I can't say enough good things about Paul Koczera and his small group training program at Catoctin Fitness. I tried many studios and classes in the area before joining, and I'm so glad I did--none of the other gyms compare to Paul's program. The small group format allows him to provide each participant with personalized instruction. Each class is carefully planned and structured to ensure whole-b... More
I can't say enough good things about Paul Koczera and his small group training program at Catoctin Fitness. I tried many studios and classes in the area before joining, and I'm so glad I did--none of the other gyms compare to Paul's program. The small group format allows him to provide each participant with personalized instruction. Each class is carefully planned and structured to ensure whole-body strength training over the course of the week. (This also ensures that the workouts are never boring.) Paul knows the fitness goals of every one of his clients, and is very positive, affirming, and encouraging - checking in outside of the studio to provide motivation and check on recovery. After decades of an on-again, off-again relationship with fitness, I can honestly say this is the only gym/workout I actually look forward to going to-- even in the morning! If you're on the fence about joining, just do it! You won't regret it. Less
So far the past couple of days have been great my entire body feels sore even down to my fingertips and toes. But that's all expected and no pain no gain.
Fantastic work out experience and a highly motivated and supportive coaching staff!!
Great environment
Just joined up a couple weeks ago, but I’m loving it so far. Great and friendly staff that meet you at your level of fitness and adjust/modify the exercises as needed. I’m happy I chose them as part of my fitness journey. Would recommend to just about anyone to come check them out.

Great gym and coaches!
Very motivational and educational
Been at it a week. Excellent communication and coaching. Friendly people. Motivating and encouraging. Emphasis on lifting form and injury prevention. Shout out to Jason and Jake for drilling me toward where I want to be.
Amazing staff and gym. Very knowledgeable, friendly and the community is amazing.
Still a newbie but so happy I made the choice to come here. The coaching staff is excellent and the community here has made me feel welcome from day one!
Great gym, great coaches and awesome crowd!
Love this place. Paul has been a knowledgeable and friendly coach who addresses individual needs. Everyone can benefit from this program!
Catoctin CrossFit is an excellent and well-equipped gym. Training here as my main CrossFit gym while at school has been a blessing as there’s good coaches and it’s close to school.
Great program with coach Paul! The hybrid program works great with a busy schedule and the hand picked workouts are top notch. I appreciate that it isn’t an “extreme” program that leads to burnout. I really feel like it has targeted weak points while creating a solid fitness base overall.

Signed up for a trial at Catoctin Crossfit.

Can't wait to continue my journey to improve my health this year. If you're considering it, reach out to Zach and schedule a visit. You won't regret it! Less
Paul is an excellent coach. He tailors your workout based on your level. He’s super knowledgeable and patient. Thanks, Coach Paul!

I have been working with Paul in the studio doing his hybrid program. I absolutely love it. Paul is a top notch trainer. His holistic approach to health and fitness is exactly what I have been looking for. After having a baby and being diagnosed with cancer I needed someone to help me start from scratch with my strength and conditioning. He has been so supportive and the program has made me stronger without causing and pain or feeling overwhelmed. Paul is an extreme athlete himself and knows how to train clients of all levels. Highly recommended. Less
Coach Paul puts together an excellent workout and is very encouraging.
The coaches at Catoctin Crossfit are exceptional, and the culture is really inviting. If you’re curious about Crossfit, definitely do a workout with this group to get the most ideal Crossfit experience.
I just started with cross fit and have had a very good experience. The coaches are very helpful with exercise guidance and members are outwardly friendly and helpful as well.
I am a new member at Catoctin Crossfit, AND new to Crossfit. I am very impressed with the positive vibe and experience that Zach and the Catoctin CrossFit team have cultivated. It is apparent the Catoctin staff are very committed to delivering members results and the optimal CrossFit experience. Great coaching, welcoming environment, positive people. Easy to become a fan of this outfit.

Great gym. Plenty of equipment, amazing staff and friendly members. Highly recommend!
I just joined last week so I’ve only had two days of CrossFit. Love It!!! Jake, Jason, and Zach have been so supportive, and I’m grateful. Am I sore, hell yes but in a good way. So excited to continue and see the results mentally and physically!
Awesome and motivating to actually go to the gym.

So far, after one month at Catoctin Crossfit my experience has been a positive one. I started CrossFit about 4 years ago and took a year break and recently started back up. The coaches are knowledgeable and focus on your needs and building your confidence and strength over time. They have multiple class times and something for all levels. Highly recommend this crossfit box 😁
Joined late Nov2023 and everyone has been extremely helpful and welcoming. Thoroughly enjoying myself, thanks
The woman / coach who met and showed me around was great. Very knowledgeable
Awesome gym
It has been a great experience. It's a doable workout but very challenging. The team there are very helpful in finding alternatives for beginners.
I started in November and already seeing the results. This gym is inclusive and a space to have fun while learning the basics.
Really great gym. Excellent programming, coaches, and people.
Great programming and coaching in a welcoming environment! I recently started CrossFit again after several years off (and having kids!). The morning classes are packed with energy and get my day started in the best way. So happy I started at Catoctin!
From the moment I stepped into Catoctin CrossFit, I felt welcomed by both staff and members. The coaches are very knowledgeable and create such a great atmosphere. I look forward to that hour of my day!
Great community and accountability. Always a great workout.
I wanted to give it a try, but I was also scared since never did CrossFit before, and I was so happy I did. It was a really good experience, people were nice and friendly, coaches are awesome! Always Making sure you are doing things right! I loved the vibe. I hope one day I can be good as everyone else there :)
If you are looking for a family environment and a great work out. This location is amazing.
Brand new to Crossfit and I am positive I have picked the perfect place! While I am new my first impressions of the staff, and members has been top notch. I went in super nervous and worried that I would feel intimidated but that feeling quickly faded a few minutes in! Tons of friendly faces! I am really looking forward to the months to come!!
What great energy this place has!! Love the coaches and the community!!
I have been going to CCF for about 2 years and can only recommend it. I always thought you have to be super fit for CrossFit but you can start no matter your level. In the beginning, you get a lot of support from the coaches and they make sure you learn the techniques. If you have any injuries or other health issues, they work with you to modify the workout and I never once felt unsafe.
I was dropping in from out of town for the weekend and the coaches and members there were all so friendly. The facility was possibly one of the cleanest CrossFit gyms I have been to. 5 stars all around!
Catoctin CrossFit provides an exceptional fitness experience! The knowledgeable coaches foster a supportive community by tailoring workouts to various fitness levels. It doesn't matter if you're a total beginner or a CrossFit pro, they make everyone feel part of the team. It’s a fun place to reach your fitness goals and I highly recommend!
This place is just what I needed in my life: group class, awesome & knowledgeable coaches, and a supportive environment around myself. I love to come here and get my butt kicked. I love and appreciate the availability of classes and coaches’ patience while I learn. Thank you so much to all the coaches!

