Annapolis Athletic Club

Fantastic experience: Great place. I just started and am looking forward to the experience

Fantastic experience: After the tragedy of Annapolis in 2018, I needed a place to go to work off my upset. The yoga classes at the Annapolis athletic club were a Godsend. The teachers were terrific, the location was easy, the locker room was always clean and the staff was professional and friendly. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Love this gym and the team that works there!

Fantastic experience: Great training staff and up to date facility. Would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff and nice facility! Really enjoy their yoga classes. Lots of room and great instructors!

Fantastic experience: I want to send a “shout out” to one of my favorite fitness centers, the Annapolis Athletic Club (AAC) and their fitness director/instructor Karen Trassati. I thoroughly enjoy being an AAC member. Karen is the best total body fitness instructor around. She brings a level of enthusiasm and energy to her class that leaves you motivated and inspired. More importantly, she’s a fundamentally good person. She manages to totally explain all critical aspects of each exercise. From proper body form, engagement and safety, while performing all exercises with us and using her body as a visual aid to ensure we are getting it right and doing it right. Her infectious laughter and oversized personality leave us totally exhausted from the work, amazed at what we have done and feeling good because she made it enjoyable (even though it’s with a lot of discomfort (lol)). You’ll also enjoy the people you meet in your classes at AAC. Really nice folks. And when our collective energy comes together, it affirms that old cliché, “The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.” For that one hour, I feel like I’m a part of something really special. And I appreciate this feeling that Karen and the group gives each and every one of us. I highly recommend AAC and especially Karen’s fitness classes. You won’t be disappointed. They also have some great yoga instructors. Gretchen teaches Kundalini Yoga on Saturdays and Sundays. Once she deposits her yoga inspiration on your heart, it’s there to stay. And that’s a good thing (lol). In short, Excellent Fitness Center, Great Staff, Good people. That’s a win-win-win.

Fantastic experience: Up until December 2023, when I moved from Annapolis, I was a member since before the gym actually opened it's doors. I was there 5-6 days a week and worked at the gym for about a year after retiring. I now live in SC, and in researching the gyms here, have not found one that offers the classes that AAC does.

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere, very clean and great staff. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Great space with a great staff!

Fantastic experience: I appreciate the staff and the attention to cleanliness.

Fantastic experience: Best team of yoga leaders in Maryland

Fantastic experience: Good gym for me, not crowded when I go, great classes at the right midmorning time, and very nice helpful staff and trainers. Would recommend it.

Fantastic experience: Personal training is excellent. Rene keeps me on target for my workouts that I do alone Very encouraging staff

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of AAC since 2003. It is an excellent club with many helpful trained trainers and a good selection of classes from spin, ballet bar, and others. Karen Trasatti, the head trainer, is the very best. The equipment is top notch. The club is very clean. The locker room, showers and restrooms are always spotless. The class instructors are the very best. As a nice touch, it has a restful area where you can get coffee and tea to relax with friends or read the WP that they provide. Joan Arnold

Positive experience: Improvements very nice.

Fantastic experience: Have everything you’d need from a gym plus steamroom/sauna/showers in locker room are great

Positive experience: Fantastic gym, love it here! 4 stars because they don’t open until 7am on weekends (not sure why 5am or even 6am isn’t possible)

Fantastic experience: Wonderful club with great facilities, personal trainers and group exercise classes. First class staff.

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love Annapolis athletic club. The instructors are all amazing. The classes start on time and they end on time. They have a great variety of classes and equipment.

Positive experience: Nice but should have a lower monthly rate for weights and trainer machines only. Like other clubs in Annapolis. If not soon I’m moving on

Fantastic experience: Annapolis Athletic Club is definitely the best gym in Annapolis, probably the best in Anne Arundel County. It is clean, has plenty of space, has an outdoors area, really nice people, and a very community oriented atmosphere. Whenever I go there, I feel at home.

Fantastic experience: The variety of classes is excellent. The instructors are among my best friends. I really like the camaraderie of the club members. Finally, the facility and equipment are first class. I highly recommend this Club. If you have any problems (which is unlikely) they will resolve them quickly and to your satisfaction.

