CrossFit South Denver: Reviews
Fantastic experience: I have been coming here for eight years now and I can't say enough good things about my community here. I have made some life-long friends and become so much stronger than I ever imagined. This gym and community has completely changed my life and I cannot imagine ever going somewhere else.
Thanks for the review it helps a ton
Fantastic experience: I met with Kyle recently during my trip to Colorado. Kyle is a true professional that walked me through the workout step by step. The gym is large, clean and well equipped. I will definitely schedule more visits during my next trip.
Fantastic experience: Incredible gym with an even better community. Kyle is incredibly knowledgeable, supportive and really took the time to ensure I didn’t hurt myself doing the back squat. Facility is huge and equipment is great. Even at 5:30 am everyone was super welcoming and positive. Such a great spot! Kyle, you rock!
Fantastic experience: Rad community. Knowledgeable coaches.
You are pretty rad too.
Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough about the help coach Kyle recently gave me. I was very self conscious and nervous as to how to get started. Kyle was patient and worked with me through my nerves. I would highly recommend this business!!!
Fantastic experience: Best gym! Coach Kyle is incredibly knowledgeable and supportive, and the entire class is so welcoming. Highly recommend!
Thanks a ton anna can’t wait to see you this month.
Fantastic experience: Dropped in for a few days while visiting. Felt welcome right when I stepped into the gym. Great programming and you can tell Kyle loves what he does. He’ll maximize your time each class. Mahalo for having me!
It was a pleasure having your energy Rachel. Hope to see you again when you visit.
Fantastic experience: Hands down the best CrossFit in Denver. Spent years before coming here getting really good at injuring myself and practicing poor form. Now that I’m older, not getting injured is a top priority for me and the coaches really focus on proper technique to help me achieve that. Love that each class is a diverse group of people from beginners to advanced, young to old, all different body types. Can’t highly recommend this place enough.
Thanks for caring a lot about your health and well being. It's a testament to who you are as a person father and husband. As always we enjoy you good man and hope to continue to make great progress with your future well being and strength as the priority. Thank you for the wisdom you've imparted to members coaches and myself as well, your levity of spirit and how you carry yourself, it is of great benefit to this gym. See you later this week.
Fantastic experience: I was looking for a new gym after moving neighborhoods, and I stumbled upon this gym. I've never done CrossFit before, I was intimidated by it. Most of my fears were put to rest immediately because Kyle is a top notch person and coach. He is genuinely focused on each individual member's growth and fitness journey, no matter what level they are at. I felt totally comfortable here as a CrossFit beginner, especially because the people at the gym are very kind and welcoming, and Kyle and the other coaches always provide modifications that suit my level as a CrossFit newbie and coming off of a shoulder surgery. I am frequently challenged and feel that I am becoming more fit than I have been in my life, but I don't ever feel pressured to do more than I can do, or to risk injury. I love this gym's focus on mobility and flexibility as well. I really can't say enough good things about it, and if you're considering joining a gym to have some accountability, community, and growth in your fitness journey, this is the place to be.
It’s been great seeing you get stronger and more confident.
Negative experience: Kyle is an average coach that wants what's best for his members with a pretty typical CF gym. (3-4 stars) Unfortunately, I have had multiple billing issues with the gym and even after being told they would be fixed, they were not adjusted or fixed.(1 star) Really wish we had a better experience here as I had high hopes. :(
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. As we mentioned in our previous communications, we are unable to offer discounts to members who sign contracts, as this helps us maintain fairness and consistency across our community.
We’re sorry to hear that your experience didn’t fully meet your expectations though you never seemed to mention it, and that you chose to leave a review after your time with us ended. We genuinely strive to provide a positive experience for all of our members, and we wish you the best in finding a gym that aligns with your requirements.
If there’s anything we can clarify further, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Best regards,
Kyle Cook
Owner, CrossFit South Denver
Fantastic experience: Awesome gym with great coaching and welcoming members. I tried out a few other crossfit gyms in the Denver area before joining South Denver and the coaching and energy here is un matched. Kyle really cares to train you and work with you on form and technique which is what I was looking for in a gym with being on the newer side to crossfit. Very excited to get better and be a part of this gym! Definitely check it out if you’re on the hunt for a great crossfit gym that pushes you to become better.
Thank you for taking the time to write about your experience. Can’t wait to keep coaching you and watching you grow and strength, confidence coordination, and all the things we are here to work on.
Fantastic experience: Really positive and upbeat atmosphere. Great vibes and an even better workout. Definitely recommend.
Fantastic experience: Love Crossfit South Denver! Definitely recommend taking Kyle’s classes! He’s a great coach and takes the time to make sure everyone is doing each exercise correctly and safely so you get the best results!
Fantastic experience: Kyle is the best trainer in Denver! Always provides a killer workout in a welcoming environment.
Fantastic experience: Kyle has assembled an extraordinary group of people who are all committed to making you reach your goals. This is a true community and Kyle is a great leader
Negative experience: It may be a great idea to call ahead of time. Despite their website stating drop ins are welcome (with the option to book and pay)…turns out…they actually aren’t always accepted. I just happened to reach out about the WODs and was told they aren’t accepting drop ins.
Tara, typically we are always welcoming of drop ins, but due to some new staffing these next two weeks we are unable to accommodate anyone that isn’t a regular member. I told you this when you reached out today to ask about a drop in.
