I started CrossFit in 2012 and, like many others, got addicted to the methodology, the community, and the physical and mental changes I saw in myself. I completed my L1 CrossFit Trainer certificate in 2015 and my L2 in 2019. Most of all, I love following athletes from when they show up for their first class, not yet realizing their potential, and then helping them achieve greatness.

Most of all, I love following athletes from their first class, when they have no idea of their potential, and helping them achieve greatness.

I have been a certified personal trainer with the National Association of Sports Medicine since 2007, and a Level 1 CrossFit trainer since 2018. I am passionate about fitness and enjoy seeing others achieve their fitness goals. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family and exploring the world.

I began my CrossFit journey at Crossfit Templum in 2017 and have gained many friends, business partners, and relationships for life, not to mention muscles!

I lost 50lbs through dedication and hard work. I am surrounded by great coaches who lead by example and inspire others to do the same. In 2019, I decided to become a coach myself and help others achieve their goals.

I've been interested in technology for my whole life, and I got into CrossFit when I realized I needed to start exercising more. I had no idea it would have such a positive impact on my life, both in terms of my physical health and my mental state. I really enjoy being part of the CrossFit community and helping others achieve their fitness goals, whether it's through coaching or working out together.

The individual has the following certifications: CrossFit Level 2 Trainer, USA Weightlifting Level 2, Burgener Strength Weightlifting Level 2, Conjugate Power Lifting Level 1, CrossFit Kids Trainer, Gymnastics Certificate, Spot the Flaw Certificate, SafeSport Trained, and CPR/AED Certified.

I have been working in the fitness industry for over 20 years and I am passionate about helping others reach their full potential physically, mentally, and spiritually. I can guarantee that CrossFit Templum is unlike any other fitness facility out there. I often tell my coaches that people won’t care how much you know until they know how much you care, and that’s something that CrossFit Templum embodies day in and day out. We want you to be the best that you can be, and when you surround yourself with the right people in the right place, miracles can and will happen. So what are you waiting for? Come join the Templum Family – you won’t regret it!

CrossFit Eminence: Opinions

5/5 (53 Opinions)
Top Rated Gym
Monica Medina 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: The Crossfit community is tight knit, but CFE takes it to another level. The owners work hard to bring to the community an awesome box where you can get your sweat on - and the members bring another element to the gym that makes this a community within a community. I'm a big fan... three years and counting. Thanks, Kris and Lindsey, for a wonderful place to work out - bonus! they always keep it clean!

Regan Doele 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Originally I started as a member of the CrossFit Eminence community, and currently am a part of the amazing coaching staff within Eminence. As a member I realized that Lindsey and Kris Marcelli are far more than fantastic coaches and owners of the gym, they are committed to making individuals stronger both mentally and physically. Members are treated like friends and family making the strongest sense of community I have ever been a part of. Being a member of other CrossFit gyms, as well as coaching at another facility, I can personally say that CrossFit Eminence is the quintessential CrossFit gym of Colorado.

Chris Thomas 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I had the opportunity to attend a CrossFit related seminar this weekend at CFE and to meet the owners/operators of the facility. CFE has a very organized professional clean look from the second you step in the door. Although I did not get to participate in a workout (we were there for the seminar) if the classes are run half as well as the building I would put them in the top few gyms I have visited ranging from all over the west coast. I look forward to my next visit to CFE!

Chris Todd 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: This box has everyone you need to start your fitness journey. Awesome coaches, great facility with a wealth of equipment and they have classes all day including lunch. Definitely worth checking out.

Cathie Corso 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Everyone was so welcoming from the first day I stepped inside of the gym. You're definitely a part of a team/family from day one. The support you get from members and coaches is amazing. I've even started trying to get my friends to join in the fun.

William Graham 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I've been working out at this gym 3 months now. It's a great place to work out. The staff are always nice and helpful. The gym is clean and the equipment is awesome.

Amanda Greene 1 year ago

Alexis Scotten 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Very welcoming, great community and always able to adapt to anyones needs or current fitness level. I love the social activities they plan! This place makes going to the gym fun and something to look forward to

Gio Sierra 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Very friendly atmosphere. The owners were extremely welcoming to me and my family. We had a blast doing the Murph workout here! Highly recommend.

Kristina R 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: This is not your typical CrossFit gym, not only do they provide a comprehensive CrossFit program but also support powerlifting/barbell, cardio and Olympic weight lifting programs. My fiancé and I currently do the powerlifting classes; we have learned so much and made significant progress on our personal health and fitness goals. What I really find helpful and unique is that the classes are small enough that you get individualized attention when needed and big enough to make friends and get positive community aspect if that is what you are looking for. Everyone is extremely nice, welcoming and goal oriented. We are so lucky to have stumbled upon this gym, the coaches and all the other great people that go here. Thank you CrossFit Eminence!

