You know that moment where you just want to quit because your body just hurts but then there is either an inner voice that tells you to keep going or you have that one motivator person telling you not to?! For me I do need that person because I tend to think that when it hurts, it’s time to stop. But it’s that time in your workout you need to try your hardest to keep going and that’s where change happens in the workout room and in life. Here are my top five places that give me that little push I very much need.
I am currently now based out of Denver, Colorado and I have been trying out classes and gyms the last couple of months to truly figure out where I want to spend most of my days. As many of you know, working out is something I love to do and is part of my everyday life. Living in California for almost ten years, I was hooked on Equinox but that’s not available here in Denver. YET! I hope. So if you are ever in the Denver area and you want to get your sweat on these are my top places:
Pearl Street Fitness: Currently hooked. I’m usually not the biggest fan of small gyms with minimal space but this place makes it all worth it. It’s not huge but there’s enough room to do the workouts they design perfectly. I’ve done MANY gym classes and workouts through out my life but there is a special energy and dynamic here. You feel like you are getting a personal training session but there is other people in the class. You’ll instantly feel like you are getting a workout the first 5 minutes of starting class. I don’t know about you but I love my workouts to be intense and know that I worked my ass off when it’s over. This place does this for me. I feel like dying through out the whole entire class but I see results happening and that’s what makes me love it so much. Also, the trainers and people that go here are just straight up amazing people that have great energy.
F45 Training: Not sure if you guys have heard of F45 but it’s starting to blow up all over the world. You will sweat so much, definitely bring your own towel. This place has the newest and greatest equipment for your workout. Best best part of about F45 is their computer screens on the wall that show you your workout exercises and the time. You know when you have that one trainer that makes 15 seconds last a million minutes?! None of that here. 🙂 The trainers here are also very passionate about your safety and workout experience which makes you feel even more comfortable while you’re sweating your bum off.
Fitness In The City: Circuit training at it’s finest here. Great space, awesome equipment and good vibes all around. If you like pretty big groups and working in two’s this place is for you. The trainers are also so great at pushing you and making you complete your workout at your ultimate limit. Since you are put in groups for each exercise and circuit you meet a lot of people here. You leave this place with a good ole sweat and amigos. Win/win.
Cyclebar: Get your hands up if you love to spin?! I’m so picky about my spin classes that it’s really hard for me to stay consistent. I believe the music needs to be on point, workout needs to be tough but it also needs to be fun all at the same time. Cyclebar definitely will give you all three, you’ll want to go for more. You get your cardio fix as well as an upper body workout during class. They are opening up everywhere so make sure to make one close to your neighborhood!
In a city that is growing so fast and has endless places to workout, these are my top four. I know I haven’t done all that is available here but I know these will be some of your top too. So if you’re looking for a place to sweat you won’t be disappointed with these! Get it X
