Well, here I am, I am back again to write another review. This place deserves all the continued…read morePraise . I started Fitness Together in the dead of winter in 2022. The beginning of a year and my new path. After being divorced and out of shape from 6 years of care to others, it was time for care for me. Adian was my first trainer and awoken the joy buried deep inside. I got to a place of acceptance and strength with my body. Which I went over in my first review, the amount of growth and joy I experienced. I had reached a stable point and had to leave until I could dig for more gold to one day return. In the dead of winter, I arose once again, I said, I would be back, and I was. This time with Marques as my new guild in my next phase of life. Marques started with goals, but not just physical goals. He set up mental and spiritual growth. I was asked to make a goal that impacted my life. I said, "I wanted to be stable, financially secure, get out of debt, work on my body where I can use my left ,I have cerebral palsy) as well as my right. I wanted the goal of balancing my outer world and inner world. I was blessed with magic! As the months passed, Not only did I become stronger in my body, but step by step, I got a new job, started to learn how to budget, kicked a shopping addition, planned for my future, found an ancient doctor that works for me to balance my pain and last but not least... I experienced true joy, acceptance, and confidence in being me, whole me, flaws that are told are flaws but are things we grow from. I am so grateful to Fitness Together. They truly have people who care and help build you to your ultimate. Marques, thank you. Thank you for believing in the fact that I can believe in myself. I started as a shell of what I used to be. Together, Adian dug me out, and Marques gave me my book about me, helped me to remember, as well as grow into the best me. A gym is just a gym, but Fitness Together is a life path. I came in thinking I was just going to gain a scary booty. But I gained more than my excellent booty. I experienced life growth. One that has laid the foundation for me to build the beautiful home of myself I have always dreamed of. Marques reminded me that dreams are the first step to reality, and you are able to manifest the dreams you believe in as long as you believe in you. He gave me the gift of me. Showed me, hey, it isn't anybody but you. I am just here to remind you that you got this! Thank you, Marques and Fitness Together, for being a place of growth and courage. It is a life path that has enlightened my world. Are you ready to start yours?

Just a bad experience. I went for a month. The place was dirty, the equipment is outdated and old…read more Nothing is in good condition. They don't have any real weight lifting equipment so you can't power lift and they basically just want everyone to use light weights and bands. The trainer didn't cancel even when he had a very bad cold so I got sick, he coughed the entire session. He said he didn't want to cancel and it was probably just allergies. In February. If you are hoping to do any cardio or even warm up, forget it. They have a couple ancient treadmills that are always broken. For the price per session you could easily belong to a nice gym and get personal training. Avoid,

If you ask, they will give alternates to any workouts that you may not be able to do. The weekday morning classes have been the perfect size for me and Saturday morning was a bit crowded. I haven't tried the weekday evening classes so I'm unsure about the class sizes. Overall great gym to be apart of, plenty of parking, not located near a metro but there are bus stops around.

I had to rest for a few minutes during my first workout in months, and Jeff took this opportunity to try and push personal training. When I questioned him about two sessions a week, he grew overtly indignant (clearly hoping for more sessions to put money in his pocket). Honestly, this initial encounter really made me adverse to the gym space. I know it's a business, but feeling like you're just a means to an end isn't an incentive to join.

Acknowledging members is the very least employees can do. The bearded employee who sits in one of the cubicles is equally oblivious. He never looks up from his phone as members past by him. If you're looking for a gym that's friendly, warm, and welcoming, this isn't it.

I absolutely love this gym!…read more I live in downtown Silver Spring, and I used to attend the planet fitness that is on Wayne Avenue but decided to switch over because I figured that Golds Gym would have more advanced equipment, and it has not disappointed! Its location is prime, considering that it's right across the street from a Whole Foods so you can quickly go in there after your workout and grab a snack or drink to eat if needed. The gym is quite spacious, with lots of different equipment to choose from and enough space where you don't feel like you're on top of someone else trying to get a workout in. I also like the fact that the gym is content creator friendly -- as someone who periodically likes to record themselves working out (of course, being mindful of other people around me) it's nice to see that that's welcome here in the gym and other people taking advantage of that as well. I find the gym staff to be quite friendly! They're open to answering any questions you may have, and I have not had a bad experience overall with them.

