Urban Pump Personal Training Studio by Gregg Hoffman

Fantastic experience: I had been having migraines almost twice a week. A very good friend of mine who is been getting exercise training from Urban pump suggested me to this place. I have been with Urban Pump almost a year now. I feel very energetic now and I get migraine only one nor twice a month and the intensity of pain has reduced a lot. Both the trainers Sharon and Greg, are very nice, very humble and sweet. I commute from Superior near Boulder. Most of the time Iam stuck in the traffic and come late. They are very understanding and works nicely with your schedule. They care about you.which I have not seen in many places. I am obliged to my friend who referred me to this place. Aweeeeesooome.

Fantastic experience: My husband and I are in our 70s. We joined Gregg at Urban Pump in March of this year. Although we are in good health and have been active skiing for many seasons, for the past several years life got in the way and we became more sedentary. It was time to get back to the gym. However, I personally hated those daily workouts, mindless repetitions and boring routines of conventional fitness centers. And as a woman , I have always been intimidated with any gym environment. Time was also a factor and I didn't want to spend hours working out. I had a million excuses for why I skipped a day and then another day and soon it was zero attendance. So hallelujah for the 20-minute, twice a week program. Not only am I not bored or intimidated, but both my husband and I have gained strength, got some real muscles back and feel wonderful. Greg is so supportive and keeps our sessions tailored to our progress. His dedication to his profession shines through and we have found his advice on diet and weight loss to be very helpful. My husband and I can tell you quite honestly this is an excellent investment in anyone's future health and fitness.

Fantastic experience: As an 'older' person, I had my doubts that much could be done to help me. I was in constant pain, extremely overweight, and unhappy about it. Not any more! I am amazed at the change that Sharon and Gregg have helped my achieve. Eight months ago I was unable to walk more than 1/2 mile before I was in so much pain I was in tears. Now, I can hike (Yes, hike in the mountains!) for 4 miles, run around like I was half my age, and smile when I look in the mirror. I have a long way to go, but I have no doubt that I can achieve my goals with the help and support from my friends, Sharon and Gregg.

Fantastic experience: As a working woman, I don't have tons of time to devote to exercise. With Urban Pump's program of 2 25-minute workouts each week, I have toned, tightened, and gone from a size 6 to a 4. I have way more energy, my clothes fit and feel great, I sleep better, and I'm STRONG without bulk! I love the prgram and I love Gregg and Sharon!! This program is science-based, affordable, convenient, and it works - I am a lifetime convert!!

Fantastic experience: So my wife started working out with Sharon long before I started at Urban pump, I was skeptical about the workout(hystrength program). After only a few months I realized that not only does it work but I don't have to spend hours a the gym to get results. BTW my wife is 7 months pregnant still works out and looks great!

Fantastic experience: I am a recovering diet and exercise aholic. I am also a recovering Californian so, of course, have spent most of my life trying out one new eating and exercise plan after another. I've crammed cabbage, slurped soup, cleansed masterfully, and zoned out. High carb, low carb, all-protein, no protein... ran 6 miles a day, Jazzercise, power pump, yoga, personal trainer's name it, I have experimented with it. I've had varying degrees of success - if success is measured in terms of weight loss and increased energy - but was never really able to stick to anything for the long term....until now.....I have been working out with Sharon for about 8 months and I have seen more results than from absolutely anything else that I have ever tried. I've gone down 2 dress sizes and feel stronger, and have so much more energy. The works outs are hard. I'm not going to lie, but even I can endure anything for 30 minutes, and it's so rewarding. Sharon and Greg are also helping me tweak my diet and just be more mindful of what I am I'm eating. I'm also keeping an online food diary, and that is a major eye opener. I always thought I ate so healthy, and I do, but I was just eating too much. I feel better than ever and am losing weight, and inches consistently and permanently. This is a gift you most certainly should give yourself.

Fantastic experience: Greg is knowledgable and thoughtful in his approach to training and works with each client to help them meet their individual needs. Soon after I started training with Greg, a longstanding knee problem started creating a problem that I thought would put my training to a standstill. Greg has been able to work around my knee problem as well as incorporate exercises that have helped strengthen my knee. Over the years I have worked with a number of trainers and none come close to comparing to Greg. Most training plans push strength training sessions that take at least 45 minutes to an hour. In the first 3 months of working with Greg I saw a significant increase in my energy and strength. It is amazing the difference that two 20 minute workouts a week make. Greg's approach to training is thoughtful and sustainable for any lifestyle!

