I have not experienced this club in the new year of 2020. However I spoke to staff and there were very welcoming and very passionate to help me find what best works between locations

BEWARE!!!!! I signed a year membership with Merritt and after 4months I got a job offer and moved to DENVER, CO. They would NOT let me break my contract and were trying to make me pay over $400 to break the contract when I was moving to a state that doesn't have any merritt athletic clubs... After trying to work with them and prove i was moving so far they did not listen or work with me and sent my information to collections. If you plan on having a contract with them make sure you don't plan on moving any where inconvenient.

This specific club is located at a pretty convenient location near the UB Midtown area and Penn Station. The building has a lot of historic charm and makes it a very interesting place to workout. The amenities are great, including the basketball court and running track which I have used extensively. The gym really gives a sensation of space in a city that can feel cramped at times. Also, Corey, who guided me through getting a membership was very friendly, respectful, and courteous as he toured me. The membership prices may be steep for some, but if you can afford it I would highly recommend it. In addition, there is constant access to fresh towels and the men's room facilities are sanitary and spacious. The steam room and showers are also solid. I have yet to visit the other locations, including Canton, but am excited to have the Downtown location close to home :)

This is honestly my home away from home, I'm here as often as possible and my physique has definitely benefited from the dedication that I have for this place. Merritt is awesome

Clean, lots of classes you can try for free with membership. Pools (great outside one at Towson of you have a membership that goes to all the locations)
Easy to cancel a membership.
When I first started going to the gym, I got a free training session. He worked me out so hard that I threw up and was sore everywhere for almost a week. Really turned me off to the gym until I found a routine that I liked. Also ensured I would never spend money on personal trainer ever again.

The best gym of the Baltimore region. You have access to basketball, swimming, saunas, new equipment, recreational pools, and multiple locations for your working out pleasures

I go to all three gyms - Ft Ave., Canton (where I joined) and DTAC & I love the DTAC because it's raw - it's for working out, not posing, talking, etc. You come in, the place is immaculate, fresh towels, amazing staff (a few exceptions) excellent equipment. I mean, everything - a whole room full of heavy bags, multiple handball courts, and the mother of all amenities - the steam room. No one does it better. Been a member 5-years - worth every penny

(5/2019 update: this place is still awesome, here 4-6 times per week. their equipment to member ratio is the best in the city. literally Planet fitness has 25,000 members per location. Merrit has 1/5th that at their locations) This place is amazing. Largest gym in the city, largest amount of equipment and its made from a historic enclosed train yard. As nice as it is, it's got a little character. Which is nice, because a place that's a spa isn't a gym to get sweaty and earn that work out high. Great customer service, never a wait for equipment (because there's so much equipment).
perks: leather chair lounge in men's room, large screen tv in men's locker room, free weight area is huge in selection/size, tons of parking, plus one gym membership gets you to all the merrits.
cons: I selfishly want a tanning booth and a massage chair, but its all good.
I'm there 5-7 days a week.

Overpriced! The Downtown facility looks run down and the layout does not make sense. If you want a more updated facility with better membership prices Maryland athletic club harbor east is much better for cheaper membership price.

The staff members are friendly and the facility is clean. The workout machines are antiquated compared to some other Merritt properties, but the machines all work fine. My only gripe is the locker room. I just don't understand why there are mirrors on every wall surface. I don't want to see everyone undressing from every angle, nor do I want to be seen from every possible angle.

Appreciate the 24 hr access. Large enough to give lots of options for varying your routine. Great staff and management.

Great facility and well maintained. There are more affordable 24hr options but there are amenities here that are unique to the Merritt brand.

Great gym with all the equipment you need. The mornings are pretty empty so I have not had to wait for the machines. The parking lot is a bit small and the layout is strange and a bit awkward.

Great gym with many amenities! Been going for about 4 months and the price tag is worth it. They have a steam room and newly renovated sauna that have been great for the recent cold weather. Staff are friendly are equipment is well taken care off.
