V23 Athletics

Fantastic experience: It's been almost a month for me and I'm liking more and more everything I show up. I appreciate the focus on correct form, ensuring that you developed the right habits and movements before hitting it hard. They offer a great mix of workouts, keeping interesting and challenging.

Fantastic experience: Awesome environment, friendly people and great work outs! I LOVE this place!

Fantastic experience: I've been with CFDV since May and I can't get enough of both the CrossFit and HIIT programming. I love that the membership includes both workouts to get an even more diverse training program. The trainers are excellent and every workout feels like a personal training session. I never have to think about what I'm going to do because they've already planned it for me. I also like that the workouts can be customized to my ability, so if I can't do a movement [properly] they suggest an alternative. Give it a try, you've got nothing to lose! Well, except maybe some inches and a lack of self confidence!

Fantastic experience: Crossfit Dove Valley is not your typical Crossfit gym. The Owner and coaches are all vested in each member, their improvement, safety and doing the movements correctly. The basic movement techniques and skills are taught to everyone and reiterated at the start of every class. The coaches are integral to each class making sure the movements are followed to reduce injury. The coaches work with each member to make sure that if you do have physical limitations you are doing movements that work for your limitations, but still get the same overall effect for the workout. Great group of people here - members included.

Fantastic experience: In June the company I work for decided everyone needed to get healthier..... In order to help us get there anyone who wanted a membership to CrossFit Dove Valley got one. At first I thought they were kinda crazy for suggesting all these people who sit at a computer for 9 hours a day try this insane workout, but it was free so I gave it a try. The first day was a three hour long On Ramp class and I legitimately thought I was going to die but I didn't so I keep going. Over the next few weeks I figured out why so many people love crossfit, it is addicting, always different and when you are done with a workout you really feel like you accomplished something. CrossFit Dove Valley has amazing coaches who really want to see you improve and they celebrate your achievements right along side you. Everyone is super encouraging even if you complain about everything.... :) I would recommend to any and everyone!!!!

Fantastic experience: What can I say about CDV? I travel quite a bit and visit a number of boxes and I always look forward to when I get back in town and go to my home box. I've been crossfitting for about 5 years now and have had more gains the past 9 months than ever before. Coaches focus on the fundamentals and really make the experience great. The community is open and everyone is there for one another. If you are traveling and are looking for a local box or are a permanent resident I highly recommend dropping in for a visit.

Positive experience: My company decided to provide our crew with access to the program at Crossfit Dove Valley this summer. But I was very resistant at first. I really didn’t feel comfortable or capable enough to give it a try based on things I’d heard about Crossfit and my own incorrect self-judgment. But after talking to Rick @ CFDV I relented and started coming pretty regularly starting the first part of August. I’ve been showing up a few times a week since then. Sometimes more, sometimes less. Ready to work, ready to learn, ready to work my butt off! What brings me back time after time is not only the obvious results of my hard work week after week (my clothes are fitting better and better each week!) But it’s the constant presence of the Coaches and the small class sizes. Coaches spot bad form and teach me the best way to improve what I’m doing to prevent injury and to get the most out of the workout; they call me out when I’m rocking the day’s workout which helps me feel good about what I’m doing; and they also provide modifications to any series of movement that I can’t physically do yet. All of this builds my confidence and helps me to stay positive about my personal fitness journey. I would recommend CFDV to anyone that maybe feels as though they would benefit from the smaller class sizes or feels that they would get more out of their workouts with direct input from someone that knows a thing or two, or even for someone that just appreciates a controlled and directed workout to maximize benefits. Regardless of the initial reason that brings you in, your experiences at CFDV will bring you back!

Fantastic experience: This Cross Fit gym is amazing! Whether you're just starting or have been doing Cross Fit for years, this box has the expertise to get you where you want to be. All of the trainers are extremely knowledgeable with CrossFit Level 1 certifications. The atmosphere is encouraging for all levels and the trainers make sure to focus on technique first and foremost. The equipment in the gym is brand new and the owners do a great job keeping it immaculate. I recently had a coworker try out the gym and after one workout he was hooked. He couldn't stop talking about how good he felt after the work-outs and how he appreciated the coaches approach to ensuring that he was lifting properly. The owners offers 1 week free, so definitely check it out!

