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!

So here's my story and why DNR is by far the most professional, highly-trained and educated gym for…read moreanyone 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.

I do not recommend this gym. One of the owners makes many sexually inappropriate jokes, as well as…read moreculturally 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.

I'm thankful my husband and I have found such a great place we can call our "second home" , now we just need to get out butts in there more often. And yes, people are holding you accountable.

I still try to show up and the coaches are cheering you on the whole time. A great full body workout for those who need a little guidance or an extra push. And bonus if you get the OT band to keep track of your workouts during and after classes, but it's not required if you're trying to save a little money in the beginning.

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.

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.
