Downtown Athletic fitness Club



Facilities: Because it's open 24 hours, this 100-year, 66 000 square feet converted train depot is never too crowded. Along with the normal list of free weights and exercise equipment, look for parking, racquetball and squash courts, basketball courts, an indoor pool with sauna and steam room, rubber track, and a boxing ring. The vibe is a "cold," said Karen Codd lifestyle consultant. "This state-of-the-art, but not luxurious."

Who's there: The gym offers a wide selection of models of client-city residents, workers and passengers. This is a true "melting pot," says Codd. Both Governor Martin O'Malley and former Mayor Sheila Dixon are fixed.


What's hot: TRX suspension training, which uses cables to improve core strength and flexibility. "You can see in the next 85 years bodybuilders," said the group lifetime fitness columbia md director Ron Crognale.

Special Features: Bar Fresh Fit and grill, where you can go for a beer or a sandwich and watch the game after your workout. Also, because the DAC is part of a network of Merritt Athletic Club, you get guaranteed results at six weeks and can use your membership to work in one of nine regional locations Merritt.