Fantastic experience: Wow, I'm wordless. I've never seen such better results. These personal trainers really know what they're doing. All of their promises are fulfilled. I'm committed to them and their program because it's the best one out there!

Fantastic experience: I love Urban Pump!! I get a great personalized total body workout without the big gym hassle (not to mention intimidation) and feel. I have seen great muscle definition and personal strength gains I never thought possible! I feel better, look better, sleep better and have gotten tons of compliments from friends on how I look. It's easy even with my super busy schedule to fit in 2 workouts a week, that really kick my butt! I even got my boyfriend hooked!!

Fantastic experience: Both Sharon and Greg are wonderful. I get a personalized workout every time. I have enjoyed meeting new people in the class setting and my sister and I split a private class. This is the longest that I have stayed with personal training. Thanks Guys!

Fantastic experience: Sharon and Gregg at Urban Pump have changed my life. I am healthier, happier, stronger, and sexier. I have never been this strong in my entire athletic journey. I have more energy, more endurance, and more confidence. Instead of hiding my body I am taking pride in what Sharon and Gregg have helped me accomplish. This is not your average training studio, this is a family. Sharon and Gregg care about your goals. They get to know you as a person and friend in order to create a training plan that will work for you. They push you to your limits and celebrate with you when you surpass those limits. They guide you into becoming the strongest, healthiest, sexiest, and most confident person you could ever imagine. I can't wait to go back every week and see how much stronger I am. If you want to change how your body looks then I highly recommend Urban Pump. You truly can't beat the amount of time needed a week to change your body completely. Thank you Urban Pump for giving me the best one-on-one personally created training and caring for me as a whole person.

Fantastic experience: The small gym with the big heart! Gregg and Sharon walk the walk and go that extra mile for their clients. Their knowledge about the training program them offer is awesome and that includes lots of info about diet and body image.

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Sharon for a year and it has been a great experience. I started working out with Sharon months after my son was born and she has helped me stay in shape, while teaching me to be efficient with my workouts. I 100% recommend working with both Sharon and Gregg!

Fantastic experience: Gregg and Sharon have totally been a game changer! If you are considering booking a session, do it! I was hooked after my first session and haven't looked back. Was a collegiate athlete and once the thought of spending hours in the gym with my schedule began to overwhelm me I stopped training and gained nearly 60 pounds! Just the thought of starting back over gave me anxiety. When I heard about Gregg, I found it hard to believe that in a 30 minute session twice a week you could totally transform and build strength. But in 6 months I am down nearly 30 pounds while gaining strength that is hard to believe, going from 200lbs leg press to over 800lbs. I am back to skiing and at an athletic level of where I was in college with just an hour a week of training. Truly unbelievable results! Can't wait to see where I am in another 6 months!

Fantastic experience: I LOVE working with Sharon at UP. She dishes out just the right amount of tough love, but is always encouraging. I believe that both Greg and Sharon are extremely knowledgeable in not only weight training but nutrition as well. I have finally made their suggested changes to my eating habits and have been rewarded with relatively pain free weight loss.

Fantastic experience: I cannot adequately express my gratitude to Gregg and Sharon for offering a safe, clean environment for a kick butt workout during this unprecedented public health emergency. I am always the only client in the studio, clients have a dedicated, separate entrance, they clean and sanitize the equipment between clients, and we wear masks at all times. The efforts that they make to keep the gym clean and safe are critical to me as a person with a compromised immune system. I tried working out via zoom and without a trainer, and the results were nonexistent. This is the best workout I have ever done, the trainers can work around numerous types of injuries, and I can do this quite safely, in my opinion. This is a risk that I am willing to take to continue my health journey during a pandemic-thank you both for all you do to keep your clients safe!

