Happy to have found this gym! Met Eduardo at the front desk, and he invited me to try his Zumba class which was about to begin. I enjoyed it so much that I became a member. If you like group exercise and want to try something new, I also highly recommend Marsha’s Beginner Step class. A fun workout!
Great gym with a great staff. There’s plenty of space to get in any type of workout you’re into. Enjoyed my time training there and would still be there if not for leaving the state.
What an amazing establishment. I’ve really never been a gym person but the staff and trainers here are so welcoming, so professional and knowledgeable. The place is impressively clean and well kept. The management, is very helpful and especially James has really helped me so much. I’d give this place 10 stars if i could! Keep it up, guys!
I started going to foundation fitness in December of 2018. Foundation fitness is an excellent gym, as the equipment is updated, well cared for, and the entire building is clean. Additionally the staff members are friendly and engaging. Foundation fitness exhibits a friendly atmosphere which allows people to work out peacefully and better themselves. I highly recommend joining foundation fitness. You will not be disappointed.
I love working out at Foundation Fitness. All of the front desk staff and personal trainers are so friendly and welcoming. Michael at the front desk is always very helpful and happy to show me how to use the machines. If you ever aren’t quite sure how to do a movement, Michael or any of the staff are always there to help you. I love coming to the gym every day and getting to say hi to my friends and favorite staff members—Suzi, Eduardo, Bree, James, Dakota, Dave, AJ, and Lucas. Miss Peggy is always a ray of sunshine and a welcome face after a stressful day at work. Lindsey does a great job managing the social media and will always keep you posted on what’s going on in the gym. I would highly recommend this gym to anyone looking for a quality gym with even better staff.
Foundation Fitness is an incredible gym, easily my favorite in Annapolis. There is ample space and equipment for whatever your workout requires, great products and classes offered to meet your fitness goals, and friendly and helpful staff & members to make your gym experience a notch above the rest. They also allow a variety of vendors to set up product tables so there’s always something new to explore and discover. Finally, I would have to say the members close out this incredible experience. If you want to go to a good gym, there are a few options but if you want to go to an exceptional gym, choose Foundation Fitness!
I have been looking around to find a gym to go to during the winter season to help stay in shape during the off season and Foundation Fitness has been the best. I came in earlier today to check out the prices and I was helped by Bri, she was very helpful and had answers to all my questions! I loved the options of classes that were offered compared to other gyms. I definitely am considering Foundation Fitness as my gym in the near future.
AJ was a huge help. He provided support and guidance throughout my strength training session and ensured I was maintaining proper form while performing exercises. Thank you so much for your help, AJ! The facility was clean and had a variety of different strength training equipment.
Ever since I started going to foundation fitness in Annapolis I love it. The atmosphere is great, the staff is great especially Brianna that works the front desk. A great environment overall welcoming friendly and has everything you need and more!
I started going to this gym almost 6 years ago, with a toddler in tow. It gets better and better every year. The facility itself is clean and there is so much quality equipment. Everyone is helpful and the classes are great! And the childcare is fantastic. Don’t miss out on this great gym!
Literally one of the best gyms I’ve ever been to. Great staff, always clean, and a multitude of different equipment. There’s always new equipment to select from and the atmosphere is so much fun!
This is the best gym I’ve ever been a member of! They have a lot of equipment and I never feel like I have to wait to get a machine or weight that I need. The additional training room, group fitness room, and kickboxing room are a huge plus that you can’t find at just any old gym. My trainer AJ pushes me to keep improving on my strength and keeps my workouts fun and challenging! Everyone, staff and other members, are very friendly and I always feel welcome and energized when I walk in the door!
I love this gym! I have been trying to find a good gym for quite some time so I went in today for a tour. Bri showed me around and she was so nice and helpful! I love the equipment and everything seems so professional!!
I started going to Foundation at the end of 2020 and couldn’t be happier with my experience. The gym & amenities are very clean and organized. They did an amazing job managing the COVID restrictions while keeping the gym open. The staff is very helpful and friendly, and made an effort to chat with me almost every time I came in. Definitely the best gym in Annapolis — I am sad to have moved away!!
Foundation Fitness is a wonderful gym! The people who work there are very kind and accommodating, and the fitness classes they offer are some of the best I have ever attended! Equipment always works well, and there is a variety to suit my needs. Highly recommended!
A great environment overall welcoming friendly and has everything you need and more!
Great gym! Clean and welcoming. Eduardos Zumba classes are fun and motivating! I always leave feeling I got a great workout.
