Joe, Trenton, and really everyone were genuinely helpful and kind. They made things easy to understand and helped me scale WAY down to something actually approachable for someone who hasn't gone to a gym in 15 years. The friends and family week is a great introduction and I felt genuinely welcomed.

Had a great experience!
Joe is one of my favorite coaches. Always has a positive attitude and throughout the workout session he is always excellent keeping the pace and explains things well. I appreciate his tutorials and training.
It is my first month at CrossFit HighBar. Kyle makes sure I’m using proper technique for lifts and movements , for safety. She also assists me in deciding what weight to lift when doing progressions. Plus, she is encouraging and highlights my potential.
Kyle meets you were your at and challenges you to dig deeper.
All of the coaches at High Bar are super friendly and help however they can. I really appreciate that the gym listens to feedback and immediately addresses any concerns. Class programming is challenging but it also provides results quickly. Love being a member here.
This place has become like a second home and family to me! From the moment I walk in, there’s a warmth and connection that feels genuine and uplifting.

This community and coaching style make every workout feel purposeful and rewarding. I’m a huge fan!!!
A great workout today. The workout portion was continuous work hitting core muscle groups. The group is growing in numbers and getting to meet new members is always rewarding.
The class today was a fun one! Cassie was very instructive and encouraging towards everyone. I’m looking forward to more classes in the future.
Coach Briley did an amazing job! The routine was very challenging, but she made it simple to understand. Briley was also very encouraging to the other students and me as we worked out.
This is a great gym with great coaches!! Hard to find!!
Kyle always has a well organized workout for us. I love building my strength and mobility. I also love the camaraderie among everyone.
Since joining CrossFit High Bar I have noticed a significant improvement in my overall strength and endurance. The workouts are challenging but rewarding, and the community here keeps me motivated. I also appreciate how the coaches personalize the workouts to fit my needs, which has helped me avoid injury and stay consistent.
The Burgener!!! Having moved around different states and different affiliates due to work its often very common for affiliates to forget about proper barbell warm ups. These warm ups are so critical for progression in the basics of handling the barbell. Awesome coach and great experience thus far!
Great coaching. Loved the warmup and skill work. Gym was organized and super clean. Programming was amazing as well
Kyle is the G.O.A.T. of coaches at CFHighBar! She gives clear explanations of the movements, scaling options that hit the same stimulus and holds people accountable to movement standards!
Kyle is my favorite coach in the gym. She knows her stuff and changes up the routine of the gym. I loved that she did a strength for Saturday and that it was different from what we usually do. I wish I could go to all of her classes.
Joe is a great coach. He teaches not only the professions but also tells you the why behind the exercise. I walked in on day 1 with no knowledge but that quickly changed. Knowing that making sure you understand the moves and how to execute them properly is also a big plus in my books. Class was informative, motivating, and fun! Everyone was friendly and helpful. I’m so glad I gave it a shot.
I learn something that makes me a little better every single time! Thank you!
Coach Kyle is an excellent coach with great knowledge and leadership. She is always friendly and supportive the athletes / class. Coach Kyle always gives positive feedback when teaching everyone. Thanks for making this one of the best part of my day.
I love coach Briley’s energy! Very approachable and always willing to give tips. She is excellent teaching all ages. From little ones to teaching the life and longevity class.
Happy Birthday!
Great organization of time through warmup, clear on movements, very approachable, observed technique and clarified my purpose. Thank you!
Such a welcoming gym and coach! Thanks for all the help in my first class.
Vicky is very approachable and takes the time to explain each movement clearly, which makes a big difference when learning new exercises. During my classes with her, she noticed when my form was off and gently guided me to adjust, helping me avoid injury and get the most out of each workout.
How are you feeling after class? Great! We 'Gobbeled' up that workout. It was a lot of fun.
Very thorough and managed time well. Thanks for being welcoming during my drop in! I will be back each time I visit Eville.
Trent has a really good eye for technique. He has helped me with movements that I struggle with.
It was great to be back today! I’ve been on a hiatus for over a year and both Leslie and Kyle welcomed me back. Thanks for making me feel right at home!
Coach did great today, and she let's me run my mouth....lol. I enjoy the 5:30 and 8:30 classes because of the people. Although we are constantly talking, probably making coach mad, I feel like we stay on track pretty well, and are there for the same goal. I may or may not be SO much STRONGER than Coach Kyle so that also helps.
Very welcoming and interactive class from start to finish. The coach kept the energy up with a great choice of music that matched the pace of the workout perfectly, which made it easier to stay motivated. I was especially impressed by how she could switch seamlessly between English and Spanish, creating an inclusive atmosphere where everyone felt comfortable and engaged. Her clear instructions and encouragement made the exercises feel doable yet challenging, and I left feeling like I had truly accomplished something. This class at CrossFit High Bar - Gym in Evansville, IN isn’t just about working out; it’s about being part of a community that supports and pushes you.
