Odin CrossFit

Thank you to the Odin coaches and community for helping me rediscover my strength and love of fitness! After back to back pregnancies, I struggled to get back into physical activity and a consistent fitness regimen. Since joining Odin, I have found that spark again! As a stay at home parent, I finally have a place to do something positive for MYSELF- where I am challenged, motivated and always feel welcome. The community and atmosphere at Odin are unlike any gym I have ever encountered (I used to be in the industry). Coming here really is the best hour of my day, and I am truly a better mom for it! I love the connections, progress and confidence I have gained since joining 6 months ago and can't wait to see where I am years from now!!

I’m not exaggerating when I say Odin has transformed my life. As someone who used to be an athlete, but had been dealing with illness and a resulting sedentary lifestyle, Odin gave me back that sense of camaraderie and challenge that I used to only feel in sports. My weight and my limitations did not dissuade the coaches, and scaling option by scaling option I’m finding my strength again. The uplifting and kind members, inspiring coaches and positive vibes keep me going and encourage me to keep striving for better!

Odin CrossFit is not just a gym, it is a community and a family. I stepped foot in here early 2022 not knowing what to expect. As a former collegiate athlete, I was looking to try something new that would challenge me but also help me get that community/team aspect back in my life. The coaches care, they push you to become better and they encourage you when times get tough during workouts. Over a year and half in, I made the best decision coming to Odin as I have made friends for life but also elevated my performance. Odin has truly blessed me with the ability to become a new person, gain confidence in myself, and be open to learning more about the sport as I continue to grow. HUMBLE, HAPPY, HEALTHY, Odin truly embodies all three principles!

Where to begin? I am so grateful that Courtney and Molly walked into my work one day. It led me to Odin and it has completely changed my life! Right from the beginning it has been nothing short from amazing. The coaches and classmates are always there to support and cheer you on. I was able to convince my boyfriend to give it a shot, and Odin quickly became our happy place. I have been with Odin for several months now and I have made so many wonderful friends along the way! Whether it is to motivate me or encourage me to do my best. Odin has pushed me to try “hard things” and step out of my comfort zone. In this short time I feel that I have already accomplished so much! I am so thankful to be apart of this great community.

My wife and I had the pleasure of visiting CrossFit Odin on Friday, 10/27/23, and our experience was nothing short of fantastic. From the moment we stepped into the gym, it was clear that this was a special place.

First and foremost, the cleanliness of the equipment stood out. A clean gym is a must, and CrossFit Odin exceeded our expectations in this regard. The attention to hygiene and maintenance was evident, ensuring a safe and enjoyable workout environment.

The coaching was another highlight of our visit. The coach was not only knowledgeable but also incredibly supportive. They took the time to guide us through the workouts, making sure we had proper form and were pushing ourselves to the best of our abilities. It was evident that they were passionate about what they do, which was both motivating and reassuring.

What truly made our experience memorable was the welcoming atmosphere. Everyone, from fellow gym-goers to the staff, was friendly and approachable. We felt right at home, as if we had been a part of the CrossFit Odin community for years. This sense of camaraderie and inclusivity is something that sets this gym apart.

In summary, our visit to CrossFit Odin was a fantastic experience. Clean equipment, top-notch coaching, and a friendly, welcoming environment make it a gym we're excited to be a part of. If you're looking for a place that's more than just a gym but a fitness family, CrossFit Odin should be at the top of your list. We can't wait to go back for our next workout!

Joining Odin has been the best decision for my fitness goals. The members are welcoming and fun, the coaches are knowledgeable, and the workouts/ programming is amazing. The class schedules are flexible and I look forward to going and pushing myself to be best version of me! Whether you are a seasoned crossfitter, or just getting started, Odin is the perfect place to help you reach and exceed your goals!

I've been going to Odin for 15 months. This has been the most fun and most challenging thing I've done since I was an athlete in high school and college. My brain loves the variety of CrossFit workouts and the group atmosphere. I know CrossFit has a reputation for being intense, but the coaching at Odin is top notch. They make everything so scalable for every level of fitness. And they focus on correct movements for every skill. I've learned how to lift weights properly. I have seen such big improvements in my strength and flexibility in just 3x a week! I can't wait to see where I'll be in a year, or 5, or more.

I embarked on my fitness journey at Odin CrossFit three months ago, and the results have been nothing short of phenomenal. From day one, I felt welcomed and supported by the incredible community that calls this gym home. The coaches at Odin CrossFit are true professionals. Their expertise and dedication to their craft are evident in every session. I've seen remarkable progress in my strength and endurance thanks to their tailored approach. The facility itself is outstanding. It's well-equipped with top-of-the-line gear, and it's always impeccably clean and organized.

