A fabric gym, well resourced with some great fitness machines. Some might say on the pricey side but the classes fit the value of the price. Has by far the best rooftop pool/ bar I've seen

I really like Merritt especially their classes and instructors but I feel like the gym is getting more and more crowded. Even with the new parking garage it’s difficult to find parking some evenings. I’m ending membership not because of the crowding but because of their price increases. When I initially joined I was able to get the “young professional” rate and I was promised that each year after my monthly rate would only go up my $5 a year until it reached the current rate. However, I recently got a letter stating my rate would go up to the current rate effective may 1st. I called to ask about this and to remind them what I was promised only to be told this is legally what gyms are allowed to do with rate increases. Awesome. With such an overcrowded gym you would think they could fund the facilities without hiking up everyone’s rates and breaking their promises.Thanks for the response Merritt but I don’t think you understand what my complaint is. Yes, I was told my rate would increase once I was over 25. What I was told when I joined was that it would only increase $5 a year until it reached the current rate. It already increased by $5 earlier this year when I turned 26 as was my original agreement. My complaint is that you are increasing my rate by another $15 starting in May. This is not what was promised to me when I originally joined.

Great gym that should be the best in the area soon once the new construction is complete. I just think it is so expensive ($79/month) if you don’t take the classes offered in the price, like me who only lifts weights and hits the pool. I’ve thought about leaving but haven’t, so there must be something that’s keeping me there.

Been in fitness/gyms for 20 years. Best club in the city...except the other Merritt clubs. Amazing free group classes for members: everything you can think of. Take a spin class, you won't regret it. Also note that the pool is off the chain amazing. The nicest pool in the city is being built and will finish sometime in 2017. I like the Merritt's Downtown location during the after work rush at gyms 5-:30 time. twice the size, so you have all the equipment you want :)

Pretty standard gym, really. A little expensive. Sometimes there are issues with machines, but on the whole equipment is new and in pretty good working order. Things are clean and there's a full menu of options. They always seem a little behind the 8 ball (basketball court should have been resurfaced long before it was), but they're trying. And once the parking garage and poolS are open, there will be a lot to love.

I signed up at for a year membership based upon an expansive facility and very cordial staff. Shortly after signing up I was introduced to the other side of Merit Fitness. I routinely have to wait more then 15 minutes for a treadmill. My standard 45 minute workout takes me over 2 hours because of overcrowding. Now that January is here I wait an hour for a treadmill and the workout normally is given up on. In addition to this I had a very poor experience with their personal training team. I scheduled my free personal training that came with my membership for my first week. I was very excited to renew my weight loss and achieve new goals. When the night of my training arrived I received a text from my trainer. "The appointment before you canceled and could you come in early". I indicated that I intending to come right after work so I could not do earlier. Fast forward to my arrival at the gym. I checked in for my training and got on a treadmill to warm up. I receive a text from the trainer ten minutes in to our time. "Where you at man". I told him I was on the treadmill and he indicated that he would come get me. 20 minutes into my session and I text him "are you still looking for me? I am still on the treadmill. 25 minutes in I get the reply "sorry couldn't find you we will have to reschedule". I say no big deal and continue on my day. The next day I receive an email congratulating me on completing my personal training with him. Over all this gym has oversold their equipment and under provided their customer service.

I have been away from the gym for awhile and have just started back. I love the body pump group class. It is perfect for all ages and me because you can gear you work out based on what you body can handle. Suzanne Cox has been one of my instructors from the beginning of my return. She is so in tuned to her students. She is there 30 minutes before the class starts and is constantly asking if there are any new people to pump, or folks like me who are returning. I love her commitment, energy and enthusiasm!

I'm a confessed gym rat. This is a remarkable gym. Spacious change rooms. Great equipment with free weights, squat rack, calf and dip stations... Which is frequently neglected at other gyms. Proper spacing to feel comfortable doing power cleans and 24 hours access. I am a frequent traveler so I was looking to try before committing to a drop in fee or membership. The 7 day no pressure trial was most appreciated...still in shock there was no forced tour. A gem in Baltimore.

LOVE Merritt! So many great group fitness classes to chose from with varying, convenient times. The staff is always friendly, helpful, and they do everything they can to keep members updated on the what is going on at the club- whether it is new offerings, holiday hours, or special classes. Many staff members even take the time to get to know you by name! While I haven't tried the new blow-dry bar service yet, I'm really excited that is now available. Also, can't beat having a pool to relax at in the summer :)
