You're basically running on a soft-surfaced treadmill and doing lots of different exercises using your own body weight, free weights, bands, etc. You will be harnessed in so you don't go running off of the front of the machine. You get a heart rate monitor when you arrive. This way you can monitor your heart rate during the work out. Your heart rate and your name will appear on a screen in the studio, along with everyone else in the class. The instructor is really like a coach. She will tell you and others to push harder if your heart rate isn't in a certain zone, but she'll also let you know you should back off if your heart rate gets too high. PACE YOURSELF! Or you may end up light-headed and nauseated like me! Lots of explosive movements. This is definitely a high intensity interval training workout. The greatest difficulty for me is following the routine, like in any fitness class. I'm just not very coordinated. The work out is only 30-45 minutes, which is also nice. There's plenty of parking, but it's kind of awkward. The building where this is located is kind of nondescript and old, but you will find it pretty easily.

Can I give more than 5 stars?!…read more The business model is physical therapists are your fitness coaches. Hour long mall group (14 max) classes run from 6am-6pm. An app tells you what the workout will be, and enables you to track your data. We pre-test certain workouts, build strength, mobility, and skill for about 12 weeks, and then re-test those workouts again. Such a solid, motivating way to see progress. Membership includes a monthly 1:1 with a coach/PT. Membership is not cheap, but hey, we're all going to pay for our health in some way at some point; I'd rather invest this way than spend money on insulin or heart surgery. There are various discounts, including couples and annual memberships. Membership also includes 24 hour access to the facility. I have gotten measurably stronger and more fit in the 6 years I've been working out at Recharge. In that time, they supported me through 2 major orthopedic surgeries, COVID, and menopause. Yikes! One of the very best things about Recharge is the community itself. The coaches and athletes are genuine...it's not a "bro" gym, it's not a place where only the coolest kids merit any assistance. I go 4x/week to workout with my friends. We laugh, cry sometimes, and cheer each other on. And yet it's not clique-y. The community is so strong that we now have social gatherings...there's a book club, bourbon tastings, a monthly game night, and more. Just. Do. It.

Minimal breaks however go at your own pace. I attended the Box N Glow class so the lights were off and I feel like it took the pressure off of looking like a beginner or getting tired mid way through class. This event was to fundraiser and build awareness to the special Olympics Organization for Howard county. There were snacks, a mocktail and a two free raffle tickets to enter a for vouchers to a plethora of places from game night to spa days. It was an extremely well organized event with awesome staff. If I lived closer, I would join!

At Coreworks, the classes have no more than 8-10 reformers, so the instructor can take the time to help each student with the routines. No two workouts are the same, and classes are never dull. If you are thinking of giving Pilates a try, visit CoreWorks and check Groupon, as there are often new member/class packages.

I always wanted to try pilates on the reformer. The gym I go to is too pricy so when I saw an offer…read moreon groupon for three sessions I purchased it. Per the instructions on groupon, I emailed Fran so that I could create a log in online but I didn't hear back from her so I called the office. Once my account was created, I was able to sign up for classes. I was informed before I took any classes I would need to take the Intro to Equipment class. Fran was the instructor. She was patient and helpful as it was my first time and I needed specialized attention. For my second session, I took Reformer I & II with Doreen. Foe my last session I took Tower with a substitute for Doreen. All the instructors were patient, helpful, and friendly. They ask if anyone had injuries and they walk around and if your technique is wrong they adjust and correct you which I greatly appreciated. The classes were challenging to me since I am not good at following directions. Also, if you don't remember instructions well, I recommend taking Intro to Equipment multiple times. I had to look around to see how to do things as I am a visual learner, not an audio learner. The facility is tucked away in the corner and is not visible if you are in the parking lot. Fortunately I saw someone wearing athletic clothes and followed them. The facility is clean and bright. There are two individual restrooms. There is a main room with cubbies. The reformer room also had cubbies. The reformer room was slightly warm even with ceiling fans so I dressed lighter the second and third session. I enjoyed my experience, but could have benefitted from more intro classes. The classes were much different than my normal cardio and strength training classes at my gym. The pace was slower and it was a great way to relieve stress. I highly recommend Core Fitness for Pilates.

