Broad Ripple Fit Club

Fantastic experience: CFBR deserves an A+. Great coaches, facility (which continues to grow and meet the needs of the group), and great training!

Fantastic experience: I've been a member of Crossfit Broad Ripple for two years, and I have loved it. I was VERY intimidated to try crossfit for the first time - the workouts looked intense, and the lifts seemed out of my league. But the coaches broke all of the movements down for me and helped me scale every workout as my fitness improved. More importantly, CFBR has fostered a community that is supportive, safe, and focused on individual growth.

Fantastic experience: I love working out at CFBR! Not only are the coaches awesome but they also know their stuff! I have learned and improved so much during the past year and it's all thanks to them. Finding a gym where both the coaches and members push you and motivate you to give it your all in every workout is hard, but CFBR has given me that and so much more!

Fantastic experience: Have been a member for over two years and love this place! Fantastic coaching, I have improved way more than I thought was possible. Can't say enough about the positive culture embraced by all the coaches and the other members, it is way more than just another crossfit box...this place truly embodies the community spirit that crossfit is all about. These people are more than friends...they are family!

Fantastic experience: CFBR has been the best experience my husband and I have had when it comes to exercise. At CFBR they do a wonderful job of welcoming everyone from all different backgrounds, even someone who said in their first class that "my kind of working out is getting up and grabbing a bottle of wine at dinner". Joining CrossFit can be intimidating but at CFBR the coaches and the members invite you in with the warmest welcome. Our previous experience at CrossFit was nothing like CFBR. CFBR has a full range of athletic capabilities from CrossFit Competitors to people who can only lift the bar, which reflected the make up of our previous gym. However at CFBR everyone works out together, even the competitors who have slightly different programming work out with the entire class and the coaches spend just as much time coaching them as they do everyone else. Our other experience was quite opposite and we actually ended up quitting CrossFit all together. Because of that experience we were a bit skeptical trying it again, but joining this community at CFBR has been the best decision we could have made! Our favorite thing about this gym and the reason why we continued with CFBR after trying it was the intense focus on form. The coaches, especially owner Jeff, constantly preach the importance of form and remaining injury free. CFBR is a place where they want to help you reach your fitness goals and if that means squatting 500 pounds then they can help you get there. But the only way Jeff and his team want to see it done is with the best form possible. Jeff is the first person to make you take all of the weight off of your bar, have you practice a movement over and over again, and explain why you will be better for it. Then a couple months later your doing that same movement with a 100 extra pounds. If you are looking for a way to jump start your health and wellness CrossFit Broad Ripple is the place to do so. You will gain confidence, a healthy lifestyle, and a community that will support and push you to constantly improve.

Fantastic experience: Easily a 5 star experience! You'll hear a lot of people comment on how well trained the coaching staff is and how they train their athletes... It's all true! Jeff Edwards and the other coaches place a strong emphasis on technique and proper form. Not only does that make you a better athlete but it keeps you safe during difficult movements. Whether you've been doing Crossfit for 5 years or never touched a weight in your life, this is a great place to join! It's extremely welcoming, not nearly as intimidating as one person might think and you're guaranteed to meet some cool people! It's the first and only box I'll be a member of while I live in Indy! Stop by, check it out and have some fun!

Fantastic experience: Definitely 5 stars. Had not worked out with weights in forty years.Was anxious at first, but these guys were fantastic. Very patient and made sure I was comfortable with the workouts, and introduced me to many of the members.I am amazed at how the flexibility in my joints has improved, and how much better I feel.I am really enjoying it.

Fantastic experience: I was a little nervous about trying crossfit workouts due to my inexperience with weight lifting. I quickly learned that the staff at CFBR is far more concerned with helping people lift with correct technique than with heavy weights. I was hooked after about 3 weeks. I can't say enough about how effective the workouts have been for my body and overall health. I have trimmed down body fat, gained 15lbs of muscle, and have developed a confidence in myself that I never had before. If you are looking to just lose some weight, save your money and go run on a tread mill. If you are looking to transform yourself into a capable machine, then CFBR will help get you there.

Fantastic experience: I spend a year abroad as au pair in 13/14. I started out in Crossfit Broad Ripple just a few days after arrival. From day one, the members and the coaches were my family #2, and I became extremely fond of all of them. I improved a lot during the year, more than I thought would be possible. The coaches are talented and so helpful. I have not only gained strenght and a great lifting form from coming there, but also several friendships. I miss them all, and I can't wait to get back and drop in! I don't think I will ever step into a gym as great as this one.

