I was a coach for this gym for 2 years. It used to be an amazing and inspiring place to be and I loved coaching and participating in classes. After the change in new ownership and being harassed, I strongly suggest that no one trains here. I am worried for the safety of the community

If you’re looking for a fun and challenging workout or if you want to learn new skills, this is your place! The atmosphere is fun, friendly and super welcoming. Talented instructors and unique classes to keep things challenging and interesting. Highly recommend!

I cant say enough great things about Awaken!! Their staff is super welcoming and friendly. Their classes are different and challenging in all the right ways. The other gym members are sociable and neighborly. And the gym facility itself has everything youd need. Id recommend this gym to anyone in Denver whos looking for not only a great way to get in shape, but a great experience.

A very inspiring place to break a sweat!

This place is amazing, I love all the body weight training and techniques they use! Ive been a personal trainer for the last 5+ years in private gyms (mainly weight training) but this place has made me stronger and more flexible than ever before. Ive only been going here for about 2 months and I already feel a huge difference. All the trainers are awesome and everyone here is so nice and welcoming. The classes are always different and keep you interested. This place is an awesome addition to other exercise routines or on its own!

This is an amazing place to train! The instructors are very high quality, the classes are challenging, and the people are friendly. Taking classes here is going to get you in shape. It is the perfect compliment for any sport as your are going to gain transferable strength, functional flexibility, and athleticism. I visited this gym for a week while visiting Denver and I had a blast. Im already planning my next trip back! I highly recommend you check it out if you have a chance.

Great program for adults to get into gymnastics, strength and fitness. Many of us participate in the sport for a short period of time as children but there are very few opportunities for adults to learn the fundamentals of strength, flexibility and fitness related to the sport. Awaken does a great job at fostering an inclusive atmosphere for beginners and advanced students alike and successfully brings gymnastics fitness to adults who may not have participated in the sport. These methods and techniques have been available and taught for decades to younger gymnasts and elite athletes and Awaken brings it to you in a manageable form you can use to improve your athletic ability, hit a fitness goal youve had for years, learn how to do a handstand or work on your flexibility. The coaches and students are very positive and encouraging making it feel more like youre working with a team than working out by yourself. Coming from a former gymnast and current coach this is one of the only gymnastics related programs I know of that focuses on adults. I highly recommend everyone try it out for the experience, you may find you like it and return for more!

Cant thank the staff at Awaken enough for a truly unbelievable week. No words can capture the joy of spending time with such a talented and passionate group of athletes. With no prior gymnastic experience, and after following Awaken on IG for almost a year, I had to make the pilgrimage to Denver. I was inspired to check out the facilities first-hand and have the teachers make adjustments to my form as necessary.Emailing with Tanya was a pleasure, as she was patient, kind and willing to answer all my questions prior to arrival. I booked a weeks worth of traveler classes and had the pleasure of learning from Tanya, Elyssa, and Katie during my time in Denver.My goal was to participate in all of the beginner level classes, building a solid foundation for strength and mobility. The instructors and the entire class seem to foster an environment of great energy. This, combined with the the technical skill of the instructors, allowed a beginner like myself to thrive. I experienced an exhilaration I cannot recall ever having felt before.To the staff, a sincere thank you from the bottom of my heart. I cant wait to get back to Denver in a few months and spend more time in the company of the great people at Awaken!

I flew from East Tennessee to train at Awaken with the week-long Travelers Pass. When friends and family asked why I would travel across the country to train at a gym, I told them that it was not just any gym. Awaken utilizes the most comprehensive and intelligent exercise programming Ive ever seen.This is strength training with a purpose far beyond getting strong. This is training to improve every aspect of life through developing not only strength, but also flexibility and mobility. After all, what good is strength if you cannot use it, or you can only use it in very limited ways?The environment is fun and encouraging--everyone in the group classes is helpful, and there is even a sense of being part of a team during the class. There are a wide variety of classes for different skill levels, and the classes themselves are always different and never boring--ensuring that the body is always challenged so you can make progress and not stagnate.The instructors are educated in bio-mechanics, and are interested in making sure that you are performing the exercises correctly in order to avoid injury and maximize the use of your time. They were always glad and enthusiastic to answer my questions.I’m already planning a trip back to Awaken Gymnastics Strength Training, where I suggest you go as soon as you have the opportunity! Whether you live near or far, you will benefit from your time at Awaken. I learned enough in my week there to have things to work on for months until I am able to return again.

I love awaken so much! Their team is very knowledgeable and friendly, everyone is so welcoming, and the classes are well designed. I noticed a change in my strength, flexibility and body awareness after my very first class. Joining the awaken community has been one of the best steps Ive ever taken for my commitment to self care.

I lived in the Denver area for a little over a year and worked out at Awaken for about 6 months. My only regret is not going sooner. I was blown away by how welcoming of an atmosphere they have created. One thing that keeps people form going to gyms is a fear of being judged. As soon as I walked through the door I realized I was has nothing to worry about. No matter the skill level everyone is welcome and pushed to do their best. Working out in this way took away all the pain I had in my knees, low back, shoulders, and hips. It is the number one thing I miss most about living in the Denver area. Coming from a traditional weightlifting background I wasnt sure what to expect, but I can honestly say my fitness level was at an all time best and I was never in pain while I worked out there. All of the trainers push you to do your best and make sure you are doing the exercises correctly. I tell anyone who will listen how incredible this gym is.

