Starting my fitness journey at Colfax Strong was a pivotal moment for me. Having struggled with holding myself accountable when it came to working out, I knew I needed a change. That's why I opted for personal training. I've always been self-conscious about being too "slender" and wanted to put on muscle, but lacked the guidance and motivation to do so effectively.With the help of Jordan, my personal trainer, and Esther, one of the gym's owners who is also in charge of nutrition, I started my “12 week body transformation”. Jordan's backing and motivation helped me tremendously. With his custom workouts, I began to see great progress. Esther's expertise in nutrition was also a huge part in my progression. She didn't just provide me with a customized meal plan; instead, she taught me how to fuel my body in a sustainable way. And answered any questions I had along the way.With their guidance and the supportive atmosphere created by Chad and Esther, the gym's owners, I was able to not only achieve my goals but to surpass them. I was able to gain 15 pounds of lean muscle in just 12 weeks which seemed impossible for me at the start, but their support and dedication made it a reality. Chad and Esther are more than just gym owners—they are so invested in the success of each member. Their hands-on involvement and genuine care create a sense of community where everyone feels valued and encouraged. Thanks to Esther’s guidance, as well as Jordan’s, I not only met my fitness goals but also gained confidence in my abilities. And that’s all I truly wanted from the whole experience. Therefore, I wanted to say thank you to everyone at Colfax Strong that helped me along the way!

Colfax Strong is a great gym and I’m so happy I joined. I started here because I wanted to start my fitness journey but didn’t know exactly how to start. From my first meeting with Sean I knew I was in good hands. I got a full rundown of what Colfax Strong had to offer in terms of programs and memberships. After the discussion, I decided that Personal Training was the best option for me.I got paired up with Jordan who is an excellent trainer. Jordan is clear with the goals he sets for each session and builds challenging workouts each week. Jordan is very knowledgeable about weight training and good at tailoring the workouts to meet your desired goals.He is also very attentive and will do various check-ins during the session to make sure I’m doing okay and that we’re good to continue on. He knows when to push you for that extra rep and knows when to stop so you don’t burn out. I’m glad I started working with Jordan, after 3 months I’ve made a ton of progress and enjoy the motivation and energy I get each workout. I’m looking forward to the continued gains training with Jordan.The gym also has great vibes. There is a big sense of community and support. Good music and great team. 10 out of 10!

I joined Colfax Strong appx 4 months ago and it’s been a fantastic experience so far. I’ll admit, I was a bit reluctant to join a CrossFit gym initially. However, after a running related knee injury requiring surgery this past year, I finally acknowledged the importance of strength training. I’m so glad I decided to give Colfax Strong a try. They provided several 1:1 training sessions before I started the group classes, which gave me a lot of comfort given that it was all so new to me. Everyone is very welcoming and classes are scalable to your fitness level. Their set up also does a great job of holding you accountable (in a good way) and keeping you motivated to go to classes. All of the coaches/instructors are great, but I especially love Alexis! She exudes positive energy and really makes an effort to get to know everyone in the class. I 100% recommend this gym.

Colfax Strong is my #1 choice in gym experiences. Chad and Esther truly are the best fitness gurus on the planet. They push you hard and don’t stop until you have an 8 pack. But the pain is always worth it! I also love their temporary trainer Jake/Jacob, that dude is nuts. I will be coming back until my back muscles can crush a coke can when I flex.

Can’t recommend this place enough! Where to start? Lots of classes, so there is always availability. All of the coaches are really knowledgeable and pay attention to each person’s form so that they can help you to adjust/scale accordingly. The programming is well thought out so that you aren’t killing the same muscle group over and over again. You just need to show up and the coaches/programming will do the rest. Love it!!

I've been a member at Colfax Strong for 6 months and it has been fantastic from the beginning! I know a lot of people talk about the community here — and I've only begun to scratch the surface of that — so I'm going to talk more about the staff who make Colfax what it is and instill such a strong culture in that community. I've been riddled with injuries since I joined (everything from a thrown-out back to now heading into surgery to fix up cartilage in my knee), and in the past that would have meant I just didn't show up to the gym, and would stay at home and nurse myself back to "health" on the couch. HOWEVER, my perspective has shifted so much since joining Colfax, because:1. The coaches are super knowledgeable and encouraging, so I still go to class without half the cartilage in my knee, and ask them for mods all the time, which they are more than willing to give and in some cases it makes the workouts even more challenging (in a good way)!2. I've been doing their nutrition program and figuring out how to use other levers to still make progress toward my overall fitness goals, even when I'm limited in the gym. (Thank you, Esther!)3. Even when I just go to open gym, the vibes are so GOOD — from the music, to the friendly atmosphere (everybody is cheering everybody on), to how comfortable and not intimidating the space feels — I feel so motivated and so inspired to keep on going, doing whatever I am capable of that day, even if it's not much.Tl;dr, this place is the real deal, it's the full package, and it's worth every penny.

I’ve been going to Colfax Strong for a little over a year now and can’t say enough good things about it. It has everything I look for in a CrossFit gym - large space, open gym area if you want to do your own thing, a lot of equipment, and great programming. It’s definitey the community that sets this place apart from other gyms I’ve joined. The coaches are all extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and supportive, and the other gym-goers always make class fun. Definitely recommend!

This gym is so much more than a gym. It is a true community and the member to member support is just as strong as the coach to member support. Highly recommend!

After reaching 100 days with Colfax Strong, I can truly say what a value the gym is. Prior to arriving at Colfax Strong, I was hitting a plateau in growth in what I could learn from exercise, and thought I would be coming in at a level to be on par with the average members athletic ability. It was a humbling experience to see how well everyone around me was doing. I have learned so much more about new movements and about proper technique. I'm starting to see a path towards movements I never thought I would accomplish. Where the hidden value is: the community. Everyone was super friendly when I started, but getting to know the members and staff has truly shown the amazing support system and capacity for friendships. Where I thought I was going to gave a rough transition in my fitness journey, Colfax Strong has given me excitement with the realization I have room for so much growth, and have the support to achieve it.

I joined Colfax Strong over three years ago at the height of the pandemic when I was feeling cooped up, burned out, and weak from losing my fitness routine. Colfax Strong was exactly what I needed at the time, and I just wish I had found this style of exercise and this gym sooner in my time in Denver. The owners and the coaches are an absolutely awesome team, and the community is welcoming and diverse. You get what you put in at this gym, whether it's on the exercise floor, in goals and nutrition planning, or in building relationships with other members. I've been an endurance athlete and a powerlifter in my past, but I've never been this combination of strong and fast. I've gone through a lot of personal change in the past couple years but Colfax Strong has been the constant. Thank you!

So far, it's only been 2 weeks since I started going to Colfax Strong. I have met Sean, Roman, Esther, and Nick - and they have all been awesome! I was somewhat nervous about trying something new, but it felt right to me -- and I am glad I didn't second-guess myself. It's great gym - close to home, right in the middle of a fantastic community. I wanted to challenge myself to do something new ("if you want something you've never had, you have to try something you've never done" ...), and each time I go to Colfax Strong, II know a little more, and I feel stronger and more confident. On the business side, they have been amazing - reasonably priced with excellent communication. Plus, they are as invested in the fitness journey as I could hope. Feeling pretty great about this decision!