Fantastic experience: If your looking for an exceptional workout, without all the challenges of a public gym, this spot truly lives up to it's name in providing a top level "Urban Pump!" Gregg and Sharon are both high level fitness professionals who truly know their skills in getting each client to the level of fitness they seek for themselves. With a wide range of fitness tools and equipment they skillfully custom design a personal training workout that will truly transform you. Combined with the food plans and at home tips they can offer, your body will have no choice but to change for better! If your looking to take your fitness (and body) to the next level Urban Pump is where you need to be!

Fantastic experience: A few years ago I hated my body, then I found Urban Pump! Until the Sequester, all was happy. I kept getting more tone and fit every week. What to do? Personal training with Urban Pump over the web is THE ANSWER. Sharon and Gregg keep me motivated, keep me scheduled, and know how to be flexible with household items as weights. Get back in shape WHILE staying at home AND then check out their private facility as we get back to business in CO. You will love yourself for it!

Fantastic experience: I have been working out with Gregg for a year and have enjoyed a new approach to weight training - intense, challenging, 20 minute workouts. Gregg never lets you miss a rep and is a great motivator! Highly recommend his program and sessions to people looking for a way to renew their routine and add a true weight training component to their fitness program!

Fantastic experience: I Saw MAJOR results after 3 Sessions with Urban Pump. The revolutionary and Proven Results are a Heaven Sent for Active,busy lifestyles we lead today . I recommend Urban Pumps' Method to anyone that is serious about Health and fitness .

Fantastic experience: I've tried many different approaches to "fitness" over many years. Since working out with Gregg and now Sharon, for several years, I have to say I have found a way to fit in a serious workout, increase my strength amazingly, all in a format and time frame that works in my life. I enjoy them both, they are committed to the individual needs and goals of their clients and are a pleasure to work with. If it weren't for their calm and encouraging training, I would not have stayed committed. I highly recommend them both!

Fantastic experience: The proof is in the numbers. After 10 training sessions over 5 weeks, leg press strength increased 35%, bench press up 43%, tricep up 53%, bicep up 83%. 25-35 minute sessions, 2x a week. I highly recommend Gregg for anyone looking to get in shape, especially anyone who's getting near 50. He knows what he's doing and the results will come quicker than you think.

Fantastic experience: I'm a type 1 diabetic in my fifties with a history of injuries in both shoulders. When I tried to get back in shape on my own, I ended up with many hypoglycemic reactions, and the carbohydrates required to treat was causing me to gain fat. Gregg's program has led to greater range of motion in my shoulders and almost complete elimination of the pain I've had for years. Two short but intense workouts a week and a slight reduction of carbohydrates in my diet for ten weeks has produced other exceptional results. I lost nearly 10 pounds, 4% body fat and 4 inches off my waist. Most impressive are the positive impacts on my diabetes. My insulin to carbohydrate ratio has improved from 1:8 to 1:12 and my A1C (average blood sugar) went down from 7.9 to 6.9. Gregg's program produces and fits into an adult's busy work and family life. Less than an hour per week!

Fantastic experience: Urban Pump - Gregg and Sharon are dedicated to fitness, lifestyle and their clients! Their methods create results, their drive inspires you, their knowledge regarding fitness and lifestyle choices are top-notch and their dedication to helping you achieve your goals is the best I've experienced. I have also referred several friends and coworkers to them - without hesitation. I am grateful to have found them and look forward to every minute I am training to keep me strong, healthy and mentally clear.

Fantastic experience: Incredible, gregg will push you to your limits while being a reasonable person, this is an incredibly fine line to walk if you have worked out with other trainers in the past. He is one of the most reasonably priced trainers I've heard of for how often you need to do sessions, and I always see rapid and long lasting improvement as a direct result of his training. I've played college lacrosse, and had some time with the military and he is by far the most pleasant workout experience of my life so far and with fantastic results. I couldn't give him a higher recommendation.

Fantastic experience: I moved to Denver 1 year ago. I tried several gyms and trainers, but neither the gyms nor trainers impressed me. Then I met Gregg at Urban Pump. He is, without any doubt, a world class trainer. Gregg's knowledge, professionalism, passion, and caring are unsurpassed. My goals were to continue rehabbing a problem knee, to reduce fat, and to gain strength and muscle. Gregg has very quickly allowed me to meet and surpass my goals. It's not easy to gain muscle at my age (mid 60s), but Gregg has made it happen. My energy level has never been better I look forward to my twice weekly sessions with Gregg. He "pushes me to failure" with each set, and that's a good thing. I'm fortunate to have met Gregg. He's a game changer!

