If you’re into breathing in years of dust and visible mold, this might be your spot. Look up and you’ll see an open concrete ceiling coated with thick dust layered on vents and fans like some kind of prehistoric sediment. The tops of the walls? Mold. Clearly not recent—this is the result of long-term neglect.

I spilled a bit of water and wiped it up—what came off the floor was so dirty, it looked like I’d cleaned a chimney. Safe to say a mop hasn’t made an appearance here in a long while.

The equipment is no better: old, worn, and borderline unsafe. It’s like the gym is stuck in time, slowly decaying while the owner quietly collects dues and avoids maintenance at all costs.

This place doesn’t feel like a gym. It feels like an abandoned warehouse that someone left treadmills in. I wouldn’t recommend it unless you’re current on your tetanus shot and enjoy working out in filth.

Usually, I have a pretty well experience when attending SMAC Fitness Gym. I’ve never experienced any problems entering except when one associate is working in particular. This associate, Loretta, has been the only associate to consistently ask for my ID, after already having previous copies of it, and make me completely fill out the day pass form. Every time I attend this gym, usually, I’d ask for a day pass, the worker would then ask me to simply print my name at the top and sign at the bottom due to majority of the time, being recognized since I go often. No other employee has asked for my ID upon entry except for Loretta. The couple of negative experiences I’ve had at this gym, specifically with entering, have always been with Loretta and has led me to believe it has something to do with my skin color.

Prices are higher than the chain gyms but I would rather support a small local business. Over all the gym stays extremely clean. They stay on top of 90% the equipment maintenance. The vanity in the men’s bathroom will get your feet since it has no toe kick.

This is truly a community fitness center who cares more about their members then just making a profit. My Mom passed away and I came back to Southern Maryland to help my Dad and family. That being said in the midst of a rough time in our lives, I needed to work out to relieve stress after going non-stop for a month. I called to see if I could get a temporary pass and I would gladly pay for me and my wife. To my surprise they gave us a complimentary pass for our last week at home and condolences for Mom's passing. As a 27 year military Retiree, Chopticon High Graduate and resident of Golden Beach MD in my youth, I couldn't have felt more proud to have come from St Mary's County MD that day. The SMAC Staff is friendly, loving and do a great job maintaing the fitness center. I give this place my highest recommendation! Thank you and God Bless to All the SMAC Staff. God bless, SMSgt Tom Hartswick, USAF (R) CSAR

They're a bunch of racist especially the one in Leonardtown. I tried a 3 month membership once in Leonardtown but the way they treated me like I was beneath them. So I never went back after 1 month.

Went to this gym last week with a family friend I was visiting from out of town. I had to pay $10 to workout for 30 minutes. It seemed pretty over priced. The gym was clean and nice though. I don't think I will be coming back because it was so expensive.

I'd list all the things I like about this gym but then you'd be reading a three book trilogy that would make the lord of the rings author blush, so I'll keep it as brief as possible. [Not really, buckle up folks]

Pros:

-Community - I'm pretty sure ever member here either works together or went to high school together. Everyone is extremely friendly and you'll get that home town vibe here.

-Atmosphere - Ok yea there's air conditioning but it's only there to prevent mold and move stagnate air. You're going to sweat if you push yourself but you're not going to die like you're in a hot yoga class.

-Variety - Looking for dozens of ways to blow out those muscle groups? Look no further. While it's not the biggest gym you've ever been to, it makes use of its space by providing plenty of free weights and machines. Best of all, it's pretty organized so you're not going to trek across the gym to find different leg workouts.

-Management - Hands down some of the best people run this place. They great you by your first name, offer advice if asked for, and stay pretty professional at all times. You'll be very happy with your decision if you chose to workout here because they'll treat you like a welcomed guest and not another body that contributes to their bottom line.

Cardio / Aerobics - Everyone knows cardio is hardio and nothing is more demoralizing than a crowded cardio area. I can promise you that you'll rarely, if ever at all wait for a cardio machine to open up. Theirs plenty of variety and machines to go around. As far as aerobics go, they have plenty of classes scheduled and virtual classes are about to be a thing soon. While I don't personally use the area, it's private, clean, and when classes are going on the music is going loud and it looks like they go pretty hard in the paint. Never the less the class members are always smiling at the end when I do see them leaving.

Cons:

It's kinda quite - I'd make sure to bring your headphones. The music is pretty low so if you like grunts and clanking weights then add this to the pros section.

Water fountain - Alright I'm just being picky here but it would be cool if it had one of those newer fountains that let you place your blender bottle under it and fills your bottle up in like...5 seconds. It's whatever. It's got a basic water fountain.

To conclude, this is a fantastic gym with a small town feel to it. It doesn't really get too packed, even during the peek 3-6pm time. You'll always find something to use. I'm military and have lived all over the country and you can trust me when I say this: It's one of the best gyms I've been to. It's very easy to over train yourself because you'll always look forward to working out here. Take the leap and join. You won't regret it.

This is the absolute best gym I have ever belonged to! Membership prices are totally reasonable, and you get so much for your money! Plenty of cardio equipment - I can always find an elliptical or treadmill when I go. Great variety and number of weight machines and free weights. Everything is clean and well-looked after, and if something breaks, it's fixed very quickly. Bathrooms are spacious and clean. Really sad to be moving and losing this gym.

Just wanted say how impressed I am with the management at world gym in Mechanicsville. I have had several concerns and the management has went well above the call of duty to make sure my needs and concerns were met. Very friendly and outgoing as well. The atmosphere is great for getting the most out of your workout. Locker room and showers are clean. When you walk through the door the staff says good am. A positive atmosphere very important to a great work out. Many times I see the owner using this gym this means he is aware and not passive about management. Equipment is quickly repaired or replaced if not working. Thank you World Gym Mechanicsville! Keep up the great work!
Sincerely
ALLEN CLARK
