Crossfit Fairfax has outstanding coaches, all of whom do an excellent job teaching the movements and motivating their clients. They keep people safe while working hard. And the atmosphere at the box is very friendly.

Nice Box!

CF Fairfax (CFFX) history and personality is rooted in the local history and growth of CrossFit in the DC Metro Area. CFFX is well estabilshed, has a large clientale (100+ folks WOD'ing per day). The part I appreciate the most is you'll still see the owner, Jeff Tincher, meticuolsly mother henning around the gym to provide the best experience for his athletes. Some physical trainers coach because they think they have the true religion, want others to be like them, and/or seek attention - the best coach becasue they love helping others improve themselves. Jeff T - is definitely one of those type of coaches and he is passionate about creating opportunity for others and sharing his knowledge to help you succeed. Consequentially, all the CFFX Coaching staff reflects this perspective. Highlights: Approximately 5000 sq ft, 2 x bathrooms, 2 x dressing rooms, liberal warm up area, and the full spectrum of CF gear. Classes are 30mins and arriving 15-mins early to do the prescribed warm-up is highly recommended. This format works great in the DC area with our busy lives and battle w/ Traffic. As a Husband and Father of 3 x midgets - I'm thankful for knowing if I'm late for my targeted WOD, there is another right around the corner. Pricing is extremely competitive in the area. They host an awesome, very professional nutrition challenge periodically (I've experienced some crap ones elsewhere). Finally, Coaching Staff has a good demographic per age, gender, and lifestyles. Programming is always fun and challenging. Culture - well, I believe all parties are a function of what you bring to it - there is a competitive group, hard drinking group, gym socials, and enough room for folks who just want to work out to fit in fine.

My home boxPosted 5 months ago by Justin R.
I did Crossfit workouts from the main site on my own for about 2.5 yrs before I joined Crossfit Fairfax last summer. I learned enough in the geting started class about techiniques and the details that you just don't get on your own and can't evaluate individually. Everything about my fitness has improved ten fold in the past year and a half. Cardio, met-con, strength, mobility, and nutrition. I'm 100 times more healthy and self aware of my own fitness and body than I've ever been in my life. I NEVER could have achieved what I have without this place and most importantly, the people in it. I would recommend this place to anybody!

Great Place
Posted 5 months ago by Jessica D.
The experience at CrossFit Fairfax has been amazing! The trainers and other members of the gym are very welcoming and encouraging to all others that are working out at the same time. The trainers are very knowledgeable and will push you to be better but always take into account proper technique and weight limits to avoid injury. CrossFit Fairfax is a great place and a lot of fun!

Great group of people that overall love the sport of Crossfit. Always friendly faces waiting to kick your ass every day. Crossfit Fairfax promotes a team effort in every WOD you do, with people pushing you to that next weight or one more rep, hard to feel like you are the only one doing the WOD.
Love it!

My home boxPosted 5 months ago by Nada P.
Let me walk you into my box. You walk into a spacious area filled with all kinds of equipment- for all levels of fitness (yes kettle bells and dumbbells 10 -100 pounds). You are immediately greeted by the coach of the day. You look over a large board to see all sorts of information, articles, etc but most importantly the WOD section. This section is divided into three areas: the warm up (designed specifically for the WOD), the actual WOD (with additional details such as alternative weights for those who are not RXing the WOD), and the daily core workout. You do them all! Coaches make sure of that!
When the class starts, the coach explains, demos, and have us athletes, go over the moves. We do that before every WOD, mainly for safety, but also to correct any mistakes we may have. Before we get on the pain train, the coach asks us to go to our station and asks us to repeat the WOD. You may think that is too much babying, but, trust me, there is always one person who needs the information. I love the fact that the coaches know what your PRs are and in doing a WOD, help you chose the right weight. You get this treatment in a one-on-one setting, no where else (xfit Fairfax being the exception).
The bathrooms are ALWAYS clean. The owner is obsessed with their cleanliness. You find sprays, head bands, and other sanitary items one may need. Really a personal touch not matched by any other place I have visited.
Crossfit Fairfax community is tightly knit, you birthday, anniversary, special days, are known by all and are posted on the Crossfit Fiarfax Facebook page. Athletes care because they follow the example of the coaches.
I have been exercising for over 20 years, and I have see a lot of gyms, boxes, this is simply the best. I follow their programming wherever I go, it is outstanding. We do have a WOD wizard!

Great CF!
My home boxPosted 5 months ago by jaimee h.
I have been at CF Fairfax for 1.5 years. One of the best things about this CF is the coaching and the competitive spirit in the gym. After spending time at other CFs, I realized that Fairfax is one of the best!

Great, supportive community
My home boxPosted 5 months ago by Gordon P.
Crossfit Fairfax is a nice facility with plenty of gear, but the key features are the coaches and the community. It is warm and welcoming to new folks, and the coaches rapidly get to know you and your strengthens and weaknesses. You never feel pushed to the point where you might get injured, but the coaches work within your abilities to push you forward at a pace that will likely surprise you. I have worked out at a lot of facilities around the world, and CF Fairfax is the standard I use to compare them all. Simply the best.

The place for everyone
My home boxPosted 5 months ago by Pia W.
I've been coming to CFFX for a year now, and have grown to appreciate the warm community and the excellent, experienced, and varied coaching. It's a place for the hard-core competitor who wants to seriously improve, but also just as much for those of us who are full-time working parents who need to squeeze in a quick WOD (they are on the half hour at the start/end of the day). There's a broad age and skill range of peope, and the coaching is even-handed to all of us.
