The Best Gyms in America for Every Workout

Wellness Centers: Best Mom-and-Pop Shape-up Spot: Brick Bodies

Seven locations in Maryland (brickbodies.com)
$500 for an annual membership

Each of these low-key neighborhood gyms, owned by exercise DVD veterans and husband-and-wife duo Lynne and Victor Brick, is stocked with standard workout tools and offers cardio classes such as cycling, dance and kickboxing almost every hour. But it's the ultra-supportive staff that keeps Brick Bodies members coming back for more. The signature Extreme Brickover Weight Loss Program includes nutritional guidance by registered dietitians, motivational advice, and sessions with personal trainers. "I love the group personal training, the variety of classes -- especially Body Combat -- and the staff. I haven't met my weight goal yet, but I'm enjoying the journey!" member Tori Knight says.

New visitors, sign up for a free 1-month membership at www.BrickBodies.com/fitnessmagazine (offer expires April 30, 2010)
