Best Gyms with Functional Training Equipment near Thornton, Colorado

Very very mid. This felt like out of the 90s, and it felt like every route felt like it could be outdoors but it would be a 1 or 0 star outdoors. I disliked every climb I did because it felt contrived and awkward. I’m not saying that I dislike the Spot as the other locations are good, and I have nothing against the staff, but they should do something. Also I thought it was odd you could rate the quality of the climb and there were a lot with Xs or bad ratings. Makes me wonder about the gym already as you’d expect the routes to be high quality at a chain as I know I can always expect that at other gyms I go to!

Cool spot. Especially nice for lead climbing and top rope. Gym was pretty much all to ourselves on a Sunday morning. The weights section was quite large and had a heavy bag. The staff were also very nice.

I was unsure about checking this place out after reading the reviews first. Yeah, the lighting isn't great. Yeah, some of the holds are older. But the route setting has been pretty good, and it's nice that the gym is so low-key and hasn't been busy either night I've been this week (climbing from about 5:30-7:30pm, which are prime time hours at any other gym). Gym climbing can be such a 'scene' these days (especially living near Boulder and all it's pro athletes) and this place doesn't have that vibe.

All staff very friendly and have done amazing work encouraging my son. We did the two week trial of all locations and decided to just stay with the Thornton location moving forward we liked it so much. We both were able to get top rope approved as well I’m under a week from starting.

This is my local The Spot. Smaller than others; yet very good facilities, plenty of bouldering, pleasant staff. One star off for their reduced summer hours though. No climbing before work 😕

Great selection of equipment and surprisingly busy for a brand new gym. That being said, I don’t find myself waiting for much while I’m there. It has been a solid experience overall, and I’m hopeful they will stay on top of cleanliness/upkeep. Staff is always friendly when I’m there too and are quick to help when needed.

Nice equipment but can get pretty crowded. Was very surprised at how many people in this facility don’t bother to unrack their weights or wipe down machines when done with them. Way too many tripods constantly filming in the main gym area. Management really should force the tripods into the dedicated posing room that they wasted space on.

It’s new so everything is nice currently. Equipment (machines) are great 5/5. Sadly, being new it’s just tripod city with every OF girl taking pictures all over the gym. You’re probably going to see half the people their praising the gym as their new home? Overall, kind of just a new gym, with a bunch of ego fanatics currently.

Great equipment and atmosphere. The owners and front desk staff are also all very friendly and welcoming. I’m so thankful to finally have a bodybuilding gym on this side of town!

Solid gym but the dumbbell area is a pain since people refuse to put them back in sequential order. They are just placed randomly in any open slot, some not even in pairs. A random 10lb next to a 45lb etc. Like parking your car next to someone who doesn’t know how to park, and then they leave. Now you look like the asshole that can’t park. Edit to 5 stars since the owner took accountability and they added label stickers for the dumbbell slots.

I've been a member at Mountain Strong for two months and it's the best gym experience I've ever had. The coaches care, teach you and push you to your limits. There is a place for everyone: Crossfitters, Climbers, and anyone willing to push themselves to be better. Wouldn't want to call any other gym home!

In response to the owner: You seemed to have no problem reading the messages I sent on two separate occasions. And between those messages you had time to adjust the price of the listing. Seems you could’ve responded pretty easily and at least said “I’ll get back to you soon” but instead you chose to ignore a new climber simply asking a question. Nice excuse though! Original review: I just started to climb a few weeks ago. I’m not sure how this gym claims to help climbers become better, when the owner will not even respond to a simple question about some crash pads for sale. I’ve never met anyone that just ignores people inquiring about an item they listed for sale. What’s the point? Haha. Seems very rude, and unprofessional. If this is how she runs her gym also, I don’t recommend going here. Give your money to someone else that actually cares.

The community that Mountain Strong has been able to cultivate is wonderful. With many conditioning gyms, it sometimes can feel intimidating but not here. The coaches and owners make you feel part of their family. The members are open, friendly, and the best part, encouraging. The environment here allows your training to feel fun, that's the sweet spot in my opinion. Moving to Colorado and now been here for 2 years, 90% of my friends are from here. The gym always has phenomenal clinics to work on all types of things. From breathing, to climbing knots, to getting your rowing form perfect. They're always getting the community together for fun workouts followed by a relaxing BBQ after. I can write on and one but this place is truly magical. I am so grateful for the connections and life long friends that I have made. This has everything to do with the coaches and owners who have dedicated themselves to creating a place where your health and training can be a happy adventure. Don't get it twisted, they bring it and you will get your pump on but in a fun way.

