LifeBridge Health & Fitness




Facilities: We may have to tell you what they do not have here, that would be a shorter list. The gym has more than 200 Cardio machines, each with individual TV; salt water heated swimming pool, plus a therapy pool, three group exercise studios, an indoor running track, rock-climbing walls, luxurious locker rooms with hot tubs, sauna , and steam room; WI-Fi, café, pro shop selling Lululemon and Under Armour gear, and LifeBridge Health in the practice of physical therapy.


Who is that: Since the association of sport with LifeBridge Health fitness (the parent organization of the Sinai and Northwest Hospital) and its location Pikesville, you'll see a lot of suburban boomers working up a sweat as part of their rehabilitation regimen. At the other end of the spectrum, elite athletes, including some of the Ravens, stopping to take part in the Parisi Speed .At school, a conditioning program designed to improve performance.

What's hot: Zumba is by far the most popular classes in the schedule, but strength-training/body-sculpting classes such as Pilates Body Barre and also attract a crowd.

Special features: one-tenth of a mile indoor track, which surrounds the upper floors, provide an opportunity to escape from the yoke of the treadmill and actually, you know, go to a place when you walk. Mountain climbing walls have the beginner and advanced. And the fuel pool is always 83 degrees.

Meet the coach: Word around the locker room, if you really want to STAT result, people are seeing is a former Towson University-hockey-player-turned-personal trainer Billy Wunderlich. It will not be easy, and you have to work for it, but he will make sure you do.