Elizabeth Royse 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Very glad I joined CrossFit Eminence. The support from the coaches is more than I could have expected. As a new person coming into CrossFit everyone has been very patient with me to make sure I am learning at my pace and doing all of the workouts safely. I love the variety of workouts and I love the energy that I get after class.

Russell Connally 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym and community. Coaches are supportive and aligned with helping members achieve their goals. Spirit is always fun and motivating. Definitely recommend!

Justin B (jaBreaker) 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I came here specifically to train more for Olympic lifting and sometimes powerlifting. The coaches that I worked with (more specifically Andy and Chad in most cases) were very knowledgeable, patient, and encouraging. As someone more experienced in the Olympic lifts, their input and insight to the discipline helped me advance myself into the sport further and am now looking to compete soon. Beginner or experienced I highly recommend this gym because of the coaches, equipment, and facility. As a bonus point, when they open the garage doors during the workout, you get a great view of the downtown Denver skyline. One last point, while I didn’t do much CrossFit workouts there, the CrossFit class is very well done. Enthusiastic and encouraging coaches, well thought out programming, and a respectable atmosphere is felt at these classes. If you do have more questions be sure to reach out to the owner listed on the website, he checks and responds to the emails there often.

Ashley Watson 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I always wanted to do CrossFit, and decided to give CrossFit Eminence a try. So far it's been one of the best decisions I've made in a while. Everyone was so welcoming from the first day I stepped inside of the gym. You're definitely a part of a team/family from day one. The support you get from members and coaches is amazing. I've even started trying to get my friends to join in the fun. If you're on the fence of giving CrossFit a try this is where you want to be!

Olin White 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Chad has been absolutely tremendous. He customizes a work out that suits my needs and abilities. He cares and listens to his clientele and has been exemplary in coaching me and helping build strength and confidence after a significant injury.

Deanna C 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: CFE is a second home for me. The community is welcoming and friendly to newcomers. There's an excellent coaching staff that has worked with me to modify WODs so I never feel excluded due to my injuries. The owners are exceptional people who are truly dedicated to running the gym and creating a wonderful community that I am very fortunate to be a part of.

Cesar Garcia 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: When I first joined CrossFit Eminence, I noticed that they were extremely friendly and clean. I came with certain goals and the entire team helped me achieve my goals. I enjoy coming to the gym everyday with people who I consider my 2nd family.

Giannina Orozco 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: First off what a space! This gym is always sparkly clean and has great equipment on both the CrossFit & Open gym side to include Olympic plates and platform. This crew is warm and friendly and the classes are great! This is a great gym to come into CrossFit as a beginner or advanced athlete. Well rounded staff with wellness offerings and a great community, what more can you ask for?!

Chris Paul 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Crossfit Eminence for a month now. I felt very welcomed into the community by coaches, staff, and athletes. All coaches are extremely knowledgeable and passionate. Being new to crossfit I felt very safe, as they were able to scale the workouts for me. Also one of the cleanest gyms I’ve been in.

Dan Mester 4 years ago

Ashley Gerhart 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I really enjoyed my experience at CrossFit Eminence! All of the coaches/gym regulars are extremely friendly and willing to help you in any way they can. I truly felt a sense of community at the gym and was invited to events they were hosting my first few days of working out! I would highly recommend for those interested in a fun and no-pressure CrossFit experience.

Kelli Wood 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I've been to many CrossFit gyms and this is at the top of the list! It had a great atmosphere, very welcoming staff and members, and I even got my first class free. The gym is huge and the equipment is in fantastic condition. Highly recommend!

Perla Juarez 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I always wanted to do crossfit but wasn't brave enough to join a class I actually got a membership at other crossfit gyms but never went because it was very intimidating to workout with people who have been doing this for years and made feel like I wasn't good enough to be there but I decided to give it a shot and signed up for a 6 wk challenge and loved it. The coaches are awesome they really care about the people, are very professional and help you to improve, the people is very welcoming, they have several classes throughout the day. This really is an amazing community. There's no other place like Crossfit Eminence.

Chris Kleinhenz 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Lindsey and Chris are both amazing people. They reply to emails promptly and were extremely accommodating and welcoming as I was trying to drop in and complete my Open workouts. The box is large, fully equipped, and the staff and members are awesome! If I lived in town, this would be my new home You won’t regret visiting or joining their family

joseph candelairo 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: This place is great! My fiancé Valerie Fernandez and I took the six week challenge and we could not ask for better results! From the owners to the staff, everyone is so supportive and knowledgeable in every aspect. We would recommend CrossFit eminence to everybody. We hope you take the challenge and stick with it!

