Mountain Strong Denver Climbing and CrossFit^®

Fantastic experience: We had the best experience possible. The coaching staff was super knowledgeable; the gym was perfect (really great equipment); and everyone was extremely friendly. I would definitely recommend checking out the gym if you're in the area. You'll definitely get a great workout!

Fantastic experience: Great coaching, enjoyable environment, high quality equipment, fun and challenging routines. There isn't a gym like it the Denver area. The friendliness of the participants and the coaches stand out to me, and the mixture of a group workout as well as one-on-one coaching was great.

Fantastic experience: As a rock climber and someone who had never really worked out before, this place is perfect. They offer the perfect opportunity to get into crossfit, and work with every person individually to ensure no one injures themselves. The Kraft classes are perfect for any climber who has plateaued and needs a little coaching to push their climbing to the next level.

Fantastic experience: When the original owners had their hands more in the process, this place was a palace of hard work. As they became more distanced (which happens as companies grow) you could see that this place was losing its mountain-first mentality and became a circus driven by ego (by one specific coach in particular). It seems that this place is headed back to its original state of focus - training hard and intensely so one can defeat their mountain sport goals. Bummed I'm not back in CO to be here anymore, but stoked that it will regain the status of being an Iron Temple where only the hardest are forged, focused on the mettle of the mountain.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality I did a 6-week climbing clinic here - Christian and Matt are badass and showed us tons of great strength and climbing related training! Definitely worth it - they’ll build up your power and technique!

Fantastic experience: Best gym I’ve ever joined. The coaches and community make the difference. From a coaching perspective, technique and safety come before performance. The coaches care more that you don’t get hurt than any other nonsense. The community, while friendly, pushes you to do your best. I’ve seen more gains in the last year than from any other competitive workout program.

Fantastic experience: Mountain Strong has been incredible to me. Their trainers are exceptional, the overall vibe is great and I have had nothing but good experiences. I definitely recommend them to my friends and family. Hands down the best choice I've made since the Pandemic hit, if you're looking for challenging workout with a great people - this is it.

Fantastic experience: I can only review this place based on their climbing boot camp, but so far I highly recommend it. It says something when you can barely walk or raise your arms the next day after a workout. I like the climbing specific training instead of just general crossfit. The staff I have worked with so far has been motivating without yelling at you. I appreciate the extra focus on form to ensure nobody gets hurt. If you're trying to get up a grade, or 2!! Give them a try next boot camp.

Fantastic experience: I been going to this gym for probably about a year and a half!!! Proud to be a member of the Mountain Strong community!! If you want to get fit and change it up, this place has alot to offer!! Crossfit,rock climbing (indoor/outdoor) even if your new to climbing like myself or trying to learn functual fitness! Strength training, Olympic lifting! 24hr access!! Big shout out to all the members,owners/coaches for making this place what it is!!

Fantastic experience: Took the six week climbing training camp and it was great! The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. They were just psyched to help people reach their goals.

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym with a great community, excellent coaches and a unique twist on traditional CrossFit. Was welcomed with open arms this past summer when I moved here to Denver

Fantastic experience: Coaching staff is knowledgeable and friendly. They will help you reach your goals, whatever they may be! Highly recommend taking the free trial class to see for yourself.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality I hadn't worked out in a traditional gym setting since college, and was super nervous to come back to lifting after 5 years away from it. The coaches were welcoming, met me at my skill level, and gave supportive and constructive feedback. Over the past year, my confidence has grown and I feel the strongest I ever felt!!

Fantastic experience: I am 40 and life of sitting behind a desk and owning business's had caught up with me. I was 40 pounds over weight and had not done any kind of exercising for 15 years. I was very intimidated by the thought of going to a gym, let along a crossfit gym. I had heard how intense work outs could be. After about a year of walking by this place everyday I finally built up the courage to go inside. I spoke with the owner on the phone and had a consult with him about where I was at currently and where I wanted to be. He told me if I gave him a year it would change my life. I am right at 6 months now, I have lost 25 pounds and am learning all kinds of new weight lifting and cardio workouts. At first it was very challenging and everyone from coaches to other members were very supportive and took the time to coach me 1 on 1 and build me into the weight lifting movements and provided support while I built my cardio game.. It has impacted my life in so many positive ways, all of which I will not list, but the personal attention and amazing community of other members has provided me with a life balance like none I have ever experienced before. If you are already a gym beast or a fresh starter on your fitness journey, you can find a place here. I can't say enough how much this has already changed my life, and I am looking forward to continuing my fitness journey here. Thank you Mountain Strong!

