Frequently asked questions
The stuff people usually ask before their first class. If yours isn't here, just call.
I'm out of shape. Can I still start CrossFit?
Yes. Most of our members walked in feeling exactly like that. Every workout gets scaled to you, from the load to the movement itself, and our coaches start you easy and build from there. The only requirement is that you show up.
How do beginners get started?
There are three ways in. You can book personal training and get one on one coaching before joining classes. You can sign up for one of our challenges, like the 6 week Best Self Challenge. Or you can just come to a CrossFit for Beginners class. Our beginner track keeps rotating, so you can start any week instead of waiting for a fixed course.
How big are the classes?
Small. We keep groups tight so the coach can see every athlete, and with 18 individual workout stations nobody has to share equipment in the middle of a workout.
What happens in a typical class?
Each class runs about an hour. You'll do a warm-up, some technique instruction, the workout of the day (the WOD), and finish with mobility work. A coach leads the whole thing.
Who are the coaches?
Head Coach Jase Robinson is a CrossFit Level 3 trainer, and Program Director Dree McNear is a CrossFit Level 2 trainer and head coach of Rock Steady Boxing South Central Indiana. You can read more on the coaches page.
Can I drop in if I'm visiting Columbus?
Absolutely. We get a lot of drop-ins from people in town for work or training at Camp Atterbury. Create an account and sign the waiver before you arrive so you can get straight to the workout.
I have high blood pressure, diabetes or Parkinson's. Is this safe for me?
We work with people managing hypertension, type II diabetes and other chronic conditions all the time, and Rock Steady Boxing is built specifically for people with Parkinson's. Check with your doctor first, then tell your coach about your condition so your training can be set up around it.
Do you offer discounts for first responders?
Yes. Cops, firefighters, EMTs and active military train with us at a heavily reduced rate. Bring your ID. Details are on the memberships and pricing page.
How much does it cost?
Group memberships start at $99 a month and personal training starts at $75 a session. See the full breakdown on the pricing page, or call (812) 343-9237 for a plan that fits your schedule.
Do you help with nutrition?
Yes. Our challenges combine training with nutrition coaching, and we offer body composition analysis so you can track fat loss, muscle gain, hydration and visceral fat instead of relying on the bathroom scale.
What should I bring to my first class?
A water bottle, comfortable workout clothes and shoes with a fairly flat sole that you can lift and run in. A towel helps. Arrive about 10 minutes early so the coach can meet you.
Where are you and when are you open?
We're at 1460 Jackson St, Columbus, IN 47201. Hours are Monday to Friday from 5:00am to 7:30pm and weekends from 8:00am to 12:00pm. The schedule page lists class times.
Can I try a class before I commit?
Yes. Call or text Jase on (812) 343-9237 to set up a free workout or a no-pressure chat with a coach.
