The classes are great with dedicated instructors. The staff are inviting and there's plenty of equipment for you to get that 8 pack....lol! This gym is cost effective, has plenty of parking and never too packed. read more

They gym itself is fine. It's not luxurious but adequate. My concern is with the difficulty in cancelling. After a year with them I decided to cancel. When I called them, they gave me a number I had to call....it was a separate company. That was Red Flag #1 that they were about to give me a hard time. Long story short, it took multiple phone calls and close to 2 hours to get through to the company that they use to cancel through. That was Red Flag #2. Red Flag #3 was when they informed me that to leave the gym/cancel, I had to fill in a survey form. They emailed me the form and it was nonsense. I had to explain to them why I was leaving the gym. Really? Am I not free to leave? Am I required to keep paying them my money every month? Red Flag #4 was when I realized that they would not immediately cancel. They told me that I had to give them 30 days notice and of course pay one last time. Never again! 4 Red Flags are more than enough! read more

Their door says they close at 7pm, google and their website says 5pm. Just went there at 4pm and they were closed. Things like this that makes it hard to look past their subpar equipment. read more

Update: they have fixed torn paddings for benches and strength machines. New cardio machines are slowly being implemented and new strength training machines are replacing older ones, so a good sign so far. Staff is more attentive too I have noticed. read more

See all

The gym lives up to its name FITNESS 4 LESS. OK, I was really excited to see a new fitness facility in the Bowie area, especially one open 24/7. The gym itself is not bad. The equipment is new and the layout workable. I was ready to join until I was given a tour by the sales guy. He basically walked me around the gym and asked me to sign a contract. He never explained what type of classes the gym offered what special sessions or personal training are available. He never showed me the locker room. There is no area dedicated for stretching or abds . When I asked about a VIP pass (which the web site states you can do) he told me they don't do that. When I asked to take the contract home to read he told me he could not allow that. If the gentlemen is an example of your staff, I will stay at Gold's in fairwood. I guess you get what you pay for. read more

Fitness 4 Less must have changed their membership prices recently. I was thinking about joining until the gym salesman or whatever you call them, was trying to get me on contract for $50 dollars a month, trying to force the "extra facilities" in the gym that I didn't need. No options were given until I asked for them, then they started to take the prices down. Just give people the $19.99 price first! The second downfall of this gym is, its only 1 freakin location! Nope! You're better off going to Gold's gym read more

Ok, first off let me start off by saying I've only been a member of F4L for about 3 months now....with that being said, I have absolutely loved it so far! The people there are very friendly (shout out to Torrey, Dione, and all the girls that help out in the play room!) and I love the fact that there's no "gymtimidation"! There are people there from ALL kinds of different fitness backgrounds and no one ever makes you feel out of place! I've tried numerous classes (kickboxing, zumba, butts and guts, etc) and I've loved them all! I also have the functional training added to my membership which I absolutely love as well. I like the fact that the FT classes are offered during various times of the day (morning and evening classes). Also, being the mother of a 4 year old, I think that the BEST part of it all is that they offer FREE child care services! And my daughter thinks all of the girls that help out there are amazing! Sorry but I have to throw in a couple of gripes....my first one would be that I would LOVE if some sort of Sunday class(es) was/were offered.....and as silly/small as it sounds, it would be great if mirrors could be put in the shower rooms! That's all! read more

I would not recommend this gym. The staff turnover rate is very high, which suggests poor management. The atmosphere is non-existent, with the place being empty every single time I've attended. Knowing several former employees who have had trouble receiving paychecks was the final straw for this gym. Since there are other gyms to choose from, I would have to go with a gym which treats its staff well. Their lack of morale is obvious, which isn't ideal for a place where attitudes mean a lot. I would not support any business with such management practices. read more

