“One of the best YMCAs I’ve been too, the staff is really friendly and will help you out with lifting questions/ spots for heavier lifts + lots of cardio equipment, machines, free weights, pool, rock climbing, and fitness studios. Clases are offered as well, some included with membership and others for extra price. Highly recommend this location for individuals up to families to start getting in the gym and making gains.”
“Myles is motivating and awesome!
I took the Monday strength and conditioning class. Great mix of cardio and strength (rows, bike, kettlebell swings, burpees) that make time fly by and leave you feeling accomplished. Well-run, efficient, and intense in the best way. I’ll definitely be back.”

“I made the Cove my home gym for 4 months while living in the area temporarily. Brian, the owner, was incredibly welcoming and went out of his way to make me feel like part of the family! The facility is massive and the programming is challenging but always scalable. Highly recommend for all fitness levels!”
“Phenomenal team! This facility is the best because of the atmosphere they upkeep. If you are serious about workingout and tired of the gyms with crowds of social-media-holics, THIS IS THE PLACE! Personal trainer Lauren Weinhold is a professional also highly recommend for post-injury recovery. Attending her workout and yoga sessions saved my life seriously. I thought after my major car wreck, I would never walk normal again or even find a gym where i wont have a panic attack…to be rid of the pains, feel stronger, and look even better; feels euphoric! David Sturman super charismatic bossman and right off the bat asked me if they could coordinate w/ my physical therapist, thats how I knew they were a real and honest place! Even got a massage expert/PT Jen Coyne! Been a long time since I been at a REAL gym. Affordable rates 👍🏼”

“As a former collegiate athlete, I have high standards when it comes to rehabilitation and performance care, and True Sports in Glen Burnie exceeded every expectation. After rehabbing for knee surgery (MPFL reconstruction), achilles tendinosis, and a humerus fracture, I can confidently say their team provides elite-level care. True Sports is a high-performance rehab facility with advanced technology, specialized equipment, and a very knowledgeable staff, but what truly makes the difference is the people. Rachel was exceptional throughout my recovery — not only highly skilled and knowledgeable, but also incredibly attentive, encouraging, and invested in my long-term success. She knew when to push me, when to adjust, and always made me feel confident in the rehab process. Every session felt individualized and intentional. Beyond Rachel, every member of the team has been welcoming, professional, and genuinely supportive. I’ve even recommended multiple high-level athletes to True Sports because I trust the quality of care they provide. Recovery is never easy, but this team helped me regain strength, confidence, and function in a way I’m truly grateful for.”

“Can’t say enough great things about the team at Wonderfly! From Day 1 they have been super supportive and encouraging. I explained what I would like out of this partnership and with my busy military schedule they have delivered above and beyond customer service and support to me. I try and make it to as many classes per week based off my schedule. I’ve missed two weeks due to work schedule and when I returned the team welcomed me with open arms! I’ll def keep coming as long I’m living in the area! Thanks Wonderfly team♥️”

“True Balance studio has been so much more than a gym for me. The trainers are incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and fun to be around. They've helped me work through injuries, gain confidence, and challenge myself in ways I never thought I would. Thanks to them, I feel healthier both physically and mentally. The owner gets to know every person personally. In addition, I have met a lot of great friends (go early morning peeps). If you like yoga, cardio, strength training, dance and more, this place is for you. If you haven’t worked out in years, this place will welcome you without judgement. Plus, there’s always fun events popping up - dance party, tai chi, sound therapy, concerts and so much more. I'm incredibly grateful to be part of this community. AMR- you rock!”

“The Colosseum is a true gym. This gym is for you if you want to stop talking about getting in better shape and just execute. If you want to take a selfie in the mirror and post it on social media, sip a cup of espresso, and get a massage just go to another gym in Columbia. If you want a serious gym that's serious about your development I promise your in the right place.The personal training is old school. Josh Flemenbaum is my trainer and I actually look forward to my workouts. He ensures that my technique is always correct to avoid any injuries and is extremely reliable & punctual. The strength development is intense. The best way for me to describe it is comparing the training to the Batman vs. Superman movie in the scene when Bruce is training to fight Superman. If you haven't seen the movie just Google Bruce Wayne training vs. Superman and watch it. This is old school training using the sledge hammer to the tire, power sled, and battle ropes, yeah that's the kind of training you get from Josh who will devote and develop you into a better version of yourself. Tim the owner is who recommended Josh for my personal training and I'm truly grateful because I've never felt better in my life.If you wanna come to a gym where you don't feel judged and want to get into the best shape of your life come check Colosseum out.”

The combination of personal training and the classes offered at XPF have been exactly what I needed. I am 59 years old, and in just a few months have made significant progress in correcting muscular imbalances and increasing strength. The classes have good energy and are appropriate for many levels. I especially love the Kettlebell and XOver classes. Thanks XPF, I’m hooked!”

“I hate exercise. But I love Synergy! I found this lovely and very different boutique fitness center years ago and I never left. Charmaine and Rod (the owners) are often onsite and teach many of the classes and private sessions themselves. They and the rest of the staff are wonderful! When I started, everyone (including other clients) was nonjudgmental and encouraging. Hearing "You did great, please come back!" was more motivating than I could have imagined, and I'm still here! They make the work lots of fun with laughter, encouragement, and acceptance of all shapes and sizes. Charmaine still keeps me motivated, and thanks much to her I'm now more fit and healthy than I was 15 years ago. Come join us - you'll be glad you did. Lots of exercise options; lots of fun!”
“This place is the best! It’s clean, never too crowded, and has plenty of equipment. Owner Roy, manager Ali, and the rest of the staff are very helpful and welcoming and have built a great gym community.

Bruce also discussed nutrition and weight loss, while giving me an overview on getting in shape. Their location in the Inner Harbor is close to everything and the facilities, including two saunas, were a nice surprise. Grind is a place for people who are serious about working out, which was an encouraging environment.”

The first class can be daunting and I noticed he got them working at a comfortable pace. Would definitely stop in again next time I’m in the area.”
