This is the first year my son was with me and joined for a workout and he felt welcomed like family at this box too. The athletes their were incredibly friendly and fun loving. They know that CrossFit is about the community and having fun and you could tell!! To start with, Gary does an incredible job of warming us up and focusing stretching on the muscle groups we're going to hit that day. He takes his time with all of his athletes so nobody feels rushed. During the PVC progression to teach hang squat cleans he took extra time to ensure my son had proper form. He also believes in "time under tension" with the PVC to ensure proper movement before any weights are added. By the time we started he WOD everyone was sure of the movements and the workout would progress. We all pushed each other since it was a team workout on a Saturday. Afterwards we all helped each other clean up and put away weights. If I lived in the area, their is no question I would make this my home box!! Highly recommend them for personal trainer, local gym, group fitness classes, or even nutrition planning. If you also need supplements these guys can help you out too!! If you're driving through CrossFitters, make sure to drop in, you won't regret it!!

This is a women's fitness studio with trainers who are encouraging and supportive. There are…read moreclasses that focus on different muscles and the workouts change each month. The trainer will walk you through the exercises at the beginning of each class and then they'll turn up high energy playlists for warm ups and the workouts. There are four sections that you rotate between, each section has at least two exercises. So if you end up dreading one of the sections, you're only there for a few minutes. The trainers will take the time to help you with the exercises if you're struggling and suggest modifications to the workouts if you need them. The classes have made me much more comfortable with incorporating weights into my workouts. The only downside is that facility does not have a shower and the last classes during the week begin at 5:30 pm.

I had been a member at PF but found it quit boring! Ambition has went above and beyond in results, classes, and making you realize that you can do it! My 1st class was Upper Hirt. 4 stations...teams together supporting each other. The break down is each station has 2 special movements and or weights geared for that area of muscle and body strength. The team is in groups and each switches off to do those particular tasks. The class last for 45 minutes and let me tell you...YOU WILL WORK YOUR ASS OFF AND YOU WILL FEEL IT THEN AND THE NEXT DAYS TO COME! They also have Lower Hirt. Full Body...Etc. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Ambition Fitness! I am 53 and trying to tone and build muscle with cardio. This is WOMEN ONLY and a fun women bonding experience. You will love it and be proud of your success. Please mention my name if and when you call. Katie will Be eager to help answer any and all of your questions.

I'm updating my previous rating from 2 to 3 stars…read more I was really impressed that the owner, Ryan, contacted me via email/yelp to amend the situation I addressed in my previous review. He offered a month of training gratis, and I took him up on the offer. As for the experience, Force seems to be a great place to get a quick workout in. The staff are friendly, and knowledgeable. The actual 'work' done in a session ranges from 15-40 minutes. Warm up includes a bit of foam rolling, and some dynamic stretching exercises. The actual workout involves circuit-type functional training. I like that they incorporate explosive plyometric movements for people who are more fit, and yet find modifications for people who are just getting into fitness. Advantages: 1) No need to think. These people do the programming, you only need to show up 2) Matt (the trainer I had) was great about checking form and providing modifications to the suggested exercises. 3) I like the community. It is nice to see familiar faces at each workout... definitely helps in keeping me motivated. 4) Facility is clean, nice shower/changing rooms. 5) I like the fact that you choose particular days and times for classes in advance; it really helps keep you on track and accountable. Disadvantages: 1) I personally found the workouts to be too boring and easy (I don't think I ever woke up with a sore muscle after a workout). I come from a personal training background, and I'm used to spending more time at the gym. This program is likely ideal for a person of average fitness. Often after a workout at Force I head to the campus gym to get more cardio training and lifting in. 2) I find the location of this place to be less-than-ideal. This is just me. 3) Certain days of the week (namely days that involve isometric type exercises) are incredibly boring. (My friends have had similar complaints) 4) Pricing: this place is a bit expensive. Suggestions: 1) Perhaps have certain boot camp sessions cater to beginner or advanced levels of fitness. As it stands, there are too many people in a class with too many different issues to target. It is kind of a mess. 2) If you are already an athlete or experienced in training, I suggest you forgo the boot camp sessions, and try out personal training (this may be more rigorous and tailored) Summary: After this bootcamp, I will not be returning to Force (I may not even finish the boot camp that was offered). It is located on the outskirt of town, far from where I work/live, and the workouts aren't really working out for me. I know a lot of other people who love this place (secretaries, neighbors, friends, etc.) but it just isn't my thing.

This place is so incredibly special, I can't put it into words. Simply stated: whoever you are,…read morewhatever your goals, whatever your experience, Force is THE gym in Bloomington. The coaching is literally world-class, and you WILL get the results you're searching for (ask yourself, are you reaching them with what you're doing now?)! Personally, I lost 90lbs and gained a fabulous family/community along with an amazing education in fitness, nutrition and myself. This gym and it's various programs really are for all levels. The bootcamp is great and there is no one to blame if you don't get a great workout in but yourself. People in a more advanced athletic state are expected to do more advanced movements with heavier weights at faster speeds. Key Words: High performance athlete training, student (youth) athlete training, weight loss, high intensity interval training, personal training, group training, nutrition, Olympic Weightlifting, strength and conditioning, safety, Functional Movement Screen (FMS), mobility, MovNat, CrossFit, Brazilian Ju Jitsu, Precision Nutrition, Whole 9/30, paleo/primal, boot camp, mindfulness, play/sport, constant improvement, support, acceptance, open space. State of the art gym (and clean!) with the best group of coaches, trainers and administrators in the business. I could go on and on. I've been doing this fitness/weight loss thing a long, long time and this gym is the height of what you can get. I've had to move out of state, and there's nothing I mourn more than the loss of Force. Give it a chance.