It's the largest Anytime Fitness I've ever been to, and never feels crowded. The staff are friendly and helpful, always saying hi, and the place is kept very clean. You can tell they really care about the gym. There are many new machines and lots of space to work out. The bathrooms are typical of an Anytime, pretty small, but I've come to the gym at all hours and there's never a wait for the bathroom or showers. It's on the pricier side for a monthly membership, but definitely worth it!

A few months after becoming a member, I tried spinning classes, which were fun and challenging. I…read moresoon noticed the seats, set parallel to the floor, didn't fit my anatomy. I was sliding forward uncomfortably. I brought a wrench, raised the front of (just)one seat a notch, and then it didn't feel as if I were struggling to stay on. I chose the narrowest, least padded style, similar to a racing bike saddle. The owner told me I was the only one who preferred that kind. There used to be a 'needs fixing' sheet for members to list equipment problems. Some had written complaints that the bike seats were 'tipped.' So, the staff flattened all the seats. I went to Lee, the manager, and asked politely if I could have one seat (just one seat!) adjusted to my comfort. I was met with an expression of surprise and mild annoyance. Denied. The classes were never full so nobody would've been forced to use a 'tipped' seat. But even if all the bikes in the spinning studio had been taken, there were four more in other parts of the gym, which I never saw in use simultaneously. One seat on any of those could've been adjusted without forcing anyone to use a 'tipped' seat. And of course, the seat posts are interchangeable. So, on it went: I'd adjust a single saddle, a staff member would flatten it, and the charade would begin anew. I politely raised the issue with Ruby, the owner; she said she'd put a note on a saddle to not flatten it. A week later she reneged, implying Lee wouldn't allow it. The reasoning: If one was changed, then all could be changed and Lee wasn't willing to deal with that. Denied again. BUT, he accommodated all those who complained about 'tipped' seats. That's not fair. He could've easily worked with me and gotten to 'yes.' The seats are adjustable for a reason. The entire business is BASED on human anatomy, including its--ahem--variations. I was 'nudged' by the former manager shortly after starting my membership. Under my original 4-star rating on this page, she added a note asking me what it would take to add a fifth star. Consistent, prolonged and respectful treatment as a valued member, I would've told her. But, my reasonable requests were repeatedly ignored. A couple of the staff(K and K) seemed to view me as demanding, difficult, and treated me with veiled hostility. And then there's this: The two managers, Lee & Jen, plus Lee's wife, wrote 5-star reviews on this page. These are conflict of interest violations per Google usage rules. Owner Ruby added praise and thanks below these 'reviews.' P.S. The managers' illegitimate reviews and owner-added comments have been deleted. October 2023.

It's really disingenuous when planet fitness corporate responds to these individual reviews and…read morethen tells you to talk to the location manager, which I always do first. In most cases location management states they can't fix any facilities issues (including when they don't have enough, or the right kind, or working equipment). And when I tell them that corporate told me to address it with them they say they are limited by corporate or the franchise owner. [See my review of Gallery Pl., Chinatown location ~"we are stuck with the same machines for about 10 years or until they break, even if we ordered too many and two few" --------- This location used to be the best for for the first couple years it was open. my only complaint during the first few years of operation was frequent temperature/ HVAC outages and fluctuations. The spa area would be uncomfortablly cold most of the time while the locker room was disgustingly hot and humid. The AC would be out or barely working for long periods of time in certain sections. I know there isnt much PF could do about it, sadly they are limited due to the building which they don't own. The best part about this location is the plentitude of machines and the very large space for PF 360/ stretching and aerobic activity upstairs. After three years the cleanliness of this location really started to suffer , as well as the insanely frequent breaking of urinals in the mens locker room. The exercise areas were maintained well enough but the locker rooms and especially the showers and toilet stalls were usually really gross and neglected looking. The is something I almost never see at most locations except PG Plaza. Also in the first few years this location used to have really energetic and outgoing staff, that was so great that we would have regular conversations. But it's really gone downhill since then. Most of them tend to be/ act introverted and not friendly.

