Catoctin CrossFit^®

Fantastic experience: Great gym and a great community to be apart of with some of the best coaches I’ve had.

Fantastic experience: First time doing CrossFit! Luke and Troy were great coaches. They taught me proper form and all the basics. Definitely a must-do and will be back again

Fantastic experience: I had been wanting to sign up for years. I am so happy that I finally went to an intro class. It was not intimidating but a lot of fun!

Fantastic experience: I’ve only done three workouts so far- and I’m hooked. What an awesome place to go to not only get a great workout-but feel like you are ready to take on the world when you are done. The encouragement, and positive vibes are truly awesome!

Fantastic experience: Hands down one of the best CrossFit gyms I’ve attended. Zach and Marcus are superb coaches with a wealth of knowledge and enthusiastic about helping individuals meet their lifestyle goals. I immediately felt welcomed by them and by the CrossFit Community they’ve built. I’m honored and blessed to have found Catoctin CrossFit while staying in Purcellville. I would recommend this gym to anyone looking to start CF or an experienced athlete looking to take their training to the next level. Updated review as of 23NOV2022 Catoctin CrossFit is the epitome of “performing the common, uncommonly well”. They place people first and provide a holistic approach to health, fitness, & strength, through the focus and values of CF. Their coaches and programming are unmatched and truly the top CF gym I have been a part of. I started CF in 2010 and have had the opportunity to experience different gyms and coaching styles but none have come close to the quality of Cactoctin CrossFit.

Fantastic experience: I haven't worked out in over 10 years. I was extremely anxious as I have a few old injuries that I thought would make working out difficult. My first visit we talked through different stretches and variations of exercises to accommodate my issues. I had a blast!!! The workouts are challenging but so rewarding! Everyone is extremely friendly and willing to help! Excited to continue my fitness journey with Catoctin CrossFit!

Fantastic experience: Dropped in while traveling to the area for a wedding. From one CrossFit gym owner to another, what an awesome place with awesome people. Class was coached VERY well start to finish and from the moment I walked in it felt like being right at home. Highly recommend to all. They do it right!

Fantastic experience: I'm new to working out and as a result am not in great shape. I decided that, at my age, that it was time to get some exercise. Did the free class and really enjoyed it. Zach and all of the other coaches have been great. A lot of attention and focus on proper form and tailoring the routine to match my current fitness level and skill. Other people attending the classes have also been really helpful and motivating. The workouts have been really kicking my butt but I come out feeling great every time. This has exceeded my expectations. I can tell you firsthand, if you're out of shape and thinking about Crossfit but unsure, give Zach and Catoctin Crossfit a try.

Fantastic experience: Staff was very friendly and welcoming. The workouts are short but intense, so you’re not wasting any time. Will definitely be coming back!

Fantastic experience: Catoctin CrossFit is the best. They provide hands-on training to beginners which keeps us safe and enables us to learn proper techniques to succeed. They are knowledgeable about fitness, nutrition, and body maintenance. Their workouts are challenging and rewarding!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been with CrossFit Catoctin for a week now. I really appreciate the amount of feedback/coaching I get regardless of class size. The coaches have been very attentive, encouraging and informative when it comes to technique and very accommodating. I also appreciate that no matter your skill level, the coaches meet you where you’re at.

Fantastic experience: Zach and his team of Coaches are outstanding in terms of motivation, technique/form, and accountability. A great mix of hard work and good humor! Come join and increase your level of health and fitness. You owe it to yourself!

Fantastic experience: I was looking for a gym near me and found Catoctin CrossFit! This place is great! I would have given it 7 stars but 5 was the most. Hands down the best gym in Purcellville. You have to check these guys out!

Fantastic experience: i was looking for a gym near me, and i found Catoctin CrossFit in Purcellville, Virginia! Best gym experience and it truly feels like family every time you walk through the doors!

Fantastic experience: Love what Catoctin CrossFit is doing with their gym! Incredibly motivating environment and best workout I have had in a while. They allowed me to test the gym before I signed up and it was a no brainer by the end of the trial. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: THIS! Are looking for a way to ... jumpstart fitness? Find the path to perfect health? Up your already strong workout routines? Catoctin CrossFit is for you!

