Top Tier Columbia does an exceptional job of sanitizing equipment and maintaining cleanliness. EVERY class, the Coach welcomes Athletes with mask-on and takes everyone's temperature outside the huge workout space. Top Tier easily accommodates a class of 20 athletes, all properly distanced six feet apart, with plenty of equipment for everyone. The Coach leads Athletes through a targeted warm up (specific to the goals of training that day), strength workout (e.g. deadlift/squat/clean/snatch/etc.), and then an intense CrossFit style workout of the day. After all Athletes finish, the Coach leads them in cleaning/sanitizing all equipment and putting it away, followed by a targeted cool down. Since COVID-19 hit, many of my friends, colleagues, and peers were worried about reentering a gym for fear of catching the virus or lack of cleanliness, but the Top Tier staff is working hard to ensure the safety of all Athletes who want to improve themselves. read more

I found a deal on Groupon for unlimited classes for 1 month and decided to go for it. Yesterday was my first CrossFit experience ever and it was honestly a bit intimidating. The space is huge, clean, and beautiful with a lot of people who look like they know what they are doing, hence my intimidation. As I started my class, I became a lot more comfortable, the staff is very nice and knowledgeable. I am very excited on returning and looking forward to the new challenges. Would defined recommend for all activity levels. read more

Great gym!!! I came here on a Groupon and it was a overwhelming coming from other crossfit gyms in the area! I can say they're friendlier to beginners here. You get accustomed to the space after a few months. Try their Groupon and if you love it, stay!Members. When there're way too many people in a class, they're excellent with help and don't let you feel dumb or bothered when they help. Just leave it to lay people to help another layman out! My classmates are great and they make every workout worth it. They're some members who have a personal program and it's fun to watch them! There was one girl we miss now who post her workout everyday from this gym. She said it's "discouraging members" and she stopped doing it. (It was never discouraging if anything ENcouraging to see normal members workout on their own) Definitely members to look up to! The building layout is great! They have a waiting area with couches and a couple of tables to eat at. The billeting board is outdated with pictures of members we never see anymore. The bathrooms are a perfect size, we never need to wait for a stall! Always clean! They have activities over the weekends! It's a great space to come workout! They should hold weekend activities with all day workouts! And finally to make this review an honest review. There's one issue I find with this crossfit gym is the lead coach is so arrogant. (I can say this because he wrote out all his qualifications for his lifetime of fitness courses so he can tell you to vote for him as best coach in Howard County.) That was just obnoxious and a obvious demand for his cohorts to read his certifications. He doesn't necessarily like particular coaches with different personalities and fun approaches. There was so much wrong with that but its a internal fight with myself to continue coming so don't let him "discourage" you, the rest of the coaches are excellent, humble, and the real reasons why members continue coming to Top Tier! read more

Great box. Really well equipped with tons of space. Coaches knowledgable and approachable. Dedicated area for kids as well as huge lounge.

If you have been on the fence about trying out a Crossfit program then you need to try out Top Tier. Over the course of two years at Top Tier I have only come in contact with knowledgeable instruction and a friendly environment. There is no intimidation at this box, you could walk up to anyone here and they would be willing to help you learn a skill or talk to you about anything. The facility is large and you will always have the equipment needed to complete your WOD. In addition to your traditional crossfit programming there are many other classes provided at this facility, kettlebell training, Olympic/Power lifting, yoga, boot camps and more. The lead trainer/programmer Jason is awesome, I'm always enthused to be in his class. Also, Sunday Fundays hosted by Justin are some of the most killer workouts available. If you become a member at TopTier you are not confined to the classes, you are free to use the facilities as your needs require as long as you respect the space and equipment being used for classes. Military and first responder discounts are offered. read more

Incredibly large facility. If you have your own programming then definitely use the space, as there's plenty of it. If you are new to CrossFit, then this is the place for you. Large community of people who just want to look good, feel good, and get their sweat on. They offer powerlifting and Olympic lifting classes; again, great coaches. If you want to focus on CrossFit alone, then this might not be the place for you. There are other serious gyms with significantly better programming - Blue Crab & Revamped, to name a couple- that will help you achieve your goal of prepping for the open or what-have-you. Certainly, feel free to give It a try but if you don't want to learn how to perform a KB swing for 15minutes each class, then chose another place. All the good coaches have left, so it's hard to find someone motivating. Knowledgeable they are though, don't get me wrong; they're just not motivating. Other pros: classes all day, huge bathrooms, showers, lounge area, CrossFit Kids, large community. Good luck in your fitness journey wherever it may lead. This place is a really good start. read more

This place is intense- classes are held all day so no excuses. Plenty of room for everyone in the classes. Plenty of equipment - I like the fact that they don't pressure you and follow you around on your trial visit like most places- if CrossFit is your thing you will like it - not sure if its my thing yet. read more
