Three.. Two.. One.. Lift! I came up to CrossFit WhiteMarsh to support my fellow weightlifters for the Baltimore Open AND Let me say, this gym is absolutely beautiful and very clean. The gym is located in a business park which was really surprising for a Crossfit box, mainly because you find them at converted abandoned warehouses or garage shops. However I was very impressed with the interior. The space is very big and has high ceilings (which is great for any ring movements). I did see some ropes, so expect a good 20ft climb if that is ever in the WOD. The gym is essentially a square with each corner of the square drywalled into smaller squares with a focus on a specialty. The far right side had platforms which I assume was for the Olympic Weightlifting classes. While the left side had the standard rigs necessary to perform your squats and pull ups. Amenities are nice, there are 2 showers, 2 restrooms, and a lounge! The lounge is dubbed the Kid's lounge, so feel free to interpret that to your liking. To your immediate left when you walk in, there's a refridgerator stock full with kill clifs and other recovery drinks. On your immediate right, there's a room for warming up and mobility. In that room, there's a daunting (or cute) whiteboard with people's stats and numbers. A+ for keeping people accountable and setting goals! If you are in baltimore and want to check out a nice crossfit facility, I'd recommend this place. Now excuse me while I go set a PR in my snatch. read more

Athletic Asylum CrossFit White Marsh - Baltimore Open Stage! - Gyms Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

This was out of my comfort zone, but the minute you walk in you feel welcome. Everyone is encouraging and helpful no one is there to judge. The classes helped by giving me a routine and tips to do at home physically, mentally and dietary as well. I started with the 6 week challenge and I was able to beat it which made me want to push myself more. This is not just a place to work out it is a family supporting each other to get healthy. The trainers are knowledgeable and the gym is not cluttered and very clean. read more

Staff is not hospitable or friendly. I guess they should learn how to treat and talk to people. Never know who the next potential customer is or is not in this case. Looks like an other over priced basement gym.... couldn't see much more past the rude and unwelcoming behavior read more

You will be hooked! The intensity of the workouts is gaged for the individual & the knowledgeable & encouraging coaches support you the whole way! read more

I started at Athletic Asylum right before the Covid-19 quarantine. Even though I had been with them, for a matter of weeks, they treated me like family, making it an easy choice to join officially upon reopening. The gym has a family-vibe. Everyone is helpful and friendly. The online classes that they provided during quarantine proved to me that this is a business that cares genuinely about their members. With the help of Tara and Kristen I was even able to LOSE 10 lbs in quarantine. They are both experts through and through. read more

This place is a hot mess! And honestly I would never recommend it to others unless you are comfortable just doing your own thing in the open gym time. The owner is never around and when he is, don't expect him to care about you, check on you, or attend his own events. He is totally in it for the money, running things like the 6 week challenge that basically makes you starve yourself and work out not enough to be making a difference. The price at this place is also not comparable to others and they over charge significantly for the month. They also use level method which they constantly refer to as crossfit, yet gains are minimal for people who come to class about 4 times a week and not because they don't push themselves. You can get so much stronger elsewhere. Additionally, the coaches are nice but when you don't follow their exact direction they don't seem to care about you. They are great with their own form but really don't help with form when you are using weights (which is so dangerous). You walk in to observe a class and you can see all the people who have worked out for a while versus people just starting, because all the people just starting have horrible form on simple movements and not much seems to be done about helping them. I've honestly seen more members help new people than the coaches. There is also not enough mobility to keep yourself from getting hurt and everyone rushes through their small warm up and stretching. Good luck if you decide to chose this place for you gym, especially if you already struggles with pain in knees, back or elsewhere on your body. read more
