Catoctin CrossFit

Recently moved to the area, and I have felt so welcomed by everyone in the community at Catoctin CrossFit! The classes are run efficiently, so you get the most out of your hour; and the coaches are knowledgeable and supportive wherever you’re at on your fitness/recovery journey. Can’t recommend enough!

I recently had the pleasure of participating in a one-on-one fitness and recovery session with Coach Paul, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. As a tactical athlete, my training needs are quite specific, and Coach Paul exceeded all my expectations.

Coach Paul is not only highly knowledgeable but also incredibly attentive and motivating. He tailored the workout specifically for me, ensuring that every exercise was both challenging and relevant to my tactical training goals. His expertise in recovery techniques was evident as he guided me through stretches and exercises that significantly alleviated my muscle tension.

What truly sets Coach Paul apart is his ability to create a positive and supportive environment. He consistently encouraged me, celebrated my progress, and provided invaluable tips for maintaining my fitness routine outside of our sessions.

If you're a tactical athlete looking for a dedicated and skilled fitness coach who genuinely cares about your progress and well-being, I highly recommend Coach Paul. His sessions are transformative and truly a cut above the rest.

This is a great place to come train for all levels, especially for beginners are even those that are just interested in checking it out. Zach, Jason, Jake, and Annalise do a great job working with new members to help them feel comfortable starting up regardless of your experience or fitness level. The class community here is extremely welcoming and supportive. If you’ve ever had any interest or curiosity in trying a CrossFit gym, this is the place for you.

I’ve been at Catoctin CrossFit for almost 2 years now and just as in love with the coaches, community, and gym as when I started. I’ve made so many friends through this awesome place that isn’t just a gym. I’m proud to say this place has made me so strong for someone of my age. I’ve hit so many new PRs in just 2 years. Working out at Catoctin has literally had a domino effect in improving all aspects of my life - professionally and personally. The coaching and community is top notch - as the saying goes, “you get what you pay for.” Catoctin is a quality place and I consider it part of my “health insurance” budget - not a part of my budget I’m willing to cut corners on! I can’t say enough great things - if you join, you’ll be hooked!

This gym has been a growing success story in our small town for over a decade. It has drawn hundreds of members from all walks of life into our vibrant gym community. The coaching, programming and community have been, and remain, stellar. Highly recommend to any and all!

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.

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. I would recommend this to anyone at any fitness level because it is catered to your specific needs by a professional that is really well rounded in wellness knowledge.

Just finished my first month at Catoctin CrossFit and the experience has been transformative, thanks largely to Zach and the coaching team. Their expertise, motivation, and support have not only improved my fitness but also taught me the importance of dedication.

It's clear that progress depends on showing up and giving your all, a valuable lesson that Zach exemplifies in every session. The welcoming atmosphere and the encouraging community have made a significant impact on my journey. Big thanks to Zach and all at Catoctin CrossFit for inspiring me to push further.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Highly recommend Catoctin CrossFit! Everyone was so welcoming. The coaches are super friendly, knowledgeable and the programming is fun!

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 :)

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 😁

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!

Signed up for a trial at Catoctin Crossfit. I was a little hesitant going in because I'm very out shape and thought of crossfit as mostly for hard-core, parkour, American ninja types. 😊 The truth is, it's for everyone! I walked in and there were all ages, all body types and all fitness levels. I've done boot camp and gym memberships in the past, but as soon as I walked in the door at Catoctin Crossfit, I felt welcome and supported. It feels much more like a community than just a gym. 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!

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!

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 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! I recommend this place to anyone, no matter what your goals are, the environment is so motivating and fun to be around! 💪🏽🏋‍♀🤍
