Dakota Strohl 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I was traveling to the Annapolis area for a wedding and wanted to drop into a local box. I emailed the gym and the owner, Eric, responded to me quickly to give me the run down on how to sign up for class. It was a seamless process and their website is super informative! Once I got to the gym, I was able to meet Eric who showed me around the facility to help me feel like a new member of the gym. The coach of the class, TJ, was excellent. He had a well-thought and thorough warm-up while helping everyone through each step along the way. When it came to workout, he was motivating and assisting with coaching athletes through any movements as needed. Lastly, the members I met in class were very inviting. All were really friendly and helped point me in the direction of any equipment. I even got a few recommendations for some local eats! Overall, this gym is phenomenal. I can tell how much Eric and his staff care about this place and it shows in the community they have behind it. Will definitely stop back in the future if I’m ever in the area again!

Fairwinds CrossFit

Thanks Dakota! We really appreciate you dropping into us when you had several options to choose from. You definitely fit in with the crew down here so it’s a no brainer that you should definitely come back. A lot of great things to do for a long weekend with the wifey.

Ellie Skeele 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I started CrossFit at 67 and have been coming off and on for 4 years, as travel and covid permit. I LOVE it and I LOVE Fairwinds. I've joined probably a dozen gyms in my life and never stuck with it. CrossFit changed that. Eric is a wonderful human being and a great coach and he surrounds himself with coaches that are equally fun, friendly, professional, and skilled. What sets this place apart is the coaches perfect scaling to a very wide range of fitness levels. We all get to do the same WOD, but with different specifics. I run 200m while others are doing 800+. I lift 50 pounds while some are at 150 and more. I pull up from rings while others are improving their pullups, and I trust I'll get there! I am inspired by the accomplished athletes and learn from everyone. There's no pressure, no competition (except with myself) and I really appreciate the 9:30 session's kind of laid back yet very fitness focused atmosphere. Thanks, TJ and Mary! And thanks, Eric, for running the very best box. I HIGHLY recommend Fairwinds to experienced skilled athletes and to anyone even marginally interested in getting a bit more fit. You will be welcomed at Fairwinds. I know this review sounds too gushy, but it's all true!

Fairwinds CrossFit

I’m not crying you’re crying!Thank you Ellie! I love your attitude and you’re the proof in the pudding that even it though CrossFit may look different from one person to the next, everyone can still do it. When a lot people are saying why they “shouldn’t do something” as they get older, you ask “what can I do next?!”. You’re a testament to what Fairwinds is all about. Thanks for hanging with us.

Claire Buchner 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: This gym rocks! The owner Eric Heup is a gem of a human being and makes coming to the gym at 6:15am a pleasure! The awesome staff is fun, kind, knowledgeable and really works to meet you where you are in your fitness journey. While this is a no nonsense gym, its members are of all ages and abilities and there is no judgement of any kind. And, of course, there is a little nonsense in the form of goofing and laughs along the way! It is a fun and welcoming community. I came to this gym with 3 spine fusions and in my early 50's. The coaches worked with me to modify the prescribed workouts so I could strengthen and increase my function gradually and without triggering my PTSD about hurting myself. After about 9 months of going 3-5x/week, I crave the workouts and have not felt this good in a long time! The gains lie in consistency - come often and don't compromise your form. You will be healthy and fit before you know it and you will make some great Fairwinds friends and enjoy the process:)

Fairwinds CrossFit

Despite your injuries and ailments you came with an open mind. You showed up, we collaborated on a plan and a morning without Claire is a rarity these days. Thanks for making us a part of your day because you’ve very much become a very important part of ours.

Taylor C 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I've been a member of Fairwinds CrossFit for over a year now, and I can't say enough good things about it! The welcoming environment makes it easy for newcomers and experienced athletes alike to feel right at home. The programming is thoughtful and well-structured, ensuring you get a balanced and effective workout every time. But what truly sets this place apart is the incredible group of people – supportive, friendly, and always encouraging each other to push their limits. If you're looking for a top-notch CrossFit experience along with a few laughs this is the place to be!

Fairwinds CrossFit

It’s a top notch gym because of top notch people like you my man. I think the other members would agree. Taylor is worth the price of admission!

