Old school gym with a huge variety of machines and weights. Personal Trainers are top notch at a fair price, and are helping my wife and I reach our body goals. They guide us safely through all the equipment, have a sharp eye on form and technique, and give us advice on how to best fuel and rest our bodies.

Great gym with excellent array of equipment and polite staff. Unfortunately they have no AC, and in the summer they just run fans with the doors open. I am a big sweater, and got overheated here whenever it was above 85 outside. Had to find a new gym because of this.

This is an excellent gym for beginners or veteran weight lifters. It’s located perfectly near the BWI air port and they offer day passes for anyone looking to get in a workout while visiting the area. The membership fees are affordable unlike other gyms in the area that cost twice as much. There’s a good mix for first responders, military personnel, and everyday people who belong here. From time to time you may even see your favorite WWE wrestlers getting in a workout when they come to town. The staff are always friendly and willing to help whenever you may need them. There’s plenty of equipment and never any wait times to use machines or tred mills.

What I like the most about this gym is the location, ample parking, there’s no crowds standing around talking or people looking at their phones instead of lifting.

Some gyms I’ve been to have numerous people with tripods and cameras constantly filming their workouts which can be annoying. You won’t see that here because everyone who goes here is very serious about their workout which is why so many professional weight lifters both men and women belong here and many of them can be seen in photographs on display all around the workout area.

If you’re looking for a gym or even personal training where you will get results this is the replace for you.

The best gym I have worked out at in Maryland

Source: Google

★ 5

Hands down the best gym I’ve ever been to. I travel a lot so I try different gyms all the time. Nothing compares to this one. All the equipment you could need, it’s all in good shape, nothing is ever out of order. Even when it’s busy, I always seem to be able to use what I need. It’s clean. And the vibe is just unbeatable. It might sound corny, but this is the place to be if you’re serious about working out. There’s a difference between this kind of gym and some of the other big name chain gyms. But as someone who takes their gym time very seriously, I would choose this gym over those other gyms any day of the week.

No heating in the winter, and no AC in the summer. The facility needs to be cleaned.

This is a barebones facility. Cold in the winter and hot in the summer. I am uncertain if there is heating, but there are large fans to blow hot air around. There is little space to maneuver around the equipment. There is a lot of equipment, but also plenty of safety hazards. It isn’t that cleanly. Lots of dust and seems as though the equipment never gets moved around. My friend that brought me here works out at golds from Dec to Apr to get out of the cold. It seems pointless to me to pay for two gym memberships.

I’ve been to more than 75 different gyms all over the country- none of them compare to Powerhouse Gym in Hanover. I began training at Powerhouse Hanover a little over two years ago. In that time, I’ve been able to realize my potential in ways I would not have imagined. The equipment is truly the highlight- especially for legs! Nothing Is broken for longer that a week and they are always adding new equipment which has not been my experience with other gyms I’ve frequented in the DMV area.

While this gym may not have all the bells, whistles, and flashing lights of larger commercial fitness centers, Powerhouse more than meets the needs of new and experienced lifters looking for a solid place to work out and better themselves. I pass three other gyms on on the way to this one because It’s like no other gym.

This Powerhouse is self-made and thrives because the members and staff are invested in cultivating that vision. This gym is not for everyone, but the people who visit end up falling in love with it.

I found this place while cycling and decided to stop in. I spoke with who I believe is the owner. He was personable and let me take a look around. The gym was clean and stacked with plent of equipment, everything appeared to be in working order and newer. I didn't see anyone waiting on equipment. The membership prices seemed very fair to me. They also offer personal training.

Everyone is very friendly. Only area of improvement would be if they cleaned a little bit; vacuum once a week, and clean the bathroom just a little. Not even mop, just a quick vacuuming would do wonders for the cobwebs & cracks between the mats. Overall: I absolutely recommend!

I joined Powerhouse in December 2020 and haven’t looked back since! This was the first non-commercial gym I had been to and It was a total change of scenery for me. The Powerhouse team embraced me and this gym quickly became a home away from home. It’s extremely motivating to be surrounded by so many like minded individuals who are there to put in the work.