Everyone at awaken is great! Prepared to help you out no matter your level of flexibility, strength, or coordination. I would recommend this place for everyone of every background, because what is better than handstands! While I have been at awaken I have seen and felt an increase in my ability to perform a lot of the exercises and movements. The affable staff and manager (Tanya) coach with a superlative skill and knowledge base.

I had an amazing experience at Awaken! The staff is all very supportive and takes the time to get to know you. The classes are fun, no matter what fitness level you are at. I met so many amazing people through Awaken. I would recommend Awaken to anyone wanting something new in their fitness routine.

I spent a week training at Awaken (foundation travelers package), and had a fantastic experience. The staff at Awaken are all very knowledgeable, very friendly, and great at working with trainees. The rest of the community at Awaken was great as well, and made for good training partners. The hands on corrections I received from the coaches were extremely valuable, and helped me eliminate bad habits as well as further solidify the good habits that I already had. I also found the partner to work to be very valuable, both for improving my own technique, and learning what to look for in others. This has really helped accelerate my progress, and Im very excited to utilize all of the things I learned while at Awaken. The classes are structured very well, and each coach puts a lot of thought into the class(es) that they teach. This makes training more efficient and leads to better results for everyone. There is a great atmosphere which is incredibly motivating, and I thoroughly enjoyed every class that I attended. Awaken is an excellent gym, and the value of training there cannot be overstated - I highly recommend attending their classes.

I wish they had copies of Awaken Denver in every city and town. As an avid fan and practitioner of Gymnastics Strength Training, the quality of instruction and genuine care I received in my short visit sold me immediately on what an amazing gym this is. I hope to one day live in Denver, so I can train every day here :)

I was told about Awaken by a friend of mine who couldnt stop raving about it. Im glad he did because it is easily one of my most favorite gyms ever! In fact, its not really a gym--its more like a family that works out together. The instructors take the time to get to know each and every student, are always in a positive mood, and you always feel welcome coming in there. Their positive energies and go-getter attitudes are infectious and really get you motivated to do your best! In terms of the actual workouts, they also have classes that fit people of all different fitness levels. However, that is not to say the classes are easy. I came crawling out of class each and every time I went, aching in places I never knew could ache, but I quickly came to be in the best shape I had been in a long while. I would recommend taking the flexibility and handstand classes! Definitely a ton of fun :) Highly recommend!!

I have tried many sports, fitness classes, and athletic training methods before trying gymnastic strength training at Awaken and the only regret I have is not starting sooner. The atmosphere and energy created by the staff and members is refreshingly positive and supportive. I cant emphasize enough that everyone is welcome! No matter your experience level, fitness level, shape, or size, you will be welcome at Awaken. The coaches are incredibly kind and personable while still maintaining high expectations for their students. The classes are rigorous and challenging but modifications are always available.Before Awaken I found myself training in a negative environment, with poor programming/curriculum, and coaches that wouldnt help me reach my goals. When I began training at Awaken the coaches asked me about my goals, assessed my abilities, and provided me with a suggested plan to reach those goals. After only a month I was already seeing great improvements in my strength and physical abilities! Unfortunately I have now moved out of the state and dont have a Gymnastic Bodies Affiliate nearby, but I will definitely continue my training with their online classes! If you have fitness goals that you arent sure how to meet or just need a fun way to be active you must try a class at Awaken!!

I had a trade agreement that included cleaning windows in exchange for a membership. I contacted my manager saying I would not be coming in because I moved and needed to focus on work. upon returning to visit after several months of not training at the facility, I was aggressively asked to leave with threat of having the cops called on me due to some sort of wild misunderstanding with the owner. needless to say, I’m pretty disappointed because I loved the people and the bonds I created as a result of training there. would it be considered sharing an opinion or asserting a fact If I commented further? we’ll just leave it at.

Thank you Awaken for continuously providing high quality classes. I appreciate that exercises are provided with variations based on skill level and that you emphasize how to properly care for our bodies/ muscles. I have no prior gymnastics background but found these classes to be incredibly relevant. These classes enhanced my abilities in other activities & provided workouts that conditioned my entire body. I always know I will be challenged, encouraged, & be in a friendly/welcoming group when I come to class. Thank you!

As an athlete growing up, Ive always been focused on power. Now as a 41 year old, Im realizing the critical importance of mobility. Awaken has been instrumental for me in this journey, and the instructors are incredible! Its fun, too; case in point: I can now hold a handstand without a wall for 10 seconds! :)

Ive been a member of the Awaken community for over 2 years now, and most recently I introduced my out of town friend to its unique training experience. She absolutely loved Foundations with Tanya, and was so surprised to learn how using her own body weight can be more intense than the weight training classes she currently participates in. I enjoyed sharing the experience with her because it was so new, and shes always been one to worry about bulking up -- she has since shifted her perspective on how effective strength training is in helping her maintain her physique, especially at the young age of 40 and being the mother of two young boys. She said, Tanya and the whole class made me feel so comfortable as a first timer, and I cant wait to come back the next time Im in Denver.

