Total Fitness Gym in Prince Frederick

Do any of you ladies work out at Total Fitness for Women in PF? Guys, do you know women who go there? I need to get back to the gym. Baby boy just turned 3 months old and I really miss working out. I miss the energy going to the gym gives me. Working out at home sometimes happens, sometimes doesn't. I can't seem to let laundry, yardwork or cleaning wait at all. Before I know it, it's time for bed and I've missed working out for the day again.

I need a gym close by that offers childcare, otherwise I'll just keep using my son as an excuse to not work out. I'm going to check the gym out later today, it looks pretty decent online. The fee is great and it looks like they have a lot of good classes as well as a good amount of cardio equipment. Any feedback on the gym would be appreciated. TIA!

Crazy psycho women run that place. I canceled my membership in writing and got a letter a YEAR later saying I owend a year's worth of payments - they had been charging my credit card monthly until I cancelled. They stopped charging my credit card but kept my membership running after my letter. Sent me to collections and I am still trying to straighten it out. I have called multiple times to fix it and have been screamed at more than once. They are NUTS!

They don't seem to do a booming business but there are some people there everyday.... The equipments seems to be adequate and they do have daycare.... The spinning class seems to draw some regulars

I would need classes early early morning, one in the afternoon and right after work... and they offer them in between those times....

I work over in that area and contemplated joining... but chose not to because the classes wouldn't do me any good...

This is a bit off topic but is there a gym for women that offers childcare in St. Mary's? I know Maximum does but that's pretty crowded most of the time. I don't know what other ones do.

Good for you for getting fit! I am getting my a$$ in gear here lately too

Thanks for the replies. I went to check it out & it looks pretty decent. My main concern was that there is childcare available. Otherwise I'd never be able to get to the gym, with hubby's crazy work hours. As for it not being packed, good. I'll be able to get to the equipment I need quickly, work out & get out. I hate gyms where I have to wait or where I have someone waiting for me to hurry up because the place is packed.

They are running a special - work out from now until the end of the year for $140 if you pay in full. Then it's $20 a month in 2010, with month to month billing. So the price is great. After reading jedi2814's post, I asked if I could just pay cash instead of using a card. Thanks fo the heads up, jedi.

Don't forget to ask for a month free... check it out... make sure it's what you want...

Keep your receipt and make sure you know when you contract should end. They had stopped charging my card when I wrote, but kept racking up a monthly payment on my account with them and then sent me a bill a year later for some ridiculous amount after they had already sent me to collections (got that notice a day or 2 later). I never heard from them that whole year they were racking up charges. We'll be going to court soon.