Fantastic experience: I really knew nothing about crossfit when I joined Crossfit Broad Ripple. After a skills assessment, they suggested I be in the beginning classes for a month. I wondered if a month was enough time to figure it all out! But it was, and the step by step personal instruction was wonderful! After moving on to the regular classes, the personal attention and instruction was still there, along with encouragement to continue building up my skills. I thoroughly enjoy the workouts and plan to be a member for a very long time. I've already lost significant weight and inches in my short two month membership, and I know the members and coaches at Crossfit Broad Ripple will help me achieve my fitness goals.

Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough about the excellent programming and coaching at CFBR. Whether its a group class or private training, coaches are on the spot offering tailored, supportive feedback aimed at helping each student reach their full potential. The CFBR community is so supportive and fun. My workouts at CFBR have become the highlight of my week and I've never been able to say that...ever...about any fitness program!

Fantastic experience: I have been doing Crossfit for four years now. I have been to many Crossfit gyms, but have never found one as great as CFBR. The coaching staff is second to none and the facility is amazing. Jeff, the owner and head coach, goes above and beyond to create the most well rounded programming to allow each member the ability to excel in their journey of crossfit and fitness. HIs focus on form and technique is nothing that I have ever seen before at any other gym. The community at CFBR is amazing and it is hard to not spend hours there hanging out with everyone. Most of us have nicknamed CFBR, "The best gym in all the land!" Anyone looking for a great Crossfit gym that will change their lives in the most positive way should come to CFBR for the best experience you can get. Oh and I can't forget that it happens to have the best location in Indianapolis right off the Monon Trail!!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love training at Crossfit Broad Ripple! The excellent coaching and members make each class an absolute joy. Crossfit has proven to be a humbling endeavor and I couldn’t ask for a better group of people to help push me through the tough times and become a better athlete. Each coach genuinely cares for the safety and health of their members. Their passion for the sport shines through daily! Crossfit Broad Ripple is worth every penny!!

Fantastic experience: CFBR, is the best gym , coming from a person , who used to hate, going to a gym for a workout, don't get all excited I still have a love and hate relationship, but its has been wonderful and lovely 3 years, with no severe flares up of colitis and my overall well being has improved to a level that I can't express in words and I thank ,each and everyone , of CFBR family for being patient and caring .

Fantastic experience: I love to train here! The coaches are top notch athletes and are very thorough instructors and great motivators! The location could not be better, and all my fellow Cross Fitters are great fun to be with. The energy here is high, and intense without being overly competitive. We all push each other and encourage each other to do our best at each work out, and have fun doing it. I am stronger, faster, more flexible and have more endurance than ever before, and all because of the time I put in at Cross Fit Broad Ripple. Excellent!!

Fantastic experience: I can't say enough about CFBR. Jeff, Jessi, and Shannon are amazing coaches who stress fundamentals instead of weight. The classes are well run, and the community is amazing. From the first moment we stepped into the gym, we never felt out of place. Everyone was helpful and supportive. The facilities are amazing as well. There's plenty of space and equipment for the largest classes so you never have to worry about being cramped. The location is amazing too. Sitting directly off the Monon Trail, we oftentimes run before or after a class and then hang around to watch others working out. (It's nice to have a coffee shop across the street too!) If you're looking for a great gym built around community, lifestyle, and good living, CFBR is definitely the place for you.

Fantastic experience: Great gym and great people..so much fun. And not sure what James is talking about because there are drop ins here every week.

Fantastic experience: I started here about 2 months ago, and have loved every second. Firstly, no matter what coach is teaching or what class it is, every exercise is talked about and demonstrated. I feel very comfortable learning new skills when it is all broken down for me. Coaches are nice and motivating; no one ever screams at you or tries to make you do more than you can. But they do expect you to put in hard work, and they will push you. I enjoy the lifting session followed by interval/cardio training. I have done/do a lot of different workouts, and I enjoy having this in my schedule. I see myself going here for a long time.

Fantastic experience: Love this place! Joining CFBR was the best decision I've ever made regarding my health and wellness. I feel better about my fitness now than I ever did as a collegiate athlete.