Alexander Arena 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Tucked away in a beautiful marina, you have a gem of a facility where they will help ease you into their version of CrossFit culture. Prior to my first class I had ZERO CrossFit experience. As you can imagine I was very nervous. The owner/ coach, Eric, did a great job helping me feel welcome, comfortable, and cared for during my first session. All workouts are posted in advanced - so there’s no curveballs (love that) good instruction on the equipment needed and setup for each workout. I definitely looked lost , all the members were eager to help. After set up and an explanation of what to expect, we did a proper warm up. Eric chose excellent warm up exercises to prep our bodies for the more complex movements. Eric offered great cues to help me correct any poor form /biomechanics. The workout was “for time” meaning you do the work as fast as you can. I definitely needed to use ALL the time . Everyone was cheering me on to help get me through the workout - since everyone finished before me already. And I’m already going back for day 2. There’s also a cool dynamic where some people in the class were more intense about the workout- they were more in their own world getting focused for the tough work to come- then there was also a more talkative community oriented side. It’s a great mix. Just come be you and have fun improving your health.

Fairwinds CrossFit

Hey Alex! I’m so happy we could be a part of your first CrossFit experience. Your energy and enthusiasm was apparent, event at 5am! Thanks for trusting us and then coming back for more. Hope you keep dipping your toes in the CrossFit pool back home. Please come back anytime!

Fairwinds CrossFit

Aww. you guys. We think we have excellent athletes! And you’re one of them!

Dat Cao 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: The most excellent CrossFit experience. Eric and his coaches are fantastic. Each class is different and the coaching is top tier. They provide effective feedback and push when needed. I am down 15 lbs, running faster and feeling more athletic and confident since starting here October of 2023.

Fairwinds CrossFit

We are incredibly fortunate to have you as an athlete. You’re willingness to learn is apparent and watching you grow as an athlete in such a short time has been awesome. We also appreciate you sharing your PT expertise and helping taking care of out athletes in and out of the gym. Looking forward to many more fitness adventures!

Michael Symons 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I would give this place 10 stars, but Google says I can’t and to stop calling. I’ve been a member since May ‘22 and knew it’s been a great fit for me. The coaches—incredible. The people—fantastic. The equipment— everything you need. If you’re curious about CrossFit and want to give it a shot for just a month or so Eric can set you up—no pressure or commitment. You get plenty of one on one coaching throughout the class to make sure you’re developing in your fitness goals. All levels of fitness are welcome and challenged. Love this place.

Fairwinds CrossFit

I wish I had 10 accounts so I could give you 50 stars!

Dimitri Rucker 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Great gym, great coaches, great people, great fun! Best way to start my day with hard work, music, and good vibes. I enjoy that no matter what level you are in CrossFit it’s still an inclusive experience each class. They work with ya!

Fairwinds CrossFit

We definitely need to push to advance our abilities to clone humans because there just simply are not enough Dimitri’s.

Andrea P. Howe 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: It is not an exaggeration to say that Eric and team at Fairwinds have changed my life. I showed up skeptical (and maybe a little grumpy) at 53 yo, recovering from an injury, totally disconnected from any kind of regular workout routine, and semi-traumatized from one bad CrossFit experience in my past. Fast forward a year and-a-half and I am stronger than I’ve ever been with ZERO injuries, old or new. Plus—get this—I actually look forward to working out. Eric and team are amazing and have truly created an extraordinary community and fitness experience for which I will be forever grateful.

Fairwinds CrossFit

Never once did we think were grumpy. Skeptical? Maybe….But your patience in the process and willingness to collaborate have made for a wonderful time together. We are equally as excited, if not more, when Andrea’s name shows up in attendance!

Fantastic experience: What an awesome CrossFit gym!! I and my older son dropped in this weekend for a couple of classes and absolutely loved it! Eric is a fantastic coach and the gym vibe is perfect.

Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of dropping in for two classes at Fairwinds CrossFit while I was in town for a work meeting, and I can’t say enough about how absolutely awesome my experience was. Facility is beautiful - clean and well equipped - and the staff are fantastic. Everyone was incredibly welcoming and friendly, and the WODs were fun and challenging. Hope I get a chance to visit again soon, the folks here made me feel right at home!

Fairwinds CrossFit

Josh Thielbar 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: This place was a blast! We were visiting for a Naval graduation and wanted a place to workout. Eric and everyone we met there were super friendly and accommodating. Was a pretty chill gym and we went back everyday. Was the perfect start to each morning and if we ever come back to the coast, we’ll be happy to go to Fairwinds again. Thank you guys!

