CrossFit Federal Hill

Fantastic experience: I've been going to Cross Fit Federal Hill for about 2 months and I love it! The instructors know what they're talking about and will work with you to make sure your form is right. You're always encouraged to push yourself but never to exceed your limits. The atmosphere is very welcoming and it's easy to get to know other Cross Fitters and make friends. All in all, a great box to join!

Fantastic experience: I've been doing Crossfit for a few years now. I first joined a box in Miami and then later when I moved to Chicago. While all my crossfit experiences have been great, Crossfit Federal Hill has by far been the best! The members are friendly and there is a great sense of community at the gym. The coaches give you the individual attention that you need during classes and are constantly pushing you to do better. For those of you that are looking to get into shape, look no further! This is the place for you! Try it and you'll never go back to your old gym!

Fantastic experience: Crossfit Federal Hill was my first experience participating in crossfit. As a longtime athlete that participated in traditional lifting and running, i was hesitant to join, but did so to spend some extra time with friends. Immediately my experience became positive when I was introduced to the coaches and people in the gym. What I discovered was that I had formed some bad habits over the years and team at CFH was able to correct and improve those for me. Located in a prime location in Federal Hill, I would recommend this gym to anyone looking for a change of pace or a way to meet new people!

Fantastic experience: This is a great gym! I am pretty new to crossfit, and I always have felt very welcome. All of the coaches are wonderful, encouraging, and very knowledgeable. I have nothing but awesome things to say about this place. I also love all of the options that they have for class times, it makes it very easy to get your workout in before/after work. If you are new to CF or the area, come to CF Federal Hill!!!

Fantastic experience: I've been doing CrossFit off and on now for about 4 years. I started when I lived in Pittsburgh, and after moving to Baltimore I have tried other CrossFit gyms in the area and CrossFit Federal Hill is by far the best. For those who have never done CrossFit, it may seem intimidating and a bit expensive, but when you really think about it, you are almost getting a personal trainer. That's what a good CrossFit gym should feel like. Classes not too big, effective and uses the full hour, coaches are working with you and helping you, creating a safe and fun environment. CrossFit Federal Hill is that kind of gym and is by far my favorite of any that I have been to.

Fantastic experience: I have belonged to this box for about 2 years and it has been an incredible experience. I have been to many other boxes, both in the area and while traveling, and this one has been the best by far. The coaches are incredible, the equipment is always new and updated, and the people are friendly and welcoming. The programming is also always on point, and I have seen vast improvements in myself and in my workouts. I would highly recommend CFH to anyone interested in becoming faster and stronger!

Fantastic experience: This is a great gym with awesome coaches and members! I am not a gym person. I've never had a gym membership anywhere before CFH. I really only tried Crossfit Federal Hill because my husband was into it and wanted me to check it out. It was really hard for me to start, and I am not motivated by competition and scores. But I quickly found it to be something I could enjoy to at my level in my own way, and I am so thankful for it! It helps that the people are so wonderful and coaches work with you at whatever level you are. The culture and community at CFH is supportive and fun and welcoming.

Fantastic experience: Crossfit Federal Hill is the best workout experience I've ever had. Whether you are a beginner or a Crossfit Vet you will get so much out of the experience here. From the top of the line equipment, to the great workouts, to the amazing coaching, it is truly a great environment. The coaches are truly wonderful and are always looking at how each individual can improve. The movements are reviewed before every workout no matter what level you are at. They also digitally track all of your progress through Wodify, no need to write down your own PR's. I have been going to CFH for about 18 months and I unfortunately had to move so can no longer be a part of this amazing community. I will say that it was harder to leave the CFH box than to leave my last job. If you are looking for a great environment, a way to challenge yourself, or even just a way to relieve stress for the week CFH is the place to go!! I STRONGLY recommend it to anyone.

Fantastic experience: I love this gym. Attending Crossfit is the first time I've actually wanted to go to the gym and makes it much easier to get in shape. The coaches here are great. They're patient with you as you learn each movement and also very knowledgeable so they can help you advance. The gym has a great atmosphere and everyone is friendly and we have the occasional social functions which are great.

Fantastic experience: I was a member at CFH for about a year. Overall, an awesome facility and staff. I've moved around a bunch, so I've been a member of at least 7 CF gyms. This is one of the best ones I've been to. The coaches are knowledgeable and approachable. They're always there to answer any questions or give you advice. They have a great class schedule. Plus they have a ton of activities and events to participate in. An awesome community as a whole. The gym is large, organized, and clean. Plenty of room for classes and people working on their own programs. The OLY platforms in the backroom are an added bonus. Hopefully, they add some OLY bearing bars.

