Can anyone recommend a good weightlifting gym in Baltimore? I don't want group training or classes or anything. Just a place with a few cages, benches, etc that allows chalk and doesn't cost more than buying my own equipment.

Open Weightlifting Gym Recommendation? Does anyone have one?
Found some threads about this, but they were either very old or looking for other types of gyms.
I'm in the area for 1-3 months and am just looking for something open, with decent quantity/quality equipment, that either doesn't require a contract at all (ideally) or at least not a horrible one that requires me to hire a crack legal team to break.
A friend told me Canton Club, but they've closed. It kind of looks like my options are Merritt, a bunch of boutique/crossfit gyms that start at 150+/month, or tiny, basement gyms with 1 rack and 2 treadmills.
Merritt is already sketching me out with their used car salesmen routine, and some reviews say that their contracts are exactly what I described above.
Can anyone comment on them? Are there other, better options that I'm overlooking?