Fantastic experience: Although I had been working out regularly, I got into a slump a couple of years ago and let myself go. I think I just was so bored with the routine of going to the gym and doing the same things over and over. I was looking for someone to kick me back into gear and found it with Urban Pump. I purchased the 10-week package and am so happy that I did. I thought I’d heard it all – about how to work out, what to do, what not to do – but Gregg really educated me on a way of working out and staying fit that I’d never seen before I started my sessions with him. If you’re serious about getting fit, you owe it to yourself to call Urban Pump, schedule a consultation, and check out what they have to offer. It doesn’t matter if you choose Gregg or Sharon, but just do it! You will be glad that you did. I highly recommend it. I am signing up for more sessions with them.

Fantastic experience: My wife and I did the couples training with Gregg. I am 53 and have seen many different approaches to fitness and strength training. Gregg uses the science of metabolism and exercise physiology to set up a personalized training routine that meets you where you are....and he explains this customized approach right up front. His training philosophy is informed by many decades of seeing results and refinement. For us, it was twice a week, 30 minutes per session. It fits into our lifestyle and after 3 months the results have been rewarding. We both have more energy, feel better than before, and have seen continuous escalation in endurance and strength. Another huge benefit....my wife's knee pain is completely gone. Gregg gets straight As from us. Tom Inge, MD, PhD

Fantastic experience: Over the past decade, I've done a variety of work-out and diet regimens. In short, Gregg's work-out is dynamic, effective and fun. I'm so glad I found him! As a practicing physician and father of two, Iife is busy. Gregg's work-out is optimized to work all major and accessory muscle groups in a rapid fire 30 minute regimen only twice per week. The time commitment is perfect for any busy professional and absolutely effective. Gregg's personality and demeanor is ideal for a trainer. He is appropriately challenging without seeming aggressive. He is well balanced and even keeled. Importantly, there is no advertising of products, vitamins or supplements (although his knowledge is very extensive on all of those topics whenever I have questions, i.e. are branch chain amino acids worth it?). From a physician standpoint, I love how knowledgable Gregg is. His program is evidence-based and backed by science. He cuts through the fluff and gets to the interventions that matters for benefits. It's been great having his guidance throughout the months. I'm so happy with the results, and I fully recommend Gregg for anybody looking to get in better shaper, feel stronger and have more energy every day!

Fantastic experience: Amazing results in just 10 weeks! At the age of 42, I walked in over weight, lack of energy perhaps depressed. Through Gregg’s nutritional advice and 2 workouts a week (yes, only 2) I was able to transform my body instantly! I’m physically changing every week; never hungry with plenty of energy. Goodbye cellulite and hello perky butt!!

Fantastic experience: I've been training consistently with Gregg and Sharon for 8 months now. Everything they have taught me is different from anything prior I've done with other personal trainers. Not only are their workouts unique and effective yet their coaching, knowledge and motivation with accountability has been what has really done it for me. They truly have changed my life for the better: I've never been stronger, looked better nor felt any better than I do today! I've often told them they've ruined me from ever going back to a real gym because this is my new norm! Not to mention, I literally only workout for an hour a week total! I will tell you, the time spent is intense yet the endorphins after propel me through my day!

Fantastic experience: I started training with Gregg in February 2017. I started with 3 days a week and then dropped down to 2. The results are the best I've ever had and I've worked out with personal trainers for years. I've lost several inches around the waist and 11 pounds to date. The combination of a low carb diet and my 2x a week workout has changed my life. When I hit a plateau on weight loss, Gregg suggested a 24 hour fast. And it worked! I lost 2 pounds and will do fasting more regularly to help my diet. I'm stronger now then I have ever been and I can see and feel the difference. Hikes are easier, my clothes fit better and I feel better about how I look. Give Urban Pump a chance. You will not regret it!