Madeline Mathieson 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: The word Crossfit is so intimidating, when I would tell people that I was doing a Crossfit challenge I would always receive a shocked look in response. However, that is not the case at CFE. Yes, the workouts are quite a challenge, but the coaches, staff, and members at CFE are all so welcoming and friendly, it’s hard to not feel good there, even if you feel like you might throw up after one of their workouts. I just completed one of the six week challenges, and I’m so much stronger, healthier, and happier thanks to everyone at CFE!

Jenna Heneghan 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I joined CFE in the fall of 2017 and love everything about the gym! The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. They really go above and beyond to make sure you feel comfortable and understand what's going on. To give an example of how much they care, they wrote me a handwritten congratulations for a marathon I completed while at the gym. This had nothing to do with Crossfit, it was just genuinely a nice thing they did. The gym itself is in great condition, always clean and organized, which makes a difference. If you're new to the area or just dropping CFE is the way to go.

Brittney Williams 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I dropped in to CrossFit Eminence for one of the Open workouts and was blown away by how welcoming the members and staff were at this box. The trainers were incredibly pleasant, encouraging, and helpful. I received a follow up hand written post card in the mail a few weeks later thanking me for stopping in. I thought that was such a sweet, personable touch. The box is absolutely beautiful as well. It's incredibly large, spacious, and clean. I would absolutely recommend visiting this gym.

Josh H 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: This gym is truly one of a kind. Everyone there is amazing. The facilities are very clean and well kept. I’m reading other’s reviews and constantly agreeing with what all the other people are saying! It’s all true. If you find yourself looking for a gym, your search has ended as soon as you step foot through their doors. It’ll be your new home away from home. Bet me!

Brooke 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Ive been a member now for over a year and its been life changing. I walked into this gym terrified of CrossFit and embarrassed about having to scale everything. The biggest (and for me most important) thing is no person, athlete or coach, ever made me feel uncomfortable in working out at my own ability level. They accommodate every single person to their ability. That is honestly hard to find at most CrossFit gyms. Now that my abilities have improved, they have the coaches to support higher level CrossFit and Olympic lifting. This gym offers the support system for what ever level you aspire to be.

Amanda Vasquez 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: So glad I decided to be brave and join the 6 week challenge at this gym!! All the coaches are super nice, friendly and welcoming! There is absolutely no judgement on your physical capabilities in CrossFit (trust me I needed a lot of guidance!) they are there to solely help you become a better you! And to have fun while doing it!! I’m so thankful that I had them to show me the right direction for my health & fitness. I highly recommend this gym to anyone and everyone!

Alex Gradisher 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I am more of a mountain biker than a weight lifter or fitness model. If you are at all familiar with crossfit you are aware of the level of fitness associated with the sport. It is almost intimidating. But I decided I wanted to be do some cross training with crossfit to reach my Mountain bike goals. I was honestly surprised walking into this gym how warm and encouraging everyone was. The vibe of Crossfit Eminence isn't I am stronger than you I am better than you. It is definitely a very supportive environment and you get the feeling that everyone wants to see you do better than you did the last time. Also Surprisingly ( I say surprisingly probably because this is my first crossfit gym) family friendly. The owners and coaches are very approachable and willing to help you when ever you have a question. This was definitely more than I expected from a gym and Its no surprise I plan on continuing my membership through the mountain bike season and on. #Crosstrainingisawesome

Chelsey Crittendon 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I Love working out at Corssfit Eminence! Great coaches who truly care about your body and making sure your form in every lift is where it should be. They make sure you get an incredible work out and are safe while doing it. I am MUCH stronger today, just 3 months after joining thanks to their support and coaching!!! I HIGHLY recommend checking them out!!

Rachel Voyles 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I can't even put this gym, the owners, the coaches or the atmosphere on the same playing field as not just another CrossFit gym... but another gym as a whole. If you live anywhere close to Denver but you're going somewhere else... you're probably still a good person, but something needs to change. Kris and Lindsey rock and what they've created comes unparalleled. To elaborate... that is a completely objective and unexaggerated review. The level that they prioritize education of coaches (every coach has more than their Level 1 cert and is passionate not just about fitness but about correct/ideal movement and health as a whole), cleanliness of the gym, a familial and supportive vibe that won't quit -- it's the ideal recipe for adopting a healthy lifestyle.

Freedom Ha 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I dropped into CrossFit Eminence the week before Christmas in order to get in some weightlifting workouts. I was blown away with how tight knit and friendly the community was. Kris and Lindsey have made a gym environment where you can feel the positive vibes as soon as you walk through the door. This is no easy task, but their gym has great equipment, clean facilities, and is well organized. If you are looking for a place to not only workout, but make friends and have fun, this is your gym!

Vuyani Mahluza 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I wish I had known of CrossFit Eminence several years ago, I truly believe that anywhere you go or visit or become a member off, it is the people that make the place. CrossFit Eminence truly emulates this through and through. The mixture of the various personalities represented at CrossFit Eminence, and how they all come together to achieve one common goal blows my mind. What more can I say, amazing owners, coaches, people it is truly a family of fitness and I am loving it.

