Base6 Fitness — Attraction in Denver

In April of this year, I finally took charge of my health and fitness. I started working out and eating right and was steadily losing weight. I would mostly walk and do yoga at home, but I knew eventually I'd want to kick it up a notch. I live around the corner from Base 6. I would walk by often and think it seemed super intimidating but I told myself I'd be ready for it some day.

I checked out their website at some point to see what they were about. There was a lot of language about inclusivity and workouts being tailored to all levels which gave me some confidence that I wouldn't just be completely out of my depth. I decided I'd finally give it a shot back in June and haven't looked back.

The coaches are all very knowledgeable and supportive. There's the right balance of pushing me to challenge myself and not feeling forced to do anything that I'm not quite ready for yet. The workouts are always different and always challenging.

I enjoy seeing a lot of the same people regularly. It feels more like a community than just a gym I show up to and grind through a workout. I'm really glad I decided to take a chance and try it out even though it was very hard at first. It's been so worth it and I'm excited to see how much more I can continue to grow (and shrink) by...

If you’re looking for a fantastic neighborhood gym, look no further!!!

The first thing that you will notice is that everyone knows your name; you’re greeted like a human being and the fact that you showed up matters. The second thing you will notice is the diversity - there are people of all shapes, sizes, ages, gender identities - all working out together. The classes are easily adapted for everyone on their fitness journey, so whether you’re just getting into shape or lift regularly, you’ll be challenged in a really good way!

The owners and the coaches are superb. As the owners, Brian and Libby have developed the such a welcoming environment. CJ is great with form and Nicole never fails to brighten my day with her encouragement and amazing energy (plus she ends each class with bad dad jokes which amuses me to no end). There’s also yoga with Michelle 2-3 times a week which I cannot get enough of! Also a big shout out to Nico who is always so great to see when you walk in and provides banger beats to work out to.

All in all, the community is unbeatable and the workouts are challenging but very doable. Each class is about 50-55 minutes long and you definitely leave feeling like you got a great workout in!

All in all,...

I've been at Base6 for the last 3 months, and I'm blown away with the quality of fitness I'm building and the community that is exciting and motivating to be part of.

Quality of fitness: Let me just say that I enjoy NOT planning my workouts, and I have put my full trust into Brian and the crew at Base6 to plan out a holistic and well-rounded HIIT and Strength work out regimen. They have HIIT classes that are absolute BURNERs, and range from upper & lower-body focused, to mobility and power-focused workouts. They also have barbell classes designed to help you nail proper form and build strength over time taught which I've learned so much from and think they compliment the HIIT program nicely. I know I can jump into classes a few days a week and get something new and different from that last class that I can benefit from.

Community: Brian and the crew bring high energy and expertise to every workout, yet keep things light-hearted and don't take themselves too seriously. The people who go here overwhelmingly NORMAL people and don't take themselves seriously either. We're all just in it for a good work out and not for the instagram shenanigans. I look forward to going to every work out and I cannot recommend this...
