Capacity Fitness & Nutrition

Fantastic experience: Ive been working out with Hugh (The owner and coach) now for three months and I absolutely love it. Had to start my fitness journey anew again after some rough personal years and Hugh and his team were and are the best choice for the job. They really make you feel like family. I can not recommend them enough. If you are afraid to get back into fitness go to this team!

Fantastic experience: Great gym with a close community. Hugh and Gabi are very knowledgeable coaches that give you the personal attention to make you your best. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Great gym and atmosphere. Class sizes are ideal. Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic experience: Capacity Fitness hands down has become the best part of my daily routine. I would recommend the gym to anyone, regardless of where you’re currently at in your fitness journey. Coach Hugh and Coach Gabi are some of the best coaches I’ve had. They are motivating, extremely knowledgeable, supportive of your goals and caring. I joined not knowing what to expect because I have never focused on strength training. I’ve played soccer my whole life but always felt lost in the gym picking up weights, so I wouldn’t do it, I’d go right for the treadmills. Coming off an injury I wanted to get back in shape and learn what to do in the gym. After just one month, Coach Hugh and Coach Gabi have already helped me tremendously. Class sizes are small and they do an awesome job demonstrating what to do, always paying attention to ensure correct form. I love the intensity of the workouts. The community aspect wasn’t something I thought about when joining but has been icing on the cake! Everyone that I have met during classes has been so encouraging and wants to see each other succeed.

Fantastic experience: Hugh and Gabi have something special going on down there on the waterfront in Baltimore. Hugh gives more personalized attention than any other fitness Coach in the biz. Great space, great strategy, great support system to accomplish my fitness goals. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Capacity is hands down the best gym I’ve ever been to. The gym can often be intimidating if you’re a beginner. From I’ve never worked out a day in my life to advanced Gabi & Hugh have curated a work out for everyone. When you are at capacity, the sense of community is unmatched. I’m a capacity lifer!

Fantastic experience: Hugh and Gabi at Capacity are the best. The workouts provide a great balance of strength and conditioning. The community feeling at the gym makes me motivated to keep coming back. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Love this facility. I was in town for a short time, this gym was right round the corner from the hotel I was staying at. Such a cool location. Who doesn’t want to workout by the water? This gym has everything you need to get a good workout. I needed a gym that had a good barbell and weights set up. Hugh and Gabi were super welcoming and accommodating. I will definitely be back on my next trip to Bmore.

Fantastic experience: High Quality, Diverse Group Classes, All Equipment Being Used Is In Good Condition; Everyone Is Nice To Each Other And Motivates Each Other From the Coaches To Those In The Class With You. Coaches Really Do Focus On Nutrition And Checks On You Every Week To See How Things Are Going And To See If You Need Help With Anything. Overall A Great Place To Be.

Fantastic experience: I have enjoyed every bead of sweat at Capacity Fitness…it doesn’t matter what age you start your personal journey, just remember that strength is a very important key element for a healthy life style.

Fantastic experience: Capacity does a great job of creating challenging, yet obtainable, workouts that have helped me get in shape. The community atmosphere does a great job of holding me accountable, while still being understanding of lifestyles and schedules. The coaches all do a great job of helping each person learn proper techniques and form to maximize their workout.

Fantastic experience: Great workout with awesome coaches! Lots of support from the coaches and the community!

Fantastic experience: Capacity Fitness & Nutrition is the best in Federal Hill, Baltimore, MD. After years of struggling to get my nutrition under control, these guys helped me lose weight from day 1. After my initial meeting with them, I could tell the trainers here are very educated and experienced and that’s exactly what you want to look for when hiring a trainer or nutritionist. 10/10 would definitely recommend. If you want to get your body in shape for summer, don’t wait another day!

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Capacity Fit for about 3 or 4 months now and I absolutely love it! They truly cater to your needs and get to know each individual member. I have tried a few different personal trainers throughout the years and Coach Gabi makes it truly personal. I feel better than I have in years and I love my fitness community! If you are looking for a goal-oriented and motivational group to work out with, you have found your people!

Fantastic experience: I can't recommend Capacity Fitness enough! I started going to Capacity six months ago on a recommendation from a friend who attends the gym. I had just finished up a year of physical therapy for some long-term back/neck/shoulder issues and was cleared to start more intensive exercise. This was my first time in a high-intensity program and didn't know what to expect. I was anxious about re-injury but wanted to give it a shot and I'm so thankful I did. Since joining I've been attending the group strength & conditioning classes several times a week. The location, small class size, and multiple daily class times are a plus, but the community is what brings me back. It's been great to roll in, see familiar faces, and encourage each other every week. Coaches Hugh, Gabi, Kelsey, Layla, and Neal…they've all been incredibly welcoming, encouraging, and always provide useful feedback during the workouts. They've curated an awesome program that meets you wherever you're at and scales to meet your goals. The classes keep you challenged and change up frequently so it's always fresh. Big thanks to Capacity and the staff. I'm feeling so much healthier and stronger than when I started. Don't hesitate to check them out!