Rebecca Bernal 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: If you think you need to be some kind of super-human athlete to do CrossFit, you are wrong. I was 50 lbs overweight when I started CrossFit, and was even in my prime an average athlete at best. It doesn't matter. The coaches and members here are so supportive and they will help you through the workouts and to find movements that are comfortable and work for you. I look forward to going to the gym everyday because I know I will leave feeling great about myself. They are constantly mixing up the programming and buying new equipment so that we are never bored. The owners also sponsor a ton of great causes. I have been here just over a year, I have lost 32 pounds, I have completely changed the way I eat, I am stronger, and I have new like-minded friends who prioritize their health and fitness... I seriously could go on all day. If you want to try CrossFit, check them out. They will give you a free session! You have nothing to lose!

Jessica H 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I really can't say enough about how great CFE is. Whether you're already in serious shape or need a lot of modifications to get there, the coaches really expend the time and effort needed to help you improve every time and get what you want out of your workouts; whatever that means to you. Also the community is amazing and the workouts are always fun and challenging. I would highly recommend CFE to anyone.

Lindsey Lovgren 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have been going to CrossFit Eminence for the past 6 years and would never go to any other CrossFit gym. They have the best facility, coaches, training, and community, and are excellent at what they do. All of the staff is extremely knowledgeable in both CrossFit and Olympic weightlifting, and everyone is very helpful and welcoming to members and visitors of the gym. I would highly recommend Eminence to both longtime Cross-fitters and those who are new to the sport.

Sophie West 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: I found out about CrossFit Eminence on Facebook and signed up for their 6 week bootcamp just to see if I could do it. Now I'm totally addicted! What an awesome community. The owners and all the coaches are great people and seem to really care about each individual's results and experience. If you like a kick ass workout and a really amazing team environment, CFE is worth every penny.

kids Bradbrook 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: Boot camp was amazing the coaches amazing. So much so that we joined for unlimited crossfit! They really made us feel at home everyone is really friendly the coaches are really helpful during and outside class! Love love love would recommend to anyone.

Emily Harvey 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: I started an all woman's boot camp back in January, it was amazing. It kicked my butt and I lost 25 lbs in 6 weeks. After boot camp was finished there were no regular classes that fit my schedule, an amazing coach stepped up and said he would figure it out. He and the owner worked with me and a small group and created a new class just to fit our schedule! I have also done some of their regular classes, those are great as well. Every coach that I've worked with has been super nice and educated. Love this gym but most importantly love the people. They are amazing at what they do, I recommend CFE to anyone and everyone. You won't regret it.

Mark Gjestvang 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: Crossfit Eminence is my second home. I was introduced by my family, and once I got started. I never gave it up. All the sweat and blood i have shed at your gym has turned me into a new, happier person. This place is the best place to be!

Lori Mathis 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: I started the 6 week bootcamp in April, I had never taken a fitness class in my life and didn't know if I would like it. I loved it enough to sign up for unlimited classes! The coaches are all fantastic and very supportive.

Josh Barron 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have never been apart of such a supportive, accepting , and encouraging community. The changes I have seen in my life not only physically but socially as well have been incredible. The coaching staff is second to none with serious focus on health and overall wellness and of course mainly fitness. Thanks for everything Crossfit Eminence! Also the cleanest gym I have ever been to .... Ever!

Justin Lisius 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: Crossfit Eminence is an amazing gym! I had some apprehension about starting crossfit but from the very first time I walked into the gym I was warmly welcomed. This gym takes away all of the intemidating aspects of getting started. The mood in the gym is lighthearted but very focused on fitness and safety. If you are reading this, considering going to a class or just looking for something to jumpstart a healthier lifestyle this is the place to go! You won't regret it. See you there.

Allie Rose Grodzki 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of the CrossFit Eminence family for a year now, and I have only amazing things to say about the facility, the coaches, and the programming. The CrossFit programming is challenging and variable and all of the coaches continue to expand their own learning and strive for more certifications, seminars, etc. There are also in-house nutritionists, a sports medicine doctor/chiropractor, photographer, and the owners put in tons of work making sure their members are happy and supplied with everything they need to better themselves in the health and fitness arena. In particular, they strive to recognize members for their accomplishments and are invested in helping people of all levels to achieve their goals. I also am a member of the Advanced Weightlifting Eminence Barbell Club. All of the coaches have multiple Olympic Weightlifting certifications and are always willing to spend individual time with you to work on skills and help you improve your lifts. The Barbell Club is an open format, which is super flexible and great for any schedule; you can come in the morning or the evening and there is always a coach around. You also can access the training program on an app on your phone, have plenty of high quality equipment available for you to use, and tons of open space. I highly recommend giving CFE a try, you won't be disappointed!
