I've tried almost all the boutique fitness studios in Boulder over the last couple years, and typically was a member of more than one because I couldn't find one studio that met all my needs. In fact, I'd often go back-to-back from a cardio class at one studio to a strength class at another in order to work my heart and build strength. Who has time for that??
While most of the studios in town emphasize cardio OR strength - or risk injury through high-impact exercises - PeaksFit integrates BOTH in a low-impact and approachable way (that said, be forewarned that you WILL be sore afterwards!). Because their workouts get your heart pumping through strength training, it's essentially like getting two workouts in one. Better yet, each day is a different style of evidenced-based focus - HIIT, plyo, resistance, strength, circuit, arms/abs, legs/glutes - you'll find it all here throughout the week rather than the same old style day after day.
Because the owners are your trainers, they are invested in the quality of each person's workout, with an emphasis not on maintenance but on gains (whatever that might mean for YOU). I am always so impressed and grateful for the fact that they are aware of any limitations I may have - such as injuries, or injury-prone areas. They know which weights I personally should use for any given exercise in order to be safe AND get stronger.
This is also a studio that has a sense of community and camaraderie. No egos, no competitiveness, no annoyed or burned-out instructors. So happy to FINALLY have a studio like this in Boulder! read more
