I don’t even know where to begin. Brian and Marina are an amazing part of so many of our lives. The experience at Cove is hard to describe. They treat you like family and celebrate your success. This is so much more than a place to workout. The time at the Cove is the best part of the day. The fitness is amazing and the social emotional aspect of the Cove has to be experienced first hand. No matter where life takes you Brian and Marina always remind you that you are family.

Cove was my fitness home for 4 years and I could not have asked for a better experience! The coaches are attentive and kind, the atmosphere is welcoming to people with all fitness backgrounds, and facility is impeccable. Cove helped me build a sense of community in HoCo and saw me through some exciting physical and personal transformation. If youre looking for great people, hard workouts, and lots of fun, this is the place.

First and foremost, the Cove is not just a gym, its a second home. No matter what your age, gender, color, or fitness background is - once you step into the Cove, you become family. No matter where you go in life or how far away you move, you are always welcomed back.I spent three years at the Cove and this community has given me so many amazing memories, lifelong friends, new skills and gains, confidence in myself, and so many laughs and smiles. I cant thank the owners, Marina and Brian, enough for bringing me in and changing my perspective on fitness and community. The owners, the coaches, and the athletes are the kindest, most inclusive, most motivating people I know and theyve created this amazing space where people can LITERALLY have the best part of their day. If I could give this review 100 stars I would. #NoPlaceLikeCove

I recently moved to the Columbia area and I was looking for a new gym to join. I decided to give Cove Fitness a try and I absolutely love it. I had some CrossFit experience, but the coaches still help me work on my form and are always giving me tips and advice for improvement. My very first day at Cove, Brian (owner) started recording me so I could see what my form/technique looked like. Everyone is very welcoming and invited me right in. Coaches and athletes are all very supportive of one another. The gym is very large and spacious and VERY clean and organized. As a new member, I have never had any issues finding equipment, since everything is so organized and labeled. Every Friday is a partner workout, which has been a great way to meet some of the other members. Programming has been great and I really love how the classes are run. Joining Cove Fitness has been a great decision and I am so glad I found a new gym! There’s no place like Cove.

What a great gym, with a great culture! So many good people, great programming! Absolutely love this place!

I can say nothing but fantastic things about Crossfit Cove. Brian and Marina have done a fantastic job in creating a welcoming community, coupled with its outstanding programming. I was so glad to call this gym home for 4 years, it’ll be truly missed.

What make Cove so great are the community, the coaches/ the owners, the large space, the equipment, and the programming....so basically everything you want in an ideal gym. Cove has always been a place I can go back to. It has changed my life dramatically not only in the fitness realm, but also helped me to break out of my shell and be more socialable than I every thought I could be. From day one, the coaches teach you how to perform the movements safely and effectively. They push you when you need to, and provide scaling options for all fitness levels. The environment is extremely welcoming, and family friendly. Overall, highly recommend Cove for anyone on the fence about starting crossfit to someone who just wants to get in a good sweat to the most experienced athletes who have been in the sport for years. I cant thank the owners (Brian/ Marina), the coaches, and the community enough for how much they have enhanced my overall gym and life experience.

Cove gives the best experience! They are professional, helpful, and kind. Being at Cove is being part of a family. I’m in the best shape of my life from being at cove. All the coaches are so knowledgeable and always willing to help. They help with nutrition too. It really is the best part of the day.

The coaches are amazing and really care about your overall health. The community is so supportive and fun. I’ve achieved things here I never thought I could do and had fun doing it.

This gym is one of the best. I am the new Massage therapist here and I love it. I have worked with countless gyms all over Md and this is one of the best gyms I’ve seen. They clean daily. The people are PHENOMENAL and the owners are really passionate about what they have built.Thank you to Cove for bringing me into such a great place!

I started my crossfit journey here back in 2016 and I’m so glad that I did. Not only did I fall in love with the sport, but I found a community and coaches that helped me get better every single day. You will not find a more inclusive community and box owners that truly care about each and every athlete. Coaches are very knowledgeable and personable. If I didn’t have to move, I would’ve stayed. Now I’m using all the skills I’ve learned from great coaching and coaching at another box myself. This is the best crossfit gym out there!