Great workouts and community. Owner and Coach’s are top-notch. Highly recommended.
Coaching staff was excellent and the vibe in the box was awesome.
This is a great community and crew to help you on your fitness journey!
I have never felt such motivation to go on my own and keep a routine as well as feeling the positive outcomes of working out. Troy is an amazing coach and motivational! 10/10
Great coaching, fun atmosphere and an excellent work out. If I move to Virginia I know where I’m going to sign up 🥳🙌💪🏼
I joined recently to get back into the CrossFit community. Catoctin CrossFit has been fantastic! The coaching is excellent and the community is exactly what I was looking for! Highly recommend this gym to anyone looking for a new start.
The coaches at Catoctin CrossFit are great! They take the time to listen to why you are there and any issues you may have and then help come up with a plan. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming!
Best CrossFit Gym around!
I don’t know why my first post didn’t post. I had been almost a year since I’ve been to coach Zach CF gym and I loved it. Great coaches, welcome community that loves CrossFit and life itself. Can’t wait to visit again over the Christmas break. Thank you for having me coach Zach!

Dropped in to Catoctin CrossFit while traveling for work and had a blast! Great programming and welcoming community! Will definitely be dropping in again when work brings me back!
Great people, great facility, great coaches. Great gym to join or drop-in at!
I’m on day 3 at Catoctin CrossFit and am hooked! The coaches are fantastic- I’ve had one on one support each day so far! Highly recommend so far!
Great staff and exercise programs. Always feel good and tired after the workouts.

Really friendly box, great coaching from Zack and solid wod. Will make sure I make it back next time I am near by.

Such a welcoming and supportive community! And a great workout!
Great work outs- as a beginner, I feel like I am getting good support. It is amazing to see all the different levels of cross fitters. It is a great community of people too!

Whether you're a season athlete or a beginner, Catoctin CrossFit caters to all fitness levels. The coaches help by modifying certain workouts due to some of my physical challenges. I can certainly say thank you to all of the coaches for providing an exceptional CrossFit experience that has gone above and beyond my expectations. Less
Very welcoming, supportive gym atmosphere. They provide individual attention and alter exercises to your fitness level. The trainers are all awesome. Highly recommend Catoctin CrossFit.
Great Gym, great coaches, great people
Great gym, friendly and positive re-enforcement
The coaches really make it a great place to workout. Great vibe and atmosphere from fellow gym goers.
Recently got involved with Catoctin CrossFit and know my life will be greatly enhanced! Coach is the best, trainers are great and the participants are friendly.
Dropped in and received a warm welcome from Coach Zach, Jason, and the entire class! The CF community culture is alive and well here!
The trainers are amazing and so helpful! I had never done CrossFit in my life and had no idea what to expect. The workouts are always different and I feel challenged and motivated. I love that everyone works at their own pace that’s is right for their fitness level/goals and people encourage one another. I highly recommend Catoctin CrossFit!!
Simply the best!
I'm glad I joined! The place is amazing, the coaches are so knowledgeable, the environment is so positive and welcoming. I feel so much strong and capable of working out with heavier weights in the first 10 days of being there.
The best gym I've been to.. period. Awesome team, fellow gym mates, great equipment, clean and well kept, and just overall awesome vibes and epic workouts at your own weight & difficulty.
Amazing classes, always different workout to keep it new challenging. Amazing coaches who are constantly professional and attentive to every participant. I make gains every day!
I wasn’t sure if I could do CrossFit as I have a bad knee and thumb but the team has been amazing with pointers on how to strengthen my surrounding muscles to support my injuries. I love it, it’s been a while since I felt this good.
The team is very knowledgeable and supportive. The coaches alter each of my training sessions in the group to compensate for my shoulder limitations. I was worried I wouldn’t be able to participate but they’ve made the class enjoyable pushing me correcting my form and encouraging me.
Dropped into this gym last weekend while visiting family. It was amazing! I cannot begin to explain how welcoming and friendly everyone was not to mention the kickass workout. The atmosphere and professionalism here is fantastic. Highly recommend if you’re looking to drop in or make this your home box. I will be back for sure!
Great knowledgeable trainers who support a diverse community of friendly members!
I'm loving my time at Catoctin CrossFit. The coaches are so motivating and helpful. Not having much experience in lifting I feel the coaches give me a lot of attention and coaching. The workouts have helped rebuild this body from a back injury last year and have helped motivate me to keep moving!
Great spot! Came to this gym while visiting family in Purcellville and they did not disappoint. Multiple coaches in each class making sure they help each step of the way. Zach, Jason, Troy, and John were extremely welcoming. I'll definitely be dropping in when I'm back up in the LoCo area.
Awesome coaches and great group of folks to work out with!
I recently started crossfitting again after a two year battle with cancer. My confidence was low, and I was nervous about my physical condition upon returning to the gym. The Catoctin Crossfit staff eased my fears with their comforting and motivating space. I appreciate their patience and am glad to have this community to help me in this recovery journey.
This place is amazing! Great facility and even greater trainers. I’m only two weeks in and already down a button hole in my belt. I have more energy, straighter back, and overall just feel healthier. Thanks Zach, Jason, Troy, and John! You all have been awesome!
I've been going to this gym for almost two months now and I couldn't be happier! Zach has created such a safe and welcoming environment for people of all fitness levels. The coaches are so knowledgeable and are always willing to help. So glad I found this gym!!
We are new to Catoctin CrossFit and have had a great start! The gym, coaches and all the members are very welcoming. Each coach works with you one-on-one at your own fitness level. You can challenge yourself within your own limits, but will be stretched to your ability with your coach's support.
Awesome team of trainers and great experience - just starting out as we moved to Purcellville recently. Highly recommend a drop in - friendly community and you'll get a nice workout too :)
I am from boston and will drop in here from time to time when I am visiting family in Purcellville. Every time I visit I feel incredibly welcomed and I know I am in for a grueling workout. The coaches are fantastic. They always keep us moving throughout the entire warmup and I always feel ready whatever the workout will throw at me. Thanks for being my box away from home!
It’s been an challenging yet positive journey for me since I joined Catoctin crossfit. This place has pushed me to limits I didn’t know I could go to. All the coaches are phenomenal.

