LightenUp Fitness

Fantastic experience: Another year has flown by. But unlike previous years, Lightenup Fitness helped me make a dramatic change in my health over the last 12 months. I've used the normal excuses - work, stress, limited types of food I like, etc. - as an excuse for years for not taking control of my health. I didn't want to be restricted from the foods I like and I couldn't spend 7 nights a week in the gym completing workouts. LightenUp Fitness works with your lifestyle and habits to improve upon them. The changes you make are gradual and manageable and you work at your pace for the progress you want. The coaches are encouraging and truly care about you and your journey. I would suggest LightenUp Fitness for any age or fitness level.

Positive experience: A small gym that has all you need.

Fantastic experience: Our trainer or health coach has been instrumental in our life change .I have lost almost 50 pounds.I'm halfway to my goal.

Fantastic experience: I joined Lifestyle Fitness in November 2018 and am very happy with the coaching I am getting. I have lost weight, I am stronger and am developing habits for a better lifestyle. This program works for me!

Fantastic experience: Writing this review for my wife and daughter. LightenUp is a spotless state of the art gym and so much more. I am so grateful for the help to navigate a year of holidays, work trips, vacations, and parties. Having such great support weekly and sometimes daily helped me push past plateaus. Give yourself a year and see all that you can do. LightenUp has a teen program like no other in Colorado. My daughter wasn't big or recovering from an injury. She was in many ways a typical young teen who had friends that were either living on fast food and/or experimenting with skipping meals. She learned how to separate fact from fiction and work out safely. Thanks LightenUp!

Fantastic experience: I hate writing and reads reviews. You just don’t really know what is real and true. But I can tell you to believe that this facility and it’s staff are great. They don’t make money off selling you shakes or supplements. They help you figure out ways to improve your food. They work with you and where you are at in terms of nutrition knowledge. They make it simple to understand. They teach you the skills and tools you need to be successful in health and life. It’s a bit like personal coaching for your health. Honestly I feel, look and am healthier than I have been ever. I have lost a bunch of weight. Recent blood tests from my doctor confirmed I have lower cholesterol and various other improvements. Tried a bunch of other things before but working with these guys made a huge difference. Thanks!!!!

Fantastic experience: 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.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic organization built around their clients physical well being, nutrition, and the proper exercise for a life program of improvement. Programs are built around you and changing your lifestyle for the rest of your life. Healthy eating, great exercise program, and a monitoring program second to none. A staff who is deeply concerned for your success.

Fantastic experience: This gym is the real deal!! Stop looking for a place to go because this is the one. The owners take a personal interest in everyone. They are not owners who just hand it over to other people to run. They are fully involved and are absolutely great! I have only been doing the lifestyle for 7 weeks. It is amazing how much better I feel not only physically but emotionally. My lifestyle coach is nothing short of fantastic in all of the support she gives me. She even makes the workouts fun while I work hard. This gym Is so very different from any other and I look forward to going there. Thank you Lifestyle for being available to change my life.

Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough about LightenUp Fitness, the training, the instructors, and the facility are exceptional! LightenUp fitness provided me with the foundation for maintaining the right balance of diet and physical activity to help me reach my desired goals. An great personal atmosphere and an amazing alternative to the mega gym's.

Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough good things about Lighten Up Fitness. Back in July 2016 my husband and I came to visit our son, we found that our son was dangerously overweight. We do not live in Colorado. Heart problems run in our family and my husband and I were very afraid that he was headed toward a major cardiac event. At that time we had a discussion with our son. We told him that he needed to make some changes to get himself back on the road to better health. We insisted that he do this slowly and in a healthy way. No shortcuts. No surgery. We asked that he start with a doctor’s visit. It was at this visit that the doctor had a brochure from Lighten Up Fitness. My son informed me of his decision to join Lighten Up Fitness. He had a difficult journey but the staff at Lighten Up Fitness always encouraged him to stick with it. My son and I would keep in touch weekly and he has shared pictures of the various classes and events at Lighten Up Fitness. As time passed I heard hope in my son’s voice. We are so proud of our son and the all hard work he has put in. He could not have done this without the instructors and coaches at Lighten Up Fitness. I visited my son in April 2018. My son took me to Lighten Up Fitness and I met the coaches and I thanked them personally for all that they did not only for my son, but for our family. I did not want to lose my son. They gave my son the gift of health, which is priceless. My son still goes to Lighten Up Fitness. We would not have it any other way.

Fantastic experience: 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

Fantastic experience: 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.

Fantastic experience: 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.

Fantastic experience: 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.

Fantastic experience: 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.
