About a year and a half ago, after having three children followed by nearly two years of pandemic…read moreliving, I knew that I needed to change up my fitness and nutrition habits. After many, many search sessions, I kept coming back to Body by Emilee and finally took the plunge to set up my initial consultation. And now, I'd probably describe myself as a superfan of Emilee's. From the get-go, Emilee was really approachable, kind, and very easy to work with. We started with nutrition sessions, and while I was definitely not eating the most healthy diet, I never felt bad talking about my habits. Emilee's approach is a "sure and steady" way of looking at things. Instead of something drastic we were able to look at my habits and make small, consistent changes over the course of the past year that has served me really well. Plus, nothing is off-limits. Emilee believes in creating a sustainable lifestyle of nutrition and exercise. And I'm more of a "moderation in everything" kinda gal, so I couldn't handle someone telling me there'd be no more, oh, I don't know, fried chicken or champagne or cake. From there, I was also able to add personal strength training with Emilee two days a week. While the sessions are never easy, Emilee is always very mindful about how hard we are working and adjusting my weights or my exercises to have maximum impact on my goals. And working out with her is honestly just a ton of fun. Beyond the excellent coaching aspect, Emilee has built a solid community of women around her, both the folks she coaches as well as just the people she knows in the world. She hosts regular events for everyone who trains with her that span a wide variety of topics, everything from a session on learning to add meditation into your routine to a spin class. Every time I attend one of the events, I marvel at how much I genuinely like everyone that is there. For me, a number on the scale wasn't (and isn't) my ultimate goal, but I have lost nearly 30 pounds over the past year, and a half (all the Covid weight and most of the baby weight), but best of all is how strong and healthy I feel. My body feels really good, and I feel really good about my habits these days. Finding Body by Emilee was like finding a light at the end of the tunnel, and my sessions with her have been such a bright light in each of my weeks.

Emilee is a great partner and coach. She was an incredible addition to my health and wellness…read morejourney!  While I sought her out for some specific concerns (postpartum, overall health and wellness, etc.), she not only excelled in all of those areas, but I also consider her a key to my nutritional success. Spending time to talk about tailwinds and how to make small changes created a lot of change quickly for me. She checks in with you and creates a holistic plan catered to your needs. I can't recommend her enough!  I will continue to leverage her further as coach in the future, as her method is aligned to what works for me!

GOOD GYM, GOOD PEOPLE, AND HONEST. I have been a member of…read morethis gym for over 10 years. They were closed for a month recently for a remodel. I took the opportunity to explore another gym and I learned a lesson in what isn't good in the fitness business. 24-Hour Fitness allows me to pay for a year at a time, the associate took care to explain all costs up front, and what you see is what you get. The other gym I went to told me I would could pay for a basic $15/month membership up front for a year ($180) and the associate filled all the paperwork out for me. When the contract came by email I found they put me on a month-to-month contract, tacked on a hidden fee of $79 (not mentioned by the associate at all), and jacked the monthly rate up to $17.98 because I used a credit card. I'm so glad to be back at 24-Hour Fitness, and the new remodel is really great!

The heart monitor only works on 2 and on 1 of those the bottom half of the display, time, level, speed etc. doesn't work. They don't provide disinfectant wipes for the equipment. They have paper towels and a spray bottle of disinfectant spray at 2 locations on the main floor and 1 location upstairs. As a result most gym paitrens don't wipe down the equipment. One last thing, there are several people who slam the free weights, grunt and scream while working out. The staff does nothing about this.

They look like they're from the 1970s. I would be embarrassed to be the owner or an employee of this place. My anytime gym membership gives me access to multiple locations. I can confirm the gym I experienced this at is the Mayfair-Park Hill location at 6005 E Colfax Ave. **Update** I received a call from an employee named Hunter who shared this is the expectation for what a gym member will experience at this location. Hunter informed me the AC unit was on and running properly and stated unfortunately the AC does not have the capacity to keep the gym at cooler temperatures. His resolution was to come back during cooler months or "to go to a different gym" all together.

I have never stuck with consistent quality workouts for as long as I have with Upgym, and I'll tell…read moreyou why: it starts with the owner Tamba. Not only is he a quality individual you want to be around, he has mastered the art of tailoring workouts to your level and pushing you at the same time. This has been absolutely invaluable to my health for the last year and a half! Then there are the others who attend this gym. It's a great group of people of all types who fit into a supportive group. You can choose to join for the classes and/or get 1:1 training sessions. I go with the classes because its a great workout with good people. Everyone works at their own level but it's motivating to be part of a group trying to push themselves. This isn't a fancy gym. This is a gritty place full of kettlebells, tires, a ton of different equipment and space to move. Tamba and his trainer's workouts are unique and varied, targeting functional muscle movement. When you're done, you feel like you pushed yourself and the results follow. I recently read a study that found NOT exercising is actually worse than smoking. The truth is that Upgym is why I consistently have high quality workouts. I'm really grateful for it.
