My husband and I are in town visiting family and we dropped in at Notch 8 this morning for a CrossFit class. This was my first time dropping in anywhere, and I'm SO glad we found Notch 8! Spectacular facility, really great coaching (thanks Danielle!), and very friendly community. If I lived in the area I would definitely become a member! Thank you Notch 8 crew for a fantastic experience!
My wife and I dropped in during holiday travel, and we were more than impressed with the welcome from Andrew/Danielle and their amazing facility! Highly recommend for local/traveling athletes of all skill levels. Keep grinding!
I just recently joined a couple months ago. I’m 45 years old and just coming off knee surgery . The coaches here have been amazing. They’ve helped me correct my form on almost everything. The gym itself is huge so there is plenty of room to workout. The athletes here are so supportive and are always cheering everyone on. Can’t wait to see where I’m at a year from now
Great people - great programming, lot of resources.
One of the very best CrossFits I’ve visited. Fantastic vibe in a killer gym. Reminded me how CrossFit used to feel back in 2012. Worth an extra drive.
Terrific gym with a truly welcoming, wonderful community for all abilities.

I started going to Notch8 when I first moved to Indiana. The coaches and community are amazing and extremely supportive. Could not recommend enough!
This gym is amazing! Dropped in for two classes while traveling, and not only is the staff extremely nice and welcoming, but the facility is very spacious and stocked with equipment (literally a crossfitters dream!). The coaches were very knowledgeable, did demo’s for all the movements and made sure it was a great workout for everyone. Could not recommend this gym more!
The Burn classes are my favorite! It’s so nice to not have to plan a workout. Just walk in, say hi to all your friends, and sweat a little (or a lot)!
I did drop in 3/24 the box was excellent with awesome coaches, members and owner with Mayhem programming and a huge space with plenty of nice equipment, on top of that I left my grips accidentally there and then left town and the owner was so generous to ship them back to me. It’s box’s like this that make you so proud to be part of the CrossFit community.
Great knowledge from the coaches. A truly welcoming community. There are many fun events that help not only build your fitness but also relationships with other members. Crossfit seems intimidating but Notch8 really is for everyone whether overweight, just beginning or in your 90s. The effort you make and how hard you work is dependent on you and what you want to do.

Crossfit seems intimidating but Notch8 really is for everyone whether overweight, just beginning or in your 90s. The effort you make and how hard you work is dependent on you and what you want to do. There is no judgement, only encouragement of progression and overall well being/fitness. I highly recommend this group. Less
Every time I go in to train all the folks in there seem to be one big happy family. They encourage each other and really push each other to do their best. I am just beginning my journey and when I see the diversity of ages doing this I know I can do it. Great gym and coaches!!
Great place to take your fitness up a notch!
Notch 8 has truly changed my life. I didn’t work out at all before coming here and a CrossFit gym looked so intimidating! Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. The coaches are so helpful with scaled movements that I can do and workout alongside those that have been doing this much longer than me. No one cares that you can’t do the same weight or movement as others, they’re just excited you’re t... More
Notch 8 has truly changed my life. I didn’t work out at all before coming here and a CrossFit gym looked so intimidating! Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. The coaches are so helpful with scaled movements that I can do and workout alongside those that have been doing this much longer than me. No one cares that you can’t do the same weight or movement as others, they’re just excited you’re there! They have lots of extra support like personal training and an on-site nutritionist. I’ve lost weight & gained muscle, but most importantly I’ve gained the ability to easily lift my kids in and out of the car, play with my kids at the park, and lift bigger items around the house. Trust me when I say, if I can do this, ANYONE can do this. Less
Great atmosphere and top notch coaching!! Whether you are ready to start your fitness journey, training to dominate your next competition, or somewhere in between…this community is definitely worth a try!!
Great facility to start your fitness journey! No matter your age or your fitness level, you will find a class that is for you. With great coaches, different options and classes throughout the day that can fit into your schedule.
Dropped in for two months and now i dont want to leave. Best place to train. great workout plans, broke 3 PRs in 1 month; but even better community, people made me feel integrated since day one.

