How We are Different

Small Group Classes
Generally, group-training classes are known for large numbers with limited instruction.   At Hoosier CrossFit, all classes are limited to 12 because we believe in quality training with personalized attention.

Class Structure
We believe that workouts don’t have to be a 60 minute kick-your-butt session where your workouts starts at the time you arrive. Your longevity and safety within CrossFit fitness depends on the events that lead up to your workout.  Each 1 hour class will begin with a warm up, flexibility, skill work, and then you’re ready for the workout.

  • Warm up: We begin with a low intensity warm up designed to prepare your muscle for specific movements in our workouts.
  • Flexibility: Increasing range of motion will improve your performance and longevity within fitness. Each class targets specific areas to benefit your workouts.
  • Skill training: Movements performed in CrossFit are constantly varying, technical, and in need of proper instruction.  CrossFit should be considered a sport; in all sports, you will always need a coach to help improve your positioning and technique.
  • Workout: Everyday you’re surprised with a new workout!  In addition, results are posted to our whiteboard daily.  Tracking results will help you celebrate your little victories and, ultimately, help you see where you’ve been and how far you’ve come.

Workout Programming
CrossFit is known for high intensity and constantly varied workouts, but constantly varied should not be interpreted as constantly random.  CrossFit also shouldn’t be identified solely on intensity.  There is a science to our programming in which you will achieve full body fitness; our workouts are hand picked and vary among short and intense, long and enduring, heavy loads with few reps, and light loads with many reps.  With quality programming, you will improve in strength, endurance, flexibility, stamina, power, speed, balance, agility, accuracy, and coordination.

Expert Coaching
CrossFit can be interpreted as a sport; is there a sport in which you don’t need a coach?  One of the most important reasons why Hoosier CrossFit is different is because your coach will scale the workout to benefit your individual abilities and intensities.

Community
One of the greatest reasons why Hoosier CrossFit is different is because of our supportive community inside and outside of the gym.  Every month, we host holiday workouts with after-parties like our Tacky Sweater Christmas workout,  outside-of-the-gym get togethers like rock climbing at Hoosier Heights, fundraiser workouts such as our “Mighty Murph Challenge” to support local Monroe County American Red Cross, and competitive events such as Tough Mudder and regional CrossFit competitions.
