CFC is awesome! They help each and every member work hard in the gym to achieve success. They focus on form and technique over anything (coming from a personal trainer myself). They want you to work hard, but work hard safely. If you are looking for a great community and environment, I highly recommend CrossFit Catonsville!

This is not your average CrossFit gym! As a CrossFit beginner - I never felt out of place, not strong enough, or not good enough. This gym feels like family! Everything is scalable - athletes of all shapes, sizes, ages, and ability-level are welcomed and celebrated. If you’re looking to push yourself beyond your comfort zone in a safe, yet challenging, environment - look no further!

CFC is by far the best gym I have ever attended! From the first day I felt as though they cared more about my well-being and safety than I could have ever expected. The coaches are knowledgeable, motivating, and helpful. The members, coaches and owners create and environment that is fun and encouraging. I always look forward to going.

Took a chance on CFC after dating a couple of other boxes and I haven’t looked back since. Staff and leadership are all super friendly and knowledgeable and the atmosphere is great; none of the hyper-bro attitude that I’ve experienced other places. I enjoy working out again thanks to the CFC crew.

The facilities are always clean and the place is never too crowded. If you’re looking to get a new gym membership I definitely recommend you give Anytime Fitness a visit!

I love this gym and I love working out now! I used to do the treadmills and ellipticals over and over and the routine got boring. Its hard to motivate yourself to do something you dont love. I LOVE coming to class and I cant wait until 6:00pm when the WOD (workout of the day) is posted for tomorrow. I am in my mid 30s and in the best shape of my life. The coaches are great, the members are super supportive and it feels like a community. We all bond together suffering through these workouts. Cant recommend this gym or CrossFit enough.

CrossFit Catonsville was the community I didn’t know I needed! Not only is it full of knowledgeable coaches who help me push myself physically, it is also made up of encouraging and inspiring members. If you’re on the fence about CrossFit, this is the place to try it!

Gret gym! Awesome coaches! Variety of classes suporting CrossFit training. Incredible community!!I came back to CFC 3 weeks after knee surgery and the coaches made sure I had scales/modifications for EVERYTHING and that I was getting a great workout in while being safe! At times, they ended up creating a totally separate workout for me in order to accomodate the knee. All witbout hesitation and I never had to ask.

I never imagined Id do Crossfit. I didnt consider myself a hardcore athlete, or an athlete of any type. My exercise goals and motives were always muddled. But at age 53, I knew I needed something more than what I was getting working out on my own. While I needed more variety in my workouts and needed to learn better technique and exercise more intensely, what I needed most was to develop confidence in myself. I needed to know I could push through the limits I had set on myself, and Crossfit Catonsville has helped me do that. The coaches here are great, and the other athletes are very supportive and encouraging. The ownership and management have gone beyond the call of duty to make the exercises and the gym safe during this time of Covid 19. I heartily recommend Crossfit and Crossfit Catonsville in particular to anyone who is unsatisfied with their exercise routine and is looking for a way to make fitness a lifestyle rather than just a duty.

Crossfit Catonsville is amazing! Ive always found it difficult to stick to consistently visiting a regular gym. But the supportive staff keeps me coming and motivated to stick with it. Ive been a member since 2015, and have enjoyed the community that owners Chris and Lauren, GM Amanda and all the coaches have helped nurture. Everyone is so supportive and caring.They also offer a wide variety of classes that help us become well rounded athletes. I appreciate everything Ive learned and achieved at Crossfit Catonsville. 10 out 5 stars!

This is more than just a gym. This place is a family- whether you’re old friends or new members. The classes are always difficult, but fun and I always leave in a better mood than when I arrived.The coaches are all amazing and the workouts are made funnier by their comments and spontaneous solo dance parties.I can’t wait to keep coming back as the years go on. I’ve found my friends, and I’ve found my home.

CrossFit Catonsville is a community of amazingly supportive and hardworking individuals. Chris sets the tone with his upbeat and encouraging attitude and great dance skills. His wealth of knowledge helps each one of us achieve goals we never thought possible. I love having many classes to choose fromas well. I get a truly balanced workout with CrossFit, kickboxing and yoga throughout the week. I wouldnt dream of going anywhere else!

