These guys are great. I've been going since January 2019 and am loving it. The key differential is the coaches and how they approach the workouts.
I started to focus on my health in the middle of 2018 and had lost some weight through mostly cardio work. After about six months I wanted to add strength work to my routine, and I decided to go with Crossfit Indianapolis. Overall, I've lost about 80 pounds - it would be an exaggeration to say all of that was a product of Crossfit Indianapolis, however, it did help me get the last 25 pounds off, as well as, significantly improve my strength. It has been a big reason why I feel like I'm in the best shape of my life.
All the coaches are very knowledgeable, patient and find the right balance of encouragement, making it challenging and safe. Every class I've been to starts with a productive warm-up and stretching, followed by an overview and practice of the Crossfit movement(s) that will be used that day. We then go through a primer to make sure everyone is comfortable, then finishing it off with the workout. All in an hour.
One of the warnings I had heard about Crossfit was that it could lead to injury, specifically with the back or shoulders. At Crossfit Indianapolis, there is a very strong focus on form and a lot of discussion about doing the movement(s) the right way. There is always a risk of injury when working out, especially when you are lifting free weights. However, the coaches do a phenomenal job of actively watching and directing the participants to minimize the risk.
Finally, Crossfit Indianapolis has a great culture. All the participants are overwhelmingly supportive, encouraging and welcoming. It is a fun group that constructively works to help people achieve their best results.