Fantastic experience: Short story: CFSD has great coaches, and you will learn to be a better CrossFit athlete there. The community is great. You can go as hard or scale as hard as you want, and everyone is supportive of each other, and no one is going to judge you. Long story: I started CrossFit South Denver in January of this year. I have been doing CrossFit on and off for 8 years with 6 of them being super consistent at different gyms in CA and VA. Coming to Colorado I have found that CFSD has the best coaches I have ever met. Coach Kyle in particular. When I came to the gym for the first time because a friend went there, he right away told me multiple things I could fix with different movements. I wasn’t planning on joining a gym but continued to go because of Kyle’s coaching. At first, I was really upset that no one had told me these corrections years ago! Kyle is a stickler for good technique so his members don’t hurt themselves and so they learn the correct way of doing things. After attending classes for the last 7 months, I have never been stronger. I attribute it to Kyle’s focus on breathing and keeping your core engaged during warm up/wod/strength portion of class and having an eye for small changes you can make. I have never had a coach that explains when and how you are supposed to breath and engage your core during lifts and movements and why. I truly think this is what has helped me the most in being able to substantially increase my max weight on literally all of my lifts. My husband who used to do CrossFit literally tells me every other week, how have you gotten so jacked? The only difference in my training is the coaching. CFSD also focuses on setting goals. I have always wanted to do ring muscle ups and could never get them over the last 8 years I have done CrossFit. They seemed unattainable since whatever I did, I couldn’t improve. After attending a goal setting class Kyle put on, I decided to do a personal training session with him on May 13th where he showed me what progressions to work on before/after class. I successfully did my first strict ring muscle up on July 31st! Besides the coaching, the members at CFSD are great! Everyone is very supportive of each other. Coffee Friday after the 6:40am class is always fun for people to get to know each other and make plans for outside of class. Moving here this past August it has been great to make new friends. If you are looking to start CrossFit or get better at CrossFit I would definitely recommend CFSD.
Wow what a glowing review. It's going to be fun to continue to live up to these high expectations that we started with. But we will enjoy getting better together. Can't wait for the next goal to accomplish with your effort and our small help.
Fantastic experience: I dropped in from Houston & Kyle was so nice and welcoming. Loved the energy of the class and how helpful the coaching was throughout. Would definitely go back!
Thank you so much for taking your time on your vacation to drop in and learn a little and teach me about yourself. It was a pleasure to have you can’t wait to see you again in the future.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been attending CrossFit south Denver for about 4 years now, and it’s been an incredible experience. Like anything worth doing, CrossFit can be a difficult experience at first. Thankfully Coach Kyle Cook knows how to help beginners to build a strong foundation in the sport so they can stay safe as they grow and develop in the sport. CrossFit South Denver has a large space and manages to balance class sizes well so that the athletes have plenty of space to work and the coaches give everyone the attention they need. There are plenty of class times available so you can find something that suits your schedule so you can build the consistency you need to achieve your fitness goals. CrossFit South Denver provides great scaling options s making it a great gym no matter what your skill level.
Thank you so much for your kind words and for being a part of the CrossFit South Denver community for the past four years. It means a lot to hear that your experience has been a positive one, especially as you’ve navigated the challenges of starting out in CrossFit. I’m grateful that I’ve been able to help you build a strong foundation, and I’m proud to see how far you’ve come.
We strive to create an environment where everyone feels supported and has the space and attention they need to grow, regardless of their skill level. Knowing that this approach has made a difference in your fitness journey is incredibly rewarding.
Thank you for your commitment and consistency—it's athletes like you who make our community so special. I’m excited to continue supporting you as you work toward your goals!
Fantastic experience: Amazing gym. There is no substitute for a great coach/owner and South Denver is fortunate to have Kyle Cook. Kyle takes the time to make sure every member is reaching their fullest potential while keeping safety and overall body health in mind as well. I am in healthcare, and speaking with Kyle is a refresher course in human anatomy/physiology. In my stressful life, I cherish the time I get to spend within those walls getting better.
Rishi I appreciate your words and thoughts. It’s a pleasure to work with you and I’m always excited when you have the time to make it in for class.
Fantastic experience: Best coach, great atmosphere, fun and supportive group of people! Highly recommend
Hope we continue to meet your high expectations as we continue to push to become even more mindful and a great mover
Fantastic experience: I love this gym!!! Kyle is the best coach. Making sure I get stronger with great form
Miss you wonderful person see you next week for some coffee
Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a great gym with lots of space and equipment, Crossfit South Denver is the place. I appreciate that Kyle focuses on technique and form more than excessive weight. He is encouraging and the members are very supportive. The published WODs have scales to accommodate everyone. I'm happy to have found CSD after moving to Denver.
Thank you Kevin for taking the time to review the gym, it's a treat to have you and your enthusiasm for yourself and your health. Thank you for making us apart of your health plan
Fantastic experience: I had been a CrossFit Coach and gym manager for 8+ years before becoming a SAHM and finally getting to just enjoy the workouts. Through my experience I have been apart of multiple gyms as well as visited many different ones and I have to honestly say that this is the best coached gym I’ve ever been involved in. It’s often found in CrossFit that if you find a quality gym, they typically have 1-2 high quality coaches with others just being fillers for random classes, but not at South Denver. Literally every coach I have done a class under has been phenomenal. They give great tips, they know the movement and they’re skilled in teaching you to do it correctly. Also they put your body’s longevity at the forefront and know when to tell you to back off and when to push it. I would recommend this gym to any and everyone, whether you are a top competitive athlete or just walking into a gym for the first time ever. I promise they’ve got you covered!
