I just finished my first month with the personal training at True Core and it is amazing! My schedule has been back and forth the whole time and they always go out of their way to make sure I am getting my sessions in. They check up on me and make sure they are doing everything they can to help me; providing advice, different methods to make myself better, and finding ways to give me the best experience possible. I was nervous going into this program but so far it has been nothing short or spectacular. From the coaches to the other athletes, everyone is super supportive and just happy to be there! 100% would recommend for anyone who wants to improve their health, nutrition, or just overall way of life.

True Core is a clean, professional and well run gym, perfect for youth and adults of all ages. I personally have thrived with TrueCoach their virtual coaching app, which allows me to workout in my home/garage with the equipment I have and still achieve results. I also signed up for their Nutrition Challenge which changed the way I eat, sleep, and feel overall. True Core provides a variety of solutions and listens to what works best for their clients. All of the coaches are professional and knowledgeable trainers. I highly recommend contacting True Core to find the right fitness solution for you to feel, look and be better overall!

This is the most fun working out that I have ever had. Even if you are new to exercise of any kind, you will find a tribe of supportive, kind and knowledgeable people here. I consider this my group personal training center. Also, after so many decades of trying to run my way to the body of my dreams, I have found that lifting weights really is the answer. Couldnt recommend this gym more highly.

I visited as a drop in from Philly and immediately felt welcomed. Coach was excellent and clear in explanations. WOD was challenging and just what I needed. Awesome gym and I will definitely drop in again when visiting Annapolis.

I love this place! It is my happy space! I have been to a lot of crossfit gyms and True Core is the absolute best! From day one everyone is so welcoming, the community is fantastic and the coaches are wonderful and have tons of knowledge. You will never feel judged and you never will feel like you are not good enough to come back. There is a place for everyone at True Core!

The coaches here at True Core are excellent! They truly care about your health goals and respect your limits all while providing top notch coaching advice — fitness and nutrition.I was super impressed with how they handled things during the hype of the pandemic. Allowing members to sign out equipment for home use to go along with virtual workouts was a bonus. In the middle of the pandemic I learned I was pregnant. The coaches have made an effort to ensure that I could still train virtually (personal preference) even when in person training returned.I’m so appreciative of the communication and dedication all around. Thank you True Core!

Great group of people to work with at True Core. Very attentive to clients and their needs. During COVID, they lent out equipment, had trainers checking in every day with clients, programming specifically based on their needs. Just outstanding people and a great box. Love it.

I highly recommend True Core to anyone seeking to better their mental and physical health. My girlfriend is a frequent member of True Core and I have always gone to the events with her. True Core has a community that is very positive and welcoming to everyone. They will go above and beyond to help you. They truly care about their members and have a staff of some of the greatest people I have ever met. Whether you intend to go every day or you can only make it once or twice a week, True Core has a schedule and a plan that will fit your life. And the benefits far outweigh the costs! True Core will change your life! I see it every day in my girlfriend!

I moved here almost a year ago, and TrueCore has been the #1 reason Ive enjoyed living in Annapolis so much. Everyone at that gym welcomes you with open arms and cheers you on throughout a very brutal and rewarding workout. I have seen more progress with this gym than any other gym ive gone to. The coaches are extremely knowledgeable and personable and are great about coaching individually throughout a class session. I love this should and couldnt recommend it enough!!!

An amazing community and facility with great coaches. From CrossFit to powerlifting and weightlifting to team conditioning, True Core offers a non-judgmental, positive environment for all levels of fitness. Coaches are top-notch and prioritize quality and safety. Ive learned so much, gotten a lot stronger and met a lot of wonderful friends. Its so much more than a gym!

