CrossFit^® Dog Fight

Fantastic experience: Awesome community for any fitness level. Everyone is family at Crossfit Dog Fight. Excellent coaches that are knowledgeable in all areas of Crossfit as well as biomechanics. If you're a beginner, On-ramp courses provide a nice foundation for basic Crossfit movements and exercise. If you're looking for something new, exciting, and challenging check it out!

Fantastic experience: I was a drop in from out of town. The coaches and members were all so friendly. They have a beautiful facility and I highly recommend checking them out!

Fantastic experience: This is the most well-balanced program I have ever been apart of since joining crossfit in 2020. Ive been with 4 gyms over the past 2 years (I used to move around for work) and can honestly say Matt's coaching and his program is superior to every other place I've been to. He just knows more than the rest. He's a terrific coach, which is synonymous with being a good teacher as well. I have learned a lot over my past few months since joining. Mobility is (slowly) getting better, and those lingering aches and pains are starting to subside due to being consistent with Matt's program, and of course I am getting stronger as well.. He has established a fun and positive culture where everyone feels welcomed free to work out as hard as they are willing to push themselves. He says it, you do it. That's the kind of trust you have in a coach like Matt and the rest of the team here at Dogfight. Come check it out!

Fantastic experience: Dropped in here while I was visiting from out of town and had an awesome experience. Great facility, friendly people, and solid coaching.

Truly an inclusive environment where each workout is tailored to best fit your needs. Coaches are responsive, adaptable, and proactive and are there to help you every step of the way.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member for the last 4+ years to DF and i feel like this is where i always wanted to be. From Johnny greeting you to all the coaches, and of course the Newmans, and the best members, this place had changed my life in so many ways. We have the best in town. I am a better person, mom, teacher, friend, wife because of CFDF. You’re missing out if you don’t join us!

Fantastic experience: CrossFit DogFight combines a competitive athletic atmosphere with genuine friendship and fun. They are also incredibly supportive of each member, regardless of their fitness stage. You can be an experienced Crossfitter, entirely new to the sport, recovering from an injury, or 8 months pregnant, and this gym will have a spot for you!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going for about 9 months and it’s so much easier to stay consistent than a normal gym because the community of people are fantastic. There’s no ego, everyone from all different levels are just giving their best and that’s all that matters. You have a question, want someone to check your form, need some ideas to do at home? The coaches have you.

Fantastic experience: I joined Dog Fight and was immediately impressed. The coaching is excellent. I feel I’ve learned and progressed so much in a short time. The community feel is evident when you walk in. Everyone is supportive. I’d highly recommend joining!

Fantastic experience: This is a truly wonderful and inviting gym! I was really anxious to begin CrossFit when I first started about 5 years ago. But as soon as I started I loved it! I enjoy the workouts and the community at this gym. My husband and I have continued to stay members and have even began to bring our 1 year old to play in the kids area. We love this place so much we have recommended it to many friends and family members! All of our immediate family members have become members when they lived in the fishers area.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality I love the support and camaraderie here! Coaches and students are super welcoming:). They definitely work you to your full potential here with emphasis on Olympic lifting with proper form. You will definitely be challenged and never bored or comfortable in your workout routine. You will just get stronger!

Fantastic experience: I did a drop in on a trip to Indianapolis. The facilities are top notch and the early morning crew was friendly. Will definitely work out here again the next time I’m in town.

Fantastic experience: Life changer. I'm in my sixth year here and this place has become a second home. Amazing coaches and a tight knit member community from a variety of backgrounds. Good chance you'll be in a class with a medical professional, entrepreneur, sales guy, car guy, stay at home mom, or student. Everyone works hard and encourages. No egos. Safe, clean and great fun. The best hour, or more, of my day.