Fantastic experience: Annapolis Athletic Club is not just a place to work out; it's a haven for both fitness enthusiasts and those seeking rejuvenation -- the integration of a spa within the gym's facilities adds a whole new dimension to the fitness experience. The gym itself boasts state-of-the-art equipment, meticulously organized workout areas, and a variety of classes catering to all fitness levels. Whether you're into high-intensity training, yoga, or Pilates (yes, they have reformers!), there's something for everyone here. The trainers are not only knowledgeable but also genuinely invested in helping you reach your fitness goals. What sets AAC apart is its luxurious spa facilities. After an intense workout session, I love indulging in the spa's amenities, which include sauna and even an incredible eucalyptus room. The spa area maintains the same high standards of cleanliness and hygiene as the rest of the gym, ensuring a safe and relaxing experience for all members. The staff are attentive and courteous, making sure every aspect of your visit is enjoyable. The ambiance of AAC is serene and inviting, providing a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Whether you're looking to sweat it out in the gym or melt away stress in the spa, this establishment offers the best of both worlds. AAC is more than just a gym; it's a holistic wellness and fitness destination. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comprehensive fitness and relaxation experience.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic online classes, always inspiring!

Fantastic experience: Awesome trainers, great equipment, super clean, a host of classes. Simply the best.

Fantastic experience: Great weightroom, nice people, friendly staff. Love the classes, especially spin. I've been a member since 2008, really enjoy the club.

Fantastic experience: I do personal training with Rene Velado and he is the best! All the staff is very friendly. The locker room could use some updating, but generally a great place to work out!

Fantastic experience: Dec.2023. After searching Annapolis for the best YOGA classes, the most up-to-date exercise equipment, the newest Spin bikes, the best well rounded trainers, the best variety of exercise classes, the cleanest gym and the best monthly price ... Annapolis Athletic Club was at the top of the list. AAC wins hands down!

Fantastic experience: Been a member since the club opened its doors. Equipment pleentiful and well maintained. Clubis immaqulate. with loyal caring personell Front desk manned by pleasant helpful individual who easily remembers members names andvery gracious.Recomm Bit expensive but worth the cost for first class experience as amember Recent renovation has been keeping the high standards intact.

Fantastic experience: Annapolis Athletic Club has a variety of excellent well maintained equipment, clean pleasant locker room facilities, and most importantly a friendly, helpful and well qualified staff. My spouse and I are frequent users when we are in Annapolis. AAC compares very favorably with other such facilities in my experience. Millard Firebaugh

Fantastic experience: Best gym I've ever joined. It's incredibly clean, they have a dedicated janitorial staff that are always cleaning. The gym is continuously adding new or improving existing classes. Staff are extremely friendly, some even go out of their way to make you smile on certain holidays. Well managed and very spacious.

Fantastic experience: I work out with Eileen my personal trainer 2 days a week and I work out with Mary my Pilates teacher the other 2 days a week! Both are phenomenal teachers. They are knowledgeable, hardworking and truly dedicated to their clients. I get massages from Amanda who is truly an amazing masseuse. She is better than any 5 star hotel. I hope under new management these women are valued and appreciated for all they do. I also want to give a shout out to Alex who has worked at the front desk for years. He welcomes guests with his contagious upbeat personality and is always willing to help!!

Fantastic experience: Great facility and great trainers.

Fantastic experience: Love my workouts with Luke and the cleaners do an amazing job!

Fantastic experience: AAC is always clean and the instructors are knowledgeable and helpful. I recommend the AAC.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend AAC. It is a very welcoming atmosphere with terrific instructors & classes.

Fantastic experience: I like the club very much. Always a good experience. One suggestion: I would love to have a few Peloton bikes in the club!

Fantastic experience: I've been a member of AAC for a long time. At least long enough to not know how many years it's been. I've transformed my body and my self confidence on the advice of trainers like Karen Trasati and Rene Velado. Rene is my age so he understands the needs and limitations of a middle aged guy. I've made so many friends at AAC that when someone tells me to change gyms, I just respond "not happening".

Fantastic experience: Great club. Clean. well maintained. Excellent group and fitness instructors. Great classes. Everyone is very friendly.

Fantastic experience: AAC is a home away from home. From the front office staff to the trainers, classes, and the facilities….it is the best. It’s truly your neighborhood gym.

Fantastic experience: The Ripped & Ready class helped me achieve my fitness goals!!!! Thanks go a great trainer and a great crew to hold each other accountable. Annapolis Athletic Club is more than a gym. The trainers and members are fantastic at creating the feeling of community.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member for years and have enjoyed the club very much. Very clean. Friendly staff. I especially enjoy the sauna and steam rooms. Membership price is reasonable compared to other gyms with similar amenities.

Positive experience: This is reasonable fitness club. The team is very friendly and there is enough equipment for everyone to get a great workout. Recently remodeled and under new ownership, I hope there is a continued commitment to acquire new and varied equipment.

Fantastic experience: Love AAC. Everyone is so nice and it's a low key gym experience. Everyone works hard and the trainers are so nice. Great equipment and newly renovated.