Mountain Strong is an awesome gym! The CrossFit is great for a workout, and the bouldering wall is great to work on climbing skills. The unique climbing oriented "Kraft" workout classes are a great way to improve climbing strength and endurance. The owners/trainers are fantastic and really know their stuff, (plus they're incredible athletes in case you need someone to compete against in the workouts). The community is also really great, we're always meeting new cool people every time we go. Now if they would only move their location closer to where I live... :)

The is the best gym I have ever been a member of. The coaches and other members are very supportive, encouraging, and helpful. I first started attending the gym as part of their seasonal Ski Conditioning class. When I began working out, an empty barbell was my workout weight, which made it intimidating to watch serious athletes workout around you. However, nobody judges or cares how much you can lift. Everyone is just happy to see people show up and work hard. I can highly recommend Mountain Strong!

The staff here are really nice but the last few times I went in it was really dirty both in the tanning room and the locker room. My shower was backed up and i ended up standing in 2 inches of backed up water. Also the showers are moldy and look like they don't get deep cleaned often. But there was hot water so that's always a bonus.

Came in this evening and left around 11pm David was the associate that checked me in and helped me buy some headphones I also purchased a refreshing drink. This associate was always at the desk, when my workout ended and I wanted to do the deep tissue he was there! This location is the best and really clean 10/10! I recommend all my friends.

this is the most disgusting gym i have ever visited, i am a regular visitor to this chain all over america, but this is the worst case that i could not even imagine. in all the gyms the staff is very tactful and courteous, but in this gym the gym worker does his job so terribly that i can not even describe this feeling. after the workout i was ready to take a shower, as this worker forbade me to do it, referring to the fact that the gym was closing and time was up. i asked for only 2 minutes. and he refused me. although all i could do was turn on the water, so i had to stay dirty and i am very angry, because i do not live in this city and i am passing through. this worker introduced himself as jacob, but i do not believe his words. i will attach his photo… Planet Fitness, I really like it, but take a closer look at who you hire, the employee must be polite and tactful, otherwise your reputation will go down the drain.

No sauna, no pool, no hot tub. They do have a big spa area with hydromassage chairs, hidromassage bed, tanning beds and spa, a special dedicated place to relax. The gym has central area for cardio and bike's and stairs, and side areas separated in body muscle groups. Areas for abbs, shoulders and chest. It was clean. They Wes very kind, polite and friendly lady on the reception. She let me try the bed 🛏️ hidromassage. It was good, had video, music and games. Also had two language English and Spanish. It was clean inside of the gym. Restroom cloud desire bit more cleaning. It is not bad. If you don't use pool or sauna this could be a great solution. Reasonable prices.

Every time I come in at night and Tyler is at the front desk he always has a smile on his face and makes everybody laugh and feel welcome! Him and the other employee at night always make sure to help with anything I need and I see them cleaning which doesn’t happen at other gyms I go to!

The gym is dirty. The bathrooms are always trashed. They take forever to fix their equipment. Their hamstring machine has been out of service for more than a month. The sauna always smells bad. The one pleasant thing about the gym is that they have friendly staff members.

Spoke with Alex over the phone. Gave me a great run down of all the options available. I came in they got me signed up supper fast while remaining informative and transparent. EXCELLENT experience! This association deserves a rase! Cares about the work they do and it shows! Thanks Alex this will definitely become my home gym 😊

I’ve worked out in many different gyms in my life and this one might be my favorite. It is huge with lots of variety of machines, equipment and classes. The front desk staff, trainers and management have all been very friendly and helpful to me. Personal Training with Coach Di Andra Romero has been an incredible resource in helping me recover from a knee injury. I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to work with her in improving my strength, mobility and flexibility. I get great value out of this gym membership, the group classes and the personal training. Highly recommend.

I voiced concerns a year ago to upper management about the gym having literally no weights. A year later there is consistently no machines with 10s or 5s despite the Westminster VASA having EXCESS. This is not a consistent experience and I was even informed by a trainer that the owner doesn’t want to spend the money. Why are you putting in new classrooms when you can’t even take care of the existing facilities. Hell the bathrooms are never clean, water fountains stay broke with no water pressure. Do better VASA.

I started doing yoga about 2 months ago with Shawnie. As someone new to yoga, she made it very simple, while still making it difficult and rewarding. I wasn't a studio member at the time, but after they added the yoga studio and I got to do a few classes with her I upgraded. I now attend yoga with her at least once a week, and I highly recommend attending her other classes as well. Definitely do yourself a favor and stop into her classes, I know she also leads some classes at other Vasa locations in the area.