Fantastic experience: This place is GREAT! In friendly, inspiring, and simply fun atmosphere, the highly professional coaches deliver their knowledge and skills with love, enjoyment, and care. I am 52 y.o. breast cancer survivor, just welcomed in this big Catoctin Crossfit family with warmth, support, and encouragement. I love the fact that the fitness program is customized to focuse on my needs as well as challenging, and fun! I can't wait to see myself growing, improving, transforming.

Fantastic experience: This is the perfect place to stay motivated and find others who hold the same interest. Everyone is so friendly and makes every experience enjoyable.This is a great place to start your CrossFit journey!

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Catoctin CrossFit, the coaches are both very welcoming and highly skilled, often giving feedback on form. The gym has great energy and the workout programming has been excellent; every day I reflect that I wouldn't be achieving the same quality of workouts or consistency on my own.

Fantastic experience: I travel quite a bit for work and try to drop in all over the country. I was in Leesburg for a week, Catoctin Crossfit is one of the best! If I lived here I’d join, no question. The coaches are so helpful and welcoming, they know what they are doing and I could see them helping members with form. I got some great tips on certain movements I don’t do often. The members are super friendly and I really enjoyed meeting them. Coach Zack was really responsive when I first contacted them. Coach Troy writes all of the programming and I was really impressed. It’s varied, challenging and fun! I will definitely come back when I’m next in Leesburg!

Fantastic experience: I was looking for a gym near me while in Purcellville VA and found Catoctin CrossFit! Excellent, clean facility with all the necessary equipment and space. The coaching staff and members were very welcoming too! I had such a great workout with them and would highly recommend if you’re looking for a gym in Purcellville.

Fantastic experience: Dropped in for a weekend. There are many places in the area, and I'm thankful I chose Catotin Crossfit. Super friendly community and great energy from the coaches. For sure a box worth visiting again!

Fantastic experience: All staff are knowledgeable and supportive regarding exercise physiology and strength development. There is an educational component to each interaction which is not only reassuring and confidence building but aids in my understanding of how strength and balance will grow as I continue this training. I can’t think of anything I would add to this experience so far, so I am giving 5 stars.

Fantastic experience: Travelled in the area from overseas and Zach and his crew welcomed me to the gym and made it quite easy to jump right into a class. Great atmosphere and awesome music during the workout! :)

Fantastic experience: This place is fantastic!! I was looking for a challenge and something different to incorporate into my daily routine. I went to one class and was hooked. Not only are the workouts challenging and engaging but the sense of community and support from the coaches and other members is second to none. I'm really looking forward to continuing my training at Catoctin Crossfit. Would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Purcellville!!! I was looking for a gym near me and found Catoctin CrossFit. The staff, coach, workout and facility are excellent, wow! If you’re ever looking for CrossFit in Purcellville, look no further and reach out to these guys!

Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough incredible things about this place. After years of “thinking” about trying Crossfit out, I took the leap and now I’m obsessed. It’s been a very long time since I’ve felt the way this gym makes me feel after a workout. Zack and all of his coaches are knowledgeable, helpful and kind. I’ve never felt intimidated, only inspired and I absolutely can’t wait to go back.

Fantastic experience: Zach and his team at Catoctin Crossfit are the finest coaches with whom I have ever worked. Not only are they experts in fitness and wellbeing, but their collective coaching style genuinely taps into every client’s very best performance and effort. They are pretty much magic-workers that way. Sometimes crossfit gets a bad wrap because it’s perceived as wreckless. Let me put your mind at ease - every workout can be altered and the coaches at CCF encourage responsible fitness inline with personal needs and limitations. The beauty and magic of CCF coaches is that despite having a large client base, they genuinely care about every athlete - they identify and remember our limitations and strike a perfect balance between maximizing our effort and protecting our health. Moreover, CCF offers much more than lifting weights and high intensity workouts - from yoga to mobility clinics, CCF promotes whole wellness. I have always been truly impressed with their approach - it’s something I’ve never seen offered elsewhere. Beyond the expertise and phenomenal workouts that I’ve found in CCF, I’ve also found an entire family of amazing and diverse athletes. CCF is the foundation of an entire community based on support, encouragement, grit, and a lot of sweat. It’s a beautiful thing and I am beyond grateful to be a part of it. It is an understatement to say I recommend CCF - if you are just beginning your crossfit journey or if you are looking for a new place to continue it, CCF is the place. Look no further.

