Colfax Strong- Strength & Conditioning

Fantastic experience: I just move to Denver from South FL and looked at a few workout locations. First and foremost I decided to join Colfax Strong-Strength & Conditioning because they took the time to get to know me and my workout goals. They also sold me on it being a place where members help each other out - almost a community environment - and it is. You get a lot of ancillary services included with your monthly membership - services other gyms would charge extra. Lastly, the facility is great. No shortage of equipment and plenty of space for workouts.

Fantastic experience: I can't say enough good things about Colfax Strong. The coaching is top notch, and the community makes this place truly special. The programming is great and touches all areas of fitness, and the space itself is incredible. The scheduled athlete/coach check-ins are a great touch as well, they help you stay on track towards your own personal goals, and the coaches give great feedback on how to achieve them both in and outside of class. If you're in the Denver area, Colfax Strong is a gym you have to check out.

Fantastic experience: I found Colfax Strong because I needed a community minded gym that would help me get my body back in shape and fit around my work schedule. The facility is a large open space with a range of equipment and weights. It is clean and kept in good condition. The environment is active! Ages range from 20s, many 30s, but also 40s on up. One of the owners, Chad, talked me through the onboarding process. He listened carefully, explained what is offered, that included multiple daily group training classes, a weekly yoga class, a body assessment, and nutritional coaching. If I wish, there is open gym time, personal training, and the barbell club. He helped me set my first quarter goals. I appreciate that it is progress orientated. I took a free class before signing up, to make sure it was a good match and have started with 3 days a week for a while before graduating to the unlimited plan. Coaches are knowledgeable, friendly, and encouraging. I am new to CrossFit and definitely nervous before classes. (Still working on becoming friends with box jumps.) However, each class starts with talking over major movements and warmups incorporate components to help you practice. Coaches move around throughout and when needed/wanted, offer individuals pointers, help teach form, or offer modifications. (You can track your progress after each class with an app.) The yoga class is great to help stretch out sore muscles and joints. I appreciate that the culture is geared toward those who are willing to work hard. People are friendly and welcoming. The feeling of community is evident. Owners take pride in maintaining their space, creating effective programs, and taking care of people. You will be challenged, no matter your level of experience or strength, but each individual is responsible to challenge themselves and keep improving. I am learning, modifying as I need to, but with consistency, I will get stronger, leaner, improved mobility, and gain back confidence. You will sweat, struggle, pant, and even laugh - in a positive and supportive environment! I am grateful and recommend others join in!

Fantastic experience: A fantastic gym; great community and coaches. Highly recommend this gym to anyone!

Fantastic experience: I signed up at Colfax Strong 6 months ago, and it’s the first CrossFit gym that I've joined. They go out of their way to make you feel welcome and to create a sense of community within the gym. The coaches are all very knowledgeable, and encouraging. They do a great job helping you modify and scale workouts and/or individual exercises. The workouts are demanding, but they make the experience fun and rewarding. I’d recommend this place to anyone whether they are new to CrossFit or not.

Fantastic experience: This place is more than a gym! They have really nice equipment with plenty of space, but more importantly the staff is welcoming and invested in helping you accomplish your goals. Also the community consists of people from all different backgrounds and carries good energy that will make you want to come back.

Fantastic experience: Being brand new to CrossFit, I researched gyms around the area and decided to try this one. From the moment I inquired about membership, the coaches at Colfax Strong reached out immediately and have made my onboarding process absolutely seamless, smooth, and fun. These folks know not only how to run a great business, but their attention to detail for new members (dedicated instruction, remembering my name, and personal text messages to name a few) has made my first few weeks here so much more than I thought they would be. Also, the other gym members are all very supporting and friendly. This is THE place.

Fantastic experience: As somebody who had never done Crossfit before, Colfax Strong was amazing. Their owners, coaches, and community are 10/10! Everybody was encouraging, knowledgeable, patient and friendly from the first day I joined and ever since. They always provided appropriate and accessible scaling options for my skill level but encouraged me to push myself and become stronger. I am so thankful to have found this space in my move to Denver. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Colfax Strong is the absolute best - my partner and I moved from NYC and have had no issue making friends at this gym. Everyone, from staff to coaches to members, are so nice and welcoming. The facility is large with everything you would ever need to exercise with. There are always dogs hanging out, so if you love dogs that’s a major plus as well!

Fantastic experience: I joined this gym about a year ago and it has been such a great addition to my life. Each class is different and they do a great job of cycling through different strength intervals. All the coaches are great and each workout can be scaled (up or down) to meet everyones needs. Most importantly, this gym is SO fun and has a great community behind it!

