Colfax Strong- Strength & Conditioning

I can't say enough good things about Colfax Strong. The coaching is top notch, and the community makes this place truly special.The programming is great and touches all areas of fitness, and the space itself is incredible. The scheduled athlete/coach check-ins are a great touch as well, they help you stay on track towards your own personal goals, and the coaches give great feedback on how to achieve them both in and outside of class.If you're in the Denver area, Colfax Strong is a gym you have to check out.

I found Colfax Strong because I needed a community minded gym that would help me get my body back in shape and fit around my work schedule. The facility is a large open space with a range of equipment and weights. It is clean and kept in good condition. The environment is active! Ages range from 20s, many 30s, but also 40s on up. One of the owners, Chad, talked me through the onboarding process. He listened carefully, explained what is offered, that included multiple daily group training classes, a weekly yoga class, a body assessment, and nutritional coaching. If I wish, there is open gym time, personal training, and the barbell club. He helped me set my first quarter goals. I appreciate that it is progress orientated. I took a free class before signing up, to make sure it was a good match and have started with 3 days a week for a while before graduating to the unlimited plan. Coaches are knowledgeable, friendly, and encouraging. I am new to CrossFit and definitely nervous before classes. (Still working on becoming friends with box jumps.) However, each class starts with talking over major movements and warmups incorporate components to help you practice. Coaches move around throughout and when needed/wanted, offer individuals pointers, help teach form, or offer modifications. (You can track your progress after each class with an app.) The yoga class is great to help stretch out sore muscles and joints. I appreciate that the culture is geared toward those who are willing to work hard. People are friendly and welcoming. The feeling of community is evident. Owners take pride in maintaining their space, creating effective programs, and taking care of people. You will be challenged, no matter your level of experience or strength, but each individual is responsible to challenge themselves and keep improving. I am learning, modifying as I need to, but with consistency, I will get stronger, leaner, improved mobility, and gain back confidence. You will sweat, struggle, pant, and even laugh - in a positive and supportive environment! I am grateful and recommend others join in!

As somebody who had never done Crossfit before, Colfax Strong was amazing. Their owners, coaches, and community are 10/10! Everybody was encouraging, knowledgeable, patient and friendly from the first day I joined and ever since. They always provided appropriate and accessible scaling options for my skill level but encouraged me to push myself and become stronger. I am so thankful to have found this space in my move to Denver. Highly recommend!

Being brand new to CrossFit, I researched gyms around the area and decided to try this one. From the moment I inquired about membership, the coaches at Colfax Strong reached out immediately and have made my onboarding process absolutely seamless, smooth, and fun. These folks know not only how to run a great business, but their attention to detail for new members (dedicated instruction, remembering my name, and personal text messages to name a few) has made my first few weeks here so much more than I thought they would be. Also, the other gym members are all very supporting and friendly. This is THE place.

The coaches are all qualified, knowledgeable, and helpful. The trust they've earned from me has me confidently doing lifts that I was too nervous to try on my own. I've also made more progress in a few months here than a year on my own. If you're new to fitness they always have scaling options, so no matter what you can do, they find a way to push you that works.

Colfax Strong is an amazing gym that truly has it all. Chad and Esther (The owners) are dedicated to helping members optimize their comprehensive fitness and health by way of goal sessions, check ups and daily conversations. The coaching staff is highly educated and extremely professional. The community is unbeatable!

First the owners and the coaches are amazing... There is so much encouragement and positive reinforcement for everyone. As you can imagine everybody is at a different level but for myself I am just getting back to working out after Covid, not to mention I am probably a little more "mature" than many of the other members...lol. 😂 The gym facilities are spacious and unlike many other places around town, this is a serious, no-nonsense workout place. The classes start on time and end on time because people are always waiting for the next class. But make no mistake... Everybody is so friendly and it is a fun place to belong...with outstanding results!!👍

I’ve been going to the gym for the last five months, and I am really enjoying it. I regret not joining years earlier considering that I’ve lived so close to the gym for so many years. Anyway, I am glad I finally joined.. The coaches are friendly, informative, and focus on improving an athlete’s form and technique, which I appreciate since I’m a novice. The gym fosters a culture of empowering and celebrating athletes’ personal growth and achievements. It is spacious, clean and, most importantly, dog friendly. I appreciate the equipment that the gym has recently purchased (e.g. sleds) and has maintained.

This gym is the best gym I've ever been to, hands down. The coaches are true experts, the community is incredible, and I've seen my body transform more in 3 months working out here than 5 years of weightlifting on my own. They really care about their members, and are always improving. The people that work out here are so strong, it really pushes you to be better and reframes what you think you are capable of. They even do scheduled check ins to make sure you are getting the most out of your membership. Could not possibly recommend more, it is the highlight of my day!

I am not a cross-fit person, but I did personal training with Nick for several months and I can't recommend him or this gym more. Nick was an amazing trainer, and he was extremely careful and considerate with my injuries. He was always observant and positive and helped me a lot! If you are considering PT, I can't recommend Nick any higher. Best PT I've worked with, easily.The rest of the gym seemed to have a wonderful culture as well! Chad and Esther are nice and good people, and I highly recommend joining and supporting this gym.
