LightenUp Fitness

I developed skills and gained knowledge once I took responsibility for my health and joined LightenUp Fitness. To my delight, I have found that it can be painless. The staff is solidly knowledgeable. I have completed my training and been on my own for a while now. I am delighted to say that I have not gone back to be unhealthy ways.

I really enjoyed going to this gym and all of the personal training/nutrition sessions while I lived in Colorado. It has definitely helped me tune in my nutrition more and focus more on building my upper body and staying mentally on track. I appreciate all of the help and support through my knee injury, and I have learned a lot.

LightenUp Fitness is a gorgeous and clean facility. I love the atmosphere, the trainers and the owners. It is such a motivating place to get my workouts in.

I needed to find a place that I could feel comfortable. I found it. I needed someone to help me with the physical fitness, the mental and the nutrition. You get all of that here.The people who are here are amazing. The owners are genuinely interested in helping you. The classes are fun and not intimidating. It is clean and there are lockers, showers, and towels. The equipment it really nice.

This program actually works. Stop looking at other gyms!I came to Lighten Up Fitness in August of 2017. I had a personal tragedy occur in my life in May 2017. I lost my wife. I went to my doctor in July 2017, I was severely overweight and she recommended Lighten Up Fitness. When I started my journey at Lighten Up Fitness I was 257 pounds and I am only 5’7”. I now weigh 185 pounds. The program at Lighten Up Fitness deals with 3 aspects of change: emotional, nutritional, and physical. The more you communicate with your health coach the more successful you can be on your journey. I had survivor’s guilt after my wife passed away. My coach counseled me through the process of healing and accepting my new life. They worked with me on creating new roles for me to work on. We talk about the roles during the counseling sessions, we discuss ways to be more effective with my roles and pitfalls that happen. The nutritional coaching was incredibly helpful. They coach you how to eat more effectively to maximize weight loss. They gave me tools to track my food. This is not a requirement. There is a grocery store tour and they explain how food manufacturers hide the bad stuff and teach you how to read the labels and make better choices. The physical part of the program is geared toward common sense exercise. It’s not get on the treadmill and walk for an hour. The coaches start you out small and build more challenging exercises as your strength increases. They have heart rate monitors so that you do not overexert your heart but that is completely optional as well. They are there with you with every step of the way with explanations and guidance. At one point in my life I was an avid runner, I got into pretty good shape. Now, I am probably in the best shape of my life. I feel great and I am stronger than I have ever been.I am off my Lipitor and 1 of my blood pressure medications. My doctor is very happy with my results. I cannot say enough good things about Lighten Up Fitness.Before and after pictures are below

I am from the Ohio area, and was out in Denver for about 4-5 months for work. I found that this gym was near where I was staying so decided to try it out. This gym was amazing! For one it's open 24/7 which was very convenient for me. Second there were no big crowds. Most of the time I was by myself or there would be a couple other people there. The owners are both amazing and very kind. I would highly recommend this gym to anybody looking for a gym where you can workout without dealing with big crowds.
