Great Coaching, Great Atmosphere

My husband and I continue to be so impressed with the knowledge of the owners and their commitment in helping people learn. This gym is great for all ages and levels of lifters. The best experience I've ever had at a gym!

Without question the best gym in the Baltimore/DC area for getting strong. The facility is wonderful and the coaches are some of the most respected in the industry. I can't say enough good things about the quality of the gym and coaching staff.

I've been a member for a little over a month now. This gym experience is like no other I've had.

Most importantly - this is a gym where they know your name. Emily, Diego, Jay, and Craig are all there, keeping an eye on everything and offering helpful advice and coaching.

Emily and the rest of the gang set the tone for the building. This is a positive environment and I really feel like everybody (and every body) is welcome. I spent some time not wanting to go to the gym because I didn't think someone with a body like mine would fit in. That notion was dispelled in my first session here. All kinds of people here are at every stage in their strength pilgrimage.

The coaches are talented and accredited by a program I trust. The starting strength method is about 5 lifts, and these coaches are experts. It's not a certification you can get in a weekend or by taking an online class.

This place is more expensive than other gyms. That turned me off for a little while. But a gym like this doesn't just happen. When I am there on an average Wednesday evening after work, there are maybe 5-10 people working out and there are 2-3 coaches training them. That kind of personal attention is worth far more than the sticker price.

One night my wife went in without me (I was working late, caught up with her later) and they asked where I was. Most gyms count on you NOT coming in to make money. This gym NEEDS you to come in because their business is making athletes.

A Starting Strength gym, took a private session and a squat session. Great place, Emily and Diego are awesome, really know their stuff, very motivational.

Emily is the best. You'll get an excellent foundation for strength training and the sweat doest hurt either.

If you're in the area (or even if you aren't), check this place out. Spent a few hours here learning how to lift a barbell safely and correctly, and it's paid off in spades. Planning on taking my wife here, because they are very female-friendly. Definitely worth the visit. I'm looking forward to going back.

No nonsense, no meathead strength training.

Great coaches and great facility. Racks, platforms, strongman equipment, turf yard space for conditioning.

Dropped in from out of town to train and received personal coaching from Christian who coached my press and deadlift. The owner Emily was super personable and told me the story of their gym. Had conversations with several other members in between sets. The sense of community is unreal. They'll help you get strong.

A true strength training gym, has the full package. All the weight equipment you need for complete workout plus friendly and knowledgeable owner, coaches, and members.
My husband and I wanted a place simply to lift weights while in town --this was perfect! No nonsense folks, just members of all ages serious about being strong. There was a 77 year old lady doing beautiful deadlifts.
The owner Emily is a beautiful human being with a passion for helping normal people get strong to prevent or rehab from injuries, arthritis, etc. She gave some great pointers on my own deadlifts. If we lived in Baltimore, this is where we'd train.
Thanks Emily and best to you and everyone at Five x3.
