I've visited Pearl Street Fitness twice via ClassPass while in Denver. Both workouts left me…read morefeeling exhausted in a great way. The instructors (Ryan and Cory) were welcoming to this newcomer and every day is different, so it was easy to jump in despite not being a regular. Each class involved multiple rounds of exercises targeting different body parts of the body utilizing free weights, body weight, other equipment like jump ropes and steps, and lots of cardio. It's not easy, but the classes really fly by! The instructors were motivating throughout and blasted music to keep up the energy. I went early in the morning and street parking was easy to find outside. They have some cubbies to put your stuff, as well as a water fountain, but don't expect too many other amenities like towels or showers.

WHATTTT?! I can't believe I haven't reviewed the best workout in Denver until now. As a former…read moremember, I gave ClassPass a try and now I'm back on that PSF train--it's THAT good! So here's what up: 45-60 minute HARD AF full body workouts. They have lots of class offerings throughout the day, and you never quite know what you're gonna get. It's a mix of lifting/body weight/HIIT that'll leave you tired and sore and full of endorphins. They have a great, small group of dedicated teachers who are super motivating--I've taken classes from Cory, Jillian, Ryan, Brooke, and Scott and loved them all. I come here about three times a week now and always leave exhausted (in a good way!). As I mentioned, I was giving ClassPass a try but am now a member at Pearl Street. They have an awesome $99 unlimited class deal if you're able to make midday weekday classes, plus some other pricing and drop in options. By far my favorite workout in Denver!!

The instructor was so nice, gave clear instructions, and made key adjustments in form when needed. I love the gentle reminders on the floor under the machines it's a unique touch.

I think I'm past due for a review update, especially since I've been attending classes at Fierce45…read morefor over 18 months now and have taken close to 300 classes. I love the community and the fact that people make an effort to get to know each other. In a city as big as Denver, that is very hard to come by. I also love that there is no talk of weight loss, diets, calories, or being thin in the classes. Fierce45 takes a holistic approach to fitness that focuses on mindset and strength building rather than looking a certain way. Not every studio does this so it is much appreciated. Thanks to Fierce45, I also now have core strength that I never thought possible! I no longer dread when planks are cued. You simply cannot find a better workout for building strength or endurance. I will forever recommend Fierce45 to anyone and everyone.

Yes, he's made a career of this, but he looks at each one of us--his clients--as the true measure of his success. When we discover one little new thing we can do, or something we've lost or gained, he is over the moon. I've never met a trainer who had so much invested in every aspect of the people he works with. And add to all of that, I've had fun (gasp!) working out at UFL, and I constantly feel inspired by his passion and challenged by the exercise. I wouldn't trade that for anything.

When I first started at Project MOVE, I was the heaviest I'd ever been. Lots of travel, stress, and…read morecompeting demands over many years had resulted in my weight slowly creeping up and my health gradually sinking down. I wasn't managing my responsibilities or priorities well. Then I responded to an ad promoting the 6-week challenge, and I forced myself to turn my life upside down. I believe that our health and bodies require stewardship, just like any other aspect of our lives. If you believe in God like I do, then maybe you can agree with me that he didn't give us bodies so that we could trash them. His plan for our best life doesn't include poor health, aching muscles, misaligned joints, and everyday pain. I think that instead he wants us to live in the fullness of health. Our bodies are supposed to be strong and reliable, so they can support us in living. That might have been what I believe, but I wasn't living it. I had let my health fall lower and lower in my list of priorities, and it was starting to show. So when I started my 6-week challenge, I really had to realign my priorities. I had to adjust my bedtime and alarm clock to make time to hit the gym before work; I had to start saying "no" to friends when they wanted to do things like drink beer and hang out at bars; I had to stop making indulgent decisions in the grocery store; I had to make time every week for meal prep so I wouldn't be forced to order takeout due to laziness and lack of planning. All those changes made a big difference, and the challenge forced me to implement them all at once. I lost 14 pounds and 4.5% body fat in 7 weeks. When you consider that I only had about 25 pounds to lose to begin with, you can understand that this was a huge accomplishment. I haven't fully arrived at my fitness goals yet, but I know that Project MOVE will get me there. What makes this gym different from all the other places I've tried is the personalized connection that you have with your coaches. I'm not an extroverted person, but I felt immediately connected as soon as I started attending classes. The staff cares a great deal and they are invested in your success. They even text you to check on how you're doing and will answer occasional questions via text, even if they're outside normal work hours. If the gym has one area that could use some improvement, it's the accessibility of the coaches. Coaches here are way more involved than other gyms I've been to, but it's still really hard to schedule a meeting with certain individuals because they are stretched so thin. That said, they are doing a great job when they *are* available. When they're there and working, they're giving it 100%. The quality of programming in the group classes is SUPER high. There's a great variety of programs to choose from, including yoga, weight lifting, cross-fit, endurance training, etc. I've been limited by my availability (I mostly pick my classes based on what fits into my schedule, not which programs interest me), but there's enough variety of classes at different times that I've been able to sample about 5 different programs so far, and that's less than half of the options. What really made the difference for me was the nutrition coaching. After years of listening to the current food "science" and nutrition recommendations that float around in the news and social media, I really didn't have any idea what I was supposed to be eating. My first 6 weeks at Project MOVE came with a personalized meal plan, complete with specific foods to eat and proper portion sizes. I started shedding weight immediately from the change in diet alone! There's only about 10 different foods to eat in each macronutrient category (protein, fat, carbs, and vegetables), which some people find limiting. I really loved it, however, because having fewer options facilitates easier decision-making. Even though the 6-week challenge is over, I plan to continue going to Project MOVE. It's not convenient and it didn't fit neatly into my lifestyle. But now that I've turned my life upside down to make room for it, I don't want to go back to what I was doing before.

I've been loving all of my small group and zoom classes here!…read more Brian and Danielle have been great instructors on all of the equipment (I've taken classes on reformer, tower and chair), and I've gotten to try out so many new movements with them. As someone who has previous pilates experience, it's so refreshing to come to a studio where the teachers actually value and teach good form, while making sure you get a good workout and follow social distancing (masks on, everything's disinfected, windows open, etc.). At the same time, there's a great balance for beginners to get comfortable with the movements and equipment, since classes are so small. I brought a friend to her first equipment class a few weeks ago and she had a great time, too. Over zoom, I've had a blast with Dana and Brian. I wasn't really a fan of mat pilates classes before, but they've both taught me new equipment-free exercises and exercises with resistance bands that have helped me stay strong at home.