Positive experience: I’ve been a member for about ten years. The remodel is great. Classes are good. My only complaint is that, besides Alex at the front desk, there’s just not much interaction between staff and members. They just aren’t very friendly or helpful. There’s a lot of opportunity for improvement there.

Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough about AAC! Karen does an incredible job with the Boot Camp which I have taken four times and Eileen offers excellent personal training as well as a kick butt Boot Camp on Fridays. I really enjoy the body pump classes from Bill and the recent remodel was a nice refresh. Great people great equipment great environment. Love my gym.!!!

Fantastic experience: Wonderful club to belong to. Great employees, clean environment, excellent instructors providing a variety of classes, super personal trainers! I would not want to go anywhere else for my fitness training!

Fantastic experience: Fabulous gym with friendly and knowledgeable trainers and instructors. Very clean, inclusive and safe to work out in and the staff and cleaning crew do a wonderful job with the day to day running of the gym. Would highly recommend it! Our family has been members for years!

Fantastic experience: I've been a member of AAC for over 7 years, enjoying all the club has to offer: great group classes and instructors, pilates sessions, fantastic trainers, new weight machines, free weights and treadmills. The lockers and other amenities are always clean, and replenished, thanks to the attendants. Always greeted at the front desk by name, and the coffee adds another friendly, social atmosphere. All this helps me feel younger and be healthier.

Fantastic experience: This club has all the equipment and classes of a BIG gym but also pays attention to detail and has the friendly atmosphere of neighborhood gym. From a genuinely friendly greeting as you walk in the door, coffee and place to sit and chat with neighbors on your way in or out, and outstanding personal trainers, this gym is more than a good value.

Fantastic experience: As a senior, this is an extremely friendly gym. The equipment is great - the personal trainers superb, always feel comfortable. All ages welcomed. Your body, mind and spirit will benefit from being a patron of the Annapolis Athletic Club.

Fantastic experience: I couldn’t express enough how incredible is this gym! From the moment you walk in to the minute you leave, all the staff have a smile on :-) Alex, Bob, Lora, Eva, Karen’s & Mary are just a few names of the staff that make this place feel like a second home…years after years I’ve only encountered positive experience! Clean environment, great classes etc…Thank each of you and sorry didn’t have enough space to write everyone’s name but you know how I am connected to you all! OneLove

Fantastic experience: Great facilities with all the equipment and machines I'd want. Very friendly and helpful staff. Nice locker rooms and showers. Dry sauna kept hot throughout the day is a huge positive. Doesn't get too crowded. Everything you want/need in a gym, with reasonable membership dues and no ridiculous lock-in period.

Negative experience: Es el PEOR gimnasio La atención al cliente es tan mala y te hacen pagar por algo que no usas, me estoy mudando a Florida y llame para cancelar mi membresía y adivina que? "que no puedo cancelarla" debido a que solo puedes cancelar los días 25 del mes cosa que nadie te dice y jamás firme un contrato. Y si, si te preguntas si lo cobraron la respuesta es si, me cobraron por un mes que no voy a usar definitivamente NO LO RECOMIENDO es lo peor de lo peor

Fantastic experience: If you're looking for a fun environment and well educated instructors they have a a plan that can fit your mobility level.

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Annapolis! Quality staff and classes!

Fantastic experience: Full facility with staff resources better than most. A great local facility!

Fantastic experience: Wonderful community! Grateful for the opportunity to sub and offer yoga classes a the AAC.

Fantastic experience: Staff are very nice. Atmosphere is very relaxing. It's the only athletic club I've ever been to without a pool, or a large indoor astro turf area for athletic training. But the price reflects that vs. the larger athletic clubs I've been to, so can't really knock them there.

Positive experience: Amazing and luxurious , only missing few things but they become minor when you see what they offer!

Fantastic experience: Great place to work out! Friendly staff and a variety of options between weights, machines and classes

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism , Quality

Fantastic experience: Outstanding athletic club with a wide variety of group classes with outstanding instructors. The club is extremely clean and the staff and trainers are very personable and friendly.

Fantastic experience: During these times AAC has kept a very clean gym and the members and staff all respect social distancing and mask wearing. Equipment is in great condition and staff is super friendly.

Fantastic experience: Best fitness club in Annapolis.....FOR SURE

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality

Fantastic experience: Great location and surprisingly spacious! Always a machine available to use and a space to stretch or foam roll. The sauna is wonderful and the body products in the showers smell great. Staff members are always warm and welcoming. So glad we decided to get a membership here!

