Last week at Merritt Club, I had one of the best gym experiences I’ve had in a long time. I was finishing up my workout when I bumped into Parrish, one of the trainers there. He greeted me with the kind of positive energy that instantly lifts the room, and before I knew it, we were talking shop about training and technique.

I mentioned I’d been trying to improve my form on a few lifts, and Parrish didn’t hesitate—he stepped in with some simple but game-changing tips. He broke everything down in a way that was easy to apply, and within minutes I could feel the difference in how efficiently I was moving. He even showed me a couple of warm-up cues that made my next set smoother than ever.

What stood out most was how genuine he was. No pressure, no ego—just real knowledge and a willingness to help someone get better.

I left Merritt that day not only with a better workout, but with a reminder of how much a great trainer can elevate the entire gym experience.

Long time (inconsistent) member here. Owings Mills location is a great 24 hour gym with just about everything you need. Always clean. Always great service. Thanks to Caleb for the after-hours assist last night; I really appreciated that!!

Coach Parrish was incredible—knowledgeable, supportive, and truly dedicated to helping me grow. He pushed me beyond my limits while still making sure I was comfortable and understood proper form. Most importantly, he helped build my confidence throughout the process.

If you’re looking for a committed and effective trainer, ask for Coach P!

It is a very good pool experience but I don’t get why adults have there own swim time we come all the time and we don’t wanna wait 15minutes every time we come like adults can swim with the kids if it is that big of deal then make a adult pool

I am visiting my father from out of town and wanted a space to exercise. I came to Merritt and was greeted by Tom at the front desk. Super kind gentleman who got me set up with a guest pass for the week. The gym is nice, clean and has plenty of equipment to use. I don't know what time "rush hour" is, but I'm leaving at 4pm and there are less than 20 members here. This is definitely one of the best experiences I've had at a gym.

Love this gym overall, great equipment and spaces. But getting stopped mid-workout for wearing crocs when I’ve seen others come in with them on or even no socks at all? If footwear policing is gonna be a thing, at least hand out citations at the door.

This is place is great for what it is. It is definitely not the nicest or fanciest Merritt Club, but it's the only 24/7 one. It's always clean, and always has friendly people at night working out. This is probably my favorite Merritt Club outside of Cranbrook(which closed).

First off started out with the positive, the women's bathrooms are always very clean which I appreciate. Most of the employees there are friendly.
But ....... The employees there NEVER ever approach people that are SLAMMING weights.
This happens every time I'm there. Other her members are looking over at the person slamming the weights, like really dude?? It's beyond annoying.
There is a thing called gym etiquette!

For anyone considering joining the Merritt in Owings Mills, please give this a read. I became a member at Merritt almost 15 years ago. When I joined they were offering a promotion that the first and last months were free. I moved away a few months ago so I went in to cancel my membership and to make sure they honored the contract that was signed. I spoke directly to Jennifer, an Asst GM at the location, and she said they did not have anything on file for this and they would need to contact the back office. I waited nearly a month and sent an email back to Jennifer which was almost 3 months ago at this point. To this day they still have not responded or resolved the $41 credit that they owe me. It is sad to think that a local business is comfortable ignoring a customer who spent money with them for well over a decade, and not honor a contract they agreed to, over $41. I am posting and sharing my story in hope that even a few people read this and decide to take their business elsewhere. Thanks for reading.

Good local gym based on its size. If you’re looking for hundred of pieces of equipment then this location is not for you. If you are tight with the wallet and this is the only location you plan to use, and you do not plan on taking advantage of the other locations that comes with your membership, then this gym is probably not for you.

I enjoy the convenient location and the 24 hour access. This location offers enough equipment to get a nice workout in and to bulk up. My only issue isn’t related to the gym, but those members that lack gym etiquette (talking loud, slamming equipment, not re-racking weights, leaving trash on the floor, etc).

