Uplift Boulder

Devin helped me get into the best shape of my life. At 55 years old, I trained with Devin for my first NPC bikini competition! He helped me get stronger, more flexible and move better, in addition to drastically improving my body composition. But most of all, his training and support helped me become so much more confident in my own ability to continue to build on my fitness month after month and year after year. Devin taught me so much about the importance of adhering to a solid and consistent routine that gradually builds on itself. And it did and continues to. I am now getting ready to compete in my third NPC show at near 58 years old. One more thing, Devin never made me feel old!

I worked with 2 trainers separately over the course of summer 2022. They set up a plan with me for how to achieve my goals (general fitness after 2 years of not working out because of COVID). They taught me proper form and focused on keeping me healthy and working hard. Every day came with its tougher exercises, and both trainers kept me motivated to push my limits and work hard.I always left satisfied, tired enough, and excited to come back again. So long as I live in the denver/Boulder corridor, I'll be going to Uplift (formerly Townstrength) for my personal training and weigh lifting.

LOVE UPLIFT.Why? A lot of reasons.But I’m going to focus on the trainers. Devin, Jena, and Zac. They have built such a wonderful culture and community in this space. They are upbeat, motivating, knowledgeable and encouraging.It is such a joy working out here.And if you know me, which you don’t, that is SAYING something. I never had any experience with lifting weights/strength training, etc. It didn’t matter. These trainers brought me in, lifted me up, taught me, corrected me, motivated me, and celebrated me.I can’t recommend this place enough. And I encourage everyone to try it out, you won’t be disappointed.

I've been a fitness instructor myself since 2000, and I'm pleased to say that I've worked with Devin both as a professional colleague and as a client.His technical chops are top notch. His skills instructing barbell (powerlifting and Olympic) in particular are absolutely top 1%. Devin gives effective and spare verbal cues, does a good job of staying out of the way so his clients can learn for themselves. His encyclopedic knowledge of the history of exercise culture is as impressive as it is helpful. He integrates video review effectively and effortlessly.The most important thing, however, is that Devin is a genuine, kind, honest, and trustworthy person. His character is impeccable, and it's a pleasure to know him and have the opportunity to work with him. Devin is an asset to the Boulder fitness community.

I didn't know it was possible to love a gym this much, but here we are.UpLift is hands down the best gym I've ever been to, and it's a pretty incredible place! The coaching staff is superb--knowledgable, welcoming, and genuintely committed to helping members get the most out of each class, wherever they're at on the day. The classes are a mix of folks with all different kinds of goals and levels of experience, and they're really geared so that everyone can scale up or down to tailor the workout perfectly. You also have plenty of personal attention from whomever is coaching, which means you can get everything from help refining your basic movements, to a spot, to nitty gritty feedback on particular elements of an exercise or whatever modifications you might need.The community here is fantastic, and everyone is so welcoming. I will put in a particular plug to say that if you're interested in trying strength training for the first time, THIS IS THE PLACE you want to be. Seriously, look no further. Jena and Devin's philosophy is absolutely that all bodies are good bodies (capable of very cool things!), and it's never the wrong time to start strength training. The whole coaching staff embodies this, and I can honestly say that, without fail, I've always left the gym in a better mood than when I showed up. Even if you go in to do a workout on your own, someone is always there to offer a spot, a high five, answer a question, and frankly make your day better. 10/5 stars for UpLift!

Uplift is a fantastic gym! I really enjoy personal training with Jena. Every workout is different. She packs a lot into a one hour session. I highly recommend you try them out.

Uplift Boulder has it all—knowledgable coaches, thoughtful class structure, top tier equipment, squeaky clean facility, and a great sense of community. Not only that, Coach Devin is an invaluable resource when it comes to advanced powerlifting, weightlifting, and strongman programming and technique. Can't recommend this gym enough!

I joined this gym a year ago in the hopes of finding community. I found that and much more. Not only are the trainers present, encouraging, and knowledgeable, they are also able to push you to do more than what you thought you could. It is clean, newly renovated, and a safe space for all genders, ages, and body types. I cannot recommend this place more!

Incredible locally owned gym! This is a great place to train for people of all skill levels. Fun classes and very friendly coaches. Nice selection of strongman/powerlifting/Olympic weightlifting equipment that you will not find at a large commercial gym like crunch.

As any physical therapist, I am picky of where I trust to send my patient to, and in Boulder, Uplift is where I send them! The staff are very knowledgable and thorough regarding form and proper loading for wherever someone is at in their strength journey. And the experience it truly unique. It's not simply a gym, it's a community.
