What Is the Best Gym in Severna Park?

Vote for your favorite place to exercise.

 

Severna Park has the Baltimore & Annapolis Trail for those who prefer the perks of the fresh air and scenery while walking, biking or running for exercise. But for a really good workout, most head indoors to one of the area's gyms to use the treadmill and specialty equipment.

The Severna Park area has a selection of gyms, which is your favorite?

    Many of us left SPRFC for LA Fitness when it opened at the intersection of Jumpers Hole and Route 2. There are tons of SP and Green Hornet sports shirts in the gym. It is far the best value for the tons of equipment and classes and new locker rooms. I haven't used the pool, spa or sauna, but they look great and are very actively used. I pay $25 a month. Can't beat it.

    My wife became a nationally ranked gymnast from Docksiders gym right over past the ice rink. I know it may not be the kind of "gym" you are looking for but it seemed like a good place for her.

    Sport Fit is more than a place where you just rent equipment. They offer so many different ways to get results. Sport Fit makes working with a trainer affordable. It's a community gym and no one ever judges you. The staff is amazing and I always notice a young man working hard to clean the machines.

    Sport Fit in Severna Park, MD provides the fitness-minded individual with a great site to achieve one's fitness goals. From the courteous, warm welcome of the staff, as you enter the facility, to the professionalism of the personal trainers, members are sure to have an opportunity for affordable, professional, and cheerful assistance. I cannot overstate the quality of the talented and caring staff, instructors, and personal trainers. The variety of group classes, (e.g., Muscle Pump, Max Core, Pilates, Tobata, Zumba, yoga, and cycling) offers members a desirable and challenging choice of alternative fitness activities, TRX, Fit for Life, and The Biggest Loser are a few of Sport Fit's other offerings. The instructors, who lead the group classes, are nothing short of spectacular. Sport Fit maintains up-to-date and diverse exercise equipment for the fitness enthusiast. For those with children, there is onsite childcare available. Health seminars are also offered to help members achieve their fitness and wellness objectives. The members themselves are closely knit and friendly.

    Sport Fit has provided me with many years of exercise. I love seeing my friends and other people from the community exercising together. Recently I joined Tiffany's Biggest Loser program and experienced my greatest results to date! I love the trainers' approach to fun fitness!

    Active Body and Health has the most comfortable and welcoming environment that I have worked out in. The personal trainers and pilates instructors are REAL people who care about their clients on a personal level. I don't feel like just a number at Active, I feel like family. Plus they have great equipment, and very motivating and challenging classes and personal training.

    Active body and Health is the best place I have ever worked out. Because the training is PERSONAL, I look forward to my workouts, even when I'm tired. Debbie has become my friend as well as my trainer, and we have a great time so that I forget how hard I'm working. This gym can't be beat!

    Woah this poll is close! I don't know about the other places, but Sport Fit has improved my life! They don't just guess and tell me what to do. The trainers and staff take time to get to know me, my injuries and my goals. After that, they direct me towards the best possible programs. I didn't feel like they were just trying to sell me something. The only thing they sold me on was my health. I always tell my friends about Sport Fit!

    Sport Fit Severna Park truly is a treasure. They offer all the same stuff the big box gyms do but also add the amazing service and the best personal training in the area. Its non-judgmental and non-intimidating atmosphere make it the perfect place for me to workout. They offer classes, group personal training and one-on-one customized personal training. The value simply cannot be beat. If you want all the benefits of exercise and want the best way to get RESULTS, you need not look any further than Sport Fit Severna Park!