Fantastic experience: The is the best gym I have ever been a member of. The coaches and other members are very supportive, encouraging, and helpful. I first started attending the gym as part of their seasonal Ski Conditioning class. When I began working out, an empty barbell was my workout weight, which made it intimidating to watch serious athletes workout around you. However, nobody judges or cares how much you can lift. Everyone is just happy to see people show up and work hard. I can highly recommend Mountain Strong!

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Mountain Strong since December and have enjoyed the challenge of the classes and the feeling of community that the gym offers. I really appreciate the knowledge and professionalism of the staff, and although I am newer to lifting, they have been patient and provided excellent feedback. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a gym that is just as passionate about fitness, health, and the outdoors!

Fantastic experience: The community that Mountain Strong has been able to cultivate is wonderful. With many conditioning gyms, it sometimes can feel intimidating but not here. The coaches and owners make you feel part of their family. The members are open, friendly, and the best part, encouraging. The environment here allows your training to feel fun, that's the sweet spot in my opinion. Moving to Colorado and now been here for 2 years, 90% of my friends are from here. The gym always has phenomenal clinics to work on all types of things. From breathing, to climbing knots, to getting your rowing form perfect. They're always getting the community together for fun workouts followed by a relaxing BBQ after. I can write on and one but this place is truly magical. I am so grateful for the connections and life long friends that I have made. This has everything to do with the coaches and owners who have dedicated themselves to creating a place where your health and training can be a happy adventure. Don't get it twisted, they bring it and you will get your pump on but in a fun way.

Fantastic experience: This is a great gym! Supportive and encouraging community. The coaches are great, give individual attention, and encourage questions. Worth every penny!!!

Fantastic experience: This place is not just a gym it’s a family. I have been coming here for 2 years and am incredibly impressed by the atmosphere that has been fostered here, and the results I have seen. These guys all know what they are doing. Give it a try!!!

Fantastic experience: Gym is on the smaller side, but always has room for whatever I am trying to work on. Coaches are knowledgeable and there the help. If you are looking for a place to challenge yourself among like minded people, look no further.

Fantastic experience: Matt Lloyd has the most genuine enthusiasm and pushes everyone to be amazing. The energy is infectious and the holistic approach makes you want to be your best. I don’t typically like gyms but nothing about Mountain Strong is typical. This is the place!

Fantastic experience: Been going here for 3 years now. You can get a 24hr membership and work out on your own time if you can’t make a class which is a great perk. Best CrossFit gym in Denver ever!

Fantastic experience: I've been a member at Mountain Strong for two months and it's the best gym experience I've ever had. The coaches care, teach you and push you to your limits. There is a place for everyone: Crossfitters, Climbers, and anyone willing to push themselves to be better. Wouldn't want to call any other gym home!

Fantastic experience: The climbing boot camp at Mountain Strong has helped me identify weaknesses in my climbing and my approach to climbing. Not only have I become more aware of my blind spots, Matt and Jamie have given me many useful tools to work on in order to become a stronger, more well rounded climber.

Fantastic experience: One hell of a gym! I have been into CrossFit for years but this gym offers so much more that is unique to that Colorado life! Great programming, great coaches, awesome climbing and instruction if you want to learn to get outside and enjoy the mountains! Oh and an amazing community of like minded peeps!

Fantastic experience: Very experienced and knowledgeable staff. The mixture of climbing and crossfit is great! You won't regret trying it out and hopefully joining it is a fun and exciting community!

Fantastic experience: The boot camp at Mtn Strong was the perfect opportunity to learn fundamental climbing (and CrossFit) skills, get strong and make new friends! Every single class was different and honestly so much fun. The coaches (Matt, Jamie, Christian, and a few more) were so friendly, knowledgeable & able to accommodate all abilities. To anyone even considering signing up, just do it!

