It is clean. And it is full of people focused on lifting. I was a bit overwhelmed with the variety of equipment, but that variety is a really good thing. You can find any piece of equipment you have ever used, and if you are not super picky, you never have to wait. Really a nice setup. Chris, the owner, is often present, and seems very available through email and txt. Certainly keeps the place running well, and given his experience, he is surely a valuable resource. I was a little put off by the political and religious signs; I want to work out, not get riled up. But, I never heard any religious or political discussions, and so none of that got in the way of my workout.

I've been a member for over a year, and this is without a doubt the best gym I've ever joined. Why?…read more The people. The space. The vibe. The offerings. The responsiveness. The community. The people who work at Raintree often remember my name, welcome me in, and help with any issues that come up for me. The people who work out here come in a range of ages and body types, and are friendly and thoughtful about helping keep the space nice for whoever is coming in next. The space is well organized into sections that feel private and very functional. The yoga space is very zen. There are a few hangout areas that include couches, or tables and chairs, and feel very home like. The recovery room is quiet and dimly lit. There are several spaces with weights and weight machines and each have their own personality. The track is perfectly located to make it easy to include the sled and/or a warm up or cool down lap along with weight lifting. The vibe is consistent and reminds me of being in a spa. Not hooty tooty, but rather, like I have a rich friend who has invited me over to their gym and is glad I've come over! The gym always smells nice and fresh, is clean and welcoming, and has good music on at exactly the right volume. It's easy to walk around as the paths to places are well delineated. And, I always feel like I belong. The offerings, responsiveness and community all resonate deeply with me. Currently I am focusing on prepping for the DEKA, and Raintree has classes, trainers and the equipment I need to prep for this. I am also working on becoming more centered and lowering my cortisol, and the yoga classes and sound bath class are really helping me achieve better sleep, less stress and more feeling connected to my body and heart than I have in a very long time. The variety of equipment and my amazing personal trainer, Kelly, have helped me achieve so many of my personal fitness goals without getting injured, including a 4 day back pack trip with some girlfriends while carrying 40 pounds. I am currently working with Kelly to compete in my first DEKA and to do a pull up. I will leave you with one last example to demonstrate the extra mile this amazing space goes to to help me meet my personal goals as well as to feel very cared for. The other day I came in and asked Chad how I could measure out 100 meters so I could practice for the DEKA. He told me he would measure it out for me. So literally, I went to my yoga class and he got my spaces all measured out and ready to go!

Manic Training Fort Collins is now my new home 3 to four days a week. I drive from Windsor for 20 min. To attend the class, I am so hooked now I'll probably drive 60 miles. The owner/coach Craig is top-notch. The gym is very welcoming and extremely clean, and the numbers are all very supportive, kind, and helpful. I am 56, and I am in the best shape I've been in years. I can do things that I couldn't imagine doing five years ago. Attending this class helps me enjoy my weekend activities without pain and injury. The most important thing I found is I have less pain and more energy than I've had in years. I would highly recommend this gym. It's home to many people!!

I just finished up a 3 class trial, and loved the intensity and variation of the workouts, however,…read morethe owner made me very uncomfortable. Craig (the owner) openly discouraged me from joining the gym after he embarrassed himself with his comments directed at me. I originally gave him the benefit of the doubt, and continued to come to the workouts. Unfortunately, he continued to be aggressively rude and condescending. Another trainer I spoke with, as well as some members, made excuses for his unprofessionalism, chalking it up to his personality. I found this to be unacceptable, and discouraging seeing as you can't attend this gym without dealing with Craig. So, for those who value integrity and decency, you won't find it at Manic Training.

