Lux Strength — Local services in Denver

I stopped at Lux Strength for a mat Pilates class while visiting Denver, Colorado in August 2022. This was my first experience with mat Pilates and I my expectations were exceeded.

I enjoy a variety of methods of exercising that include yoga, weight training, Muay Thai and pole fitness. Despite these outlets, I still felt challenged by the exercises that charis implemented. But don’t let that discourage you! I was in a class with other individuals who described themselves as beginners and people who do not usually enjoy exercising. Both them and I had a great time. Charis brings her warmth and humor to the class which helps you overcome any mental blocks that you may have.

Not only did I feel the burn of the exercises, I felt the lengthening and release of any tension in my muscles. I was super happy that I got a chance to take the class while visiting.

A clean, welcoming, and safe place to work out. These requirements are all met here and exceed the expectations of what a gym is supposed to be. What sets this place apart is Charis. Charis is the most educated coach I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Her eagle eye can pick out weaknesses in you, but most importantly, she knows how to make you stronger so you will not be injured in the future. I am currently in a program designed by her for the vanity muscles: Glutes, Abs, and Delts. What I did not expect was how her training has translated into other aspects of my life, such as snowboarding, cycling, and simply walking. I cannot say enough great things about this gym and about Charis. I am grateful for a positive experience every time I...
