Colorado Athletic Club Flatirons

I've been coming here for about four months, and I love it! There is a great variety of both cardio and weight equipment, as well as areas for court sports and an indoor track. I also like that there are both indoor and outdoor pool options, with very pleasant temperatures. There are classes and swim teams scheduled in both pools, but I've always been able to get a lane either for myself or to share with my teenager. The women's locker room is spa-like, with a sauna, hot tub, and really nice products. The facility also has snacks, juices, and protein shakes available from Boulder Juicery, which is really nice if you need a little extra pick-me-up during or after a workout. There is a hang-out area with tables and armchairs up front, where I sometimes like to hang out with a cup of coffee just because it's nice.But... it's the people that make this place really exceptional! The staff makes an effort to know your name, and everyone is very friendly. I also work with a personal trainer once a week, and he is fantastic! There are usually trainers around, and you can ask questions about equipment, etc. The club occasionally has community events too, like the Labor Day BBQ, which was really fun!

This place is awesome. I’m on the swim team and they allow us to use the pool at almost anytime especially when practice gets delayed because of lightning and we have a personal trainer and she is the BEST. This club is probably one of the best in Boulder and I would highly consider getting a membership.

Nice big clean lots of daylight and plenty of equipment. The only thing I don't like it is not really set up like club meaning there's no place to sit and socialize the only coed facility is the outdoor pool I like swimming there I like being there I don't like and I've been there six times and have not met anyone. In an area conducive to socializing.

Helpfulness surrounds us here! DISCOVERY intuit shunts occasions peer-ritual. Look at the me ow why you look marvelous seems soul juice infused! Thanks Paul & BOULDER JUICERY! I AM HEALTH! Loving living greatness in recycled🚪upcycled🥤! …

WiFi has been spotty or non existent for months. Every time I inquire about it I get told something along the lines of "we're waiting to hear back from Comcast" or "yeah, it's been a little flaky the last few days". It doesn't seem like WiFi access should be a tall order in 2023.Edit: I guess I should also say the outdoor pool is amazing. Although it is often filled with kids on swim club, when you can get in it isn't too hot, the water is clean and the surroundings are great.

Probably great if you have kids or enjoy swimming, not great for anything else.I had very negative experiences with the personal trainers. I spent a few weeks calling trying to get in touch with management to discuss the issue and never heard back. Apparently the manager leaves or is "in a meeting" in the evening, so I was never able to speak with them in person either.This gym has a thriving youth swim program. Good for them, but this means that the locker rooms are full of wet kids from about 4pm-7pm. The sauna and hot tub are in the locker room, so it can be difficult if you're trying to relax in either of those places. The hot tub is often not working.The fitness class schedule is very limited outside of typical working hours (i.e. after 5pm). However, this means that the fitness rooms are usually empty, so it's easy to find space to workout. Unfortunately, the WiFi doesn't extend to the second floor, so you have to download music or online classes if you want to use a fitness room or walk around the track. The building is a brick fortress so cell reception is hit or miss.All that said, the weight room is usually pretty empty and I've never had trouble getting on cardio or other equipment. The fitness classes are ok if you have flexible schedule.This is in the contract but easy to miss - if you want to cancel, you have to give a 30 day notice. This means you have to pay for the month that you're currently in, plus a full additional month. You cannot cancel your membership if it is frozen. You have to unfreeze, pay for a month to give your 30 day notice, then you can cancel.

I live next door to this club, with their pool adjacent to my apartment complex. Since I moved in here in 2017, they persist in playing their music so loud it adversely affects the “peaceful pleasure of my home”. I can’t sit on my patio to read, listen to my own music from inside my apartment, or enjoy the peaceful nature of our neighborhood.Flatirons Athletic Club has no regard or respect for their place in our neighborhood. It makes me hate listening to KBCO!

I was a member here since before it was bought by CAC. Never had any problems until I had to put my membership on hold because of the pandemic. I care for an 87 year old relative so did not feel comfortable going to the gym. First I had problems with them putting my membership on hold and keeping it on hold. They charged my cc the full monthly fee even after I said my membership was on hold. They never refunded my money. Then I decided that I would just cancel my membership. They told me I couldn't because my membership was on hold and in order to cancel I would have to reinstate my membership by paying $100. When I refused to pay they started sending me threatening letters and charging me ridiculous finance charges. I talked to someone again and was told if I just paid $100 they would drop all the finance charges but I'm still getting invoices for all the finance charges. It feels like a bad break up with a psychopathic ex.

I want to start off by saying my review is based solely off experience with the company's account professionals and their billing department. The gym itself is exactly what it appears. A mediocrely equipped overpriced athletic club, but they don't hide that fact.Now for my experience with the absolute train-wreck of a business they are running. I signed a 1yr contract when I lived walked distance from the gym. During that time, it was a nice convenient gym, at a rather steep price, but I knew that going into it. After 1 year, they wanted to up the price since I was no longer a new member, and after a few month to month payments, I opted to cancel my membership after discussions with an account manager in their office on site. I should have known how poor of a service they are running after a friend went to inquire about a new membership, and had a meeting with a professional in an office with a belly up fish in a fishbowl on the desk!Fast forward almost 18 months, and I received a phone-call from collections attempting to collect on the athletic club account. After reaching out to the clubs billing department, I learned that the club only keeps their hard copy cancellation records for 6 months (funny how they waited until after this timeline to attempt to collect), after which the documents were destroyed; and the hard copy was never sent from the gym to their main office. This meant that my only way to avoid the charges, was to provide a carbon copy I was given, almost 2 years ago. Like most, I don't store receipts from a gym I once had a membership for, cancelled, and haven't lived near for well over a year. Due to the clubs incompetence to a) initially forward the cancellation documentation from the Flatirons location to the central billing department, and b) maintain their own membership records for a reasonable amount of time, I was forced to pay for a gym membership that I cancelled.Any reasonable business upon failure to charge an account, and after failure to contact the account owner, would have put the account on hold or termination, rather than continuing to rack up a bill every month and handing over to a collection agency. Which they waited until a length of time had passed where most people have tossed any paperwork they had, after the gym destroyed its own copy of the paperwork, and they had racked up a sufficient bill to make a large profit on collections.Long story short, this gym doesn't care about its members, they are just out to make as much money as they can, at any cost. One star is generous for my experience, and I highly advise anyone to stay away unless you are incredibly organized and ready to dispute a membership claim at any point in time. Even then, it's a mediocre gym, at a premium price. But hey, it's got a smoothie bar.

I only swim here. The outdoor pool is clean and appropriate temperature. I've never had an issue here. No hot tub like Boulder location but I'm here to swim so no big deal.The kids play area is nice and we've brought them here to splash around a few times.The indoor pool is clean and a nice temperature, but the floors outside the pool are literally falling apart. That would be fine except the floor is made of glued together pebbles and the pebbles are all over and hurt like hell when you step on them barefoot. For $120+/month the floor needs to be redone completely or resealed so it's not like stepping on legos.I feel like 3.5 stars is more accurate (7/10), but picked 4 just to be nice. They definitely are not an 8/10 club, but 6/10 seems off too.
