    Umar's is a dedicated boxing gym. Doing good work in the community. Love the morale there.

    Although I've been to the Catonsville Y before, I was mostly swimming at the time to prepare for…read moretriathlon. Now, I'm preparing for Hyrox so I see the gym with a different perspective. I like that they have a ski erg machine that's comparable to that used at the event. My favorite Y is the Weinberg location, and that one is different. They also have a rope, which is useful for training the shoulders/arms. It's just in an awkward place. When the roped is pulled out to full lenght for use I felt like I was in the way. I tried two different angles and both were the same. Oh well. Sorry, not sorry. It's a big Y! They've got several sections of weights, machines, cycling rooms and the..... I guess I'll call it, Crossfit room (which is small and a bit awkward, but it works). They have weighted bags for the lunges up to 40lbs. They also have plenty of (matching) kettlebells. AND, they have weighted balls for the ball toss. The only thing missing is the sled. You can go to the Weinberg Y for that. I like this Y as well. There's plenty of room, which is good because it's much more crowded (even mid-day) than my other Y's. I was also glad to see the staff cleaning the weight rack. I mean, not just wiping it down. They removed the weights, wiped down the rack where the weights were sitting, and place the weights back. They were also removing the scuffs from the wall with the magic eraser. No wonder it looks so clean. And of course I can always count on the fireplace to chill at after my workout. Come check it out.

    I am writing to share feedback regarding my recent experience at the Catonsville Y related to Stay…read moreand Play hours. On a BCPS delayed start day, the facility did not clearly communicate any adjusted Stay and Play hours. The posted signage did not reflect the delayed schedule, and while staff observed me arriving with my child, this information was not proactively shared. I only learned of the adjusted hours after specifically asking. Clear and visible communication--especially on delayed start days--would help prevent confusion for families and improve the overall member experience. I appreciate your attention to this matter and hope it can be considered for future operations.

    As a government employee affected by the 2025 shutdown, I reached out to Gold's Gym Glen Burnie on…read more11/13 to explain that my membership payment was late due to being furloughed -- we have not received any pay since 10/01. I was told my account would be noted, but that I would not be allowed to use the gym until payment was made. I explained my situation several times, including that our back pay would be released soon, yet I was still denied access. It felt incredibly insensitive and discouraging to have to repeat my circumstances four different times just to ask for temporary understanding. I actually love Gold's Gym, which makes this experience especially disappointing. The gym has been my outlet during this stressful and emotional time, and to feel like I had to BEG to continue using it was truly disheartening. A little compassion and flexibility go a long way -- especially for loyal members going through situations beyond their control.

    I've been a member for 6-7 years now and was even an employee about 2 decades ago. I'm excited…read moreabout the much needed new renovations have started (especially the ground level bathrooms!). Much kudos go to the cleaning staff. Lord knows the guys keep them busy in the men's locker/bathroom! I always make time to thank them every time I see them! They stay on top of keeping the hand towel dispensers throughout stocked! Golds gym is everything you expect it to be! It keeps this Veteran coming back to keep up with the young'uns!

    I've visited this Planet Fitness two or three times when I happen to be in the area during my usual…read moreworkout time, and I really like the layout here. It's surprisingly larger inside than it looks from the outside, and the front end of the gym features large windows that let in a ton of great natural light. The locker room layout is very practical, one side is dedicated to lockers, another to toilets, and the third to showers. I did notice a couple of damaged lockers, and the handicap shower is missing its handheld showerhead (which really should be fixed for those who rely on that accessibility option). The staff I interacted with were friendly, and it was great to see them connecting with the gym regulars. They were also actively cleaning and restocking while I was working out, which is always a huge plus. During this visit, I didn't come across a single broken machine while using the elliptical, dumbbells, cable strength machines, and leg press. Pro-tip: The ceiling fans here are incredibly powerful! If you want a strong breeze during your cardio, pick a machine right underneath one. If not, definitely choose one a little further away. Overall, the location is clean and well-maintained. I'll definitely be using this gym again when I'm in the area.

    I always loved being a member until recently and here's why; Back in last August 2025 I spoke to a…read moreteam member in person to cancel my membership because my bank account was no longer going to be funded due to not working because the app says one of the methods to cancel is in person. That team member told me she would cancel the membership and I will be all set. I was never told I needed to fill out any form of any kind. Fast forward to this month of June 2026 I attempted to re-join only to find out I have an outstanding balance due from recurring monthly fees and late charges that should not have been goin on. Now they are telling me I have to pay the arrears in order to make my account current so I can workout. The most they are offering is to waive the late fees and I pay the last two months membership fees that I should never have. I didn't even mention all the ongoing membership fees they've been drafting since I canceled but they also are not considering that. (perhaps I should pursue that through my bank) I tried to escalate by reaching out to corporate Member Services by email but that deadened with a return email saying to contact my local club management because they are franchise owned. It looks to me like they are willing to lose out on me making continuous monthly payments over a two months balance that I should not have to begin with all because of their team member not doing their job. Not my fault, I am just a customer. I will say this, I WILL NOT pay for someone else's mistake and those fees will NEVER be paid. Send it to collections and wait for it to disappear. Seriously.

    Another update! Back to report that the new configuration of spin class downstairs and mat classes…read more(like yoga, barre, and pilates) upstairs works very well. I've been loving Monday night spin classes with Zain - he is an incredible instructor with the best playlists. His class is some of the most fun I've had at a workout class. It feels more like dancing with a group of friends than working out. I bike about 10 miles in his 45 minute class which is something I just never thought I'd be capable of. I've also been enjoying Wednesday evening barre classes upstairs with Erin. This is a new class and I hope they keep it on the schedule! Erin is a great instructor who queues very clearly and makes the class feel fun with her high energy. As someone who primarily weight lifts, barre is such a refreshing challenge for me. I feel like I'm learning a whole new skill set in that class. For a bit, I was also liking the Thursday evening mat pilates class with Chi but they seemed to have taken it off the schedule now :( The weight training areas continue to be conducive for a great workout. My only wish would be that they replace some of the elliptical machines with treadmills. When the gym gets a little busy, it's easy for the treadmills to fill up pretty fast since there's about 8 treadmills total. Whereas, there's probably twice as many ellipticals and I don't think I've ever seen more than a few people using them at a time. I'm also not a huge fan of the fact that you now how to ask the front desk for a towel - this isn't something I've seen at any of the other locations. The bathrooms are a bit outdated and could use some updating as well.

    Love this gym! The staff are so friendly and the facilities are always clean. I have all of the…read moreequipment that I need for my lifts, which I also really appreciate.
