Colosseum is love, Colosseum is life. Facility and equipment is well maintained, and they have literally everything that you could ever want whether youre a bodybuilder, strongman, powerlifter, athlete, or someone who just enjoys resistance training. Staff are very friendly and helpful. I really cant recommend this gym enough.

I love this place. Clean, great locker room, friendly vibe. Lots of machines to choose from and all the gear you need to challenge your body.

My Trainer Cesar is amazing! Look him up on Instagram Trainwithcee. He keeps me motivated,inspired and is very helpful! Also the gym is very clean, organized, fun and very friendly environment! Dont miss out on a great experience! I give this place 5 stars all day!!!! The owner of the gym is also great, fun and friendly! Cant stop talking about this place! 💪💪💪💪💪💪

The gym has everything needed for serious lifting and basic cardio. It is definitely an old school, metal plate, no-frills kind of gym that is geared toward picking things up and putting them down.I workout here on occasion with one of the powerlifting coaches/trainers, Josh. He is fantastic. My form has greatly improved in a short time and I am noticing such a difference in my lifts. I would come here as a regular if it wasn’t so far from home.I read that other folks felt like there was a judgement zone here, but I do not get that at all. There is a good mix of beginner, intermediate, and more advanced fitness folks here.Highly recommend for anyone looking to get in some good resistance training.

Well equipped for a smaller sized gym. Well ventilated.

Easily the best gym in the Columbia region for training--be it in a group, individually, or with trainers. Tim and his staff do an outstanding job of creating an awesome environment for making progress. This is not a spa or a fitness center. This is a gym. Be prepared to get dirty. Be prepared to sweat. Sign up here, go, and dont look back. Update: They have expanded into the spaces next door to them and are now better than ever with more equipment and space. Love it.

Great place to workout! People are nice, friendly, helpful, and supportive.

Love this place, been going here a little over 3 years now. BEST GYM EVER

Great gym for serious training, all the equipment you need. Love the powerlifting and strongman side.

If u really want a good body and help with losing weight and toneing up the colosseum gym would be it.

Great gym, great owner.

Great bodybuilding gym. Has a great old skool vibe. They have the open area with treadmills, cable machines, some leg and back equipment. They also have the arena side that has power lifting and free weights.

Power strength gym has been the best experience training there . There very clean always equipped and informative.

One of the best gyms Ive ever experienced. The staff were very helpful, professional and welcoming. Its an old school gym with a variety of machines and barbells to accommodate for bodybuilders, powerlifter/strongman and oly lifters. The personal trainers looks like they genuinely care for their clients.

Outstanding gym, considerate staff, adequate of equipment options for weights and cardio. We always drop in when visiting from out of the country and its a great atmosphere to train in. Thank you.

I love the staffs at this gym, they are very friendly. The gym is clean, good equipments, and they have very good trainers.

Came here for 1 week drop in during the holidays. Absolutely loved it. Staff is chill, fair price, and amazing setup. Im a powerlifter, this place had plenty of racks and platforms in the back. The clientele range from bodybuilders to average Joes, everyones respectful in the gym. Would definitely make this my gym if I lived here!

Great gym with all of the equipment I could ever really need as an Olympic style Weightlifter. I wish that the place was a bit cleaner, and a lot of the equipment in the Arena is treated rather poorly, but its there and works. The owner, Tim, is also a great guy. He and all the staff have always been incredibly friendly.

Been a member for roughly 3 months. Colosseum is one of the better gyms Ive ever been to. Plenty of free weights in the Arena, and plenty of machines up front. Great for anyone from novice to strongman competitors. Staff is welcoming and pleasant, as well. Highly recommend. Cant say enough good things.

Work out here several times a week. This is not a health club but rather a serious gym for individuals who compete in body building. That said, it is not a “meat head” place. Everyone is friendly and helpful. Highly recommend.

I wish I found this place sooner. There are deals on groupon for anyone that wants to check it out. The atmosphere is really chill, the staff is nice and helpful. There is plenty of room, lots of specialty equipment, and the music is always good (no soccer mom pop garbage). I expect to make big gains here!