I was in town for a wedding last weekend and decided at the last minute to drop in to a class at Catoctin CrossFit. They were very responsive and made the process super easy. The members were very welcoming, Annelyse was so helpful and Margo was a great coach. She brought the energy from start to finish. If you're in the area you definitely need to check them out.
Great coaches, great community!

2nd week at CCF and 1st time trying Crossfit. I need the constant coaching and group setting. The coaches are great at teaching proper techniques and modifying exercises. I love it so far, and everyone is so welcoming.
Great place and people
I was only able to go to catoctin for I little while bit when I was the the people and the coaches were great.

I really appreciate the welcome, and the way they help me modify the workouts to let me come up to speed in a way that won't immediately lead to injury. The workouts are often very tough. But finding humility, being honest about your health situation with the coaches, and showing up are the keys to launching your health improvement journey. Less

Great workouts, great people that workout there and most importantly amazing coaches that get to know you and your needs weather it be nutrition, flexibility or pushing yourself physically in the workouts. WARNING! Risk of addiction 🤪
My body tends to get used to workouts really easily but with Catoctin CrossFit I’m constantly challenged whilst still listening to my body. Thank you Catoctin CrossFit!!
I love the energy & enthusiasm at this gym. I instantly felt welcomed by the coaching staff and other crossfitters. Catoctin also offers nutritional support, and accountability challenges. I have been missing the nutritional accountability component, and have gained some weight as a result. I’m excited to see how much progress I make in the 6 week nutritional challenge starting today.
One week in and I am already finding myself bummed that I’ll miss a day next week while away! I have always hated to workout but this is different. Everyone has been supportive and willing to guide me on this journey! Excited to continue!
The best place to get in shape and healthy, with all the support you need is right here.
Great coaches, amazing workouts, and a wonderful community!
I've been working out regularly (unless injury prohibited) pretty consistently for 35 years. I have to say CCF is a great match for me at 60. They are so great at modifying movements, as needed. Probably my fav aspect is constant coaching. They all are very interactive during class, which I love. This hopefully will help me keep good form and avoid injury.
Always encouraging and challenging!
Great atmosphere and coaches!
So thankful for Zach and all of the amazing coaches at Catoctin CrossFit. Everyone has welcomed us with open arms and have been extremely helpful with modifications/learning correct form.
Friendly staff and people! Fantastic place to drop-in!

Yes, I know CrossFit gets a bad rap sometimes. I used to be one of the people cracking jokes about it. So, why did I end up joining Catoctin CrossFit ? Well, I took a few classes and ended up loving it. Here's why 👇 I'm coming "off the bench" of about a 1.5 years dealing with severe plantar fasciitis that involved PRP injections, physical therapy, a boot you name it. I considered myself lucky to just be able to use my Peloton maybe once or twice a week. I also think mentally I had convinced myself I would never be able to get back to the "legitimate" workouts I was accustomed to in my younger days. Back in those days my life revolved around ODP soccer, State Championships, traveling teams, earning international soccer caps, and just being as physically fit as any one coach internationally renowned coach could make you. We would cross-train with Olympic Medal hockey programs and be paired with our own Russian Running Coaches (picture something out of a Rocky film) for maximum endurance and speed. You weren't working hard enough if you didn't throw up at least twice during any given workout- we even had our own designated puke buckets (yes totally unhealthy expectations by todays standards but, hey, it produced results and kept our coaches happy). Anyone who has had a simular athletic background can relate all that previous nonsense does cause wear and tear on the body that I'm definitely feeling in my 30s 🤣🙈. Today most things hurt all the time lol. So I was concerned that having essentially stopped rigorous exercise cold turkey in my 20s and then dealing with injury after injury that I wouldn't be able to get back to doing anything that could challenge me in both a *healthy and productive* manner. Then my husband kept encouraging me to try CCF out as he had been going for well over a year. Finally, one day, I caved and went. First and foremost their coaches are brilliant. They will offer modifications for your fitness journey, your body's ability/range of motion, etc. I mean that! They make coming to class much less intimidating than I could have ever imagined. I've also seen people of all shapes, sizes, athletic abilities completely excel and thrive. Don't psych yourself out thinking you're so out of shape you can't start! I know I did and I'm so glad I'm a few weeks in. I actually look forward to going which is something I havent felt in probably close to a decade. Im already seeing changes mentally and physically and look forward to the future with CCF Less
Great group…emulating the welcoming CrossFit community and culture.
I have never officially experienced CrossFit before. I am long distance runner, Martial Artist, Triathlete.

