Been to 10 or so crossfire nation wide and by far the cleanest and most organized. The coaching was very self-,tailored to each individual and skill level. Super welcoming, informative, and extremely helpful. Great form coaching and awesome work out. Loved it!

Amazing coaching and community, Jack & Eric drive you to become a better version of yourself no matter what that looks like. Classes range from super fitness levels to 70+ year olds. Highly recommend and the coaching and fitness planning is well worth the $$

I started going about 18 months ago, and I would give the strongest possible recommendation for anyone of any age, fitness level, or CrossFit experience level to join. Each class has people of all levels show up, and the coaches do an incredible job of making it work for everyone. Most importantly, they make it work for everyone safely. At the same time, they don’t let you off the hook if you’re not pushing yourself, and I trust their judgment implicitly. I am firmly on the non-competitive end of the spectrum of people who would be willing to do CrossFit, and the atmosphere has never been “too much” for me. If you go for a month, you’ll never want to quit.

I came to Fairwinds looking for a gym but found so much more. The Coaches and Athletes really make it a friendly/familyEnvironment. Each day look forward to seeing all of my creek mates!

My wife and I have been going to Fairwinds for several months and love it. Great community with people of all fitness levels. Always feel welcome. The coaching is great and while I have the ability to go to another CrossFit gym for free, the community and coaching is what makes it worth it.

As a swimmer, I’ve been cross-training here since July. I thought I would stop once school started but here I am doing the Open 3 months later! Love the teens class, Eric is an incredible coach. If you’re a high school athlete looking to build strength and improve in your sport, you should definitely come here.

I have to agree with all the great reviews of Fairwinds CrossFit...its truly an amazing gym, with amazing coaching. And...for all you parents out there looking for a healthy, positive way to get your kids active and exercising, Sunday mornings at Fairwinds CrossFit is a great place to bring them. I bring my 10yo twins and their 11yo cousin, and while they are all 3 very different in their likes and activity levels, they love it here. Eric does a great job keeping the kids engaged and moving and working hard. And all the while smiling! Its a great kids class at a great price!

Fairwinds crossfit is amazing! I have always heard of crossfit but never tried it. I gave it a try this week for the first time and all I can say is WOW about Fairwinds. Eric is a great inspiration and coach for first time crossfitters and also great motivation to the other guys in the class who have been there for years. He doesnt make anyone feel left out or not on the same level. I am from out of town and stopped in for two classes. And i will definitely be back again! They make you feel LIKE family. This place has Top of the line equipment and training. If you are looking for First Class Training go to Fairwinds CrossFit!!!

Interested in challenging yourself, trying a new workout program, and meeting the best people Annapolis has to offer? Definitely check out Fairwinds CrossFit! You will leave every class feeling a little bit stronger (a lot more sore) and looking forward to the next day’s workout. Coaches Jack, Eric, Amy and Mary have created a welcoming, fun environment with truly something for everyone.

The owners and fitness community at Fairwinds could not be better. They get to know you, modify workouts according to goals and ability and care. An awesome experience all around!

Phenomenal coaches, community and workouts. Every coach is attentive to meeting the coaching needs of the each individual athlete. Expert coaching allows CrossFit to be accessible to anyone. Walk in the door to give it a try, but prepare to be hooked! Cant recommend highly enough!

Fairwinds has a great community. The purpose of Crossfit is to bring people together, to promote healthy habits, expose the benefits of consistency, and foster an environment which allows everyone to be at their best, while encouraging others to do the same. Fairwinds embodies this and so much more!!

Dont let CrossFit in the name deter you. This is more than a CrossFit gym. For me this is my family, its my therapy, its my struggle, and my accomplishment (yes, in that order). I go into this gym everyday knowing that the coaches wont make just good decisions, but the right decisions for me. Both Jack and Eric value the development of their community members mind, body, and soul, and it shows not only through their constant devotion, but also through the devotion of each and every member. I could continue with their praises, but thats not why youre reading this. Youre reading this to find out whether its worth it. Yes. 100% this gym is worth every penny.

