Coppermine Expands with Maryland Athletic Club Takeover

Maryland-based fitness and lifestyle operator Coppermine has teamed up with mixed-use urban development and real estate investment firm Harbor East to take over management of Baltimore’s Maryland Athletic Club, which is now rebranded as Coppermine Harbor East.

In a recent social media announcement, Coppermine said it plans to invest in the 54,000-square-foot fitness facility—bringing in new equipment, expanding functional fitness offerings, CrossFit-style workouts and introducing more youth programming in both fitness and aquatics.

“The MAC Harbor East will be a wonderful addition to our portfolio, and we are excited to welcome our newest team members and customers to the Coppermine community,” Coppermine owner Alex Jacobs said. “Thank you, Harbor East Management Group, for trusting our brand.”

“We are excited for Coppermine to join the Harbor East family,” Harbor East Management president Tim O’Donald said. “Their commitment to providing best-in-class service is the perfect complement to our vibrant community and shared vision for Harbor East. In addition, we value the opportunity for reciprocity between their other facilities throughout Baltimore, allowing members to enjoy universal access to Coppermine’s amenities throughout the Baltimore area.”