Fantastic experience: I love it! I was a little bit scared to start lifting weights, and it is challenging. However the coaches are great, patience and give you a good feedback. So excited about my CrossFit journey

Fantastic experience: This place is awesome! I’ve never been someone who looked forward to traditional, mundane lifting at the gym. This place and CrossFit in general are anything but mundane. The circuits are always different, challenging and can even be competitive if you want. The whole team oriented atmosphere at Catoctin makes it unlike anywhere else and it’s something I very much look forward to every day. The camaraderie you’ll develop with your fellow gym mates and the coaches helps create accountability naturally which is awesome. Zach and the other coaches are great! They create a great experience by focusing on what your individual needs/goals are instead of just throwing you into a cookie cutter workout. So if you’re tired of your current gym experience are you’re looking for something new and exciting, come check out Catoctin CrossFit! Even if you have zero experience at CrossFit (like I did…still learning), they’ll take care of you.

Fantastic experience: This is my first time with CrossFit so I was a little apprehensive to say the least. My worries were all for not as the staff and other members have been exceedingly helpful and welcoming. The coaches stick with you until you know the routine and are performing the exercises correctly and safely. This is the start of something extremely positive and rewarding.

Fantastic experience: This is the best gym in Purcellville, hands down. I’ve been working out for a long time and Catoctin CrossFit has the most knowledgeable coaches, best equipment, plenty of space and a clean environment, welcoming to all ages and fitness abilities! I cannot recommend enough

Fantastic experience: Love this community! Everyone is so friendly, welcoming, and extremely motivating. The coaches are all very knowledgeable and really pay attention to proper form. They help to create modifications for cases of preexisting injuries/health conditions and help to instill and nurture a confidence within that you may have not known was there or have long forgotten about. I’ve really come to love the workouts at Catoctin CrossFit and am so happy I’ve finally found a home to grow in.

Fantastic experience: I was ready to switch up my exercise routine and made a great choice! Catoctin CrossFit has been so welcoming and motivating! Plenty of coaches are on hand to make sure you keep good form and stay safe. Some social events but also just great interaction with the other people in the class make it fun. There are lots of sessions to choose from but by being a regular at a certain class time I’m getting to know new friends more quickly. I am feeling stronger and fitter already in week 4!

Fantastic experience: This is the gym I’ve been looking for since moving back to the DMV area from CA in 2020. Great coaches, who have created an awesome atmosphere. Challenging but fun workouts, which are different every day. I highly recommend Catoctin CrossFit for anyone bored with working out on their own.

Fantastic experience: Hands-down the best Crossfit gym I've ever been to (and I've been to quite a few)! I'm convinced I'll never find one like it again. It has everything all the other gyms were missing for me. Extremely welcoming environment from the moment you step your foot in the door. The community is the best and there are a variety of age groups so you won't feel left out. No egos here! The coaching is top notch. While it's fitness in a group setting, there are always two coaches in class so it feels more like one-on-one. They are always working with you on form, no matter how new or experienced you are. The help you modify if you have prior injuries and there is a huge focus on mobility and stretching, which I feel many boxes lack. Programming is excellent and there is lots of variety. Nice balance of cardio and strength. If you are new to Crossfit or working out, in general, this is the perfect place to get started. You will feel at home here.

Fantastic experience: Catoctin Crossfit is the best gym in Purcellville, hands down! I tried other gyms before coming to CCF, and after my first trial there I was hooked! The coaches are excellent, and the community is wonderful. Everyone is very supportive and encouraging, and it’s a great environment to be in every day. The workouts are programmed to challenge and push you, and the coaches help refine technique and help you be a better athlete. I always leave the gym better than when I entered it, and have gained so much strength over the last 5 years!

Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough good things about Catoctin CrossFit! I was looking for something new to try and a gym near me, and this gym is hands down the Best Gym Purcellville has to offer! The coaches really care about you and your fitness goals, they make sure you are doing things correctly and help you improve your fitness and CrossFit skills. The workouts are challenging and fun and have such a variety of movements and exercises that you never get bored. There is a good mix of cardio and strength and really an awesome sense of community at this gym! Don’t be intimidated by CrossFit… there is something for everyone here and we all support each other on our fitness journeys! If you are looking for a gym Purcellville offers that has variety, community and will challenge you… come try it!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism , Quality Catoctin CrossFit is awesome! The coaches are very knowledgeable in anatomy and form. If you are looking for a great community and workouts that push you then come check out a class. This is truly a great investment in your health and physical fitness.