Found this gym for junior Olympic weightlifting for my daughters who are 8 and 11. We live 45 mins…read moreaway and sacrifice the drive to come here for the weightlifting lifting team. The sacrifice is similar to most parents I know who do the same sacrificial drive to one of the best gymnastics gyms in the area. This junior weightlifting team is the only one I know of in town when I was looking for one. I think there are many weightlifting clubs or barbell clubs in this area but not for young kids that offer training to someone as young as one of my daughters who are 8 and 11 years old. This place offers an outstanding weightlifting foundation for kids starting 8 years old (probably even younger if one is able to grasp the concept). We discovered this gym March 6th and my girls went to their first weightlifting meet April 15th and have done extremely well. The girls have great form and the junior weightlifting coach/owner ensures they are doing their lifts safely. We want safety first and prevent injuries. This coach also coaches adult weightlifters. The gym has a lot of weights, dumbbells, rowers and air-bikes. Four platforms noted. They have boxes too for box jumps and rings for ring rows, dips and muscle ups. They have a rig for pull-ups and kettlebells. Aesthetically, it is better than some gyms I have been too. The place still smells like fresh paint. Bathrooms are big with showers and are approved for persons with disabilities. Whenever I can, I join their group fitness class. Since the gym is still new, the class times offered are 4:30-5:30 and 5:30-6:30 at this time. The 5:30 class is perfect and matches the kids training session, starting at 5:30. More class times are planned as the gym gets more members who request other class times. The coaching from Coach Robbie is very good. I only expect the best from a CF teams competitor. I really like his programming but he seems so shy though and doesn't talk much. I need a little more encouragement from Robbie because I am not a super athlete like the other guys he coaches. I am not familiar with all kinds of fitness training and other varied exercises. I am someone who you need to teach and explain things to. I can be a challenge. Again, I like his programming with exercises that is suppose help with stabilization. I also experienced great coaching from tall Anthony (Olympic Weightlifter/CF coach). He is very personable and explains each movement well and explains what muscles we should expect to feel the sore or the burn. Provides good modification so that I can still do a workout and feel the burn. Thinks of safety first to prevent injury and will push you throughout your workout. I need this kind of encouragement. He also makes the workout more fun and less intimidating. There's the Owner/Olympic Weightlifting Coach Anthony who is extremely knowledgeable with fitness, core strength and stabilization. When there's no class, I workout on my own. Once in a while the coach/owner can't help and notice my mistakes, so he will chime in from the other end of the gym and tell me to fix my leg or my arms when I'm practicing an Olympic weightlifting movement. I feel bad and do not like asking guidance from him while he is busy coaching the kids, but he will chime in anyway... and my kids tease me about it and my form (lol). But, it's nice getting unsolicited help :) This gym is new and is working on building its community. Come, and be a part of it! This gym offers superb training on junior weightlifting, adult weightlifting and fitness training. If you want to get better at your weightlifting, come here! This is a great place to learn weightlifting no matter your age. The coach/owner will help you. If you are a parent like me who has kids that are interested in weightlifting, have your kids join the team. Start them with a good strong foundation. As the team parent, I look forward to workout with you in this gym while we wait for our weightlifting athlete finish their daily training session. You can also go next door to the brewery and have a beer while waiting. If you have really small kids or other kids not interested in lifting... they have a bouncy house and a swim school next door to keep them entertained for the next 2 hours. I am so excited for the future of this gym and for the future of junior weightlifting athletes that come through here. Keep an eye on this weightlifting team and follow us on Instagram and FaceBook. Follow this gym @crossfitchoptank and discover their athletes. #teamchoptank #choptankathlete #choptankathletes #choptankparents

How can a "Crossfit" box receive a 1 star rating...by having a micro-managing owner, that's how. I…read morewill start by saying that the Crossfit Coach, at the time, was exceptional with his programming, encouraging words, and helpful attitude. I would have loved to stay at this box for years to come but the owner, Anthony Hernandez, is none of those to the crossfitters. He micro-managed by saying what music we could listen to, the temperature of the box (it would be so hot that you thought you would puke during the warm up), whether the bay doors could be open, and he's not much of a truth teller. He told us on multiple occasions that equipment and upgrades to the box were coming and none of that happened. He did get bikes and rowers but we were promised more rig and the floor to be finished. I can attest that the bathrooms were not cleaned or if they were it was very infrequent. We had to bring in our own hand soap, had to remind him constantly about paper towels to dry our hands, there is no water fountain/station to fill our bottles so we took it upon ourselves to bring in cases of water for the entire box to use. We brought our own chalk, white board markers, equipment....and none of that was appreciated. Never a thank you. He didn't want anyone else to have a key to the place even though it was a hassle for him to make it during the offered class times (there was a time he didn't make it at all and said it was traffic, we checked and there was none - liar!). He is not one to talk face-to-face about issues, he would give all the bad news to the coach to deliver. When the head coach wasn't there, he would have to "coach" and it was pretty much us warming up on our own and talking about the workout on our own. What's even worst is that, if you ever go against him by say cancelling a membership, he will make sure you can't come to his facility (who wants to go back) and block you on social media. People warned us of this guy before but nobody listened. I'm glad that I moved to Choptank b/c I was able to develop a good friendship with the other athletes and coach. If the owner didn't micro-manage, he could have had a thriving Crossfit facility.
