My first experience of MBS was on Memorial Day of 2017. I was invited to participate in one of CrossFit's most anticipated workouts, Murph. At first step into the gym, I was welcomed into the family and then quickly joined the MBS community as a member after that day. I have had experience with two CrossFit gyms other than MBS. Both of these gyms' focus was on packing weight and being "stronger" individuals. As a result, I injured my shoulder during a power clean. I was very discouraged and disappointed that I was pressured into packing an unreasonable amount of weight onto the bar without proper technique. My time at MBS was filled with excellent coaching and community support. MBS is not about hitting the "RX" or "getting jacked". MBS CrossFit is about quality coaching and instruction on how to move efficiently and safely. With these factors into play, I was able to touch up my technique and grow in strength. Within three months, my backsquat PR grew by 40lbs and my clean PR grew by 60lbs. What I learned from the MBS community is that our bodies are able to push, pull, jump, run, lift, throw, and squat in any possible combination. I learned that quality is superior to quantity. I learned that muscle-ups aren't hard with the assistance of False Grip technology. I learned that fitness is easy to achieve with the right approach. I am grateful to the coaching staff for pushing me to be a highly functional individual. I feel much stronger and a more holistic athlete after a short time. If you're looking for a place to help you get to the CrossFit Games, a place to help you be a better athlete, a place to help you recover from an injury, a place to help you be healthier, a place to help you push your twins in the stroller, or a place to enhance your community experience, MBS is the place for you. MBS is a place of community, safety, nutrition, and strength. We are made to move, go to MBS, and get MOVING! Thank you, Jeremy, Rich, Heather, and Kyle for everything you have done for me and the community! Forever, Mind. Body. Soul. Daniel B. read more

While I'm still newer to MBS (I use both of their facilities, this one in Arvada and the other at the hangar) I thought it made sense to leave a review. While until now not a regular crossfit(er), my wife and I have dropped in on various boxes while travelling and the like over the years. I have never had a bad experience at those, but that said, we have found the time at MBS to be exceptional. The coaches are all terrific -- you can feel their enthusiasm, dedication, etc., and seem to relate as easy to recreational users (like me) as the hardcore folks that are there. And MBS has a mix of both with intimidation a total non-issue. There are plenty of truly great athletes there and just as many people like me trying to get a sweat on before getting back to the office. There is no pressure to do more or heavier, but a lot of focus on technique, which of course is imperative. I still can't do most of the more skillset needed exercises very well or at all, and the coaches are very patient every time. You can tell the team there is having a good time, and that has carried over such that our teenagers all have taken to it, making it even more fun for us. Thanks to the team -- we've enjoyed our time there--we appreciate what you do! read more

I recently completed the 6 week body challenge through MBS Crossfit II. It was a great experience. Jeremy, Heather, and Val were great coaches and leaders. We had a blast and worked hard at the same time. I have a physical fitness background so I was interested to see what would happen to my body with Crossfit. After 6 weeks of varied workouts, my body is tighter and stronger and I have more stamina. Jeremy is an excellent trainer who made things fun, but also pushed each person according to what they needed. Proper lifting technique was emphasized to avoid injuries. I was really worried about a prior knee injury I had sustained, but the knee felt much stronger when the 6 weeks was up. In fact, I stopped wearing the knee brace a couple weeks into the program because it felt so much stronger. I would highly recommend this Crossfit gym. I loved the use of indoor and outdoor space during workouts. It's also connected to a yoga studio and a chiropractor. read more

I signed up for the the 1 month beginners on-ramp course in August 2016 with NO intention of ever continuing with a full-on CrossFit membership. My goal was just to start getting active again through the on-ramp course, but then do my own thing after the 30 days were up. I always thought CrossFit was too expensive and figured cheap membership at a local gym was just as good. Well. . .I loved the trainers and the classes and the community at MBS SO much, that I got hooked and am now a member! In all honesty, the amount of personal attention and training I get in the classes makes me feel like I get more than my money's worth each month! MBS has created such a welcoming environment for people of all fitness levels to come together to sweat together! The encouragement, feeling of community, amazing coaches and killer workouts made me into a believer. You won't regret giving this gym a chance!! read more

