Federal Hill Fitness: Opinions

Positive experience: Good equipment at the gym, but it gets crowded during peak hours, making it hard to find a machine. Going early offers a better experience. Overall, it’s a decent gym with helpful staff and a good range of machines.

Fantastic experience: Hands down my favorite gym that I've been to since moving to the city, and if I wasn't moving, I'd still be a member

Positive experience: They have good equipment and it's usually pretty empty. The locker rooms are nice and the soap/shampoo/conditioner in the showers is actually pretty good stuff. The only downsides are 1) if you're into barbell lifting you're gonna have to bench and deadlift inside of a power rack, and there's pretty limited space so you gotta focus on not bumping into equipment during your lift. And 2) I hope you like house music because it is loud and it is constant. I hear it over my headphones so I can't even listen to my own music without hearing both songs at once. So every time I come here I have to stick to podcasts, with house music playing the background. (It's not even good house its like super repetitive minimalist house). Turn down the music and get a proper bench press and I'd give it 5 stars

Fantastic experience: Beginner friendly yoga in a charming gym group fitness studio.

Negative experience: Honestly only worth it for the convenience. They hold fitness classes during the busiest time of the day (5-7ish) that take up the only free space in the gym and don’t have good weekend hours. They close at 8pm on Fridays - so I guess screw anyone that likes to work out Friday nights instead of drinking. I showed up at 7:30 and they locked the door? Close at 8 or don’t. Make up your mind.

Fantastic experience: I love it here! I take a couple of classes weekly here, and it has been so welcoming. In the past few months I have been getting back into working out, and Federal Hill Fitness has made it a lot less “scary”. I am excited to keep trying more classes!!!

Fantastic experience: Perfect location for me and it has all the equipment I need. I walk here during lunch and it's never busy. It's very convenient if you live in the area.

Christina Wiblitzhouser 2 years ago

Positive experience: Boutique gym with classes included with membership. Personal trainers available for additional $$$. This place is quality with a price to match, this is not Planet Fitness. All the basics needed in a gym. Gets crowded in the afternoons and evenings as the space is kinda small but they make good use of the space they have. This is not a crossfit gym, no tires to flip here.

Fantastic experience: I recently relocated to Baltimore temporarily for work. I really wanted to join a gym, and I am extremely happy I went with FH Fitness. Lin, the associate, was kind and attentive. The facility is spotless, and they have Peloton bikes! I am so happy with my membership. Just wanted to say thanks! Only complaint: I wish there was more parking, although I am new to the area and probably not in the know regarding parking availability and I am horrible at city parking, not the club's fault (obviously).

Pelé 2 years ago

Positive experience: Great little boutique gym that is very clean and inviting. Staff is friendly and equipment is top notch. My only complaint is that the bench press equipment doesn't allow for someone to spot you and this can be a major issue for some. Other than that go see for yourself and you wont be dissapointed!

Fantastic experience: I have done 3 kickboxing classes with Sherman and it is a really good and fun work out! He is tough, but my friends and I really enjoy it! I plan to come every Sunday that I can!!

Emily Glessner 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have gone to about 4 kickboxing classes with Sherman on Sundays, and IT IS AWESOME! I go with 3 of my girlfriends, and let me tell you, we are sweating our butts off! It is a great work out and a great time. Sherman is awesome (& relentless, in a good way)! Also, Taylor at the front is super helpful!

Fantastic experience: I work for Federal Hill Fitness about 14 yearsAndrea and Justin Shelby were two of the best people I've ever met.I didn't really get a chance to experience the gym or the workout until after I stopped working there which they were nice enough to give me a lifetime membership now I start started working out and the place is really good and I feel like family and I will never forget them

Ken Phelps 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of Federal Hill Fitness for the past four years and only my move out of the area caused me to end my membership. Andrea and her staff were friendly, helpful and dedicated. For me, as an older adult - staring down the barrel of 70 in July - the gym quickly became an integral part of my self-care discipline. The atmosphere was great, I was made to feel comfortable and encouraged as I progressed in my own regimen. (Great mix of music, too, I might add) In my thities and early forties I ran marathons. Federal HIll Fitness helped my get back into the best shape I have known since that time. The impact on my health was measureable, especially with my family histories of diabetes, which regular exercise helped to keep in check. Bottom line: I am not saying that you could not get 'results' in another gym, but the intangibles - the atmosphere, the staff, the comfort level, made the pain and sweat that much more bearable. I miss my gym.

Fantastic experience: I train with Sherman. He's awesome. Knowledge and receptive to my needs. Good customer service. Not overcrowded. Lots of food options in the area to make sure I don't lose too much weight from all the calories I'm burning.

