Grind Baltimore

Fantastic experience: been here for about a month and i’ve noticed a significant difference in my upper body, part of that is my consistency but the gym is always clean, usually empty up until around 5pm, great atmosphere because everyone just minds their business, staff isn’t in your way and they’re also trainers,the music is great if you forget your headphones, sauna is a little cramped but it’s still nice, wish i could explain all the things i love about it really

Positive experience: Awesome gym! Great bodybuilding equipment. The only downside is no parking.

Fantastic experience: the people are chill, the views are nice and you have everything you need!

Positive experience: I’ve been trying to hit the gym consistently, but the access situation is making it impossible specially on weekends. No key cards, no security staff, and no one answering calls when you need help for visitors one week pass. I’ve been turned away two days in a row with a “come back tomorrow” response.

Fantastic experience: This gym has been amazing! I started with no prior lifting experience, and with the help of my trainer, I’ve made significant progress. The equipment is excellent, the facility is clean, and the atmosphere is fantastic. Highly recommended!

Positive experience: Grind is a really cool gym with a great vibe amazing location and low cost. It was super easy to sign up and cancel which is unheard of. That being said, I have some gripes. This review comes from someone who is a powerlifter so your milage may vary. 1) 40% of all barbells are behind a paywall. They are locked and you cannot use them unless you pay extra to subscribe to the powerlifting club. 2) There are few plates in the deadlift area. Also you can't use the kg plates unless you pay extra. 3) There is a competition bench but only for the powerlifting club, other than that there is only one dedicated bench press. 4) Finally, the biggest issue for me: many power-lifting areas in the gym are not level. Probably not a big deal to most people but it messes with me. Overall, a good gym for most people but not for me.

Fantastic experience: Awesome place to workout in downtown Baltimore! Great views, plenty of weight and a very unique experience. Worked out here on a week pass while I was in town and was very impressed with how cool it was being in an old power plant. Would definitely return if I came back to Baltimore!

Fantastic experience: I've been coming here for 1.5 years so far. And I can say that this gym offers incredible value compared to any other gym I've been to. The gym offers something for nearly any type of athlete. It has machines, plenty of racks, ropes to climb, a punching bag, boxes for jumps, and even a lane for sled pushes. Not to mention a sauna and nice showers. The regulars here are also really chill. I look forward to coming to this gym every day.

Fantastic experience: Top-notch gym in Downtown Baltimore. I regularly travel for work and this place has great equipment and PLENTY of it too. There’s so much to do and each time I’ve been (all at different points in the day) it’s been pretty close to empty. Locker room - some towels available - and a sauna. Nothing fussy at all - just a great, large gym for a good workout. Tricky to get in the first time. I’d suggest buying your pass then having security let you up.

Negative experience: Old equipment and poor service

Fantastic experience: Grind Baltimore is hands down one of the best fitness gyms I’ve ever been to! The moment you step inside, you’re welcomed by a vibrant and energetic atmosphere that immediately motivates you to get moving. The facility is state-of-the-art, with top-notch equipment that’s always clean and well-maintained. The variety of classes offered at Grind Baltimore is impressive. Whether you’re into high-intensity interval training, yoga, strength training, or cardio, there’s something for everyone. The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, always pushing you to achieve your best while ensuring proper form and technique. What truly sets Grind Baltimore apart is the sense of community. The members and staff are friendly, supportive, and encouraging, making it a positive environment to work out in. It’s clear that the team at Grind Baltimore is dedicated to helping everyone reach their fitness goals, no matter their level of experience. Additionally, the amenities are fantastic. From spacious locker rooms to a smoothie bar offering delicious post-workout treats, they’ve thought of everything to make your gym experience enjoyable and convenient. Overall, Grind Baltimore is more than just a gym—it’s a place where you can challenge yourself, connect with others, and become the best version of yourself. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a top-tier fitness experience in Baltimore!

Fantastic experience: Had a great training day at Grind. Good variety of equipment, sauna in the changing rooms was a perfect finish to my session and place was not overly busy on a Monday evening. 10/10 would recommend.