Fantastic experience: Cross Fit Federal Hill is a great place to train, learn, and find camaraderie... I developed a ton of new skills due to the amazing coaches who were very gracious with their time. Everyone was extremely helpful- the community at CF Fed Hill is wonderful. Learning more about diet and nutrition was a great benefit, and I saw many physical improvements in comparison to my solo work out routines. Really gonna miss the place and thank you!

Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough great things about Crossfit Federal Hill! The coaches are super supportive and have helped transform my level of fitness and strength. I look forward to workouts, and the programming is excellent. If you are even thinking about joining CFH-- do it! The fellow athletes are encouraging, supportive, and inspiring, and there is a healthy level of competition. The group atmosphere is top notch. Great equipment and facility. I used to live in Fed Hill and recently moved across the city to Brewer's Hill-- and still make the drive to CFH instead of switching boxes! It's worth it!

Fantastic experience: If you are going to do crossfit in Baltimore, this is the best box to do it. Great location, right in Federal Hill off Key Highway, also with parking! It has only been open for about 2 years so the space is in great shape and so is the equipment. The owners and coaches are absolutely fabulous people - they are the reason a lot of members come in everyday and refuse to switch boxes. People are friendly, great way to make new friends and become part of a community. I can't ever see myself not doing crossfit, especially not here!

Fantastic experience: CFFH has been and still is the best option near Federal Hill / Downtown Baltimore area. Geo and Kelsea are always welcoming and the space is perfect if you want to do your own thing or hop into a WOD.

Fantastic experience: I registered for the gym online and stopped by when I was away on a business trip. I rode a scooter from the downtown area to the gym, which only took about 5 minutes and was more cost-effective than an Uber. Unfortunately, the later class only had four people in it, myself included, which was a bit of a letdown since I enjoy the social aspect of CrossFit. Nevertheless, the instructor was great and I had a good workout.

Fantastic experience: The coaches at this gym are really friendly and the other members are very supportive. Kelsea, the general manager, is fantastic! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone regardless of their fitness level.

Fantastic experience: Couldn't recommend CFH more. I'm very thankful I stumbled in 4 years ago. I've made so many friends, brought in family, and have seen myself grow immensely as a direct result of CFH. The mental grind is just as much as the physical, and I love how you get the opportunity to test both strengths everyday. Can't wait to see what the next few years have in store!

Fantastic experience: IA Crossfit has played a huge role in Baltimore feeling like home. Beyond the numbers of weight lifted or push ups finished, I have never felt stronger or more capable in my own skin. Overall, I cannot express how much the community of IA CFH has impacted me. I love the “IM SO PROUD OF YOU” from Kelsea after class, the form checks and encouragement from Geo, the extra hints and tips from Chris, the sweet check-ins with Laura, and all of our awesome coaches!! IA has helped me fall in love with exercising and provides me with a stellar atmosphere to push myself to improve. ❤️ Grateful for you all at CFH

Fantastic experience: Compassionate people. Great community. Excellent coaches. Enormous gym. All the new equipment you could ever want. Serious and methodical thought and intent put into programming that is revised and reevaluated consistently to ensure it will not evolve to something obsolete. The last one is important because it equals results. And when you mix results with happy folks, then you look forward to working out everyday. And if you look forward to working out everyday then you're happy and the cycle continues to grow and repeat. Special shout out to Kelsea, Geo, Laura & Candace. You do you, and don't change. --Alex

Fantastic experience: I have always desired to be powerful and sure of myself and this gym has given me the ability to acquire that strength and assurance. The friendships I have formed at the gym keep me returning. The instructors make the exercises enjoyable and do a great job of keeping the gym's community spirit alive. They motivate and push you when they know you are able to do more, they assist you in scaling when you need it and they make you feel welcome in the gym regardless of your proficiency. Honestly, the bond and faith I have developed with Kelsea and Geo through their instruction and sincere concern for my wellbeing is what convinced me to join this gym and kept me coming back even when the exercises seemed impossible.

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience at Federal Hill; the staff were professional, the quality of the facility was excellent, and the people were very welcoming. I took a few classes while I was visiting and the coaches were knowledgeable and attentive. The gym was well-maintained, tidy, and had great equipment.