Are you looking for a kick ass workout, friendly people and extremely knowledgeable coaches? Then…read moreyou'll love Hoosier CrossFit! I had never heard of CrossFit before I joined Hoosier CrossFit, and I cannot have asked for a better gym to start doing CrossFit. The staff is very friendly and welcoming and will go above and beyond to make sure you understand what you're doing and that you're having a great experience. They organize a ton of events and have really built a community around the gym. The workouts are always fun and NEVER repetitive. The variety of workouts is the selling point for me. You will never be bored. I never realized how spoiled I was at Hoosier CrossFit until I moved to NYC for a summer job and joined a CrossFit gym there that was 3 times the price and double the number of students per class, which meant I got minimal personal attention. I highly recommend Hoosier CrossFit for anyone who's looking for a great gym! Whether you're a seasoned CrossFitter or have never heard of it before, I guarantee Hoosier CrossFit will have a plan that will work for you.

Since I was moving to IN for school, I was looking for a new box to go to. There are two main CF…read moreboxes in Bloomington: Hoosier CF & CF Bloomington. Neither of the locations were close to where I was living, so I looked at pricing + schedule to help narrow down my decision. I ended up trying CF Bloomington first because I liked that they have a 5am class & yoga built into the programming AND most importantly, it's cheaper ($100/unlimited for students). I like CFB so much that I haven't dropped in Hoosier CF yet. Some reasons why I enjoy CFB: *I'm super impressed that the 6am class here is HUGE. In LA, 6am class was the leanest class (maybe 4 people tops). Here, 10+ every time. But, if you're a CrossFitter that wants more personal attention - the coaches always do the best they can BUT just by the nature of having lots of people - it's tough! And, sometimes we have to split up into heats. *EQUIPMENT ON EQUIPMENT ON EQUIPMENT. This is again probably an LA thing but I've never seen such a massive box before. Also, SO many rowers + skiergs + racks + KBs + barbells + clips haha *The community here reminds me of my old box - in a good way. Really friendly, no one is hyper competitive. There are "extracurriculars" planned like women's defense workshops, donation drives, Rookie Rumble, etc. *Coaching - not that my previous coaches weren't great but CFB coaches - at least the ones I've been exposed to so far - are even more technical. The coaches have a very thorough understanding of how to do things right + how to build to get there. For instance, they don't want you to do kipping PUs if you don't have strict PUs yet. *Active Recovery - on the yoga note, Thursdays are programmed to be 100% active recovery/skill work. You can also use this time to make up any WODs you missed. I like this because it encourages a balance and allows for a little more flexibility. Tip: if you use google maps, it doesn't really lead you to the right place. Park here (b-line parking lot I believe: 39.153159, -86.535882) & walk towards the b-line to get to CFB.

Shred 415 has been open at it's highlands location for 6 months! I've been going to classes at…read moreShred 415 for 2 months. I took advantage of the option to take my first class free. After my class I filled out the survey that was emailed to me which gave me the option to attend a second class for free. After my second class I was hooked and signed up. Shred 415 has multiple class pack options to purchase. The entire facility is very clean and the provide quality equipment to use in class. The bathroom has everything you would need to prep yourself after class.... showers, towels, hairdryer, dry shampoo, hair spray. I enjoy that the class is in a cool temperature controlled studio. I've never been disappointed with the music playlist chosen for a class. I always catch myself singing along or pushing myself harder because of the beat. Shred 415 offers one hour classes that are divided into intervals, alternating between treadmill drills and strength training. Most classes are the standard four 15 minute intervals. I like that some instructors switch it up and do six 10 minute intervals or 2 fifteen minutes, 2 ten minutes, and 2 five minute intervals. I like to rotate between starting on the treadmill or on the floor. I try to attend a class 3-4 times per week. Shred 415 uses the MindBody app to sign up for classes. Each day they list multiple times with the instructor and the type of class (total body, arms & abs, butt & legs). I prefer to work out in the morning and they offer multiple class times for me to pick from. Some class times even offer childcare during the class, and it's clearly marked on the MindBody app. My first class I made it very clear that I WILL NOT be running on the treadmills ... the owner and instructor assured me that the treadmill intervals will be at my own pace. Approaching the end of my first two months and I'm occasionally running on the treadmill while in class. I love the entire staff at Shred 415. When I walk in the front door the staff knows my name and checks me in. The instructors give name shout outs to encourage during class.... and sometimes hearing my name gives me that extra push that I needed! The owner, Kathleen, very friendly and present. She quickly responded to my emails and made signing up a breeze! Thank you to Kathleen and the entire staff for making my morning work outs great! Come give Shred 415 a chance!

Besides CycleBar- this is my favorite workout in town!…read more If you haven't tried Shred415 yet- you are missing out. The staff is super cool, the facility is very clean, the treadmills are the best I have ever been on and the work out will kick your butt. I love group fitness. There is something so motivating about pushing through tough work outs with a group of people with similar goals. You can start on the treadmill or start on the floor. I have done both now and I prefer starting on the treadmill. I love running so having an instructor push me to 8% incline with speed is a fantastic feeling. Don't be intimidated though- you can walk if you want. The floor work that I did was total body. It is as challenging as you make it. There is a bench, mat, dumbbells and bands. You will go through 15 minutes of strength training and then rotate again to the treadmill and then back to the floor. In an hour you get your total body strength and cardio done. They even have childcare onsite! For you busy parents out there- Shred 415 makes it easy to work out.