We joined this gym before it moved to the new location. We put up with broken equipment while the new facility was being finished. The opening of the new gym was delayed repeatedly but we stuck by them anyway. The new gym opened with used spin bikes that are in constant need of repair. Some of the trainers are great and at least two are ACE certifiied. One other trainer is certified with another organization and he's very good. There are other so-called trainers that are more interested in showing off than working with the clients. I've become concerned about some young men who come to the gym to work with very heavy weights and are performing the excercises with no supervision at all and they don't seem to be performing the exerciss properly and are droppping and throwing weights on the floor. This is a gym opened for all fitness levels and there is a kids center on site. These heavy lifters need to be trained so that they don't harm themselves or others and they need to know and abide by appropriate rules of conduct. Management needs to pay attention to the condition of all equipment and either repair them promptly or replace them when, as with the spin bikes, they prove to be unreliable. They need to make certain that they watch for individuals who pass themselves off as trainers. They have a loyal client base that is getting more and more frustrated and some, like me, are considering dropping membership for a better managed facility. Here are some good points. The members are friendly and very diverse. There are classes that are great for all fitness levels such as Tone and Muscle Conditioning, Yoga. The facility is cleaned constantly and the staff at the front desk is the best. There are signs of new programs such as Tabahta and TRX. The certified trainers are friendly and very professional which makes up for the ones that are only there to "strut their stuff". I really hope thibngs improve greatly. read more

My wife and I joined fitness 4 less about a month ago. There is a small group of members who lift heavy weights who yell across the gym at and to each other, they take photos of each other with cell phones and change the atmosphere of the gym. When i complained to management, they laughed and blew them off. There are several other gyms in the area to chose from. Stay away. read more

Although, the original facility was not a place I would recommend, the newly renovated Fitness 4 Less in Bowie is a superb, workout facility I enjoy going to 5-6 times a week. The front office always greets you with a smile. There are new lockers installed, changing/shower rooms, and tanning beds. Furthermore, I am so happy that they have a number of classes to offer like yoga or zumba, and I've signed up for the boxing bootcamp as well. It is absolutely affordable, and there's an area where I can stretch and do ab work as well. On the days I want to do cardio and lift weights, machines are readily available as there are several of each: elliptical, treadmill, and bike (there's also a number of free weights available). All of the trainers are friendly and willingly help with any questions I may have, especially Stacy, Mitch, and Marcus - and they have been instrumental to my weight loss plan! There's also a room for kids to wait until mom/dad are done with their workout - I've seen a lot of members utilize this and it's very convenient. read more

WATCH OUT FOR THE FEES! it might be called fitness4less but they get you with Cancellation and ridiculous fees even after 1 YEAR of being a member. read more

I joined this gym in early December 2017 in the Capital Heights location because it was close to my house and it was a 24-hour gym. The first week I began using the gym I was told by a staff member that they were no longer 24-hours on the weekend and that they closed at 9pm Saturday and Sunday. Working out on a late weekday in mid January I was told by the owner/manager that the location in Capital Heights would no longer maintain 24-hour service hours. Approximately one week later I was notified by a mutual friend that the Capital Height location had closed. Bare in mind the club never informed me of the closure and continued to bill me monthly. Fitness4less has to be the worst fitness club I have ever joined. I had to call several people at least a dozen times to cancel my membership (I hope they don't bill me again). I would recommend not joining this club. The management arbitrarily changes its service hours and will not honor its contractual agreements upon joining. read more

Beware when signing up for a membership at this gym! The front desk staff will tell you anything you want to hear just to get you to sign the contract, then you're locked in. I am military, so it was important for me to be able to cancel my contract due to my orders changing. The guy at the front desk assured me that I would be able to cancel my contract without any penalties, this was entirely false. I am currently living in a different state (over 150 miles away) still paying off my contract for a gym that I can never use. According to the contract moving is not a good reason to cancel your contract, you will have to pay out your contract in full before you can cancel it. In fact, the only way to break your contract agreement is to provide proof that you have become physically disabled! I would HIGHLY suggest to anyone to go to a gym like planet fitness where there are no contracts and terms of agreement that bind you to a gym. Also, chose a gym where the front desk staff understands their own contract and can sell it to you without lying to your face. read more

all i can say about this gym is by far they have the worst staff ever. you will have bad customer service after after after you sign in and they get your money. bad attitude from all yes all the staff there, this is a place for those people (staff) to feed their egos. i canceled my membership with them i should've read the reviews before i left my old gym but you know what live and learn. read more