Hoping to get you back In here soon. Thanks for the glowing review. It was a pleasure coaching you.
Fantastic experience: Joining CrossFit South Denver has truly been a game-changer for me! Despite being a complete newbie to CrossFit and just weightlifting in general, I've found the workouts to be enjoyable and very adaptable, so no need to be intimidated. Over the past few months of being at CFSD, I've noticed a remarkable improvement in my strength, speed, and overall fitness level. The coaching is exceptional, with Kyle going above and beyond to get to know each member on a personal level. The community of people at CFSD has been so great and welcoming. Going to class is often one of the highlights of my day!
Thank you for the feedback it helps us hone in on what’s important.
Fantastic experience: Kyle and the other coaches are great! Beautiful community and killer workouts. I learn something new every time I come in. Highly recommend!
Thank you Jessica.
Fantastic experience: Amazing gym, best coaches I have ever come across in the CrossFit world ! Highly recommend this gym to any and all.
Thank you for the review Olivia it helps us reframe the importance of what we do. People helping people.
Fantastic experience: The BEST in the business. There isn't a ton of whitespace when it comes to gyms in Denver, but Kyle and CFSD stand in a league of their own. I've been training privately with Kyle for nearly four years and I credit him with being in the best shape of my life. I started with him almost a year after my full hip replacement, still limping, and not able to do any of the activities I love because of discomfort and weakness in my hip. His knowledge of movement and training, along with his professionalism and passion for his craft are unmatched and I am now back to skiing, trail running, mountain biking, horseback riding, hiking, surfing, and anything else I want. I never thought I would ever be able to do those things again and not only am I back at it, but I'm stronger and better at them than I ever have been. Run, don't walk to this gym. I can't recommend it enough.
Wow, what an incredible testimonial! I’m truly humbled and grateful for your kind words. When you first came to me after your hip replacement, I saw your determination and knew we could achieve great things together. It's been an amazing journey watching you regain your strength and surpass your previous capabilities.
Your dedication and hard work have been the real driving forces behind your incredible progress. It's clients like you that make this job so rewarding. Hearing that you’re not only back to doing the activities you love but also excelling at them is the best news I could ask for. Thank you for trusting me and CFSD with your recovery and fitness journey. Here's to many more years of health and adventure!
Fantastic experience: Kyle’s the man. Great gym focused on sustainable and safe exercise practices. Top notch
Giving you advice is a fun part of my job. Watching you improve is just a great side effect.
See you later this week.
Fantastic experience: Knowledgeable coaching staff and fun environment. Growing up playing sports I finally feel like an athlete again.
Thank you for the review it helps us do our job better and we enjoy having you back
Fantastic experience: I have been going to Cross Fit South Denver for 6 months. Kyle is a dynamic and professional trainer. I would highly encourage you to consider training with him- I am 60... so need some extra attention!
You the man David. Your constant energy and drive make the day brighter
Fantastic experience: Great people, great coaching, and a great facility! This community got me back into group fitness after swearing it off for the last 5 years.
Miss you good man
Fantastic experience: Visited from out of town. After a quick message to their number I dropped in multiple times over the course of a week and the owner/everyone I encountered was super polite. Couldn’t recommend a nicer gym
Thanks Cadin pleasure having your energy and drive in the gym/ hope to see you again.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely thrilled with my experience at Crossfit South Denver! I've been attending regularly for over two years, and I can't say enough good things. The coaching from Kyle and Steve is top-notch—they bring an incredible blend of expertise and friendliness that makes each session both challenging and enjoyable. You're not just lifting weights here. You're building an understanding of holistic movement that contributes to your overall well-being. But what truly sets this gym apart is the preventative approach to fitness. There's a distinct emphasis on avoiding injuries, which is a massive selling point for anyone serious about creating a sustainable fitness routine. The programming is intelligent and considers not just strength and agility, but also long-term mobility and health. This isn't your run-of-the-mill gym. It's a place that prioritizes quality over quantity. If you're looking to build a robust, sustainable fitness habit, I couldn't recommend Crossfit South Denver more highly.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been attending South Denver Fitness / South Denver CrossFit since I relocated to Denver several years ago. CrossFit has been something I’ve been doing off-and-on since I first was introduced to it in the Air Force, back in 2009. I’ve attended many gyms, but this one unequivocally stands out as the best in my experiences. Throughout the years attending here, there’s only been a few times where location wise it was close and convenient to where I lived. Yet, I always kept my membership here despite how inconvenient of a drive it became at times through all my many moves around the Denver metro area. Why? The coaching and support I’ve found. I’m sure it’s located somewhere on their site, or through their marketing promotions, but this is one of the few gyms in the country that can boast having a coach at the top level, and at pretty much every level leading up to the highest level of coaching. Although that may not sound like much to the layman, many of my friends and family that have attended with me while passing through town have exclaimed the training is top notch. Included in that bunch is my younger brother, an Army Lieutenant, and another close friend of mine who is an avid CrossFit enthusiast and previously many years ago was in the qualifying rounds for the Olympics for powerlifting. This gym has through the years helped me with many goals. From getting back on my feet and back to healthy habits after taking a six year hiatus from exercise and eating right, to pushing me to lose 24 pounds for a diet contest last summer. The support I’ve received here has been unparalleled regardless of which coach I’ve worked with. I hope to keep attending here as long as I am here in Denver and recommend South Denver Fitness / CrossFit to anyone who is looking at either getting back into a healthy physical condition (like I was at the beginning) or who is looking to elevate their fitness level (where I am now).