I had such an amazing experience at Crossfit Cove! The owner and coaches are so down to earth and welcoming. Wods were so much fun, the box is so beautiful and HUGE!! I truly felt at home and cant wait to visit again.

Love this place. After 3 year hiatus back into Crossfit. Owners and coaches are great. Very helpful and understands your needs.

Just started working out at gym and the owners and coaching staff are excellent. Definitely going to attend classes more often. Very friendly people.

This is an amazing gym. The staff are wonderful and everyone is so nice. The gym is always kept tidy and clean and large classes dont feel too cramped. The workouts are challenging (of course thats a good thing) but the coaches are always there to help and stay encouraging even when you need to scale down.

Amazing community and coaches ! Very welcoming athletes. The programming is very good with long term goals. Nice facility.

I was here for the week of 11/06 through 11/10/2017. I had looked at several other CF boxes in the area, as there are quite a few. When I called Crossfit Cove, Brian answered the phone. I asked about a week long drop in fee, and he told me how much and said that they would love to have me here for the week.What an AWESOME experience!! EVERYONE i met there, from the owners to the coaches to the athletes were SO nice and SO welcoming. Even when they found out I was not going to be a new member, but merely a visitor, they treated me like I was a full member and were just as open and encouraging as they were with each other.I thoroughly enjoyed my time working out with all of you, and I will recommend this gym to everyone I know. Great job, keep up what you are doing!! It really works!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for an AWESOME experience! I cant wait to come back and see yall again.

The best place on Earth.

The owners of Crossfit Cove are fantastic. They live in my neighborhood and this past summer and fall offered to introduce Crossfit to us. A group of us spent those few months doing classes in a common area up to three times a week. They were great at teaching us the movements, getting us in shape and it didn’t matter is you were familiar with Crossfit, in good shape, or just getting back into exercise after a long time away. I highly recommend Crossfit Cove.

The Cove is an amazing box with a strong sense of community. Ive been going here for about 6 months now and the two co-owners, husband and wife, welcomed my wife and I (as they do all their athletes) with a very genuine enthusiasm. Ive never been to a gym quite like this one. No wonder they were awarded Best Crossfit in Howard county; they deserve the recognition. Great coaching, diverse programming, and high quality equipment.

I dropped in this week during my work travels and immediately felt welcome as part of the family and community at the Cove. The facility is clean, big and plenty of equipment, even had a playroom for kids!I travel for work and see a lot of different crossfit gyms and this one is exceptional! Good luck!

I showed up for the 630 PM class during a travel trip to the DC area. I was ready to pay the $20 drop in rate but was surprised to learn that first visits were free. John was our instructor who was patient and clear in the scope of the workout (1600, 800, 400 meter intervals with o/h squats, jump rope, etc in between runs). There were roughly 25 or so in the class with the typical cross between those looking to get fit, and those with superhero/crush-a-walnut-in-my-palm physiques. THose I spoke with were welcoming and supportive. I liked the roughly 25 minutes of pure warm up/overview and 30 minutes or so of hard work-modifications were certainly allowed if not encouraged without a hint of judgement. I would go here again and certainly will next time Im in the area. If I lived in the area, I would likely make this my regular gym; monthly rate seemed reasonable given the DC area.

I have been training under the coaching of Crossfit Cove owners, Marina and Brian Anglim and their coaches for eight months. They individualize workouts for me and have been encouraging me every step of the way in my journey to health and wellness. They have even motivated my tween daughter to start a healthy fitness and nutrition routine. Crossfit Cove is family friendly and for all shapes, ages, and abilities! I highly recommend the gym and the coaches without hesitation!

I had the good fortune to drop in here for 3 days. Great coaching, great atmosphere, great people. Keep it up!

Came up to Columbia for business last week. Brian and the Cove team had me in for a dropin workout. Im dealing with a torn meniscus and they helped scale the workout so i could get a great sweat in while on the road. Facility is awesome and the coaches welcoming. Ill be back next time im in town (hopefully less injured next time).