Instructions were simple and clear and i was guided accordingly on the proper postures to maximize the lifts
Thanks for welcoming a beginner! Would definitely come back and I will recommend the gym to friends.
Cassie was great! Well organized and on time.
Joe is a great coach. Always makes you feel comfortable and included in class.
Briley was awesome in welcoming me to the gym. I was given a little tour , given instructions , corrected when I was wrong and gave an exceptional workout . 10/10
Coach Kyle is the best! She knows how to keep the class engaged and pays great attention to detail, especially when it comes to complex movements in the workouts. I’ve been part of the CrossFit community for over 10 years, and I’m still learning better ways to move and be more efficient in my workouts thanks to all our great coaches!
Very helpful on form
Very helpful n patient with me, TY!
Kyle is the best! She gives specific and helpful tips and encouragement every class.
Avery was very kind and helpful. This was my first ever CrossFit class, that alone my first time lifting weights like that.. she explained everything so well. The others tha were doing the workouts were also kind, once we were finished they went around and said great job etc. todays experience has made me want to go back!
She's an excellent coach!
Trent is a great coach! His feedback is constructive and very encouraging.
Great coach very professional!
I had a great class with Avery today and every time she coaches! She helps me with scales to complete the workout and still feel like I pushed myself!
Trenton greeted me before class and helped me feel welcome my first day back!
The first time experience I had was amazing! Not only was Kyle welcoming and encouraging but so was the whole class. We all even have a joke now!! I love it.
Julie is an amazing coach! She is one intuitive coach who understand the level of fitness and endurance of athlete, and breaks down complex movements into simple, actionable steps, ensuring safety while still pushing to achieve our personal best. I am just a beginner and she makes sure I build correct form of snatches, front & back squats, thrusters, wall-balls (so many other things, I can’t name them all here) and that I pay attention to form than weight or timing. Julie has be super motivating in every class I had with her. During WOD, she even helps adjust weights or encourage with right guidance. She genuinely cares and checks on me, even when am traveling so I keep up. She always had reminded me of my strength when I don’t believe in self and makes me perform more confidently. Honestly, with her words of encouragement and guidance, I look forward to keep working out and be a better strong person each passing day. If anyone looking for a coach who’s knowledgeable, fun, and genuinely cares about progress and overall health, one can’t go wrong with Julie Christian. She is beyond awesome!!
She’s the bomb . Com Thanks for all you do!
Love coming to classes and seeing Avery’s smiling face! She is great at coaching and makes sure to support everyone in the class.
The warm up was perfect for the WOD. Really appreciated the barbell trap smash. Hadn’t done that before, but I plan to use that weekly on my own. Great instruction on the different scales for hspu.
Really good class with a clean gym, friendly people, and knowledgeable coach. Super helpful how he laid out the scaling options and made sure everyone was doing what they should.
Joe has a way of explaining certain movements that help me grasp what I'm doing right or wrong.
Avery did a great job leading the class and taking control. She offered a thorough explanation of the movements in warm up and the skill work. Only suggestion would be to add some deadlifting points of performance on proper technique/positioning, but I understand that you were in a multi week cycle. Great job overall!
LOVE THIS GYM! Dropping in for a few weeks and they make me feel like fam!
Cassie made me feel welcomed and comfortable
Briley was easy to talk to and explained the exercises really well! I enjoyed being in her class!
Explained things clearly. Demonstrated proper body postion on equipment. Offered alternatives for a successful workout!
Always a great class. Kyle does a great job reviewing/explaining all the movements. Even though I’ve been going for awhile, I always learn and try to get better!
Very welcoming and helpful establishing a foundation with proper mechanics and form.
Fun day at Run & Chug! Thanks for a great facility and team to compete with.
He was responsive and attentive. He also has a good, positive, and welcoming attitude
Helped clarify how the workout was to work when I was confused
Kyle Reel? More like Kyle REAL cuz she’s the Realest. She’s a big time vibe and 5:30AM is crazy lit because of her and BriVegas
Briley is always very sweet and knowledgeable. Most of her workouts are extremely good and pushes you to your limit.
Avery did amazing as always! She is encouraging and motivating! She makes sure everyone has good form and pushes us to move our best!
I have been training at CrossFit High Bar for about ten months.. I believe I have improved my strength and cardio since starting.. Kyle always has a challenging workout planned… I look forward to working out with the others in the group.. Kyle is always observing our movements and making sure we are doing the exercises correctly to get the maximum benefit..
