Hey’all,I have never been a gym rat and CrossFit terrified me, until I showed up here. I started in September on 2024 and have been a regular ever since. The community is supportive, the coaches are knowledgeable, and the workouts are challenging. I’ve never felt better. Huge thanks to the FWCF team!!!

More than just four walls. Fairwinds Crossfit is a community of caring individuals helping one another achieve their fitness goals. A welcoming and fun atmosphere.

Fairwinds CrossFit has allowed me to not only learn about my own strength and abilities but to be surrounded by people who support me and want me to succeed. Fairwinds is such a great community of people. The gym welcomes everyone and the trainers work with you to do what you can do… and even push you to do more! Going on year 2 of my membership and many more to come 🏋️‍♀️💪🏼😎💚

Such a great welcoming community!

5 stars is an understatement! I came to Fairwinds hoping to improve my overall strength and endurance… fortunately for me, I gained so much more than that. There is nothing like the Fairwinds community and atmosphere - super welcoming, supportive, accommodating, and professional. Much gratitude for ALL the incredible coaches. I’ll continue looking forward to my daily dose of WOD’s on the creek!! If you’ve made it this far on my longwinded review… just do it already :) - MariWell it has been 1 yr since I wrote this review- couldn’t have said it better! I attribute my consistency to the great coaching staff and the supportive Fairwinds Community 💪🏻

What an amazing community. My wife and I joined here after our gym closed and the welcome we got was warm, kind and understanding. The coaching is good and the owner is the heart of the gym. I am grateful to be a part of the Fairwinds Crossfit.

This place rocks. Frothy vibes as you drive through Bert’s yacht club with the bourgeoisie sneering down at you while they clog their arteries with caviar and lobster. Do they have what it takes to enter into the iron church? Absolutely not. But you do. As you walk past the docks you’re reminded of the simple pleasure of life. Some people say it’s what gets them through the workout. Nay, I don’t even look out yonder. I keep my eyes to the ground. The black asphalt might as well be a mirror, reflecting the dark and rough soul within. Then again, I’m a bit different than your average Joe. I gargled piss this morning. Inside, the electrifying energy of Sabby Carp serenading you as your insides feel like they wanna be your outsides reminds me of my time at Coronado. I just wish I could roll around in the sand one more time… The owner with youth pastor vibes chirping you on the erg. The cold, steel barbell at your fingertips. Coach Brad with his voix des velours reverberating through your head. Truly no better place to GET SOME. If I could make this more than 5/5 stars I could. 10/5 even. Think about that. This is 100% better than 100% of 5… Wild.

The stereotype of the cutthroat CrossFitter atmosphere is entirely upended at Fairwinds. While there is plenty encouragement to be the best you can be, this does not come at the expense of inclusion. This is the real deal, and the way to do it.

Raj did great leading the class and demonstrating the movements. He is a great coach! Very knowledgeable about the workouts and is very friendly and inclusive.

2025-10-13T20:49:53.555Z

Everyone at Fairwinds was so kind and welcoming during my drop in. Eric was an awesome coach! He was able to help me choose which movements would work best for me during the class and ensured that I didn't have any questions or concerns. I would definitely return and recommend!

2025-09-23T17:37:50.055Z

Great coaches, supportive environment!

2025-09-19T13:34:01.043Z

This gym is great! The morning crew is solid. Well thought out space and great energy from everyone. Looking forward to more.

2025-09-10T11:07:48.234Z

Classes are incredibly fun and Eric has been supportive every step of the way! This is my first time doing CrossFit and everything is explained thoroughly and there is zero judgement. Highly recommend!!

Great personalized workout for a Bachelorette party! Made it a fun way to break up the partying of the weekend. 10/10 recommend reaching out to them for a personalized group workout. He made it scaleable, fun and inclusive. The gym is also right on the water so it’s a beautiful location.

2025-08-23T17:15:05.005Z

My friends and I did a bachelorette WOD! Eric was fun and the workout was fun and inclusive! I highly recommend visiting this gym!!!

My view of CrossFit has changed thanks to Fairwinds. All of the coaches are excellent but I have had the most classes with Jack and Eric. Both are top tier. They provide invaluable instruction on form and make more challenging movements accessible through progressive scaling options. I leave their classes always feeling like I have been successful in improving one aspect of my fitness whether it was strength, mastering a new movement, endurance or mobility. I came from a power lifting background and was wary of the gymnastic movements and Olympic lifts but now love learning these new movements.

FR: En tant que Française de passage à Annapolis, je n’étais pas forcément très à l’aise au début, un peu timide avec la barrière de la langue.Mais chez Fairwinds, j’ai été immédiatement mise à l’aise !Les coachs sont attentifs, bienveillants et donnent de très bons conseils.L’ambiance est chaleureuse et familiale, que ce soit avec les coachs ou avec les adhérents, toujours accueillants et souriants. Si je reviens à Annapolis, ce sera avec grand plaisir que je reviendrai m’entraîner ici.Un grand merci aux coachs et à toutes les personnes que j’ai pu rencontrer !Je recommande à 100% cette box de crossfit !EN : As a French visitor in Annapolis, I was not very comfortable at first, a bit shy because of the language barrier.But at Fairwinds, I immediately felt at ease!The coaches are attentive, supportive, and give excellent advice.The atmosphere is warm and family-like, both with the coaches and with the members, who are always welcoming and smiling. If I come back to Annapolis, I will be more than happy to train here again.A big thank you to the coaches and to all the people I had the chance to meet !I 100% recommend this CrossFit box!

