Are there alot of churches claiming to be reformed that would preach against holding to the sabbath day? Is this unique?

This is common in "Reformed" Baptist churches that still cling to one form of dispensationalism or other, e.g. NCT.

It also depends what you mean by 'holding to the sabbath day'. I know presbyterians who claim to hold the whole of the WCF without exception but their view of the Sabbath is rather low.

What do you say to the Baptist that claims, "Our Sabbath is in Christ, it is fulfilled in Him"? They say, "Jesus is our Sabbath rest."

This is the position that I have encountered most frequently. I really don't know what to say. While it is true that we have rest in Christ, it is also true that we are to rest on the Lord's Day. Any thoughts on how to respond to the above claim?

It doesn't seem very common in my circles. But we don't have the quotes around the word Reformed. And, as you qualified, we don't hold to dispensationalism or NCT.
Walt Chantry, a Reformed Baptist, holds a pretty high view of the Sabbath in his book "Call the Sabbath a Delight".

You're not kidding. One such church in our past features a praise band, lead singers with microphones, "children's church", and no evening worship. The annual Super Bowl party includes an imported big-screen TV and they tell you to bring your lounge chairs.