Fantastic experience: Love this place, been coming here for years and it has been like no other gym I’ve been to. Love the atmosphere and the people who go here. Anthony is great, and has been really helpful in my fitness journey!

Fantastic experience: They have a combo rack, a good amount of strongman equipment, and a weightlifting platform. What more can you ask for

Positive experience: Dylan is an awesome trainer. He is caring, flexible, and educates his prospects and trainees upon every step to wellness and fulfillment. The space is industrial, urban, chic, and has appropriate amenities. It's a good spot for men and women.

Fantastic experience: Love this place. Great range of lifting oriented equipment.

Fantastic experience: I visited this place for the first time today and I was really impressed! The equipment is top-notch, it wasn't too crowded, and the views were fantastic. I actually signed up for a membership right away because I'm so excited to have this as my new fitness hangout. Can't wait to start working on improving my fitness here! ️‍♂️

Fantastic experience: It’s the best gym besides exile on the east coast!

Fantastic experience: I've been to gyms all over the US, but this place stands out as exceptional. The space has sky-high ceilings, a lot of natural light, and it is equipped with every workout necessity imaginable. What I greatly appreciate is the welcome – the staff is incredibly warm and respects your space during workouts. The upbeat hip-hop soundtrack complements the mamba mentality vibe. The views of Baltimore's waterfront and surrounding area is great for people-watching, making each workout a nice way opportunity to zoom out and take the time to focus on you. The best part? The gym is never overcrowded, so you'll never have to wait for equipment. This is coming from someone who goes to the gym 4x a week anywhere between 9-12pm. Everyone here is respectful, fostering a great atmosphere. But what truly seals the deal is the simplicity of membership – hassle-free sign-up and cancellation. Prior to joining, I researched other local gyms, and this was undoubtedly the best choice. It's a place that delivers premium facilities at an unmatched value. I highly recommend this hidden gem of a gym!

Fantastic experience: Buen lugar

Fantastic experience: Stopped in from out of town on a day pass. Awesome place, have EVERYTHING you need. Sauna was a nice bonus. Staff was friendly and approachable even on the gym floor. History of the building is worth the stop alone.

Fantastic experience: Kick started my fitness journey with this gym, specifically working with Matt as a trainer. He's taught me so much in the last month and a half or so about how to work with proper form and has been so adaptable with helping me to find a routine that works for me, working around injuries, and showed me ways to keep the workout interesting. He keeps me motivated to keep going, even outside of sessions. Matt is the human version of loaded dice (lol), you're only going to win when you are working with him! I can't thank him enough!! I have never once felt uncomfortable at Grind, it's such a great environment to grow and, pun intended, keep up the grind.

Fantastic experience: I've been working out at grind for a few months now and it's fantastic I work with the trainer Matt and he's really helped teach me alot made me more confident in the gym and is really motivating and fun to work with keeps me accountable and makes the works outs fun and engaging I highly recommend if you're looking for a gym or a trainer to check out grind and ask for Matt

Fantastic experience: Great gym!

Fantastic experience: A hidden gym, definitely worth the day pass and I’d 100% get a membership if I still lived in the area.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of this gym for two years, and my experience thus far has been awesome! Great atmosphere, very spacious, tons of equipment, people are nice, and the personal training is top notch! 100/10.

Fantastic experience: I stopped by with a friend while in town for work and was very impressed. The gym was clean and well organized with plenty of weights and machines. It is also located in a nice area that is easily accessible. Matt was very helpful in showing us around the gym and helping us find the equipment we needed.

Fantastic experience: I dropped in from out of town while here for a conference and I was really impressed with this place. Super clean and organized gym that had tons of squat racks, rigs, dedicated power/oly lifting platforms, concept 2 rowers, ropes, really anything you could possibly need. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Matt was awesome and showed me around and even hunted down a specific weight belt for me that had mistakingly been misplaced. No doubt I would be a member here if I lived here

Fantastic experience: I've never written a Google review, but my experience with Grind Baltimore necessitates it. These guys run a great operation. Signing up and cancellation (moving!) was a breeze, the 24/7 access was phenomenal, and everyone I encountered here was a gem. As a woman I never felt uncomfortable in this space, and the gym had everything you need to get a great workout and nothing you don't.

