LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this gym and all the coaches....... Every single day at this gym is a day of personal growth in some form. Whether physical or mental, I feel that gains are made every workout. These coaches are so much more than I could have expected and every workout feels like a personal training session. They are 110% present and involved with each member, fully aware of individual capabilities and personalities. They know when to SAFELY push, when to scale and when to bust a move to get the morning going (Haven). Seriously though, form and safety is rule here and every workout begins with a progressive "walkthrough" of the day's workout movements to make sure we are ready to attack the WOD. I grew up an athlete and I really thought that I was doing a pretty "good job" at fitness through my adult life (I now realize that I wasn't). One day, my women's boot camp program closed its doors and I was lost. I had never considered doing CrossFit because I'd heard of so many injury stories. I have learned inside these doors that this is a total misconception of Crossfit when training with highly skilled coaches. The best thing that ever happened to my body was walking through the doors at Sloan's Lake Cross Fit and meeting Haven and his coaching staff. I can't even give them the praise their awesomeness deserves. At this point in my life, this is exactly what my body needed and now craves. I have gained a mental and physical strength that I have not had in a long time. The entire system of this gym works. It is about becoming stronger both mentally and physically. It's about nutrition. It's about community. It's about becoming a whole new complete healthy. It's about always remembering that there is room for growth no matter where you are at in life and fitness. Sometimes it is just "1%" more at a time but there has been constant growth and achievement for me. The community is amazing, supportive and FUN. Being new to CrossFit, I was sure I would be intimidated through this process, but everyone is here for the same reason. Their own personal growth and achieving it within a supportive community. A 100# deadlift is just as respected as a 400# deadlift in this gym. I couldn't choose a better place or better people to surround myself with. I gain inspiration from them all, newbies and veterans. Together we laugh hard, work hard and push each other to reach new gains and goals. I'm in awe of my progress in a matter of months. This is a whole different kind of fit and I am lovin it! read more

This is hands down the best CrossFit in the area, and the new location and class times are perfect for anyone who wants to reset their mind and body. Haven's mission to INCREASE YOUR QUALITY OF LIFE THROUGH TRAINING AND COMMUNITY is infused into every part of a member's experience. I never thought I would be into CrossFit because I assumed it was for "very fit, athletic people." Turns out, most of the members are a variety of ages and ability. If you're in bad shape... perfect! No experience needed. Just your body and your mind, and the desire to change. There is no prototype at SCLF and Haven makes you feel welcome from day 1. The personalized coaching and the encouraging support makes every grueling workout worth it. The attention to form is never forgotten, and there is more of a spirit of support than competition. Now I can honestly say for the first time in my life that I'm an athlete. The investment into myself, my physical and mental health, and the feeling of belonging to a community that cares about me is worth every single dollar that I spend on membership there, and more! Come check it out, I promise you won't regret it. Changing your life starts with intentional decisions, and SCLF reminds me of that every day. read more

I joined SCLF back in December of 2016 after a free introductory class. I had never done Crossfit before and had read the reviews of the business before becoming a member. They are completely accurate. The coaches are great and I have taken from several different ones in the time I have spent there so far. They always use modifications on the days workout for your ability level and pay complete attention to what you are doing at all times. They push you to try harder but never at the cost of getting hurt. I had to check my ego at the door as I knew I could not possibly keep up with some of the athletes that work out there and they never expect you to do so. They make the modifications needed for my current fitness level. They are helping you to be a better you not a better someone else. I am in my 50's and have moved miles past where I was in just three months. I encourage you to try a class and see what it's about especially here. The owner is always encouraging, the other athletes are friendly and welcoming and you are missing out if you think this is not for you because you are intimidated. Don't be. Try it out for yourself and you will see what I am talking about. read more

There are 3 things you should look for in any gym: 1. Great facilities/equipment 2. Great coaching 3. Great community SLCF has all of those things and the best of each. The moment you step into the gym you feel welcome and supported through every challenge. The people offer a community like no other gym and they start to feel like family. The facilities and equipment are top notch and allow you to focus on fitness, not trying to find working equipment or space to get fit. The coaches, Haven, Ben, Dana, and Kate are incredible. I have been coached by Haven in athletics and lifting for the better part of 12 years and his knowledge and methodology is like no other. I have never found another coach that drives me to be better or improves my skillset more than Haven. He leads a team of incredible coaches and will help you accomplish whatever your goal may be. Bottom line is if you want to feel like a bald eagle on the Fourth of July, this is the gym for you. read more