True Core is a box you dont realize you want to be a part of until you join.I initially joined to continue my nascent journey with CrossFit after moving to Annapolis. Id only been introduced to CrossFit workouts a year prior and wanted to continue, but I was also aware I needed to find the right box or Id likely lose interest and rejoin the typical globo gym. After an introductory workout and meeting a few of the staff and members, I knew I found my Annapolis CrossFit home and I joined before walking out the front door! The camaraderie among members during the workout, the coachs attention to everyone and constant encouragement were what I learned to expect at any box, but it just struck me a bit different here.Fast forward three years and Im more excited to be a part of True Core each day! The owner, Shannon, and her staff foster an incredibly supportive, inclusive and friendly environment. They take great care to teach proper technique while scaling workouts to suit each members ability and still challenge us to push ourselves both inside and outside the box. And the wonderful environment theyve created draws terrific people!True Core is more than a CrossFit box, its a community!

True Core is a great choice for anyone looking for a supportive, effective workout environment. The owner and staff are top notch. Even during Covid, all procedures and accomodations have had the clients well being and safety foremost, while still maintaining excellent coaching and continued and varied means of achieving fitness goals for each client. An A+ business in every way

Shannon and her team at TrueCore are the best! With the support of our GM, they came in and did a Lifestyle Challenge with a group of us at my work. This program offered nutrition and fitness coaching and as well as a body scan to track your progress. The program was very easy to follow and what I liked best is that Coach Karen provided a lot of tips that helped you focus on making small changes overall to your nutrition so that you are not depriving yourself and then Coach Ryan was great with adding support and workout instruction to get you active. Seeing the results from the scan in terms of fat loss and muscle gain was very motivating and exciting! If you are thinking about doing a Lifestyle Challenge with your organization, joining the gym, or doing personal training at TrueCore DO NOT HESITATE. They will make you feel like family and truly want to help you become the best and healthiest you!

TrueCore absolutely changed my life!I had never had a gym membership before and actually started here to help my mental health situation. 3 years later my mental and physical well being are a complete 180 from when I started. The coaches are friendly, knowledgeable and have tremendous patience for newcomers like myself. Please do yourself a favor and give it a try! You won’t regret it.

True Core is a great crossfit gym for all fitness levels! They have a clean, pet & kid friendly, open facility with lofted ceilings and updated equipment. True Core is diverse and inclusive... with members who are beginners & advanced, and represent all age groups and different backgrounds. Everyone is super friendly and welcoming. True Core keeps you connected through educational and motivational emails, Facebook conversations, Insta videos, and social activities. The owner and coaches are highly committed to helping members achieve their goals, no matter how big or small. They also offer a nutrition program (for an additional cost) which resulted in me personally losing 10lbs in 4 weeks. If you’re looking for a crossfit gym where you can be your authentic yourself, have fun, get results, and be part of a gym family in the Annapolis community, True Core is the place for you!

True Core is AMAZING! I’m 51yo with very little history in my life of working out. I had a hernia prior to covid and through covid. After finally having surgery, then healing, I had gained 45lbs. True Core has been so uplifting, positive, motivating but for me, most importantly, patient and understanding. Shannon the owner is incredible. Karen my PT is absolutely incredible. My opinion... if you have fear about “Cross Fit” try True Core!

I’ve been a TrueCore member for several years and can’t say enough good things about it! The coaches and staff are incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, the facility is immaculate and the programming will take your fitness to the next level (regardless of where you start from). Beyond the daily WODs, they have a lot to offer with teen/kids classes, nutrition programs and events that support our community.... Lots to love about TrueCore, check it out for yourself!

In town for a quick trip, so I dropped in to the 12:15pm class on a Wednesday, and expectations were exceeded. The space is incredible - very clean, stocked with all equipment, big garage doors (which I love!), and a strong sense of community (a CF must). Coach Melissa rocked it! She was super welcoming, attentive to all athletes, and informative throughout the warm-up, strength, WOD, and cool down. I loved my experience. True Core knows what’s up! I hope to back soon.

