Two years ago, I embarked on an adventure with In the Loop, and what a journey it has been! This vibrant community has been a gateway to friendships that span the globe, turning strangers into companions and cities into playgrounds of discovery. Local events transformed my own city into a treasure trove of new experiences, unveiling hidden gems I'd walked past a hundred times, yet never really seen.But oh, the travels! Each trip has been a chapter in a book I never want to end, brimming with laughter, shared stories, and unforgettable moments. From the warmth of newfound friendships to the thrill of romantic connections, every encounter has been a brushstroke on a canvas of memories.If you're in search of a tribe, a place where your heart feels at home, let Kara and Danielle be your guides in the wonderful world of In the Loop Singles. Here, you're not just finding friends; you're discovering a family you choose, one adventure at a time.

A couple of years back, I joined In The Loop (ITL). Initially, I was a little reluctant to attend events due to a challenging life transition and adjusting to a new routine. The cost of membership, coupled with additional expenses for events and extras like drinks and food, also seemed steep at first glance too. Opting for a one-year commitment, it took me about four months to start to actively engage with my membership. However, after attending a few events, I connected with an amazing group of people and started hanging out with them outside of ITL gatherings. I also began to look forward to events where my new friends attended and I made it a personal goal to meet at least three new people at each event, despite only being able to attend 2-3 events monthly due to my schedule. Still a personal goal I have today!Renewing my membership was an easy decision, as most of my friends remained part of the group, and since then, I've only expanded my social circle even further. The leaders and hosts in Denver, including Kara, Danielle, Bonnie, and Justin, etc. go the extra mile in fostering connections, carefully making introductions of individuals based on shared interests and similarities. My experience has been that their introductions are tactful and that they prioritize the cultivation of long-lasting friendships.This year, I leaped and joined the ITL trip to Ireland, despite knowing only a few fellow travelers from Denver. It was my first trip abroad and I felt safer exploring with the group than venturing alone. It turned out to be one of the best decisions I've made in a long time. Once again, Kara's thoughtfulness shone through as she expertly paired me with two incredible roommates one from Denver and one from Austin. My roommates turned out to be perfect matches, and I'm convinced our paths were meant to cross! ? I loved meeting people from other locations too. We had the best time and to leave Ireland without individuals from Austin, Nashville, and Seattle was painful! I miss them so much but I’m so grateful for our Denver crew.Your experience with ITL largely depends on your own efforts. The leaders can't force you to attend events or won’t push you beyond your comfort zone. Those who thrive within ITL are typically the ones who, despite being uncomfy at times, persist in mingling, remain open to new experiences, and engage with people regardless of similarities or differences.Conversely, those who have made tasteless or insensitive remarks failed to address their concerns professionally. It’s no secret that both positive and negative feedback circulates in any social setting or workplace, much like truths and falsehoods. While I prefer to believe in everyone's good intentions, it is very unfortunate that some of these negative reviews have misrepresented the dedication of Kara and her team. I look forward to the events and trips to come. Also if you’re reading this and I haven’t met you yet – come find me! Thanks for reading my essay.

Terrible service and unprofessional staff. Took almost four month to cancel membership. Would not recommend to anyone!

Kara and the staff at in the loop are so amazing. Events are well planned and fun! I joined and within 2 months I found my soul mate. We have been together for over 2 years now and could not be happier.

The only reason I’m giving 2 stars and not 1 is the staff are very kind. However this group is NOT worth the exorbitant price you pay for it. It’s not advertised on their website (at least when I signed up) but you pay minimum $80 a month for 18 months to be a part of this group while also having to pay to participate in pretty much every activity as well. If you’re in your 40’s - 50’s this group might be worth that since it seems like everyone in the group is around that age. But if you’re in your 20’s - 30’s everyone is 15 to 20 years older than you and also a guy making this group a gigantic waste of money. This group is pretty much the equivalent of hanging out with the staff at any random Home Depot. Don’t get trapped like I did, dating apps may seem like a waste of time but trust me this is so much worse.

I would highly discourage anybody from attending or signing up for these kind of programs. There are many across the country with different names but all share the Same agenda….the companies like to profit off of people’s loneliness and desire for a partner. This program is very discriminatory against certain people and charges an outrageous amount for you to be a part of it.Go to community events, volunteer for support staff for things (marathons, festivals, rescue shelters…etc) you don’t need these greedy discriminatory companies to do it for you.

I joined this group after my divorce, at age 43 it was such a great way to meet people in the same phase of life as me! I’ve made amazing friends, and I can’t wait to start traveling with them as well!

