Great music combined with awesome fitness & dance moves makes for a fantastic class where you don't feel like you're working out. I drive about an hour every Tuesday just to come to this class. I can't speak on any of the other classes they offer here, but if it's anything like the Zumba class, then you can't go wrong.

Kwame (owner) was the instructor for the class and he is awesome! he immediately recognized i was new and introduced himself personally to me. despite it being a group class, i noticed the individual attention he gave me; helping me with technique and form. at the end of the class he explained some of the membership options and was not a pushy salesman at all! this place has everything you need for an amazing workout and highly recommend!

As someone who has zero motivation to work out on my own and a great need to be pushed through…read moreworkouts, I have found Ray to be a great fit for my needs. He is knowledgeable, focused, patient, motivated, and flexible. He knows what it takes to get results and demands his clients put in the necessary effort to make that happen. And he doesn't disappoint! After working out for the first time in my life, for a consistent three months, I feel better than ever before. I see the changes in myself, both mental and physical, and it's a truly amazing feeling.

My wife just started training here. I thought I'd come with to watch her exercise. We're both…read moreseniors - she has a herniated disc and I have a hip replaced and some heart conditions. I followed my wife in and sat down. One of the trainers glared at me... Took his attention off his clients performing exercises for about 30 seconds. Don't care I'm there for my wife. I'm still watching my wife and this trainer is still staring, but this time he's 6 feet in front of me. I don't know what this guy's problem is so I wave and smile. He mumbles something and walks away. This place advertises itself as a friendly environment. What I experienced made me feel very uncomfortable for me, and I wonder if he:s doing the same to my wife and other seniors. Later I found out his name was Tim Payne. This place isn't the largest, or the closest, and their equipment is very limited. There's friendlier, better equipped places in Columbia and Ellicott City for seniors to try. I don't know why some people try to bully seniors like we're second class citizens. Maybe it's because he noticed a limp and thought I was an easy target. Too bad. I'd like to strengthen my hip and core, and maybe preserve a little flexibility as I enter my golden years. Someplace friendly that won't mistreat older folk. Someplace else

I really, really wanted to love this location of YMCA for its gym, but I just don't. The parking…read morelot is always jammed packed, the equipment has seen better days, and there's always at least 2 treadmills shutdown for service. Once I was on one and it glitched on me going from 3.6 speed to 6! Anyway, if that wasn't enough there's virtually no space and you may bump into people on equipment (dangerous). The locker room smells and the classes are always full. Sure if you want a lesser expensive gym w a sauna, maybe you could forgive all of those issues, but for me it's just not it. I will say the customer service is phenomenal. Everyone who works there surely make up for the lackluster gym experience.

We have tried some of the classes (all free) and I have to say this is a great gym. It was clean and it does get a lot of traffic.