Thank you a ton Johnny see you this week.
Fantastic experience: increased my athleticism 10 fold
Miss you good man
Fantastic experience: Awesome coaches good vibes and best atmosphere!
See you soon again
Fantastic experience: CrossFit South Denver is the best! Kyle and his team are amazing coaches. I learned so much about proper form, how to breathe, and how to push myself in a safe way. Every coach takes the time to make sure you are taking care of your body while working out. If you ever thought about trying CrossFit/weight lifting, go to CrossFit South!
Glad we found each other Rena. You bring a consistent professional attitude and ability to push even at the end of a long day. Joy to have you.
Fantastic experience: Would give ten stars if I could! Great gym, great owners. If you want to learn basic fitness principles or you're super into Crossfit, Kyle is your guy. Came to learn proper running and lifting form, and left with just that (and mobility skills!). Shout out to Gabe, Lisa, and Copley; whole team slays!
Miss you nyc lady
Fantastic experience: CrossFit south Denver is a one stop shop. Competent Coaching, in-tune owner operator, functional fitness, and top notch culture. I had the honor of being member here for over year until I moved. If you live in south Denver and want to become a better athlete or are just maybe looking to start your fitness journey, check in with Kyle at CFSD today.
Where you at drew
Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member at CrossFit South Denver for almost 10 years. I’ve stayed this long because of the outstanding coaching from Kyle and the gang. CFSD provides a great supportive environment for cross fitters of all skill levels. The classes are challenging, varied and fun. I would highly recommend this gym!!
Every year we get stronger. It’s quite the adventure we’ve had.
Fantastic experience: I've been doing CrossFit for about a decade and I've been a member at quite a few gyms during that time and I've seen what works and what doesn't. From the un-intimidating atmosphere to the fun and unwaveringly supportive community, South Denver Just. Works. One of the main things that I think sets them apart from other gyms is their focus on lifelong fitness - it's not just a slogan here. They prioritize healthy and sustainable gains, so no matter your goal, from competition to keeping up with the grandkids - this is the place.
5 personal records and we going for 5 more. keep coming, and buy some grips so we can get 20 unbroken tie to bar
Fantastic experience: I joined Crossfit South Denver two and a half years ago; love the people, phenomenal coaches for all levels of athletes and good vibes! Kyle is a detailed instructor who breaks down all the movements and ensures you feel safe and comfortable while moving you through your fitness journey. The gym itself is very welcoming and you quickly feel like you belong. If you are interested in giving crossfit a try, want to improve your fitness or take yourself to the next level; this is the place for you!
Fantastic experience: CrossFit South Denver has been a huge part of my life for almost 10 years that I am truly grateful for. It’s much more than just a gym or a place to work out. I have met so many great people there and they have the best instructors. Kyle is an amazing coach! He has helped me through pain and other issues that come along with an auto immune disease. His training and support over the years has helped keep me moving pain free and feeling strong!
She’s gone but missed. Wish you and Jarrod the best. Hope Carl is well
Fantastic experience: The skills of the coaching staff here at CrossFit south Denver are absolutely unmatched. L3 trainers with unbelievable passion for learning who you are as an individual and pushing you to be the best version of yourself. This place will leave you stronger, faster, and most importantly pain free if you listen to the abundant information the coaches have to offer. Recommend to any level of athlete, brand new to the sport or looking to compete, crossfit south Denver will get you there.
Miss you good man
Fantastic experience: Great workouts, environment, and community. Always the gym I recommend to my own patients that are getting back into the gym or new to CrossFit because I know the coaching staff will take great care in keeping them safe.
Fantastic experience: I was turned off of CrossFit for awhile after injuring my back at a previous CrossFit gym. Crossfit South Denver prioritizes good and healthy movement and the coaches really work with you to improve your lifts/movements. I love this gym and the community they’ve created. So happy I found South Denver and would highly recommend to any skill level! Thanks guys!
Can’t wait to crush it this weekend and Hyrox NYC
Fantastic experience: CrossFit is pretty intimidating if you have never been a part of a gym, that is until you experience it at South Denver Fitness. Kyle and the team of coaches bring a practical, yet extremely knowledgeable, approach to improving your fitness and extending the best years of your life. This gym is filled with wonderful people who all share a similar approach to bettering themselves. The vibe is always inviting yet the hard work awaits for those who want it! All of the coaches take individual approaches tailored to each athlete allowing competition across all skill levels! This is my home base and will be for as long as possible. I love my team and would love you to come try it as well.
My dude with the review of the year. Hope it was a great weekend
Fantastic experience: This was the first CrossFit gym I have ever attended and I definitely think it's going to be extremely hard to find another that comes anywhere near this place! The coaches are amazing and knowledgeable and taught me so so so much. I have never felt stronger and have learned so many things that I never thought I'd be able to do. If you're looking to get strong and healthy, and STAY strong and healthy come here.
Miss you much lady.