I used to love going to Awaken. The staff used to be so friendly and helpful. Over the last year, half if not all of the staff have left and gone to other gyms or other places to work. The staff is very small and limited now. I have witnessed some unpleasant situations at Awaken which do not make me feel comfortable. I have heard others express the same statements. I have heard of inappropriate behavior and touching.

Ive attended Awaken for the last 6 months and the environment has been the most positive, motivating, professional workout space Ive ever experienced. Id been wanting to work out at Awaken ever since it opened and was really glad I made the plunge. All the staff remember your first name (a little bit scary how good they are at that!) and it is obvious they truly care about members not just as clients but as people. Not only that but I ended up making some good friends/soccer buddies through workouts, which is great for anyone wanting to build their sense of community. Awaken is really a family!

I have always been an active person. After college, I tried various fitness classes but none kept my interest. I drove by Awaken many times and finally got the courage to sign up for a class. I spoke with Tanya to set up my first class and she made the process super easy! I fell in love with Awaken during my first class! The staff is wonderful and the classes are fun, challenging, and unique!Awaken helps each individual achieve their goal while promoting team work. The staff there is caring, kind, and knowledgeable. They treat all like family! I am so glad I have been a part of it and look forward to taking classes in the future!

Great gym, kind instructors and supportive participants. All levels welcome. More than learning amazing feats, they focus on developing range of motion and strength. So good for your body!

Awaken has helped me gain upper body strength I did not think was possible. The instructors are wonderful and motivate you to do your best without barking at you like some gyms. I also love that they do partner work and stretches, I believe this allows to push more than you could on your own. Everyone has been kind and welcoming and couldnt ask for a better place to train.

2 months in and loving it!The community here has a proven culture that is inviting, inspiring and motivating.The classes are challenging, always evolving, and fun.The instructors make time in and outside of class to give me the attention I need to reach my goals.HIGHLY RECOMMEND AWAKEN

I love this place. Never reviewed a gym before, but after coming here for almost six months Ive never felt better. Best, most welcoming instructors, great programming and couldnt be happier with my experience. If you want to get stronger, healthier and feel better, check this place out!

I love this place so much! My only complaint is their flooring... Its this basic carpet thats mopped up the sweat of hundreds of gym-goers daily! It gives off quite the musty scent. I come home after every workout worried about ringworm or staph infections.Great gym, just please get some new flooring 😬

As an ex-gymnast, I could not have been happier when I found awaken gymnastics. The coaches take you through all of the strength training and flexibility exercises that I used to do as a competitive gymnast. In just a month, I couldnt believe how much stronger I had gotten. This is truly the best gym that Denver has to offer!

Awaken is more than just a gym, it is a growing and welcoming family. They have passionate, experienced, encouraging and challenging instructors that offer a different kind of training and support. They are committed to helping you and providing you with the best workout experience not only in Denver, but the world.

I love this place! The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, the classes are fun and challenging! Before you know it the hour is gone. I travel from Arvada and find it totally worth it! Lose the hesitation and sign up already!

Ive been a member at Awaken for almost a year, but I fell in love with it after my first class. Its such a great gym with wonderful instructors and a very impressive training ideology. Awaken helps you strengthen every part of the body (trust me you will feel it) while increasing mobility/flexibility. This allows for a much more balanced, fit body. The instructs also do a great job at explaining what you are doing and why you are doing it. The classes are fun and youre sure to get up close an personal with new people. Cant recommend this place highly enough.

I tried my first flexibility class last week at Awaken and I could not have been more impressed! I am not incredibly fitness inclined but Grace, the instructor, kept a steady pace and explained everything step by step. When I was struggling with one of the stretch Seth, another staff member, came over to me to assist me into an adaptation of the stretch.Could not have asked for more. One of the best gym experiences in Denver. I will gladly attended in the future.

Awaken is so much more than just a gym! It’s unlike any fitness studio, club, team, or community I’ve ever belonged to. It’s a network of people who are unstoppably after their best selves. It’s a family who will push you passed your limits because they know you’re capable of more than you’d ever imagine. It’s a place where everyone’s got your back — often literally. The energy and love that I felt when walking into my first class has been unmatched. It’s sometimes intimidating to walk into a gym filled with dozens of new people, having no idea what to do or expect. When you walk into a place like Awaken, you feel empowered and supported to jump in with both feet…or both hands. You very quickly get out of your comfort zone and are in a place where others foster and encourage your excitement to do so. Whether it’s getting upside for the first time or deep partner stretching with a stranger, you’ll shatter social boundaries designed to keep us so distant. You’ll make friends in an instant, in a place where “surface level” doesn’t seem to exist.As a gymnast growing up and coach as an adult, I thought I had been through the gamut of teaching styles and training programs. Awaken proved that wrong in a heartbeat. I was (and still am) in awe of the knowledge and expertise each instructor brings to their classes. Awaken puts strength training, mobility and flexibility into perfect harmony for every student, at every level. The instructors have an effortless ability to guide you through each stretch, skill and progression with perfect articulation as to WHY you’re doing what you’re doing. You’ll learn a lot about your body. You’ll engage, strengthen and mobilize even the tiniest, most forgotten and hidden muscles. You’ll try new things, you’ll overpower your fears, you’ll laugh at yourself and you’ll impress yourself. You’ll trust others to support you and you’ll be pushed to communicate your needs when being stretched or spotted by a partner. You’ll gain self-awareness and practice your ability to articulate it. You’ll learn you’re unstoppable, if you didn’t know it already.Awaken has impacted my life more than I ever thought a “ gym” could. It turned Denver into my home and my training here has become a metaphor (or ten) for my life. The moment I walked through their doors I knew I had found my people and only wished I had found them sooner. This place is one of a kind.

