About a year and a half ago, after having three children followed by nearly two years of pandemic…read moreliving, I knew that I needed to change up my fitness and nutrition habits. After many, many search sessions, I kept coming back to Body by Emilee and finally took the plunge to set up my initial consultation. And now, I'd probably describe myself as a superfan of Emilee's. From the get-go, Emilee was really approachable, kind, and very easy to work with. We started with nutrition sessions, and while I was definitely not eating the most healthy diet, I never felt bad talking about my habits. Emilee's approach is a "sure and steady" way of looking at things. Instead of something drastic we were able to look at my habits and make small, consistent changes over the course of the past year that has served me really well. Plus, nothing is off-limits. Emilee believes in creating a sustainable lifestyle of nutrition and exercise. And I'm more of a "moderation in everything" kinda gal, so I couldn't handle someone telling me there'd be no more, oh, I don't know, fried chicken or champagne or cake. From there, I was also able to add personal strength training with Emilee two days a week. While the sessions are never easy, Emilee is always very mindful about how hard we are working and adjusting my weights or my exercises to have maximum impact on my goals. And working out with her is honestly just a ton of fun. Beyond the excellent coaching aspect, Emilee has built a solid community of women around her, both the folks she coaches as well as just the people she knows in the world. She hosts regular events for everyone who trains with her that span a wide variety of topics, everything from a session on learning to add meditation into your routine to a spin class. Every time I attend one of the events, I marvel at how much I genuinely like everyone that is there. For me, a number on the scale wasn't (and isn't) my ultimate goal, but I have lost nearly 30 pounds over the past year, and a half (all the Covid weight and most of the baby weight), but best of all is how strong and healthy I feel. My body feels really good, and I feel really good about my habits these days. Finding Body by Emilee was like finding a light at the end of the tunnel, and my sessions with her have been such a bright light in each of my weeks.

Emilee is a great partner and coach. She was an incredible addition to my health and wellness…read morejourney!  While I sought her out for some specific concerns (postpartum, overall health and wellness, etc.), she not only excelled in all of those areas, but I also consider her a key to my nutritional success. Spending time to talk about tailwinds and how to make small changes created a lot of change quickly for me. She checks in with you and creates a holistic plan catered to your needs. I can't recommend her enough!  I will continue to leverage her further as coach in the future, as her method is aligned to what works for me!

I've noticed a new cleaning crew in the evenings recently and it has been an improvement. Thank you for that! The yoga classes are a MAJOR high light of my gym life, the teachers here are top notch ( Joesph, Alex Rachel are excellent) and they rotate so you are able to explore different styles and expand you base knowledge. The sauna has been recently remodeled. The steam room could definitely use some new tiles and caulking but it's always piping hot. The staff are attentive and the guests who frequent this location are extremely friendly and you have a small sense Community. I would like to thank Drew May the GM for taking the time to find a solution for an error on my yearly membership. He was prompt and kind, show casing exceptional customer care.

This review is for the old location in Stapleton, since the move to the new location didn't happen…read moreuntil just a couple days before the end of my 6-Week Challenge. The coaches, Neil and Denise are awesome! They are friendly, knowledgeable, encouraging, and motivating, without being too overpowering or intimidating. The gym (old location) was in what looked like a really old apartment building. The space was too small for my own comfort if there were more than say 6 people there working out at a time (Saturdays...augh!), but I am not fond of small spaces with too many people (no one else seemed to be bothered by this, so it is just a personal opinion). There is plenty of, as well as a good variety of equipment to workout with. The coaches incorporate standard (well-known) weigh-lifting moves along with some new moves that you can definitely feel working (I love learning new fitness moves to keep the workouts interesting). I did feel we kept with pretty much the same workouts each week, though, and just tweaked it by increasing weight/resistance, so I wish that had changed more often. That being said, it WAS just a 6-week program I was in, so it probably wasn't long enough to change the workout much. I do remember Denise explaining in the beginning why they do it that way, but just can't remember the reason right now. (On the new location at Kearney St.): They opened their doors this past Friday, so I used it twice. It is a perfect size now, with an extra room to use if you need more space. It is still in the process of getting all the equipment there..kettlebells, maybe some weight racks, etc, but it looks promising. I would highly recommend giving this gym a try! You won't be disappointed! Highly Satisfied, Bobbi Kusk PS: I did reach my goal in the 6 weeks...YAAAYYY!!! I'm down 12 pounds and 8% bodyfat, and plan to stick to the diet and exercise (though more outdoor fitness now that the weather is perfect for it‍‍‍‍ Thank you Lodestone Strength (Neil & Denise)! ‍

They look like they're from the 1970s. I would be embarrassed to be the owner or an employee of this place. My anytime gym membership gives me access to multiple locations. I can confirm the gym I experienced this at is the Mayfair-Park Hill location at 6005 E Colfax Ave. **Update** I received a call from an employee named Hunter who shared this is the expectation for what a gym member will experience at this location. Hunter informed me the AC unit was on and running properly and stated unfortunately the AC does not have the capacity to keep the gym at cooler temperatures. His resolution was to come back during cooler months or "to go to a different gym" all together.

Not only is he a quality individual you want to be around, he has mastered the art of tailoring workouts to your level and pushing you at the same time. This has been absolutely invaluable to my health for the last year and a half! Then there are the others who attend this gym. It's a great group of people of all types who fit into a supportive group. You can choose to join for the classes and/or get 1:1 training sessions. I go with the classes because its a great workout with good people. Everyone works at their own level but it's motivating to be part of a group trying to push themselves. This isn't a fancy gym. This is a gritty place full of kettlebells, tires, a ton of different equipment and space to move. Tamba and his trainer's workouts are unique and varied, targeting functional muscle movement. When you're done, you feel like you pushed yourself and the results follow. I recently read a study that found NOT exercising is actually worse than smoking. The truth is that Upgym is why I consistently have high quality workouts. I'm really grateful for it.