I’ve been working out with AJ for two months and after the first month I was already down 3% body fat. This is a great gym with all of the amenities needed for a solid workout. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend it to anyone, whether it be someone new to getting in shape or someone who is a seasoned athlete.
Foundations Fitness is the best gym in Annapolis!! The front staff is very friendly and helpful, always there to greet you with a smile (especially Suzi!)I’m especially happy with all the new equipment and the gym is always sparkling!
I wish I could give more stars but I found myself disappointed with the treadmill equipment. The first time I went to Foundation after signing up, my significant other and I were really looking forward to the treadmills and having a safe place to run (after recent events that have occurred in the U.S. I find it incredibly hard to feel even remotely comfortable running outside and/or on my own nowadays). However, when we got to the treadmills, we noticed a few of them were roped off which was odd. Then, about 2 minutes after my boyfriend got on one of the treadmills, it split in half on one of the sides nearly taking out his knee. My boyfriend is between 180 - 190 lbs. so its alarming that the treadmills are so fragile. The staff on duty heard the loud crack and immediately came over to check on us and shut down the faulty treadmill. After we both found new treadmills to run on, we noticed how difficult it was to operate the treads with the awkward buttons and automatic shut down feature (?). On top of that, it was hot and muggy inside the gym with no relief from the treadmill fan. I hate giving 3 stars because the staff Ive interacted with are incredibly friendly, the gym rate is affordable with the amenities and location is very convenient. After reading more reviews, I understand this gym has come along way...Im hopeful that more improvements will be made over time and that it can become a haven for people like myself just looking for a safe place to have a good run.
I called to ask questions about a gym membership and spoke to a lady, I believe her name was Bri, she was so incredibly helpful and super friendly. Would really recommend this gym and look forward to getting a gym membership when I get the time.
I love Foundation Fitness. The gym has everything I need to complete cardio and strength training. The community is friendly and respectful. I have been training with AJ Johnson, who is on the personal training staff, and over the past two months, he has helped me to meet my goal of improving my strength and stamina. I have felt my results day to day and look forward to training with him in the months to come. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a great community gym to join Foundation Fitness.
Upon entering Foundation Fitness one is greeted with a smile every single time. The employees here all individually outstanding and professional. As for the trainers, I had the pleasure to train with Aj which greatly gave me a strong foundation for my fitness journey. Overall, great quality gym equipment and even better gym staff.
I was in Annapolis for a two conference and Foundation Fitness met my every expectation. Truly amazing staff and very clean facility. I noticed the staff was always attentive to the needs of their clients. I also left my timer on the floor and to their credit they are mailing it to me free of charge. General Manager, James Zimmerer is an outstanding representative of their club. Truly a remarkable club!
I have been a member of Foundation Fitness for just over 4 months. As someone who has never been a gym person and needed a lot of help getting in shape, I have been thrilled with this gym and training. My trainer Ross has been an absolute lifesaver! Hes knowledgeable but most importantly he listens and tailors your workout so you are challenged but not overwhelmed. I leave both exhausted and feeling accomplished after every workout. Ive made amazing progress and actually enjoy going to the gym all thanks to him. If you need help or motivation to work out, Ross is your man.The gym is super clean and large. I feel safer here than the grocery store because of their excellent protocols (temperature check, social distancing and individual cleaning supplies). There is a huge selection of equipment and work out spaces. Its very affordable too.Run, dont walk, to this gym. You wont regret it.
Started coming back in 2020 and cant say enough about this place! From the staff to the all around energy ✨ 👌Everyone is amazing. 10/10 for sure 💪🌱
Best gym in Annapolis! Fun and friendly environment. Their yoga classes are amazing!
Favorite gym I’ve ever been too! Super helpful staff and the equipment looks brand new! Love this place!
The best gym to attend to in the area when it comes to resources. They have well kept equipment as well as a knowledgeable and helpful staff of personal trainers who are always willing to help out those at the gym!
Favorite gym in Annapolis! The staff is super friendly and the gym is always clean. Excited about the new equipment too!
Foundation Fitness is an excellent gym. I joined through my health insurance and decided to work with Ross in personal training sessions to help recover from some sports injuries and help prevent further injuries so I can get back to martial arts and improve my fitness. The gym is super clean, has lots of equipment, and the sauna and steam room in the locker rooms are clean and awesome features. The staff members are fantastic and I really love working out here.
Foundation Fitness is a great gym. It’s small but not too small. It’s not overwhelming like the big box gyms. I came here back in October to find a gym and trainer to help me recover post major surgery. I can’t say enough about how great this gym and the personal trainers have been. Dakota has been amazing with helping me train and get back in shape for my second marathon. He has even specifically tailored our training to aid my marathon running. Dakota gets a 10/10. The entire staff is super friendly and always happy to chat or help you out. I highly recommend this gym.