FWCF is a special place. Although I may be a bit biased (I’m married to Eric), Fairwinds stands apart from other CrossFit gyms and Fitness Centers I joined in the last ten years. Jack and Eric live and breathe CrossFit because they really believe in the approach, and they have an amazing group of members who are living proof that it works. They believe in the methodology and stick to it. They don’t try to do anything flashy or fancy, while still keeping things fresh and fun. They are knowledgeable, encouraging, creative and approachable. The environment they’ve created includes the perfect balance of fun and challenge. If you like to have fun, make connections with great people and want to work hard to reach your fitness goals, Fairwinds will certainly meet your expectations, and I can say with confidence that it’ll most likely exceed them.

The coaches are fantastic!!! The community is spectacular!! The workout programming is always challenging and exciting! All around, the best gym Ive ever been apart of!

Coaches Eric and Jack are the best! Theyre always helping athletes get better with a great balance of support & encouragement while pushing us to work hard. The other members are welcoming and always support each other. So glad I found this place!

Great people, great workouts! They are very effective at coaching CrossFit. 11 months in and hooked.

This is a very welcoming gym. Coaches are awesome!!! Im very happy to be a member of the Fairwinds CrossFit community.

Great box with great coaches. Everyone is very friendly. Workouts are awesome!

Fairwinds is nothing short of a blessing. Not only do I get to lead a healthy lifestyle by doing challenging workouts, but I have also found some of the greatest people that Ive ever met at this box. I have always had a difficult time with endurance, but it wasnt until I started going to Fairwinds that I saw myself drastically improve in this area. I am so thankful for Coach Jack and Coach Eric. --Ryenn

I’ve visited CrossFit gyms around the world & am so glad that this one is my home. Jack & Eric are great coaches. The community is warm and welcoming to everyone. If you’re in the area, drop in!

I dont even know where to start with this review, because truly, everything is amazing about this gym. This is the best CrossFit gym I have ever been a part of in my almost 5 years of doing CrossFit, and I have been a part of many gyms in various states. I dont know if this review can actually do this gym justice, but here we go.In my opinion, there is one thing that makes a great gym- the owners and the coaches. They set the tone and the intention for their gym. They are the core of the relationships built within the walls of their facility. Jack and Eric are the reason why Fairwinds CrossFit stands far apart from any other CrossFit facility. They are the most humble, positive, and nurturing coaches I have ever had the opportunity to know and learn from. They encourage you to ask questions, to be yourself, and to have fun in this gym. They also push you to maximize your potential and they absolutely care about your safety. I have seen so much growth in my athletic ability since training under them. I even got my first pull up, which for me, is huge because I was never the athletic type growing up. I could go on and on, but ultimately, Fairwinds would not be what it is without these two incredible human beings. I am also forever grateful to them for being there for my husbands first CrossFit experience- something that he was extremely anxious and nervous about. They did something right, because he has continued with it since weve moved.When I decided to get my L1 certification, Jack and Eric supported me 10000% of the way, and taught me so much of what it means to be a great coach. Just like in a workout, they pushed me to really maximize my own potential. I am so honored to have been able to learn from both of them during my time there.No gym even compares to the amount of learning and fun and hard work you will experience at Fairwinds. If you are open to it, you will make friends. You will have fun. You will have a strong community supporting you. If you are on the fence, dont be. Just stop by, say hello, and get your butt in there for a workout. You will not regret it!

More than a gym (although its certainly a great one with excellent coaches), fairwinds is an incredibly welcoming community. id been searching for a while to find my people - search is over. done. come and see for yourself. :)

Both coaches, Jack and Eric, are knowledgeable about Crossfit and fitness in general as well as extremely personable. They have built a great community of people who welcome newcomers and experienced crossfitters alike. They will always push you to do your best and help you along your fitness journey. If you stay consistent with your attendance and always ask questions when you are uncertain they will certainly be able to get you to your goals.

Terrific trainers and athletes! What a great community - and its on the water!

Jack and the community at Fairwinds was amazing, super welcoming and an awesome community and workout. Thanks for hosting us, it was a great CrossFit experience. Highly recommend!

Such an incredible experience at Fairwinds CrossFit. All the coaches are incredibly helpful and very accommodating to first time crossfitters!