Loved this place! Its full of great people and instructors, I did kickboxing. Other gym goers were very nice and inclusive. The only reason I stopped was because I moved further away, but I havent been able to find a gym that I like as much so I may end up dealing with the longer drive and head back.

This gym is great if you are looking to join a community where youll find athletes that match your goals- whatever they may be. As tortuous as the workouts can be, the gym is run so that it is a very social and fun atmosphere that keeps me coming back. There are a variety of classes beyond CrossFit offered to add options that fit your interests- from Kickboxing, to Yoga or even kids classes. Weekend hours are slim, but if you enjoy a gym where the membership is light enough that you actually get to know everyone who works out around your schedule and you know that it pushes you harder when you workout with friends, then this is your best option.

Great place to get in shape. Ive been going for over a year and love the people and the brand new space they just moved into (literally 2 doors down so its in the shops on Mellor still). Theyve got fitness classes, crossfit, and knowledgeable professionals that keep you safe and always go above and beyond.

There is something extremely empowering about Crossfit Catonsville. The people here are not just a group of people that go to the same exercise group. They ask about you when you miss classes, they celebrate your achievements, and not a single one of them cares that you are the slowest runner that has ever lived, only that you tried. I honestly cannot recommend them highly enough, especially for people with chronic injuries: they are amazing at working with you and your body to reduce future injuries and make you stronger.

Ive never had a fitness experience like the one I am having as a member of CrossFit Catonsville. The workouts are tough, dynamic and fun. The community of athletes are supportive and everyone is encouraged to push themselves into greatness. The coaching staff is knowledgeable and motivating. I highly recommend CrossFit Catonsville to anyone looking to transform themselves and achieve new levels of fitness.

This is a great CrossFit gym! Great price for quality instructing. So far I have only taken Kickboxing and Yoga classes here and I have absolutely enjoyed it! I cant wait to start my CrossFit training. If you want a great program, meet amazing people and be in the presence of talented athletes, go to this gym!

Great gym. This is the only CrossFit box Ive ever visited so I cant compare, but its a great location with tons of parking. For me its all about the people. If you stay through a few classes and hang in there the other members pretty much become family. Chris the owner keeps it informal and fun, yet this is some of the hardest exercise Ive ever done. Check it out.

I was talked into trying CrossFit at CrossFit Catonsville by a friend, then I was talked into a one month membership figuring that would be the end of it. Here I am a year later still working out at CrossFit Catonsville despite living 45 minutes away and loving every minute! The coaches are awesome, the members are awesome, never once did I feel out of place or judged. Everyone is super supportive, Im stronger than I ever would have imagined, and my self confidence is off the charts. I would highly recommend CrossFit Catonsville to anyone looking for a change in their fitness routine thats fun and effective but be careful you may become addicted!

Working with Chris has always been a pleasure. If you are looking for a place to become more physically fit, then look no further. I have been making progress in my goal of becoming a stronger version of myself. Also, seeing the progress of others at CrossFit Catonsville is encouraging. Everyone there is trying to get better.

I was invited to CrossFit Catonsville a few months ago by some friends and it was the best invite Ive ever gotten. I had done 5 years as an active duty Marine, so I thought that getting back into physical fitness was going to be easy and seamless. After 2 trips to CrossFit Catonsville, I realized that it would have been much easier if I had stuck with training and kept in shape. Needless to say, Im now driving past 5 other CrossFit gyms just to come to CrossFit Catonsville 2-3 times a week.The trainers Eric and Susan, and the owner Chris, are by far the most professional and knowledgeable trainers Ive come across and their dedication to the fundamentals of CrossFit is extensive. They work with you to ensure youre doing the vast amounts of lifts and exercises in the best and most fundamentally sound way possible to avoid injury and have the maximum impact to attain the goals youre striving toward. It also says a lot when your trainers do the workouts and have a full comprehension of the impacts and issues that may arise.If youre transition from the military to civilian life or simply want to better yourself and want to be surrounded by a like-minded group of individuals, you cannot pass up an opportunity to visit CrossFit Catonsville. The community of athletes that trains there gives a sense of camaraderie with like-minded people that wants to see everyone excel at their training.Overall, even if you havent considered CrossFit or dont think you could do it, you have everything to gain by giving CrossFit Catonsville a try.

