I have never considered myself to be especially athletic or strong, and I had never seriously lifted weights before, so walking into my intro with Jared in March of 2021 was a very intimidating experience. I am so glad I did though, because in just a few months I have achieved so much more than I thought possible.Amanda has been an amazing coach for a novice like me, but because our classes are full of mixed experience and ability lifters, I know she and the rest of the coaching staff are very skilled at helping you reach your goals, whether youre learning how to lift for the first time or getting ready for competition.Specifically in the evening classes, I have seen for myself how Amanda works so hard to create a positive atmosphere to work out in, personalizes programs to meet the needs of each individual member, challenges everyone to be their strongest self, and keeps us safe while doing so. I look forward to the days when I get to come in to lift because I know I will be around likeminded people who will challenge, push, and encourage me.For once in my life I am not obsessed with how my body looks, but instead how strong I can make it. This has brought me so much peace and I am forever thankful to Starting Strength Denver for that! If youre on the fence about joining, take the chance -- now is the perfect time to get the strongest youve ever been with the help of Starting Strength Denver!

Great place for women and men to get strong and maintain healthy bones. The coaching staff is extremely knowledgeable and have an enormous amount of experience. The technique taught in this gym is a fool proof way to get stronger faster than ever before. Im in my third week going 3x a week and can tell Ive already put on muscle mass! Excited to continue the program long term!

This is the premier place to get coached on barbell lifting in the Denver area. Jared and Amanda are highly accomplished coaches and I have watched first hand countless people become the strongest versions of themselves at this gym.I have been going since the gym opened and I would be lying if I wasnt shocked with the transformation both my wife and I have gone through in terms of our strength gains. You are going to get really really strong, the kind of strength that makes day to day tasks that maybe had you tweaking your low back before become inconsequential.This is a completely different experience than a typical commercial gym. You have a 90 minute block with programming done for you, and you are fully coached during your lifts. You show up and do the work and you get strong, with actual measurable results.It doesnt matter if you are a rank novice or an experienced lifter, this gym will make you stronger than you thought was possible.

Starting Strength Denver is a phenomenal place to gain confidence with compound barbell lifts, consistently build strength, and focus on lifting efficiently/safely with great 1-on-1 instruction. Jay was super easy to work with, and Jared and Amanda were awesome coaches to work with in the morning sessions. The gym is super clean with plenty of room for activities. If you’re hoping to build strength (new or experienced lifter), safely come back from an injury, or join a group of like-minded people who care about getting strong, I would recommend SS Denver for you!

Starting Strength Denver has helped me achieve my goals in a matter of months.Instead of spinning my wheels at home, the coaching staff and ownership have worked with me to make sure that my lifts are progressing and that I can keep adding weight to the bar, safely.In less than a year (as an intermediate lifter), my deadlift and squat have increased by over 100#, presses by 50#, and clean by 75#.

If you want to get strong, if you want to feel better every day and if you care about your mental and physical health, you can find an hour a day 3 times a week.No thinking required just do wht your coach says. I have followed Starting Strenth for 8 years. We are fortunate we have 2 certified coaches plus an owner that is on site. You will not be disappointed. Robert

Signed up before they opened. It is amazing how fast you can get stronger. I still have a long way to go, but as an older guy, any improvement in strength is worth the work.Show up, do the work. The coaches (Amanda and Jared) are awesome, and can modify the program if you have some physical issues.

Took an intro class today(Sept.16, 2020), and it was fantastic. If you are unaware, Starting Strength is one of the most highly recommended weightlifting plans for beginning to intermediate lifters. There is a book, and forums, etc so you can do Starting Strength anywhere that has the equipment.The *magic* of this gym is the coaching.Ive lifted off and on for thirty years (mostly off,to be honest), but todays coaching has me squatting, pressing, and deadlifting better than before. Im excited to see how having my form corrected allows me to make progress and get stronger.The setup is fantastic, with your own set scheduled workout on a reserved lifting platform. No waiting on other lifters for equipment or having to work in. You get your 90 minutes and coaching to go with it.Im excited to start lifting here.1st EDITED TO ADD: Its been 12 weeks now, and I never want to train anywhere else. My squat has gone from 125lbs to 300lbs. Deadlift from 205lbs to 360lbs. Press from 65lbs to 135lbs. I feel great, and love how this amazing coaching makes getting stronger so simple.2nd EDITED TO ADD: Its been 5 months now. Today I hit a personal goal, and deadlifted 405lbs for 5 reps. The amazing coaching and programming I get at Starting Strength Denver has kept me constantly making strength gains while balancing my ability to recover from the training as a 47 year old novice lifter. Everything I said above, I feel even more strongly about now.

Best place to get strong in Denver. The coaches here follow the Starting Strength model, which is a systematic approach to barbell training made up of a series of concepts which, when applied together, develop stronger, more capable lifters.
