Great coaches, fun workouts, friendly vibe, awesome playlists! The box is truly inclusive to a wide range of ages and fitness levels. You won’t be bored, as there is a great variety of workouts. Dog friendly 🐶

In my 8th year at CrossFit Bethesda (CFB) and this gym is my second home. It does not get better than this. CFB has knowledgable, world class trainers and workouts that are challenging, but achievable for every fitness level. They will get you in shape and help you achieve your fitness goals.The community is tight-knit and supportive. If you're thinking about it, DO IT!!

Great work outs and great coaches! I have really enjoyed being part of this community :)

extremely welcoming community and very helpful and friendly coaches. Been at it for 3 months and my only regret is not joining earlier💪

Drop in and open gym for those traveling. Great space and super friendly fit people!

What a great gym filled with great people! I was in DC for three weeks for work and needed a gym.

What a great gym filled with great people! I was in DC for three weeks for work and needed a gym. From the get-go their staff was very polite and welcoming, as well as flexible and understanding of my circumstances. Then, upon going to the gym for those three weeks, everyone of the coaches and members were so welcoming and polite! For example, there's always that awkward new-person where are things and I don't want to get in the way energy, and yet as I moved through the gym I was met with smiles, encouragements, and patience as they explained where things were, where to set-up, and motivation to work-out. For what it's worth - a loud THANK YOU to everyone at the gym and a strong recommendation for anyone in their area. Less

Great CrossFit gym with friendly members

One of the best CrossFit gyms in the country. (I have been to a bunch when I travel for work) You are taught by athletes who actually compete in the games! They care about warm up and form as much as pushing you to be your best. I am happy to be a part of the community.

Dropped in while in town visiting and they were very welcoming and had an awesome WOD!

My biggest worry with CrossFit is the injuries you hear about. I was skeptical but once I joined I knew immediately that the coaches were serious about the long term health and not the fatigue seeking stories you come across. A typical class will have you stretch for 10 minutes and then have guided sessions for the next. whether you are jacked and ripped or just beginning the coaches scale every... More

The best

We recently moved here from Pittsburgh and Crossfit Bethesda instantly felt like home. The community is great, the workouts are tough, and the coaches really care. We're going to be members here for a very long time!

Great coaching, wonderful people, fun vibe. Highly recommend this fantastic box to newer or experienced athletes.

Amazing place. The coaches and other members are extremely supportive.

Crossfit Bethesda is so welcoming and friendly. It really feels like a family.

A friend referred me to Ray though and said he was awesome, so I decided to try it out. I'm so glad I did. I feel stronger than I ever have before. The coaches are knowledgeable both about crossfit and about strength training and injury prevention. There are athletes here who are avid lifters and qualify for things like wodapalooza, and also others who just want to enjoy working out with friends and stay fit. There's a place for all ability levels here. 10/10 recommend. Less

Started at CFB about a year ago and cant recommend Crossfit and CFB specifically enough. Its an awesome atmosphere with amazing coaches and community. I've tried all the gyms in the area and nothing compares if you're looking for something that will really push you. Great for all experience levels!

Awesome atmosphere and amazing coaches. They are all friendly, knowledgeable, and great for whatever type of feedback you need. The CFB community is very welcoming and supportive as well. Its a good mix of serious competitors as well as many just looking to get/stay in shape.

Awesome community with programming that’s constantly evolving to meet the needs of their members. Highly recommend!

Crossfit Bethesda is a great crossfit club. It is well organized and cleaned. There are showers which not all crossfit clubs have. The coaches are absolutely great, knowledgeable, skilled and certified. And there is great admin support for all logistical and admin questions. I'm a regular at that club for about 10 years on and off and I highly recommend it. Thank you Crossfit Bethesda team!

Great gym and great people. I highly recommend it!

Lovvvvvvvvve this place! I’ve been a member for a few years now and I’ve started to try new class times and I’m falling in love with this place all over again.

Knowledgeable coaches, awesome atmosphere and very welcoming. Ray, Chris, Wes and Diana are awesome and accommodating. Definitely recommend.

This is the only gym where I feel motivated to workout in regularly. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable.

CFB is my home away from home - my daily paradise. The community is awesome, the coaches (Diana and Ray in particular) are so knowledgeable and helpful, and Ray's programming is the brilliant "classic" CrossFit I love. By far the best CrossFit gym in the area. I highly recommend, to beginners and experienced athletes alike.