Fantastic experience: I was in Denver recently for my college friends wedding and wanted to stay on my routine (especially being a little more indulgent with the festivities)! I came across Colfax from a simple Google search for "Strength Training / CrossFit Gyms in Denver" and boy was I not disappointed. I did drop in sessions for my long and weekend - took a class with Coach Roman and did open gym for the remainder of my time. Coach Roman and the team were knowledgeable, focused on good form, and welcoming. The facility was a dream - they had a great variety and quantity of equipment from rowers and ski ergs to barbells, plates, kettlebells, med balls...truly if you name, they had it. The gym was spacious and clean - each station had a basket with towels and sanitizer spray bottles to clean up your equipment as well as a white board and marker to record your weights and times. I look forward to my next trip to Denver and to make a pit stop at Colfax. Thank you guys!

Fantastic experience: So happy I picked this community. I’m new to Denver and my time at Colfax Strong has made my experience here worthwhile. I’ve been going for three months and I’ve seen tremendous change. All the coaches really care about your progress and encourage you to achieve your goals, without the pressure and competition you experience in other gyms. The programming is top notch. If you enjoy the satisfying feeling of being sore the next day, this is your place. Fun peeps, clean gym and killer workouts. What more do you want? Best bang for your buck! Come check it out.

Fantastic experience: I've been going to Colfax Strong now for almost month and wow. The community, the positive contagious attitude, the difficult workouts all make this place super special. This places cares about you and it shows. By my second day the coaches had already remembered my name and had tailored things to my physical fitness levels. I'm really excited to see how training at Colfax Strong will impact my ultras and longer fitness efforts. Thank you for creating an amazing community.

Fantastic experience: THIS IS YOUR NEW GYM! Chad and Esther (the owners) have something really special going on in this gym. The community is so tight and fun, the coaches are so knowledgeable and assist in your growth in such an encouraging way you never feel incompetent to succeed any work out. They also have open gym to do your own thing and even personal trainers. Nick is awesome, my one on ones with him help improve technique to continue to progress. So happy I found Colfax Strong this past January!

Fantastic experience: This gym is the best gym I've ever been to, hands down. The coaches are true experts, the community is incredible, and I've seen my body transform more in 3 months working out here than 5 years of weightlifting on my own. They really care about their members, and are always improving. The people that work out here are so strong, it really pushes you to be better and reframes what you think you are capable of. They even do scheduled check ins to make sure you are getting the most out of your membership. Could not possibly recommend more, it is the highlight of my day!

Fantastic experience: excellent gym. Covers all the bases: community, leadership, facility, expertise, encouragement......you will make major progress towards your fitness goals

Fantastic experience: First the owners and the coaches are amazing... There is so much encouragement and positive reinforcement for everyone. As you can imagine everybody is at a different level but for myself I am just getting back to working out after Covid, not to mention I am probably a little more "mature" than many of the other members...lol. The gym facilities are spacious and unlike many other places around town, this is a serious, no-nonsense workout place. The classes start on time and end on time because people are always waiting for the next class. But make no mistake... Everybody is so friendly and it is a fun place to belong...with outstanding results!!

Fantastic experience: I have never been a member of a gym that went out of their way to make me feel like such a welcomed member. This gym is ALL about COMMUNITY, and it really shows. Not only are the instructors helpful and supportive, but I've always felt encouraged and by them as well as other gym members! I have never felt judged for needing to switch to lighter weights or take breaks (since I'm still a beginner). I have also never once felt berated or "yelled at". If anything, they keep offering words of encouragement and positivity and that is what drives me to keep going!! I am so excited to keep going with my membership, and I have to say, this community keeps me wanting to go back over and over again. I have never enjoyed lifting heavy things so much! :) Highly, HIGHLY recommend! UPDATE (2/16/2022): Although I initially was concerned about the monthly cost, this gym is definitely worth the investment - especially for my future health! I've been going consistently for the past 5-months and the change I've noticed in my body is extraordinary. I've never been able to be consistent with weight training, and the fact that they: - have you sign up for classes ahead of time (accountability) - have experts available to help with scaling options + form (safety) - have members that are supportive and friendly (community) - change up the workouts every day so that I never get bored (diversity) - welcome people from all walks of life (inclusivity) I feel that I'm getting more out of this gym membership than any other I've committed to in the past! In a nutshell, they're rad. And I'm sticking around!

