Love this gym! Its locally run and the owner is awesome and very friendly. They have great classes. They also have personal training, which is awesome and I have been going there for years. Its nice and clean. And its 24/7 and its not so busy like those massive gym.

Definitely my favorite gym in the area. I have access to a large, free gym, yet I still choose this one. The staff is friendly, and theres a sense of community here. You can do any type of workout with the space and equipment. Lastly, the gym owner truly cares about the gym goers and their performance. This place is definitely worth it.

Did not visit club, was there for therapy from elite, will not go any were else. She is the best. Play golf today pain free.

Good equipment for a good price. Friendly staff, very welcoming. Its never too crowded and its always tidy

1 month in..so far so good. Love the open studio to hit the bag or do a YouTube workout in peace. Not crowded. Good people. What more can u ask for. Price is right and classes are legit.

Very nice and very accommodating of different circumstances. Nice clean facilities and a variety of workout equipment.

Best gym Ive ever been to. Quiet, tucked away. The perfect place to escape and get a great workout in. The owner is super friendly too!

I dont normally leave reviews, but definitely need to give this place 5 stars. Worked out here for 2 years while on temp work assignment and have now moved out of the area. Its not often you get a gym owner as passionate about training as the members. Great gym, great staff, great owner. Will miss this place. All the best EAC team.

Pretty nice Gym but the owner doesnt think about expansion. Does not want ActiveFit Clients or GLOBALFIT Clients....So my wife and I workout at Columbia Associations Gyms...Like the Supreme Fitness off of Snowden Parkway...Has Olympic size pool and Basketball courts, 4 Workout areas

Fantastic Owner. A lot of free weights for the old school.

Rare that I review things online, but I want to support a place that is like a second home for me. EAC is such a great gym, I would give it more than 5 stars if I could. The staff is friendly, it has a full assortment of equipment that is well kept and frequently upgraded, its never packed, and the other members are friendly. EAC can accommodate anyone from long-distance runners to powerlifters and everyone in between. Though I havent used their services, there are also several expert trainers (including the owner himself, who makes an effort to be visible on the gym floor), massage, and physical therapy professionals here. Finally, its open 24 hours, which is rare for a non-corporate, independent gym.

If they don’t have it here, no one does and the staff is awesome.

Good exercise equipment

Ive been going here for about 2.5 years now and its a great gym. It has everything you need in a gym and everyone from the patrons to the trainers and the owner are all very friendly and eager to help out. Ive gotten my fiance and former coworker to join and they have both enjoyed using the facilities as well.

I got a guest pass because they had a squat rack but they have so much more. The trainers seem very knowledgeable and put their clients first. Ive been to some gyms where the trainers were just checked out while their client went through their exercises but thats not the case here. They seem very interested in helping their clients reach their goals.The equipment is clean and the gym has a positive vibe.Love the environment and the staff. Definitely coming here when I travel again.

The staff was completely helpful. The facility is nice for what you are paying for.

Great place to get a good workout in! I like the atmosphere and all the equipment they have!

I returned to this gym yesterday and had a great workout. The Team there always makes you feel comfortable.

This is a great place to workout. The staff is always helpful and friendly. All the equipment is clean and in great shape. This gym has both free weights and machines.

Reasonably priced gym with all the essentials. The staff and owner are always friendly. Owner listens to his clients and will even take recommendations to improve the gym. 24 hrs access is a huge bonus. Squat racks can easily get crowded and not enough room/weights for any heavy deadlifts or for olympics lifting.

I wanted to wait a little before writing this review. I signed up a few weeks ago and this gym provides incredible value for what you pay. It has major equipment one would need to reach their fitness goals.Huge value in a low cost:Ive been a member of many of the larger gyms where you pay skyrocket prices, however I just dont need all of the extra services that those gyms offer, especially at the rates being offered. At this gym I use the free weights, boxing bags, battle ropes, pull up rope, core station, open mat area, basketball net, cardio equipment, showers, and sauna. Its an incredible value as Ive found it to be under $40/month, and sometimes less if you pay for the year upfront or utilize their ongoing deals.24 hour availability:A huge benefit is it being available 24 hours. I find this to be a peace of mind as I occasionally will need after hour access due to my limited schedule during the day. This is almost unheard at many other smaller gyms and at this rate.Quick facts:-Towels are provided (but can run out quickly during busy times), it may be a good idea to pack one as a backup just in case-Yoga mats are available for usage outside of class times-The basketball net is probably not for more serious players as the roof is low and some angles require a low shot or youll hit the beams of the roof. Probably meant for just casual shooting around.-bring your own locks, the lockers dont have their own locks.-there are short and long lockers available, the long lockers are big enough to fit your gym bag most of the time-saunas are in each locker room, so no mixed gender saunas (a plus for those with religious sensitivities)

Amazing gym, friendly staff, cool sauna and showers, for some reason though the bathroom toilets are usually pretty gross, i mean ik it’s a gym and bathrooms aren’t the cleanest but usually 2/3 toilets aren’t even flushed. literally only complaint though the gym part of the gym is amazing