Fantastic experience: I am highly motivated to lead a healthier lifestyle thanks to the wonderful staff who are so friendly and helpful. I am grateful for their ambition and support.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, coaches and workouts! One of the best spaces of any gym I've been to -- spacious, clean, and solid equipment. The workouts are always challenging and fun, and the fellow members make for a great atmosphere. Definitely recommend to any person in the Baltimore area!

Fantastic experience: Moved to Baltimore last April, and honestly joining CrossFit Federal Hill has been the best part of my experience so far. Having never done CrossFit before, the coaching staff are really good at coaching to all skill levels, and covering fundamentals and scaling options for athletes. Additionally, they are all very approachable, and bring great energy that makes it a great community and environment to be a part of. I also think they do a great job at the extra programming outside of the normal classes, whether that's Barbell Club, Drive, or some of the competition/community events they do, there's a lot you can do to stay engaged with the gym and people there. Speaking of the people, there are many different skill levels of athletes, but all are really nice and make you feel welcome from the beginning. Whether you are an experienced CrossFit athlete or just looking for something new, I highly recommend checking this place out!

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Federal Hill is fantastic gym. I've been a member for four years. It has everything you need. Great ownership, fun community events, coaches able to help all athletes from scaled to elite levels, programming (scaled, Rx, competitors), plenty of equipment, space to workout, indoor bicycle parking, open gym on Sunday mornings, showers, and speciality classes (olympic lifting, endurance, etc).

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Federal Hill is an outstanding gym. I trained here during my final semester of college and enjoyed it tremendously. The facilities are spacious, so over-crowding in classes is never an issue. The gym community is top-notch. The athletes range from beginners to competition-level, and top to bottom they encourage and push each other to perform their best in each workout. Coaches are incredibly knowledgeable and help with technique on movements as well as strategies for performing best on specific WODs.

Fantastic experience: Having been at this gym for almost 4 years and seen a ton of AWESOME change and growth. The coaches are always well trained and the classes are run consistently/efficiently to maximize training time. Would recommend it to anyone considering CF for the 1st time or looking to make a switch. Drop-ins always welcomed and encouraged. Geo - also owns CF Harbor East and has completed a complete turnaround of that location as well if your across the harbor.

Fantastic experience: When I first walked through the door of CrossFit Federal Hill, I was unable to string my double-unders together or perform kipping pull-ups. Luckily, I was able to benefit from the dedicated training of the gym's expert coaches who guided me to successfully master these skills. In short, the gym's programming has provided me with the tools to achieve physical feats I dared unimaginable. On another level, CrossFit Federal Hill has been more than a gym but a community of like-minded individuals who support and cheer one another on. My time in Baltimore would not have been what it was without the coaches and members of CrossFit Federal Hill. If you're looking for more than a gym–but a personal transformation–look no further than CrossFit Federal Hill.

Fantastic experience: I loved CF Federal Hill. I started here when I moved to Federal Hills and wanted to change to a crossfit place that was within walking distance from where I lived. I enjoyed knowing and working with every single staff member. They are all very nice and will work with you to make sure you're comfortable with each exercise. I'd like to specifically thank David, Brittany & Geo. If you're moving to Baltimore, CF Federal Hill should be your go to Gym.

Fantastic experience: I was a member here for 3 years and loved it. The coaches are great, the community is wonderful, and the gym is always in top condition. There is such a wide range of members (age, life stages, fitness stages, goals, etc) that I haven't seen at other cross fit gyms. If you're considering joining, I would urge you to check these guys out and drop in on a class.

Fantastic experience: Such a great gym/CrossFit experience! This is definitely the best CrossFit I have EVER attended. Most important, the results are real. I noticed substantial changes in my fitness and how I felt almost immediately. The classes are approachable for all levels. The coaches are so friendly. They go out of their way to demonstrate how to scale movements when needed. I’ve always felt challenged, but never pressured to do anything that made me feel uncomfortable. Coach Davidson Jones is my personal favorite- he’s great at teaching complex movements, motivational, and so funny. He makes class feel like recess for adults. The atmosphere at CrossFit Federal Hill is welcoming and inclusive. It has something for everybody. Whether you’re completely new to exercise or a competitive athlete, this is the fitness experience for you!