I really enjoy going to this gym. The coaches (Chris, Diana, Ray) are so knowledgable and committed to seeing you reach your goals or have a good time. There is a really good sense of community/team building. Location is pretty nice too, and the facility/space is awesome - clean, organized, safe. If you're looking for a CrossFit gym in the area, definitely recommend checking out this gym.

I love CrossFit Bethesda! I've been a member for 5 years! The coaches are great and the atmosphere inviting.

CrossFit Bethesda is the best, hard core gym in the area, maybe anywhere. The coaches are exceptional, especially Ray and Diana. The workouts are challenging, but accessible and inclusive, so that anybody, at any level, can get really fit.

Favorite gym I have ever been to - the coaches, the people, and the programming are amazing. I always look forward to spending my early mornings here!

Very nice pump house!! Coming back every Saturday from now on!!

The saddest part of leaving Bethesda has been losing this community. Such a great gym with great people. Being in shape is neat too.

CrossFit Bethesda is the best gym I have ever been to. They have fantastic coaches and the most welcoming and encouraging environment. I highly recommend!

Incredible, absolutely love it. Coaches are great and the environment is both competitive and supportive.

I started CrossFit after my first bike accident, with no prior experience in weight training. It was recommended to me for learning how to move evenly, and build balanced strength, which is great to relieve pain from any muskoskeletal disorders. I could not be more grateful for knowledgeable, patient coaches such as Chris and Katie, who go the extra distance to help, and also modify whenever needed. They put health first, and are willing to answer questions. Building strength, mobility, and awareness has truly helped me manage degenerative disc. I have so much fun every day learning more, and getting in an awesome workout. I always have a big smile on my face at CrossFit; I am so grateful to be there. The community events are great and really fun. It is amazing how much possibility there is to progress, and how much diversity of activities exist within the sport of CrossFit also known as functional fitness. One cannot understate the importance of coaches who really care and help us all learn good form, essential to properly execute all activities of life. So grateful! Less

I've been a member for crossfit and barbell for 9 months and am a big fan! well run, fun folks, good equipment and programming!

Absolutely loved this box! This was my first Crossfit gym and the experience has made me stick with Crossfit for sure. Coaches are A++ They made me feel welcome from day 1 and are always there to properly guide you through the movements and get your butt in gear during the metcons! Excellent programming that works effectively to build strength and endurance but also with an emphasis on overall health and well being. Fantastic community as well! I have traditionally been a solo guy at the gym, but Crossfit changed that. Everyone is friendly and fun, plus they are just the right amount of competitive to push you to do a little more than you could do on your own. Unfortunately I had to move and switch gyms but I miss my 6:30am crew! Were very accommodating and communicative during the height of the pandemic too. When they had to shut down they let us take equipment home and provided online tools for daily workouts. When it was time to reopen they made sure they provided the safest and most sanitary environment possible with the proper protocols in place to ensure the health of every member. They also offered outdoor classes for those who did not feel comfortable returning indoors. I really can't say enough good things about this gym and hope to get to drop in for a class again sometime in the future! Less

I started at CFB about a year ago - such a welcoming environment and the coaches are so attentive and encouraging. Challenging and fun programming, and the gym is really clean! I’m moving from Bethesda next month and will miss coming here🙂

I've been with CFB for eight years and the coaches are always patient and accommodating for my many injuries and physical limitations. During COVID restrictions, there were so many options to continue working out.

Great workouts that keep you challenged. The coaches really know how to tailor everything to your needs!

I've been going to this gym for almost three years now and couldn't recommend it any higher.

CFB has been an amazing experience for me. I'm challenged everyday both mentally and physically, but supported by a great coaching staff and members from all age groups. Katie, the owner, truly goes above and beyond to ensure every member is safe and has the necessary tools to achieve success during their fitness journey.

Fantastic gym and I couldn't speak more highly of the place. I've been a part of several gyms before, and this one ranks among the best. Great coaches, clean, programming is challenging and fun. Highly recommend.

Great gym, great coaches and an awesome community!

Excellent place to train with great coaches! Would recommend for anyone irrespective of training background.