I was in the Maryland area for work for approximately a year and a half and was looking for a gym to workout in. Luckily, I found this gym. Phenomenal staff and customer service. From David, the owner, to every statgmstaff always took care of me in any way I needed. Unfortunately, my work in that area came to an end and I had to return home. I wish I had a gym like EAC out in my area.David and the rest of the team at EAC, thank you! 🙏

Fantastic gym! Weve been going here for years, mainly because of their 24/7 policy. My wife and I have schedules which only allow us to work out at night, after most gyms close. Was recommended here by a friend, and have been going ever since. Their equipment is in good condition, with lots of variety including free weights, machines, basketball court, bikes / treadmills, and even climbing ropes. It is never crowded when we usually go, sometimes with us being the only people. Going during their busiest is not awful either, with minimal waiting for equipment. Bathrooms include showers and sauna. Staff is very friendly and helpful. After hours is typically trust based with code entry system, but have had no issues. Price is amazing considering what they offer. (lots of class offerings as well, but we have not tried these)

Man this place is so cool! i lost almost 80 lbs in a month! NOW I CAN SEE MY JUNK!!! and the kids dont laugh at me anymore when I walk the neighborhood!! thank you EAC!!

Love it there. Very friendly. The owner is constantly updating equipment to better serve the clients.

I have been going to EAC for 3+ years now and couldnt be happier. The gym is never too busy, it is always clean, and the staff is always so nice and welcoming. I also utilize personal training services with Dave which has been amazing. I cant recommend this gym enough!

This is an awesome gym that has everything you would need for any type of workout. Great place for all types of gym enthusiasts.

This gym is way better than any other gym I’ve been to for the last nine years.Always clean and all machines are taken care of.Very friendly environment and great team that encourages me to keep going and David the owner is just a fantastic man who make you wanna workout.

All the free weights and machines you need, plenty of cardio machines, full locker room with sauna, absolutely amazing staff and best deal Ive encountered with a gym. Owner is constantly investing in new equipment and is hands on with equipment maintenance. This place easily beats chain gyms, without a doubt.

It wasnt until I got an offer in the mail for another gym that I realized how grateful I am for this one. Ive been a member for over a year now and its only improved since I started. They have all the equipment that you need for serious strength/cardio training and Ive noticed that their management style works very well. I usually go in the morning but there have been times where Ive definitely appreciated the always open benefit.

Elkridge Athletic Club is a great, all-around gym for any type of training. Whether you are a casual gym-goer, bodybuilder, olympic lifter, power lifter, etc., there is something for everyone here. The gym is well-maintained and the owner, David, stays on top of any issues that may arise. Additionally, all of the staff are extremely friendly. I would highly recommend this gym. Moreover, it is easily the best bang for your buck in Howard County.

I have been a member for a few years and love it. It’s clean and they are always up grading. The owner is a nice guy and very helpful. All of the staff are friendly .

This is the best gym. Seriously. Im one of those people who hates going to the gym because of how I look and how little I can do when Im just starting out. However, the staff and other gym members are so supportive and friendly that you find yourself looking forward to going back. David, the owner, really cares about the gym and its members. I take a class with Lauren and Brian and they are so helpful, and yet really push you. Lastly, the members are great too. Ive made new friends where we support each other in reaching our goals. If youre looking for a gym where youll feel welcomed and can get a great workout in various ways, this is the place for you!

A simple gym with a sauna in the locker room. Never very crowded, sign up is simple and there truly are no hidden fees. Cancellation is an easy thing as well. Why cant all gyms be this easy?

Great gym! love that its accessible 24/7. Theyre constantly upgrading the equipment! The whole gym is a bit on the smaller side if youre comparing it to a big chain gym, but it has all of the equipment you need and maybe more. Lots of squat racks. Lots of benches. enough treadmills (instead of having a whole sea of them). And they also have group fitness classes and personal trainers.

This is THE ABSOLUTE BEST gym that I have had the pleasure of being a member. The staff is extremely professional and personable. They are truly an amazing business and I cant wait to see how they continue provide such an excellent service for locals and those of us who are interim residents. Thank you for providing my fiancee and I with a place to de-stress and improve our health this past year. We wish you all great success!

Overall nice gym. The owner seems sincere. However, I am a hardcore runner and I train and sweat hard and as result I can understand why I was not welcomed at the gym because others might be turned off by my intense training. Nevertheless, I believe if you are looking for a decent but not intense workout then this is the place for you. I would say it is probably just a step above the Planet Fitness Concept, no gym intimidation. If you are hardcore training like me and sweat and like to yell and scream and push yourself to the limit then this may not be the place for you. Happy Trails and Best Wishes in your fitness journey.

I truly enjoy this gym. The staff is great and classes are amazing!! This gym is small, not packed, 24 hours, and priced great for my pockets. Ive met so many great individuals at this gym, including the owner. Please stop by!

