I joined Fairwinds because I wanted to find a gym, but what I ended up finding was a community. The coaches and athletes create a warm and welcoming environment, and I enjoy seeing all my fellow members every day.

If you're looking for a new workout program that will challenge you and allow you to meet some of the best people in Annapolis, then you should definitely check out Fairwinds CrossFit.

The environment at Fairwinds CrossFit is welcoming and fun, and there's something there for everyone.

This gym is much better than any other in Annapolis. The staff is friendly and the members are great. Fairwinds CrossFit makes working out fun again. You'll be engaged and want to come back for more.

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. We'll definitely make this our home away from home when we're in the Annapolis area. Thanks, Eric, for an incredible couple of WODs!

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!

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!

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!!

Juliana Vail 1 year 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!

Fantastic experience: My wife and I journeyed to Annapolis from Central Ohio. We often come here and regret not being able to attend our gym classes. Fortunately, we were able to join the Saturday morning group today and it was an awesome experience! The proprietor, personnel and members were very hospitable and gave us a wonderful workout. We are sure to make more trips to Fairwinds CF in the future!

Fantastic experience: It's not just a gym-- it's a place where amazing people come together to exercise, have fun, and build a supportive community. ????

Peter Battikha 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: If you have spent too much time and money at regular gyms, I suggest you consider joining Fairwinds Crossfit. The coaches, the facility, and the size of the classes are like having a personal trainer every time you go. You get the right technique, motivation from the coaching style and the group, and a full day's workout in one hour. It is very effective and result-oriented, and not just a gym. It is a community that encourages and cheers you on.

Monique Ricker 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Are you up for a challenge and looking to try a different workout? Look no further than Fairwinds CrossFit! Each session will leave you feeling stronger (and a bit more sore!) and you'll be eager to come back for more. Jack, Eric, Amy and Mary have created a great atmosphere that is welcoming and enjoyable for everyone.

Julie Burman 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I'm a huge fan of Fairwinds! It's a great place to stay healthy, work hard, and meet wonderful people. In only one hour, I can get an amazing workout that's tailored to my level. I was scared to start exercising again after having my kids, but Fairwinds made it so easy and enjoyable. Everyone is so encouraging and the instructors are the best!

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 $$

William Felder 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality 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 3 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 3 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 4 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.

Fantastic experience: more than a gym (although it's certainly a great one with excellent coaches), fairwinds is an incredibly welcoming community. i'd been searching for a while to find 'my people' - search is over. done. come and see for yourself. :)

Blake Stephenson 4 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.

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.

Bryant Yee 4 years ago

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. 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.

Ryenn Micaletti 4 years ago

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 have always had a difficult time with endurance, but it wasn't 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

Fantastic experience: 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.

Shelley O'Neill 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: 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! Can't recommend highly enough!

Jenna Jones 4 years ago

Kenna Oseroff 4 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 4 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: 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

Andrew Hunt 5 years ago

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!