Fantastic experience: Great gym and staff. Has top of the line equipment for powerlifting. Will definitely visit again if I’m in the area!

Fantastic experience: This is possibly my favorite gym of all time. It has everything I need (free weights, bench, multiple squat racks, etc), it's very clean and has a flexible membership. Going here, I feel like I'm part of a big family.

Fantastic experience: Jesse James West used to work out here so it's a 5 from me

Fantastic experience: Hands down one of the coolest gyms I have ever been to! I spoke with Anthony and he was so kind and accommodating. If I lived in Baltimore this would 100% be my home gym. My husband and I loved everything about it! If you get a chance, you NEED to visit or join! It will absolutely be worth your time.

Fantastic experience: This gym may look like a bit of a meathead place, but it's HUGE, with tons of equipment and a very chill vibe. Everyone is nice and friendly, and just let's everyone else be. Also there's a hoop you can use during non business hours. The price is legit too - under 100 for 2 people!! You can't find that anywhere

Positive experience: I reveal to all of my colleagues that this is the outfit to consult with.

Fantastic experience: Great view, chill staff, reasonable pricing, ample equipment

Negative experience: Terrible experience. No one at the front desk. Called lobby multiple times. Left after waiting almost 10 minutes. If you’re visiting Balt, go to the MAC.

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere and a great community. Everyone is very friendly and the owners are happy to help out. Little pricey but I highly recommend to anyone in the city!

Fantastic experience: This is a wonderful gym! I took the women's strength training class with Alex and it was exactly what I needed. She created challenging classes that introduced a variety of different exercises that we could utilize outside of class. Overall, the gym equipment is in great condition and it's never too crowded inside. I highly recommend the membership + group classes package for $99/month.

Fantastic experience: Perfect for people looking for a lift without all the distractions you see in other gyms. Adding a pizza night wouldn’t be a terrible idea though

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Baltimore! Great equipment and a very knowledgeable staff. Very good environment as well!

Fantastic experience: Love the gym and the culture

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym, was traveling from out of state and the staff was very helpful and welcoming. Great location and great equipment and atmosphere. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great gym to get a great workout in.

Fantastic experience: Marvelous equipment and great staff everytime I come to work in Baltimore I will be at grind Baltimore getting a great work out!

Fantastic experience: The Grind is amazing. Great staff, very friendly. Well kept. Reasonably priced. Would highly recommend.

Positive experience: Good equipment, great atmosphere cept for one thing… members seem to mean mug ya, and when you ask if you can work in or how many sets they have left, your treated like an outcast… owner and counter staff was great

Negative experience: Pros: Cool gym, good equipment, atmosphere is friendly, Sauna is nice, great for crossfit/powerlifting Cons: Parking is extra $50 a month making gym expensive (street parking is almost nonexistent), basketball court is a little run down, the locker room needed more regular cleaning and sometimes ran out of towels Big Issue: I was charged for an extra month due to cancelling through the link they provided in the email they send and despite showing them that I received a confirmation email of my cancellation, they refused to refund me. They cited that canceling through the email isn’t valid, but needs to be done through different methods. Would have been nice to know before hand or wish they resolved the issue once I brought it up.

Fantastic experience: These guys are so nice and welcoming! Loved the open place, the varied machinery and the friendly service. Thank you! La gente que trabaja aqui son super amistosos y te reciben con los brazos abiertos. Me gusta mucho el espacio abierto, la variedad en maquinas y servicio amistoso.

Fantastic experience: I didn't even know there was such a great gym next to the harbor

Fantastic experience: Low key gym great atmosphere, had one minor hiccup tho. Nick physical therapist is the best.

Fantastic experience: Spending the day in Baltimore since my boyfriend’s dad was going to ComicCon. Loved the atmosphere that the gym brings. Very clean, and many exercise machines to choose from. Will definitely be back.