Fantastic experience: Sharon and Gregg are fabulous! Desperate to get in shape for an hut to hut hiking trip in the Swiss Alps with my husband and 3 adult children (who are VERY fit), I joined a neighbor for their "weight training" program in February 2014. I had never lifted weights but knew I "should". Well 3 and 1/2 years later, I'm still going! And love it! Who knew that getting fit could be sooo simple and "easy"! All my life I've been a lazy athlete, getting in shape by 'doing' the sports I love: competitive swimming, college club soccer, avid extreme skier all over the world (still) and of course, my favorite Ultimate frisbee but had a wake up call at age 47: brain tumor! In 2006! It was cancer but thankfully operable! Now 11 years later after 10 a hour surgery and radiation, I have come back to excellent health with only minor coordination issues! The Hystrength training has motivated me to get back and stay in shape! Over the first year, I lost 17# from 154 to 137 and my body fat went from 35% to 28%. My waist went from 32.5 to 29 inches!! Hips went from 40.5 to 38; dropped 2 sizes in my pants to a 6! and one in shirts to a medium. Which is what I've been most of my life! Now 2 years later, I've maintained or slightly dropped!! And the workouts are NOT boring!

Fantastic experience: Are you looking to become a personal trainer? I met and trained briefly with Gregg in the early '90s and by happy circumstance, became re-acquainted with him in 2008. Upon that meeting, I was so inspired and impressed by his knowledge and dedication to personal training, that I solicited him to coach me through the American Council on Exercise personal trainer certification. I studied (and passed) for the exam in conjunction with Gregg's certification program. As a result, I am happily and successfully employed as a personal trainer and as an added bonus, enjoy fantastic health and strength.

Fantastic experience: I bounced around about making the phone call to Greg for several months! With all that is out there about weight loss and fitness you start to become jaded about what will actually make a change in your life. I finally picked the phone up and made that call, and I am so happy. For the first time in my life (37years) I feel that I have found a way to stay healthy and fit. This was the best investment in me and my health that I have ever made. The results in 10 weeks are jaw dropping... So if you are like me and REALLY ready to put in the work and commitment, yet wavering, just pick up the phone. Its worth every penny!!!! Cheers!

Fantastic experience: I am a "hard gainer" type and have been trying this on my own for 30 years but with little success. I was looking for someone that seemed to have a greater body of knowledge that a 3 week online certificate that so many of these places have - Gregg is the real deal. In 2 months I have begun seeing great results. Gregg is very personable and will push you as hard as you are willing - and maybe a little more. I highly recommend Urban Pump

Fantastic experience: I've been training with Sharon and Gregg since 2014- 3 years and 2 babies later- I am in some of the best shape of my life. And I was a college athlete! Sharon got me stronger and leaner than I have ever been before after my first child. Now that my 2nd is 3mo old I am still training with Sharon and seeing results even faster bc of consistent work with her. When they say "40 min a week to buff" they mean it. Who doesn't have 40 mins? This is an effective program that actually works. I don't feel run-down or overworked. I feel motivated and strong. Gregg brings years of experience to the table and I am always impressed with the level of knowledge he has on training& diet. Check out his blog posts people! Sharon is so knowledgeable about pre& postpartum strength and recovery. I worked out with her for both pregnancies and had 2 beautiful natural births. My doulas were so impressed with my strength. She knows what women need to do in terms of diet and exercise to be trimmer and sexier- plus she's just really great to talk to. As you can tell, I could not recommend them more!

Fantastic experience: Please be patient, because this might be a long review, and I want you to read all of it! Gregg Hoffman is a great trainer. Yes, he has won awards for Best Trainer, but I want to tell you about some other reasons why you can trust him, whether you want to win a bodybuilding contest, recover from an illness or injury, or just lose weight and get more fit. First of all, there are his three decades of experience. Thirty. Years. Then there’s the fact that he is a lifelong learner. He educates himself constantly, researching and studying the latest in health, nutrition, longevity, everything there is to know about how to be and stay healthy and strong. He has written his own books, as well, sharing his learned wisdom. And perhaps I should have mentioned first, there is his own physique, and that of his lovely wife Sharon, also a skilled personal trainer (they’re both beautiful!). My story: I am a 64-year-old female in recovery from serious illnesses over the past two years. I had become obese, debilitated, exhausted, I was pre-diabetic, and I wanted so much to get healthy and be around for my beloved husband, kids, grandkids and great-grandkids. I emailed Gregg with my situation and we made a consult appointment (which was free). I was impressed and touched that by the time I showed up for my appointment, Gregg had already researched my health issues. He then spent some time clarifying with me my general health and my goals, and then we made a plan. He gave me direction about my eating habits (I thought I had been doing it right! — wrong). He told me he would begin with me as he has with people recovering from injuries and accidents, slowly and carefully. I have lost 43 pounds (and I have no doubt about getting to my ideal weight), and every week I have gotten stronger, and I have more stamina and endurance. I can’t tell you how much that adds to my sense of competence and my joy in living everyday. Gregg Hoffman is doing his right work in the world, and I am grateful.

