If you have been considering CrossFit at all this gym is the place to start. Great intro program and the coaches are concerned with making sure you are learning the movements safely and not on lifting beyond your means. I have been going for almost 2 years now and the gains I have seen in my fitness level and strength is incredible! I cannot recommend these guys enough! read more

I do not recommend this gym. One of the owners makes many sexually inappropriate jokes, as well as culturally inappropriate comments. When it's time to vote for best CF gym in Foco, they will hound you about it. They will call you out in class to make sure you have voted. One time I had 2 lacrosse balls that were taped together to roll out my back. The owner was walking by and had a single lacrosse ball. I asked him if I could toss mine and trade him. He asked me "why did you move the ball like that?" mimicking a blow job motion with his hands. I was nervous to ask questions in front of the class because the owner will make fun of you, or in his words it's just "bantering". I asked if there was a way to modify an exercise so it didn't hurt my back. His reaction made me feel stupid and ashamed. His response "well then don't hurt your back". The whole class laughed and then was like "ya Rindi don't mess up". He never helped me. Another member was called "bitch" multiple times by one of the coaches. The words pussy, dick, balls, bitch are used many times by some coaches and one of the owners. I did personal training with him. You never knew what kind of mood you were gonna get with him. I shared with him pictures from one of the gym gatherings and he thought it would be funny to delete me out of the picture. He also did this to a different member of the gym. He laughed about it and showed everyone. He would make racists jokes and try to get others to also laugh along. He always had to win at conversations and would legit argue with you that you're wrong and look it up, even if the facts showed he was wrong. One time I was up late with our sick kiddo and had a 7:30am session and said how tired I was, to which he made a snarky remark that these are the consequences to my actions of choosing to have a child. I can recall multiple others who also had bad experiences. Young girls and high school teams workout at this gym. You would get scolded at if you put equipment back in the wrong place or made a mess. He threatened multiple times to take away the chalk buckets. One day I asked if I could open up the door for some air as we were all over heating. The coach told me how he is going to get yelled at by the owner. There are no windows or working fans. The owner would always complain to everyone about the high electric bill. Even when the owner wasn't physically there, people would comment how he is probably still watching us on the cameras in the gym. He would tell me how he doesn't even like CF for multiple reasons. I confronted the owner about how I was feeling. The owner was giving me a hard time saying how I was in such a bad mood. I told him that he makes me feel uncomfortable and unsupported in the gym. He got defensive at first and then asked me to step outside to talk. I felt threatened and said I would prefer to stay in the gym to talk. He stood outside and kept telling me to come outside to talk. I stayed where I felt safe inside the gym with others present. He took it very well in the moment. At one point he was in tears apologizing. He said he values us at the gym and he loves my son. He said he will do better. He said that the only reason he banters with me and gives me such a hard time is because he likes me and I'm in his bubble. The conversation left on good terms. A couple days later I get an email saying I've been suspended indefinitely with working with him for personal training to protect himself and the coaches. He said to not directly contact him again. I requested a refund for my membership. I paid for a year in advance. I got a discounted rate since I paid for a year in advance and so I told him he can just refund me back at the non-discounted rate. He said a members decision not to utilize the membership does not constitute grounds for a refund. I'm choosing not to go because I was consistently harassed. This gym has left me burnt out, anxious, gaslit and over $800 short. read more

This is a great gym with friendly coaches and members. I dropped in on a Saturday during open gym, and even though they were extremely busy with a competition class and other people working out, I made some space for myself with little effort. I enjoyed being able to and get in a bit of a workout while on vacation. I would recommend this place as a drop in for anyone in town. read more

CrossFit DNR - Decal on the interior gym wall - Trainers Near Me - Fort Collins, Colorado

Awesome gym, coaching staff, and the community/overall vibe is the best compared to every other box I've dropped in at. The members were extremely welcoming, went out of their way to say hello, and made me feel like I was back home. Programming is solid and Kyle was really involved with feedback and technique tips for everyone throughout the entire class. Locker room was spotless and thoughtfully stocked with tons of stuff. The showers and towels came in clutchhh since I was on my way out of town. Thanks for having me DNR. read more

The brothers that own this have built an amazing community oriented towards bettering the lives of those around them. The box always has fundraisers going on throughout the community and their staff is extremely knowledgeable. It's a clean and friendly environment for everyone. read more

So glad I signed up for the intro liberty classes. The owners of this gym definitely have a passion for what they do. Their energy and knowledge make an incredible environment for learning and pushing yourself beyond your limits. I have learned so much valuable knowledge about understanding the ins and outs of CrossFit. They may think they "over explain" at times, but I value the fundamentals of CrossFit more than the actual workouts! Thank you!!! read more

You'll never find a better group of coaches and community so invested in seeing you be your best self! I spent 2 years at this gym and leaving this community was undoubtedly the hardest part about leaving Colorado! You'll get stronger, faster, and have fun doing. Don't look any further - CrossfitDNR is the place for you! Welcome home! read more

I just completed the Liberty Class, and I was very happy with the instruction and atmosphere at Crossfit DNR. I'm struggling to lose weight, and have been very leery on trying Crossfit again due to a bad experience I had in TX. However, this place is very friendly and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to try and get back into shape. I love it so far! read more