Fantastic experience: I would like to Thank your General Manager Debra Nathan for her Superb Professionalism, which made me decide to come back to Annapolis Athletic Club! Debra exceeds Quality in Member Services ! the Staff and the atmosphere and cleanliness the ladies locker room and facilities are A + … I decided to try another Gym for a cheaper deal and Nothing Compares ! You do get what you pay for ! Debra Runs a Great Ship ( so to speak ) if I could leave ten Stars I would ! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️ Thank you ! Bella

Fantastic experience: I returned to the gym after 9 months of being away during the pandemic and my experience has been amazing. The gym is super clean...thank you Lourdes and team. The staff is very friendly, always! I've been training with Renee and feel great. Kudos to the entire team!

Fantastic experience: AAC staff cares and the gym clean and in great shape. I appreciate all the value I get from my membership.

Fantastic experience: I loved being a part of this gym! I'm a school teacher and when I joined they offered me an educator's discount without my even requesting one. The gym was always clean. I felt safe. The class instructors were friendly and learned my name. Unfortunately I had to cancel my membership during quarantine, but they had the best cancellation process I've ever experience. No fuss. Totally supportive. I fully recommend this gym to anyone in the area. Worth every penny of my tiny teacher budget!

Fantastic experience: Very clean,great equipment and atmosphere!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality

Fantastic experience: They have a wide range of classes to choose from, which already makes the membership more than worth it. They also have a good range of equipment, extremely friendly staff, options for personal training, and very clean and comfortable locker rooms. By far my favorite gym I've ever belonged to.

Fantastic experience: Really happy to be back working out inside the gym! Clean and Safe environment with the best staff always willing to assist. My blood pressure and weight have increased during the pandemic and AAC is the key to lowering stress while getting my body back on track! No crowds and love the online option for classes even though I prefer to work out in the gym. AAC has an abundance of machines, free weights and space to achieve any fitness and health goals while maintaining social distancing. Ty!

Fantastic experience: the best gym in annapolis, I invite you to enjoy the fresh and relaxing environment while achieving your physical goals.

Fantastic experience: If you are considering AAC you should go for it. I’ve tried many many... maaannny gyms and this one is my favorite by far. I mostly take classes. If you want to sweat train with Rene, I’m always out of breath after his workout sessions. Locker rooms are stacked with everything you need... so no more lugging wet towels around after a shower. PTL! Did I mention the free coffee?

Positive experience: Pluses Friendly staff Nice locker rooms Towel service Minuses Membership is pricey. Equipment is old. Especially the Free Motion equipment is just taking up space and rarely used. Should be replaced by new equipment including a good overhead press. Cleaning crew is cleaning place during opening hours. Cleaning should be done after hours

Fantastic experience: This gym is wonderful! They offer great classes throughout the day and the instructors make sure you work hard when you take a class, but modify if needed. I love all the instructors enthusiasm! Additionally, all the employees are friendly and make everyone feel welcome and seem eager to help if you have questions or concerns. The sauna and the shower facilities are very clean and convenient for those who leave the gym and go straight to work! Thank you Annapolis Athletic Club. One more thing... thanks for the free morning java! That’s always a treat!

Fantastic experience: Didn't expect a private club to have Hammer Strength equipment. Excellent facility

Fantastic experience: Very nice facility with numerous specialized work out zones and many added amenities.

Fantastic experience: I love this gym! I got a great tour of the facilities by Joe and was really impressed with the amenities and the machines. I took a barre class that was just as good as the one I paid $17 for at a studio, and this is included in the membership! Definitely recommend this gym to anyone in the Annapolis area. It’s a totally different (and better) feel than the run of the mill LA Fitness and Golds Gyms.

Negative experience: Overpriced for a short term membership. They charge 50% more for a monthly short term membership ($130/month) Also,I signed up at one price and was charged a different fee....classic bait and switch. Buyer beware! Every time you talk with someone the price changes. Hmmmm, interesting concept.

Positive experience: A former member, good machine selection and exercise schedule, excellent trainers, but pricy.

Negative experience: Did a 5 day trial they were promoting , and it was perfectly adaquate...it had treadmills and weights etc. And them they wanted to charge $87/month, which is more than twice what every nearby gym runs

Fantastic experience: Super clean, very nice

Negative experience: $80 per month? Woow. And only 1 consultation from a trainer. Hope the equipment is laced with gold for that price. Never thought wantjng to just run on a tredmill 1 hr each day would cost so much. Maybe I should buy my own. Geez to expensive

Negative experience: $25 per day rate. I work out on the road quite often, going rate is $10 - $15. I've never seen above $15.