The most supportive, encouraging place to make your fitness goals and dreams come true!!! Their trainers and instructors have helped me reach my goals. Highly recommend this gym center to all.

Hands down, the best gym I’ve ever trained at. People actually train here and they train hard. Unlike other gyms where most people just hang out or stair at their phones for hours, this place carries so many positive vibes that put you in the mood to push yourself. In addition, the personal trainers here are so unlike other trainers I’ve had before. These trainers actually practice what they preach. They can literally change not only your physique, but your entire life for the better. Nikki Johnston, and David Johnston, hands down the best trainers in town. Their diet coaching, physique and strength coaching is better than anything I’ve see before. If your looking for a gym where you can make real progress, this is it.

Nice place, lots of space, lots of equipment, and nice staff. Dont expect a planet fitness or lifetime fitness vibe, there will be ego lifting, chalk, and tight shirts. Its a down to earth honest gym with a gritty feel. The equipment is maintained but just barely in some cases, torn padding, frayed cables on the cable pulls, bent pins on the squat cages. They also offer $10 day passes which is great if youre just passing through.

Its a great place for the serious weightlifter/ bodybuilder, as well as the average person, but the place needs updating and a good cleaning. Many of the cycles/ treadmills are old or nonfunctional. Nice environment as all shapes and sizes are welcomed. Great heavy weight room and good use of hallway for sleding.

4.5 stars.. Much bigger gym than I anticipated with lots of equipment and several cable towers. The power lifting/ cross fit side is also awesome with a second rack of dumbbells aside from the main gym floor. All the patrons work hard and Ive never had anyone sit on their phone taking up space. Employees are friendly and the trainers seem motivated. Gym could use a good thorough clean in my opinion. Many pads are worn that need to be replaced, but for the cost of this place I understand the approach. I enjoy my time here every time I check in.

Great gym, helpful staff, tons of equipment options for weights and cardio. We always drop in when visiting from out of the country and its a great atmosphere to train in. Thank you.

4.5 stars. Gritty and badass. Good equipment for powerlifters, strongman, and weightlifting. Not the greatest place for bodybuilders due to their lack of a good incline bench or good cable machines. Overall still one of my favorite places to go with a great community and great environment.

Best gym Ive been a member of in a long time. The staff are super nice and they work hard to keep the place clean, the owner too! Its split into two halves. The first half is your typical machines and treadmills.The back half is squat racks, benches, and deadlift platforms which caters more toward the power and Olympic lifters. Great price for what youre getting.

I have met so many wonderful lifters at this gym. It is a great place to get your workout on. If you are looking for things like a spa, or pushy trainers this is not the gym for you.

Absolutely Boss Gym!!! If you are serious about your training you must visit Colosseum. There is everything you need to become a champion or just look and feel better. The owner has an awesome personality, equipment is clean and tons of space to have fun. From Atlas Stones to Stepmills this gym has what you need.

You will either understand this place or you won’t but you will know either way under their generous Groupon offerings. I love it since it is a real gym for bodybuilders and serious workouts, definitely not a spa nor do they have traditional classes. There are peak times but you can usually work out without a hassle. There are no tiered membership like some bs places nearby that make you feel like a 3rd class citizen.

If you are looking for a lavish gym with a sauna, lots of group fitness choices, and a waterfall, this is not the place.If your looking for a gym to get a serious workout in this is where you want to be.Great variety of equipment, tons of heavy free weights and dumbells. Amazing personal trainers.

I trained at the Colosseum for more than 5 years with a personal trainer. The owners were very courteous and friendly and make you feel very welcome. If youre looking for a gym with a swimming pool or a beauty salon the Colosseum is not for you. The Colosseum is a top notch fitness facility which caters to every type of athlete from the recreational to the professional. The Colosseum allows athletes, body builders and power lifters to preform technical lifts and advanced techniques that other gyms will not allow. I highly recommend giving them a try.Gary Berger - Owner of Baltimore Martial Arts Academy

Tim is a really great guy. He maintains an excellent gym with equipment to fit any workout program.Probably best gym in MD.

