Fitness & Gyms in Columbia, MD

“Eric is fantastic, he already knows what I'm capable of and what I cannot do....he always offers me alternative exercises! But he still pushes me(wink). His workouts are a beast and I love it. The entire staff are outstanding and you don't have to ask for assistance....it is offered.”

“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.”

“I was searching for a fitness program for my son who is on the spectrum. When I reached out to Cove, Brian was very helpful and supportive in trying to find something that would fit my son's needs. I feel he went above and beyond in trying to help us; this especially helpful and hopeful during a tough spot in my life. I am forever grateful for his support. He connected us with Tracy, one of the adaptive athlete and kid's program coaches, who is a true gem. Patient, flexible, so supportive and encouraging. I am in awe of this team! I also tried several of their adult classes, which I was impressed by. Coach Jamie was so kind and inclusive, for someone who was new to the program. They make you feel very welcome and supported. I am so thankful we found the Cove!”

“Great gym and staff. You can tell the staff care about the facility and welcome everyone in. There's a good balance between weight lifting racks, free weights, cardio equipment, and a sizable indoor turf area to spread out on.”

“Kick your butt workout. Great for breaking through plateaus. Mostly HIIT and cross fit flavored calisthenics. Very friendly staff and patrons. It's called boot camp, but it's a low threat environment that can take you to the next level if you pit in the effort. Otherwise, just a plain good workout. Lots of fitness diversity, zero shame, all supportive.”

“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!”

“MaxxFit gym is where I take my two boys to work out and get ready for football. For the last year we have been working with Chris to help develop my boys. I like the gym because the trainers know what they’re talking about and you can see results as both of my boys are having amazing seasons in JV and varsity. It’s a friendly atmosphere with real accountability to work hard and hustle. We will be coming back to MaxxFit for the off-season work out.”

“It’s the best. F45 is quick and effective - I started off slow and they accommodated by assisting with the workouts. I have gradually build stamina. Every workout is effective. Isaiah is an amazing couch he is great with helping with our form.”

“This studio and particularly Lisa is absolutely fantastic. I’ve been a client for over 10 years and can honestly say this is the best training experience I’ve seen or experienced. The approach to total health and movement is refreshing and Lisa’s ability to navigate in person and virtual settings across multiple clients of diverse backgrounds is incredible. You get a tailored approach to exercise including strength, movement, nutrition, etc at all ages and medical backgrounds and fitness levels. She’s able to do virtual and in person sessions and is extremely cost effective. I’ve learned so much about how to appropriately move and handle my body while building strength and flexibility and getting tailored plans that suit my schedule. She’s flexible and personal and the studio offers so much for so many people - I highly recommend.”

“Absolutely love this studio location, huge shoutout to the encouraging coaches, studio manager, and glowing environment they curate for members -- new and old. I've been going for half a year now and have been seeing amazing results and feel even better. Definitely recommend!”

“This is my 2nd time becoming a member. I have equipment at home but I love the fact that the gym has everything i could need for a multi pronged workout. I love the pool which is my primary reason for joining but I also love the indoor track, the opening times, and the variety of the gym equipment. I use the jacuzzi and the sauna often especially after a nice swim.
I was surprised when I realized that I am spending 2 to 3 hours when I go for a workout, and it's not wasted time but actually mostly spent working out in the different areas.
The monthly fee seems high but it's worth what you get.”

“We booked a private session for our 15 year old son and his 3 friends as a birthday gift. The owner Kwame and all the staff were awesome to work with. They gave us a tour of the facility in advance and went over all the safety equipment. The day of the session they started with a lesson to go over basic punches and footwork. After a bit of practice and drilling they got in the ring for a mini tournament. Kwame was an awesome and charismatic teacher and the guys had a great time. We highly recommend this facility!”

“I absolutely love this gym! The weights are new, the equipment is clean. The variety of activities is astonishing. The only criticism I have is there are only two squat racks.”

“Joined 2 years ago, more specifically the Flat Abs in 60 Days program, and have no regrets. Training with Maurice is a love and hate situation lol but can't complain too much, as I see significant results. My goal was not to just lose weight but improve overall performance and strength, with this program I have hit many milestones and have clear results. My strength and speed have increased significantly, and I couldn't be happier. I appreciate a program that cares about your overall performance and not only about the numbers on a scale (even though he will still demand to see those numbers lol). Nutritional advices, check-ins and meal prep sessions offerings make for a complete package. I highly recommend.”

“If this gym was a sandwich, it would be a turkey sandwich. But! It would be a very nice turkey sandwich made of the best ingredients from the farmer’s market. Two basic ingredients for a good gym are equipment and a healthy/positive environment. This gym of course has both of those things but it’s just better.

There’s equipment here that’s difficult to find in most commercial gyms like a belt squat and the rogue reverse hyper rh-2. For equipment you can commonly find in commercial gyms, chiseled’s gym equipment is simply better since they have arsenal equipment.

I’ve been a member for almost 2 years now and found practically everyone to be friendly here. The management team and staff have been great too. I appreciate that they are constantly improving the gym. Anything from rearranging the layout of equipment to major projects like updating the floors and lights. Also I had a billing issue where I was at fault since my credit card expired and I failed to update my info. I was willing to eat the auto penalty fee, but I was refunded the amount after updating my info with the help of the staff who kindly notified the owner.

Just like a turkey sandwich, a gym can be just as basic; four walls, roof, barbells, weights, and people. This gym might be made of the same ingredients as others, but it’s not of the same quality. It’s a good gym.”

“I had an amazing time participating in their 6 week women’s self defense seminar. The skills built on each other very well and I felt confident and empowered throughout the course to protect myself and remove myself from danger. The instructors were awesome and I felt able to be vulnerable and challenge myself. Such a great experience!”

“One too many machines out of order. The staff that is made majority young adults needs to do BETTER with greetings, just don't look at me like you've a problem”

“I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Lifetime Spa for partial highlights and a full-service haircut, which included a wash, trim, and blowout. From the moment I arrived, I was thoroughly impressed with the pristine cleanliness and sophisticated atmosphere of the spa. It’s clear that under Jackie’s management, the attention to detail and commitment to excellence are top priorities.

Tatyana provided an exceptional consultation, where her professionalism and warm personality made me feel completely at ease. Her expertise and skill are evident in the stunning results, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with my new look. The kindness and care from both Tatyana and Jackie throughout the entire experience were remarkable.

Despite traveling over 40 minutes, the quality of service made the trip more than worth it. I highly recommend fellow club members take advantage of the spa’s services – you will leave feeling refreshed,”