I found myself in and out of globo gyms for years and could never figure out why I could never stay consistent. I would buy a membership then months later I was continuing the vicious cycle of canceling after only sticking with it for a short period of time. Also, I didnt have many people in my circle who were maintaining an all around healthy lifestyle so it was easy for me to not think about nutrition and exercising routinely. Lastly, I struggled with not being challenged. I have always been an athlete, so here I am going through life feeling like I was missing something major, which was channeling my competitive drive in a healthy way.Solving these problems wasnt as difficult because the community at True Core felt like home, I wanted to be there and learn as much as possible. Now, dont get me wrong, learning the fundamental movements of Crossfit was extremely frustrating. I wanted to be further than I was, to be able to throw down like how I saw other people throwing down. It was hard when I compared myself to the members who have been putting in the work for years. I couldnt help it at first, but the coaches reminded me that I just need to continue to show up and put in the repetitions and that takes time. Thank goodness for that reminder.The difference this time is that I have a community at True Core. All those past gym memberships never provided me the space to have that. From that I have accountability because I now surround myself with people who train to better themselves, so if Im not at the gym for a week, you better believe I am going to be getting texts or calls asking where Ive been. What is also different is that I am being challenged on a daily basis to better improve my funcional fitness through a variety of movements that allows me to channel that competitive nature that resides in me. I feel like a kid again going into the gym wondering what kind of equipment the wod calls for that day. I am different. I see that. Others see it. My mind is much stronger, I have a more playful spirit about me because of the empowerment I receive from getting through some really challenging workouts and lifts time after time. I have my people at True Core who push me to be a better person and athlete, I would not work as hard if I didnt have a squad of people working out next to me.My motivation and drive have been stronger than ever, I started doing competitions recently and learned so much about myself through that process. Physically I feel so much better, I have more energy and I feel strong, like I could hold my own if anybody tried to mess with me =).My life has improved dramatically since I decided to take my fitness journey seriously. I have a solid routine that I follow to the best of my ability which helps keep my life at somewhat of a balance. From that discipline, other areas of my life have had no choice but to follow suit. I show up as a better me for my wife, my work, my dogs, my family and most importantly myself. Getting through those spicy wods translates into my outside world, when my mind tells me to quit I do the opposite and keep chipping away. Okay, not always but you get the point. What I do in the box, helps what I do outside the box. My life is better no doubt. I am forever grateful for the community at True Core, heres to more sweat, fist bumps and awful noises whilst trudging through a grueling wod.

Great place to test your fitness or to just get started. I was never a gym rat or liked working out much but some how CrossFit at Old Bay doesnt make me feel like its work. Great community of athletes and motivating coaches. Ownership takes great pride in keeping a very clean space and continually adding and upgrading equipment.

Joined last year. Every class I attended I got individual attention. Class sizes were small, and theres a huge focus on recovery and warming up which is great. I left at the end of the year after prices were raised by 1/3 with a 2 week warning. I was disappointed to leave but my family plan went from 235/mo to 400/mo for 2

Ive been a member here for about a month now and really love it. Ive visited ~5 other Crossfit gyms (from moving/ traveling etc) and the quality of the instruction at this one was by far better than the others. Really supportive/ knowledgeable coaches and very nice members!

Since joining True Core a year ago, Ive made more gains than in the previous 3 years. The community has been great for my family and we have fun whenever we go. Everyone is always welcome; young, old, fit and just beginning; everyone can find a place here.

As a very gym shy person, everyone has been very welcoming and helpful. I joined specifically for powerlifting, so I cant speak to the actual CrossFit classes, but everyone seems to enjoy the workouts, and they offer day care, and CrossFit for teens and kids, as well as the powerlifting and Olympic lifting. So far Im really enjoying it!

I had a fantastic experience at True Core crossfit. The coaches were friendly, the workouts intense, and the community welcoming.I spent a lot of time with Coach Burns doing the olympic lifting classes. I highly recommend them to everyone. I recently moved out of state and joined a gym with a little more emphasis on that kind of training. The coaches are very happy about how easy True Core has made their job. I cant think of any higher praise than that!