Fantastic experience: I am very excited to part of such a great family at CFBR. The staff is helpful and friendly, the classes have so many benefits and I couldn't be happier with a gym. The facility is convienient (on the Monon in Broad Ripple) and has also recently been expanded and the classes only continue to get better. I look forward to many more exciting things to come!

Fantastic experience: Such a fantastic gym! I started out with barely any experience with cross fit and have never felt out of place here! The coaching staff is wonderful and always so helpful. They motivate and educate you all while having a smile on their face! It’s a very welcoming community!

Fantastic experience: If you have a teenager who doesn't have a sport they love, but you want them to get involved and move, this is a wonderful option! My son walked out after his second class telling me about how he did something he didn't know he could do, a pullup. Sounds like a small thing, but for him this group fitness class is building his confidence & he really enjoys the small group aspect. As a parent I'd highly recommend BR Fit Club!! Thank you Becca for all you do!!

Fantastic experience: Ive been active duty military for ten years now. Indy is my hometown, and I visit from time to time for family functions, weddings, etc. I can tell you that finding a place that offers open gym drop-ins at a reasonable price ($20) is usually next to impossible, no matter what state you're in. Most boxes try to pull you into their 200+ dollar classes, and it can be frustrating when you're always on the move and just need a place to sweat for a few days. These guys are perfect. They're not worried about recruiting you...they have more than enough clientele. From what I gathered/watched while I worked out, they do offer solid programming too, if that's what you're interested in. Just understand that they definitely won't pressure you into that programming unless you want it. They have everything you'd ever look for in a crossfit gym, with the exception of skiergs, but honestly, who cares lol. If that's a deal breaker for you, you're probably too high maintenance for crossfit anyway. I also wanted to give a quick shout out to Jessi and Becca. They are incredibly accommodating, FRIENDLY and on top of that humble. Both have been to regionals, but you'd never hear them say it. I only know because I noticed their name cards on the back wall. Great gym. 10/10 would recommend

Fantastic experience: Absolutely the best CrossFit gym I’ve joined. People are nice, everyone is on a different journey, and we celebrate all the wins. I’ve made some friends along the way as well. Oh, and the coaching is impeccable, I get my questions and answered and there are always scaling options.

Fantastic experience: Dropped in during a trip to Indy; one of the best Crossfit facilities I've been to. Happened to be a nice day, so got to row and do some wall ball shots outside - phenomenal. Also - having the gym right on a bike trail is pretty solid. Will be back for sure. Thanks guys, great facility.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality This place and all its beautiful people have become my fit fam and I love every bit of being there ... even when I hate it, you know what I mean?! I feel myself growing stronger and trust that the staff supports my goals.

Fantastic experience: I always love going to BRFC. Anytime I am in town visiting my family this box is always part of my trip. The owners are so nice and supportive and the coaches are top notch. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a great workout.

Fantastic experience: Such a great place run by such happy, loving people.

Fantastic experience: Love the owners and staff. They care about the community and the impact their making

Fantastic experience: Great place with great well thought out programming and coaching. Awesome kids class too!

Fantastic experience: Truly, BRFC cares most about its members and community. I've never met a group that cares more about the people that walkthrough the door and the journey they're on. It is not about them or their accolades, but the people who push themselves every day to be better. The growth you will achieve from BRFC goes beyond just fitness.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member at Broad Ripple Fit Club for two years and I can say without a doubt it is the BEST gym in Indy! I am a (non-CrossFit) coach myself- I have worked at gyms, I have been to other CrossFit gyms, I teach people fitness for a living, and I can tell you you will not find a more qualified, knowledgeable, and friendly staff anywhere. I did CrossFit for six months before I joined BRFC and the state of my strength/technique/cardio capabilities were laughable compared to what they are now. The coaches and owners genuinely care about your success and well-being inside and outside of the gym. I’ve never seen a community like this at any facility before- I met my two best friends at BRFC. Their handling of our safety during COVID-19 is unparalleled. Class size is limited (which also means more individualized instruction) and members have socially distanced squares to stay in while working out. The owners and coaches clean relentlessly and even keep random strangers from drinking from the outdoor hose to ensure our safety!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality I feel unexplainably grateful for the physical strength and community BRFC has given me. Stop reading this review, and just try it. Doesn’t matter what your current fitness level is—stop thinking and jump in. I promise you’ll be welcomed with open arms and lots of cheerleaders.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member of BRFC on and off since 2011 - the quality of coaching and interpersonal relationships has been unwavering. I’ve made my best friends at this gym, I have cultivated a body and mindset that I am proud to inhabit. I love the owners, Jeff & Jessi - they know each of their members, care for each of them, they celebrate our wins with us, they grieve our losses with us, they go through life with us! I’ve been floored by the cleaning and spacing precautions they reopened with since the pandemic, I would literally eat off of the floor. Classes are capped at 12 participants - with marked areas for each member to remain within while working out. Masks required when leaving assigned “box” to grab equipment, use restroom, etc. I love this gym!!!!