Great gym, great coaches, great community

This is a great gym for beginner or experienced crossfitters. The coaches are very helpful and friendly. I have been going to this gym for 5 yrs now. I have made many friends here and the community is wonderful.

Love this CF!

Just awful how they treat people!!! Stay away!!!

Great instructors and a fun way to work out!

LOVE this gym! The staff is supportive and respectful without being judgemental. The workouts are challenging. The environment is friendly and welcoming, even during COVID.

Great box! It's a big space, with friendly coaches, lots of new equipment, and many class options. They're also doing a great job of managing cleanliness during COVID. Katie in particular was really helpful in accommodating me while I dropped in only for a few weeks.

Great coaches and a really good community!

I've been to multiple boxes, and CrossFit Bethesda is by far my favorite. The coaches are very knowledgeable and provide advice on how to reach your fitness goals & scale your workouts, no matter your level of fitness. Lots of emphasis on technique and stretching to avoid injury, which is important with how challenging CrossFit workouts can be. I highly recommend you try out this gym!

I travel a lot and have been to a lot of boxes and this is for sure one of my favorites. Awesome people and top notch coaches. My lifting has definitely gotten better in my time here! I will miss it !!

CFB is a fantastic gym regardless of where you fall on the CF spectrum. The facility is great and the workouts are always challenging and creative. All the coaches are excellent with addressing any minor or major issues that can help both performance and fitness/wellness, whether its through addressing technique or body functionality. A great environment overall!

Always a pleasure working out at CFB. The trainers and the community are super helpful and encouraging.

I highly recommend going to CrossFit Bethesda. When I moved to DC I tried out multiple different crossfit gyms and was only satisfied once I found CFB. They have a lot of great/knowledgeable coaches and fun/challenging wods. Also, a big plus is that the building itself is street level, not in a basement, which can be difficult to find in the DC area.

nice place. heart of Bethesda. neat, organized. great staff. AWESOME Saturday team of 3 WOD

it's a friendly place to get a great workout with encouraging and helpful people and the best coaching ever!

I don't do my trainings here but I went there with a friend who does, and the people are so lovely and friendly. I felt really welcome there.

Love working out here! Quality coaches and amazing community. You can only get better here!

Great box and community. I’m in town for work regularly and always drop in. I highly recommend it for a drop in or if you need a box and live locally. Thanks for warm welcome John and Chris!

Great coaches! Can get very crowded sometimes. But that speaks to how well the box is run.

She truly cares and it shows in her communications, the coaches she hires and the physical spaces. I really appreciate that this box welcomes and supports CrossFitters with diverse goals. If you are new to CF this is a great box. You will be supported and will increase your fitness safely. If you want to compete you will find like minded people will help you grow. In between is a wide spectrum of CrossFitters who all seem to enjoy and love this box. I appreciate how Katie programmed outdoor classes during COVID. That she really thought through the needs of the community and came up with solutions to help us stay fit. This box provides me a place where I really feel welcomed and a great venue for having fun to stay fit. Love this box, the coaches and Katie. Less

Always enjoy working out here. Coaches lead a stretch first, and then walk you through the movements.

Been going here for years. Coaches are great and provide good feedback. I’ve never felt pressured to do anything I couldn’t by the coaches or other athletes.

Great trainers and equipment for a city location.

Great coaches and great athletes!

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place. Have been going for almost two years. The programming is phenomenal and so are the coaches. They make sure to give individual attention to everyone. Available workouts for ALL levels!

Dropped in while visiting Bethesda. Great atmosphere and great coaching!

Es un muy buen gimnasio y tiene muy bien servicio. Las nuevas instalaciones están muy lindas y todos los equipos son buenos.

New location. New coaches. New crossfitters. Same great experience and workouts. Welcome to the new CrossFit Bethesda. A merger of Tought Temple CrossFit and CrossFit Bethesda. Love CrossFit? Come check it out at 4848 Cordell Ave.

Been a member for nearly 3.5 years! Great fun and wonderful members!

Great coaches and a community of people that really help make this part of your weekly routine!!!

Awesome place and amazing people!! Dropped in from out of town for Murph and had an awesome time!

Crossfit Bethesda is a great place, amicable and very knowledgeable. I will recommend it to anyone

So far awesome! Can't wait to get back after the summer vacation!

It's away of life

Best workouts ever!!!