Cool gym. Knowledgable coaches, friendly members, nice equipment. Great environment to get healthy.
Coaching is great, workouts are challenging, people are encouraging. I'm happy I joined and look forward to being in the gym every day
I love the community and personal attention from coaches and other members!
Notch 8 has the best and most knowledgeable coaches I've ever experienced in a CrossFit gym.

Notch 8 has the best and most knowledgeable coaches I've ever experienced in a CrossFit gym. I've been a member of many gyms all across the country in the last 12 years and these coaches are by far the best I've encountered. They really support their community with monthly challenges, free community workouts, and other events to support local non-profits. They offer more open gym time than I've ever known a box to offer. They promote working on skills before/after classes and they sometimes program skill work into the workout hour. They also offer one-on-one personal training. If you've never done CrossFit, they'll do some one-on-one sessions with you to get you familiar with the moves and make certain your form is good. They have classes geared towards all ages/fitness levels so your whole family can come! They also have classes or open gym all day long, so you can always get a workout in. The Legends and Burn classes are awesome! The facility is nice and they keep it clean! There's even a Lululemon store on-site. I'd highly recommend checking out a free community workout on a Saturday or just emailing them to let them know you want to try a specific class. They'll definitely help you reach your fitness goals and you're sure to love the community. Less

Notch8 Athletics is one of the best gyms I've ever been a part of. The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and motivating. The coaches here can help you apply your fitness need outside of the gym. They helped me achieve my five-year goal of finishing a Spartan Ultra (31+ miles, 11k elevation gain/loss, 60+ obstacles) this fall. Their secret sauce is in the community. They built my fitness and confidence gradually. They created a personalized training plan for me that took into account my strengths, weaknesses, and goals. The team here also provided me with the guidance and support I needed to stay motivated and on track. I have found that the coaches at Notch8 are truly passionate about helping their clients succeed. They go above and beyond to make sure that everyone is getting the most out of their training. I'm so grateful for their help and support. If you're looking for a coaching program that will help you achieve your fitness goals, I highly recommend you join the family. Less
I dropped in for a workout at Notch 8 while in town on business. It's a very friendly crossfit community and a great workout for any new or experienced crossfit members. Daniella is an excellent instructor!
Between the coaches and supportive community, this is the best gym in Hendricks county!
great coaching and good community, best gym in avon
Very nice gym, great coaches, and community. I felt very comfortable dropping in. I will be back when I’m in town!
The absolute best place, people & coaching!
Best gym I’ve ever experienced! Great community, the absolute “non judgmental” gym there is! 💕 I’ve been a Notch8er since August 2016.

I’ve been coming to Notch 8 for a couple of years now. I absolutely love it here! The coaches are amazing and it’s always a great time!

Notch 8 Athletics changed my life! I have been doing crossfit for almost 4 years now. I have made tremendous strides to better health with the help of the coaches and members at this gym. Crossfit aside, nutrition is also just as important in your journey to better health. I recently was told that my hemoglobin A1C was elevated and that if I didn't change my diet, I ran the risk of developing diabetes. I am 5'1'' and 115 lbs, not overweight at all, but I was eating all the wrong things. Notch 8 introduced me to a nutritionist who has significantly helped me make better food choices and I have seen a major change in the way that I feel and look after just 4 weeks. I highly recommend this gym and all the people in it. I have gained lifelong friends and I look forward every single day to seeing their faces. The comradery is second to none, I promise you. I LOVE NOTCH 8!!!! Less

I ❤️ notch 8!! The coaches are amazing. The members are like family. There are a variety of classes and programs to fit everyone.
Notch8 is phenomenal!! No matter what fitness level you are at you will fit in. All the coaches,members and the owners are very welcoming. Top notch equipment, clean gym!!! Highly recommend!! Check them out!!
I started attending classes here a couple of months ago and I could not be happier. Before this I did F3 (outdoor bootcamp workouts) for three years.