Fantastic experience: I joined this gym at the end of the summer for two main reasons: their emphasis on member health and safety with their stellar Covid-19 precautions and their commitment to social justice and equality as a business. Now that I've been there for a couple of months, I am extremely impressed with their high quality, intentional programming and the quality of the coaches. They build time into every workout to ensure that members are fully warmed up and fully coached on each part of the workout to come, and all are welcome and encouraged regardless of where we are on our fitness journey. I feel so well cared for as a member there! Above and beyond all of that, it's such a warm, friendly, and fun place with a beautiful facility in a great location. Highly recommended!!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality A great facility and awesome staff that will help you achieve your goals no matter what fitness level you’re at! Additionally having a full time job and kids, their scheduling options are more than accommodating so you can make time to get in the gym!

Fantastic experience: As someone who knew more about the bend & snap than I did a hang powersnatch, weightlifting and competitive gyms never seemed like “my thing”, until I attended my first class at Broad Ripple Fit Club. All of my preconceived notions of what this gym would be like immediately flew out the window once I met the coaches and they helped me learn the moves and worked with me from my level to grow stronger and perform the movements with stability and certainty, every time! IF you’re not a beginner, the classes and workouts are challenging and designed to make you work hard, without ever seeming impossible to achieve. PLUS, the gym was so clean, even before COVID, and now it’s like “eat off the floor clean.” I don’t use that description lightly, either! I’ve been able to make great friends who I can chat about things beyond our shared gym experiences. The coaches, Jeff, Jessi and everyone else involved with BRFC have become family. I want to challenge myself, challenge them and overall live a healthier life. I’m so thankful this community was introduced to me and that they’ve welcomed my loud, uncoordinated self into their family!

Fantastic experience: I love this gym. I was a little intimidated to join, but they were great! There is a beginners program that took a month to complete, but was WELL worth it. I loved being eased into things. The trainers are great and are super knowledgeable. Everyone in the gym is super friendly, as well. I lost about 15 pounds after my second month there, too. I'm hooked!

Fantastic experience: Love going to class. I always learn something different and have never felt better. Great supportive coaches and members. I was a beginner and they have taught me so much in the last six months.

Fantastic experience: I really enjoy this place. I was intimidated at first seeing all these people is amazing shape, but being half way through the best beginners program I no longer feel that way. The staff and fellow participants are encouraging and supportive. The instruction is clear and focused. And the work out are challenging, but it feels great to make progress and do things I never imagined I could. I highly recommend giving this place a shot.

Fantastic experience: I was in Indy for work and dropped in twice. Very friendly gym- the members included me right away and made me feel welcome. The coaches had very thorough warm-ups planned and gave modifications for anyone who needed. I will definitely drop-in again in the future, and I recommend BRFC to anyone!!

Fantastic experience: BRFC changed my life for the better. All the coaches are knowledgeable and help create the most amazing and supportive atmosphere I have ever experienced. Jeff and Jessi have done an amazing job transforming many lives and spreading positive vibes in everything they do. I moved out of state and miss everyone at the gym. For my personal success Joining a “CrossFit” gym was intimidating at first, like every new thing you do is.( coming from a college athlete) but the best beginners program quickly made me comfortable and not intimidated. The gym’s positivity IMO is their greatest asset. This comes from the coaches to every member. You can go up to anyone and I mean anyone ( coach or member ) and ask for advise and get tips / support. I weighed 250 when I started in Feb of 2017. I made the commitment going to the gym 5-6 days a week and when I left in December I was down to 205. I was happier, had more energy, and made many new friends that I dearly miss. Whether your struggling with exercise or nutrition. BRFC has all the tools and knowledge to get you on the right track. The first step is opening the door and walking in.