Fantastic experience: I made the wise decision to move 700 miles amid a pandemic. CrossFit was a staple of my routine back home so finding a gym was priority when I moved to Denver. I can easily say this gym has gotten me through some of my darkest days in the past 6 months. Moving to a brand new state, during a pandemic nonetheless but also in your 20s, makes finding friends difficult. This gym feels like home; Chad and Esther are such amazing, personable people and the coaches are knowledgeable, patient, fun but professional. The music we workout to is on point, the gym is so clean, and the workouts have pushed me to limits I didn’t know I could reach, let alone exceed. Walking into Colfax Strong is a great part of my day but walking out sweaty, breathless, filled with endorphins and a sense accomplishment is hands down the best part.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to this gym for almost two years now and love it here! Chad and Esther are great people and make you feel included within the community as a new member. I highly recommend for anyone who is looking to jumpstart their fitness journey or continue on the path of improving your skills in a fun workout environment!

Fantastic experience: This gym has exceeded my expectations in every way! I was very hesitant joining a crossfit gym due to the negative stigmas I am sure many of you are aware of...but Chad, Esther and the rest of the team do an incredible job of focusing on mechanics and building strength in the correct ways. On top of that, the workouts are hard/entertaining, the vibes are fun/ exciting, and the community is welcoming/engaging! Fantastic gym.

Fantastic experience: I’ve tried multiple gyms and this is community is by far my best experience! The coaches are very knowledgeable and really take the time to get to know you and help you through the workouts. Everyone is very friendly and encouraging. Lots of diversity and no judgment. Sandra is an amazing coach! I can’t say enough good things about Colfax Strong. Love this place!

Fantastic experience: I’m a huge fan of this gym — I recently decided to sign up here after trying out a few CrossFit gyms in the area, and my appreciation has only grown over the past few weeks. A few specifics on what makes this gym so special: 1) Tight/ smooth operations (that starts with responsiveness over email/ text) 2) Beautiful facility and brand new equipment 3) Coaching — warm and welcoming (eg, everyone knew my name within a week), with lots of individual feedback 4) Programming — I love that the Metcons are so challenging Working out here has become a highlight of my day.

Fantastic experience: One of the best gyms I’ve been apart of. The culture there is second to none. I’d highly recommend signing up. It may look intimidating but I promise you the coaches there will make you feel right at home and give you all the guidance you want/need.

Fantastic experience: This is an AWESOME place!! I joined Colfax Strong in February 2021 after almost a year away from CrossFit. I really enjoyed my 5 months there. The coaches (Chad, Esther, Jared, Sandra, and Ryan) were great, very knowledgeable. The classes are really well run. A fantastic community. I got so many great workouts in! The gym itself is a neat building, right off of Colfax Ave. The only reason I left is we moved. :/ Can’t say enough about the community, coaches, and environment! I will definitely be stopping in next time I am in Denver. :)

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality If you are looking for a positive, uplifting atmosphere to be a part of... Colfax Strong is the place. You are always greeted by their team with good energy and challenging workouts. They offer all you need through their equipment, classes, open gym and educational workshops.

Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough great things about colfax strong. I came in with minimal experience and got into (and continue getting into) the best shape of my life. The owners, coaches and members make for a helpful, encouraging and friendly community. There are opportunities to work on your fitness and your nutrition. Everything feels personal and intentional. Their covid protocols have made going to the gym in a pandemic feel safe. With each person in a sectioned off area, intense cleaning procedures, and capped class sizes they are taking every precaution to keep members and the community safe.

Fantastic experience: I was super nervous about joining a gym, as I've never done Crossfit or any type of weightlifting. However, the owners, coaches, and other gym goers were incredibly welcoming and accommodating. I was immediately at ease during the first workout because of the humble environment. The workouts are scalable so that ANYONE can do them. Whether you're a crossfit pro, new to the sport, are recovering from an injury, or even just tired that day, the coaches will meet you wherever you are in your fitness journey. The owners and coaches truly, truly care about their community. I cannot recommend this place enough.

Fantastic experience: Best fitness experience of my life. Being part of the LGBTQ+ community, it can be daunting heading to a new gym and not knowing the culture. I have been welcomed with open arms, challenged to pursue growth and self improvement, and filled with a sense of community and passion for this sport. Facilities are amazing, workouts are dynamic/excellent, and the community is strong. I feel privileged and grateful to be part of it. You would be too!