Fantastic experience: Having done CrossFit off and on for 10 years my husband and I have experienced a range of gyms and coaching. The coaching at South Denver is truly top notch and a pinnacle example of how classes should be run. The focus is absolutely on improvement and longevity over an extra few pounds on a lift or a few more questionable reps. The space is maximized and always clean each class. We also enjoy the atmosphere among members who are working to get better and stronger but without inflated egos or clique like mentalities. My husband’s quote was “We should have come here sooner!”
It’s been a pleasure having you share the space. Get worse at stuff so it’s easier for me to help:)
Fantastic experience: Great gym if you’re new to CrossFit or want a break from the competitive atmospheres at some other gyms. Kyle and team keep it focused on the long-term with thoughtful warm-ups, skill work, strength training, and conditioning. You will learn better movement and breathing no matter your experience level. Give them 3 hours/week for 6 months and you will be a better (and happier) athlete. See you in class!
Thank you for taking time out of the day for your thoughts Collin. And thanks for giving us a try.
Fantastic experience: I've been doing crossfit for 8 years and I've never worked with such knowledgeable coaches as the coaches at CrossFit South Denver. Most of them have their L3 certification which means they've done extensive training so that they can be great movement coaches. I've made more progress on my strength and gymnastics skills in the past few years at South Denver than I had in my prior years at other gyms. Plus, it's a fun and welcoming community!
Appreciate your words and time it took for the review. Hope to keep getting after our weaknesses.
Fantastic experience: I stopped in as a guest on the way to Breckinridge and they treated me like I’ve been going there for years! Kyle was absolutely incredible. He answered all my questions with ease! Very knowledgeable & welcoming!! This is why I do CrossFit! Everywhere you go is family! I HIGHLY recommend!!
Appreciate you taking the time to make it in. Have fun at the mountain good man. Hopefully see you again. It was a pleasure getting to meet you. Also appreciate the time you took to review us. It helps a ton.
Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a Great community and a Coaching staff that is second to none. CFSD is the place to go!
Thanks for the love good sir.
Fantastic experience: Best gym. Period. The coaches know more about moving the body safely and efficiently than anyone I’ve ever met. And my career is in healthcare. They make it safe. They make it fun. And everyone at the gym is so dang supportive. I can come in dead last for a section and still be greeted with cheers and high fives. Thankful for this community.
Dang. We appreciate the vote of confidence. Can’t wait to keep building up your health.
Fantastic experience: Best gym in Denver, and it’s not close. Great atmosphere, informed and helpful coaches, challenging workouts, and a great group of people. If you’re looking to find your next CrossFit gym, or curious about giving it a go for the first time, swing by CrossFit South Denver - it’s great!
Dang man. Thanks for your time in writing this. Appreciate you greatly.it’s been a great 5 years with you.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend this gym, especially for those new to CrossFit. I been doing it for 5+ years and been to gyms all over the world. The most important thing in a gym is the coaching and how they educate members on moving well for the long term, not short term egos. Not all gyms prioritize this and some just let members come in and do whatever they want, that defeats the purpose of having a trained coach in class! Kyle and the whole coaching staff here are amazing movers and take the time to help you understand how to do exercises right, and things you can do to improve (stability, mobility, etc.). The programing is also quality, its not every day 40minute take your soul workouts, the team builds in periodization and balance so you can stay consistent over time and maximize results. Classes are a great mix of folks of all ages and athletic experience together and Kyle & team find ways for folks to scale workouts to their level and work towards safe progressions.
Thanks for taking the time to write that good man. Hope all is well.
Positive experience: As someone crossfit certified in 2008 and having had worked with near 500 coaches, Angela was a great coaching experience! The class was well programmed and lead with a good mix of camaraderie and pushing each other. The gym itself is your typical, fully equipped (with a few fun and intriguing toys!), industrial garage style crossfit gym. They have some outfoor equipment and sleds in the back parking lot area. Looking forward to checking them out again
When were you in good sir?
Fantastic experience: I had tried out a few crossfit gyms here and there around the Denver area before finding Crossfit South Denver. This was the first gym I felt like I could really come into and get the sense of 'community' I had been looking for. I had been with the gym for over three years, and learned so much in my time there. Kyle is an amazing coach who takes the time to really help you and focuses on the 'why'. I can't thank this community enough for such a wonderful crossfit experience. If you want a challenge, regardless of your level, this gym is truly one of a kind!
We are so grateful that you included us in your fitness journey. Thank you for contributing to our Crossfit community.
Fantastic experience: What I appreciate most about this gym is Kyle and the entire coaching staff's dedication to helping members move with the correct form. I have learned a great deal about proper (and safe) movement since going to this gym. I found a welcoming community here and would recommend them to anyone!
Thank you for the shout out Brian!
Fantastic experience: Great coaches, extremely accommodating with busy lifestyles
We appreciate you take the time to leave us feedback, we appreciate you!
Fantastic experience: I have trained in this sport for years. I travel a lot and have dropped into many of CrossFit Gym. CrossFit South Denver is absolutely among the top gym I have ever visited. My reasoning for this is the athletes there and their positive attitude and more importantly the owner/coach Kyle. His knowledge, communication and coaching skills are far beyond most. Definitely a great place to train.
It was a pleasure getting to hear about your day to day and meeting you. Hope the rest of your trip was great. Always drop back in if life allows for it.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member for just shy of 6 months, and my only regret is not joining sooner. Kyle is an amazing coach who seems to understand the human body in ways not many people do. The community is great, music is loud, and the workouts are tough, but achievable, and a hell of a lot of fun. I’d highly recommend it to anybody who is looking for something new
Thank you for the feedback it’s good to know we are getting you in the right direction good sir. It’s a pleasure working with you.