I started attending classes here a couple of months ago and I could not be happier. Before this I did F3 (outdoor bootcamp workouts) for three years. Then I moved to Avon and tried to start my own F3, but it didn't take off. After losing all my energy and motivation and excitement during half a year of trying to make it work, I decided I might as well join a gym and go do boring gym stuff. I am pumped about how wrong I was. The people are awesome, very friendly and open. The coaches have the perfect blend of intense and supportive. The classes themselves are great. I've never really done free weights before and it turns out I love it. The equipment is in good condition and get updated all the time. When weight plates break they get replaced with new ones, and the broken ones get used to weigh down stationary equipment, or they go on the sled. There are also lots of interesting niche equipment that doesn't get used often, but when that kind of cross-training is needed, nothing else will do. In other news, in the last three months I lost a notch on my belt while also gaining 10 lbs of muscle. Less
Notch 8 is for anyone! Most supportive community/family that will push you to be your best self!
I have been a member for nearly a decade! It’s that amazing of a place! The culture is amazing, the coaches are fun and great at improving us, and the facility as well as the equipment are in excellent condition!!
This CrossFit gym has it all!! The best coaches, equipment, members, class options, and programming for ALL ages and abilities!!
Notch 8 is a great place for both novice and experienced CrossFit athletes. Coaches are attentive and will help athletes where they are in their fitness journey. You will be challenged to find a better group of people to work out with and it is what keeps me coming back.
I love Notch 8 Athletics! I started working out here around 2 1/2 years ago and I love it here. The coaches are amazing and motivational. I get an amazing workout every time!
I joined Notch 8 about 6 months ago after working out at home for 2 years because of COVID. I had previously belonged to another gym for 5 years and didn't think anything could compare, but I was so wrong. Notch 8 has THE BEST members who welcome everyone that walks in the door.

This community is top notch and can't be beat. The friendships I've made in such a short amount of time hold me accountable to show up, encourage me to be my best self, and I'm always laughing because we have a good time while we're working hard! The programming is challenging but doable for any fitness level. They offer many class options and there is always someone there every day. The owners listen to their members and are constantly updating equipment, adding in new programs or challenges, or finding ways we can give back as a gym to our community. I recommend Notch 8 to anyone that lives in the Avon and surrounding areas or who is in town and needs a gym to drop in to! I regret not joining sooner! Less
Notch 8 Athletics is such a great place with excellent instruction, professional leadership, and a supportive community of people working together to better their overall health and well being! Our family has been a part of this gym for years and I would highly recommend it for all skill levels! You won't find a better or more supportive community!
I switched from another box to Notch 8 after my previous box closed. It has been amazing to watch the Notch 8 community grow. I absolutely rely on the group of other individuals who show up and support each other. Seeing the number of people attending “free Saturdays” is amazing. I strongly encourage others to stop by, check it out, and drop in!!
Newbie fitness"er" here. I've been attending Notch8 since last fall. I am very intimidated by weights and equipment. But my first time there, I was so welcomed. All the coaches are great! I love that they offer a "fundamentals course" for those new to weightlifting. They ensure your form is good before picking up a real bar. I need that.

I have been a member at Notch 8 Athletics for a little over 4 years now. Not only do I go in every day knowing I’m going to get a good workout in, I also go in knowing I will receive the best coaching, support, and kindness a gym could offer. These people have grow to be my family!
Dropped by for the first time today—great workout and a high energy, motivating atmosphere! Everyone was so welcoming and nice, I felt right at home. Have been looking for a CrossFit gym in this area and am so glad I found this place! They sell Lululemon and mtn ops, which is a nice perk.
Not only is it a great workout but the people are amazing.
Notch 8 is an amazing community of people who all help each other reach their health and fitness goals. This is a place you will feel welcome, valued and encouraged. The owners have done a remarkable job creating a caring community while providing top level coaching and programming for all fitness levels and goals. I am grateful to have Notch 8 in my community!
I felt welcomed the minute I stepped in! Love the coaches!
My wife loves working out here
Awesome facility!! Great equipment and knowledgeable coaches!! Everyone is very welcoming!! 🙌🏻 WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
EDIT:Without warning, removed a coach my husband and myself via text messages. She keep a guy who harassed myself and my 2 year old son.
Dropped in over the weekend while I was in town for the race. Had a great experience the coaches and members made me feel right at home. Highly recommend anyone looking for a great gym with a good community environment.