Let me start by saying I'd highly recommend this CrossFit gym to anyone at any skill level. I've always been intimidated by CrossFit, but finally decided to give it a whirl after meeting Haven (coach/owner of SLCF) at a beer festival. :) Every misconception I've ever had about CrossFit was completely shattered after my first workout. Haven and his coaching staff are incredibly thorough with breaking down movements for every workout, so correct form and safety are always of the utmost concern. And the community here is SO welcoming and encouraging, there's just nothing like it. I love the variety of the workouts and love that I am always pushed beyond what I THOUGHT were my limits. I've never seen results so quickly, or gotten stronger so fast, as I have here at SLCF. I can't recommend this place enough and I'm so happy I found it. read more

When my wife and I left our previous Crossfit gym, we searched long and hard in the North Denver/Arvada area before deciding to join SLCF. We dropped into a bunch of different gyms but it was clear after 1 class at SLCF that this was the gym for us. The family atmosphere and members here have been amazing, from having a first-class facility with every piece of equipment imaginable. To a top-shelf coaching staff, my wife and I couldn't be happier with Haven and the team here. They even have been super accomodating by allowing our kids to come hang out during the workouts and our oldest did a few of the open workouts with us! If you're looking for a new workout challenge or just want to expand your Crossfit abilities, make sure you don't miss this awesome gym! read more

My husband and I have been with SLCF for about a month now and could not be happier with the decision we made to join. The people are friendly and welcoming and the coaches are awesome. I was nervous about starting CrossFit because I was afraid of injuring myself by lifting too heavy with bad form. This is a gym that emphasizes lifting correctly before lifting heavy, and praises effort and moving well over lifting big. My husband and I already feel better, healthier, and stronger and actually look forward to working out - what a miracle. If you have any hesitations, meet the coaches and step into this wonderful community! Give Sloan's Lake a chance and you won't regret it! read more

Best gym in town! Amazing and knowledgable coaching! I find this to be an important factor in a gym. The staff NEVER makes you feel inadequate in your skill level and is always encouraging you thought the whole workout, even if you feel like you want to give up. Workouts are always challenging, but always properly modified for your skill set. I love that mechanics are first then strength- this is huge in preventing injury. Give it shot! you will not regret it. Allow yourself 2-3 months of doing CrossFit and you will NEVER go back to your 24hour fitness ever again. read more

The coaches are phenomenal and incredibly talented at programming. Not only have I experienced significant changes in strength, mobility and flexibility, but the community at Sloan's Lake CrossFit is encouraging and welcoming to say the least! It can be intimidating to walk into a new box and not know anyone or be uncertain of your workout performance, but from day 1 I felt like I was a part of the family. I'm so grateful for SLC, and for the knowledgeable coaches who push me in a safe and healthy way. read more

Great Box! Friendly, fun, hard working, community oriented environment where folks come to work out and reap measurable results. Haven (owner and coach) cares about his members' goals and constantly pushes and motivates them to become stronger, healthier and all around better people. No pretentious feelings here, simply a place where you show up and work hard to attain your personal goals. Northwest Denver is fortunate to have this Box call it home. read more

This place is not like any other crossfit gym I have been a part of. It is a community of humans who care about each other, each members individual progress, and creating a healthy view of fitness. The coaches are knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely care about each member. Always prioritizing safety and technique, while making appropriate modifications for movements. But they will also kick your butt! This is definitely a very special place. read more

I have been a member of SLCF for over a year and a half and am continually impressed by the quality of coaching and community atmosphere. Haven (owner) has set a standard of excellence and found great coaches to support him in promoting and coaching technique and form to cultivate consistent improvement in skill and ability. In addition to the physical conditioning the community at SLCF is supportive and encouraging. Come join the fun! read more

Haven and his team truly believe in the crossfire community and strive to create a safe, fun and motivational space for people of all ages, builds and fitness levels to come and accomplish their health goals! I can't say enough about this community of cross-fitters! You will feel welcomed, loved and supported! Time to make those changes and get moving people, and haven and his team can help. read more

After moving to town I was looking for a new box to call home. SLCF got the bill perfectly. Coach Haven's programming is varied but also is carefully tailored to help every athlete work toward their goals. Haven and the coaches have also done a great job at fostering a close knit community vibe. As soon as I walked in the door I felt like I was greeting old friends. read more

Coach and community make crossfit. You can find the best of both here. I travel the country for work and try to drop in wherever I can. Lucky to have SLCF in my backyard because nothing else has met the quality and standard this place provides. Discover your true potential at Sloans Lake Crossfit. read more

Had the opportunity to drop in here for the week while I was visiting from New York and hit some fun wods. The space is great, members were very welcoming, and wods had some fun variety throughout my stay there! Would definitely come back and recommend it to anyone in the area!! read more