One of my favorite places. Owners care about their members and foster a true community where all are welcomed!

I had never taken a crossfit class before and Brian and Marina were great! They are all about form and making sure you get the most out of your workout. If youre looking for a new gym I highly recommend checking them out. Also, the facility is beyond AMAZING!!!!

My experience at Columbia CrossFit Cove was fantastic! The instructors/owners were welcoming, knowledgeable, and perhaps most importantly, extremely motivating and encouraging. They were happy to work with people of all fitness levels, and help modify the workout to best fit each participant. The gym and the equipment were very well taken care of and you can certainly tell what pride the owners take in the space.

I love how Marina and Brian made the workout into a game. It was tough and really fun at the same time! Great job!

Dropped in for a class with my brother over the holiday and had a blast. I had never done crossfit before, but wanted to give it a try. Owner was very welcoming and took the time to chat with me for a few minutes before class. Trainers are not only knowledgeable, but with small group classes they are able to give individual attention to anyone needing assistance with complex movements. Id recommend to someone new to fitness or advanced crossfit athletes. Looking forward to going back on my next visit.

I participated in the outdoor cross fit program that Brian and Marina Anglim put on this summer. I was an athlete in high school, played on club teams in college and have always worked out in gyms, run, do insanity and thought I was in shape until I did cross fit. It challenged me in ways that all the other activities failed to do and I liked the comradery that cross fit also brought to the workout. Brian and Marina were knowledgeable and able to scale all workouts to the individual persons abilities. They also ran family workouts that were fun and engaging for my 5 year old son. I cant wait to workout in their new facility, I highly recommend everyone to give their workouts a shot, you wont regret it.

The Coaches and other members welcomed me as a drop in from out of town. They have a top notch facility and really care about what they do!

Fantastic box. Great facility, even better community.

Amazing facility - huge, clean, top of the line equipment and amenities, and easy location from a variety of areas including Montgomery and Howard Counties. I went with a group of friends and we had an incredible time. Our fitness and experience levels ran the full spectrum, but coaches Marina and Brian were able to lead us all through our progressions and eventually into full WOD safely and with appropriate intensities.If youve had a bad experience or heard bad things about crossfit, no doubt this team here will help change your perspective. Whether youre an experienced cross-fitter or a first timer, Crossfit Cove will make you feel welcome, prepared, and eventually thankful for an awesome workout!

Excellent box with great trainers and lots of space!

The challenge is real! Great people, great coaches, great workouts!!!!

The husband-wife team who own and coach at the Cove make this place and the workout experience motivating and invigorating. As someone who does not find or take enough time to work out and stay fit as well as someone who is a novice when it comes to approaching the somewhat daunting crossfit regime, theyve made workouts informative, inspiring, and of course, exhausting - but you feel good even when you hurt a little because you know they, Brian and Marina, have your health and fitness intentions at heart.Ive seen them work with beginners like myself and experienced die-hard crossfitters alike, and theyve got a great approach no matter the situation. They exude such positivity and the appropriate amount of intensity based on group chemistry. Whether looking to get fit (again) through a different type of workout or compete in the crossfit world, Brian and Marina will get you on your way and fit.The bonus about the Cove is the space theyve carved out for kids. To be able to squeeze a workout in and check-in on the kid(s) between reps is fantastic. They understand the time constraints and limitations of the time one has to workout while raising kids, and now for the time you spend at the Cove, you can let the little one play while you play. Suddenly coordinating a workout seems a bit easier and everybody wins.The Columbia Crossfit Cove will not be a disappointing experience. Brian and Marina are ready to work with whomever at whatever level. They are genuine and inspiring people to workout with and know.

The owners of CrossFit Cove introduced me to CrossFit in 2013 and Ive experienced dramatic results. I guarantee if you join the CrossFit Cove community you will be very glad you did!

If you want to join a CrossFit community, this is the place to visit.

Great Ownership!

Love

What kind of place closes at 1230 on a Saturday smh