Foundations is the best gym in Annapolis! Seeing Mike and Bri when you walk in is always a pleasure. They are super friendly, and make you feel like you’re at home!! James and AJ are also the guyssss! Also I forgot the other guyyy Eduardo he may or may not be the face that keeps foundations running behind the scenes!!
Best gym in Annapolis by far! Great location by the mall and very friendly staff
This gym is clean, has updated equipment and excellent customer service. Fitness facilities in Annapolis tend to have very limited hours, FF is the exception. They are the only gym in town with virtual classes on the schedule. If you can’t make an in-person class, you can always dial up a virtual trainer in the fitness room and take a class on your schedule.The personal training is TOP NOTCH. I train with Ross O’Shea. As a triathlete who spent the COVID year getting slowly out of shape, I wanted a trainer who could work with me AND my crazy tri workout schedule. We work on balance, strength and flexibility. I’ve only been training with Ross for one month and have lost two pounds, am hitting peak performance watts on the bike and have lost a mysterious pain in my foot that used to nag me on the run. Ross is awesome.I highly recommend this gym and the personal training staff. Professional, prepared and they definitely help you gets results.Membership prices are reasonable and the vibe is chill. This is not a meathead, bro gym. Very pleased to be a member.
Exceptional gym. I started going to Foundation Fitness in the midst of the pandemic just looking for an excuse to get out of the house and have now transformed into an avid gym goer! I was immediately impressed by the quality of equipment and professionalism of the staff. I train with Dave Topp who has been phenomenal in helping me achieve my fitness goals and return-to-sport conditioning from an old knee injury. The group fitness classes are incredibly diverse and FUN. There is always something new to try here! Thanks Foundation Fitness for creating such a clean, friendly, inclusive atmosphere to workout in.
The lady at the front desk Bri was very welcoming
Eduardo is the jam. I really like the new Zumba Tone classes. Thank you Eduardo for offering a safe environment for me to come wiggle and keep up with my health goals!
They have equipment for every fitness need and friendly trainers. There are many areas in the gym plenty of space to do your workout.
Clean gym, went there as a guest to try it out. Mike at the desk was a big help. Will be back.
I have been going to Foundation Fitness for over 2 years and love it. As a woman in my 60s I have not been comfortable going to gyms in the past. I have always felt comfortable and supported here. This the longest I have kept a gym membership and gone consistently. Dave Topp, my trainer, is the best. He keeps me motivated and has me doing exercises I never thought I could do.
Best gym in annapolis! mike at the front desk is the best!
I was a member at Foundation for a few years, having joined after my old gym closed. The team at Foundation, especially Ross, welcomed the clients from that gym like family.Foundation is more than just a gym, its a place where you get to know the people who work there and soon call them friends. They have gone above and beyond during Covid to make sure the facility is clean and that clients are safe.I trained 3 days a week with Dakota for almost 2 years, until I moved away. First Dakota is a great coach. He pushes you hard, but you get results. He customizes your workouts to fit your goals, and is flexible with scheduling. I really enjoyed spending time with him, and miss seeing him regularly now that I live in another state.The classes are great, too. Be sure to take a class with Eduardo...youll have so much fun, you wont realize how tired you are!
Wonderful gym: Large, plenty of equipment for anything youre looking to do, and reasonably priced.
I joined Foundation after moving to the area in 2017. When COVID hit and the gym closed, I signed up for small group personal training with Ross O’Shea which we started out doing over Zoom, then as restrictions lifted, moved to outdoor training then back in the gym. After one year of training with Ross I am probably in better shape than I have ever been. He keeps the workouts challenging but fun and I have noticed definite improvements in my strength and stamina. He is always flexible if I ever have to make a schedule change. If you are considering signing up for personal training, it is worth the cost and you should ask for Ross!
Mike Labs does a great job at the front desk!
Great environment & team! Best gym in the area!
Great gym with great staff. It is affordable and has a lot of equipment. The personal trainers they have are very accommodating and helped me lose weight. If you are looking for a personal trainer, Dakota is the best.
Bri was very kind and a great employee
A great place to work out
Had a bad day at work and my whole day changed when i walked into your Annapolis location and was greeted by Mike. He was friendly and happy, he always is but Today it made a difference.