CFC is awesome!!! I bought 2 kickboxing Groupons in June for my daughter and I to try the kickboxing classes, and ended up continuing my membership at the gym after she went back to college in August. From the first day that we started, the owner, Chris, and the other members welcomed us with open arms! The environment is so friendly and positive; all of the members continually support and inspire each other! Chris is truly amazing at making each class unique so you never get bored! He will work you harder than you ever imagined, but you will feel awesome from it and will want to go back! This is by far one of the best things Ive done for myself many, many years!

Looking over the bios of the Coaches...only two are certified and of those two, only one has been certified for Level 2, the other has been a coach since Jan. 2015. Crossfit has grown too rapidly and has allowed Boxes to open with out having anyone who is actually certified to correct persons postures/form. THIS particular box, only has one person who has been trained to train who is one of, from what I could find, 5 people in the Baltimore area. There are over 10 Boxes, one of those Boxes has two Level 2 certified coaches. I love Crossfit, but I will not pay some guy or gal who has been just working out, hundreds of dollars to Train me. I can get that kind of advice at any Globo Gym. GET YOUR PEOPLE CERTIFIED and people, dont pay some schmuck $150+ per month if they arent actual trainers. Thats a rip off.I give 2 stars because you have A, as in ONE actual trainer and ONE coach. The other Coaches are just normal people who have been working out for a while. Id come in and actually try it, but I dont want to get injured due to negligence of someone who isnt certified...

Ive been doing CrossFit for almost 3 years and recently made the decision to switch boxes; it was getting difficult to make my way into the city to work out every morning, and with my better half in law school every night, I needed a bit more flexibility in my life.CrossFit Catonsville is very close to home, they have a great class schedule (especially for a smaller gym), and kickboxing and yoga are included in their membership! Chris, the owner and head coach, is awesome; I find that his style of coaching is very focused on technique and he has lots of suggestions on how to scale WODs with the goal of getting stronger, not just finishing a workout. Ive already PRd on several lifts in the past month at CFC. Eric and Susan are also fantastic coaches, and Ive really benefitted from some of the pointers and suggestions they have made.As anyone who does CrossFit will tell you, the community aspect is what keeps folks coming back for more. The people here are AMAZING and friendly, and I have felt so welcome from the beginning.This is a great box for people who have been doing CrossFit for a while, and an excellent box for beginners. The prices are really fair, and, as previously mentioned, you have a few other options for how to get a good workout in with kickboxing and yoga!

Review №47

I joined Crossfit Catonsville because I wanted to become a stronger cyclist and because I love meeting new people. At the time Chris was the only coach, and a great one at that! I tend to forget things easily ie. positions for movements, and Chris was very patient with me and would thoroughly explain each step, and then watch me carefully to make sure I was doing it correctly. Im pretty sure it was every class for the first two weeks! I was very adamant about not injuring myself and Chris made sure of it.After trying crossfit for a month, I got into the kickboxing classes. I became pregnant and at 5 months stopped mountain biking and picked up crossfit 4 times a week and kickboxing twice a week. I continued this routine until I gave birth. At that time I worked with Susan and Eric, who were also great coaches and made sure the weight I was lifting was significantly lower but still a great workout for being pregnant.Everyone Ive met at Crossfit has been extremely pleasant and encouraging. There are people of varying ages and fitness levels. I came in with good endurance but little strength, and feel I have come a long way in gaining the strength. Ive taken a few months off after the birth, but look forward to coming back to regain my strength. If youre looking to make new friends and get a great workout, I would suggest checking out Crossfit Catonsville.

Crossfit Catonsville is the absolute best. There is so much variety in the workouts that there is never a chance of getting bored or stagnant. Chris is a wonderful instructor. He is patient, skilled, experienced, and observant - there with you every step of the way guiding you. I was always intimidated by the thought of Crossfit, but, here I am, doing the darn thing and LOVING IT! I highly recommend trying out a class or two or three or four, .... I also love his KickFit Kickboxing classes just as much as his Crossfit classes. They are just as fun and challenging.

Love this place! Environment is light, fun and easy going. I’ve been a member for almost a year. I’ve only attended classes coached by Chris, Alex and Amanda so far….but all have been consistent in offering great advise and helping me feel comfortable even with movements that I wasn’t familiar with.