In March I started training with CKFit (Chaz). He has pushed me through to new heights and has gotten me in the best shape of my life! I can’t wait to continue to grow with this gym.

Everyone at this gym is really nice. Great customer service and they have a ton of good equipment. Things that’s hard to find at other gyms they have . Btw their aren’t any weird creeps, if your a girl worried about that, you should be safe. They have a ton of freeweights, a whole selection of leg equipment, a couple squat racks , a good amount of bench racks and good powerlifting equipment. THIS gym is more centered for people who lift and like powerlifting I mean the name is powerhouse. They do have really nice treadmills but their are limited cardio equipment because the gym is centered towards lifting. The bathrooms are clean, checked on regularly. If this gym is in your area, I recommend coming here, I was really impressed.

I visited this gym with my church's fitness group. We did a bootcamp session. The session was fun and encouraging. The fitness trainer was friendly and knowledgeable. He made you feel comfortable no matter what your fitness level was. The gym has a large selection of workout equipment. I didn't get a chance to use any of the equipment as I was only there for the bootcamp. I was surprise to find the parking lot crowded at 8:00am. I was able to get the last parking spot close to the gym.

What a terrible gym. The trainers that work in this gym work for themselves...I saw Kristin. She is a total con artist, bullies you into buying gym sessions with her for a very unreasonable price and then on top of that a $25 a month membership to the actual gym. After being bullied by Kristin to buy these sessions telling me that "I need to give her a months notice if I don't plan on buying more sessions bc she counts on this money to pay her mortgage and bills" I am not responsible for her mortgage. The reason I was not buying more sessions was bc I was having trouble with my own bills and needed a break from the close to 1,000 a month trainer/gym. A wk after buying my first sessions (mid month) and spending around 700 she came to me telling me I needed to purchase more bc the ones I had wouldn't get me all the way to the end of the following month. I work as a hair stylist/eyelash extensionist in a commission based job I can't imagine telling one of my eyelash clients she needs to tell me a month in advance of she doesn't plan on coming anymore bc "I count on her money". It's the nature of the business you lose some you gain some. She is totally unprofessional but the unprofessionalism runs clear across the board. I called the gym to tell them I would no longer be coming and to stop charging my card they said I needed to come down and cancel I could not do it over the phone. The credit card I used was then stolen so they could not longer take their automatic (rip off) payments out. I thought it was a dead issue and moved on. I get a phone call from a lawyers office informing me that this info was sent to her and I owe 105$ to pay for the months where my card was declined (you know the months I was not going). Bad business all around. The gym isn't nice it's a warehouse with a bunch of weight machines. Stay away from Kristen and stay away from powerhouse. Do yourself a favor and find a reputable trainer.

The gym itself (in terms of equipment and space) is totally sufficient and actually quite good for a thorough work out. My negative review is in regard to their "free" "child care". I will explain why I say "free" later, but will address the chidcare first.

I had a positive experience through late 2014 when I attended the gym, particularly with the child care worker they had employed. After a brief hiatus I returned in early 2015. The new child care worker wasn't as good, but seemed okay. That was until one day I found that she had been sitting on her phone in the lobby simply watching (between texts I imagine) the children through a glass door. I came back at the end of my workout to find that my son had pooped in his pants and been left in it the entire time. This was no doubt due to her not actually doing her job. After this incident I cancelled my membership.

I found the next month I had been charged again. After inquiring I was told there's a 30 day cancellation policy and wouldn't refund me. I brought up the reason for my departure to which I was given the reply "Well, you weren't really paying for childcare services". I asked what the rep meant and she said that it was extra and I wasn't paying. This went entirely against what I was told when signing up and nothing in the contract ever said otherwise.

All that said, given the poor management and the shifty nature of the owner on this matter, I give it 1 star. To me HOW a business is run and by WHOM with what character is just as important as the service they provide. I have filed a BBB complaint which is pending