Kyle is great. She leads us by example. We see her passion for CrossFit in her own outstanding fitness level and personal dedication in all she does. We watch and learn from her, she encourages us to push ourselves above what we thought we were capable of. She is knowledgeable, teaching us proper form to avoid injuries, walking us through every aspect of the workout, and answering our many questions. The warmup, strength training, and workout of the day, are varied from one class to another and keep our body’s on wake-up mode. She is helpful, she modifies when needed for individual needs, and is our biggest cheerleader. Our Life and Longivity class is such a blessing. We have made friendships and improved our physical fitness. What I most love about Kyle is she doesn’t limit us, because we’re 50+, she has us do hard things, because she knows we can, and we are the better for it. She is our biggest cheerleader and cares about our fitness. Thanks, Kyle ❤️
LOVED IT! Thorough warmup, encouraging and engaged the whole time!! Looking forward to having her as a regular coach!! Really happy to be here!
She did a wonderful job and engaged the class!
Briley was super friendly and very welcoming for my first class. She explained the warm-up portion well and was very personable. It was a great first class!
Great. Good direction, always welcoming and encouraging.
Joe was friendly and welcoming. He offered good feedback and made sure everyone was comfortable and felt prepared before moving on.
Very thorough and attentive!
It was a really cool gym. Had every type of workout equipment that you would need for cross fit. The coach Kyle was very professional and lead the class with great excitement and enthusiasm. She did a great job with warming up the class and encouraging us during the workouts. I will definitely be taking another class.
Vicky is a great coach who encourages everyone to move at their own pace while still motivating you to push yourself in a way that feels comfortable.
Awesome as always! Super thorough and explains everything so well. I also got a great tip about using a hook grip for farmer’s carries to improve my grip. 🤗 I usually use a hook grip on a barbell, but never thought to try it on a kettlebell,it always felt a little weird. But it definitely helped me maintain my grip longer! Thanks Avery 😁
Very helpful!
Briley and Kyle are incredible coaches! I love this class and am continuing to notice visible results in all areas of my personal strength and fitness! Grateful to both Coach Kyle and Coach Briley!
I love having class with Avery! She gives good coaching cues, has high energy teaching, and adds some humor to class. She is great at celebrating your wins, no matter how small!
I love this CrossFit gym. I’ve been going to CrossFit hi bar since 2018. I learned so much from this gym. I love the community. I love the culture this gym creates. I love the coaches. At first I was so intimidated with the cool stuff they do. But they make it so approachable and doable. They genuinely care about you and will “meet you where you’re at.” I won’t be where I am in my fitness journey if not for this gym. 10/10 would recommend!
Avery is a great coach, always chill, always willing to help you scale if needed. She is not afraid to call you a psychopath for doing 100 doubles and a friend in the same sentence. 10/10 recommend going to her class if you’re new or OG.
Participating in Life and Longevity and being part of the CrossFit community has been a game changer for me since I joined. Coach Kyle is positive, supportive, and helpful guidance on proper technique during each session is invaluable, and I look forward to every class.
Kyle is enthusiastic and great at demonstrating what is expected of us. She really helps me especially to modify some of the movements.
Kyle did a fantastic job coaching today. She takes her time and goes through and explains the mechanics of each movement. She does a great job demonstrating the different variations or scaled versions of each movement as well
Super funny guy and breaks down each workout and movement to make it understandable and easier for beginners. Personable and very supportive.
How did Kyle do today? Let me paint the picture. The barbells were heavy, the music was loud, and the energy in the room was borderline electric. And in the middle of it all—there was Coach Kyle, part Jedi Master, part Drill Sergeant, part stand-up comic, making sure we didn’t collapse into a puddle of sweat and bad form. She wrangled the rowdy, hyped up the hesitant, and somehow still found time to coach me on my Tempo back Squats with the perfect mix of encouragement and “you can do this” side-eye. Everyone got their share of praise, correction, and momentum—just how a great class should be run. Kyle doesn’t just keep the class moving—she leads it with intention, energy, and an athleticism that makes us all want to push harder (even if we’re quietly dying inside). She’s responsible, ridiculously fit, and has the rare ability to make you laugh while you're wheezing through the last round of thrusters. 10/10. Would suffer through again. 👏
Briley is a great coach. She is attentive to the class’ needs and is super knowledgeable about movements and scaling varieties given skill level. As well, she genuinely cares about the people which is the cherry on top of it all.
Class was great as well as the coaching
Today and everyday has been motivating for me. I like the structure and instructions that I get from Kyle. The one on one advice I receive while in class is great and ensures me that I am getting the most out of each workout. Life and Longevity and Crossfit classes are the best fitness programs that I have found!
Kyle, you’re the best you’re a good motivator and you explain things well
Kyle is my favorite coach. She helps me scale things to my abilities while pushing me just outside my comfort zone. She can tell when my brain is telling me to give up on a workout and always encourages me to keep going. So grateful for her!
Kyle is great! She is very insightful about all the movements and how to do them correctly
Briley is an excellent coach and great person. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced athlete, Briley has the ability and tact to step in and give coaching tips, advice and assistance to make you better. Appreciate her passion and willingness as a coach!
Great!
Avery is always great and makes class fun, while putting up with our shenanigans 😜
