The Denver Athletic Club

Fantastic experience: As a marketing expert and promoter I had the pleasure of working with The Denver Athletic Club on two recent Society of Hispanic Human Resource Professional corporate events. I have never been more impressed with any venue. This facility is first class all the way. It is centrally located and easy for everyone to find. The rooms are very nice and the food is fresh and tasty. However, the best part is working with the amazing people of the DAC. They love their jobs... and it shows! Everyone is pleasant, patient, professional and trustworthy. They under promise and over deliver every time! Thanks Judie! Great team work!

Fantastic experience: The DAC has something for everyone from a day care for infants and preschoolers to programs for seniors. The extreme athlete and the casual exerciser can find many opportunities to keep in shape. The swimming pool is terrific and there's even bowling. In addition, there are affinity groups for many interests and really good food in the restaurant and cafe. Parking in the garage is free for a couple of hours for members while they use the facilities. Our family uses the DAC frequently.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to this club since I was in high school. We (my family) have been members for eight years and I could not think of being a member of any other athletic club in Denver. We have referred all of our friends and family! I could literally go on for pages and pages about how much this club has done for us. If you are looking to join a club with more than just gym facilities, The Denver Athletic Club is definitely something you should be taking a look at.

Fantastic experience: Following a tour of the DAC with Diane, she not only followed up with my membership, I also received personal communications regarding my specific interests, both athletic and social. It is different to have an actual person (members) reach out and invite you to a class or event. You can sign up for mailing lists, but individual members also want to make contact with you, it is the culture of the club. New members are offered a free wellness visit then two free personal training sessions. I would highly recommend taking advantage of this! Carol completed my physical (% body fat, cardio, balance, etc) and checked in on my experience thus far at the club. She sent the tests over to Jennifer who has been my personal trainer ever since. I have felt great about my fitness; the results have shown in my racing and energy. The shopping, restaurants, and social events begin to add onto the bill after a few months. DAC is not the cheapest, but is the best bang for your buck! The social activities cost less than I would spend doing these same activities outside of the DAC. Moving into the city, especially LoDo, plan to spend more money. Being a part of the DAC, you can get great deals inside the club and the committees will plan outings in the city as well.

Fantastic experience: My wife and I have been members for 9 years. This club is amazing. At least 80 fitness and yoga classes a week, top notch workout facilities, and a wonderful staff. And if that's not enough, there are many, many social opportunities, for instance, I am in a writing group where we regularly share our work and help each other improve. Finally, the restaurant is a great place to meet clients. The food is good, the service is wonderful and it's much quieter than commercial restaurants.

Fantastic experience: I love this place. I am there everyday and it has everything you need in the city. It is my home away from home. Great place to swim laps, with very clean lap pool that is always empty it seems. Nice newly remodeled hot tub co/ed steam/sauna right in pool area. This is not just a gym, it is a club of welcoming friendly people who want the best in the city. Never seems crowded in the massive workout gym area. Their Crossfit is pretty killer as well. Kids love the indoor playground and kids programs. It is a great place to connect with Denver's best and brightest.

Fantastic experience: Classic Athletic Club with a variety of options and a bowling alley in the basement.

Fantastic experience: It’s painful to leave a bad review because there are many wonderful things about the club. However, the new GM Rich Novelli is wildly inappropriate. I truly hopes he realizes that customer service is a HUGE part of his job or he moves on. My family and I have decided to cancel our membership due to him and his erratic and aggressive behavior towards us on the night of the parade of lights. There are many other clubs that we can join that have the fundamentals down and aren’t constantly under construction. Update: The club made some much needed adjustments. We have decided to keep our membership.

Fantastic experience: The Denver Athletic Club was ranked one of the top ten gyms in the US, and it is a well deserved accolade! They have a 4 lane lap pool, sauna, steam room, and hot tub. the locker room is spacious and full of amenities. The front desk provides a card for the locker key. The facility has studios for spinning, pilates, yoga and all of their classes. There is even massage available onsite by appointment. The fitness area has an abundance of cardio equipment, including concept 2 rowing machines, many ellipticals and treadmills. It does not seem there would ever be a wait for a machine and the high ceiling and glass windows make the entire cardio area feel very open. The gym has an extensive collection of cable weights and free weight equipment, including 3 power racks and a deadlift platform. There are multiple benches (flat, incline, decline) and sets of dumbbell up to 120lbs at least. The weight area feels more like an NFL training facility than a local gym. There are more 45lb plates than you can possibly lift, I promise you. The staff is friendly and inviting. I was only in town for a few days, using day passes from the Teatro Hotel nearby, but they tended to me like a full fledged member. Ultimately, working with their management, they were able to offer a terrific membership deal that I prepaid for my brother as a gift. While I am not fortunate enough to live nearby, my brother is a local and I am thrilled to recommend the Denver Athletic Facility to my family and anyone reading this review. Keep up the good work guys!