Fantastic experience: Best place if you want to really get the most expertise trainers and the most incredible results + recovery of injuries! 10/10 will make you stronger
You were a joy to work with Kayla. Thanks for giving me a shot to help you out after your injury. Come by if you ever move back down south.
Fantastic experience: To be honest, I was hesitant to try CrossFit because I was afraid to get injured as a result of poor form & lifting too much weight. Looking for a new challenge, I gave this gym a shot for one week and I was very impressed, especially with the attention to detail on form & technique. It also put me at ease that every single workout is scalable (modified/less weight), so you don't feel pressured to do the recommended weight or workout if your unable to do it yet. Kyle and the rest of the coaches are fantastic and there is a wide range of skill level and age which is a plus. Overall - if you want to go through the motions or just fly through a workout with poor form and not listen to your coaches, then I would look elsewhere. If you want to learn proper technique & live a healthier lifestyle, then I would highly recommend this gym.
Thanks for the review Dustin. See us next week. Go bucks.
Fantastic experience: 10/10 definitely recommend South Denver! Whether you’re dropping in or looking for a new gym home, South Denver is a fantastic choice. I moved to Denver from out of state and felt instantly welcomed at this gym. The other members are so encouraging and the coaches are all really helpful and very intentional each day. It’s been awesome to see my progress since first coming to South Denver
Thanks Courtney, miss seeing your face hope we see you again soon. We enjoyed your energy and appreciate the review. Drop in when you are done adventuring.
Fantastic experience: I have been a member of CrossFit South Denver since 2016. The gym, coaches, and fellow members have become a significant part of my life. I continue my membership here because of the excellent coaching, the amazing relationships I've built, and the overall welcoming environment. My relationship with my body and my fitness has changed A LOT over the years and I have been able to satisfy differing goals with the coaching and programming provided (including just making it in 2 times a week all the way to 5 or 6 days a week and competing). My favorite things about this gym: 1. The coaching: Excellent coaching for all levels. I am continually pushed as my skills advance and encouraged to work on my weaknesses. 2. The environment: I have dropped in to many gyms in the area and I truly feel that South has one of the best communities. I love that there is overall diversity in the membership and that the more elite athletes are not prioritized. 3. The programming: I appreciate that the programming is meant to improve overall long-term fitness (not just crush your soul) and is always easily scalable. I also appreciate that Kyle takes the time to explain the intent of the programming as well as the trajectory of the training cycle. In summary, I highly recommend checking out CrossFit South Denver :)
Hey,
Thanks for being the thorough person you are and writing this out. See you this week.
Fantastic experience: Crossfit South Denver is one of a kind. Kyle, the owner, is extremely knowledgeable and encouraging. The gym and it's members create an atmosphere that pushes you to become the best version of yourself.
Thanks for writing that out Will. See us next week, good luck in our competition.
Fantastic experience: The moment I walked into CFSD I knew I made the right choice just by showing up! Whether you are new to fitness or consider yourself a regular at the gym CFSD is adaptable to you and your skills. Coach/Owner Kyle Cook is extremely knowledgeable and passionate in his role as a coach. He is great about sharing his knowledge, tools and resources to help YOU achieve your own personal health and fitness goals. I look forward to my gym sessions they never disappoint! I always feel accomplished after I leave. I have also taken the opportunity to participate in the Weightlifting Classes and overall impressed with the direction and support to help improve my capabilities and techniques. Great Culture/ Great Support/Great Gym
You rock Karen, see this week.
Fantastic experience: I've been coming to this gym for a couple of months and it has been great, I've never been the type of person to dedicate myself to a gym since I don't have much motivation but that is definitely not the case for this gym. Kyle and his team are great and the atmosphere is friendly and everyone there motivates you! I enjoy the workouts and the small classes.
Thanks for your review Jose. Can’t wait to get back after it this week with you.
Fantastic experience: I have been a member for close to 8 months now and I can say it is my favorite gym I have been a part of in Denver. The gym itself is spacious, really clean and just has a great community around it that keeps things fun and exciting. Kyle is an excellent coach that really pushes you to keep going and work harder in the classes while still keeping things fun and exciting with the curriculum. The people in the gym day after day range from beginner to high-level and this allows you to learn from the people around you and match up to the weight level of other people on your skill / strength level. Other than that, they have done a great job through the pandemic time to keep people safe in the gym by keeping classes more spread out and keeping everything super clean and sanitized.
Good man appreciate your thoughts and words. Can’t wait to conquer this new challenge you’ve set up for yourself.
Fantastic experience: I had never done a power snatch before joining CFSD. Love that this gym has a variety of workouts from weight lifting to cardio, even a version of yoga (ROMWOD) and if you're not feeling up to doing the workout of the day the coaches willgive you a great alternative.... also like that the coaches are very knowledgeable in what they do, they show you step by step how to perform the workouts. I would definitely recommend this gym.
Regina, you are a solid rock to the morning class and it’s going to be fun to see where you can take your body and mind in 2022. Keep your eyes on it.