If you want to get lean, fit and hyper functional in all areas of your physical health .. Catoctin CrossFit is the place. Highly recommended. Less
Friendly and encouraging environment. Always up for working within your limitations. Coach Troy is great!
Coach Zach and Coach Jason have built a committed group of fantastic people who are encouraging to each other. They care for every detail of the class to stretch one's peak performance while having fun!
Great coaches, great workouts, loving this gym!
I joined CCF two weeks ago and it’s been great since day one. Zach, Annalyse, Troy, Jason and Margo were very welcoming. I’ve done different types of high intensity strength and conditioning training along with weight training. Doing CrossFit now is another challenge to learn and keep push myself.

Great place to work out, coaches were awesome and very helpful!
Terrific coaches looking even after me as a total beginner - more support than I could’ve ever asked for! Update 6 weeks into it: wow what a difference it makes already and the community is terrific.

I dropped in for a week that I was out of town and it was a great experience overall. The coaches and members are all very friendly, the facility has all the equipment to do all sorts of variations of WODs. Coaches are very knowledgeable and are constantly giving tips to make sure your form is correct. Every time I’m in town I’ll be coming back.
It is so worth it! New to CrossFit and I must say that the team of coaches at Catoctin CrossFit and its members have made me feel welcomed and supported right away! The workouts are challenging but fun for all levels of experience. As a beginner, the coaches have taken the time to ensure proper form and technique during workouts.
A very welcoming environment- you are encouraged to work at your pace and plenty of accommodations for the level you are at
Such a fun class and great coaching! Thank you! Be back soon 🥰
New here, and sincerely enjoying it! Really appreciate the extra help as I have a lot to learn as far as form and technique. Great culture, coaching, equipment, and group of people. Well worth it!
Great place to start or continue your CrossFit experience! Supportive staff and challenging classes for all ages. Just do it!
Great coaches and a great place to workout!
Positive group that makes working out fun and rewarding. Tends to be pricey but its worth every penny
Top notch all around! Check ‘em out!!!
I had been interested for a few years but was too intimidated, finally I had enough of my lower back/hip tightness, and holding onto baby weight. I went in 7 weeks ago and signed up for 6 mo. I am now going 4-5x/week and I am starting to feel a lot better. I'm making friends and the coaching team has been phenomenal at modify the work outs for me.
I went with my friend and it was a really good experience, the couches were helpful and the workout was great!
Catoctin Crossfit is a top notch facility The staff is attentive, very knowledgeable and fully engaged The other members are supportive and friendly Together this has created a positive and family like atmosphere I feel fortunate to have found this gem in my own back yard
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 👍

It was incredibly helpful that they share their knowledge with someone who knew next to nothing about CrossFit. Clearly the passion of helping individuals achieve their personal goals is engrained within this fantastic CrossFit gym. Zack and his team have built a community while providing white glove service; from coaching the proper form for lifting to making slight alternatives to the workouts to make it more suitable to your fitness level. These small details make this a fantastic gym and community within the Purcellville area! Less
Great gym and a great community to be apart of with some of the best coaches I’ve had.
Best gym near me!
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.

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!
Great!!
Great vibe; attentive, knowledgeable coaches; and spiffy equipment. IL be back next time I'm in the area.
Such a warm and welcoming place. The coaches are kind and meet you exactly where you are to challenge and support you from there!
Great place to workout.
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!
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.

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. Less
Fantastic box with great coaches and a great community! Couldn’t have been happier with our drop in
Great coaches, facility & fellow athletes…
Staff was very friendly and welcoming. The workouts are short but intense, so you’re not wasting any time. Will definitely be coming back!
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!
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!
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.
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.
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.

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!

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!

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.
Amazing community, coach, and welcoming gym! Thanks for having me I'll see you on my next trip!!
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!
Awesome coaching!
No matter your age or current level of fitness, Catoctin CrossFit’s coaches will work with you to help you develop and achieve your fitness goals.
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! :)
Everyone was so welcoming when I came for a visit - coaches and members alike. There were multiple coaches there for a larger class size and I noticed everyone was getting individual attention and coaches throughout the class. Plenty of equipment, friendly members, and great coaches!
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.
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.
Great coaching, Good community, awesome workout!
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!
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!
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
Zach and his team at Catoctin Crossfit are the finest coaches with whom I have ever worked.

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. Less
Great community!
I was looking for a gym in Purcellville, and Catoctin CrossFit was the answer! Whether you’re new to fitness or 10 years in, this place has everything you need to get started, learn safe form and get some results! Best CrossFit gym in Purcellville without a doubt!
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. Less
Visiting from out of town this weekend and dropped in for a workout. Recovering from an injury and Zach fave me some space to work on my own. Great facility and staff. Thanks Zach!
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.
Love the personalized instruction and individual attention from Zach and Jason - esp for a CrossFit newby like me!
If you’re searching for a gym near me in the purcellville area and looking to get in shape with an amazing community and top notch coaching then you should definitely pay a visit to Zach and the team at CrossFit Catoctin. Best gym in Purcellville hands down!
Catoctin CrossFit has a great culture and supportive/knowledgeable training staff. I look forward to more visits to Catoctin when In town!
Fantastic environment, excellent coaching and team building.

Extraordinary leadership team and an absolute family community of fitness. A little over a month in and I can’t imagine my week without Catoctin CrossFit!
Since I can't give this place anymore stars per Google, 5 will have to do. The community, coaches, and workouts are phenomenal.
I’ve been going to Catoctin CrossFit just over a year, and I absolutely love it - A wonderful community with exceptional coaching has me in the best shape of life. I highly recommend this gym - it’s worth every penny.
Super fun and challenging workout! Great way to start the morning with a warm up and a mix of weights and cardio! First time going and I’m sure it won’t be my last!

This is by far the most welcoming of any gym I’ve been to. The coaching is top-notch and the programming is great. Grateful to be apart of a friendly and motivating gym family!