Fantastic experience: This place was fantastic, has everything

Fantastic experience: I've been a member here about 6 months and love it. The staff are beyond nice and accommodating. It's a huge facility and you get a ton of value if you use it. Location and parking are excellent; park for 3 hours free. They have so many events going on that it's actually hard keeping up with everything. I really like that it's member owned, so there's no corporation milking you for your money, profits are invested back into the club.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely the most beautiful club in Denver.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely beautiful! Very high-class

Fantastic experience: I was going as a guest but ended up not making it past the lobby but everything looked nice from what I saw...

Fantastic experience: I just had my wedding here and it was perfect! I loved how it was all inclusive, they really do everything for you, including working as a wedding planner the day of. My wedding was stress free, beautiful and so much fun! Thank you to all the hard working staff at DAC, especially Linda and Kristen!

Fantastic experience: The men's only facilities are fantastic, don't listen / read what the Man-haters say here. Plenty of facilities for all humans. Great place for sure!!

Fantastic experience: Best social gym in Denver! Gym, basketball, squash, bar, bowling, golf sim, restaurant…it has everything

Fantastic experience: Wonderful place for city individuals who our dedicated to thier community.

Fantastic experience: Nice place and lots of histroy here.

Fantastic experience: We were members here when we were little and came every Sunday with our closest family members. Now my sister is a member and it's still such an amazing establishment. Healthy food, quiet and comfortable work spaces, affordable day care, spacious locker rooms, lots of amenities, and extremely friendly and helpful staff! If I lived in Denver, I'd definitely join.

Positive experience: Went to a boxing match. Nice place. Hard to find parking. Staff was very helpful. Few drunks took a star from the rating.

Fantastic experience: Great location. People who work there are always ready to help

Fantastic experience: Very nice place with great staff. Was there for a rooftop event. Everything was clean and well organized. The staff working the event were very nice and helpful. The location itself was clean and welcoming. The drinks were nice and cold considering what a warm evening it was. The seating was plentiful and the misters were super helpful for cooling down the guests. The appetizers served were tasty, meatballs in a BBQ sauce, and various types of egg rolls with a vegetarian option as well. There was plenty of parking right across the street as well as street parking right out front, however our event was in the evening. If you're there during the day at peak business hours, then there's probably a lot of traffic, noise, and less parking. Overall, I would attend another event there or even hold one there myself. Great place with great views of the city.

Fantastic experience: Expensive in absolute terms, but membership includes great facilities & classes. Highlights include a beautiful high-ceilinged weight room with lots of natural light, and an expansive raised patio for events. The layout inside is a *little* quirky.

Fantastic experience: The DAC was clean, professional and pristine as always. The roof top was decorated gorgeously and the staff were helpful and very very friendly. Thank you DAC

Fantastic experience: Attended for wedding and related activities. Had a wonderful time and a fabulous weekend. Quickly came up with tent due to medical issues. Catering staff was awesome. Bartender André and his boss were exceptional. Sunday breakfast was really fun and tastey. Air conditioning is bad, except in lobbies where aloof men sit to direct guests. Restrooms sweltering. Bowling alley was hot. Bowling shoes jumbled on a shelf. Couldn’t find a pair of womens 10/mens 9 bowling shoes.

Fantastic experience: Had an amazing company Christmas party in the bowling room! Great service, amazing food and so much fun!

Fantastic experience: Great club with just about every indoor activity available to you along with a very storied history. They even have a bowling alley, talk about a lucky strike.

Fantastic experience: Amazing facilities, loved working out here. Too pricey for the long run, but worth every penny. Miss my membership!

Fantastic experience: Great place to work out and meet friends for dinner.

Fantastic experience: I come here often for professional events. Their two ballrooms and rooftop area are classy; the catering staff are polite, friendly, and efficient; and the decor and table settings are well done. They also do a good job of offering food alternatives - vegetarian, dairy free, gluten free, soy free, etc. Parking in their garage is a bit of a pain if you're not a member of the DAC, but I understand that there's limited space. I would like to thank Moses specifically for his generous help in finding some items I lost at an event last month. You're awesome!

Fantastic experience: The DAC is a classic downtown social club. They have a great gym and meeting areas. I always stay close when I am in Denver.

Fantastic experience: The best Athletic Facility in Denver bar none. Master Trainer Glen Rosenthal is the man to see. Good Training! Cheers, Hart CPT PS It's all training anyways, isn't it?