I think a lot of people are worried about coming here because theyve never done gymnastics before. DONT WORRY. Youll do fine. The teachers are really serious about meeting you where you are, even if its your first time in a gym. No gymnastics experience required. In fact, a huge majority of the students at Awaken have never done gymnastics a day in their life before they started here.Denver is so lucky to have this place! Its the original and they really know what theyre doing. Im a firefighter so fitness is pretty important to me. Being out of shape can kill me, literally. I dont trust my workouts to just anyone.The workouts at Awaken are tough, but theyre safe. Every day is different so you dont get bored. Plus, you get to play on things like the rings and bars.The best part is the people, especially the other students. Everybody is learning together so theres a lot of support. Not a class goes by without the students clapping for someone (usually the recipient is a new person crossing their first personal hurdle). Every round of exercise is filled with cheers gentle coaching from the teachers and fellow students. The workouts are tough but if you show up, you pretty much cant fail.Oh, and dont be intimidated by the ripped folks int he pictures... the place is filled with all kinds of people and fitness levels. They will get you to that hard body if you want, though.

The people, the workout, and the design of their program is top notch. I fly in every couple of months to train as much as I can over a few days. It takes my training that I do back home to a new level every time.

Awaken is an excellent, world-class facility with highly skilled instructors, great classes, and wonderful people all around. It’s really hard to find any fault with anything at Awaken because the systems in place are so well thought out.For instance, I am taking a Handstand Basics class, but I find that the instructor’s teaching style doesn’t align with my own learning style. The same class will be offered during the week with an instructor who teaches it in a different manner and I will get the same information.The only suggestion that comes to mind is that the Handstand classes be tapped out at 10-12 people because it is such an essential skill that points out a student’s strengths and weaknesses in terms of body awareness. However it is emphasized so much in other classes that there is no way that a smart, hard working, and disciplined student cannot learn it.Much like the Gymnastic Bodies Foundation program, a student will get out of Awaken what he or she puts into it. If someone just wants a great workout, it is easily obtainable. If someone wants to do a Side Lever, it is obtainable as well. (However there might be some more work and time involved!)

No experience necessary! Ive never trained in gymnastics before, joined Awaken a year ago, and I promise there is something for everyone! Im moving away and so sad to leave Awaken, this gym is a community. All levels welcomed and encouraged. Try it out!

Great place and people. My home away from home while living in Denver for the last six months. If youre interested in gymnastics strength training this is the place to be.

Absolutely the best gym experience I have ever had!! The staff are welcoming and very knowledgable. The classes are intense but are completely scalable so anyone at any fitness level can participate and get a great workout. Highly recommend it!!

This is my favorite gym I have ever been too. The classes are challenging, the staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and the community is fun. I have been an athlete for over a decade, and the results I have seen after a month of working out with Awaken are some of the most dramatic I have experienced

Coming to Awaken was one of the biggest positive experiences of my life. In the gym I felt like home since the first day, loved the community there. People are very friendly and trainers really do care about you. They know what they are doing. You have so many different classes you can take, so theres something for everybody from beginner to advance gymnastics level. Programming of classes is very smartly design and every exercise is there for a reason. I traveled all the way from Slovenia to train in Awaken and I will definetely come back again! I will miss you all, thanks for everything!

Awaken is a welcoming, friendly place with highly qualified instructors. After 20 years as a yogi, I had become bored with vinyasa and had found my body was not strong enough. At Awaken they offer the perfect balance between strength and flexibility and it is never boring! The instructors arent high pressure but are encouraging. Highly recommend.

If you like gymnastics strength type of training, visiting Awaken gymnastics gym in Denver, Colorado is a must do! I came all the way from Slovenia (Europe) to train in Awaken and it was an amazing experience. I gained so much new knowledge, that will help me improve quality of my training and of my coaching clients. On top of that I met tons of new friends, coaches in gym know what they are doing, they are very knowledgeble and very friendly. I would like to thank each and everyone off you! Hopefully I will manage to come again next year! Awaken is the best gym for adults gymnastics! THANK YOUP.S.Colorado is a beautiful place, worth visiting!

As a competitive athlete and dancer for 30 years I will whole heartedly say nothing comes close to the training and inspiration I receive at Awaken! From the professionalisms, knowledge and motivation from the coaches....to the strength, flexibility and intensity of the workouts, I always feel an improvement in my body and workouts in every arena in my life! It is hands down one of the hardest and most effective training regimens I have ever approached.