Fantastic experience: Such a good gym! Gabi and Hugh are so nice and welcoming. I immediately felt at home when I started coming here. The workouts are really good and the gym will work with you to reach your goals in a fun non judgmental way. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend Capacity Fitness enough. Everyone takes a vested interest in your goals and do everything they can to help you achieve them. I’ve tried other gyms before but this is the only place where I’ve felt like you can get both the one-on-one personal attention while also feeling like you’re truly part of a community there. I would recommend Capacity Fitness to everyone.

Fantastic experience: Great place to workout. You will be out on a good program that fits your needs. Professional staff that really know their stuff!

Fantastic experience: Capacity is by far the most positive and motivating gym environment I've ever been a part of. They support you with whatever you need, and provide fantastic feedback for you to reach your goals. The classes are fun and challenging and make me actually wake up early!

Fantastic experience: I came to Capacity after hip surgery and a back injury, fearful about being back in a gym. I had nothing to be afraid of- the staff and other members have been extremely welcoming! The coaches have helped me scale workouts as needed but also encouraged me to push past my fears.

Fantastic experience: I have been striving to get into better physical condition and, more importantly, to adopt a healthier lifestyle for a few years now. Nothing has been successful until I started getting programming from Capacity. It's great to have a personalized program and the option to give feedback and have it modified to meet my requirements. Hugh and Gabby are wonderful people and have a wonderful business. I plan to keep getting programming from them for a long time!

Fantastic experience: I have been working with Hugh at Capacity Fitness for a month now, and I am already seeing results and feeling better. I have been doing cardio for a while, but I was scared to work with weights. Hugh has been a great help in giving me the guidance I need and I am feeling more self-assured. I am excited for what the future holds as I continue to enhance my fitness and tone my body with Capacity Fitness. I would highly recommend them!

Fantastic experience: I've had a fantastic time at Capacity fitness. The small group classes are really beneficial as the instructors can give more attention to each person than in some other gym classes I've tried. The classes are always changing, so there's never a dull moment. The other members are very friendly and you can go at your own speed. There's also free and straightforward parking. Definitely worth a look!

Fantastic experience: I have been a part of Capacity Fitness for over a year now, and it has become an integral part of my life. The atmosphere created by coaches Hugh and Gabi is one that I am grateful to be a part of. I am able to be challenged, yet I also feel a great sense of comfort and support. I couldn't imagine my daily routine without Capacity Fitness; it is simply the best!

Fantastic experience: Going to Capacity Fitness has been an amazing addition to my daily routine. The coaches, Hugh and Gabi, are incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and motivating. The classes are small and the instructors demonstrate the exercises with attention to detail. I never thought I'd enjoy strength training, but the intensity of the workouts and the supportive community at Capacity Fitness have made it an incredibly rewarding experience. I would highly recommend it to anyone, no matter where they are in their fitness journey.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Amazing gym and even better people. Hugh and Gabby are knowledgeable and extremely welcoming. The small class size allows for personal attention to ensure your form is correct. Everyone I have met is encouraging and wants others to achieve their goals. Highly recommend Capacity!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism , Quality Fantastic service run by people who truly, and sincerely care about their client meeting and exceeding their goals. I would, without any hesitation, recommend them to anyone looking to jump-start or advance their fitness journey.

Fantastic experience: I pop into Capacity for a class every few weekends and from the very first time I did so, I've felt so welcomed. It doesn't matter if you're a regular or just jump into a class every now and then, the coaches and members are some of the nicest, most encouraging people I've ever worked out with. The programming is awesome and guaranteed to give you an incredible workout every time. The small class size means you don't get lost in the crowd, you will have someone correct your form if needed and I've always felt Covid-safe. Great location, great coaches, great workout. What more could you ask for?

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality This place has been great. Small group classes. Caring coaches. Good community. Everyone is there to work out and be healthy. No competitions, just chill people. A totally welcoming environment to all. Can't say enough good things about Coach Hugh and Coach Gabby and what they are building. Would give 6 stars if I could.

Fantastic experience: What can I say that hasn't been said already? Quite a bit actually. I came to capacity fitness with wellness needs requiring more than just a "pick it up and put it down" mentality. Struggling with addiction and the suboptimal health outcomes that go along with it, I found more than just a place to sweat at Capacity. Hugh, Gabby, and the rest of the Capacity Fitness community helped me dig deeper to find the intersection of goal-crushing fitness and right-sized mindfulness. I'm now well on my way to many firsts, and the journey began at Capacity. No matter what your background or needs may be, as Coach Hugh likes to say, "We got something for that!"

Fantastic experience: Perfect COVID-safe/ COVID-friendly gym for someone who is interested in aerobic exercise/HIIT workouts in a small class setting. Coach Hugh and Coach Gabby are incredibly detail oriented and offer the perfect combination of patience, direction, and motivation. As a member of this gym, you will learn (a lot!) about different movements, why you do them, and how to do them safely. The gym itself is in impeccable condition and the sense of community its members bring is a huge added benefit.