We like Chuze a lot, but ended up quitting. Wait, what? I'll explain. We joined shortly after…read morethey opened, and were members until recently. In the beginning, parking was not an issue, and neither was getting a spot in the only class that really interested us, which was a mix of cardio and weightlifting. Then the next-door pickleball place opened and parking instantly got harder, a trend that would continue. Later, they took a bunch of the treadmills away, and reconfigured our favorite class to reduce the amount of cardio and increase the amount of time wasted cleaning equipment and transitioning between stations. At some point they introduced having to pre-register for class, but you could only do so 1 hour before the start time. Then we started having to bring our phones to class, to show that we'd pre-registered. (I'd rather have left it in a locker.) That registration timing had some issues, so later they changed it to registering 3 days ahead of time. And you had to do it ASAP, or you couldn't get a spot. There was no wait-list/standby status, or notification if someone later dropped out. So, this year when they had the typical new-year's resolution surge, it got to where we missed several classes due to not being able to get a spot. At that point why are you paying $38 a month (including the $60 annual fee) for the "More" plan? There's no good answer. And it's a shame, because the instructors are great, and we liked just about every one that we ever had.

Opted to give whetstone a second try. Not because we are interested in becoming members or coming…read morehere regularly, just wanted to try out something different from our norm. Pros : -Climbing options were good. There are a large variety of ropes to choose from. -There are 4 autobelay options I believe -There is also a lead climbing area. -Of course there is also a bouldering area which seemed like quite a few choices, but they were busy working on it today so there was not much of it open to use. -They have some sinks out by the climbing wall so you can go wash your hands and not have to take off all your gear in order to wash your hands. Cons: -Price! holy smokes $46 for me and my daughter climb for 2 hours. Yikes!!! this is more than i pay for my gym membership for my entire family for a month......... That does not include gear rental either as we have our own so we didn't need any of theirs. If you want or need gear it will be more. -You will need to fill out the waiver upon entering not a big deal but their ipad system makes it a little tough to get through. -If you want to do more than bouldering you will need to take a test for top rope and also watch a video for autobelay. Okay fairly standard. However, they failed to mention until after I paid that 1. they were working on the bouldering wall so not much available there. 2. The guy couldn't leave the front desk and no one else was available so can't do the auto belay training either If a good chunk of things are not going to be an option and obviously we are not a regular maybe make sure you let people know BEFORE they pay. We did do the top ropes test. It will take between 5-15 minutes depending on you. I just felt jipped because we did not have the option of using anything and I paid what I felt like was a LOT of money! They could have at least told me upfront that hey you wont be able to use the auto belay and a lot of our bouldering is tore up so probably can't use a lot of that either. I may have made a different decision and went elsewhere. Anyhow. I guess my impression from last time 2 years ago about to this time was not much different.

Whetstone Climbing is a new climbing gym in the Fort Collins/Loveland area. The facilities are…read moremodern and there is a very ample amount of space for sport climbing, bouldering, and working out. I very much enjoyed my experience at Whetstone and I thought the service and amenities were good. The overall setting was decent. Expect slightly stiffer ratings than other gyms in town but still not overly so. One slight concern I had if I were a regular would be the route turnover- it did not seem to be the same as Ascent, the other gym in town and routes stayed up a bit longer. I think the setting at Ascent is maybe a little better but it's hard to really tell given I only climbed 8 sport routes here vs. years at Ascent. The rates seem fair. $17 for a day pass is cheaper than superior gyms down in Denver. Membership rates seem about the same as Ascent and if I were living in Fort Collins, I'd likely just go to whichever gym was closer to where I lived. The community is friendly and I thought the idea of a bar/coffee area is smart. Definitely hope that Whetstone succeeds as a gym.

I can't say enough good things about Jordan, Caleb, Thomas, Ryan and Riley. All the other coaches seem great too, but those are the ones I and my son interacted with the most. My teenager really enjoyed the classes--learning to push himself, develop new skills, and eventually, as he got into the adult classes, sparing. I wasn't interested in sparing or rising the ranks--which there is a lot of opportunity to do at McMahon. For me, however, it was more about physical fitness and trying something out of my comfort zone, and I was welcomed just the same. I really appreciate that they take students at whatever place they are and foster an environment open to all varieties of goals and abilities. There is also a growing women's group that's very welcoming and inclusive. Overall, a great place!