Fantastic experience: I like this particular gym for its thoughtful programming, attentive coaching, positive energy and culture of camaraderie. The classes challenge me more than I'd be able to challenge myself on my own. I like being able to show up punctually and have a coach tell me what to do. Everything is scalable, and I feel encouraged to prioritize proper form and listen to my body. My goal for this year was to attend 5 classes per week, up from 2-3. This consistent level of attendance has dramatically increased my strength, mobility and overall energy. I feel great. I'd say that the gym's membership currently skews younger, meaning 20s and early 30s, although there are a few 40- and 50-year-olds. Also, there's a wide range in athlete ability level, from accomplished gymnasts to more sedentary types who decided to embrace the discipline of exercise only recently. The programming is accessible and the community welcoming to all. There's really nothing bad that I can say about it.

Fantastic experience: I was very skeptical to join CrossFit with the reputation that precedes it and probably, more likely, being afraid to fail. It constantly breaks me out of my comfort zone, which would usually make me run the other way, but I keep going back! I couldn’t have been more wrong about the people, community or coaches. I’m so thankful for the guidance and professionalism that the coaches put forth. CFH is an awesome community, I’m glad I took the chance.

Fantastic experience: I joined this gym a couple years ago when I moved to Baltimore. I have been a member at a handful of gyms and this is by far one of the best. The coaching staff, programming, and space is the best around! There is such a strong sense of community! I can’t imagine working out anywhere else in Baltimore.

Fantastic experience: You won't regret taking a stepping out of your comfort zone to experience this gym and its people! The owner and coaches make this gym a home away from home. The coaches are passionate, knowledgeable, and friendly. The owner is constantly putting time, energy, and thought into how to take CFH to the next level to encourage a healthy and happy lifestyle. The friendliness of the members exceed expectations. One of the most impressive and well outfitted gyms I've ever been a member at.

Fantastic experience: An amazing CrossFit box in Baltimore. All of the coaches here are very knowledgeable and have trained for years prior to coaching. Form and safety is a priority here and CFH will allow those at any fitness level to continuously improve. Parking is available in a lot that is a 3 minute walk away and the facility has two showers.

Fantastic experience: I started as a member at CrossFit Federal Hill in 2014 and immediately felt the strong sense of community present and the passion that Geo and all the coaches have for helping people of all skill levels achieve their goals. I took a year off to travel and when I got back one of the first things I did was to stop back in and start my membership up again. I can’t say enough about the coaches, the programming, the facilities or the other members. As long as I am in Baltimore I will always be a member at CFH. If you are on the fence about giving it a shot just go and you won’t regret your decision!

Fantastic experience: Great gym, great classes, and even better staff! Dropped in to quite a few boxes over the past couple years and Crossfit Federal Hill is at the very top of that list. Staff and members are extremely welcoming and make an otherwise intimidating experience very approachable for those new to crossfit

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of CFH for three years. I am over the traditional age of a CF athlete and was not athletic at all growing up. A friend convinced me to join and at first it was intimidating but the coaching is terrific and the facility is well maintained and spacious. The coaches know my abilities and are able to help me scale where I need to. They are very encouraging and spend time at EVERY workout showing the proper way to do the movements and provide feedback when needed. The owner is caring and accessible and I have thoroughly enjoyed being a member of CFH!

Fantastic experience: Hands down, one of the best fitness communities I've been a part of. The focus of the gym and coaches has been so helpful.. I've always felt supported regardless of the amount of "weight" or where I am in my own goals. If you're looking to join more than a "gym" and be part of a community, CFH is where you need to be!

Fantastic experience: As a former athlete I had some reservations about attempting to augment my workouts with crossfit, but what I found at Fed Hill CrossFit was an incredibly supportive but competitive environment. No matter your goals, Geo and his staff are there for you at all times to help you reach all of your goals. I would recommend anyone give their team a shot to show you how to take your fitness and level of community to a new place.

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Federal Hill has been nothing but stellar since the moment I walked in the doors. I came over from a smaller CF gym as I wanted a better experience and the moment I walked through the doors of CFH I knew I was going to get my money's worth. CFH gives you ever opportunity to better yourself not only through fitness with class WODs but also available personal training and Demand Training. CFH has a specific coach for nutrition that host meetings as well as even nutrition challenges to keep you on your toes. Regardless if you're a season veteran, college athlete or even mid 30's and think you're still an athlete, CFH has the tools for you. Being apart of the CFH community has opened so many new doors for me socially and personally. The community is the #1 reason I wake up and pack a gym bag everyday, I wouldn't change anything about it.

Fantastic experience: My husband and I have been members for a little over a year and have really loved our experience here! We are both extremely competitive with each other, so this has been a positive way for us to compete and work to get better at something we both love doing. All of the coaches at CFH are very knowledgeable and really care about the athletes they are working with, far beyond just handing out pointers during a workout. The gym is extremely clean and well kept, which I believe comes from having a dedicated staff who truly loves what they do. Thank you Crossfit Federal Hill!