Fantastic experience: I am very happy that I found Gregg and Urban Pump. In the six short weeks I have been working out with Gregg, I have witnessed an astounding physical transformation like I've never seen in the years I've been working out with other trainers. The 30-minute workout is very strenuous, but it's over so quickly, and now I wonder how I would ever endure another lengthy, ineffective workout session again. Gregg has also coached me on a much better way of eating - I will not call it a diet, because I do not believe in diets. But through Gregg, I have learned which foods are best to help fuel my body's needs, satisfy my hunger, and supplement my fitness journey. And the nutrition component is so remarkably simple that, again, I wonder why I didn't make these changes sooner. Gregg is a very laid-back guy who understands that we live in the real world, where it is extremely difficult to eat right and make it to training sessions. He just gets it, and never judges. If you are considering training with Gregg or Sharon, please go in and give it a try. I am very happy I did, and I look forward to ongoing success and gains through Urban Pump. Beth

Fantastic experience: This has been a big investment but my body is changing! My experience over the last two months working out with Sharon and online has been very satisfying! Despite the holiday season, my fat percent is down, my inches are down, the weight I can push/pull/lift is UP! I can't wait to see what develops over the next two months. I can tell that both Gregg and Sharon really care about their clients as people, not just revenue. Helping people get fit, in a safe, healthy and efficient manner is more than just a job; it is a calling for them! I have never worked with trainers where so much attention has been paid to proper form. I didn't get into heavy weights until I could demonstrate proper form and technique. It felt like a slow start but I see I had to start slow in order to unlearn bad habits and develop good ones.

Fantastic experience: If you're looking for a personal trainer in Denver, Gregg is exactly what you want — knowledgeable, supportive, motivating and dependable. The proof is in the results: I've lost 30 pounds in six months and couldn't have done it without his help. I put off hiring a trainer for a long time, figuring I should just go it alone. That's nonsense. Any time you want to learn something new a skilled teacher is a tremendous asset, and fitness is no different. The location is convenient, the scheduling is flexible, and the cost is more than worth it. If you've been aspiring to improve your health, but not taking action, do it now. You'll be glad you did!

Fantastic experience: Gregg Hoffman changed my life. Before I began working with Gregg I was suffering from severe back pain having to see a chiropractor every month from throwing my back out. I was also dealing with pain in my chest near my heart. These were the main reason I set out to find a trainer. Halfway through my training these two things ruining my life were gone. I not only felt more healthy and having no more back pain I gained almost 10 pounds of muscle. All my life I have been small and feeling pathetic. Now I don't have to worry about picking heavy things up and now I have the confidence to not have a shirt on. However all these things are not what sold me with Gregg after seeing many trainers. First off Gregg only had one price for his packagers while other trainers I met with would have charged me with a gym membership, dietary plan, on top of the training fee and other aspects to the point you don't even know how much you were paying. Gregg was straight forward about everything especially about how difficult it will be. Gregg is a very nice guy and has a very calm personality which makes the workout more peaceful however his workout will kick your ass. It is very hard but very fulfilling halfway through my sessions I craved to workout and did not feel well emotionally and physically without it. Gregg has been in this business for 25 years he knows every scientific aspect of weightlifting, dietary plans, and everything that has to do with training in general. I would recommend Gregg and his wife Sharon to anyone who is committed to changing their life. With everything Gregg has taught me I now feel confident enough to go out on my own without his help though I know I wouldn't have been able to make a difference in myself. So yes I truly believe Gregg Hoffman has changed my life.