Its a great gym with great people.

An nice gym for people who are dedicated to getting into shape. The staff are friendly and helpful.

I love Colosseum! After wasting time at Planet Fitness and similar gyms Ive finally found a gym full of motivation. This place is the real deal! I dont think I could ever go back to a commercial gym again. Colosseum has everything you need and even at its peak hours theres never a wait for machines or equipment. Im two months into my groupon intro deal and Ill be joining for life once its up!

Colosseum is the best place in the area to work on any kind of strength training or bodybuilding. Great people; always a fantastic experience interacting with the staff. Would recommend to anyone.

Gym is nice and clean, staff are very nice to everyone and they answer my questions with politeness.

The Colosseum Gym is an old school gym with just plan and simple, free weights, machines, and cardio. I think this is a great gym. It is always clean, Ive never had to wait on a piece of machine, I have not had any problems with my bills and anytime I need help or have a question someone is there to help.

Having a trainer at each and every station really makes you feel like you are having a one on one session.

Definitely get it in here. Great atmosphere of diverse people with I goal. To be healthy and fit.

Best gym in the area. Excellent selection of specialty powerlifting and strongman equipment. Reasonable membership cost.

Ive been a member for 6 years and this is an excellent facility for athletes and recreational gym goers alike.

Looking for a no frills place to train, this is it. Very knowledgeable staff and everything you could want if you are serious about training.

Well I bounce back and forth between LA Fitness and Coliseum gym but they both are pretty decent

While the gym patrons are really hardcore, the cleanliness and choice of machines leaves something to be desired. There is dust everywhere and makes the place seem disgusting. Otherwise it is a pretty good gym.

I only wish there was a gym like this where I live. I love this place, every time I go to visit my boyfriends family this is the place that keep my fitness routine on point. The visrety of equipment, cleanliness and friendly staff is perfect. Oh and the members are just as friendly too.

One of the best games Ive ever been to. Its great for strongman powerlifting or Olympic lifting.

This is a gym for people who are serious about powerlifting and bodybuilding. The employees are great and the trainers are very knowledgeable and approachable. Tim, the owner, is a great guy and runs the best gym in Maryland.

An old school gym for people who are dedicated to getting into shape. The staff are friendly and helpful to all those who are willing to put their time and effort to get healthy.

Best Gym in MD hands down! Sleds/Yokes/Farmers walk equipment. Truly a great place to train.

Huge facility with something for everybody. One of the few facilities with sections dedicated to Strongman and Olympic Weightlifting in the country.

Great gym with a wide range of equipment. Good for powerlifting, bodybuilding, strongman type training.

If you are serious about going to gym and work out, it is the good gym for you! But there is no air conditioner lol

Plethora of equipment and the powerlifting/Olympic lift area is amazing

Been there a little over a year now. Great place for serious powerlifters, strongmen, bodybuilders and regular joes. Towel service is nice. Ive never used the trainers but there are a lot and they seem to get results. Nothing bad that I can say.

My favorite gym in Columbia to get away from it all and really focus on my workout - the staff are friendly, the gym is really chill, and solid lifting/cardio equipment. Theres also an area for stretching/PT/Medballs/Ab work. Nice locker area too!

Great gym. Members tend not to wipe down equipment after use ....sweat on equipment:(

Excellent gym. Intended for those who dont need a fancy gym but a place with knowledgeable people and serious equipment

Pros: lots of lifting equipment, showers, great hours, never too crowdedCons: equipment is old

This gym is not like your average commercial gym. Their equipment is nice and the staff is friendly. This gym is for people that actually workout.

I got the 3 month Groupon membership wtih Colosseum Gym and loved the wide variety of weights and equipment this gym had. There were always staff on hand, and never really had to wait for any weights or equipment while there. Never had a single issue, and the towel service was really handy as well. Stop by today!

