Hoosier CrossFit — Local services in Bloomington

I started in June of 2018. Since leaving the Army in 1993, I tried a couple of gyms and doing exercise on my own. It just was not getting it. I always felt like I was doing something wrong.

When I started at Hoosier CrossFit, I was very nervous. Was this going to be a place full of people that slam weight on the floor and grunt loudly? Will the trainers know what they are talking about? Will they work out with me?

There wasn't any grunting or slamming of weights. The coaches work with us every single class. They explain why we are working the particular area and how to do it correctly. They also do the same workout they prescribe for the CrossFit class.

When I started, I was weak. I often found myself being the last person to finish the workout. The first time that happened, I had the rest of the class (my team) there to encourage me on. There is no shame in being the last one. The community of people I work out with are class act bunch. No matter what time the class, I know I can expect the same thing.

Each class starts with some mobility exercises and stretches that will help the targeted areas be ready for the workout of the day. Once that is complete, they go over skills which we will be using for the workout. It doesn't matter if someone has been there for years or weeks - the same skills discussion is given. Every workout. It may be repetitive, but it will benefit everyone. Consistency is key.

Once the class has started the workout, they stay with the class and make sure we are doing the movements wrong. They let us know when we are doing things correctly and if we are rocking it.

Post workout is more mobility exercises to help out the targeted areas.

Class is typically an hour long, but sometimes will go over. If you need to leave right after the workout, let them know. They will also scale the workouts to meet fitness levels and make adjustments for people who may be sick, injured or disabled.

In six months of going to three classes a week, I have lost about 25 pounds and lost 3 inches off my waist. I no longer sweat when doing ordinary tasks. I have more energy and my stress is greatly reduced.

Shaun and Jenna are passionate about what they do. That passion translates into the quality of service they provide. I can't speak to the other places in the area and how well they do. Shaun and Jenna have built a safe and worry-free place to work out. This is the place you want to try first.

Before going, I hated to exercise. Hated it. Now, I look forward to going to my classes. I truly love the environment and the program they...

Hoosier Crossfit is not just a gym. It's a safe place where you can go and leave all your stress behind for an hour a day. Shaun and Jenna are amazing coaches and with Shaun's programming, this place is the best crossfit gym I have ever been to. They are there for all of their members, whether you have no experience, are starting back after an injury, are planning on becoming a professional crossfit athlete, or you just want a place where you can work out. The time they spend to make everyone feel comfortable and welcome is elucidated in the tight community where everyone matters. This is the place I call my second home. It got me through graduate school, and now it gets me through the start of my professional career.

I had knee surgery a year ago (completely unrelated to crossfit) and starting back at the gym was very difficult. I couldn't perform all of the movements and even though Shaun and Jenna helped me scale everything accordingly, I was getting frustrated since I just felt like I wasn't getting better. Shaun offered me personal programming to get me back into classes where he programmed workouts to help me regain strength gradually. A couple of months later, I am back in classes with minimal scaling on the movements and almost back to my old self.

If you are looking for a gym like no other, look no further. Give Hoosier Crossfit a try!! You will not be disappointed....

Coming up on my 5-year anniversary working out at this gym I figured I now have the credibility to give it a very well-earned 5-star review! The staff are incredibly knowledgeable, the community has produced some of my closest friends, and working out here has become a part of my routine for half a decade! I've never stuck to any fitness routine more than a few weeks--so that's really saying something!! In particular, in the last two years, I was able to continue working out throughout my pregnancy and the coaches worked with my physical therapy to continue the modifications post-partum. I was very worried I would quit when I got pregnant, but they worked with me to find something that I could still benefit from! AND I am convinced the endurance helped with my labor and recovery (TMI, sorry!). The gym has also been flexible recently with Covid-related schedule and sanitation modifications to keep us working out safely. I feel so comfortable here (except for that normal working out discomfort from pushing limits, of course ;). This is truly a Bloomington gem of a place! Highly recommend the QuickFit and...