Fantastic experience: Man oh man these guys are the REAL DEAL!!! If you are interested in CrossFit or want to try something different with your training or even become healthier, they’ll help you out. No matter what level you are, everyone is super nice and treat you as an equal. NO LIE. The place has a garage gym style that has amazing equipment!!! The coach’s ACTUALLY CARE and KNOW THEIR STUFF! They will help you out and adjust to accommodate your needs. Go ahead and sign up, you won’t regret it!!!!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Quality Great workouts, community and accountability! All the workouts are accessible to anyone of all levels. You'll always be challenged and encouraged along your journey.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Quality Absolutely love this place! Came in randomly on a Groupon, and fell in love! Great coaching staff, great programming, and truly great people! The community instilled such a passion for CrossFit in me, and I made lifelong friends. I only left because I moved out of state. Still go back when visiting home! ❤️

Fantastic experience: We had a wonderful experience at this gym. A great space, super clean and a awesome coach. Coach Matt lead the class from start to finish and everyone was so friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend!!

Fantastic experience: Incredible attention to detail on workouts. Family oriented environment. Everytime I finish a workout I can feel the difference. The staff are just great people who truly want to see you win!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Quality The greatest people and the most intelligent and personable staff members. Tried something new and was hooked after giving it some time. Crossfit does cost, but you need to think about what you value your health at. This will give you your value.

Fantastic experience: In late 2018, I began to try to find a CrossFit "box" near the State Road 37/96th Street area. Dog Fight stood out from the other three boxes I visited because Matt, the owner, has a master's in kinesiology (study of the mechanics of body movement) and he is constantly in the gym/classes talking, praising, and correcting the participants form. Whether you are a seasoned athlete or a weekend warrior, you absolutely SHOULD care about your form while you exercise as it makes ALL the difference. The people are friendly and welcoming and diverse in age, gender, and dedication level. Whether you want to CrossFit the rest of your life or just improve your body in some area, you definitely want Matt to guide you through that endeavor!

Fantastic experience: The Dogfight facility is top notch. There is a ton of room and plenty of equipment for any and all types of fitness. The space is always clean, tidy, and kept in exceptional condition. Additionally, the dogfight family is incredible! Being new to the area and never before attending a CrossFit class, I was instantly welcomed with open arms. I not only have made great strides in my fitness and health journey, but have made lifelong friends through Dogfight Fitness. I highly recommend coming in and seeing what it is all about!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality This gym has a wonderful community of people and great coaching staff. If you are looking to make lifestyle changes, get fit, and learn proper technique with gymnastics/olympic lifting/strength training/conditioning, come to Dogfight Fitness and Barbell Club. Proud to be a part of this gym!

Fantastic experience: I have been a member at CFDF for about 3 years and can not express how much I love this place. It is my daily escape from reality where all that matters are friendships and workouts. The coaching is spectacular and there are options for people at all fitness levels and age ranges. When I started I had no clue what I was doing and that was just fine. You get to learn something new everyday and you are able to challenge yourself mentally/physically in a supportive environment where everyone wants to see you succeed. If you are looking for an outlet to improve your overall health and belong to a fun community I highly suggest checking it out!!

Fantastic experience: I was a collegiate athlete (D3 Soccer) but not much of a gym rat. I approached Dogfight skeptically through a few friends' suggestions, expecting to to be put off by weird, screaming bodybuilders or the monotony of weightlifting. I found neither. Dogfight is an organization that fosters personal relationships between coaches and athletes alike. Despite hosting a number of elite athletes, who trounce my workout scores, there is a tangible sense of humility and friendliness between all members. I've also greatly enjoyed the style of CrossFit, including the strength component, mixed with cardio and development of technical and gymnastic skills. I feel physically and mentally engaged everyday. The gym offers a 1-week free trial, and I'd highly recommend it.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality I've been a member at CFDF since the early days, 8+ years. This is where I go to make me a better father, husband, and son. Staying healthy and fit is a bonus. The community feel is amazing here. The coaching and facilities are equally as awesome. Stop in and join us! You won't regret it!

