Kyle was a great coach! He paid close attention to my form throughout the session, offering clear guidance and encouragement that made me feel confident and supported. The classmates were pretty stellar also - everyone was friendly and genuinely willing to share tips or demonstrate stretches.They took time with me after class to show a few specific stretches I could do at home, targeting some of my personal pain points, which made me feel cared for beyond just the workout. The whole experience at a2o Fit: Home of CrossFit Panthera felt thoughtful and personalized, and I left feeling both challenged and hopeful that these small adjustments would really help my ongoing issues.

First day back to the gym after a 9 month break and felt so welcomed and glad to be back!!!! Coach Jen was super helpful with letting me know how to start out with my weights since it’s been a little while. So happy to be back and get into the swing of things again! I was a little nervous walking in today but felt so comfortable as soon as I was greeted.

Great atmosphere, friendly staff, spot on coaching. From the moment you walk in a2o Fit: Home of CrossFit Panthera, there’s a welcoming energy that makes you feel part of something bigger than just a workout.The coaches pay close attention to every detail - whether it’s correcting your form during a lift or encouraging you to push through that last rep without sacrificing technique. The staff always greet you by name, creating a sense of community that goes beyond the gym floor. I’m glad to be part of an organization that values family as well; it shows in how everyone supports each other, both inside and outside of class.

After having taken a year off CrossFit I decided to dip my toes back in and get myself back into the community. I’ve done 2 drop ins so far and Wow! Everyone is so friendly and welcoming! The gym is very clean and organized! The workouts have been quite challenging and push my limits! Couldn’t be happier!

I've been training with Justin and all the other coaches for a few months now, and I can confidently say they’ve completely changed the way I approach fitness. Their knowledge, energy, and attention to detail are next-level. Whether you're a beginner or experienced athlete, Justin knows how to push you safely and effectively. Every session is challenging but fun, and the progress I've seen in both strength and endurance has been incredible. They’re also great at building a supportive and inclusive environment—everyone feels welcome. Highly recommend!

Great place great people

Liz is so amazing and fun to have as a coach. She’s very attentive to each individual and provides great feedback!

2025-05-13T19:12:28.279Z

I did foundation with coach Drew. I started from zero. He is awesome, and helped me building my skills. He taught me step by step until I could do it the right way and not hurt myself. When I started the class he continued watching me to make sure I continued to improve.I love everyone in this gym. They’re nice and friendly. The gym is clean and has a lot of things to help you while you are there.

I joined CrossFit Panthera a little over 6 months ago. And from the first time I walked in the door I felt welcomed and immediately part of a community. As someone who was new to CrossFit, it really helped that every single instructor is super knowledgeable about the workouts. Each coach takes the time to demonstrate and observe you so that you are moving safely, while also finding things that can challenge you. 10/10 would recommend.

2025-02-05T22:13:25.633Z

Great place to get better! Smaller gym where can make relationships with others. Coaches are supportive.

2025-02-05T16:52:27.429Z

Liz is a very throughout coach who is always trying to make you better. She is knowledgeable and caring and fun. She was a mainstay for my year long recovery of forearm surgery and I'm so glad that I am almost back to normal. Don't know if I could have done it with out her help and encouragement

2025-02-02T16:18:23.756Z

Liz brings a great energy to the class. She’s warm, friendly and knows her stuff!

2025-02-02T16:01:53.521Z

As always, class today was great! Well structured and professionally coached. I’ve never had a bad class at CF Panthera. I’ve always walked away having felt like I had a safe, productive workout with quality instruction. But the best part is always the supportive and caring, community of athletes and coaches I get to be with at class. CF Panthera is special.

2025-01-29T01:47:22.685Z

Excellent CrossFit Gym with the best coaches and friendliest members in the area! If you are an experienced Crossfitter or never tried CrossFit before you will love this place! Great schedule too! Lots of early, midday, or late classes available. The equipment is in great shape and the gym is always super clean. CrossFit Panthera is totally worth trying if you are looking for a new gym routine.

2025-01-23T15:47:12.778Z

CrossFit was never my thing but everyone else in my family did it so I felt like I had to give it a try. Pantheras community was very welcoming before I even took my first foundations class. The coaches provide modifications when you're injured or scaled options for those days when you're struggling but still show up for yourself to workout. It doesn't matter how often or little you come, the coaches remember who you are and make you feel like you're family. They take the time to get to know you and your goals and work to support you however they can.

Amanda is a wonderful asset to our Calvert County community. I am the race director for a 5K race series in the county and Amanda graciously comes and supports the race series by leading our warm up for 800-1,000 people each time. She brings great energy and positivity and supports two great organizations (the Friends of JPPM and Project ECHO, the only homeless shelter in our county!). I’m also the Mom to two young kiddos that have taken Amanda’s KidFit class for two years now and it gives the kids something active to do in the winter months. We’ve gone to birthday parties that Amanda leads and it’s always a great time for the kids. She is organized, kind and patient. I look forward to when my schedule allows me to join myself as a member!

I’ve been a member of CrossFit Panthera, for many years now. As an older member I was a little nervous at first. Amanda and the coaching staff are phenomenal. They really focus on proper form and scaling workouts to fit your fitness level no matter where you are starting from. I’ve never felt intimidated, and the community is incredibly supportive. I would recommend CrossFit Panthera, too help you reach your fitness goals

Years after hurting my back working out at my house I found instructor-led classes to help me safely workout and improve my functional fitness. Like most people with desk jobs, I sit a lot of the day, and coming to CrossFit Panthera gets me out of my chair. I appreciate the care and attention the staff offers, making sure we're doing the movements correctly and safely! What's more, it's fun and friendly. Gyms can be intimidating but I've made good friends with the staff and the other gym members.

I’ve been a consistent member for nearly 5 years & I’m always impressed with the well taught & organized classes. I’m always motivated and looking forward to the next class. The community here is great & you can tell the owner takes a lot of pride in what she does.

2025-01-22T16:52:23.058Z

I have been doing CrossFit since 2013, and find the community of CrossFit one of the reasons I keep coming back. CrossFit Panthera is no different. Amanda and her coaches offer a friendly, knowledgeable environment to safely teach the fundamentals of CrossFit to a wide range of athletes, whether that be age or skill level. Kids Fit to Silver Fit... body weight to the olympic lifts... give CrossFit Panthera a try, you might find you are coming back 12 years later.

2025-01-22T16:44:30.747Z

I have been a happy member now since 2021 and I strongly believe that this is a great place to train, regardless of your skill level. They also provide classes for kids and seniors. My wife and I attend CrossFit classes regularly, my kids attend the kidFit classes and my mother-in-law attends the silverFit classes . Amanda combines effective, challenging workouts with expert coaching and a supportive community, creating a friendly environment that keeps you motivated and engaged. CrossFit Panthera is an excellent choice for an inclusive, results-oriented, and community-driven training experience!