So here's my story and why DNR is by far the most professional, highly-trained and educated gym for anyone and everyone. I know it might be long but Crossfit DNR is much more than just a 5 star review. I didn't play any sports as a kid, and cheated in gym class because I hated working out. I went to college and undoubtedly gained 50lbs, but started going to the rec regularly. I graduated college and did the 24 hour/Raintree Athletic gym ordeal and attempted to stay consistent in my workouts but continued gaining weight. I always heard about Crossfit but I thought it was for really fit, athletic people who lived and breathed gym life. About two years ago, and at my heaviest - I joined a different Crossfit gym after much encouragement. It was decent - the coaches were nice, but there was something off. I always felt tense, because the other woman/girls were too competitive and judgy and I was just a beginner who knew nothing at all about anything. The workouts were fine but I couldn't go to a gym where I was trying to improve myself but leaving feeling worse off every time. So I tried every single Crossfit gym in the city limits of Fort Collins. There were some good gyms, some bigger than others, but it wasn't until I picked Crossfit DNR that everything I knew about Crossfit changed. There are two brothers that own and run the gym and they are the most intelligible, dedicated, passionate, respectful and such organized individuals that I was sold. The equipment was treated well, the members of the gym were kind, they had good lighting/clean bathrooms/clean gym and were kind to every single person who walked in their door. In my time there, I lost 30 lbs, gained so much strength and built confidence in myself that I had no idea existed. The brothers, Kody and Kyle are the coolest guys - they are so passionate and skilled at what they do, they emphasize treating your body well, stretching and mobility as well as proper form which was so important to me. They took so much time out of every class to work with me one on one because I suck at Crossfit - but they never gave up on me. I worked with them for a short time for personal training, and they took me reaching my goals more seriously than I thought possible. I was also mind blown by how phenomenal the female coaches were - they are by far the coolest, most humble women I had ever met in my life. Specifically, coach Marie is one of the biggest reasons I continued to push myself in Crossfit. She was encouraging, motivating and so humble that was never a moment in my mind that I felt competition with her - and she's the strongest, best athlete I have ever met. She, as a woman, could have used her strength and skill to intimidate other woman, but instead she uses it to teach, relate, and encourage others - she has the kindest heart! I am writing this all in a review, because I use to be the girl who would sit at home on Instagram eating chips and queso praying for a body that I didn't want to work for and judging Crossfit for things that were all lies. I was and still am a beginner, but joining Crossfit DNR was by far the best decision I have ever made. I wasn't even super close with anyone at the gym as I kept to myself most of the time, but just being there felt like family. Crossfit DNR is truly one in a million - you have trained coaches who will take an overweight/not athletic person and treat them like an athlete. They will take an athlete and make them a professional. They will help you reach your goals, big or small, physical or mental. They will encourage you, they provide resources to maintain proper nutrition, if you so choose to hang out outside of the gym they have built a great community to be involved in, and they have created an environment where anyone, of all levels in life, can be in the same room together struggling through the same workout. If you are unsure about Crossfit, just drop in and do one class. If you are unsure about what gym in Fort Collins, take my word that you will be thankful that you joined DNR. There is truly no better gym out there. read more

If you're looking for a Crossfit gym to drop-in or a new place to call home you've found the right place. The atmosphere here is like no other place. It's warm and inviting for newer individuals while being challenging and competitive for seasoned veterans. It's the best of all possibilities and will give you the best possible chance at success no matter what your goals are! I highly recommend doing a drop-in and seeing for yourself and you too will see that this is one of the funnest times you can have while working out regardless of your experience level! read more

Have been a member of CrossfitDNR for a little over a year now. I first joined in order to train for a Tough Mudder last fall - a foolish commitment as I am 40 years older than the nephews that I agreed to run the TM with. The year has been an adventure. The owners and their staff are very careful to scale work-outs to my ability level and to continuously correct my bad form. They are always generous with their time, concern and coaching. Like all CF boxes (gyms) the class programming follows a prescribed "workout of the day" of warm-ups, stretches, slow speed strength olympic lifting and an ever-changing high intensity challenge of timed exercises. Coaches "scale" and substitute exercises to match individual's needs. Crossfit is a different culture - no mirrors, no chrome, no "preening & strutting." The walls are plywood, the members aren't looking at themselves. We all know each others' names and we encourage each other. When I fall behind, the "kids" (anyone under 40) often join me for my last push ups, burpies or sit-ups. This kind of encouragement is an incredible experience and it happens almost every day. The owners, Kyle, Kody and Vanessa, work very hard to foster camaraderie and friendliness... and it works. When I started, I was in my sixties, grossly overweight, and badly out of shape. After five months I successfully ran the 2014 Colorado Tough Mudder. I'm still in my sixties, moderately overweight (but lots thinner) and in far far better shape than all of my beer bellied buddies. My strength and endurance grow every month, as my belly slowly shrinks. And I am having fun! Constructive Criticisms: Can't think of any! Finding crossfit DNR the first time is a challenge. Like many crossfit boxes, it's "around the back" and WELL worth the effort. read more

I have been going to DNR for a year now and the coaches really care about your form and preventing injury. I also love that the workouts are constantly changing and I don't get bored. read more