Excellent CrossFit gym and Eric is a wonderful coach! Enjoyed the workout and learned new techniques from Eric. Many thanks!

I really loved this gym. I wish I could have stayed. I had the pleasure of meeting Eric during my consultation and he was just amazing to get to know. He immediately made me feel welcomed, so much so, that I was willing to drive the 35 mins it took to get to his gym instead of going to the CF gyms closer to my house. I immediately started with 3-days/week and Eric never forgot my name. Each early morning class I attended, he was right there, greeting me, smiling and being just as hilarious as he is. He knew I hadn't been in a CF gym in a few years and was helping me to get myself back on track. He worked with me when it came to certain workouts that I couldn't do that those who were more advanced could. Eric would also give me great alternative workouts that I was still able to complete with/during the class. He pushed and encouraged me to try harder each time but to also pace myself and listen to my body. I have to say, that in those 2 months+ there, I lost close to 40lbs. My body NEEDED that. Not only was Eric great, but the other members of the gym were super friendly and very welcoming. Though I was nervous (because I am naturally shy with people I don't know - even if you can't tell), I was easily able to warm up by the end of the first class. Those 5:15am classes are legit and just amazing to be apart of. Also, a nice bonus is - this gym is off the water by the boats, so catching that early morning breeze in the summer along with the beautiful sunrise by the end of class is simply just peaceful and bliss, especially after a good burn. If I didn't move all of the way to the West Coast, I would have stayed at this gym. It broke my heart having to leave, but Eric was more than understanding to me and my situation. I will never be able to say thank you or show my gratitude to Eric enough. Even in travel and trying other places, there really just isn't a gym that makes you feel so "at home" and apart of a family like Fairwinds CrossFit. Considering what CF gym memberships usually cost, this was very reasonable and there were different payment options/ plans that could really be worked into a budget. Keep being amazing! I absolutely 10 out of 10 RECOMMEND!!!! If you're thinking twice about it, DON'T!!!

Joining Fairwinds Cross Fit has been one of my better decisions! Eric and Jack are great coaches and while I initially thought it would be very intimidating, everyone has been so welcoming and supportive. It’s a great place to start or continue your fitness journey and relearn some lost skills - think jump rope!

2025-08-01T02:51:38.317Z

Very welcoming and fun group of people at a great gym with 3 great coaches. 5:30 P.M. class attendee!Each coach has their own touch with fantastic fundamentals and all encourage/walk you through perfect form for every workout/exercise you can imagine. Every day you can check the workout on their app and regardless of if you know everything or not, you’re in for a great workout (they’ll show you how to do everything!)Even in a group of people I feel like I am getting personal attention on my lifts.Coming from someone with a lot of previous exercise and non-CrossFit gym experience…the level of improvement across the board in such a short amount of time is very impressive. 10/10 would recommend!

2025-07-29T10:55:14.234Z

My kids participated in Groundwork Fit this summer and it was fantastic! The classes were the right balance of challenging and fun. It’s a great environment for kids to try new things, build confidence, and stay active. Highly recommend for families looking for something different and inspiring!

2025-07-10T13:17:09.197Z

Jack is always awesome about building up to and helping to scale the workout of the day. There no need to be scared of workouts because he works with you to find what you need, where you are, and where your body is for the day.

2025-06-08T19:44:30.495Z

Want to say a massive thank you to the team and community at Fairwinds CrossFit.I came in using a guest pass, as I was on holiday and staying nearby, and everyone I met was incredibly welcoming.All in all a great size gym, with a good range of equipment, and workouts which were tailorable to the needs/abilities of everyone in the group (myself included as I don't usually train at a CrossFit affiliate).The workouts were a great addition to my week, and when we come back I'll definitely be booking in again.Thank you, and I would 100% recommend for anyone.

2025-05-27T14:27:59.186Z

Warm up: clearly laid out on whiteboard, kept us moving & felt prepared for workout.WOD:Well planned with the two heats so all athelets could use echo bike. Thoughtfully created tests to set expectations for calorie ride...I felt more confident knowing I could achieve calorie goal in 60 seconds.Post or Pre work was self regulated and appreciated given the intensity of the WOD.

2025-05-14T17:10:43.135Z

Eric was very welcoming our first time coming into the gym. The gym is spacious and very well equipped with lots of clean, new equipment. Brad, who coached our workout, did a great job explaining the workout, each movement, and how to approach it. He brought positive energy and was encouraging throughout. We got an excellent workout as a result, and had a good time! We will definitely be coming back

2025-05-14T16:23:21.095Z

Brad was patient and really helpful - a great coach!

2025-05-13T00:36:58.986Z

I had a fun workout today with raj despite it being difficult. He opened and closed with fun questions, thoroughly explained the workout, and was encouraging throughout.
