Fantastic gym, great people, great vibe. Shay is doing a great job helping gain strength and mobility despite chronic back issues. I have never seen such a variety of people doing such a variety of things in a gym—elite high school athletes to non-athletic seniors. All welcome, all getting stronger safely.

I have been with SoBo S&P for three years this fall. James' personal training is an important part of my life. There is a level of personal attention and customized work outs that one doesn't find at most gyms. I am with a small group of regulars which has provided me with a sense of belonging that I've not found elsewhere. SoBo provides an amazing combination of expertise that is personally tailored while creating an atmosphere of encouragement and friendship.

I have been at Sobo for almost a year, and it has been a life changing experience! I came into my training with long-term knee and wrist issues (and recovering from a broken elbow). My trainer, Sam, listened to my issues and he built a program that revolved around healing and (obviously) strengthening. I no longer have pain in the areas that caused me daily issues. Sam is an awesome trainer, and I'm the strongest I've ever been in my life. I highly recommend coming to Sobo!

SOBO is a great gym! All of the trainers are knowledgeable, friendly, and push you to achieve your goals! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a new gym environment whether you are simply looking to get moving or are training for something specific, excited to continue to see SOBO thrive

SOBO is the best Gym I have ever trained at! The staff is welcoming and friendly and I have never been more confident working out. A special thanks to Sam, he has been a wonderful personal trainer and has been nothing but helpful along my journey.

I started coming to SOBO 1.5 years ago. I was having chronic neck and shoulder pain and couldn't seem to find a solution. I started training with Sam who helped me focus on the muscles in these areas and it has been a game changer. I no longer have migraines or severe pain and I am the strongest I've been in a long time. This is truly a community and everyone is so supportive and kind. I highly recommend SOBO to anyone in the South Baltimore area looking for a community gym and/or personal trainer. They are the best!

I’ve been doing personal training with Coach James since 2018 and it’s been amazing! James truly listens to my goals and customizes each program to fit exactly what I need, whether it’s getting stronger, improving mobility or staying consistent. Every session feels focused and motivating, and I’ve seen great results over the years. The whole SOBO Strength and Performance team brings a fun, upbeat energy that makes working out something I actually look forward to. It’s hands down one of the best gyms around for anyone serious about strength, community and results!

I have been seeing Sam through Classpass for over a year now at SOBO Strength and Performance. He is the absolute best! Even in group classes, he takes the time to help everyone, give tips on form, suggest modifications if needed, push you to take on more if you can, etc! I’ve injured my ankle playing soccer several times just this year and he has adjusted my entire workout for that day, gave me stretches and ideas to strengthen my ankle outside of class and gave business cards to a local PT group to help me as well! Sam is reason alone to join this gym! Overall, the gym itself is clean, has a wide variety of weights and equipment and the staff are all very friendly/professional! The 5 star reviews speak for themselves here!

I love working out with Sam, i do personal training and his classes. He makes me feel comfortable and confident doing exercises and pushes me enough to get through them. He takes into consideration all my joint issues and set a plan that works for me. I love the overall vibe of the gym. Everyone is so welcoming, friendly and supportive. There’s events from time to time with food and drinks and ofc fun activities. Highly recommend coming here and training with Sam, whether you’re an athlete or a beginner!

I started out at True Sports Physical Therapy in LP where Megan did a tremendous job addressing lower back pain I had experienced. Megan referred me to SOBO and I can’t be happier with the facility, team and results! The entire atmosphere in the gym is positive and goal driven. I have been training with Coach Zo for a number of months. Coach Zo has helped me build a stronger body, while ensuring the prior back pain has not obstructed my path. Zo has been tremendous, keeping my sessions fun and relaxed while pushing me to reach my goals. He laid out a solid plan from day-one and helped me stay on course. His attention to detail and expertise are evident in the results I have already attained. I can’t be happier with them. I’d highly recommend SOBO and Coach Zo for individuals with any level of experience. Coach Zo has helped me become stronger without sacrificing form during my weightlifting sessions. His positive attitude and persistent mindset can help anyone become stronger and fit.