For one who is by no means a "gym rat" or particularly fit, Odin has been a very friendly, welcoming and supportive group of coaches and members! I was a little intimidated by my relative level of fitness, but it has been great to push myself. And I actually don't dread going like I have always dreaded the regular old gym.

I’ve been working out at various gyms in the area for the last 11 years. Odin is by far my favorite, and close to my house now that I get to work from home. It is such a great place to hang out with friends and family. And also great way to stay in shape and stay young forever. Hats off to their staff in the way they engage people’s interest, motivation, and energy.

I recently joined this Odin CrossFit gym, and it has been an incredible experience so far. The sense of community here is amazing, and what I love the most is how welcomed I feel. Despite being a newcomer, I never feel out of place; I genuinely feel like I belong here. The support and camaraderie of the members make every workout enjoyable. I'm loving it!

I started working out at Odin a few months ago when I moved to the area and it was the best decision! Not only are the coaches amazing, but the sense of community is unlike any other gym I’ve been to.

I spent a week at CrossFit Odin as I was in town visiting a friend. I cannot recommend this box highly enough! In just a week, I got to work with four different instructors and each was great in their own way. Excellent facilities, and more importantly, wonderful vibes. If you're in the area, give it a try!

I cannot say enough to express how much I love being a part of Odin! I started out timid and thinking that CrossFit wasn’t going to be a good fit and I am so happy I gave it a try and that I was wrong. I’ve felt welcome and part of the Odin family from the first Roots class with Coach Allison to the workout this morning with Coach Molly cheering us on the whole time. It is hard work everyday but Odin makes doing the work fun!

I moved to Frederick a year and a half ago after a very very challenging couple of years and coming to Frederick (and joining Odin) was one of the best things that I did for myself and for my well-being. Their coaching is incredible - thoughtful, kind, tailored to every individual, encouraging and energetic. I never felt embarrassed or uncomfortable with my newbie status because everyone is just so up-lifting and kind (and also silly). The talent of the coaches is unparalleled - which is something I’m learning quickly as I shop around for a new gym. I can tell you that the difference is stark. I know every gym has to start somewhere - so I’m hopeful the gyms around me will work their way up to Odin magic.

This has been my 3rd crossfit gym (due to moves, no disrespect to my prior gyms!), so I'll say a few things in no particular order that really stood out to me as special to Odin.
1. Top tier swag -- I'm trying not to buy _all_ of it.
2. Incredibly welcoming community & staff -- I think every single time I've had a coach I haven't seen yet they've introduced themselves to me, which is huge for me as I find socialization challenging post-2020 lol
3. All equipment is in top shape. May seem small but this makes a big difference
4. Constant effort to keep the community/members engaged, whether through special event workouts, parties/gatherings, etc -- I feel like this is a really hard thing to do, and the staff really puts in a ton of effort to pull this off -- There's always _something_ going on, and by all means you don't need to partake in all of it but I really appreciate the options being available
5. five star gym next to a five star coffee shop (Gravel & Grind) -- I don't know to what extent this was intentional or I can give credit to Odin for this, but it does come as a tremendous benefit as a member.
6. Inclusive -- Specific example, acknowleging and celebrating Pride Month through a specific workout.
7. Great coaching and structure -- I appreciate that for every workout we carefully go over how to properly execute the movement, we do warmups that prep our bodies for these movements, and the coaches offer scaling options that will eventually push us towards being able to do the "full" versions without getting stuck forever.

Bonus shoutout to Molly who fielded like some 15 questions from me in my first month here and was super helpful in getting me onboarded

I could say more, but gotta wrap it up at some point -- TLDR, I enjoy being here, feel good when i come here and have no intention of not continuing to come here. Feels good for my body health and mind health. <3

My CrossFit experience at Odin has been filled with encouragement from amazing coaches, intense and challenging (but doable and scalable!) workouts and a supportive community of members that are at the heart of all they do!

if you’re looking for a welcoming, fun and community centered environment, this is it. everyone here enjoys fitness with friends without taking themselves too seriously, and every coach adds to the atmosphere. fantastic place to workout.

The coaching staff is outstanding. They're personable, skilled and knowledgeable. I love that each WOD is a quality workout with a clear purpose. The entire community is very welcoming and encouraging. Odin is truly a one of kind box!

Just started this will be second week and it is definitely going to get me in shape. It is a great atmosphere. Very helpful staff, patient with newbies like me who have never done CrossFit before. Open 7 days a week which is a plus for when the week is busy.