I am the type of person that needs to be held accountable to show up and be pushed once I arrive. Although the workouts are difficult, I always feel amazing afterward. Such a great community of people and the trainers are top notch. Doesn’t matter where you’re starting from, they’ve got you covered. Plus, there is nothing like working out in a group and go through it together. Stop waiting and become mentally and physically fit at Catoctin CrossFit, I promise you’ll love it. Less
Great people. Great facilities. Overall, a great 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.
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.
The staff is very friendly, knowledgeable and caring. You feel right home with everyone the moment your first sessions starts.
Love the program - Great trainers and more important to me - is the great people I've met and "sweat" with.
My husband and I joined Catoctin CrossFit 6 years ago when we moved to Purcellville. We were looking for a new “gym” to get us fit and healthy. What we found was so much more.

The environment and support at CCF is like nothing we’ve ever experienced. We love our gym and our gym family! We would recommend CCF to anyone looking for a gym with a motivating factor, that accountability and a place that will coach YOU based on your body and limitations. ❤️💪🏼 Less

A gym that’s perfect for every age and body type! The coaches here are very concerned with safety and proper form. They push you in a reasonable way, and are always ready to offer a modification to each prescribed movement, should you need one.

2022 Update: Wow. Has it really been seven years or so of doing this??? Some decision you look back and realize: one of the best and most important decisions I've ever made. Walking into Catoctin CrossFit and meeting Zach has been one of those. This place has not only been key to helping bring the "athlete" out in me, but it's the best hour of my week, whenever I am there. Look, the first time you walk in you might see the dim lighting and ask "where are the bells and whistles?" Guess what. As soon as Zach and Troy greet you and talk with you, you'll understand what this place is about. I walked into Catoctin Crossfit after many years of lurking at the gym or running when the weather got nice. I was never really an athlete growing up. My fellow athletes (because hey, that's what you are if you crossfit!) have a positive attitude and encourage me constantly. The classes and the coaches will teach you something new every time you are there...and you know what? You'll have fun! I'm a better person physically and mentally. CrossFit has really made me realize I can meet any challenge. You've got to give this place a chance! Oh. If you have a choice, meet Troy in the afternoon. He's an absolute gem, totally dedicated to his craft and he will completely work with you wherever you are! Zach is the big brain behind the operations and the best program fitness builder in town, hands down. 3:15 is the best class, most fun, and friendliest. Come say hi! Less
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 amazin... More

Coaches are always available and able to provide you the attention and support required to reach your goals. Friendly environment with great people. We are a family at CCF!
Fitness for every level and the best community around. I had my doubts about whether a "crossfit" gym was right for me but Catoctin Crossfit provides a safe and encouraging environment where all the movements are adapted for YOUR level. Almost four years later and I'm so glad I decided to give this gym a try.
Catoctin CrossFit is more than a place to “fitness”; the culture of this community encourages each member to support, guide and motivate each other along their respective fitness journey. It is truly a unique experience and I highly recommend it!
The coaching and the programming are excellent. The community is very friendly and welcoming.
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!!

I just joined Catoctin CrossFit in Purcellville VA this week. I am 3 workouts in and I am excited to have found this place. My goal was to find a gym that would give me cardio and weight training. I have never lifted weights formally but have done cardio at home. Zach and Troy, who coach and own the gym, have worked directly with me this week to get me started. They run group classes with other members several times a day. It is a very welcoming group of people all at various fitness levels. The great thing about this program is you can lift more or go faster if you are more advanced since the workouts are completed individually under a timed circuit. The coaches create and run the workout. They make sure your form is correct, encourage you, play upbeat music and keep the workouts fun and challenging. They always adjust your workout to be less or me depending on your ability level. I am looking forward to becoming stronger and more fit than I have ever been. Thank you Troy and Zach:) Less

Zach, Troy, and Jason are an amazing team. As someone brand new to weight training they have been VERY helpful in giving me the tools and knowledge needed to get started and making me feel comfortable in the work outs and in the community. Never enjoyed working out so much. Very thankful to have found this gem!

I was in Purcellville visiting family and wanted to get a weightlifting workout. I was very appreciative that Catcotin CrossFit was able to accommodate me given that their primary focus is CrossFit. They responded immediately to my voicemail. Coach Zach returned my call and after explaining what I wanted to do he offered me some time frames that I could come in and do my workout while not interfering with any CrossFit workouts going on. Upon arrival he immediately spoke with me; telling me where I could find the equipment I needed (dumbbells, barbell and plates, rack/cage, and incline bench). He was very professional, friendly, and genuinely interested in making sure I could accomplish what I wanted to do. They absolutely have plenty of dumbbells, barbells, benches and racks. Zach also introduced me to a team member and asked him to assist me with any equipment questions. I had a great workout. Lots of good energy in the gym. If I was an out of town CrossFit person I definitely would come to Catoctin CrossFit for a drop-in workout or if I lived near Purcellville and was considering CrossFit I would not hesitate to join Catoctin. It’s a friendly, welcoming place, full of energy, well equipped, with a knowledgeable staff. Hands down a five star establishment Less
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.

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. Less
Dropped in from out of town. Very clean facility, nice equipment. Zach and his staff were very nice and know what they are doing. Been doing CrossFit for 12 years. If I lived here, this would be my gym.
The coaching, the support, the friendships can’t be beat
All of the coaches here are amazing! They made me feel very welcomed and helped me get back into CrossFit in my first few classes with them! I felt comfortable with them almost immediately and all the people that were in the classes with me are all amazing and supportive! Love this place!

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! Less
Great CF box! Awesome staff that are flexible and will work with you to achieve your goals, from military prep to middle age maintenance and improvement.