Fantastic experience: Started crossfit 11months ago with Crossfit South Denver. This was my first experience with Crossfit, but I came from a powerlifting and climbing background. Kyle does a great job of personalizing fitness advice for each member based on their abilities and goals. Kyle showed that he truly cared for his members when the pandemic first hit and he offered to loan many pieces of his equipment for home use. He has fostered a really nice community of people, everyone there is very friendly. Also notable when compared to other fitness options, there is a roughly 1/ 1 ratio of male/ female, as well as a wide age range of members. I think speaks to the safe space he has created (in my experience, many gyms with a bunch of barbells has mostly male members). The other coaches are also top notch, from my experience. Whether you just want to dip your toes into the crossfit world, or are a seasoned crossfitter, I'd recommend this spot.
Thank you much for your thought out response good man. You are a gem to have at the gym. Fun to have an inquisitive mind who asks the right questions or questions at all.
Fantastic experience: I have been a member of CFSD for a little over 2 years now and highly recommend this gym to anyone looking for a CrossFit gym. Kyle is a great coach with deep knowledge of human movement, with a focus on safety, range of motion, and movement fundamentals. Good option for first-timers, experienced crossfitters, or someone just looking for a place to crank up the music and lift heavy stuff. Gym is kept clean and has all the equipment you need to stay fit.
Thanks for taking the time for the review, it’s fun and humbling to have you come in and crush it. Keep on getting after it good man, here’s to the hope I’m able to do strict ring muscle ups in 2030 with you.
Fantastic experience: Been to many boxes out here in CO. Kyle and his team definitely set the bar for professionalism and caring about their members. You can't fake that type of passion. Whether your new to crossfit or have been around the scene for a while, they have what you need to live a fit and healthy lifestyle.
The morning addition of you adds a focus and I cherish getting to coach you up. Finding people that actively pursue difficult but attainable tasks while also having the commitments and schedule you do is quite the anomaly. Appreciate you always being consistent and ready to work. It’s not easy but you do it.
Fantastic experience: Kyle is the best! He has a vision for his members that combines pushing his athletes to be their best with injury prevention and smart, functional fitness. The community is fabulous and the people are top notch. 10/10
You da best
Fantastic experience: I joined CFSD four years ago as a newbie to Denver and CrossFit as a whole. In that time, I’ve learned an immense amount from Kyle and the rest of the coaches at this gym. It’s become my second home, my second family. Whether you’re looking to drop in for a single class, or you’re looking for a new fitness challenge, I feel confident that this is the best place for you.
Miss you and Daniel very much. Pizza and power cleans 2021 is going down because of you two.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been a gym rat for as long as I can remember, routines start to get boring after a while so I decided to start something different. Since starting CrossFit 2 months ago I can say I have been pushed and motivated to reach my max. Instructors are very well versed in all techniques and pass along their skills to their students. I’m very happy with the results so far. If your like me and looking for a next level intensity strength training I recommend CrossFit South Denver
Thanks brother. It’s a joy having you work as hard as you do at your job and then you come in and work hard here also.
Fantastic experience: Kyle and his team provide a fun, challenging, insightful, knowledgeable, and meaningful environment for those who commit. If you show up, simply put, you will see results. It has made a difference in my life after only six months. I recommend it to anyone who wants a challenge and need a change in their life. His gym has provided another place to call home and be amongst friends. Don’t listen to the very few negative reviews. What is offered is well worth the money. Kyle is very adamant about making you understand what getting started will be like. He stresses that life outside of the gym is what makes the difference inside the gym. It’s very clear he cares about his gym members not as customers only, but as friends also.
Fantastic experience: CrossFit South Denver helped my mental and physical health more than anything I could have ever imagined. Kyle offers the perfect balance of support and push that’s necessary to achieve not only your personal goals but life goals as well. I’d give them 10 stars if I could.
Hope you are still getting after it good man.
Fantastic experience: Cannot say enough to praise Kyle and the gym here. Every day you walk in to a positive and welcoming atmosphere. Kyle does a great job of scaling workouts to anyone's ability, and has helped me tremendously in my 6 months here. Anyone looking to start CrossFit should look here, and anyone experienced will certainly find a challenge every day.
When you coming back in?
Fantastic experience: Excellent knowledge & variety of exercises to do every day so your body and brain is always engaged. I needed someone to push me and help me improve where I wasn’t improving on my own in the gym, I have made more progress in 1 months time with Kyle than 6 months on my own. I have previous injuries and Kyle always knows what to do to improve, and most of my problems are gone now. Highly recommend, very educated & knows his stuff! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
When you making it back in?
Fantastic experience: Been working out here about a month - love the coaches, people, and facilities. I’m new to CrossFit and have been treated with respect and care. If you’re on the fence, do it!
Miss ya good man
Fantastic experience: CrossFit is not for the faint of heart. Whether a newbie or a seasoned pro, Kyle is a great teacher of functional movement. His positivity radiates out to whomever he's working with and it shows in the smiles, high-fives, and fist bumps of everyone in the gym. If you are looking for community of like-minded folks working on their health and fitness, look no further than CFSD! A few suggestions: 1) leave your negativity at the door, 2) be willing to be TAUGHT the correct way to do things, even if you think you've done it all before and 3) never leave the gym without saying hey to a few people; you might be surprised to find a new friend!
Hope all is well
Fantastic experience: I could not have asked for a better experience in joining CFSD. All of the coaches take the time to personally coach you through any movement to make sure you understand what you're trying to achieve while emphasizing your safety so you avoid injury. The atmosphere is always positive and engaging but there's no doubt when you're here its time to work. The great people and sense of community make it even easier to keep going back.
