I've been doing CrossFit for almost 3 years and recently made the decision to switch boxes; it was…read moregetting difficult to make my way into the city to work out every morning, and with my better half in law school every night, I needed a bit more flexibility in my life. CrossFit Catonsville is very close to home, they have a great class schedule (especially for a smaller gym), and kickboxing and yoga are included in their membership! Chris, the owner and head coach, is awesome; I find that his style of coaching is very focused on technique and he has lots of suggestions on how to scale WODs with the goal of getting stronger, not just finishing a workout. I've already PR'd on several lifts in the past month at CFC. Eric and Susan are also fantastic coaches, and I've really benefitted from some of the pointers and suggestions they have made. As anyone who does CrossFit will tell you, the community aspect is what keeps folks coming back for more. The people here are AMAZING and friendly, and I have felt so welcome from the beginning. This is a great box for people who have been doing CrossFit for a while, and an excellent box for beginners. The prices are really fair, and, as previously mentioned, you have a few other options for how to get a good workout in with kickboxing and yoga!

I want to express my frustration with my experience at this establishment, particularly with Mr…read more Harris (or Mr. Harrison). He didn't clearly explain the contract terms, which is essential. I called on July 15 to discuss my family's in-progress move and was only able to schedule an appointment for July 23. During our meeting, I wanted to cancel the contract, but he said I must keep making payments until August, even though an extra fee was charged to my account right after signing. We're moving away, making it impractical to attend classes, yet they insist my child participate in a promotion ceremony on August 23 and that I can only withdraw after that. It's frustrating because my child isn't receiving proper instruction; although we have videos proving he isn't engaged, the instructor claims otherwise. This program seems more focused on profits than education, and I'm left confused about how to end this situation, especially with concerns about potential charges for August, September, and the mystery additional charge already taken.

The staff and practitioners outside of one person were great, but that one ruined my experience. I…read morehave 8+ years of grappling experience(mostly in collegiate wrestling). I had taken 2 years off from grappling and decided this would be a great place to try to do something I used to love. I did their 10-day trial and had an amazing time with instructors and students alike. Got to roll with their more experienced students. Pretty much got my ass kicked for 8 days, but it was great. I went in on my 9th day with the mindset that I would do something new. Instead of just going hard and trying to win, just survive and try to use what I am good at so that I can do better than just lying as flat as possible for 3 minutes. Insert the head instructor/gear/owner of the gym. He had been sick. First, we talked privately about my training and all seemed well. Then he allowed me to enter his more advanced class. I roll with someone of his choosing(who I had rolled with before, so we had a bit of an understanding of how the other person rolls). Immediately, we both stood up and I got to work wrestling. We go to the mat off of a botched takedown from me(just a bad single leg, we both fell). Afterwards, the head instructor called me over and proceeded to talk to me, telling me I needed to slow down(hard to hit a takedown if you're taking shots at a snail's pace and I had already slowed down the speed of my takedowns because I'm not going to try to slam someone or run them off the mat, saftey first) and as another student passed and gave me a compliment the instructor said and I qoute,"alright relax, I'm trying to bring his ego down a little bit". I was then no longer allowed to roll(nothing from the roll should have indicated that I was allowed to. I had trained with them for 8 days and received no complaints and talked to multiple students and instructors about their mat rules and courtesies). I asked him about what I was doing wrong and before I could finish explaining that I just wanted to learn more, then lying on my stomach and getting destroyed, he cut me off and said,"because you're just trying to win". I got my ass kicked for 8 days straight and allowed everyone to work their submissions and guards on me. I'm good at standing and I was punished for even attempting to use what I'm good at. Alaways suck at new things and to be told by students and other instructors that I'm doing fine and that I'm a great addition, then turned away by the head instructor really sucked. Especially if you're going to pay 200+ for their service. Hopefully, this is a one-time experience and everyone else has a wonderful time because EVERYONE else was a joy.