Fantastic experience: I first came to Capacity Fitness & Nutrition in April 2020. It was the beginning of COVID-19 Quarantine and my current CrossFit gym had temporarily closed. I sank into a deep depression... I was 15 lbs. heavier than I am now, drinking almost every day and recklessly binging on food in the middle of the night. I felt completely helpless. When I reached out to Hugh, I was at my most vulnerable and looking for some sort of help. The solution that was given to me was not what I expected. I was not given a fancy and restrictive crash diet... I was not given a rigorous workout routine... -- Instead, Hugh collaborated with me to develop simple, attainable goals that would in turn yield long-term sustainable results. Our weekly check-ins provided routine motivation and planning that set me up for success each week. One of my biggest fears at the beginning of this whole process was disappointing Hugh and Gabby... I was scared to death of failure -- in the gym and in the kitchen. But one thing they worked with me on was really living life on life's terms. I was never vilified if I ate something I shouldn't have, if I missed a meal prep, if I ate out, etc... They both remained solution-oriented and helped me navigate through the week. They reminded me that in order for this to work, I needed to approach life on life's terms (something I have taken with me as an overall life lesson outside of the gym)... to accept that mistakes, slip-ups, failures --whatever you want to call them -- are all inevitable parts of life. Moreover, at the gym there are no pressures to PR a specific weight... there is no judgement in scaling a workout or amending it to fix your specific body type or abilities (there are some days I use 20 lb dumbbells and there are some days I use 45s... some days I do box jumps, other days I do step-ups). This was also a huge relief... each day I come into the gym I listen to my body and go with the flow... there are no pressures to compete with other folks or even to push myself in unnecessary ways. Looking back a year later, I can say that I have lost 4% body fat and 15 lbs of fat, my habits and coping mechanisms are healthier, and I have a solid positive support system around me to see me through this journey. I am forever grateful for everything Hugh and Gabby have given me -- these are things that I will carry with me for the rest of my life. If you are looking for a small, warm, respectful, carefree and hardworking environment, Capacity Fitness & Nutrition is the place for you.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Excellent workout! Coach Hugh and Gabi do a great job of keeping everyone engaged and tailoring workouts and nutrition plans to my needs. Loved the location and the view of the harbor. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Capacity Fitness for about 6 months now and love it! Hugh and Gabby are great coaches and will push you but also understand everyone is on a different fitness level. I love the community feel of Capacity and just extended my membership. This is exactly what I was looking for since moving to Baltimore. The gym feels like a home away from home and every workout is unique as it is challenging. I definitely recommend Capacity Fitness!

Fantastic experience: This gym is amazing! Not only are the trainers amazing but so is the view! Coach Hugh and Coach Gabby have really helped me to change not just my fitness routine, but my eating habits as well. Both nutrition and fitness guidance in one spot. While I am using the equipment it is nice to gaze out to the water which helps to get in a perfect mindset! I would highly reccommend to anyone who is new to fitness or would like a challenge!

Fantastic experience: I started going to Capacity last fall and was initially drawn to it for the types of workouts, small class sizes and the outdoor space that it offered. After going four to five times a week for all of these months, I can confirm that Capacity is a fantastic gym for so many reasons. The workouts are great – very challenging yet scalable for those with limitations (without feeling like you’ve compromised any of the intensity of the workout). I really like the variety of the workouts – the mix of cardio and strength. They are always well-thought out and, most importantly, well-coached with no lack of individualized attention. Aside from the workouts, I have really enjoyed getting to know and working with the other members of the gym and with Coaches Hugh and Gabby. There is a real sense of camaraderie and Coaches Hugh and Gabby are two of the best coaches (and humans) that you can meet. They are always encouraging, there to give you a push when you need it, and are truly invested in making sure everyone attains their goals. They have built a fantastic community at Capacity and I’m thrilled to be a part of it.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Capacity has become a second home with the pandemic. Being able to get out of the house for even an hour for a nice workout is always worth it with Huge and Gabby. They are amazing trainers and put their clients needs first!

I basically live at this gym now :)

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Hugh and Capacity Fitness & Nutrition were just what I needed to get rid of these extra Covid pounds I’ve put on in the last year plus. Tough workout, but I can also go at my own pace and not feel self-conscious. Meal recommendations have been a bonus.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Quality I’ve taken a few classes at Capacity Fitness. Coach Hugh and Gabby always made sure to break everything down for me. And I enjoy learning the benefits of why the workouts are broken down for the day. I just enjoy the atmosphere. Plus the ducks!

Fantastic experience: Capacity fitness is a wonderful gym with 2 of the most caring and helpful coaches in the game. Coaches Hugh and Gabby are both passionate about fitness and wellness in general, and really know their stuff. Working with both of them, both privately and in group classes, is an absolute pleasure and I can't wait to keep working with them in the future!
