Whether it's free weights, Zumba or the elliptical machine, we want to know where Ellicott City Patch readers go to break into a sweat.

Here's a list of gyms in the area:

We have included a variety of businesses from our listing to include private gyms as well as athletic clubs, but if we didn’t mention your favorite, please, add it in the comments and we’ll add it to the poll.

Because this poll is not scientific, it is not the sole consideration in choosing a winner. The winner will be determined by the Patch editor, based on poll results and reviews on Patch Places and in comments on this article, so be sure to rate the business and leave a review of your favorite spot.

And please, vote only once per survey, per Patch; poll closes 9 a.m. on Friday.