EAC is one of the best gyms Ive been to. I used to belong to both Golds & Merritt as Ive moved from PA to Baltimore city. Its one of those places where you can feel comfortable regardless of fitness level/age/appearance. The staff is really friendly and personal training is great-- I highly recommend Kenny Clemons. The prices here are reasonable, and its never super crowded. Nothing but positive things to say about this place.

I love this gym, it has a pretty solid free weight section, enough machines, and great cardio equipment. There is a basketball court you can use when they arent performing a free class. Dave, the owner, is a great guy who makes the gym extremely comfortable for everyone.

Month to month. Two half racks with many barbells and weight. 1lb micro weights too! A lot of cardio equipment. Often buying new equipment. Offer a variety of classes. Staff is great! 24/7 key-in with your account number.

24h access with personal code. Free week trial. No contract. Never crowded. Clean & Friendly atmosphere.5 Stars🌟

I love this place. Its a standard, no frills gym with a good balance between cardio machines and space for lifting. The space is a little small, but its rarely crowded and is 24/7. Also fish!

24 hour gym with very personable, friendly, and knowledgeable owner, Dave. He says hello to everyone he sees by name! Gym has various equipment (5 squat racks that can also be used for bench, plenty of benches, duplicate weights at nice increments, slam balls, boxes, climbing rope) and machines (assisted pull-up/dip machine, treadmills, ellipticals, stairmasters, stationary bikes, row machines). In addition, theres a basketball court that alternates as a fitness room. If the gym doesnt have the equipment you like, Dave will consider adding it or at least will talk to you about current equipment alternatives. Definitely a nice gym for any type of gym-goer. Best one Ive experienced in the Columbia/Elkridge area, especially for the price.

Ive been a member of the EAC, and its predecessor clubs in that building since 1993. First it was National Fitness, then Stan Whites, The Body Factory, and now the Elkridge Athletic Club. EAC is the best of them all. Dave, the owner is by far the best owner in that building in 24 years. Hes cleaned it up, fixed it up, developed it into a very good gym, and in addition to that, hes just an all-round great guy. I really enjoy going there.

Homely environment. Not crowded. People of mixed fitness levels use this club.

Just the perfect opposite to the corporate mentality

Good price. 247 access is awesome. everything you need to get it in... I make sure I go around midnight... I go so late to avoid ppl. It was fine for the past year, but since spring, youngings are coming in disrupting the work out. It appears friends let friends in for free... but I am paying. They are running around shirts off, one guy was only in his boxers, blasting the music from the bball court. The basketball court is multi purpose. If you are on it doing something other that basketball and they want to ball.. they will take over the court. Someone is going to get hit or ran over causing an injury. Safety issue that was forwarded to staff months ago. Unfortunately... I got to leave this gym. It is in a nice discreet area.

Great staff, good amenities, and convenient. Never crowded and has pretty much everything you need.

I literally just let this facility and Im totally frustrated by the lack of friendliness from the reception desk to the Power Hour instructor, Trini. The guy at the desk took care of all the paperwork and then said ok! I had to inform him that I dont know the facility (which should have been the obvious). He then proceeded to point out the ladies room and exercise room. Fine!Next, I head into the classroom and the instructor just glares at me. I immediately felt unwelcomed. No greeting from her at all! So, I inform her that Im new and not sure where to acquire the weights, etc. In a disturbed tone, she points to the door and says, weights are around the corner. I packed my bag and left.I was expecting a different vibe. Initially, I spoke to a gentleman who was extremely friendly and I was excited to join this facility.Not sure if Ill go back.

Very friendly staff. The owner takes pride in his facility and is very approachable. I love this place!

They have lots of free weights. Good thing about is they have towels to use during work out.

Ive been coming to EAC for almost 2 years now. The owner is a stand up guy, he truly cares about his staff members and the people who come to his gym. The staff is top notch too not to mention Knowledgable, and they share that knowledge with anyone that asks. That is hard to find at other gyms, because they usually only care about their clients. The gym itself has everything under the sun. Its accommodating to the beginner, intermediate, and advanced leveled folks. I actually chose this gym when i moved to the area becuase of the fact that i was able to do Olympic style lifting, which a lot of places dont allow. I believe the owners words when i asked was its encouraged. I always reccomend the EAC to guys at work, its 100% worth it.

I dont prefer large crowds, it can be a little intimidating so the smaller gym works best.The owner Dave is awesome and I always get a great workout so no complaints from me.

Love this place! Chill con. Intense workout. It jst wks.😎😎😎😤😤😤

Everything you need. Great owner, great environment.

24 hour gym except every other Saturday for some weird private party. Accidentally showed up one Saturday gentleman that cam to door was extremely rude and was taping towels up on the window so you couldnt see in, weird. Small and equipment was old.

Decent value, has classes, could be cleaner

Small gym with friendly and helpful staff

Great place

So much machines very clean and friendly workers

Clean gym.