Fantastic experience: My wife and I had our wedding here and can't thank the staff enough. Everything from the planning to the end of the reception went so smoothly. In the basement of the venue is the oldest bowling alley west of the Mississippi. I'd recommend renting the whole bowling alley out for an after party.

Fantastic experience: If your looking for a nice club, but has all the perks of country club for a tenth of the price. I joined this place when I moved to Denver 2.5 years ago because I worked downtown and the traffic is awful so I would workout here till traffic was over. However, it began a lot more than a “workout” place. The free keg on Tuesdays was the reason I made my first friends moving to Denver (outside of work). Yes, the place offers you free alcohol and food about 100 times a year, and they make it a social and you get to meet business professionals of all ages. The president has done a phenomenal job in just the 2.5 years I’ve been there. The club has gotten a major face lift, he has retained some of the best talent, and he has been growing the club which has helped the club immensely. I also got a few of my friends to join this club after being denied 10 times because it’s “too expensive”. It’s ~$200 a month but the amount of perks you get makes you feel like you’re getting every penny worth. Gym, multiple locker rooms with steam and sauna, pool, squash (they even hold international events here for squash), racquetball, 3 restaurants, lots of places to do work and feel comfortable, rooftop, and many more things. This place is also a great networking place for business, and it’s only getting better with time. If you like good customer service, these workers remember your name, make you feel like you’re at home every time you come. I could write a book about what the DAC has done for me. Give DAC a chance and you will not regret your decision!

Fantastic experience: High end private club for workout and games. Cozy environment for dinner and business meetings. It has wide connections with many famous artists, and has different shows from time to time. Of course the articles are sold pretty expensive.

Fantastic experience: Another fantastic event at the DAC. I love the nostalgia of this 100 year old establishment.

Fantastic experience: I work here and it's fast paced and crazy schedule but lots of benefits for employees. Workout room access whenever you want, free meals, and it's fun.

Fantastic experience: I went to the Rotary club meeting in the large banquet hall. It was beautiful and the catered food was fantastic. This is a wonderful event space and I really enjoyed my time there. I was greeted promptly at the door also, and given very helpful directions to get to the meeting.

Fantastic experience: The Denver Athletic Club is a long time fitness club that is ran by the members and has the oldest bowling ally in Colorado. Not only a fitness club but a breakfast lunch and dinner restaurant and a bar. Meet with clients friends or family. Tons of amenities and staff that attend to you every need.

Fantastic experience: Always a pleasure to dine and utilize the business meeting facilities. Event staff is ALWAYS over the top in providing everything to conduct a successful session. Thanks Nicole!!

Fantastic experience: Here for a wedding reception. Lovely venue. Rooftop deck. Party was great. Good food. Lots of fun!!! Place full of charm and history.

Fantastic experience: Donny the bartender is by far the friendliest and best bartender I have ever encountered anywhere. He is an expert at his craft. He is happy and friendly night after night creating an atmosphere you look forward to returning to.

Fantastic experience: Great equipment, friendly staff, incredible spaces for basketball, indoor raquet sports, huge pool, great restaurants and an old-school tavern... The DAC is so much more than a gym. It has no peer.

Fantastic experience: Great club. It's more than a gym and has restaurants and pubs inside. They put on a ton of member events. If you're looking to get connected, it's a great place to meet good people.

Fantastic experience: Love it. Easily the best club in town. Every member is treated like family . Super friendly and lots of social events . Also great racquetball and squash communities .

Fantastic experience: Not only does my husband love being a member, but the DAC was absolutely perfect for our wedding. The service and the food were absolutely amazing. I would highly recommend the DAC to anyone.

Fantastic experience: The Best Club in town. Tremendous athletic offerings, from Pilates to squash to swimming to bowling. Great social and dining outlets, meeting space, you name it! 350,000 square feet of services.

Fantastic experience: Never crowded, very fun, much more than athletics, it's a social club as well. Pool, restautant, bar, cafe, squash, raquetball, bowling, pilates, yoga, TRX, summer concerts, social activities, basketball gym, boxing, 3 class studios, childcare, steam and dry sauna. So much!!

Fantastic experience: It shows its age in places, but the vast number of options and facilities choices can't be touched anywhere in Denver. The gym is top notch with top of the line equipment, great pool, squash, work areas, social areas etc. Nothing else quite like it.

Fantastic experience: Truly a wonderful place to go workout and a great demonstration piece of the inflatable structure that can be used in many parts of the world as a first responding shelter that can be inflated to restore order and safety as soon as possible for our smaller Islands that consists of over 150 thousand islands around the world to ensure the best preparation in case of another catastrophic Collision of an asteroid the size of Mexico's horn.