I found this gym when my facility closed unexpectedly. Foundation not oy women those of us who were displaced, but they also offered a home to the staff so we could continue on our fitness journey. I have been committed to the same trainer for the past 3 years, and I am more successful because of his guidance and support. The entire training staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and have the tools and resources to support you no matter where you are in terms of ability level. Getting a trainer has been one of the best decisions I have made....its a gift to myself which has made all the difference.
They provide a great sense of community, excellent atmosphere, always willing to answer your questions, and so many options in the facility for workouts. Love this place!
Best group fitness classes in Annapolis. For a great Zumba class you need to try my friend Eduardo! Also foundation fitness is a family atmosphere. So come join us !
Foundation fitness is the best gym Ive been to. Not only is it huge, clean, and well organized, but the people at the gym are amazing.It has a family feel and everyone cheers each other on! Ive been going to foundation fitness for almost 3 years and have learned a lot, and cant wait to keep getting stronger and better!
Staff is really great, gym is kept clean, and love the classes. Great place.
I train at Foundation Fitness with AJ Johnson. I couldnt ask for a better experience. Every session leaves me feeling better than the last. Anyone looking for a fresh start, should start with him! As for the gym, its always well kept, never too busy and I love that I can check how many people are in the gym on their website. So glad I signed up!
Ive been training at Foundation Fitness for over a year with AJ Johnson. Each workout is a little different than the last which keeps me engaged. The gym has a good variety of equipment and is well kept. The staff is also friendly and encouraging.Throughout COVID, I have continued to workout at Foundation Fitness and am very pleased with their procedures and feel safe during my time there. They also provide a guest pass that I have used intermittently for my son so he can try out the weights and equipment. It is a great place to work out.
I have been a member of this gym through 4 name changes. I stayed because of the location, the size of the gym and what it has to offer. During COVID and reopening it has put in place temperature checks, hand sanitizer when checking in and cleaning solution and towels are available to wipe off each machine before and after each use. I am ways greeted with a smile from the desk staff and the Manager, James when he is there. I become good friends with Ed because of his warm and friendly welcome. He is always walking through the gym to check to see if everyone is wearing their mask properly, kudos to him.
Excellent gym with professional service
Awesome job superb professional
Eduardo has an awareness of the body, of what we are doing correctly, and often gives small corrections and an alternative way in his directions which I appreciate.
Tried this gym as a guest and it was sweet
Eduardo is the best Zumba leader! Hes thoughtful, motivates you and very careful with keeping everyone safe from injury and respectful of Covid restrictions.
Outstanding gym. Its always very clean, has good equipment, plenty of space, and good locker rooms. Also, the front desk staff are very helpful and friendly! Would recommend to anyone!
Foundation FitnessEduardo is the best instructor he makes working out fun!
Foundation Fitness offers the best value in Annapolis. They have every piece of equipment you could ever want, and it’s never overcrowded so you NEVER have to wait to use something. The staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. Classes are abundant and you can always get a spot, even last minute. If you’re looking for a new gym in Annapolis or just need a switch from the overpriced and always crowded alternatives, swing by and check it out!
I’ve been going to this gym for 4 years now, back when they used to be Premier Fitness. Since then they’ve come under new management and I couldn’t be happier with the changes. They’ve cleaned up the facility added tons of new equipment and given it a fresh new look. The staff are also great and always courteous and friendly. I highly recommend Foundation Fitness to anyone looking for a great gym in the Annapolis area.
A member over 25 years. Great staff and members.It has become an important part of my life and I’ve built a community of friends over the years.Friendly atmosphere, wonderful yoga instructors, and a great training staff. Staff friendly and helpful.Highly recommend Foundation Fit for variety of classes and gym equipment. Owners always making improvements and listen to members’ suggestions.
Great gym with amazing staff.
I just signed up last week. I love it. I was a member way back when it was Premier Fitness. Theyve since undergone a huge transformation...new name, new equipment, and probably new management. The staff is friendly and professional, and the gym is clean and has LOTS OF NEW EQUIPMENT. I love it!!!
Best gym in Annapolis!
Great gym. Its always very clean, has good equipment, plenty of space, and good locker rooms. Also, the front desk staff are very helpful and friendly! Would recommend to anyone!
Love this gym! It’s never too crowded even during busy times, tons of space to workout and the staff is super friendly! Also comes with a parking lot, just a great place to workout :)
Mike is the best
Would give 4 stars but they raised rates. Love the atmosphere. The equipment was recently switched out so that is good.. however.. it is still old stuff.
