Nice gym- the indoor track is a great feature especially when the weather is not great. Lots of standard equipment and one indoor racquet court which is nice. The pool seems nice though I've not used it. Spacious locker rooms.*Edit Jan 2023* still as great as ever if a bit crowded (typical January gym!). The parking behind the building is clutch! Don't forget to check there if you can't find a spot

Tons of equipment never have to wait for something to be open. The friendliest staff of any gym I’ve been too. Ms.Kathleen, Jeremey , Becca, Jermill, all are awesome people. always kind and a pleasure to talk to. I’ve been to most gyms in Baltimore and the staff at downtown Merritt is by far the best

My favorite workout location. It has everything you need to get your body fit. All except no teens are allowed but they have a basketball court available.

It's clean, and the machine are laid out spaciously. Employees are friendly. There is parking next to the building, and if parking is full, the gym will validate parking for the neighboring parking garage.

Ok gym but not worth the $99 per month I pay. (Apparently that was a special deal) For the 3rd week or more so far one of the stair masters is still broken. The staff isn’t especially friendly or inviting at least not for the amount we pay. If I wanted a McDonalds energy when I walked into the gym I could have stayed at LA fitness. I left LA fitness for this exact reason. No perks available even though I recommended free masks for people who forgot them so they wouldn’t have to turn around and go get one and that wasn’t satisfied because of the cost year here we are paying at least $99 a month. This gym could afford to improve. No one is helpful or polite and it’s not running well enough to pay what I pay. I’m considering just going back to LA fitness. At least I would only pay around $35 a month.
