The national chain, Anytime Fitness, currently has four locations in Frederick, Whittier, Ballenger Creek, Spring Ridge, and Thurmont. The gyms are open 24 hours so you can fit your workout in whenever you need to. However, they are not staffed all 24 hours so if you need assistance or need to meet with a trainer, check the staffed hours first. You can go to all Anytime Fitness locations with your membership so it’s convenient when you travel, even internationally! Memberships start at $50 per month.

You can access small-group training, team workouts, one-on-one personal training if you want guided support for your workouts. You can get free fitness consultations, body composition scanning and wellness programs. There’s even an Anytime Fitness app that you can use to access personalized workouts, schedules, and community boards.

In addition to personal and small-group training, you can attend Spinning, Zumba, body conditioning, and yoga classes. Each location has their own schedule so be sure to check class days and times before you go.

Anytime Fitness also has all the usual equipment that you would see in a fitness center. Treadmills, ellipticals, rowing machines, bicycles, free weights, power racks, kettlebells, battle ropes, lateral trainers. and adaptive motion trainers which are cardio machines that adapt to the users needs rather than the other way around.

These gyms are very inclusive and offer something for everyone no matter what your personal needs and goals are. They are clean and have a nice aesthetic. The Whittier location has a beautiful view of the lake while you’re doing your cardio too! Check out these great gyms!

Frederick County is home to 1300 different farms and over 100,000 acres of productive farmland. Agriculture is the oldest industry in the county and we do it well! Everything from grass-fed meats, cheeses, organic produce, honey, wine and spirits and even dog treats. There are plenty of opportunities to take advantage of fresh, healthy foods from CSA programs and local farmers markets. Not to mention that Frederick County is also a hotbed for quality craft artisans that are featured at said markets.