I cant express enough how great this gym and the team are. Coach Orench is dedicated to every person in there, no matter the level. The entire team is there to make sure you get the best possible workout, while staying safe, pushing your limits, and helping you reach your goals. I honestly cant express how grateful I am that I joined this gym to help me recover from my back surgeries.If you are coming off injuries, need to really shake up your routine, or want a place where the people are amazing, then this is the place you need to check out.

Awaken was intense, fun and one of the best workouts Ive had in a long time! If youre looking for a challenging workout but are bored with traditional gyms and workouts then youll love it! I cant say enough about the staff. Everyone is supportive and patient.

I have found healing and rehabilitation of old injuries, through Awakens program, as well as a new configured foundation to develop upon, which has made me, in many ways, stronger than Ive ever been, even as an all-star athlete in earlier years -- and I still find myself at higher levels of strength, continually.The program at Awaken helps me reach and exceed milestones (surpassing previous limitations), about every 6 weeks. Likewise, the program continually develops upon itself, yet it is set in a most profound, proven, unique core philosophy.I love the training! Great classes! Great teachers! Great students, personalities, souls. Awaken is not my home away from home; Awaken is my home.

I haven’t been interested in joining a gym because toiling with heavy, impersonal machinery doesn’t seem like a good time to me. I figure if I’m going to be nourishing my body by working out, why not nourish my mind and spirit at the same time?—they’re all connected, anyways. In other words, if I’m going to be working out, why not make the entire experience enjoyable?I found Awaken Gymnastics online and it immediately caught my attention because I’ve always wanted to learn gymnastics and figured it would be a great way to stretch and strengthen all at the same time. After just a week of classes, I decided to invest in a membership. This place offers a variety of classes, and every single class has left my body feeling opened, grounded, and strong, and my spirit feeling connected to a community that is genuinely supportive. The gymnastics element challenges my natural comfort level, which adds to a feeling of satisfaction after trying on intimidating movements in class. Yes, I can stand on my hands and do cartwheels and tricky things that I used to fearfully refrain from. Just ‘cause I’m an ‘adult’ doesn’t mean that I shouldn’t play and be curious. And that is what we do at Awaken— we play, we grow stronger and we find new outlets of physical capacities. And we do it together.We do a lot of partner work which I so appreciate. While supporting a partner, it offers me an opportunity to see and understand movement in a new way that then translates into my own embodied knowledge. The partner work adds to the community-oriented aspect of the gym, and life is so much better when shared with others;) I am just so grateful for finding this place. Thanks to the staff and to all the people who train at this spot—working out has never been so much fun. ‘Awaken’ is exactly what this place does and man! does it feel good to be moving and grooving!

Coming to Awaken has been very rewarding and challenging. This by far is the best gym Ive even been too. We work hard and have fun!!! Thank-You Awaken for all the support and guidance.

For the past 7 years I have struggled greatly with flexibility. Along with a lack in flexibility, I have had numerous reoccurring injuries from 14 years of competitive soccer, parkour, strength training, and martial arts. I tried getting into yoga but felt it was one-dimensional and didn’t involve enough dynamic movement for my taste. Within 10 minutes of my first class at Awaken I knew I would be joining the gym. I felt engagement and movement in my hips that I hadn’t felt in years. It was an immediate “AHA” moment. What makes Awaken a step above any other gym is without question the sophistication of the exercise routines/classes and the knowledge of the instructors. You won’t just hear words of encouragement, but more importantly specific and direct feedback on form so that you are properly engaging every muscle. Awaken has made me that annoying friend that won’t shut up about his passions, and Awaken has become that passion. I would not only recommend this gym to any aspiring athlete looking to improve their movement, strength, and flexibility but to every human who seeks a future of physical freedom. I have beaten my body up for years with soccer, parkour, martial arts, and Awaken is now centering me back to the basics; flexibility, proper form, and strength that I will carry into any future physical endeavor. It’s also worth noting every trainer/student in this gym is incredibly welcoming and nice which only adds to the positive experience I have had here!

Knowledgeable staff and friendly, humble patrons. People of all skill levels welcome, and regular attendance will have you surprising yourself with things you never thought you could do!

Awaken is one of the most, if not the most, awesome gyms Ive ever attended. I had scoped out best gyms in Denver before moving here, and Awaken was at the top of the list, so I had to try it out. I always wanted to do gymnastics, but I had scoliosis surgery about 10 years ago, therefore I will always have 2 metal rods and 19 metal pins in my spine, making the idea of gymnastics seem impossible. I have been at Awaken for about a year now and I couldnt be happier not just with the training, but with the community as well. Everyone is so helpful and supportive no matter what level of athleticism you are at and I come out of every class feeling great knowing that I pushed and challenged myself. Awaken has also helped me through my fear of being upside down, and I was even able to transfer a lot of skills and confidence i had developed in Awaken to my weightlifting, skiing, and rock-climbing. Really fabulous gym!