Fantastic experience: Great gym with great atmosphere. No nonsense on the enrollment process which is appreciated.

Positive experience: It was nice.

Fantastic experience: Grind has a great feel and atmosphere! There is plenty of variety in equipment for all types of training styles. Ideal if you live by the harbor, & they also have great parking validation with Pier 5. Highly recommend checking them out!

Fantastic experience: THIS GYM IS AWESOME. Great location and amazing facility, awesome equipment. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Fantastic experience: Amazing and super cool club. Clean and professional. Great workout for me today.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend anyone that lives in the area to try this gym. Amazing staff, top of the line equipment and an unforgettable gym community. Easily my go to gym from now on.

Fantastic experience: Great environment, amazing experience. Nick was a great guide, definitely coming back.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym with great staff. Was traveling away from town, and Nicolas the owner was super helpful with getting me set up, even training early in the mornings. Gym is huge. Has turf, free weights, racks and bumpers, tons of machines, and concept 2 rowers and ski erg. Fantastic space and atmosphere. Highly recommend. Give Nicolas a call/email and he’ll get you set. Will be back!!

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Baltimore. I have used several gyms around the area and this place is one of my favorites. It is very open, has a ton of different equipment for different kinds of workouts. Judge free zone and a great staff. Met a man named Nick who just had a fantastic attitude, and welcomed me for the first time. They even have a Physical therapist (Dr. Brendan Glackin) who is very humble. He was there to help with any issues I had and talked me through how to prevent further issues.

Fantastic experience: Great and friendly place to workout.

Fantastic experience: This is the perfect gym for Knees Over Toes training. They’ve got turf and a sled, multiple back extension machines, foam slant boards, and a basketball court! I also LOVE that they offer day passes. I was in town for a week and this gym allowed me to stay on track with my fitness routine. And the location? PRIME! 6/5 stars

Fantastic experience: Fancy. Hot. 10/10 just go.

Fantastic experience: By far the best gym location in Baltimore. They have plenty of unique equipment and have continued to upgrade. I never felt like it was overcrowded and I couldn’t use a certain machine/area. Great location overlooking the harbor as well. Highly recommend to anyone who is new to the city or looking for a better , and more adorable, option to other gyms downtown.

Positive experience: Overall this gym is great. It caters to athletes with a wealth of kettlebells, Oly lifting platforms and bumper plates, dumbells that go up to 120lbs, strongman tools like tires and Atlas stones; for me the big selling points were the sauna and a pair of high gymnast rings, and that during COVID masks weren't required. These days i love the 15lb mace as well. Friendly staff, clean facilities, secure and safe area. So why only four stars? The music. Nearly every time I come into this gym the same brainless, lowest common denominator trap music is playing through the (very nice) sound system, and most times it's so loud I can hear it through my headphones. It's a petty gripe, but music makes or breaks a gym experience very easily, and it wouldn't bother me if it weren't the default music of this gym - almost the only kind of music that's ever played at all. Awhile ago there was a billboard asking for patron suggestions for music for a playlist but that doesn't appear to have been put into effect, and that's a shame. To some degree this is more of a larger "Baltimore" problem than a "gym" problem, but it's still irritating enough that it loses a star on an otherwise pretty ideal gym. If you live for autotune and plug-n-play 808 beats you've heard 1000 times then you'll love it here. For the rest of us? Blast your earbuds I guess.

Fantastic experience: Great spot! Grind has great views of the area, along with just about every piece of equipment you could need. Would definitely recommend coming to check this place out.

Fantastic experience: This gym fire is Bruh. They got some of the best turf in the country.

Fantastic experience: I was a member for the first year I moved to Baltimore. Great vibes, awesome staff/ownership an with all the stuff you need to reach your fitness goals. Can't wait to get back!

Positive experience: Beautiful gym just a little hard to get to

Fantastic experience: The grind was so clean and the staff/owners were incredibly kind. An amazing workout & an amazing experience!!