The coaches at Catoctin CrossFit are the best. They are very knowledgeable. I have been coming to the gym for 6 years now and I am always greeted with a smile. It feels more like a family at Catoctin than a gym.
Catoctin CrossFit has been amazing for my husband and me. We just started a few months ago and I’ve already learned so much. They have incredible coaches, a great schedule with lots of different times offered (which is important for us as two full time working parents with little ones at home), and we’re so grateful we found this gym and community!
No BS workouts that take you to the next level. I was contemplating joining for the longest time, so glad I did!!!
The coaches and community are the best!

Great people and awesome workouts! I have loved every second since I stepped into Catoctin, and I am so thankful to have found such an amazing place!
Always a great atmosphere! I’ve really enjoyed the programming and workouts are always fun, exciting, and challenging no matter what level you are at.
A combination of excellent coaching and facilities with a wonderful community of people of varying levels and abilities make this an ideal place to work on your long term health goals.
The Best CrossFit Gym I have ever been to. I’ve been doing CrossFit for 6 years, and I’ve been to several gym’s, there is no comparison to Catoctin CrossFit. The coaches are elite, the programming is methodical and progressive, and the community they have built is inviting and accepting of all. I would highly recommend this gym to anyone who loves great people, great workouts, and having fun.
Catoctin Crossfit makes fitness fun! I love the community and support from other members and the coaching is terrific. Coach Zach is great! I definitely recommend to anyone looking to make a change and start a healthier lifestyle!
The best kind of boxes are ones with good teachers. This one has the best.

Excellent crossfit gym with friendly and professional staff. A great place to spend the best hour of your day.
Awesome coaching by Zach and Troy. Grateful for the athletes who offer encouragement through your fitness journey.
I've been coming to Catoctin CrossFit ever since it opened. It's challenged me physically and mentally the entire time. Even as I get older, I continue to become stronger than I've ever been in my life.
Today I had my first class at Catoctin CrossFit. Coach Zach and Coach Troy we’re very professional. Everyone was very welcoming and helpful. Everyone in the class was very friendly and made me feel like I had been there for years. It was my first time back in a while and they made it awesome. 100% would recommend.
Unmatched camaraderie produced by shared hardship.

At first people were very rude that we'd come in without calling first, but then loosened up once we explained about having called a number of times. Didn't wind up joining as it was way too expensive for our budget -we purchased 2 memberships at Anytime Fitness for less than what it would cost for just 1 membership here, although their membership fees were in the normal range for joining a CrossFit place, according to my friend who owns a few. (Also can't stand the pretentious way they're called boxes instead of gyms, but that's just me!) Less
It’s a great place! Challenging, different, and community-driven.

My goals are to increase my fitness and continue an active life style as I age. CCF coaching and functional fitness program has enabled me to do just that. I'm currently riding horses, running track meets and even went canyoneering. I sit a lot at work and CCF has really made a difference in how I feel in day to day activities. What sets CCF apart from all other gyms, including crossfit gyms, is our strong supportive community. We all work hard and help each other to do our best no matter what fitness level. Thanks Zach!

Catoctin Crossfit is by far the best gym I’ve ever been a member of. Zach has built an amazing community of people who feel more like family than friends. The coaches are so knowledgeable, always eager to give suggestions on how to improve and modifications if needed. I feel so lucky to be a part of this gym!
I started Catoctin CrossFit 2 years ago and it was the best decision. It has changed my life both mentally and physically. Everyone is so supportive and encouraging, best part of my day!!

You always feel at home, welcomed, and rarely overwhelmed as Zach and his coaches do a fantastic job working with new and veteran athletes.

Each day is new and each athlete is working against the same programming. Simply and amazing experience. Less
The experience of CCF is so very different than a "gym", it really feels more like a team. The moment I finished my very first workout, all of my goals changed.

The experience of CCF is so very different than a "gym", it really feels more like a team. The moment I finished my very first workout, all of my goals changed. Making myself into some narrow idealized body type or dress size was no longer relevant. Now my desires consist of things like pull ups, Olympic lifts and the (recently achieved) box jump. I do think the attitude is infectious and spills over into other parts of your life. If you can accomplish something that you thought was previously impossible in the gym, you can do it elsewhere in your life. And the best part is you are never on your own. You will have a team and a family to back you up and cheer you along the way. Less

I joined Catoctin Crossfit almost 3 years ago after signing my teenagers up. I watched them for a few classes and thought, this looks like fun, I can do this!! I have never regretted my choice to join. Joining CCF gave me a sense of accountability, something I was missing from other gyms and from working out at home. Zach and his team of coaches are amazing! They place importance on excellent form and safety while pushing each member to achieve their individual potential. From day one Zach has encouraged me and had confidence in my abilities even when I didn't. Not only have I had physical gains but I have also learned a lot about nutrition and fitness and misconceptions I've had about what's healthy. I still have a long way to go but I can't imagine not being a member at CCF. When you join CCF you become a member of an incredible community. Members always support each other and encourage each other; it doesn't matter if your the strongest in the gym or it's your first day ever working out. You'll be sore but you will not be disappointed that you joined?? #purcellvillescrossfit #catoctincrossfit Less
Life changing fitness, CrossFits moto. For me, this is the truest statement I’ve ever seen. I walked into the doors of Catoctin CrossFit at rock bottom. I was the heaviest I’d ever been in my life.