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Dove Valley is a CrossFit box with a knowledgable and friendly staff. I've been to other boxes that didn't make everyone feel comfortable. At CrossFit Dove Valley, everyone, no matter what shape, size, or ability is welcomed, and everyone is made to feel that his or her health and ability matters. The classes are fun, rigorous, and when I attend class, I feel as if I am meeting up with friends who care about me as a person, and are willing to make my growth as a budding athlete part of their athletic journey as well. I am very glad I found CrossFit Dove Valley!

Fantastic experience: I have been a part of the CrossFit Dove Valley family since its inception. My time put in is rather shoddy due to work and I suppose a scintilla of laziness on my end, however, the workouts never disappoint and the atmosphere is designed to encourage you to do better. At CFDV, the trainers and other CrossFitters are really there to support you and they cheer you on when you are dog tired and do not want to finish the workout. Although Crossfit has a stigma of being a "cult", I can assure you that is far from the case at CFDV and thus, you should take the time to come check out the gym - take a lesson and just talk to the people!

Fantastic experience: I was invited to come try a free week by a coworker. I have always had horrible gym anxiety and never wanted to try crossfit because I felt that you needed to be in shape to even join. I was hooked after my first week and will not workout anywhere else. I am a former D1 athlete and was never a fan of the "rah rah, you can do it", especially if I know I clearly can't do it and am not the best. However, this place is different. They are so body positive and want you to get the movements down, not lift a ton of weight. They want you to succeed. The workouts are hard, the workouts are tough, but you will get through it and you will feel amazing about yourself. It is you vs. you. I love this place and am so happy I was invited to try it out. It is by far the best gym and group I have ever trained with.

Fantastic experience: I started working out at Dove Valley in June, and it has been a wonderful experience. The coaches are incredibly helpful, they have all helped me work around my injuries and have given me strength training exercises to get me back to normal so I can push limits again. They have all been very supportive and open, I have even been working with one of the coaches on my nutrition needs and diet restrictions. I also love the atmosphere and the team that comes to work out everyday, they are all encouraging and help me push myself to be the best athlete I can be!

Fantastic experience: Beau and the team he has assembled are fantastic. We joined V23 after one of the trainers at our previous gym left to start working at V23, and we could not be happier. If you are looking for a new gym or want to try something new, I strongly urge you to consider V23. Incredible community.

Fantastic experience: V23 is more than a gym. It is a community, a culture, and collectively home to some of the hardest working, dedicated and supportive group of athletes and staff I have seen anywhere else in the Denver metro. I have trained in MANY other facilities, and none of them stack up to the prestige of V23. That prestige isn't just in the fact that it has been host to multiple world records being broken by its members, or the professional NFL players, golfers and strength athletes that train there, but in how truly committed the owners, Beau and Ruthie, are to bringing the best out of their athletes and holding them accountable. V23 is a no BS, no drama environment for serious athletes and fitness enthusiasts who show up without excuses. You can go to a lot of other gyms and be surrounded by all the bros who aren't going anywhere, or you can go to where quality comes before quantity and be pushed to your absolute best. <<

Fantastic experience: 3 months ago I began lifting at V23 hoping to spice up my routine, and find motivation in lifting again. Not only have they given me motivation again, unbelievable cycles for strength based lifts, but the metcons continuously change and help you stay engaged in the programming. I've put on about 18 lbs in the last 3 months, I've hit MULTIPLE PRs and they PRs don't seem to be ending anytime soon. I finally squatted over 300, benched 225, and am really close to a 400 lb dead lift at my current body weight 155-160... my lifting numbers prior to my membership weren't even close to that or heading in the direction of thinking I'd ever get it. Beau and Ruthie the owners and coaches of the gym have been unbelievably nice and are amazing people and coaches. This is the type of gym that I can't and won't shut up about. My life mission is to get all my friends to check it out so they can understand the difference between being a gym goer, and being an absolute unit. 10/10 recommend, definitely grateful a friend of mine introduced me to this gym.