Fantastic experience: An Awesome space- great variety of equipment, great layout, would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Over in Baltimore from the UK for Christmas . My wife and I have used the gym for a week. It's a great facility , easy to access and get to , great equipment range , not busy, super friendly staff and excellent changing facilities . A great place whatever your ability or discipline. Would recommend

Fantastic experience: Best gym in the city! Basketball court, weights, sauna, great music. Views overlook the harbor. Everything you need! Nothing you don’t!

Fantastic experience: This is honestly the best gym in Baltimore. Firstly the place is just so dope looking. Having a good environment can be key to being successful in the gym and in life and every time I walk in there I know I’m gonna have a killer workout. Secondly, the people there are so down to earth and more than willing support and assist you on reaching your fitness aspirations. And finally there aren’t any fricken hidden fees like every other gym on the planet!!!

Fantastic experience: It's really cool to workout in such a unique gym.The atmosphere is motivating and gets you excited to workout

Fantastic experience: Can't recommend highly enough!

Fantastic experience: Was visiting for the weekend and found this gym on google. Awesome location with great music and everything you could need in terms of equipment. Would definitely come again!

Fantastic experience: This was a pleasant surprise. The only thing that crossed my mind while I worked out was that they should charge more. The weekly rate is $29 but they could easily and legitimately charge $50 and nobody would bat an eye. The location isn’t exactly easy to locate, though. To be clear, it’s on the 4th floor of the power plant building, which would be nice to know while you’re looking for a place to park. They were understanding of our team’s traveling situation and were very welcoming to us. I won’t go anywhere else in Baltimore.

Fantastic experience: I just started a new position down town in pier V and saw that grind was located in the same building and wanted to give it a try. Walked in and was greeted by Anthony who was more than nice welcoming me in and showing me around. They have everything you would need and more. They are also actively renovating and buying new equipment making it even better. Highly recommend checking it out!

Fantastic experience: Did not disappoint. I’ve never been to a gym like Grind and I loved every second of it. Great environment to push yourself to the next level.

Fantastic experience: This is my first time in Baltimore, and I have to say this is one of the best gyms that I have ever been too. The atmosphere is amazing, I love the layout! It has everything you need to complete any lifting routine, it also has a modern sheik look to it. The lockers rooms are clean and smell fresh, the people are respectful, and the equipment is in good condition. I definitely recommend this gym if you are visiting.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym! If you are visiting or living in Baltimore this is the go to gym! Anthony makes you feel comfortable and at home had everything we needed and more plus beyond clean! def worth it ! 1000% coming right back

Fantastic experience: Fantastic Gym! I travel around the country for work and this is one of my favorite places to workout. I wish I lived closer! The staff is amazing, the vibe is great, and the equipment is top notch!

Fantastic experience: Amazing place to get work in

Fantastic experience: Great spot

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym!!

Fantastic experience: Traveling for business. Called ahead of time and Anthony was extremely help. Looking for a hardcore gym and it certainly did not dissapoint. Great atmosphere, Good selection of equipment, courteous and knowledgeable staff. Highly recommend this gym!!

Fantastic experience: This gym is an incredible hidden gem in the heart of Baltimore's inner harbor, with awesome employees who truly make you feel at home while you are working out. The environment and equipment are top notch, can't wait to go back for another workout!

Fantastic experience: Grind Baltimore has an amazing selection of machines, very nice Rogue barbells. Love the metal plates and the environment. Had a great workout

Fantastic experience: I’m from out of town and was looking for a gym for the weekend. The owner set me up with a daypass and was very accomodating. The gym overlooks the water which is nice. It is very spacious with plenty of machines and has something for every kind of person working out. They even have a climbing rope area, basketball halfcourt, and a sauna. Would definitely be a member if I was living in the area.

