This is, hands down, the best gym I have ever been to. I primarily do strongman training, and while the gym is not tailored for that, there are enough implements for me to practice for certain events I would see in competition. To add to this, Eric (the owner) is amenable to equipment suggestions to add to the gym, which is really great to hear. All of the other equipment is stellar, as well. There are a wide range of specialty bars, plate loaded machines, and other equipment that are in good condition and well maintained. The 24-hour access is another bonus to add. Finally, the environment the gym fosters is the best Ive experienced, too. Everyone is friendly, helpful, and supportive. Ive had bad experiences in other gyms since I used to deal with commercial and college gyms; I have yet to experience a moment like that here. I would 100% recommend anyone that does powerlifting, weightlifting or strongman to become a member at Elevate.

Elevate is one of the best facilities Ive ever trained at. Having spent years at college and commercial facilities, I can say without a doubt the atmosphere and equipment at Elevate are rivaled by few. The crew at Elevate (both trainers and fellow members) are incredibly friendly, supportive and helpful and bring a fantastic energy to the place. Couldnt recommend Elevate more highly!

I started lifting back In January and Eric wassuper welcoming! Everyone has been very supportive. I decided take my training to the next level and now work one on one with Natalie. Eric and Natalie made this process very smooth! This is such a judgement free zone and I love the community of lifters that go here. It’s a great place for new lifters to learn the ropes in a comfortable friendly environment.

I have nothing but positive things to say about this gym. It is clean. The equipment is top notch. The people are kind and supportive. I don’t think I would have stuck with my gym routine as much as I have were it not for the environment at Elevate. Let me explain…I started powerlifting back in March 2021. The pandemic hit me hard and I was in a space of really wanting to take control of my mental and physical health. I was NOT all that physically strong or confident in what I was doing when I started out. On top of that, gym spaces can be very intimidating and somewhat predatory at times.Elevate is not like that AT ALL! Everyone is incredibly welcoming (will actually greet you as you walk in) and supportive. If you ever need a spot, people are there for you. If you are trying a new or heavy lift, everyone will quite literally stop what they are doing to cheer you on (I’ve seen it happen. Multiple times. It’s really inspiring and empowering).The community here is great! When folks give me advice, it is obvious that they care and want to see me succeed. I still feel like a newbie, but I have always felt welcomed and accepted. I highly recommend this gym to anybody interested in lifting and looking for a good community to support you while ya do.

Elevate is a top-notch training facility for powerlifting. Not only does it have all the equipment you need to get strong; it is a positive, fun, and safe space to train. This is not a typical bro gym- this is a place with athletes of all levels who encourage each other and create a supportive community. Ive had the pleasure of competing here with programming by the owner, Eric. I couldnt recommend Elevate enough- Fort Collins is lucky to have such a great gym.

Traveling around the country, I’m always looking for gyms to train at. Elevate Barbell is easily the best one I’ve found while on the road. Their staff and gym members are welcoming, their equipment is in perfect condition and great for any type of fitness enthusiast, and their hours are great for any schedule. Highly recommend you check out Elevate if in Fort Collins!

Great facility and atmosphere. Working with Eric helped immensely in making my first powerlifting meet a success. This gym has a welcoming environment for everyone. Highly recommend.

Great facility for sport training, powerlifting, weightlifting, and bodybuilding. Elevate is equipped with all of the equipment and knowhow that a novice or seasoned athlete could possibly need. Inside youll find everyone from first day lifters to multiple time world champions. Everyone is welcoming. No elitism here.Eric and the team at Elevate Barbell are absolutely top notch. I highly recommend training here if you are a serious athlete looking to step up your strength and conditioning, they have something for everyone.

It difficult to put into words the profound experience this gym and community had had in my life over the last 1.5 years, but I will try.This gym, the community, and my coach (Eric) have helped me get my health and vitality back after having 2 young kids. I had always felt overwhelmed and confused with all the conflicting information in the fitness industry, but I did know that I wanted to become stronger, healthier, and improve my physique.In less than a year and a half of training, I recently deadlifted 540#, squatted 370#, and I will bench 250# soon. I did not have a strong gym background prior to joining this gym and for the working dad out there reading this, or the single mom, or the broke college student who finds solace in the gym; all are welcome. You will achieve more than you thought possible.The equipment is amazing, calibrated plates, Eleiko and Rogue everywhere, you name it. Any tool you need to become stronger resides in this gym for your training pleasure. And while that is great, you will also find world class (literally) strength athletes who are some of the kindest, thoughtful, nerds you could ever meet that simultaneously squat/deadlift #700+ and bench way more than 3 plates. You will have fun becoming strongest version of yourself with neat people.This gym, the community, and the coaches associated with The Strength Athlete will make you stronger, physically, mentally, emotionally, and relationally.Cannot recommend highly enough.