Fantastic experience: Anyone looking to change their life, continue their fitness, health & wellness journey, or drop-in to welcoming community for an effective workout BRFC is the place for YOU! The coaches are experts, know everybody's name, they make class fun, know how to effectively run a class, and have the capacity to work well with beginners, competitive athletes and everyone in between. The coaches always want what is best for the athlete, and will take the time to establish that with the individual. You will never feel like you are just being told what to do for an hour here when taking a CrossFit, BRX, or Olympic weightlifting class here. The facility is the cleanest facility I have ever been in, contains a ton of floor space, and has lots of equipment. I was never without what I needed for the training. BRFC's nutrition program is very hands on, and realistic. They will help you gradually adjust to permanent healthy nutrition habits, and are always an email of text away if you ever need to reach out. The owners are passionate about their community, are always putting efforts towards improving the business, and do things the right way. Jeff and Jessi are experts at what they do! There is a reason this is the longest standing CrossFit affiliated gym in Indiana.

Fantastic experience: As the first place I've tried Crossfit, BRFC has been an incredible experience. The workouts are challenging as expected, but I know I can count on other people to help cheer me on. The staff is incredible knowledgeable, professional and patient, as well as always upbeat and excited to help. As a newbie, I was pleasantly surprised coaches review the moves before every workout to make sure we're performing the work correctly. It's such a great community and is the first time I've ever been excited to workout in the morning.

Fantastic experience: Warning...This gym is infected with an energy that is positive and contagious. Crossfit can be an intimidating concept for an older individual but here age doesn't matter. The BRFC coaches are experienced, encouraging and engaged. I love it here!

Fantastic experience: This gym changes lives! There is something at Broad Ripple Fit Club for everyone and I always leave with a smile on my face. This place will improve you both physically and mentally and provide you with a community unlike any other!

Fantastic experience: Everything about this place is amazing. I got the recommendation from a friend who joined after leaving the former box we both went to and I'm so glad I walked through the doors. The facility is amazing: great set-up, equipment and probably the only place in Broad Ripple you can actually park at. I cannot praise the staff enough. Jeff, Jessi, Taylor, Fred, Shannon and Meg will make you feel welcome. Regardless of your athletic background you can assimilate and see results immediately. The community here is bar none the best I have ever experienced. Everyone comes together and is so friendly and supportive. Do yourself a favor and come to Broad Ripple Fit Club.

Fantastic experience: I started researching gyms because my teenage daughter needed some conditioning opportunities to strengthen her for the upcoming volleyball season. The schedule for Best Beginner would not work for her due to vball practice but I was intrigued and so I signed up. I have never been consistent with working out before. From the first day I loved BRFC. The top reason for the five stars is the staff. They work hard to make everyone feel welcome no matter their level. They recognize that the gym can be intimidating and the Best Beginner program is designed to help a beginner feel more at ease with the skills. The staff are very knowledgeable on the physical aspects but they also believe supporting the mental aspects too. The facility is clean and the location is convenient for Broad Ripple. They even have off-street parking which makes it easy to get to class. They have a range of class and open gym offerings so it is easy to plan for classes while keeping up with work and other commitments.

Fantastic experience: Won't find a better gym! Staff is very friendly and knowledgable, and they pass that along to every member. Everyone pushes each other to be their best and enjoy every workout!

Fantastic experience: Great facility and super staff. Been here two months and always look forward to my workouts. Best Beginner's program is very good, now doing BRX. I am stronger, have more endurance and feel great. The atmosphere is very positive, and accommodates all levels of abilities.

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love this place. I had concerns and doubts when I first started because crossfit seemed very intimidating and overwhelming to me especially when I was not in shape at all. But after only two weeks of training, I fell in love with it and immediately switched to unlimited classes. This community is beyond awesome. Everyone is so nice and friendly. The whole box is always filled with positivity, which I adore. Coaches are extremely knowledgable, helpful, and super approachable. whenever you have concerns and questions, they are always there for you! All in all, this place is fantastic!

Fantastic experience: Incredible facility recently updated with outdoor training space adjacent to the Monon Trail, new locker rooms with multiple showers, and the friendliest coaching staff that really know their stuff. Love it!

Fantastic experience: This gym has no judgement on those coming in and everyone is super friendly!! If you want to jump start your life in fitness, this is the place!!