Fantastic experience: Amazing people and coaching, truly a place I call home. Be prepared to work, results guaranteed.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism Working with Beau and the team at V23 has me currently the strongest and most athletic I've ever been. They are professional, knowledgable and care for their athletes and clientele. I couldn't recommend them more highly!

Fantastic experience: What a cool place! Dropped in for a Crossfit class and was welcomed by the coaching/membership like I was a regular. Programming was solid, equipment was excellent, and I got quality cues/instruction from the coach. This is one of the good gyms, for sure!

Fantastic experience: V23 is by far the BEST facility within the Denver, Lone Tree, Centennial, Highlands Ranch, Aurora, and Greenwood Village areas. I say "facility" because this place is more than just a gym. This is true, boutique strength and conditioning facility. This isn't just "Crossfit" or "strongman or whatever other label gyms give themselves. At V23, it is all about community, family, and being healthy. Whether your goal is to compete competitively at a high level, or just get a good sweat in, you will be COACHED the same. I have noticed at a lot of other gyms, the competitors get coached and everyone else is pushed to the side. This is not the case here. Whether or not you are a competitor or just the average person, moving well is moving well and you shouldn't be singled out because of what you are training for. Thats why I love this place. Everyone is treated equally no matter what. You are pushed to get better when you come here. If you want to change things up and really progress in whatever you are trying to achieve in your life/fitness journey. This is by far the best place to accomplish this.

Fantastic experience: I have never been as impressed as I am with a gym and it’s community than I have with V23 Athletics. The gym is built on a solid foundation of integrity, hard work, and commitment. The community, coaches, mentors, and fellow gym buddies are here to rise each other up and push each others boundaries. My mental and physical game has never been better than it is currently. I value the coaching and connections with the V23 crew for a lifetime. It’s home and a place I can truly express me:) If you are looking for accountability, guidance, support, motivation, and a gym packed with positive vibes then you will fit right in. We all come from different types of backgrounds from athletes to never having done any kind of fitness. It doesn’t matter where or how you got here, we are all here to get work done! Thanks for all you do V23, proud to be apart of it and to represent!! Much love

Fantastic experience: Great place to train. All skill levels and highly educated trainers in multiple disciplines of the fitness spectrum. Beau and Ruthie have created the highest level of training for all types of fitness in Colorado!!!!

Fantastic experience: Ruth Massman is the most hands-on, there for any question type of nutritionist. She will be as little or as much engaged as you wish her to be. She helped me reach my goal of lowering my body fat % from 26% down to 20% in only 4 months! I was concerned about the frequent increase in weight I had gained after the summer and into the fall. I finally fit back into my tinier clothes and I couldn't be more happy!! She's very knowledge about nutrition and work out regimes that I highly recommend her to anyone looking to achieve new health & wellness goals. It's been a few months since finishing my wellness plan with her and I've managed to keep the weight and fat off! She helps you not only transform your body but your lifestyle into a healthier and happier one!

Fantastic experience: V23 is the epitome of high-caliber coaching and community-supported success. You can participate with any goal in your future and still have a seat at the table. Each person walks in with effort, integrity, respect and the desire to learn. From a lifetime of athletics and fitness, there is no other environment that has helped me progress in such a short time and be hungry for more every single day.

Fantastic experience: This place is incredible! Their passion and dedication to excellence, their knowledge and expertise in fitness and movement, their compassion and desire to help ALL athletes regardless of experience and physical challenges, and their ability to communicate this in a friendly and effective way is exceptional! I have been to hundreds of CrossFit gyms around the world and this place is one of the best if not the best I have ever seen. Coaches and Members are all very friendly too. Everyone cares and the culture here is extraordinary. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! And...the music is pretty bomb too!

Fantastic experience: It's imperative that people understand how rare this gym is. Seldom can a person look you in the eye and deliver on all the words they spit at you, Beau and Ruthie do. v23 offers a place where you can forge yourself physically and mentally. This isn't rocket science, its work and its 100% what you need.

Fantastic experience: Killer strength program, mindful coaching staff, with (get this!) purposeful programming. They do what most gyms don't to ensure progression of athlete skill and development.

