Ive been here since ~June 19 and I cant recommend it more. Extremely knowledgeable and supportive coaching staff as well as a friendly, supportive environment of people from all sorts of backgrounds. They offer student pricing, which is great. Worth every penny, because each day the workout is different, comprehensive, and easily scale-able to each individual & you always have a coach there to help with form and technique, plus the variety of class times is fantastic. I enjoy the friendly competition between members during workouts and love how I am always pushed to improve myself. I look forward to each class, and enjoy not having to put together my own workouts. I just need to show up, put in effort, and listen to my coaches (: Thanks to Coach Barry for running such a great facility!

Look no further! This is the CrossFit gym is for you.At the very beginning, Coach Barry asks you about your goals. He is truly dedicated to helping you achieve those.The coaches understand there are different types of athletes. They coach each one separately. They use what is best for the athlete while matching our personality and style. The coaches also discuss all aspects of a healthy lifestyle (sleep, nutrition, recovery, warmups).CrossFit intimidated me at first. But, this gym does not overemphasize competitiveness or highlight top athletes over everyone else. They coach and train to your individual level. They actually use The Level Method. Every single person can do each workout. It’s just scaled to your ability. How awesome is that?!This gym is neatly organized and very clean. It has a great layout and everyone takes care of the equipment. There are many different class times and even offer a lifting class Friday night!The members are friendly and become your CrossFit family. People of all levels workout here. You deserve the best. See you in the box!

There’s not enough good things I can say about this gym. The coaches are absolutely phenomenal. They work with you to become the best version of yourself. You are more than a number, you are family. Remember the show “Cheers”, well this is the “Cheers” of gyms. They know your name and are always glad you came!

I just moved to Indianapolis this year, and leaving LifeSport was one of the toughest things. I made lifelong friends, and the coaches and athletes were like family to me. I made some great memories here such as my first pull-ups, winning a competition, and getting strong as heck!Whenever I am back in town, I always drop in at LifeSport. I’ve dropped in at several new gyms since I moved. At many of them you walk out feeling like you are invisible. I assure you this will not be your experience at CrossFit LifeSport.Thank you Barry and coaches! You mean the world to me!

CrossFit LifeSport is a great place to workout and I have been super happy with the results. The gym is about improving the overall health and mobility of its members through fun, challenging, and varied workouts. And their location at Douglas & Central is super easy to get to from the expressway. If you are tired of the same old gym routine (like I was) then you should check this place out!!

Ive been at the gym for 16 months and love it. The coaches are friendly and the instruction is top notch allowing for maximization of the workouts without pushing to the point of injury. There is also an emphasis on nutrition, including numerous paleo cooking demonstrations throughout the year. The gym members are friendly, outgoing, and always willing to help. Ive seen nothing but positive results since joining. Ive stuck with the program longer than I have any other workout routine save distance running because of the quality instruction, results, and awesome people that I get to work out with every day!

Great gym with coach, Todd Ovall, who takes time to teach the right way to move and lift. Im in my late 60s and Todd scales the workouts to fit my fitness level. I have trained with Him for over 6 years now and I recommend this gym to anyone who wants to be able to be active in their 60s, 70s and 80s!The people who work out there are always encouraging each other and fun to be with. Im stronger and more fit than most people in my age group because of this gym.Crossfit is for everyone.

Ive been a Lifesport member for over two years now. Coach Todd is hands down the best, most experienced Crossfit coach in town. The programming is safe and extremely effective for ALL fitness levels. Crossfit Lifesport will help you reach your strength and conditioning goals in a fun and supportive environment. I cant recommend it enough!

Aside from Todds vast knowledge and experience as an efficient CrossFit coach, hes a very kind-hearted, down to earth guy who takes authentic care and personal investment in the overall health and wellness of the members at Lifesport. Hes pretty hilarious, too.

Review №31

I love both the variety & intensity of the daily workouts (WODS) so there is not the boredom factor that can happen with any exercise program. I used to run but I knew I needed much more of a whole body workout & Crossfit Lifesport provides it.Todd Ovall is an excellent coach & is very responsive each persons physical needs and age (Im 69). Youre always under Todds watchful eyes as the classes are small and very individualized; he knows what each member can do & helps you set your own goals. Also emphasized in the program is both proper diet and flexibility which in other programs may not be focused on.Another big advantage of CrossFit Lifesport is there is great support from the other members at the gym and on the CrossFit Lifesport Family Facebook page. It is really a complete support system. I could find cheaper exercise programs but none with all the benefits of CrossFit Lifesport so it is well worth it!

Review №32

I spent the last half of my 20s and the vast majority of my 30s with severe lower back pain, with some days hunched over in pain, and some days the pain so severe, I had to crawl to get to the bathroom. I had surgery January 2008 on my L-5 and S-1, diagnosed with degenerative disc disease. After following the doctors orders to a T during recovery, my quality of life improved 10 fold.Two years later, I started getting backaches again. I went to the surgeon, and he suggested more physical therapy as I needed to build up my core muscles. Previous attempts with pt with results that seemed temporary at best made me leery of investing money. I knew I needed something I could invest in for long-term benefits.I heard about this new gym in Toledo, CrossFit LifeSport (3128 Douglas). I met with the coach, Todd Ovall, in October 2010, and explained my situation. I was not very confident at first, but my determination not to be in that kind of pain again along with Coach Ovalls genuine encouragement, I kept coming back. Coach kept stressing functional movement. Each WOD was scaled to what I could do at the time. This is not a typical gym. The only competition is against your previous time. Every accomplishment, however small, is celebrated. How fast you do a movement is not as important as doing the movement correctly. The fellow athletes help create a family atmosphere. From the very first day, I was cheered and encouraged.Every day I step into that box is a learning experience. Along with functional movement, I have learned about nutrition, flexibility, stress management and proper sleep habits. Coach Ovall is always learning and seeking information to expand his knowledge to improve our lives. During every workout, he, or one of his capable assistant coaches, observes your movements and advises on strengths and areas of improvement.I am 43 years old and in the best shape of my life. I visited my surgeon on my 3rd year CrossFit anniversary. I reminded him he told me I would never be a weightlifter. I then told him all of my accomplishments in CrossFit. He was impressed with what I could do. Half of it was my determination, but half of it is equally credited to the coaching style and fellow athletes at CrossFit LifeSport.
