The Wellness center is right on the Baltimore hike and Bike trail, so you can hike, bike, horseback ride, tube, canoe, kayak or swim on the train on in the Gunpowder river, and then eat vegetarian, organic food. They even make snow cones with healthy syrups! They have great ice cream as well. My favorite is their baklava, made by their mom. One night as I sipped my ginger beer a woman walked in, picked up a big bag and walked out. Come to find out that many busy people pay monthly for 5 dinners a week, stop in on their way home from dinner and pick up their pre-ordered, or surprise meal.

Bikram is one of those things that I pick up whenever I'm close enough to a studio, but end up doing very intermittently because there just aren't that many studios near me usually. This studio is one of the better ones that I've been to, and I'm really enjoying working through my new student month. A few things that I most enjoy: 1. Instructor variety. I had Tina and David as my instructors for my first few classes, and I like how each instructor has their own take on the class and adds variety while remaining within the traditional Bikram format. 2. Clean, modern studio. The heat is evenly distributed, the floors are clean, hygienic laminate wood (I never take the floor for granted. A studio near my hometown uses carpet...carpet in a Bikram studio...just let that sink in for a moment.) There are showers available with a hairdryer if needed, and the facilities are all spotless. This is one of the most important factors for me. 3. Nice range of packages for people who may need different things--a very affordable new student month, high school and college packages, different class packages, etc. This is essential to making Bikram accessible to people and I appreciate it very much. The location is convenient and there is always plenty of parking. I leave feeling great and fully worked out. My only regret is that I didn't find this place sooner. Highly recommend.

I really just wish they offered more classes, especially on weekends! I don't live locally but visit my parents here often, and if I oversleep or miss the one Saturday class, they have no other opportunities to go. That said, if you're local, they have a good after-work class times and Laurie is a really good teacher. I've never had a problem with parking, and there's a pizza place nearby if you want to undo all the good you just did for your body!

I have been a client here for nearly two years and feel the massage therapists working here are…read moreoverall very skilled and professional. You can't go wrong with any of them and they're the real reason to visit this massage studio. The massage rooms and tables are extremely comfortable, the bathrooms are sparkling clean, and the float tanks are a really cool experience as well. There is a beautiful sauna area that's very Instagram worthy. All of the areas where you receive a service feel very serene, spa-like, and upscale. Meredith is a lovely person and makes really good use of aromatherapy and long holds or pauses in her massage that make you feel super relaxed and zen. She is certified in pregnancy massage and does a great job. Marcus has super strong hands, is ideal to see if you're looking for deep tissue massage, and makes good use of hot stones and warm towels. Ben is great as well, did some passive stretching along with the massage for tight areas. Karen seems to intuitively know the perfect amount of pressure to use and does the best head and face massage ever. My only complaint, and it's a minor one, is that the entrance and waiting area you sit in prior to your massage/float doesn't really match the atmosphere of the other rooms. I think it's a little too kitsch and cluttered and reminds me of walking into a small store that feels very casual and doesn't have the ambiance of the massage rooms. Unfortunately not very "Instagram worthy". There's a lot of stuff for sale that isn't directly related to massage or even wellness, such as bohemian style clothing, silver jewelry, wind chimes, etc. The Speakeasy room has relatively uncomfortable seating (there are two firm, backless benches and just two chairs with a low back), more displays of non-massage related things for sale (such as non alcoholic refrigerated drinks, candies, books, artwork, etc.), large displays of business cards and fliers for other local businesses, and dark furniture which just makes the room feel small and cluttered. You sort of feel like you are waiting in a shop rather than being a member at an upscale massage and wellness studio. The self serve tea display is really, really nice but just gets lost in the clutter/decor/fliers. And my only other gripe is that the infrared sauna is preset to a really, really high temperature (maybe higher than spa saunas I have used elsewhere) and I was told it doesn't allow for adjustments. I was excited to use the sauna but couldn't tolerate it more than a few minutes at a time. During my sauna session I simply had to exit the sauna every few minutes to cool off a bit. I realize this is maybe because I am a sauna newbie but I do wish there was an "intro to sauna" setting for those like me to use. In summary: great services, great massage therapists, kitschy entryway/waiting area design which is absolutely not a dealbreaker

Sol is as good as it gets. To preface, I've been practicing (and just recently got RYT-200…read morecertified) for 10+ years. Having been to many studios over the years, I've become quite discerning. Yoga isn't cheap and I'm picky about where I practice yoga for that reason. Much of my practice takes place at home but that's about to change now that I moved to Frederick. Stopped in over the weekend to give Sol a try and purchased the 2-week new student special for $25. I've taken two classes already, gentle yoga and a vinyasa flow (all levels). Wonderful vibe, excellent instructors, tons of class offerings/workshops and reasonable prices. They offer all sorts of options; if you're not interested in packages you can drop in and they offer discounted rates for some of their classes, just check the schedule. You can pay online or in person. I love that they offer complementary hot tea, by local tea shop Voila which is only minutes down the road. I've reviewed them as well (5 stars.. amazing tea). Not only am I so happy to now be living in Frederick, but the icing on the cake is that I have a wonderful yoga studio I can come to all the time to help me sustain my personal practice. Helpful tip: there's a parking lot in the back, it's on the left side of Patrick St right before you get to Sol. It's free :)

I'd never done yoga before but I figured pre-natal classes wouldn't be too hard since we fatsos can't move too quickly. Well, the instructors make sure you move and change poses carefully but that doesn't mean you don't get a workout! Particularly after Keri's class, I left with sore muscles and feeling like I'd had my first real workout in months! The front desk staff is very friendly and you can rent mats or buy water there. They also offer tea, which is a nice touch. If you're worried about your class filling up, making resevations via the online system is a breeze. I don't have other studios to compare Sol Yoga to but the rooms are large so that people aren't jammed in next to each other. The building also has its own parking lot in back which is almost unheard of in downtown Frederick. Namaste!
