I have been a member of many fitness centers/gyms dating back to Holiday Spa in the basement of what is now the Towson mall, to Fit Gym now. Location changes have had me at well over 6 different gyms over the years. Fit! offers a wide variety of classes, an abundance of free weights, machines (well maintained), and space to pursue whatever fitness goal you may have. The gym is laid out well, and has huge additional space next door (accessible through the main gym, as well as its own front door) where they have larger classes, and hold HIIT classes. The classes, for the most part are free. There are a couple classes that require an additional fee (HIIT Class included), but thats kind of how it is. The HIIT class is great though and worth every penny. Over the years you will see a high staff turnover rate in gyms like this. While Fit! is not exempt from this either, I have been a member for well over year, and the core staff remains. They are friendly and courteous. They greet you with a smile and a hello when you come in and wish you a good day when you leave. That may seem like small potatoes to some, but its a big deal to me. I have seen reviews here where people complain that staff are inattentive or not engaged. I COMPLETELY disagree. Yes, they are at the front desk for the most part, but we are adults and lifting safely is not rocket science, nor are they babysitters. Lets face it most of us dont want to be bothered once we get into our routine, whatever that may be. That said, when I have asked for help and some expertise from the staff they were quick to help, informative, and one on one. The gym is kept clean, and machines are maintained. There is an annual fee of $29.99 (I could be a little off) that is used for maintenance of the equipment. I have no problem with that! Now onto the atmosphere, LOL! We all know gyms can be the fitness version of a night club. I am not much of a socialite, but that doesnt seem to be the case at Fit! The people at the gym are generally very friendly, and for some, like family. It can be as social as you want it to be. However, the gym floor is not a clique, so much that you would ever feel like you just walked into a private social club, and were the newbie on the scene. There are other clubs that are much more expensive and may offer more. Fit! is perfect for me, I lift, I do cardio, and it allows me to relieve stress from my day at work. The cost is extremely reasonable, and the hours are great. You want to get huge and lift crazy heavy weight, you can do it here, you want to just tone, and stay in shape, you can do that as well. If your deciding on a place to pursue your fitness and health goals, I hope this review helps with that decision.

Nice gym, helpful staff at the front desk, etc. BE CAREFUL ABOUT THE CONTRACT! My wife and I joined the gym after a trial membership we bought on Groupon. We were planning on moving out of Towson within a year of joining and we didnt want to commit to a contract. We explained this to the guy who was helping us and were assured repeatedly that we wouldnt be under contract, that we would be month-to-month and could cancel anytime. This assurance was the key factor in our decision. We were never shown a contract. We were asked to sign a little digital pad by the register and were told that it was "terms and conditions". At this point, my wife asked what the terms and conditions were for, because again- WE WERE NEVER SHOWN OR INFORMED ABOUT A CONTRACT- and were told that it had to do with authorization for automatic billing, acceptance of the gyms policies, receipt of our key fobs for entry, etc. Fast forward to June of this year, we go to cancel our membership because we moved to Columbia. I called the gym, the person I spoke to said theyd need a letter stating my intent to cancel, sent via certified mail. I sent the letter, called a few days later to make sure that they got it, was informed that they got it, my membership was cancelled and Im good to go. I make it a few more weeks before I get my CC statement- two charges from Fit! Gym. I called and find out that I was being charged because I am still under a contract until September! My wife calls and is emailed a copy of the contract, signed by me. Remember those "terms and conditions"? Surprise, it was really a contract! Im on the hook for about $60 a month for a gym thats 35 miles away until September. To add insult to injury, I was charged a total of $114 this month because they included their "annual fee" (something else not disclosed to us when we joined). TL;DR- The gym is nice. The gyms business practices that border on being deceptive are not. Ask to see a copy of their paperwork before signing anything from Fit! Gym.

Ive been to quite a few gyms, and this one has its pros and cons Pros -They have many facilities. They have a ton of equipment that a lot of other gyms dont have, including HIIT equipment, A Studio made just for HIIT, etc. -They recently upgraded their weights and machines and I do appreciate the nicer things in life. -The monthly no contract prices are pretty sweet for students! 25 a month. Simple. -Friendly Staff Cons -None of the water fountains work, ever haha. -The gym environment can be quiet sometimes. I like to see people getting a good workout, it can be extra motivation To sum it up, Its a nice gym and if you live close by, it will suit your needs. However, it doesnt have anything that pops out that makes me want to go out of my way to come here. Cool experience though.

Staff is unintelligent and argumentative. Staff also does not know how to handle situations pertaining to children or gym cleanliness. Not worth the money what soever for this sub par, filthy, atrocious gym. They also are behind a phishing scheme collecting additional money from unwilling customers. Watch out. Bullies behind the front desk and behind the management. Im curious to see if they have this comment deleted or not. We shall just to wait to find out whether justice and truth prevails over authoritarian treatment.

I love this gym! Been a member for about 4 months and its great! I do the student month-to-month rate, which is perfect for any students tight budget. I get access to everything that members have access to, including the workout area, cardio theater, classes, and more! I love the fitness classes! They really motivate me to go when I have a busy week with school. This is a great gym for everyone!

Ive been a member for the past three months. The bathrroms and showers are clean, the place is neat, the weights are restacked and in order, the equipment is new and if one is brooken it is repaired in short order, there is more than enough of a variety of equipment to satisfy the most ardent gym rat. The members and staff are friendly and the hours are good. I highly recommend the place!

This gym will scam you of your money. You can get the same amenities at other gyms for a cheaper price. If you dont take my advice I would advise you to read the contract carefully. THEY WILL TRICK YOU!!!! NEVER JOIN THIS GYM!!!! The staff members are rude and dont care about you. They will talk behind your back. No consideration you go to the gym to lose weight.