Fantastic experience: V23 is RAD!! The community is encouraging and the coaching is solid. COME VISIT V23!!!!! Every workout is tough but so much FUN!!! I am so stoked to be under some incredible coaching with an awesome group of people.

Fantastic experience: V23 is hands down the best gym I've ever been to. I've been to numerous crossfit gyms around Denver over the years and V23 is something very special. The owners and coaches Beau and Ruthie are the most passionate, experienced and knowledgable coaches I've ever worked with. Its immediate to see how much they care about their athletes and how they move. To be blunt, the majority of crossfit gyms have coaches that took a Level 1 crossfit course and coach only to earn their monthly membership. It's obvious to see the lack of knowledge and passion in those gyms. (Not all gyms and not all coaches, but just my overall consensus based off my experience) Everyday I go to V23 I learn something new and discover new goals that I didnt have before, to strive to be a better athlete. I love every moment that I'm there. The gym is very well maintained with great equiptment and the availability for strong man equiptment like yokes, sleds, atlas stones, sandbags and farmer walk handles, etc etc is quite unique and something I've always wanted to work with at a gym. Plenty of space for a good size class to workout in and plenty of equipment for everyone. I cant say enough about V23 and I would highly recommend it to anyone. I even commute over an hour round trip to workout here and it's worth every minute

Fantastic experience: Good times and hard times, but no bad times. Join this community if you want to get strong and learn things. If it was easy everyone would do it.

Fantastic experience: V23 Athletics is more then a gym, it is a lifestyle that encourages personal growth both in and out of the gym. The guiding philosophy is virtuosity, which means "preforming the common, uncommonly well". Beau and Ruthie embody this philosophy everyday and strive to have the V23 comminuty embrace and live this philosophy as well. I am personally thankful to Beau and Ruthie for welcoming me to the community with open arms and for working with me though my knee injury while also teaching me proper movements that are used on a daily basis. There is no man left behind here, V23 looks to build all community members and realizes that everyone has different life experiences and can bring a unique perspective to the table. Beau and Rithie are committed to their passion of health and fitness and this love for what they do is seen day in and day out. As a coach myself, I want to emulate their example and can only hope my athletes trust me they way that the V23 community trusts them.

Fantastic experience: I'm so glad I found V23! The programming is challenging but super fun and incorporates much more than your typical "crossfit" gym. Intense focus on correct form while building strength and spotlighting and properly correcting my weaknesses is what I've found here. Every minute I'm at V23 is spent well. I'm never bored with the programming and find myself excited to be a part of whats in store every day. I'm becoming a better working human as a result of V23 and I'm finding myself doing things I've never been able to do (or thought I could do). Coaches Beau and Ruthie are great, knowledgeable and encouraging but push for excellence and results just come.

Fantastic experience: I couldn't be more thankful to have Ruthie and Beau in my life! I recently relocated from the East Coast to Denver for work but came with baggage of a recent hip surgery fresh off crutches! Ruthie and Beau welcomed me with open arms accepting the challenges that we'd face getting me up to speed with customized workouts and rehabilitation in hopes to get back on the platform!! The gym has everything you need with the perks of wonderful members and owners.V23 Athletics invests in you as an individual and family member. I can honestly say, I have found my new home!

Fantastic experience: Great coaching, great programming, and supportive (and competitive) members. Phenomenal place for all skill levels. Great place to start your fitness journey, as well as to move to the next level!

Fantastic experience: I feel so fortunate to be part of the V23 community. I completely trust Beau and Ruthie in guiding me through my fitness journey in a way that reaps results without compromising my safety, pushes me out of my comfort zone, and keeps me wanting more. The amazing community and culture they’ve created is one that I am extremely proud to be a part of. I can’t say enough good things about V23-it’s amazing.

Fantastic experience: Everyday I learn something new at v23. The only constant is showing up and taking part in the experience. If you have ever struggled with commitment to a gym, this place will change you. Beau and Ruthie make being fit and strong a way of life, the way it should be.

Fantastic experience: It is the best! They motivate and help me work out. Awesome people here!