Fantastic experience: This is the place to be! Great coaches, great group of people. Everyone is supportive of one another no matter where one is in their fitness journey. Challenging guided workouts and much much more. Zach has created a culture with positive momentum for fitness and health where I look forward to coming back each day!

Fantastic experience: Excellent place, in a great location with amazing staff to help you get into your best physical fitness level. All age groups represented with numerous times to work-out; from early mornings to afternoons you can find the time. Catoctin CrossFit is more than just a place to get your sweat on, it's a family that loves to welcome new members. I give Catoctin CrossFit the highest of Recommendations! You will not be disappointed when you workout with them.

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend this gym enough!! I started in October at the recommendation of a friend trying to get my pre baby body back. I’ve never been a class person but I quickly became hooked! Everyone from the coaches to the others training with you are super helpful and welcoming. Zach and the other coaches have not only helped me with training they’ve also helped me with my nutrition. If you’re looking for a gym that hits all the points this is it!

Fantastic experience: I started CrossFit in July after trying in home workouts for years. I quickly found myself going 5 days per week. The coaches are amazing and while there are several people in each class, I get enough 1:1 support to make it feel like personal training. They motivate and encourage me to do more while never making me feel like the beginner that I am! The community they have created is also amazing with everyone providing support and cheering each other on. I drive from Leesburg and don’t mind the commute given how much I get in return. Thanks CCF!

Fantastic experience: Catoctin CrossFit is an exceptional gym. As some who regularly travels for work and has dropped in on a number of gyms over the years (including one owned by a CrossFit Games athlete!), this gym is the best I’ve attended. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming. The programming is exceptional, and the coaching is great. One thing is for certain, if you attend this gym regularly, you will get fit. I would highly recommend this gym.

Fantastic experience: Awesome place!! I wanted to find a friendly and welcoming place to start getting healthier and so glad I found Catoctin CrossFit! Having a sedentary lifestyle, I knew it was going to be brutal, but Coach Zach was encouraging and helped me modify everything to my ability. I’m still very new, but excited to keep going! Being new and out of shape made me feel super anxious about going, but everyone has been friendly and I feel welcomed each time! Signing up for a trial was super easy and there was no pressure join immediately. Outstanding gym!

Fantastic experience: This place is awesome. I've been out of the gym for a little while and struggling to work out consistently. I've never done CrossFit before either. The whole team were hugely supportive and motivational. They introduced me to the other gym goers every morning making me feel very welcome in a group that have been working out for a while. They walked me through new movements and pushed me beyond what I would motivate myself to do. Couldn't ask for more.

Fantastic experience: The owner Zach and the coaches are so welcoming! I have dropped in a few times over the past 4 years whenever I visit family in the area, and they always welcome me with a smile. The gym is big, the people are friendly and the workouts are awesome! I look forward to dropping into the gym in the future!!

Fantastic experience: Zach is a fantastic coach, always encouraging and taking the time to help you get the best out of the workout no matter where you are fitness-wise. At Catoctin CrossFit, you’ll challenge limits you didn’t realize you had, and break through ones you never thought you could. Everyone working out with you is also super encouraging and welcoming. The proximity to the W&OD trail is super nice— other crossfit gyms I’ve been to just send you on laps around the parking lot for runs, but not here. You get a beautiful trail to work with! I couldn’t recommend this gym more! I unfortunately live a couple hours away and can only drop in when I visit family, but if you’re lucky enough to live close by, you’ll definitely want to make this your home gym.

Fantastic experience: Love love love this gym!! As a travel nurse I have the opportunity to workout and experience a lot of gyms, their coaches, and different methods of training. This gym is by far one of my favorites with stellar programming, knowledgeable coaching staff, and clean good quality equipment. Workouts are planned with adequate warm up time, a quick demonstration of the movements, and well thought out strength and conditioning. Since there are always multiple coaches present, they are able to give one on one instruction to members needing extra technique coaching throughout the workout, and not make the entire class waste time going over the Olympic movements at the beginning of class. Overall highly recommend and will be back in the future to drop in!