Fantastic experience: Matt Newmann, the owner, and all of his coaches love their athletes and do a great job teaching and allowing for growth They create an environment for each individual to thrive at their individual level and help them reach their individual goals I have been a member here for almost 7 years and have loved every minute It’s one big family and I love it

Fantastic experience: I started crossfit in August 2016 and I switched from a different box to Dogfight in June 2018. I receive constant feedback from coaches and feel very supported by other members. I'm very happy I made the switch and look forward to every opportunity I get to be with the community!

Fantastic experience: Changed life. Essential part of daily routine. Going for over 5 years. More club than gym. Wonderful owners. Knowledgable coaches. Hilarious & fun members. More laughing than most comedy joints. Real camaraderie. Family. Endless support and acknowledgment. Never go anywhere else. Looking for a place to improve your fitness while having fun at the same time? Look no further.

Fantastic experience: Great community here. I felt like one of the crew almost immediately. That type of atmosphere only comes from the great coaches and owner, Matt. I was pretty much brand new to CrossFit, but after just two months, 3 classes a week, I’m truly seeing results.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality This is the place to achieve your fitness goals! Fantastic coaching and supportive people to workout with. I lost 30 pounds of fat by working out here & dialed in nutrition. Fun, challenging, encouraging fitness.

Fantastic experience: We moved to Indianapolis from Phoenix in Aug 2019. In search of cross-fit gym I tried couple of gyms near to Castelton area. Loved CFDF from day one. Very good gym, all the equipment which you need. Coaches are very good. I remember this place because I got my DBs at this place. Hurray!!!They have professional athletes as well as below average athletes like me. Mix crowed like this makes very good community. Spending time at athlete lounge and Coaches meeting every Thursday were amazing. CFDF people were the only friends I had in Indy. Very nice and helpful people. I will miss this place. Thank you CFDF and specially Matt to make our stay comfortable and healthy.

Fantastic experience: Dropped in for the first time tonight and the atmosphere is fire, the coaching is on point, and the workout was awesome. If you’re in the area, looking for a place that will help you make a change and help you stick to it, check this place out. I’m willing to bet you won’t regret it.

Fantastic experience: My daughter and son-in-law were bugging me to come and try out Crossfit Dogfight so I signed up for a month with the idea that I would drop out after that month was over. That was 20 months ago and needless to say I love the place. The coaching staff there is a really good team that gets to know people and maximize ones ability. The members are super supportive and motivate each other to do better. It's like a family there. I have come such a long way and feel that they will continue to help me be better going forward. Age (I'm 58), gender or ability doesn't matter. They work very hard to scale all workouts so you get the most out of it and give you the opportunity to improve. When I started I could do 1 or 2 pullups and the other day did three rounds of 30 in the workout. If you thinking about Crossfit this is a good place to give it a try.

Fantastic experience: This is an amazing place! I joined this affiliate over a year ago when I lived five minutes away, and even though I've moved farther away (30 minutes) I still go to this one. All the members and coaches are friendly and welcoming. What I really love is the physiological reasoning behind each day's programming, which they explain at the beginning of class. They provide you with numerous scaling options and -- as someone who has been injured for over a year -- they are accommodating when it comes to injuries. In addition, this gym provides top-notch Olympic weightlifting classes three times a week. As an unlimited-class member, it comes with the membership.

Fantastic experience: Love this place. Matt and Angie are fantastic coaches. The workouts are tough but completable (most of the time). My favorite thing about this place is the people, the other folks working out. Lots of types, many far more experienced, some very new but all part of the team, all chanting each other on. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I started with a groupon. I wanted to be in a place where the coaches care enough about techniques, correct form, ect. I was impressed after my first day. Matt and the other coaches are knowledgeable, supportive, friendly, humble, competitive, cheerful, the best part is that you feel like home. The rest of the team ( non coaches ) are friendly they welcome you with open arms and a smile. I'm in my second month and hope to stay for years.