Pretty decent for the price…read more Since gym membership ranges from $10-$22 per month, one should not expect too many fancy things. For the price point, I think this location is pretty good. This two-story location has a wide variety of cardio equipment, a moderately sized weights area, and a few stretching areas. There two tiers of membership $10 per month vs $24 per month. The latter tier gives you access to other gyms in the location, tanning beds, massage chairs, and discounts for selected products. From my understanding, the yearly membership dues are around 40 bucks, and you can quit at any time. For the most part, the gym is clean; however, you may find some dust bunnies in some of the stretching areas. That said, I didn't see anything that would gross me out. I will say that about 95% of the members do a great job with wiping down the machines after using them. Also, the location does provide plenty of paper towels and sanitizing solution through the gym. Unfortunately, I wish the weight area was a bit larger, but I guess there is not much I (or the gym) can do about the size at this point. I was a bit disappointed that the gym has only Smith machines for bench presses. However, the representative pointed this out to me when she gave me a tour of the facility before I purchased my membership. I will say that this location does have PLENTY of cardio machines. Pretty much the entire lower level is full of cardio machines. Although I've only visited a couple of times, I did not see any machines or equipment that was out of order. Overall, I think this location is good for getting back into a (mostly independent) fitness routine. Before signing up, I highly recommend doing a tour just to make sure the gym has all of the things you want. Customer service-wise, I thought the representative who gave me a tour was very informative.

I've been coming to OTF for about 5 months now, and this is probably the best workout experience…read moreI've EVER had in my life. I used to see the commercials and heard people always talk about Orange Theory, so one day I called the studio and signed up for my first class (first class is free btw). My coach was Coach Angie who I absolutely adore. She made sure I was okay and pacing myself and I never felt pressured at any point. The front desk staff did a really great job at breaking everything down to me in the beginning about the different zones and splat points, and what my fitness goals are, and just about any and everything else you can think of. When I first started, I bought the 8 class package but then just ended up really loving the classes and my results I got the unlimited package and come about 4 times a week. I usually take the early afternoon classes with either Coach Tiffany or Coach Anella, or sometimes take Coach Maya or Coach Maria's classes, and Coach Kristoff's classes in the evenings. All of the coaches are really great people. They are super fun and supportive and you can really tell that it's not just a job for them. I love love love OTF!

IMPORTANT UDATE AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS REVIEW!!…read more Don't let the slick marketing and design fool you. These people are predatory sheisters who don't give a damn if you injure yourself and will keep billing your credit card long after your membership is cancelled. Below is a breakdown. 1) Poor injury prevention. Warm-ups are purely cursory and there is limited to no supervision during workouts, leading to frequent preventable injuries. I personally was injured twice in one year. 2) Predatory business practices. When I requested a temporary membership freeze because I was injured, I was forced to sign a draconian new contract that required me to continue paying some dues during the freeze and extended the notice window for canceling my original contract, meaning that I would have to continue paying dues even if never recovered from my injuries. 3) Ongoing credit card charges. In the eight months since I've cancelled my membership, they have continued to charge my credit card for monthly dues. My repeated emails about the problem have gone unanswered and the problem persists, even though I cancelled by membership in late 2025. Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere. UPDATE 6/25/26: THE STUDIO CONTINUES TO FRAUDULENTLY BILL MY CREDIT CARD AND IS NOW THREATENING TO SEND MY ACCOUNT TO COLLECTIONS. FOR BLOCKING CHARGES, ALTHOUGH I CANCELED MY MEMBERSHIP MONTHS AGO AND HAVE SENT COUNTLESS EMAILS DEMANDING THAT THEY STOP BILLING ME. UPDATE 7/26/26: OT HAS SENT MY ACCOUNT TO COLLECTIONS, ALTHOUGH I CANCELLED MY MEMBERSHIP IN NOVEMBER AND PAID ALL DUES OWED THROUGH THE END OF MY MEMBERSHIP 30 DAYS LATER.
