Ethos Colorado Training Center

If you're looking for a supportive and fun gym environment to build your strength and improve your athletic performance, look no further than Ethos.I started training with Margaret in 2018 almost a year after my first baby was born. Margaret helped me rebuild my strength, balance and stability and was kind and patient as I slowly progressed. In 2020, I had my second baby, and after a difficult pregnancy and postpartum period (plus a pause during the pandy), I returned to Ethos in the spring of 2021. This time, thanks to my prior work with Margaret and her team, I felt much more confident in the gym and had a solid base to build on.I've been consistently working out at Ethos ever since and honestly have never felt stronger or healthier. Not only has my program helped improve my fitness, but I never feel like going to the gym is a chore. Margaret has built a supportive and welcoming community where I want to go to continually improve and keep my commitment to myself. I am so grateful to Margaret, her skilled trainers and the other Ethos members for supporting me on my journey.

Margaret and her team are the absolute best! And they make working out fun and stress free, all you have to do is show up and do the work. They keep programs interesting by switching things up and always willing to help you and/or adjust if you have an injury or difficulty with something. I would 100% recommend Ethos to anyone that wants to improve themselves physically and mentally.

Hands down the best strength & conditioning gym in Denver. Margaret, Jon, Rob, and Craig are experts in their field and work with every client to make sure their goals are understood and achievable. They are honest, meticulous, and approachable. I have been working with Margaret for 4 years now to supplement my Brazilian Jiu Jitsu training with strength, conditioning, and nutritional coaching, and I feel better than ever. Ethos has been a game changer in how I approach training, my overall level of discipline and accountability, and injury prevention. I can't say enough good things about this place.

First off “you get what you pay for” isn’t always the case in the world of fitness. Lots of gyms out there charge crazy prices when the owners and instructors have only done one weekend course to check the box off and have no idea how to program workouts. I’ve been going here for 10 months now and I can confidently say that this place is legit. Look at the credentials alone of these instructors. Jon, Margaret and Rob are also super kind and passionate about what they do and it shows. They’re not there to yell over the music and just be a cheerleader while you workout. They actually correct your form and if you need more coaching they will continue to stand by and coach you through the entire movement to help create a good foundation on which you can mentally and physically grow. Their solid programming specifically helps with making you better and less injury prone for the activities you do outside the gym. Looking fit is just a by product. It’s an awesome atmosphere and I have yet to hear someone say that they regretted coming to Ethos. Just like the name, this gym is more than a place to workout, we all treat each other like family. If you’re looking for a place with real programming and a community, you’ll get both here at Ethos.

I've been working out at Ethos since August 2019. I had gone several years without any regular workout/conditioning, relying on sports and hiking to stay fit. I felt good, but I noticed that my strength and muscle tone were diminishing, and that I was having back and shoulder problems more frequently. Once I started noticing that it was becoming difficult to put my bike on my car roof I decided I had let myself go long enough, and tried Ethos for a month to see if it was a fit for me. I was a bit skeptical--why pay to work out when I could do that far cheaper at the local rec center? I found out the answer quickly--first, technique matters, and I didn't know enough to know what I was doing wrong. The coaches made seemingly minor adjustments to my form, and I noticed immediate results--both in terms of work out difficulty and most importantly, injury prevention. I know there are YouTube vids out there that have similar info, but having the input and coaching right there, daily, has made a huge difference. Second, having a personal coach assigned to design my workouts (Kevin) has kept me interested and challenged, and has given me an awesome resource when I want to make changes, or work on a specific skill. The coaches are supportive and encouraging, but will instantly correct technique and form so that I get the most out of my time in the gym. And finally, there is a lot to be said for working out where coaches know you. On my own, weeks might go by between workouts, and sometimes workouts would end quickly if I got bored. At Ethos, I have been consistent, and I take each workout to the end. Could I do it myself? Probably, but I have found out that I don't, and even when I was consistent and regular, I was never able to get as much out of my own workouts as I have out of Ethos.