Fantastic experience: I love Crossfit Federal Hill! The facility, the programming and the equipment are all top-notch, but I think what truly sets CFH apart from other gyms are the coaches and the community of this gym. The coaches are extremely passionate about helping every single person in the gym become the best athlete that they can be. And the community is equally as great! The owner, Geo, went above and beyond when I first joined to get me involved in competitions and to help me become part of the community. In addition to the class programming, CFH offers Demand Training. This has been a game changer for me. Before joining CFH, I had always wanted to become more competitive, but never knew where to start with programming. I love that CFH offers this competitive programming as a part of the regular gym membership. I really can’t say enough good things about this gym. If you are looking for a gym in the Baltimore area, look no further… CFH is the best choice!!!

Fantastic experience: I went to Crossfit Federal Hill for almost 2 years and couldn't recommend this place more highly. The coaches are awesome and really spend the time to focus on improving your technique unlike some other places. Also the members are all cool and make for a great community. Not only that the spaces are huge so there is plenty of room for people. If you are thinking of trying out a crossfit gym or just looking to drop in, this is the one.

Fantastic experience: Joining Crossfit Federal Hill is one of the best decisions you could make. The coaches are extremely knowledgable and supportive. The equipment is in great condition and well looked after. The owner, Geo, goes the extra mile to create a community where you always feel welcomed. You will never feel like "a number" at CFFH. The members are friendly and fun to work out with. CFFH offers intense workout sessions that can be scaled to meet each athlete's personal abilities. Additionally, there are strength training groups, endurance training drive classes, and occasional yoga. Again, the workouts and services are catered to the members - Geo is more than open to feedback and will truly listen and implement change so that CFFH works for every member.

Fantastic experience: I moved to Baltimore about a year ago and tried out a lot gyms in the area before I made this my gym. This gym is, by far, my favorite in Baltimore! What makes this gym great is the coaching staff and the members: all very knowledgable and helpful! Classes are fun and the community feeling is real here, everyone is friendly and encouraging during the workouts. The classes are always on time, which is great for folks on a schedule. This gym is a perfect fit for me and I love it!

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Federal Hill has been one of the best CrossFit communities I have been apart of since I started CrossFit in 2012. The coaches at CFH are attentive and encouraging, the quality of the equipment is great, and the overall atmosphere it's members create makes this a top-notch facility.

Fantastic experience: I'm having a lot of trouble starting this review because I just do not know where to begin. My experience here at CrossFit Federal Hill has been phenomenal. From the knowledgeable coaches, to the encouraging environment, there really is no better place to get in shape and to challenge yourself. It is always extremely intimidating starting something new but as soon as you walk in, you are immediately greeted by a ton of smiling/sweaty people just ready to motivate you into excellent shape. 5 stars for its facility & equipment. 5 stars for the community & coaches & 5 Stars for its overall Charm ;). Definitely check it out!

Fantastic experience: I worked out here for over 2 1/2 years and absolutely loved it. They have fantastic coaches and a very supportive community. The facility is huge and you never have to worry about running out of equipment. There are garage doors in the middle which make it possible to run two classes simultaneously without them interfering with each other. CFH is one of the things I miss most about leaving Baltimore and I highly recommend it to anyone in the area!

Fantastic experience: The owner/head coach, Geo, tries his hardest to make everyone happy and help them reach their fitness goals. The programming is great with most classes having either a strength or skill portion and then a metcon. Geo is constantly putting membership dues back into the gym and buying us great equipment - new barbells and weights, a pegboard and assault bikes were all purchased in the past year. The coaches are fantastic and have pushed me to do more than I thought I could. The only reason I left was because I had to move for work. I highly recommend Crossfit Federal Hill to anyone who is thinking about starting crossfit as well as advanced competitive crossfitters.

Fantastic experience: My 3rd CF gym in Baltimore. And this is the BEST ONE EVER. Should have started here. Awesome, and extremely knowledgeable coaches. The people and coaches are super supportive, friendly, respectful and encouraging. They are "real," no kool-aid. Should I leave this area, I'll really really really miss this place. Not sure how to even replace this kind of place nor its vibe. Getting sad thinking about it. This place has become my daily cadence. Before CF, I was a daily gym brat that got bored of the typical gym classes -body pump, barre/ pilates/ yoga, and other like things. Thanks CFH!!
