Best Gyms with Resistance Machines near Owings-mills, Maryland

For anyone considering joining the Merritt in Owings Mills, please give this a read. I became a member at Merritt almost 15 years ago. When I joined they were offering a promotion that the first and last months were free. I moved away a few months ago so I went in to cancel my membership and to make sure they honored the contract that was signed. I spoke directly to Jennifer, an Asst GM at the location, and she said they did not have anything on file for this and they would need to contact the back office. I waited nearly a month and sent an email back to Jennifer which was almost 3 months ago at this point. To this day they still have not responded or resolved the $41 credit that they owe me. It is sad to think that a local business is comfortable ignoring a customer who spent money with them for well over a decade, and not honor a contract they agreed to, over $41. I am posting and sharing my story in hope that even a few people read this and decide to take their business elsewhere. Thanks for reading.

First off started out with the positive, the women's bathrooms are always very clean which I appreciate. Most of the employees there are friendly. But ....... The employees there NEVER ever approach people that are SLAMMING weights. This happens every time I'm there. Other her members are looking over at the person slamming the weights, like really dude?? It's beyond annoying. There is a thing called gym etiquette!

I’d like to share my experience with Nadeen as a PT was the best EVER! Nadeen asked me questions on my areas of concern and delivered a workout that had me wanting to challenge myself more. I appreciate her holding me accountable so that I wouldn’t let our sessions go to waste. I can’t wait to work with her again for new body goals.

This is a decent gym. The women bathroom is always clean and organized. The cardio machines I feel could be updated. I personally do not like that people outside of the gym can see you working out inside of the gym. That’s the only reason I barely come to this gym.

Small gym, great staff, always clean, 24 hour access for members. Never over crowded...

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a workout at HOTWORX, and I couldn’t be more impressed with their unique take on fitness. Initially, I was skeptical about the idea of exercising inside a sauna, but the results were astonishing. After the session, I found myself drenched in sweat, feeling invigorated and revitalized. HOTWORX utilizes infrared saunas, providing numerous health benefits beyond just a workout. The classes are conducted virtually through a TV, allowing for a seamless and engaging experience. The staff at HOTWORX are knowledgeable, friendly, and, importantly, they do not pressure you into purchasing a membership. While this type of workout might not be for everyone, I highly encourage anyone to give it a try at least once. The combination of infrared sauna benefits and a well-structured workout makes HOTWORX a standout in the fitness industry. If you’re looking for an innovative and effective fitness experience, HOTWORX is definitely worth a visit.

Great experience so far! Hot Cycle and Hot Blast are my favorite so far. If you’ve been wanting to get the sauna infrared benefits while working out…this is the place for you! Make sure to go check them out!

It's been almost three months since I joined HOTWORX, so I thought of giving an updated review. It has been a fantastic experience. I love every second of all my sessions! I initially thought I would have issues with hot flashes, but now it is nonexistent - I could not remember when I last had an episode. And, my back and knee feels a lot better! Give HOTWORX a try! You will not only look good and feel good, but you also give your health a chance. ___________________________________________________________________________________ I love HOTWORX!! It’s the best workout I’ve ever tried. Besides enjoying the benefit of exercise inside a sauna, it is open 24/7 and has great customer service! Not to mention the monthly membership is affordable. I highly recommend HOTWORX in Owings Mills.

Since joining @HOTWORX for 11 weeks, here’s what I accomplished: 1. Keeping my blood pressure down to the point that I’m now only taking 1/2 of my regular dose. My goal is to wean myself off of my BP regimen completely. 2. I lost about 5 lbs, mainly from my abs. I know it’s not a lot of weight loss, but I started not having much to lose. But the 5lbs is still an excellent gain for an avid cyclist. 3. Faster recovery from my hard cycling days (50-to-100-mile cycling days). The accumulated lactic acid in my cycling muscles is easily flushed out. Plus, the HOTWORX Hot Stretch quickly relaxes those tightened muscles from cycling. 4. No more knee pain and lower back pain. Before HOTWORX, I was on three Physical Therapy programs for my knee & back pain from two decades of cycling. However, I discovered that as soon as I loosened my hamstring and lower back from HOTWORX Hot Stretch, both knee pain & lower back pain were gone! Here’s where the power of HOTWORX comes from that works perfectly for me: Infrared, heat, and muscle stretching and relaxation. I highly recommend HOTWORX!

HOTWORX is amazing! The workouts are challenging and fun and I feel amazing after each class! I can’t even pick a favorite class I love them all. The facility is beautiful and well appointed and always clean. The owners, Levon and Adrienne are very kind, present, and attentive. Taylor is always so sweet, helpful and willing to go above and beyond for the members! She always greets members with warmth and enthusiasm! Hotworx is honestly an experience beyond what I had even anticipated. It feels like a great community of owners, staff, and members. Thanks for opening here in our backyard!!