I absolutely ADORE this gym. I was a gymnast for a decade and a half as a kid and have always struggled as an adult to find exercise that engaged me the way gymnastics did, and Awaken was the answer! My first two classes were Flexibility and Handstand Conditioning (my favorite class!!! taught by Elyssa), and I was hooked immediately. The classes built on the skills I had worked so hard on years ago and made them possible for my now-adult body. The folks at Awaken work so hard to make the classes accessible to people of many different levels of fitness, and always offer variations of skills to adapt to someones individual needs. All of the coaches make a point to know the people in their classes, and I was always impressed that they remembered not only my face but my name. Tanya, the gyms manager, is a gem - I would go out of my way to her early Wednesday morning Flexibility class, and I am not a morning person! Truly a 5-star gym, 10/10 would recommend!!!

I have trained at Awaken for nearly 2 years now and have gained immense strength, flexibility and body awareness. I went from zero to handstand in 1.5 years and loved the journey! If youre looking to commit your workouts to a fun and supportive space, this is the one!

Awaken is a brilliant idea, made into a beautiful reality by a great passion and drive to help others and succeed!I had a great time training here in the summer, lovely staff, great classes that are well planned and prompt and the students and community feel is fantastic. Ill be visiting again from the UK

If you are anything like me you get bored of the same old workout week after week. At Awaken, I havent hit this problem as they offer such a great variety of classes. Ive had the opportunity to refine my fitness in ways I never have by personalizing my schedule to meet my goals. Also, its clear the trainers are experienced and love what they do, which can make such a big difference in a workout. I highly recommend this gym!

Very fun and very challenging workouts. The staff are all very helpful, knowledgeable, and just plain awesome. Love this place!

I have found Awaken Gymnastics to be a wonderful gym. I have really enjoyed training in their different classes. I do Martial Arts and Gymnastics, and I have found their classes to be very helpful. I hope to be apart of them in the future in some capacity.

Great place to train. Excellent staff. Has been part of a wonderful personal journey of improving physically.

I’ve never really enjoyed training in a gym, but I’ve always needed to train at one for an assortment of different reasons, whether that be work, stress relief, or simply overall health maintenance. Gyms are often just way too isolating and boring, but Awaken doesn’t fall into any of those categories.The community at Awaken, (yes you read that right), is what sets it apart from my other gym experiences. The people who attend Awaken actually speak to each other and form relationships and friendships. People know you by your name and you know them. It makes the “work” of going to the gym, a whole lot more tolerable, and dare I say even enjoyable.And the workouts are anything but boring and mundane. They are constantly evolving and pushing you, while at the same time strengthening you from the inside out. And if that isn’t enough, the work at Awaken is always quite healing. I came to Awaken at a time when I was dealing some minor injuries and both the Shoulder Prehab and Hip Prehab classes helped me move beyond what was ailing me.I don’t take the time to write reviews for just any place. So, I strongly encourage you to check out all that Awaken has to offer.

Love this place! Amazing training. Trainers are always friendly, yet challenge me every time I go in! Highly recommended!

Challenging as all get oot, and learned a lot!

I bought a 5-pack last Spring to try Awaken. I immediately fell in love with the training, the variety of classes, not wearing shoes while working out (its the little things) and the fact that all the instructors know every single persons name. Once my starter pack was up, I couldnt convince myself to sign a year long contract, both for financial reasons and the fact I dont normally work out and have never committed to any physical activity....ever.Fast forward six months & I found myself back at Awaken. After thinking how much I had enjoyed it while it lasted, I decided to go back and see if I would still enjoy it. Thank goodness I did! I am in LOVE. I have been going about 6x a week for the past 3 months. I cant believe how much more energy Ive had since going. It was the first benefit I noticed and continue to appreciate daily.When I went to my first foundations class,I couldnt do anything. At all. I could not even walk up the wall and hold a handstand. I couldnt even do simple stretches-because my body had never moved like that before and because I had no idea what certain terms meant. Normally, I would have ran for the door and never looked back. But ALL of the instructors at Awaken help everyone get through everything. It doesnt matter if its a weekday morning class with 4 people in it or a Saturday class with 30 people. Modifications are demonstrated and individual help & corrections are given. Questions are always welcome and willingly answered.Aside from the staff being so helpful & welcoming, so are all of the members. People say hi when you walk in or even introduce themselves when you are waiting for class to start (much unlike lots of other gyms *coughcoughyoga). People around you also give you lots of helpful tips and corrections so you dont feel like youre constantly either doing it wrong or asking the instructor.And most importantly, Awaken definitely provides results. The amount of strength I have acquired in the past three months only makes me realize how incredible gymnastics strength training is. Orench & Crystal have perfected an art and I cant wait to continue learning it.