Fantastic experience: Mountainstrong is a great place to get inspired by its members and worked by the coaches. The coaches are very passionate and driven and thoughtful in approaching their workouts. It's a bit out of my neighborhood, so I don't go often, but I'm pumped every time that I do. Also, Lin Hill (Synergistic Movement) does recovery work out of Mountainstrong gym. She has been fixing me for years through the Denver Sports Recovery Center and I can't say enough good things about her work. Mountainstrong is really a great community fixture.

Fantastic experience: This review is LONG overdue! I have been going to Mountain Strong for 2+ years now. I joined when I was 6 months postpartum with my first son, attended throughout my entire 2nd pregnancy and now am about 6 months postpartum with my second. The coaches have been super knowledgable, really supportive, and everyone who attends is just plain nice and fun people that you want to workout with! Love this gym, love the people, and love how they have whipped my ass into shape.

Fantastic experience: These guys are simply the best! As an experienced Crossfitter, I can say the workouts are top notch from Olympic lifting to climbing and taught by coaches who are passionate and care deeply about what they do. Always an awesome time working out with a wonderful, welcoming community! And I know that I am continually being pushed as an athlete and getting stronger for all the fun outdoor things.

Fantastic experience: Love this gym! Everyone was super friendly and welcoming during my first class. Hoping to return for their climbing boot camp or other climbing focused classes. I always find starting at a new gym to be super intimidating but it wasn’t at all, so if you’re nervous, don’t be!

Fantastic experience: A Colorado gym doing Colorado things! This place is awesome. Should be home base for any mountain athlete looking to improve his training capacity with a rare community of people who push each other every single day! If you live in Denver you should be a part of the mountain strong community!

Fantastic experience: I've been a member since late August of this year and have nothing but great things to say about the coaches, programming and facility overall. This gym is a true community of like minded people from all walks of life and all skill levels. Work outs will challenge you and you will indeed become mountain strong!

Fantastic experience: I had no prior crossfit or climbing experience, but I've been at this gym for close to two years now and still love it! The coaches are all very knowledgeable and personable, and I've become a much better athlete as a result. There are plenty of offered class times, plus open gym times if that floats your boat. Honestly, no complaints here.

Fantastic experience: This place has been the foundation for any active endeavor I have pursued in Colorado. Whether it is climbing, riding bikes, and going long in terms of distance, it all starts here.. prior to finding this place, I struggled with low back and knee pain. The coaching is mindful of making sure your movements are accurate and correct to avoid injury, allowing you to break bad habits and build up correctly. The best part is that they incorporate movements more than just the boiler plate programming from crossfit. I highly recommend this place.

Fantastic experience: When I was invited by a friend of a friend to check out this part climbing, part CrossFit gym, I was skeptical. Having been intimidated from the larger climbing gyms and been injured from a previous CrossFit incident, I was mainly cautious. The open and encouraging mentality not only from the coaches but also the community made it very comfortable to start. Five months later, I have developed in both strength and endurance, bringing the fitness to my running, biking, hiking etc. Keep up the great work Mountain Strong

Fantastic experience: Probably my favorite gym in Denver, and I really like picking stuff up and putting it down. They crossfit, powerlift, and teach climbing. The coaches are all certified and very knowledgable. There is a heavy emphasis on functional and safe movement, and I know as an experienced athlete that if you are injured you probably aren't competing, or competing at your very best. Active recovery is emphasized here; something very important if you are active every single day. I would call it a true athlete's gym but the coaches and programs make it accessible to everyone. I recommend it to my friends as well as anyone else.

Fantastic experience: I participated in a month-long climbing training program at Mountain Strong. The instructor are extremely knowledgeable, inventive, and motivating. I have some old injuries, and they were very sensitive to my restrictions, and came up with modified exercises for me to perform. Highly recommend the gym!

Fantastic experience: I started with Mountain Strong 3 months ago. As an ultramarathoner, I was looking to increase my muscular endurance and overall strength. Mountain Strong has provided the catalyst to take my workouts to the next level. The programming is incredibly diverse and my body is in a constant state of confusion as each day is different then the last. I cannot speak highly enough about my experience with Mountain Strong, the staff and facilities. Top Notch.

