Patriot Crossfit

Great place to start or continue your crossfit journey. All of the coaches, staff and members are down to Earth people which makes Patriot Crossfit awesome place to pursue your fitness goals. Coaches very knowledgeable and patient. Classes throughout the all day and so easy to schedule them and track your attendance through the app they use.

I travel to the DC metro area a couple times per month and have dropped in at a few gyms. Today I dropped into Patriot CrossFit and they were by far the most welcoming of any gym I’ve been to in DC. The coaches were friendly and so were the athletes. Their space was clean and their equipment was in good shape. They also have a/c which was an unexpected but welcomed surprise. I’ll definitely be back here again.

I joined Patriot as my very first Crossfit gym in November 2017. The coaching is top notch, the programming is great, and the community is friendly and motivating. Plenty of friendly competition for those looking to push themselves, but also plenty of scaling options and support for those still developing their abilities. I’m very happy I chose this gym!

I’ve been a member since 2011 and I cant recommend this gym more. It has amazing coaches, dedicated athletes and a supportive community. It’s scalable for everyone and the coaches can work with limitations/injuries. I’ve made lifelong friends from this community and met my husband here. If you are considering a workout check out the free classes- you won’t be disappointed!

I started at PCF ten years ago. I loved the community so much that would commute to Virginia from Delaware to do crossfit on the weekends for over a year. Once I moved here, I became a full time member and couldn’t honestly imagine ever leaving this gym. From the coaches, the community, the support, the athletes, the programming, the equipment...this gym has it all. And let me not forget to mention the child care! I’ve been to a lot of boxes and this is by far the best.

I trained at this gym for almost two years. Near the end of my experience at Patriot Crossfit, I began to see some problems. One of my major complaints is the way the workouts are programed, I saw a lot of people, even coaches themselves get injured due to it; a torn bicep being one of the worse. I also saw many people go to this gym 3-5 times a week, and not even get fit, that would imply they are either 1 not eating correctly and not doing the workouts to the best of their ability, or 2 they were putting out maximum effort and eating correctly, but the workouts were not programmed well; which was causing the athlete to not make gains.There is such a large majority of people at Patriot that haven't made athletic gains, that I can only come to the conclusion the answer is #2. I left this gym and have been working out on my own and seen much greater gains in my performance.

Andrew was incredibly flexible, funny and responsive to our drop in. The floor space was huge, the class was very welcoming and the coach was excellent. If you’re looking for a box, you have to try Patriot. If you’re passing through, great box to drop in.

Do NOT attend this gym if you’re New or interested in CrossFit. The coaching is inadequate and unfavorable to folks who do not already know the movements. I have done CrossFit for six years but my wife is a novice. Part of the appeal of CrossFit is coaches lead every WOD and review proper form and technique. You won’t get that here and I refused to spend over $300/mo so the coaching staff can ignore my wife. We walked out of a 0630 class with 20-25 people and only one coach. The workout involved snatch but there was no review of snatch technique, no scaling options provided, and no coaching for someone who has never done the movement. The excuse given was they were wrapping up the 0530 class. If that’s was the case, then they either need to space the classes farther apart or have more coaches on hand. CrossFit gyms can’t have an attitude that everyone just knows what they’re doing and expect to keep business.

Patriot Crossfit is Amazing! I was a competitive collegiate athlete, and I'm now in the best shape of my life at almost 34 years old thanks to Crossfit. The community is amazing and you can't argue with the results. I also can't say enough about the coaches and leadership at Patriot crossfit, they along with Potomac are one of the most customer friendlt businesses I've ever worked with. I joined sister gym Potomac 3 years and moved to Patriot this summer. Even after several years of crossfittting I am still getting stronger and faster. I can now deadlift 325 lbs started at 135 and can do more pullups than I ever thought was possible. I couldn't do a single pullup when I started crossfit. Why would I ever stop crossfitting?