Fantastic experience: I love the community I found at CrossFit Dog Fight. Matt and the coaches are very friendly and are always pushing you to do your best. Although the box may be a little small, there is a lot of equipment and the coaches always make sure everyone has enough room to do the WOD while being safe.

Fantastic experience: Known Matt for years and came to him for post surgery recovery. He is exactly what I needed so pumped to go on this journey. Creating a better version of myself. helped my find my health and keep it. crushing goals with a great box environment.

Fantastic experience: Great place, great people! I’ve been going here for over four years. I love that the workouts are different every day. I’ve met some great people working out here and turned out to be awesome source of networking. Everyone is friendly and the staff is very welcoming. Very accommodating for scaling options for all workouts. I never imagined I’d be doing some of these lifts/wods at age 43! They stay involved and support the local community. Proud to say that I work out here!

Fantastic experience: CFDF is an awesome community. The coaches make everyone feel welcome and really put in the time and effort to teach you proper mechanics and keep you safe. It’s a great community to be apart of.

Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough about the community in this gym. CrossFit is known for the communities they create within their gyms, but this gym has taken that to a new level. The coaches genuinely care about the personal goals of each and every member. Whether your goals are to build muscle, lose weight , do a pull up or just look good naked, Matt and his team can help you make that happen. I am so thankful I found CrossFit Dog Fight, my life has been forever changed. Not just in the gym but in everything I do, I am better because I start my day with these awesome people!

Fantastic experience: This is a great place with an even better atmosphere! The coaches are super knowledgeable and helpful. I have learned more about proper technique in 6 months here, than I did throughout my entire collegiate career. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Great group of people who benefit greatly from the consistent coaching staff. Coaches are relatable and approachable which makes everything regarding your goals more attainable with the most efficient path. The members are genuine and cool which makes working out enjoyable.

Fantastic experience: Hands down best gym I’ve been to! All the coaches are extremely educated and patient, never make you feel bad for not knowing a skill, and always help you improve! The community is unreal; everyone welcomes you with open arms like your family and comes together when someone is in need. I have met some great friends here, and no matter what time I go I feel like I’m part of their crew! As long as I live in Indianapolis I will be at CFDF, no doubt about it!

Fantastic experience: Have been a member for just over a year now, and the biggest surprise is how much I've come to enjoy, and benefit from - and sometimes rely on - the social part of being a member at CFDF. When I started a year ago, I thought I'd just stick to the workouts and not really get into being chatty or friends with people at "the gym." I just wasn't looking for that, and that was, and still is, certainly ok. What I slowly came to realize is that if I was just myself, and let whatever was to happen just happen naturally, the social part of it is a HUGE benefit. There are people of all sorts of ability and experience, and we ALL just want to be better versions of ourselves. To that end, we encourage each other big-time, and that's been a huge benefit to me. We all know struggle, and not being able to, and working HARD, and then being able to. The support is amazing. I've stuck with this longer than I ever stuck with any past gym membership. For me, it started out as just working out, and then became a hobby, and now it's become a really important part of my life because what I get in return is added good times (it's fun at the box!), patience, strength, confidence, I'm better at work, I'm a better husband, better dad, etc.. I love CFDF - 100% honest truth. Over the past year I've improved a LOT, and so much credit goes to the people - AND the coaches - coaches are REALLY good - seriously; have been told by people that have been members at other boxes that coaching is NOT the same everywhere. CFDF is worth every penny.

Fantastic experience: Did 1 month of Crossfit here so far, and I must say the coaches are all at a very high level. They encourage proper form and technique, and they make sure to give everyone personal hints and tips during class! On top of this, even with the winter mess out there, the gym is kept tidy and clean by the staff!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic place. First CrossFit gym I've been to that focuses so heavily on the mechanics and allowing each individual to progress at their own speed. The coaches are what make it great, though!