Fantastic experience: Colfax Strong is an amazing gym that truly has it all. Chad and Esther (The owners) are dedicated to helping members optimize their comprehensive fitness and health by way of goal sessions, check ups and daily conversations. The coaching staff is highly educated and extremely professional. The community is unbeatable!

Fantastic experience: Being new to CrossFit, I felt a bit nervous giving it a try, knowing that there are tons of exercises I'd be unfamiliar with and not knowing what the culture would be. I'm 2-3 weeks in now and I have felt welcomed every day since walking in the door! The workouts kick my butt in the best way, love the coaches, and feeling the community. It's continually one of the best parts of my day.

Fantastic experience: I've been a member of Colfax Strong for half a year now. From the moment you first walk into the building and all times after, you are greeted warmly and enthusiastically by both the coaches and its members. This gym puts a huge focus on not only quality and purposeful work outs, but also community and camaraderie. I always leave Colfax Strong feeling better than when I walked in. If you endeavor to get pumped up both mentally and physically, this is the place for you!

Fantastic experience: Five starts all day everyday. Best gym, workout, fitness, experience ever. I was just looking for gyms around the area and decided to take Colfax Strong's free class. I was sold in the first session. Everyone is having a blast in the gym all the time. You don't have to worry about planning a workout, all you have to do is walk in and join a class. This is the biggest plus for me, I never could stick to a workout plan on my own, plus I am no expert so building out a workout plan was always more guess work then anything else. Coaches are amazing, super easy to talk to, very knowledgeable, and they are always there to help you improve your form and movements. TLDR: 5 Stars, give the free class a try, you too will be writing a 5 star review a few months later.

Fantastic experience: It’s been over a year coming to Colfax Strong and I couldn’t be more happy about this place! AMAZING coaches who encourage you to give your 100%, always aware of your performance and helping you out to get better everyday, incredible people you get to workout with (we do this together), such a flexible schedule and you have SO MUCH FUN while getting a challenging workout done! If there’s a 10 star review I would give it to this community!

Fantastic experience: I've been working out since college and this is by far the best gym I've seen. The focus on quality coaching is truly impressive. Their coaches (and the community) create a safe atmosphere for beginners and have the skills and training to also help the experts continue to refine and improve their skills. The space is also fantastic - the equipment and facilities are clean and they continually invest to ensure we have everything necessary for a great workout.

Fantastic experience: It's been two months since I joined Colfax crossfit. At first, I was very nervous and felt like I didn't belong quite yet, but I am so thankful to Chad and Esther for making me feel more than welcome. It felt like it wasn’t getting any easier, but I feel stronger and more confident and one of my goals was to get stronger and be confident in using and lifting weights. Chad advised to do the best I can until I can do more and it motivated me to keep going while Esther inspired me and fueled my hunger for more strength in weight and that made me happy. I guess the 3 Hs are working on me : 3H: Be humble, be hungry and and be happy I am happy to see how strong I'm becoming I am humble and grateful for the encouragement and strength I am getting from Colfax CrossFit

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Amazing experience at Colfax Strong! Coaches and owners are super helpful! They really care about seeing improvements in everyone and really promote a great sense of community there. I never thought I would be where I am now physically and mentally if it wasn't for this place pushing me to be better and better. Get ready to get worked!

Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough great things about this gym…the coaches are spectacular, the members rally during workouts, the equipment is clean and organized, the WOD is discussed prior to starting the session. The focus on form is bar none and the coaches are very humble correcting forms during warm ups to ensure the exercise is done safely/effectively during the WOD. The owners are very communicative with their initiatives and outlining the long term goals. They are also one of the most active businesses in the community with an open invite to volunteer. Colfax Strong is more than a gym, it is a well needed service to the community! Thank you all - Pinther’s for establishing Colfax Strong and to Sandra/Jared for your diligence, guidance, and motivation while training group sessions. Most of all, thank you fellow members for accepting me into your community and pushing me to be better every workout….. you put the STRONG in Colfax Strong.. I couldn’t be more thankful to have joined and be accepted by this community! Chance

Fantastic experience: I am so happy I found Colfax Strong! I have been doing CrossFit for about 10 years and have been apart of a lot of gyms. This one has an amazing culture, really knowledgeable coaches and it’s a beautiful gym with tons of equipment. It’s obvious that the coaches love what they do and that makes it a fun but challenging place to train. I’m impressed by the level of attention each athlete gets and the level of support that’s available if you want it. I love that there is a range of athletes and abilities in each class. It’s a friendly, competitive, low stress gym for anyone at any ability. You won’t be disappointed, and you will get an amazing workout.