Life changing fitness, CrossFits moto. For me, this is the truest statement I’ve ever seen. I walked into the doors of Catoctin CrossFit at rock bottom. I was the heaviest I’d ever been in my life. I Had a hard time climbing a flight of stairs. I Would get exhausted just cleaning my house. I was out of shape, overweight and miserable. Then one August day I walked in the doors of the gym. I met Zach (owner and coach) and other wonderful people. I was scared to death. I was Convinced I was going to get laughed at, teased, waiting to see eyes rolling, whispers-“what’s that fat girl doing in here”. But was I WRONG!! Very, very wrong! I was greeted with warmth and excitement that I was there and quickly learned the amazing support from everyone in the gym! I got hooked!! Today 3 years later, I can run up the steps (carrying a hundred pounds if I need to), cleaning the house—ha! I can do it lighting speed! I’m down 70 lbs, I’m stronger, more confident, healthier than I’ve ever been! But EVEN MORE THAN THAT..... I’ve met the best people I’ve ever met in my life at Catoctin CrossFit! A community of people that are there to help and support you. They have helped me change my life. Break out of that prison I was living in. A prison of an unhealthy, overweight body. I’m free! Is there anything better than that? Less

When I turned 50, I decided I needed to up my workout game. I had always done cardio several times a week and minimal strength training. I felt I needed to work on overall strength, flexibility and cardio to remain healthy and strong as long as possible. My niece and nephew who are an athletic trainer and ex military, respectively told me about crossfit. I was intimidated to try it and scared I could not “keep up” or might injure myself after two knee surgeries. Boy! Am I glad I didn’t listen to my insecurities! Catoctin Crossfit really lives up to it’s motto, “Life Changing Fitness.” I was welcomed into their community from the first day by the wonderul coaches and members. The coaches started me off with workouts that challenged me but that I could actually do. I have built up to doing things I would have never thought possible when I started. For instance, I could barely do a lunge without falling, hurting my knee and only with body weight. Now, 9 months later, I can do many lunges confidently and with low weight. That is just one example. Another bonus, my knees are so much better than they were before due to strengthening of the surrounding muscles. I am stronger and more sure of foot as I engage in my daily activiites whether it is filling up big horse buckets with water and carrying them out to our dogs or running a large load of laundry upstairs. Although I could do those things before, now they are much easier for me. I have always preferred to workout on my own due to schedule and just my overall independent nature. I have a nice home gym and still use it in between workouts at CCF but just know how to use it better. However, I want to tout the benefits of CCF as a fitness community. The coaches and other members are so encouraging and helpful, and it helps you to feel like you can do more than you think you can on your own. It is a “life changing” way to work out. Keep up the great work CCF!! Less
I walked into Catoctin CrossFit 4 months ago as a total newbie, wanting to expand my fitness beyond the at-home kettlebell and HIIT workouts I was doing.

They are patient when it comes to teaching the techniques and they always put safety at the forefront. I love the community atmosphere at the gym and the energy during the workouts. Everyone has been so welcoming and encouraging. CrossFit has been exactly what I needed to take my fitness to the next level. Less
Looked for a gym for 5 years in Purcellville to challenge me. So lucky to have found Catoctin CrossFit!!! Not only challenged me but kicked my butt. I LOVE this gym. CB
Catoctin CrossFit is the best club I have ever been a member of. The club isn’t full of members it is full of family! These people have your back. Zack is the most dedicated and caring coach I have ever worked with and his team of coaches are amazing!
Great community, great coaching and i reccomend to anyone looking for a friendly atmosphere and workouts that push you physically and mentally. I highly recommend!

Moved to Purcellville and needed a gym - found the perfect fit. CCF is like a second family for the majority of its members! Great coaches and a positive supportive attitude from everyone makes the challenging workouts achievable and so worthwhile.
I started at CCF in 2014, with no lifting experience at all. I joined CCF because I was ready for a change in my typical fitness routines that were not working for me.

I started CrossFit at Catoctin CrossFit over 3 years ago and I have not only gained my energy back but I have burned some much needed fat while adding a ton of muscle. Great place to change your life. Great coaches and great people.

Started at Catoctin after moving back to VA from Atlanta where I had dabbled with CrossFit. I emailed Zach about my interest in trying it out and felt like the red carpet was rolled out for me when I went in. I’m used to being good at athletics in general and I was so nervous that I would just suck and embarrass myself. Zach (and everyone else at the gym) were so patient in explaining new movements to me and, when I would do something epically wrong, would coach me specifically on how to improve. I really felt (and still feel) individually important and supported in learning all of these new things. After about 3 months, I’m definitely still learning but it’s no longer daunting to me to try new things that I may not necessarily be “good” at right off of the bat. Physically, I feel stronger than I’ve ever been and my body continues to amaze me with what it can do if I put in the work. Mentally, I feel more positive about my ability to overcome new obstacles and get excited to go to the gym and take care of myself. I’m so grateful for Zach and all of the other trainers and athletes. I love this ridiculous place and everyone in it. Less

I’ve been working out there for the last 3 years until I recently went in the army. Zach’s programming got me in great shape for basic training and I would not hesitate to drop in when I’m back home.
I’ve been working out there for five years. I had to take a break due to work and when I returned it was the greatest welcome ever! The coaching is awesome and the community is great!
Awesome box! Coach Marcus was so welcoming and fun! Loved it!❤️

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. Less
I've been coming to this Crossfit Gym for about 9 Months. Life Changing fitness. I feel great and Zach, Adam, Marcus, and Chuck are outstanding trainers. If you're considering a gym in Western Loudoun County, this is the place for you!
It’s awesome and Zack’s programming is the best 👍
Great instructors. Has been a life changing experience for me.
Drop in from Texas. Awesome group, fun WOD and very welcoming!
Excellent quality coaching and welcoming community. I travel frequently and have dropped in at boxes all over the country. CCF has the feel of your local favorite. I appreciate the personalized coaching and the expertise that is clearly a hallmark of this gym.