I have been a member of this gym for 10 years. I have watched the business go through varied owners, managers, employees and trainers. Since the current owner took over about 1.5 years ago the place seems on track. Upgrades and improvements have been slow but steady. This is not a foo-foo gym with all the state-of-the-art amenities, but it has everything you need. It is a family friendly low key fitness center with something for all levels of fitness, body types and interests. And most importantly it is a great value! The gym has a contract with visiting minor league baseball teams and the players seem content with the facility and amenities. The trainers are probably the gyms greatest asset. Most of them are visible, friendly and helpful. There is no pressure to have a trainer, but a few hours with one is highly beneficial. Ashley, Drew and Keri have been with the gym for years, have a large clientele and are the most visible.
I really like the staff and the gym. Most people would be able to find whatever level of fitness they are seeking here. My only complaint is the temperature control, especially in the summer. Its just too warm to be comfortable for me.
This is by far the best gym AND staff in town! The trainers are knowledgeable and friendly. I became a member specifically because it isnt a pretentious gym like so many in Annapolis. The Foundation Fitness Fam is a good one to be apart of 💪
If youre looking for a clean, welcoming, friendly, and fun environment, than this should be your new gym of choice. With the recent upgrades you will not be disappointed. I gave them 5 stars because they have really earned that distinction.
Ashley Hesgard is one of the trainers at Foundation Fitness, and I take her Boot Camp small group training class. She is one of the toughest trainers that I have ever had, but she is the only one that I have seen the best results out of. She does NOT give up on you, and I am so glad I signed up when I did. 10/10 would recommend this gym and Ashley!
Foundation Fitness is the best work out experience I have ever had! The facility is clean and has a great variety of equipment. Ross is an excellent personal trainer with a holistic approach to health. Highly recommend!!!
Best fitness place in Annapolis! Friendly staff and spacious gym with lots of different weight equipment for lifters as well as plenty of cardio equipment. Highly recommend to anyone in the area looking for a place to workout. They also offer a free day pass if you’re looking to test the place out!
I am from New Jersey and pay a ridiculous amount to go to an extremely small and crowded gym. When I come visit Annapolis throughout the summer, I need a gym to go to because I am currently enrolled in the Marine ROTC program at college. The past two years I have attended Foundation Fitness- after having visited most of the other gyms in Annapolis. With an outstandingly low price for such an incredibly spacious and offering gym, I am able to excel in my training because I have access to all the machines I need. The other gyms did not offer low prices, nor did they offer all of the equipment I was looking for. Having been in Annapolis for two summers now, I am able to continue the training I need to be successful in the military. Accordingly, the staff is extremely helpful and attending to all its members. They do everything they can to ensure that their members are content and comfortable in the fitness center. I highly recommend this gym to anyone living in the Annapolis area.
Great place to workout with awesome, friendly, and knowledgeable staff! They recently updated and have a nice variety of equipment. I would highly recommend this gym! Ask for James when you go!
Smaller gym. Has everything you need. Not too crowded even at the busiest times. Should of went here a lot earlier than the 24hour that’s in town
This place is great! I always get a great workout. Lots of new equipment and great locker rooms.
Ive been going to Foundation Fitness for about 7 years now, and absolutely love it! Every time I go in, I always leave feeling accomplished and better than before. No matter what my focus is that day, theres always access to the equipment and machines necessary for me to have a great workout. The staff, trainers, and fitness instructors are all amazing people with great energy, and look out for you, whether youre working with them or not. I have formed some of my best relationships with people I have met at the gym over the years and continue to form new friendships. Going to Foundation Fitness first thing in the morning during my crazy, hectic work weeks always sets me up for a better day than not :)
I went from 245lbs to 167lbs in 6 months the wide variety of machines and overall great customer service makes you want to come to the gym everyday day. I strongly recommend joining here!
Great staff. Awesome equipment. Friendly vibe.Always clean. Definitely recommend!
We have been members here for almost 20 years and have also frequently used a personal trainer. We have been happy with the people here and the equipment. We recommend this gym.
Great gym. Friendly staff. If you’re looking for a inexpensive place to workout that has all the equipment you need this is the place!
Love this gym! Really wonderful mix of people, have never wanted for a single piece of equipment, and its always so clean.
Foundations fitness is a great gym! There is always more than enough equipment to use even during peak times, the classes are fun and engaging, and the trainers are exceptional (especially Ashley). The locker rooms are clean, the gym offers childcare and the members are friendly too!!You won’t find a better gym!!
This is the best gym in Annapolis. Friendly staff, always clean, and never too crowded. I highly recommend it.
Great gym. Easy to get around . not over crowded. Good employees always helpful.
Awesome facility! Great up to date equipment and friendly supportive staff! Clean gym.
Love foundation fitness! Its a great gym. Highly recommend!