Fantastic experience: I am not a cross-fit person, but I did personal training with Nick for several months and I can't recommend him or this gym more. Nick was an amazing trainer, and he was extremely careful and considerate with my injuries. He was always observant and positive and helped me a lot! If you are considering PT, I can't recommend Nick any higher. Best PT I've worked with, easily. The rest of the gym seemed to have a wonderful culture as well! Chad and Esther are nice and good people, and I highly recommend joining and supporting this gym.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Just started here about 2 weeks ago and it's been great! The coaches are all awesome and super helpful. The community members are super friendly and you feel right at home. Plus, you leave every day knowing you got your work in and thats what matters, highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Chad and Esther run a top notch establishment. Classes are organized and run smoothly. The equipment, space and cleanliness are exceptional. The community welcoming and engaged. Programming is thoughtful, challenging and appropriate for a broad set of experience levels. 5 stars and an A+ for road warriors and new crossfitters alike.

Fantastic experience: The coaches are all qualified, knowledgeable, and helpful. The trust they've earned from me has me confidently doing lifts that I was too nervous to try on my own. I've also made more progress in a few months here than a year on my own. If you're new to fitness they always have scaling options, so no matter what you can do, they find a way to push you that works.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to the gym for the last five months, and I am really enjoying it. I regret not joining years earlier considering that I’ve lived so close to the gym for so many years. Anyway, I am glad I finally joined.. The coaches are friendly, informative, and focus on improving an athlete’s form and technique, which I appreciate since I’m a novice. The gym fosters a culture of empowering and celebrating athletes’ personal growth and achievements. It is spacious, clean and, most importantly, dog friendly. I appreciate the equipment that the gym has recently purchased (e.g. sleds) and has maintained.

Fantastic experience: Chad and Esther are some of the most incredible gym owners I have ever had the pleasure of working with. They obviously care about their members and tailor their coaching style to each individual. They put in the time and effort to get to know each individual and help them reach whatever goals they have. I have been doing Crossfit for 10 years and this is the best facility I have worked with. They choose each coach very carefully and it shows. I am so happy that I joined this community and feel like along with being welcomed into a family my fitness has increased greatly! The facility is so clean and the equipment is extremely well taken care of. I love Crossfit Colfax!!!

Fantastic experience: This is the most amazing gym I’ve ever joined! I have been going to various national chains and local gyms for decades. CrossFit Colfax’s owners/coaches Are the best in the industry. They truly care about me as a member and an individual. With their support, I am sure that I will meet or exceed my physical goals. I have not met a member who I dislike. Simply the best gym in Denver! I would recommend this gym to anyone living in the uptown or Capitol Hill neighborhoods!

Fantastic experience: I moved here about 9 months ago and got a tad out of shape due to how hard it was to breathe at this altitude. In the past, my husband had done CrossFit, but I had only really dropped in because it intimidated me. But I have loved my experience. Yes, the workouts are challenging, but I have seen myself get stronger and feel so much better. All the coaches are always checking in and willing to help with anything from fitness to nutrition. I was always a little nervous about Crossfit before because lifting can be scary, but the coaches are so great at making any difficult workout/life obtainable (I super appreciate it). I actually ended up moving and my new apartment is further from the gym, but I will 100% stick with CrossFit Colfax because of the community and it is my favorite gym I have been to! Love them all!

Fantastic experience: Crossfit Colfax is awesome! Great coaches, members and facilities. Chad and Esther have built a great culture and community within the gym that I haven't experienced before. Would definitely recommend to anyone regardless of experience level - they've got you covered no matter what part of your fitness journey you're in!

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of CrossFit Colfax for nearly 4 years. It is a well-equipped, clean, and huge gym that has everything you’d want in a CrossFit box. The coaches are extremely knowledgeable and help athletes of every level reach their fitness goals. Chad and Esther, the owners, are great people who genuinely love fostering a community of successful athletes in a welcoming environment. I cant recommend this gym highly enough!

Fantastic experience: Dropped in here while I was in town and had a great experience. The coaches were fantastic and welcoming and the facility is top notch. One of the best CrossFit gyms I’ve ever visited and will definitely come back next year.

Fantastic experience: Love this place! I joined CrossFit Colfax after moving to Denver and was immediately welcomed into an incredible community. Great workouts and knowledgeable coaches. Lexi in particular has helped me so much with her nutrition coaching and helped me completely transform my relationship with food and nutrition. Shoutout to Esther for playing my favorite pump-up music during those extra tough WOD's!