I've been coming to Catoctin Crossfit for a little under a year now, and I'm not exaggerating when I say it has changed my life, and will forever be one of the best decisions I've ever made. I've never been able to motivate myself over a long period of time with any kind of gym membership or self guiding. I came in with pretty much zero experience in weight lifting or exercise in general. I was looking to challenge myself and I have not been disappointed. Head Coach Zach and the other assistant coaches like Adam, Chuck, Marcus, and Logan all play their part in making sure you get what you need from each workout and that you are performing each movement safely and effectively. Catoctin Crossfit provides a fantastic emotional atmosphere as well, as the community is so supportive and welcoming. What really locked me in though, and what makes Catoctin Crossfit so special, is Zach (Head Coach). Zach is devoted to his craft and will help you to become the best physical you you can possibly be. He will dedicate himself to your training and will not give up on you but will continue to push you to your limits (safely of course). Catoctin Crossfit has become my home away from home. To anyone looking for a great place to get fit and have fun doing it, look no further. The gym has several class times to fit a myriad of busy schedules and the monthly fee is more than worth it. Workouts are dynamic, fun, challenging, and anything but monotonous. In what feels like a short time that I've been here: my energy is up, my mood is consistently positive, and I'm the most happy and confident with my body than any other time in my life. Go for it, you won't regret it! Less
For all levels, all ages, and all mindsets! A natural high as you take each step to accomplish movements and speed. A pace and goal you choose as your coach guides you to the finish line! Watch the transformation begin and never end.....
I’ve worked out at a lot of gyms in many cities and states, and CCF is by far my favorite. Zach and the coaching staff push us harder than most gyms, and the outcome is rewarding, and truly life-changing fitness. The community of athletes is welcoming, motivated, interesting and just plain fun to hang with!

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been waiting for the next life step to make everything better, to make me happy: college graduation, the first job, the move to a new & exciting city, etc. etc. When these steps didn’t make me instantly happier, I found other ways of coping. Then, I finally decided to invest in myself by workingout at Catoctin CrossFit was truly the only big “life step” that has resulted in a positive change in my life & my happiness. Zach is one of the most kind and compassionate people I have ever met. I injured my back after about 7 months of consistently working out. I remember saying to Zach, "My back hurts so much that I can’t even tie my shoes. How do you expect me to work out?” After doctor appointments and emailing Zach before, during and after each appointment the realization that no help was forthcoming from the medical field. It was time for a call to action. Zach customized my workouts, he would hand me kettle bells, push me to put in extra time to build strength after workouts, he even would get me to go to PT, and give me a hard time to prevent me from skipping any of my appointments. Building strength absolutely did ease the pain at last. Sadly I eneded up moving and have yet to find a Crossfit like Catoctin. I also have never met an individual who is truly dedicated to improving the lives of others. If you have had Zach as a coach his love and passion becomes evident when he is teaching. He goes above and beyond for his clients without even knowing it. Less
Fantastic crossfit, great people, a good time!
Friendly and supportive! A great place for working out.
Zach Thew is an awesome trainer.
Zach is a wonderful trainer ! When you come through the door which is the hardest part ! Zach will work with you on your level no matter what shape you in ! The 7:30am group is great we push each other to be our best ! I am proud to say I'm addicted ! Thanks Zach !

I have been coming to Catoctin CrossFit for 2 years. Zach Thew, owner and trainer is an incredible coach and has provided a great platform to promote better health and wellbeing for the community. Prior to joining the CrossFit family, I was athletic, grew up working out in regular gyms. As I’ve gotten older and moved away from traditional 2-hour gym workouts, I began trying several different programs. Everything from P90X, Insanity to running and biking. I was looking for a program to combine both strength training and cardio that would fit into my daily routine. When I originally heard about CrossFit, I was not a big fan. My initial thoughts were, I will never be a CrossFitter, it’s bad for your body, too many people get hurt, and why are these people so pushy? Flash forward two years. Now I totally get what all the hype is about. The CrossFit community brings people together with a common goal to maximize their health and fitness. It is a phenomenal group of individuals that will motivate and push you to new limits while cheering you on along the way. CrossFitters are not pushy, just really passionate and want to share their accomplishments. I have really enjoyed being invited into the CrossFit family. Whether you are new to working out or a seasoned athlete, give it try, you will be addicted. Less

Each day is new and each athlete is working against the same programming. Simply an amazing experience. Less

And that's great as well. Catoctin has been not just great for my health and fitness, but also a really good way to meet awesome people in the area. Give it a try. You won't regret it. Less

The coaches are knowledgeable and helpful and the other members of Catoctin really motivate and support. The Life Changing Fitness tag line is for real....not only am I very aware of my overall improved fitness and general good mood but everyone I encounter comments on my healthy looking physique and attitude. There is a youthful vibe as there are so many skills I did naturally as a child. I consider myself athletic and enjoy challenges. This is the only "workout" program I have ever enjoyed or stayed with. I make it part of my life wherever I am. I really can't recommend Catoctin Crossfit enough! Less

Catoctin Crossfit has truly changed my life! When I walked in the door 1 year ago I was 65 lbs heavier, completely out of shape and at the heaviest I had ever been in my life. Zach Thew took me in, coached me, introduced me to a community of people that cannot be measured, believed in me and has helped me transform my life. If I could give Catoctin Crossfit 10 stars I would!!
Catoctin Crossfit is an amazing gym. The coaches and members are the most encouraging people I know. Zach is wonderful and it is easy to tell that he LOVES his job. His programming has challenged me both physically and mentally and I'm stronger now in both.

Great comradery and coaches; motivation created without any pressure to do more than you are comfortable with. I started Crossfit with Zach 2.5 years ago and it's one of the top 5 decisions I have made in my life. Life changi... More

Everyone around me has noticed the change as well. I really encourage anyone to give Catoctin Crossfit a try but I found it very important for me that I returned the very next day after my first day..... and I haven't stopped since! Less
Amazing place! This place is for all fitness levels. It is a place where I can feel challenged and invigorated without feeling self conscious. I love the team atmosphere!!
Great place, good people, great trainers. Just starting my journey here but it's been a great experience so far!!
When you hear the name Crossfit, you may assume that this ultra-tough fitness program borders on crazy. I can tell you that, after being inactive for years, joining Catoctin Crossfit has been one of the best things I've done. The combination of a friendly, community atmosphere, great coaching, challenging workouts, and constant progress has been a major change for good for me. I highly recommend ... More