I received several calls from In The Loop before I had a chance to pick up. While she explained the group to me I got really excited, as I have only been in Denver a year and am still looking to make friends. It sounded like exactly what I’d been looking for. Connecting with others is pretty high on my list of needs and I was hopeful :)Anyway, I learned that you aren’t welcome to be a part of this group if you have a felony. I expressed how unfortunate that was for me, considering I have two drug-related felonies that took place over seven years ago when I was twenty-two. She apologized profusely and told me “it’s policy”. While I let her know that I understood she didn’t make the policy, I shared how shocked and discouraged I felt that I was being excluded for something that in no way reflects who I am today. My resilience is an asset along with many others that were written off the moment my past was discovered to be imperfect. I find this “policy” to exclude and judge others rather than connect them. These “policies” perpetuate the problem of isolation that so many addicts fought to be free of. We deserve connection too.(Obviously there are scenarios where is makes sense.. violent or abusive crimes etc.)

This is a great group; the activities are pretty well planned, members are vetted and activities are affordable. This is a great way to meet people of different walks of life and venues around the Denver area. I have never seen the behaviors people complain about on here. I recommend 100%.

Just as a disclaimer- I’m a pay once member and by virtue of bad luck with my schedule being dominated by work I haven’t attended a meet up. I have; however, met the people running it including Kara and Hayley and in the initial interview-style conversation I asked the reasonable questions until I fully understood the terms of the agreement. There is nothing sinister or predatory about this operation or legal agreement.Let’s face it, face-to-face is how it should be for introductory conversations these days (pun intended). Any other format is cherry picking for something to complain about.From the other posts I read, perhaps the individuals with one star ratings should bring their attorneys or a competent adult companion who has experience with basic membership agreements. This way they can have a shot at actually understanding the very clearly WRITTEN terms and conditions.

1 star is also waste this club. Worst club. I had call with hayley and paid intial cost $250 but as I am interested and not signed any agreement they are refusing to give money back. I clearly mentioned I am not ok to join as only one event during weeking they have for $10 and other eveng they charge us min of $30 which is not ok for me. When I requested for refund, they simply mentioning that We have given signed account, we can’t refund.. Now VP cyndy call me some random female doesn’t introduce and get directly into argument that They are charging me for felony check itseems which cost 145$ + application fee of 30$ which was no intimation to me during the call.If they are making any checking they need intimate the person first. When I requested fr my refund she is saying all kind charges which were never mentioned.**** Don’t join this club, one worst club ever I approaced. I feel ppl joined struck and couldn’t opt out***

i was really looking forward to the potential of this group as a way for me to meet people with just moving to denver but things took a turn.the meeting was in person in the dtc at an office building. you fill out a questionnaire with just some basic information.then the meeting starts. it feels like a job interview. they asked what i was looking for and i said just to meet a few people cause i just moved to denver and they went through there sales pitch of all the events they do and then came the membershipthere are 3 tiers to the membership and all are over 2000 dollars either over a 1,2 or 3 year commitment. i said i would like more time to make that kind of commitment and she said sure we can do it over the phone when we can. Then the meeting ended and i walked outnot 60 seconds after i walked out i recieved a very odd text with details that were not only hurtful but also i dont think meant for me. (special needs- very slow, 35 year never had a license and then said what i do for a living. im so glad i didnt give any of my money because i honestly feel they are shady and at the very least not professional. be very careful what you share with them.

Very negative experience with this company. If you decide you don't want to be a part of the group anymore according to them the only way to get out of it is move at least 100 miles away. They will give you the run around on communicating and say one thing on the phone but not follow through. An employee working the customer service will say you can cancel over the phone but then the vp will say you can't after being told that you can and won't honor it. (When I said this to her she said don't project your B.S. on me)Been spending $75 a month for over a year and have not been going since October of 2021. The members I did meet with at the few events I had gone too had negative reviews as well and acted like it was more of an obligation to go to the events since they were paying. Every time I tried to cancel they gave me a new excuse for why they said i couldn't cancel. If you are looking for ways to enjoy spending time with new people and friends in Denver I'd recommend another organization that is more focused on customer service and actually appreciates its customers. I don't recommend this place to anyone.

Absolutely horrific sales person. When I pressed her for how the pricing works for her original statement that it was "as low as $75 a month" she said "well we don't need people like you...." as I was hanging up. She - "Robbi" was her name, kept telling me about their "process" when all I wanted to know was how we get to the original price mentioned, when she then said it's $798 for a six month membership which is the minimum commitment.I felt like I was at a time share sales event. Don't do business with these people.