Outstanding gym with personalized workout programs help you meet your goals. They deserve and extra star for how they’ve dealt with Covid-19. They gave members payment options if needed and even loaned out all of their equipment so we could still workout. They created new digital workouts and other at-home options. During the re-opening the gym is spotless and countless measures are being taken to keep everyone healthy. The workouts have been totally re-worked to ensure we maintain a safe social distance but still maximize our success. Every other gym I’ve been to is a waste of time compared to this place.

I have always been intimidated by gyms- but THIS GYM IS THE BEST EVER!!! Ethos is such a welcoming place with a strong community minded environment. I was a little worried about going back to a gym after the closures happened- but Ethos has made every effort to make sure everyone stays SAFE while still getting in a killer workout. Only 6 people in the gym at a time, everyone wears masks (it’s easier to workout in a mask than I thought it would be!), Equipment is wiped after every use, we all have our own stations away from each other...It’s THE place if you’re looking to get back in the gym!!!

I have been a member of this training center for almost a year now and I love the personalized attention I have received. All of the trainers are excellent. No matter the health goals, the trainers are knowledgeable and helpful. They have helped me with customized workout programs and nutrition. This is not a gym where you pay your dues and show up, the coaches are there to guide you at every workout. Working out at Ethos makes you part of the Ethos community.Their response to Covid-19 has been outstanding. Even before the stay at home orders were issued, Ethos had implemented policies for keeping their clients healthy and safe. When the gym was closed during the stay at home orders, they switched to on-line workouts. Being able to workout at home with my coaches saved my sanity during those long weeks. The coaches were also active in checking in with me, asking about my nutrition and my overall wellness. They even had live on-line meditation sessions.When the gym reopened I was eager to get back to working out, but i did not know what to expect. All the equipment in the gym had been reorganized to make it easier to workout and keep distance from others. The gym is cleaned constantly. Honestly, I have felt safer at Ethos than any other place I have been to since the stay at home orders ended. Working out with a mask has been tough, but the trainers are constantly checking in and making sure that everyone is doing okay.Frankly, you could not pay me to go to another gym. If you want to be a number, join another gym. If you want coaches that encourage you and guide you toward your health goals, Ethos is the place.

Edit: Let's talk about what Ethos is doing during this pandemic. I've been to Ethos, the hair stylist, grocery stores, home improvement stores, and the doctor (twice) since our Safer At Home orders have started. And I've felt the safest at Ethos. Everyone is in masks, everyone has their own bottle of cleaner to wipe down equipment, and everyone has their own 10'-15' space in the gym to work out. Doors are open, the ceilings are high, and classes are limited to 6 people. They are making a huge effort to clean every day, and everyone is screened for symptoms before entering the gym. Honestly, I was more worried picking up an order at Home Depot than I've been at Ethos - they are taking our health and safety extremely seriously.As a former athlete with multiple surgeries under my belt, I've been in and out of gyms and physical therapy my whole life. I went through years of very expensive personal trainers only to see minimal gains. I decided to try Ethos after hearing about it from former teammates. What I found was a gym that challenged me, with a team of trainers that are dedicated to every member's success. After 40+ years of destroying my body, I'm now learning how to breathe and move in a different way in order to prevent further injuries. In less than a year I've gained more strength and confidence than I ever did with 10 years of personal trainers. Simply put, Ethos is the best.

I've been regularly going to Ethos for the past 9 months. It has been a great experience. I'm in my forties and my main goal was to build my strength and stamina. I have dealt with lower back pain for a few years and it has significantly improved since working out at Ethos. I have tried to keep up my fitness over the years via workouts at home and at the gym but have never consistently stuck with it. The system that Jonathon and his team have put in place to keep you consistently showing up is great. All of the trainers are good at explaining the how and why for all of the different exercises. The workouts are done in a group setting, but they are individually tailored to your goals. It is very nice to show up and have your workout planned out for you. Much better than wandering around the gym trying to figure out which machine is available... You will see a wide range of different people at Ethos - from the serious athlete training for competition to the forty something dad trying to fight off middle age. The atmosphere at Ethos is welcoming and open. I highly recommend checking it out!