The value that I got from the travelers package (being a nonresident) 1 month of unlimited classes is truly priceless. Orench is such an incredible Coach, not only from his knowledge of GST but in his ability to communicate it to trainees, with a truly world class team of instructors. (That actively train and walk the walk always seeking out the newest and latest information) The hands on assistance and loads of partner work at Awaken helped me to correct little form errors and saved me valuable time channeling my efforts towards progress rather than creating bad habits trying to figure out things on my own. The training and information I got from Awaken has launched me forwards in my training towards my goals and has shown me new goals that I am eager to get after. The atmosphere is fun high energy and motivating, I highly recommend you stop in. -Loren

Awesome gym! The teachers and classes are great. I spent a weekend here and learned a whole lot and had a great time. The staff and the students are really helpful and friendly. Crystal and Orench are doing a great job with this gym :D

Awaken has changed my life. Since joining 8 months ago, the amazing owners and staff have helped me transform my fitness routine on weekly basis. The best part is each week I see progress and Im always challenged. The coaches and staff at Awaken couldnt be a better support system. They have become my primary outlet to release stress throughout a hectic work week. Most importantly, Awaken has taught me to be honest and open minded, about myself, as well as the people around me.The training is second to none. I had zero gymnastics experience when joining 8 months ago. I love that the training program is designed for that and you can start completely from scratch. I also love the focus on areas of my body that Ive never recognized as deficient or in need of improvement like shoulder and hip mobility, hand, finger, wrist and ankle strength, as well as back strength and mobility. You work out your fingers! I think thats so cool.The community at Awaken is second to none. The owners, Orench and Crystal, have been so kind to me. They are invested in my development as an athlete and a person, and Ive never experienced gym owners like that. You two are the best! The manager, Tanya, is my best bud at Awaken. Like she does with me, shell lift your spirit the second you walk into the studio. The coaches at Awaken are some of the most inspiring people Ive ever met. I have to thank all of the coaches for going that extra mile. Special thanks to Zach, Grace, Rebecca, Shin, Lamar, Conrad, Dakota & Amie. Each one of you has selflessly helped me develop into something I never thought I could become, and Im so grateful to have met you all.In short, Awaken rocks!!!

I came to Awaken when I moved to Denver and its been an amazing experience! I come from a rock climbing background and my shoulders are always sore, so the shoulder prehab class was really amazing, My shoulders have never felt better! The stretching techniques Ive learned have made me feel so much better all around. I also came to Awaken wanting to improve my handstands, something Ive been working on for months. Within the first few weeks my handstands went from a few wobbly seconds to 20+ stable seconds of good form! Couldnt be happier with the results. Thank you Awaken! :)

I commend Crystal and Orench for the work that they do to maintain such an incredible program and team at Awaken. Having been a Crossfit coach, I know what can happen to athletes when poor programming is given. During my year long back injury recovery I have tried many things but nothing has helped more than the programming and coaches at Awaken.For the first time in my adult life, I feel as if I am able to have play time while learning to build strength, flexibility and agility - and, most importantly, I leave every class with a smile on my face because I am just having so much fun.Despite three moves around CO in the past six months and having to suspend my membership, I have found my way back to Denver and Awaken and was welcomed back with open arms - something that holds more weight than the coaches can ever realize.Sometimes people are quick to only voice complaints, so I wanted to make absolutely sure that I voice my kudos and thanks.Awaken is fast becoming a family and I cannot wait to see what new things I get to try tomorrow!

Awaken is a great gym and I had an incredible experience there. Orench and Crystal are both very knowledgeable when it comes to gymnastics strength training and they work hard to make your experience the best it can possibly be.

I wanted to wait a full 3 months of working out here to review this gym, even though I knew how Id rate it after the first week. I came to this gym after years of yoga, general strength training, and some dabbling with aerial arts. I had hit a plateau in yoga and was looking for something to push me to the next level when I started here. I would say this gym has delivered so far. The 3 main reasons this gym is a class above all are1. It recognizes the importance of joint mobility and flexibility. This is something that martial artist, dancers, gymnasts, yogis and circus artists have known forever but has failed to enter the mainstream fitness world. After all, whats the point of strength without the range of motion to use it. Furthermore, I work with the elderly and newly disabled and see the importance of this everyday.2. They train with specific skills in mind, not just to look good in a bikini (although, that will happen as a nice side effect anyway). Learning to stick a hand stand or a side lever is just badass, not to mention inspiring and fun! Its like strength and mobility training with a purpose.3. They seek to target and correct the imbalances that develop in adults from our modern day lifestyles. Trust me. Im an occupational therapist that works with adults of all ages and sees what happens to our bodies over time. If you want to avoid or at least delay the hunchback, rounded shoulders, and overall poor posture that develops with age, or just ignoring mobility in your workout routine, come work out here!Aside from these 3 main reasons to come here, the staff are super friendly and inviting. Like other reviewers have said, dont be intimidated. People with all different body types work out here and most dont come with a gymnastics background. With all that said, 3 months in and Im sold and hooked.

I was drawn to Awaken because i wanted to do handstand pushups and backflips. Now i want to do a front lever, hand stand press, back hollow press, and so much more. This place is inspiring. Training here also got me through my first IronMan without injury. Two days after the race I was training again without pain. Best cross training tool Ive ever found. I love this place.Update 1/2/2020:I was a student for 1 year and a coach for 4 years. I recently resigned as coach due to some incidents that were mismanaged by the new ownership. I no longer suggest people train here.

