special trip to go back to this particular location over others in the area.

All the night shift staff are wonderful! they put pride and joy into keeping the gym very clean! i…read morealmost doesn't even smell like a gym that's how spotless it is! my only thing keeping it at 4 stars is the lack of equipment. i wish there was most variety like pasadena has. example, for the glutes and legs.
