Fairwinds CrossFit

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!

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!!

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!

Three years later I still recommend Fairwinds CrossFit as THE place to challenge yourself, try a new workout program, and meet the best people Annapolis has to offer! You will leave every class feeling a little bit stronger (a lot more sore) and looking forward to the next day’s workout. Coaches Eric, Jack, Shelley, and Sophia have created a welcoming, fun environment with truly something for everyone.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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!

I dropped in at Fairwinds for a week and it was the most welcoming environment! The workouts and the people were great! It is now my go to gym whenever I am in the Annapolis area! Highly recommend checking it out :)

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.

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 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!!!

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

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.

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!

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.

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!

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

Coaches Eric and Jack are the best! They're always helping athletes get better with a great balance of support & encouragement while pushing us to work hard. The other members are welcoming and always support each other. So glad I found this place!