Since the very first time I heard about “Awaken gymnastics” it had been a dream of mine to train their. Two years later with a wife who supports me in all my crazy endeavors our two children Aiden(2) & Althea(7m) I finally made it. My family and I moved from California to Denver for 3 months so that I could live out my dream of training at “Awaken” let’s just say 30lbs later this has been one of the best decision I could have ever made. From the moment that I stepped my foot through those doors I knew this gym was different I played competitive sports all the way up until I was 19 so I’ve been in my share of bad gyms. I honestly hesitate to even call “Awaken” a gym because their are simply to many people laughing, hugging, fist bumping, cheering each other on! They should seriously consider changing their name to “Ego less get togethers” lol. The reason the gym is like this is because it starts at the top with Orench & Crystal you couldn’t pick two better people to own “Awaken” then they went and hired the best gym manager in the world Tanya! Now she is just a little fire ball of joy & if you don’t want to be hit with some good vibes stay away from her lol. I could go on and on, but nothing I say can justify what this place is & was for me. You need to experience it for yourself so do what I did:1. Take an extended vacation from work or better yet just quit because your not going to want to leave.2. Pack up your family.3. Hit the road or air.4. And train at AWAKEN!!!!P.S. My wife has threatened to stay behind with the kids while I go back to California lol. That’s what “Awaken” does to you!!!! You have been warned....

There’s nothing like it!

I have tried Awaken about a year ago for the first time. They offer a great starter package deal, which is a pretty affordable way to try out a lot of their classes. I loved the place but it was a far drive for me, so I stopped going.When I moved to Denver at the end of the summer, I was looking for a place I could not only work out at, but also find support, community, friends and a great workout all in one place. Awaken became such a place for me!Having background in dancing, yoga, weight-training, and pole I found gymnastics to be extremely comprehensive: attention to muscle isolation, flexibility, pre-habilitation as well as rehabilitation of muscles.I also like that the coaches encourage de-loads. You cant be pushing your body non-stop, you have to take breaks and let it heal. It is the first gym I have been to that gets it while focusing on safe technique and personalized approach.After a month, I feel stronger, I feel happy with my choice and I would definitely recommend this place to anyone interested in an alternative to a regular workout - it is always fun, engaging and innovative.Awaken, you guys are doing an awesome job! Thank you!

Ive attempted to call this location as i was charged for something i did not consent to. I went to a class in Oct and it is now January 2018 and i am being charged again??? i keep calling and no answer. My experience here definitely has been tarnished by their neglect of ignoring my calls and voicemail in regards to this issue.

Awaken was the first place I came to train when I moved to Colorado. I was immediately impressed by the warmth of all staff members, the excellent training, and the personal attention from Coach Orench and every teacher I had the pleasure to take class from. I learned more in just a few classes at Awaken than I have from entire teacher trainings. I had just come back form a labrum tear in my left hip and the instructors were knowledgeable, respectful, and so encouraging.I can not recommend Awaken Gymnastics enough! My flexibility, coordination, and stamina all improved during my time with these guys!

Awaken is an absolute gem. Orench and Crystal have truly out done themselves and have created an amazing program for all levels of fitness.

Incredible training and great teachers in an awesome location. Awaken cannot be beaten !

Top-notch program, coaches and community! Cant recommend enough! Awaken provides a unique and valuable fitness experience for adults from all walks of life. As a student who has been with the gst program since Awaken opened, I have had the opportunity to see an incredibly diverse group of fellow students grow and progress. Be it business professionals, aerial and pole students, ex-athletes, current athletes or anything in-between, Awaken’s programming is able to offer benefit. With a thorough dedication to technique, the programing through Awaken and Gymnastics Bodies is able to offer content that is both accessible and rigorous - a feat that can be difficult to achieve. For the lucky students in the Denver area there is a team of knowledgeable staff to guide classes through workouts that are the perfect mix of strength and technique based exercises. You will leave sweaty and with new information about - handstand technique, for example - to mull over. There are also online classes available for students around the world to explore the world of gst! There is no other program available that is able to offer such deeply knowledgeable content, specifically designed to benefit a diverse group of adults. With so many progressions within the gst programing, students are able to find an appropriately challenging option for their fitness level.

Feels like physical therapy on steroids. Great!

Loved the experience there. The trainers are great and the facility is fabulous.

Friendly staff

As a business owner myself, I listen carefully to all customer complaints and make a swift, concerted effort to amend any problem. The leadership at Awaken not only disregards customer complaints, but is also a source of negativity.Awaken makes degrading, false accusations about other local gyms, in front of their own clients. Since this is highly unprofessional and unlawful, I privately contacted the owners Awaken in order to notify them of the problem. Over 1 month later, the owners continue to ignore my concerns and have made zero effort to resolve the issue.Additionally, Awaken regularly makes misleading and outlandish online marketing statements such as being the only gym in Denver that teaches acrobatics and movement classes. If you point out their bogus claims on their Facebook page, you will be censored and banned.I used to refer my friends and clients to Awaken but I simply can no longer recommend a place with such negative and ineffective leadership. I can reasonably conclude that these problems will, or already do, manifest in many other ways.

Fantastic training environment. I wish I could live here.

Good Service.

Great instructors and challenging workouts!

Was visiting from out of town and was directed here by our host. Did the beginner legs class with conrad which was a blast. In the gym daily, but discovered the day after this class how many muscles were not receiving enough attention as i felt this workout for days! Not local but if i were id be back!

Small place. Under staffed when I came, there was none

Best gym ever.

This place rocks.

Awesome fitness

Fantastic gym!