Kristen 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I've been a member here for over 5 years and absolutely love it! I love the family like atmosphere and most of the staff knows the members by name. The owner is very hands on and is always willing to help and work with you on an individual level for whatever you may need. I would highly suggest giving them a try!

Haley Henderson 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I only came for a few months before moving out of the area but I loved coming here. The gym and changing rooms were always clean and tidy and the atmosphere was great for working out. The mornings were never overly crowed and there are great flex spaces to do your own workouts apart from the equipment and weights if desired. When there was an issue with my billing the management was super quick to resolve it. All around a great gym.

Gavi Franco 5 years ago

Negative experience: Racists and elitists place. I'm on vacation in Baltimore, I'm renting a flat for a month and I booked a one free trial class in mind&body app, they asked for a proof of citizenship or residency (they don't specific ask for that in the app) . Then they give the option to pay $50dls only one class, because "usually the user book the class in the website, not directly in the app" -_-

Federal Hill Fitness

Our free trials are for prospective members to test out the club and see if they love it before they join! Free trials are issued to anyone that lives or works in our neighborhood. This option is not available to non-residents, as it is a sales tool, not a public service. We do welcome non-residents with DAY PASSES. These are $20 per day. Under no circumstance would our staff or environment be considered in any way racist, as our staff is entirely made up of a full spectrum of races, ethnicities, nationalities and religions. We take pride in our diversity and welcome everyone into the club. This type of egregious accusation is unfortunate and highly inaccurate. We hope readers of this review understand the basis of this person's rant was that they were denied a free trial solely on the fact that they were not planning to join (since they are a resident). There is no basis to their claim of racism.

Negative experience: Solid gym. Bit pricey. Make sure to cancel you membership OVER a month before you want to leave. I have been charged multiple payments after cancellation. Terrible policy.

Federal Hill Fitness

Thank you for your honesty in recognizing we are a solid gym! Seems like that should count for more than one star, but we understand you are frustrated about the cancellation process. As you know, the reason you were charged for two payments, is because your account was overdue by two months when you requested to cancel. As soon as your overdue payments were cleared, your membership was cancelled. You were given a choice to pay off your overdue payments or be sent to collections, and your choice was to pay off your debt (smart choice!). We do ask for 30 days notice on cancellations as standard policy. You will see that with most service businesses. The reason for the 30 day policy, is so we can attempt to clear up any overdue charges (as was the case on your account) instead of terminating the membership as is and have your overdue charges roll over to collections without giving you an opportunity to pay off your debt.

Kyle Johnson 6 years ago

Negative experience: I would give it 0 stars if that were an option. Extremely disappointed with the price vs. what you get. There are simply not enough machines for what they have or simply missing machines all together. The communication with the staff when trying to cancel membership is extremely horrible. I would recommend throwing $69 in the fire every month before giving this place a single penny. I will never, ever be recommending this place to anyone unless I want to see this person lose $69/month on the worst investment of a lifetime

Federal Hill Fitness

Not enough machines? We offer six treadmills, two AMTs, four ellipticals, two stair climbers, two rowers, a recumbent bike, full line up of selectorized equipment, plate loaded equipment (including four squat racks), dumbbells, kettlebells and a variety of functional training equipment that includes battle ropes, a cage with slat wall, rope pulley, TRX, heavy bags, slam balls- what else is there? Along with a line up of excellent classes taught by certified personal trainers, we consider the price of membership not only very much worth every penny, but also much lower than our competition. The basis for this person's unfortunate and inaccurate review, is that he was THREE MONTHS OVERDUE when he requested a cancellation. We offered him the opportunity to pay off his debt (with no late fees!), or be sent to collections for the full amount owed. Sometimes people get frustrated when they are asked to pay off their debt, and sometimes it can result in a negative review that is not at all representative of our club. We sincerely hope readers of this review will evaluate the facts of this situation before casting any judgement, and stop by the club to check out everything we have to offer!

Steven Lunsford 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great little gym. Situated near a bunch of housing and stores/restaurants, so I can stop in, do a workout, then ruin it by picking up something from the Local Fry on the way home! Plenty of equipment that is kept clean and working.

Lari Hallowes-Welman 7 years ago

Positive experience: I used to work-out here when I lived in Baltimore for two years. FedHill Fitness is a lovely little gym, also offering group training sessions like yoga. The equipment is well-maintained, and the staff are fantastic. Membership fees are a little on the higher end, but well worth it.

Daniel 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: Really fantastic gym. Clean, has all the equipment you would need and has a good kickboxing/cardio room. They offer a 7 day free trial so you can get a good feel for the gym. Really good place to get in shape in terms of both cardio and resistance training