Darian Lanzetta 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: We dropped into a morning class as we were traveling through Annapolis from California to visit family and we couldn’t have had a better experience!! Eric was our coach and he was SO friendly and welcoming. He led a great warm up and modified for all skill levels so everyone at all levels of fitness could have an efficient and challenging workout. The facility itself is exceptional. Awesome location right on the water, high ceilings and clean equipment, but most of all you can tell people stay for the community. Great group of individuals interested in improving themselves. Five out of five stars for sure!!

Fairwinds CrossFit

Thank you so much for visiting. We don’t get drop ins often but when we do they seems to fit right in. Please come back anytime. Our casa su casa.

Fantastic experience: I dropped into this gym and was warmly welcomed by the staff and clients. Coach Sophia was very knowledgeable, making sure everyone was warmed up prior to the workout. Highly recommend

Juliana Vail 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I've never been to a gym with a more welcoming and supportive atmosphere to any athlete of any age or ability. Having done crossfit at a much larger and competitive gym I was so happy to find a Fairwinds where the coaches not only know your name and are happy to scale any workout to your ability or accommodate any injury or limitation. The coaches and fellow athletes legitimately care about your well-being and are just as excited as you when you hit a new PR. If you're hesitant or curious about Crossfit Fairwinds is a great place to start, and if you're visiting Annapolis, it's a great place to drop in!

Kevin Mish 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: All I can say about this gym... 21... 15... 9... all the time everyday. Great group of people and even better group of coaches!!! Very friendly from the coaches to the members!!!

Fantastic experience: My wife and I dropped in from Central Ohio. We frequently visit Annapolis and hate miss out on classes at our gym. Today, we were able to join the Saturday morning crew. It was a great experience! The owner, staff and members made us feel welcome and gave us a great workout! We will definitely be making more stops to Fairwinds CF!

Fantastic experience: Great people. Great workout. Lots of laughs. So much more than just a gym-- it's a community. ❤️

Peter Battikha 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: If you're like me and wasted a lot of time and money at standard gyms, I highly recommend looking into joining the Fairwinds Crossfit. The value you get from the coaches combined with the facility and average size of the classes is like having a personal trainer every time you go to workout. You immediately learn proper technique, are motivated by the coaching style and group comradery, and get more than a full day's workout in just a 1-hour session. It is just so efficient and results-driven, and more than "just a gym." It really is a community always supporting and cheering you on.

Monique Ricker 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: 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.

Julie Burman 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I love Fairwinds. Healthy, challenging, and community oriented. Have met such great people and get a great workout in just 60 minutes. These workouts meet you where you’re at. I was intimidated to start working out after several years off & having two kids but this place made it easy and fun! Everyone’s supportive & the coaches are awesome!

Trevor Fox 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: 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 $$

Fairwinds CrossFit

You don’t realize how much you push is to be better ourselves. Thanks Trevor. You’re freaking awesome.

William Felder 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: 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!

Bobby Ray Martin 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: 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.

Brad Mil 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: 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!

Bill Rabbitt 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: 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 doesn't 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!!!

Fantastic experience: 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!!

Fantastic experience: 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. I'm 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

Monika Disque 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Don't let CrossFit in the name deter you. This is more than a CrossFit gym. For me this is my family, it's my therapy, it's my struggle, and my accomplishment (yes, in that order). I go into this gym everyday knowing that the coaches won't 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 that's not why you're reading this. You're reading this to find out whether it's worth it. Yes. 100% this gym is worth every penny.

Fairwinds CrossFit

And you are worth 100% of our efforts. Proud to see the work you put in everyday.

Kimberly Ayers 5 years ago

Blake Stephenson 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: 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.

Fairwinds CrossFit

Awww, Blake! When you have athletes as coachable as you and as personable as you it makes it easy. Thanks for being such a great part of our community.

Meagan Heup 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: 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.

Fairwinds CrossFit

So wonderful of you to say. My heart is warm. You're the best.

Fantastic experience: 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.

Fantastic experience: 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 I've ever met at this box.

I am so thankful for Coach Jack and Coach Eric. --Ryenn

Kenna Oseroff 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: 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.

Rob Santin 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have to agree with all the great reviews of Fairwinds CrossFit...it's 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! It's a great kids class at a great price!

Fantastic experience: 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 can't say enough good things about the people who go there and work there. Like I said - Just Awesome!

Fantastic experience: Fairwinds CrossFit is, quite simply, the best gym in Annapolis. I can say this with 100% confidence because--as someone who truly values fitness--I've 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!