Great hardcore gym. It has great facilities for powerlifting, Olympic weight lifting, and bodybuilding. There are multiple squat racks, rubber/wood floors for deadlifts, and bumper plates. There are pictures on the wall of winners bodybuilding and powerlifting competitions. You will regularly see people lifting 400+pounds.I met people who have never touched a barbell, but have placed in the top 3 in powerlifting meets after a year of training. Unlike the generic trainers you would find at a franchise gym, personal trainers here have real world experience. Even if you are morbidly obese and cant climb a flight of stairs without needing to catch your breath, they can turn you into a competitive lifter if you hire them and put in the time/work.

A good gym for the serious lifting enthusiast. On the positive there is plenty of equipment for almost any fitness level or type of competitor. All the equipment worked including the cardio machines. This place has produced a ton of power lifters and even more BB competitors. The pictures on the walls are better than any website portfolio. Id say the 25$ cost for a week pass is money well spent.On the downside, there are virtually no mirrors in the main gym and zero in the power lifting area for those wishing to concentrate on form. The equipment especially the dumb-bells show much use and are in need of maintenance. I had to hand tighten every one I picked up. (Not a single allen wrench in sight) Think safety here. Do you want an 85lb dumb-bell coming apart on you in the middle of a lift? The free-weight benches are almost all incline. No decline for free-weights and only one fixed flat bench by the dumb bells. The one flat/incline bench is a bottle-neck for those waiting to use it. On the upside there is no shortage of bench-press equipment.Overall I enjoyed my workout. The staff (all but one) are attentive and friendly. The patrons are above average and I met plenty of fit-minded friendly folks. No lunks or gym-bunnies. I look forward to using Colosseum my next trip to Columbia.

This gym is legit as hell. Lots of assisted weight lifting equipment, but also a room in the back full of squat racks, bar bells and weights. Compared to the Columbia gyms which are overpriced and full of superfluous add-ons, having somewhere to just run on a treadmill and lift some weights is excellent. Price is pretty cheap too. When I mentioned to the owner I was moving out of Columbia to go to UMBC he offered me a massive discount. I dont know if thats a policy or just a deal he cut with me but either way, that was really cool of him. I used the Columbia gyms for a while but I honestly like this one way better. I do miss the racquetball courts though.

Always great workout equipment. Have a powerlifting section cut off from the everyday gym goers

This gym is great for powerlifting, weightlifting, strongman, and bodybuilding. They have lots of specialty equipment and barbells that you wont find at other gyms. It can get crowded at times.There are 4 deadlift platforms, some of which can double as a weightlifting platform. There are two power racks by EliteFTS, two more squat racks, and a few squat stands. Five flat benches, one incline bench, one decline bench. There are atlas stones, farmers walk bars, axles, and kegs. There is much more equipment, but these are just a few items off the top of my head.

I just got through with training here about an hour and a half ago and i know i will be making the hour drive back up here again. The amount of equipment there is unparalled body building/ powerlifting/strongman/crossfit they have it all.

Fantastic gym for anyone looking for a real place to workout. Plenty of power racks, oly platforms, bumpers, buckets of chalk, atlas stones, tractor tires, sleds, cardio equipment. Pressure free place to workout. Hours are pretty good, staff is widely available. Good intro deal on groupon right now.

The best gym Ive attended in the area, and perfectly in line with my goals.

Awesome gym. Love the weightlifting area

This gym is filled with options for the person who wants a standard workout or a hardcore powerlifting option

Great for powerlifting! Awesome staff and even the patrons are nice.

Fantastic place. Plenty of equipment and space, and friendly staff.

If you are serious about making a change then this is the gym for you. If you just want to tell people you are making a change then go to Planet Fitness

Great gym for those that are serious about their workouts

Great gym with tons of powerlifting, weightlifting, and strongman equipment!

Best place to workout in HOCO.

Great trainers, a welcoming and encouraging place for exercise, training, and fitness

Always love working out with Dave

Been a member since 08. Its a serious gym

Amazing gym, amazing staff.

Excellent gym for powerlifting.

Tim is the best.

The only thing that can bring your stars up from 4 to 5 is your parking space. Get s bigger one, please. It always discourages me to come back when I struggle to park each time. Everything else is okay.

Getto but works

Great space!

My favorite gym

The real mens gym

Great

This gym totally rocks.

No better gym