4 years later still getting after it.
Fantastic experience: If you are interested in genuine challenge and intensive self-improvement then this is a fantastic place to be. You will never be the same.
Miss seeing ya
Fantastic experience: Crossfit South Denver is a great gym with awesome people. Kyle (owner and head coach) takes a personal interest in members’ lives and how he can impact their fitness and wellness positively. He has a careful eye to correct imperfect form and keep everyone safe. Love the gym ❤️
Thanks for the review Kathy
Fantastic experience: I love this gym, I’ve been coming to CrossFit South Denver for about a year. I look forward to it every day. Great programming. Patient coaches who teach you proper technique and know when to push you. Supportive & positive community.
Miss seeing you
Fantastic experience: I love CrossFit South Denver! I have seen the most changes in my body through the great programming and the supportive community. I have been working out most of my life this has by far been the best investment in myself!
Fantastic experience: This is a great gym for people that are experienced or new to Crossfit. The coach Kyle focuses a lot on proper movements and safety, and is attentive to everyone to make sure they are getting the most out of their workouts. Highly recommend this gym!
Fantastic experience: Kyle and his staff have formed a really cool community where everyone builds strength together. It feels like a team. They are knowledgeable in the fitness and nutrition realms and they will get your mindset on track to accomplish your goals. Recommend 10/10.
Fantastic experience: CFSD has something special going on. The culture they've cultivated on top of their dedication to excellence and progress sets them apart from other boxes around town. I've tried several places. If you keep getting injured, or you tried CrossFit and weren't into the "bro" culture, come check out CFSD.
Miss seeing you.
Fantastic experience: One of the best decisions I've ever made was walking through the door at CFSD. I've grown so much over the past year here and look forward to keeping the momentum going. This gym prides itself on quality, safety, and fun. The vibe is great. The structure is on point. If you're 16 or 60 and want to learn about yourself and get fit while doing it, this is the gym for you.
Miss your energy hope med school was easy…….
Fantastic experience: I went for about six months and enjoyed all the programming, coaching and atmosphere. I have been doing CrossFit for close to five years and South Denver has amazing programming, consistently working on all sorts of movements while continuing with strength and speed. Also, Kyle did a great job of following up and being there for all the athletes during anything new. Continually followed up on anything that I asked about and helped make a quick program for when I was traveling. Have sports during the Spring, Summer and Fall, but will be back.
When you coming back in
Fantastic experience: CrossFit South Denver is great. I started CrossFit here for the first time (about 8 months in now) and am loving it. Kyle (owner) is great to work with and creates a super health/positive atmosphere to workout in. In particular, Kyle does a good job of ensuring that novice and expert alike get the attention and workout they need for every class. On top of that, the people in my class (5:30am) are a lot of fun.
When you making it back in good man
Negative experience: If Crossfit is your thing, I'm sure this would be a great place to go. Kyle is very personable and knowledgeable. I used a groupon he sent me to "try it out" because I had never done it before and was looking to get back into fitness. After a couple classes, however, I knew it wasn't for me. I sent a polite email telling him Crossfit was not for me, I would not be attending the rest of the intro classes, and thank you for your time. He sent back two unprofessional emails that made it clear (now that I was not interested in continuing) he only wished to know how much money I needed to have spent to feel guilty enough to continue attending. Kyle makes it easy to get in and to feel welcome there, and really takes the time to make sure you won't hurt yourself while doing Crossfit (which is great!). However, it is difficult to get out. It seems impossible to just try Crossfit to see if it's for you without any strings attached. He said there was no pressure to love it, but it sure didn't feel that way at the end.
Took a full term (40 weeks) to answer this one. Wanted to not rush to anger.
Jodi brought to light our inefficiency in asking proper intake questions. As well as our mismanagement in charging what we are worth.
All Groupon deals have been removed and we now charge everyone an amount that implores them to be committed to the process of observable and trackable progress or lack thereof.
We were taken aback when we offered Jodi an outstanding deal for our services and then she quit. No one in 9 years has quit The introductory program when paying the full listed price.
So we would like to thank Jodi for reminding us that money isn't everything but it is a form of time. She wasted ours and we let her know if she paid the full amount she probably would have been more apt to stay. She took that as an offense. Data dictates it as a fact not a personal attack.
We also didn’t ask Jodi if any major life events had occurred before starting. Not realizing she had a newborn baby and didn’t have the time to begin starting the program was another misstep on our part.
Fantastic experience: I've been going to CFSD for five years. I'm stronger than I've ever been and it's because of the people. The coaches push you when it's time and reign you when you'd get hurt otherwise. I've never been to a place that cares so much for technique and moving well. There are people covering the spectrum of fitness levels... until they've been here for a while; then they just become so strong. The longtime members are welcoming, kind, and funny as hell. If you want elite training in a low-key environment, or as I joke when I'm being lazy, if you're really more in it for a lifetime of holistic fitness, come by. I look forward to coming every time. I love this place.
Fantastic experience: I was in Denver for a month and was looking for a gym to use while there. Boy, do I wish I lived in Denver. Kyle, the owner, is extremely knowledgeable and was very patient (I was a beginner). The environment is fun and motivational. The people are all wonderful and helpful. I highly recommended this gym!
Thank you 5 years later
Fantastic experience: Great coaching and welcoming for drop in
See you later this year?
Fantastic experience: Very nice place and good vibes!
Appreciate it 6 years later