A second home for me. I love these people abs I love this place:
Excellent coaching. Energetic members. A great time.
Excellent coaching and members that cheer you through the workouts.
I am working on 5 years at this amazing gym & I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else! The coaches & community are the best in the business.
Very open and welcoming gym!
Great place that is welcoming of all levels of fitness! You have to come to have a good time and want to push yourself (whatever that means to you). You can go to any class, but the 9:30 class is the most fun!!
Amazing gym with great coaches and members. CrossFit can be intimidating for a newbie, but they make it so fun, you really only compare yourself to your own progress. Highly recommend!!!
Amazing coaches and supportive environment. I love feeling successful and stronger!
This is a great gym that really focuses on individual specific needs/goals
Soooo happy to be back in the gym. The coaches are awesome!
I dropped in for a week while I was in town. Great ownership and coaching at Notch 8 Athletics. Would recommend to anyone on the west side of Indy. Great place with great people!
I dropped in for a week while on vacation to get some Oly work done. It's a great facility. All the coaches were very welcoming to me as a drop in and very friendly as well. if I lived in the area, I would definitely look into joining their barbell club and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a place to drop in.
Great coaches, everyone is like a big family
I have been to three workout places in avon and this place is the best by far.
Great workouts with great coaches who help you adjust workouts just for you.
Great place! Love the kindness and caring this place shows to each individual!
First time here, not a first-timer at Crossfit, it was amazing!! I felt welcome and the workout was great. It did really feel like family here. I could be myself and workout as hard or easy as I saw fit. Highly recommend.
Thanks for letting this Okie drop in at your Crossfit class and burn off calories from PRI happy hour and travel stress! Coach was top "NOTCH"... see what I did there. Super friendly peeps! Highly recommend!
Awesome facility. Great coaches. Love this box.
The owner, Esther, is amazing! Not only is my body transforming, my entire outlook on my health and food has changed. She is amazing! Everyone at the gym is so kind and encouraging! I love going!
Great time stopping in! Super friendly and amazing well kept facility. Thanks!
Dropped in for a crossfit class from out of town - Esther greeted us and made is feel right at home. Great workout with EXCELLENT coaching from Zeke! This place has a lot to offer - not just cross fit. Coaches are invested in your wellbeing and regular members in class were very helpful and welcoming. Highly recommend!
Notch 8 has an awesome atmosphere, with very welcoming and knowledgeable coaches!
Crossfit is a true love of mine but when you couple that love with amazing, dedicated & knowledgeable coaches & athletes, it just makes everything better. This is a top NOTCH gym! Every single coach is spectacular!! They also have a barbell club that is just as amazing! The coach is energetic & full of passion along with the athletes that attend.
Dropped in today to try out a class. Absolutely loved it. Excited to start training full time with Notch 8! Thanks Coach Sam for a great class and modifying for me and thanks to the athletes for making me and Talia feel so welcome! See you tomorrow!
This is a completely different type of working out for me. I was not sure I could it but with the excellent coaching staff I’m accomplishing more than I ever thought I could. It truly is like a family. Everyone is so nice and helpful! Give it a try!
Great, great place - can't recommend this enough. From the regular workouts of the day (WOD's), to the personalized touch from individual trainers, this place has really made a difference for me. One year ago, doctors told me my running days were over. Now, I'm running, doing squats, and feeling so much better. Owe this 100% to the Notch8 crew!
Great people and great atmosphere! JD was super nice and welcoming. I had a blast lifting with their team and look forward to many more sessions with them �

I've been doing personal training at Notch8 for a few weeks and am in love with this gym. Fantastic workouts, great great people, and a truly positive and encouraging atmosphere.
Notch 8 Athletics has become a true game changer for our whole family. We love the variety of classes and coaches! This place is so much more than a gym, it's also a family. Too notch coaches and great programming.
This is the best box around! Great coaches, great community! You will not be disappointed!
Good group of people. Thanks for making my 5:15 am drop in welcoming.
Finally completed the On Ramp course and what a short journey it was! Solid coaching and a great community to boot. Excited for my future with this gym!
Awesome people and coaches! Great community to be apart of!
Great trainers and gym!