Great gym for people of all experience levels!! Super welcoming and supporting environment! Natalie is awesome to work with & always supportive :)

You wont find a more supportive gym community, better environment, or more knowledgeable staff/members than at Elevate. Great for powerlifting, CrossFit, Olympic lifting, strongman, bodybuilding, or just like going to the gym. If youre on the fence, do yourself a favor and schedule a visit to say hi. Youll be glad you did. Cant say enough good things.

Elevate is a wonderful gym that fosters mutual growth and respect across its diverse group of members. The facility is intelligently designed, the equipment is superior, and the community is so kind and knowledgeable.I started powerlifting in July of 2020, and at first, I was intimidated by all the crazy-strong people in Elevate, but then I met them and every inkling of intimidation transformed into inspiration--there are beasts in there lifting like 20 plates for their warm up, and those same people are the ones smiling, waving, and asking how youre doing when you come in.Elevate and its community has done so much for me and has gotten me to a place in powerlifting (and in the gym in general) that I never would have expected. Plus (in line with everything already stated) the owner, Eric, is also such a gem. 12/10 would recommend!

Good things don’t come cheap, but for serious lifters training the big three and Oly, this is a beautiful haven of calibrated plates and other delicious barbell hardware. A few torture cardio devices as well.

Joined for the powerlifting equipment and stayed for the community. Everyone is super supportive of each other and it makes for an uplifting atmosphere that you cant get anywhere else. Would highly recommend for anyone who does powerlifting or weightlifting. Also home to some great TSA coaches.

If you’re serious about getting stronger, this is the best gym in Colorado! Great environment with friendly people and awesome equipment.

Elevate Barbell is by far the best gym I have ever been to in my 10+ years of weight training. The equipment and space is above top notch, but what makes it unmatched is the community of powerlifters and weightlifters who make it pure magic. Eric the owners goes out of his way to make everyone who steps in the door feel included and also has created an atmosphere of respect, mutual encouragement, and growth. No where else have I been surrounded by humble elite lifters who are as happy to provide guidance as they are to sit on the sides and have a meaningful conversation about life. In this taxing and isolated year, Elevate has been an invaluable sanctuary to many.

If I could give this gym/training facility 100 stars out of 5, I would. Elevate Barbell is quite literally a world class, state of the art training facility for anyone interested in lifting weights, whether it’s for competing in strength sport or achieving general fitness goals. Eric, the owner, has gone above and beyond to ensure members of EB have everything they could possibly need and all equipment is in fantastic condition. Top all of that off with a friendly, inviting community and you will never even consider joining another gym. It’s hard to imagine Life Before Elevate Barbell anymore!

Amazing gym with top notch atmosphere, equipment, and is very clean.

Hands down the best gym in Fort Collins.

Awesome spot for Powerlifters or any barbell enthusiast.

Elevate barbell is the most professional multi-sport gym in the city.PowerliftingWeightliftingStrongman

Speaking from a Powerlifters point of view, Elevate exceeded my expectations. I was only passing through and needed a gym, but if I lived in or near Ft.Collins I would be a member without question. Thanks again Eric for your hospitality, see you next time

This is THE gym for any strength athlete. The best equipment available and a great atmosphere. Very friendly and knowledgeable people all around. Highly recommend!

Best gym by far in the area for powerlifting, weightlifting, bodybuilding, strongman

Fantastic gym for power lifting, weight lifting, body building and anyone looking to improve their strength and fitness level. Best equipment and coaches around. Home gym to world champion lifters!

Best gym in Colorado! I am blown away by the great equipment, good vibe and knowledgable staff/trainers. Just one session with Eric and I was able to transform my bench press for the better. This gym is clean, professional, high quality and second to none. Whether you are an experienced powerlifter or just wanting to learn from and train around the BEST to become a stronger, better athlete, I couldnt recommend a gym more. So grateful this is in Fort Collins!

By far the best gym and community that I’ve been a part of.

Best gym in Foco. Management is just as helpful as they are professional.

Good work gets done here! Stop by if you want to get workouts in with professionals, in a supportive exercise environment.

Without a doubt the best powerlifting gym I’ve trained at. 5000+ lbs of calibrated plates, 4 competition combo racks, and competition bars, Elevate truly is a powerlifters paradise.

I added 100lbs to my total just by showing up.

This is the best powerlifting gym in the entire state of Colorado, bar none.

I really enjoy training here. Any barbell athlete has the equipment, atmosphere, and people they need to have the perfect training environment. If you care about brands of equipment, theres four combo racks for powerlifting (two Eleiko and two custom), competition bars from Rogue and Eleiko, competition plates for both powerlifting and weightlifting, and enough of the best machines and free weights to make sure your training is exactly as it needs to be. Fort Collins is spoiled having a place like this!Before or after training, I love lounging upstairs on the oversized couches and getting some work done too

This is the gym fort Collins has needed for years.