Fantastic experience: Great gym with amazing coaches! I have never done CrossFit before and working out here has been a great combination of CrossFit workouts with some climbing too!

Fantastic experience: Whether you’re a climbing wanting to level up your game or a Crossfitter interested in alternative movement, or anything in between, Mountain Strong will help make you Harder To Kill. Top notch instructors, positive yet motivating vibe and always a good time. Feels like family every time I’m there.

Fantastic experience: Joining Mountain Strong was the best decision I made when moving to Denver. The coaches are knowledgeable and encourage personal growth inside and outside of the gym. The members are fantastic and encourage each other to get outside and enjoy being fit!

Fantastic experience: Matt was an awesome coach and made the workout super dynamic. Don’t underestimate the rock climbing wall! We are visiting from out of town but will definitely check out Mountain Strong on our next visit.

Fantastic experience: Prior to joining Mountain Strong, I had been going to a traditional gym for fitness and a typical climbing gym for climbing. Both gyms were passable. However, my fitness levels and climbing grades had plateaued. Then, I found Mountain Strong. The programing at this place is top-notch both from a Crossfit and climbing training standpoint. I've been going to classes regularly for over a year and I have consistently been getting stronger, fitter, and climbing harder. I always feel challenged and have yet to hit a plateau. In addition to the strength and fitness benefits, Mountain Strong classes are fun and feel more like skiing or climbing with friends than working out. The coaches are outstanding and the other members are supportive and want everyone to succeed both in and out of the gym. I highly recommend Mountain Strong whether you’re a serious athlete looking to be pushed in new ways, a couch potato hoping to get in shape, or anywhere in between.

Fantastic experience: By far the best gym that I have been to in Denver. The classes are hard but fun and all the instructors are incredible. Great place to excel at crossfit or climbing!

Fantastic experience: I got a Groupon for this place with a month left in Denver before moving. Awesome idea! All Crossfit gyms are different and what I like might not be what you like. This gym has a laid back "no pressure" feel while also kicking your ass! The folks that I met in my classes (mostly the 11 am class) were awesome guys and girls who were encouraging and funny. Will, Anne and Matt, the owners and coaches are passionate about what they do. All three are accomplished athletes, climbers and competitors! They listened to what I hoped to get out of my month and helped me achieve it. I never felt pressured and they do a great job tweaking workouts for each persons specific needs. Their climbing centered (Kraft) classes are an awesome work out as well. Fun to get on the wall and work on things you might not work on otherwise. I could not recommend this place any more!! I only wish I had discovered it sooner.

Fantastic experience: I've been training at this gym for almost a year and it has been better than any other gym I have joined in years past. I was always getting caught up in the normal routines of gyms and found myself getting bored, not here. It is always something different with a new kick. This place hurts so GOOD!

Fantastic experience: I love Crossfit at Mountain Strong Denver. They have great coaches, a great atmosphere, and a terrific community of people to stay fit and motivated with. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Mountain Strong is an awesome gym! The CrossFit is great for a workout, and the bouldering wall is great to work on climbing skills. The unique climbing oriented "Kraft" workout classes are a great way to improve climbing strength and endurance. The owners/trainers are fantastic and really know their stuff, (plus they're incredible athletes in case you need someone to compete against in the workouts). The community is also really great, we're always meeting new cool people every time we go. Now if they would only move their location closer to where I live... :)

Fantastic experience: I was brand new to CrossFit and had a little bit of experience climbing. Being new to the area I was intimidated to try out this type of gym. However, the coaches and the members of Mountain Strong could not have been any more accommodating and welcoming. This is the perfect place whether you are a beginner or expert. Come on in and you'll get a workout and make some friends while you're at it.

Fantastic experience: If you're looking to improve as a mountain athlete, this is the place to go. Knowledgeable coaches that take creative programming to a whole new level. You'd be hard pressed to find anyone that knows how to make you stronger and more confident in the hills. Plus it's a crazy fun group of people that don't take themselves overly serious. Being outside is supposed to be fun and so is the training for it. Sure there's plenty of misery to go around during the workouts, but that's part of the fun.