I’d like to share my experience with Nadeen as a PT was the best EVER! Nadeen asked me questions on my areas of concern and delivered a workout that had me wanting to challenge myself more. I appreciate her holding me accountable so that I wouldn’t let our sessions go to waste. I can’t wait to work with her again for new body goals.

This is basically planet fitness if you want to pay more, don't want to go to planet fitness, or don't like the color of planet fitness. 24 hr access but little to no classes. Merritt doesn't seem to care to invest in this place, so I'm not sure why they bought it

This is a decent gym. The women bathroom is always clean and organized. The cardio machines I feel could be updated. I personally do not like that people outside of the gym can see you working out inside of the gym. That’s the only reason I barely come to this gym.

As someone who travels and has moved a lot and thus gone to many gyms, let me tell you this is a top notch gym. Equipment is in great condition and always clean, they are very well equipped with all the machines and free weights you could need, a vast variety of cardio equipment, a great spinning room as well as two other rooms where I assume they give classes (I use them to do my yoga or core classes). The staff is extremely friendly and welcoming (specially Tom), and the gym is never too full nor empty, there's always someone there motivating you to do your exercise. This gym is truly a gem.

Used to be my favorite gym and a safe-haven but it seems the amount of people coming in here tripled from 6 years ago. It's crowded all the time now. People babysit the bench & squat rack and at worst there be like 20 people all lifting weights at the same time so now I have to deal with people lifting near my bubble loudly grunting. Times where it used to be quiet are now crowded times too even now on Sundays which used to be a near empty gym. Every month looks like the January new year craze. Now I have to drive 30 minutes to another spot just to get the same peaceful workout with no one in my damn way.

Lovely gym to workout at if you want to do your own workout. There are few trainers and classes as I am a member at all clubs. I have trained with Tom a few times..however I decided Canton and Fort Ave were a better fit. I am use to being greeted when I come into a gym. There are many times I've seen no one behind the desk or the desk person is in conversations and ignores those walking in. This is unacceptable and the main reason I left. Many people have shared that this person wasn't trained properly and should know how to greet all members. Tom is great but his front desk needs some work and it'd be nice to see more Groupex classes.

Modern Update: in 2021, it's always crowded even at what used to be slow times and most people don't wipe stuff down at all. Most these new people hog up the equipment, sometimes aggressively by rushing back to it if they think someone is about to use it. I've been coming here for 5 years but this year is the worst I've seen outside of the COVID panic shutdown last year of course.

I have been a member for over 10 years and I really liked this gym. I canceled my membership today because masks are not enforced at all... if you are concerned about COVID this is not the place to go. JCC and LifeBridge are a little more expensive but they are following the COVID restrictions and beyond.. You don't have to take my word for it. I recommend that you visit several times during peak times before you join and see how many people actually have a mask on.

We have been members for a while now and love this gym. It is small but has great spaces, good equipment and friendly staff. Ray Kabia is an instructor for a Les Mills BodyPump class on Monday and he is BRILLIANT!!! His class is worth the membership fees on it's own. It is a fantastic all body workout, he has excellent form and makes the workout super fun. The gym is open 24 hours and offers group classes like spinning, bodypump, yoga...etc, their schedules are online. It does not have a pool. I would definitely recommend this gym and the classes.

My husband and I signed for a trial period today and we showed up and the young lady at the front desk said unfortunately we would not be able to use the trial period today. That was fine, but you would think that her customer service skills would kick in and recommend talking to someone about possibly joining or at least giving us a tour around the gym and possibly recruit 2 potential customers. Not going back. I'd rather pay twice as much to a gym with better customer service.

I became a member in 2014 and at that time this gym felt like one big family. The customer service here has spiraled down since the new manager Stacey replaced Denzlow. I've since cancelled my membership and joined No Limits training facility where my business is appreciated. There are far too many facilities in the Owings Mills/Reisterstown area to tolerate poor customer service.