Fairwinds CrossFit is, quite simply, the best gym in Annapolis. I can say this with 100% confidence because--as someone who truly values fitness--Ive tried almost every gym in the Annapolis area before committing to Fairwinds. After 1.5 years with this gym, I have happily traded in my multiple memberships for one golden ticket to Fairwinds. Though I had never tried CrossFit before, after just a few classes with Jack, I was hooked. Unlike other workout routines I’ve tried in the past, every day was something new, exciting, and challenging. Plus, under Jack’s attentive, enthusiastic guidance, I found myself getting stronger, faster, and more flexible while having a ton of fun. Contrary to the negative stereotype that CrossFit induces injuries, thanks to Jack’s careful programming, I have never experienced such a balanced workout program. To this day, I have never felt the strain of overusing only certain muscles; instead, I feel a massive boost in athleticism overall and I continue to hit PRs in strength, speed, and agility.In addition to the multiple draws of the Fairwinds CrossFit exercise program, I cannot say enough about the coaches or the community. Jack is incredibly knowledgeable in all things CrossFit and nutrition, but he is also educated in mindfulness, human behavior, and the influence of exercise in the improvement of long-term cognitive change. The guy is pretty much a walking encyclopedia, one of the smartest people I’ve ever met, so do yourself a favor and pick his brain during your mobility work. Eric has been an incredible addition to the Fairwinds team, bringing a ton of energy, enthusiasm, and his own valuable expertise. He is also a rockstar with kids and the youth CrossFit program! While the coaches drew me in, the people keep me coming back. I look forward to seeing these faces every morning, even at 0515, even when my daughter has kept me up all night. They are endlessly encouraging, supportive, and inspiring, and I am honored to now call them my friends. This whole team is keeping me motivated even now, in my third trimester of my second pregnancy. With my doctor’s blessing, I have been able to continue my CrossFit workouts 4-5 days a week. Compared to my first pregnancy, I’ve gained much less weight, I have more energy, and I even feel better emotionally. I have no doubt these positive changes are a direct result of keeping up with this CrossFit program.I could go on and on about the merits of Fairwinds CrossFit, but—better yet—try it for yourself. I guarantee you’ll also be hooked after your first week. Hope to see you at the marina soon!

We almost gave up on Crossfit until we walked into this box. It’s not only a place where you go to “workout” it’s a place you go to truly get more fit and a community that no matter what level you are, or who you are, you’re met by super kind people.

Great coaches, facility, and community. Best gym I have been to. I highly recommend it.

Looking to get back into CrossFit a year ago, I checked out Fairwinds CF, and was hooked. Jack and Eric are awesome and knowledgeable coaches and the great community it offers was an added bonus.

Super friendly and welcoming community and coaches, even to those of us just passing through. Made it easy to come back again and again during our brief stay in Annapolis

Bottom line - This place is awesome.As a crossfitter for 9 years, I have had the opportunity to visit many different boxes and gyms, in many different locations across the US. Fairwinds Crossfit is the very best I have attended. Top notch coaches who are constantly up to date on the latest methods, skill training, technique accessory exercises, and needs of their clients BUT have not forgotten the importance of the fundamentals of fitness and having fun. Programming that makes sense and expertly combines strength, skill, and conditioning for all skill levels - I am so impressed with their ability to scale the programming across a broad range of athletes that ensures everyone achieves their best workout. And I cant say enough good things about the people who go there and work there.Like I said - Just Awesome!

Love this BOX. Love the coaches & community MORE! Welcoming environment, AWESOME WODs and learnings. Its all kinds of physical, mental AND highly SOCIAL. Theres not much in the way of glitz and glamour and no mirrors... effing LOVE it! Events like the crossfit Open and B4B are among some of my favorite box Team experiences :)

Love this box! Great community, great workouts! Incredible coaching!

Come! Its so worth it. People are amazing, coaches are the best. Do eeettt!!!

Hands down the best CrossFit box in Annapolis, MD. An extremely welcoming community partnered with professional coaching makes Fairwinds the place to be. Located right on the water does hurt!

I find myself so lucky to be a member of Fairwinds Crossfit. My coaches Jack and Eric, who also own the box together are fantastic coaches, willing to help in any way as they are training the classes. They are smart, humorous and always cheer for us as we push ourselves. I am so fortunate to be part of a great membership of awesome people. Everyone cheers each other on. Im proud to call many members my friends. I look forward to working out 4-5 days a week. I have been a member at other crossfit gyms. But non compare to Fairwinds Crossfit. YAY!!! JM

Prepare to meet your new bffs

Awesome space, awesome coaches, and awesome members

Very friendly and professional coaches.