Positive experience: Good general/bodybuilding gym especially considering price and quantity of free weights. Not really suited for specialized sports like powerlifting or weightlifting, but you can make it work if you really want to train there. I left a couple of months ago and I know they’ve made some upgrades since then and I’m sure more are coming, so take the following with a grain of salt: General pros: Friendly owners/trainers, spacious, no contracts/annual fees, reasonable price, located in the inner harbor, garage parking validation (generously reduced price), lots of iron & bumper plates, very rare to walk in and not be able to use the piece of equipment you want. My personal pros: gymnastics rings, Rogue fitness rig (plenty of pull-up bars, one long muscle up bar, space to rack 4 barbells.), a power bar, several women’s 33lb weightlifting barbells Cons: dilapidated platforms likely due to members dropping iron on them not knowing any better, located at the top of the old power plant building so it gets very hot in the summer *My personal and very specific cons that really only matter if you specialize in powerlifting or weightlifting: no power racks (2 incline squat racks in lieu), CAP iron plates, uneven flooring

Fantastic experience: Grind has been great from the start. Communication was prompt and direct. I'm so glad I was paired with an awesome personal trainer in Anahys. Anahys was extremely patient as I was getting back into the flow and regaining my balance. She is organized, reliable and I always leave our sessions feeling stronger. I've never been a AM workout person, but I I'm having fun and look forward to getting up and going! 5 weeks in I'm feeling healthier, happier and looking better too ayyy.

Fantastic experience: The Grind is without a doubt the BEST Gym in Baltimore! Jay and Coby were super friendly, helpful, and went the extra mile to help you achieve your goals! If you are looking for a REAL gym, look no further! There are plenty of deadlift platforms, 2 yokes, squat racks, bench racks, accessory machines, Dumbbells, a half basketball court, boxing area, an artificial turf area, a Normatec compression therapy leg system, and so much more! Anthony is super easy to reach out to and willing to work with whatever training length of time you need, which was awesome only being here for the summer. I would highly recommend you check out The Grind to achieve your health and fitness goals !

Fantastic experience: I recently found out about this gym! It is in the heart of the city with a beautiful view of the harbor on both east and west sides of the building and windows on ¾ sides of the building! Anahys is such an amazing trainer there! She is always super accessible, encouraging, and an expert when it comes to fitness, nutrition, and general health & wellness advice. I’m very surprised at and happy about the progress I’ve made with her guidance, so if you need that extra push to help achieve your fitness goals, I absolutely recommend Grind Baltimore and training with Anahys! More things I like about the gym: Other trainers are equally helpful when a guest needs something (e.g. a certain lifting bar). The showers are always kept clean, and they let you bring your bike in the gym for safety vs most other gyms where you have to leave your bike outside. They also give parking passes for the Pier V garage, either for discounted parking or for an unlimited parking subscription, which is VERY convenient and adds peace of mind when getting there if you’re in a rush to find parking. Only good things to say about this place! It really is unique!

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym with a CrossFit/powerlifting feel to it. I’m only in town for a week but they’ve made me feel like family!

Fantastic experience: I’ve never been to a gym like grind .... From the views to the motivated individuals you see everyday achieving goals! Every trainer is knowledgeable & passionate about fitness! Low key grind is the best gym in the city

Fantastic experience: The Grind is an awesome gym located in the inner harbor. If you’re serious about working out and bettering yourself this is the place to be. The environment is unmatched and motivates you to push yourself.

Fantastic experience: The best gym in Baltimore. The vibes are literally maximal, the staff and trainers (like me :)) are very helpful and try to make everyone of any training ability feel as comfortable as possible! If you’re looking a REAL gym to get a GREAT workout, this is the place for you!

Fantastic experience: Great gym! I'm from Florida and was in Baltimore for a family member surgery. The owners were extremely accommodating and allowed me to workout. They have everything you'll need from dumbbells to 120lbs, free weights with plated machines, crossfit area, power lifting area with drop plates. They have thought of everything. This place also has a great atmosphere because of the old historical building. Great experience!

Fantastic experience: Wonderful gym in Baltimore. Great location, every piece of equipment you could want, never crowded, super laid back. I hate dealing with the salesy gyms in the area, that can't give you a straight answer on price, membership terms, etc. They were super straight forward and easy to work with. It's not fancy, but if you are looking for a legit place to get your work out in this is your spot.
