12 Labours Columbia is no doubt the best crossfit gym for miles and miles around Maryland. I had the opportunity to be a member for over a year and cant think of anything but amazing things about this place! The coaches are incredibly dedicated and carry an amazing knowledge about what they are doing - they are not just part time random people who figured teaching some crossfit classes would be a nice extra money - every single coach at 12 Labours knows your name, will worry about any injury or any pain YOU say you are concerned about, they will go above and beyond to make sure YOU are taking the best from your time at the gym. There is no pressure about how fast or how heavy you go on your work outs, there is just lots and lots of cheers for whatever it is you achieve, even if it is just scoring a shot at the basketball warm up game with coach Luke! For work reasons I unfortunately moved too far away from any of the three 12 Labours locations and after a year away I still havent found any crossfit gym in the Baltimore area where I felt welcomed, safe - when attempting some new movement or carrying heavier weights - and where the truly meaning of being part of a community didnt mean being the cool kids who grew up to be crossfiters. Oh! And there is also the super cool part where you get to see your coaches at the Crossfit Games :)

I started CF a year ago at 12L. I remember thinking, as a mom of two young children and not in the best physical or mental shape, “what the hell are you doing…they will laugh at you…you can’t do this…” Convinced by my husband to give it try, I did. Little did I know, as I walked through those doors, I would find so much more than just a work-out. Since joining 12L, I have discovered my confidence, my push not to give up and to try harder, to compete with myself….. and best of all, I have found a family of friends. This place is like no other. Everyone, no matter what age or level, is kind, supportive and helpful. Everyone there wants you to succeed. Everyone there wants you to feel good and be happy. Thanks to 12L, I’m in the best physical and mental shape I’ve been in in a long time. 12L helped me get my groove back, and they’ve given me the confidence to get through whatever obstacle may come my way. Thank you 12L!

I have been active and athletic since I was 14 years old. Over the past 25 years I have had gym memberships, video workouts and even built a home gym. I just wasnt getting results any longer. In December I stepped into 12 labours Columbia very uncertain whether or not this was the "right" next step for me. I started with a limited membership to see how things would go. Quickly, I learned that I havent been challenged as physically or mentally since I was on the high school wrestling team. I was getting and seeing the results I was hoping for. But it wasnt the workouts that kept me...it was The fantastic coaches, supporting and welcoming community, and excellent leadership from the top that made it easy to stay. I upgraded my membership to unlimited and even added my wife. She is equally enthusiastic, stimulated and motivated to be part of the 12 labours community. Thank you team!

Its hard to do justice to how much I love this place. In the 8+ years that Ive been participating in CrossFit at some level or another, Ive worked out at 50+ different affiliate gyms. There are a lot of great facilities out there, but at the end of the day this is the one that I am proud to call home. The members are positive and welcoming, with an amazing sense of community. The coaches are consummate professionals who take serious pride in their work, and it shows -- they know how to push you to get your best possible results while fostering a safe and fun environment. Whether you are a fire-breather looking to get challenged to compete at the highest level (top 10 Games team here...) or someone who has literally never exercised a day in their life before, or anything in-between, I encourage you to come by and see for yourself how awesome this place is.

I came to 12 Labours having been doing CrossFit for a year. In the 9 months since, I have grown tremendously in my ability to move beyond scaling workouts to attacking bigger lifts and doing more intermediate gymnastic moves. The biggest advantage is the skilled, dedicated and down to earth coaching staff, one of the best Ive had the privilege of being instructed by. They really focus on warm ups and overall mobility - not as after thoughts but as integral components to progressing forward as a better CrossFitter. They also are very happy to advise you with personal goals, better ways to tackle a WOD or dealing with injury. On a daily basis I walk into the box inspired by the wisdom, accomplishments and dedication to fitness of this athlete community.

I started CrossFit at ground zero - out of shape, with very little knowledge about fitness (much less weightlifting), and unsure of which gym to join. I checked out three gyms before deciding on 12 Labours, and it was the BEST decision I couldve possibly made. From the moment I walked in the door I was treated as a valued member by the staff and as an equal by the existing members. In the years since Ive learned SO much, had SO much fun, and accomplished things that I never wouldve thought possible - and I have nothing but optimism for the future. Its an absolutely wonderful, life-changing experience to be a part of 12 Labours - so much so that its hard to even sum it up in words. Suffice to say Id give a 50 star rating if I could. : )

I love this place! When moving out of the city to the burbs, I needed a new crossfit home. I found it at 12L. Finding a new crossfit gym can be tough because its a roll of the dice as to if the owners/coaches are a group of knuckleheads that grabbed a Level 1 cert and signed a lease or if you are in the hands of people who know what they are doing. The programing at 12L is purpose driven and thoughtful, and the coaching is watchful and experienced. I am physically/mentally challenged but feel completely safe. All this doesnt even touch the community, which is super fun and knows how to enjoy life in and out of the gym. Plus, sometimes youll see a Games athlete walk by with no shirt on. Everyone wins!

It only took one visit to 12 Labours Columbia and my mind was made up. This was going to be my new crossfit home. The people, the environment, and the energy were unlike any other box I’ve been to. It also doesn’t hurt that I was welcomed with opens arms immediately upon stepping through the door. The thought of finding a new box was daunting as I made the move from Florida. While this life transition to Columbia was ultimately to further my career, finding the right gym was always in the back of my mind. 12 Labours Columbia is without a doubt the “right gym.” Not only have I been pushed to my limits physically and mentally, but I’ve made friendships that I can honestly say will last a lifetime.