Can't say enough about MBS II. If you are looking for a life changing environment then this is your place. Whether you are a world class athlete or a beginner, MBS II will exceed your expectations. Every workout will challenge you no matter your skill level. The best part is the culture and community MBS II has built. We never compete against each other rather with ourselves to be healthier. We all care about each other's long term health and happiness as is evident by the constant support and cheering at every workout as well as the "get-togethers" we have as a community. Now my 12 year old is working with one of the coaches to help prepare him for the upcoming hockey season. After every workout he can't wait for the next one. Go try a free week and you will be hooked!!!! read more

Ralston Creek Cross Fit (RCCF) has an incredible coaching staff. I watch younger, fit people continually improving and reaching new goals with the coach's help. I wasn't sure what I was getting into when I signed up for a 6 week challenge. I was a bit nervous at working out with others that are physically fit, but everyone that attends are welcoming and encouraging. I joined because my doctor recommended strengthening the muscles around my bad knees and hip to help push off surgery. The coaches adjust my workouts/movements to help me meet this goal while still challenging me. While I still have pain in my hip, my knees rarely bother me anymore. I'm stronger than I've ever been. No matter what shape you are in now, RCCF can help you become a better "you". read more

Overall I can't be more pleased with MBS CrossFit. I previously tried another CrossFit gym which I thought was good ... but now that experience doesn't even compare. The biggest difference to me is the orientation / on-ramping of new gym members. The first gym I went to was a bit all-in, learn as you go, with just a week of on-ramp classes. MBS on the other hand, provides a full month (3 days a week) of on-ramp classes for newbies. That's a pretty helpful confidence booster if you're new to the sport or not in a gym environment much. And you can transition over to the standard class early if you're ready. Outside of that, all the coaches are incredibly helpful, friendly, and encouraging. Highly recommended. read more

I have been a member of the Arvada location (MBS II - The Deuce) since it opened a last year and I it has been one of the best decisions I have made for my fitness and health. At the age of 49, I can honestly say that I am in better shape, physically as well as mentally that I have ever been. The attention to detail that the coaches have in preparing you for the workouts of the day (WOD's), to the support of the other members, I feel that MBS not only prepares me to take on any challenges, but inspires me to be a better person. If are looking for a place to improve your health and get phenomenal coaching and support you need to give MBS a try. read more

I love this community! They feel like family and the coaches are very knowledgeable, they know what they are doing. Being injured, the coaches always find a way to adjust the exercises and make you succeed. They motivate you so you do not give up. I have been going constantly since September 2018. I have lost a lot of fat, 3 sizes down, and I can tell my muscles are building up. I never feel weak or unable to lift heavy objects (or kids :-) ). RCCF is very enjoyable because it is a lifestyle... it's not some exercises you do one hour a day, they teach you to live a better life for you and those who surround you. RCCF ROCKS IT! read more

This is a great gym! Everyone is friendly and encouraging. The coaches are excellent and work with ensure every performs the movements correctly and safely. The workouts are different each day and always able to be scaled to ability. There are people of all levels and abilities. There are lots of women in most of the classes as well as a women's only start up class. With a wide choice of many different class times throughout the day there is a way to get a workout into the hardest of schedules. I have made great gains in strength and overall fitness in the year I have been a member at MBS II! read more

If you have the desire to make yourself better inside and out, and workout with a great group of coaches, this is the place to be! The instruction is AMAZING and being in my mid-forties, I never thought that I would be able to run, lift, climb a rope, ......and the list goes on! I also feel great doing it! They encourage you at whatever level you are at and make sure to watch for good form. I have learned new eating habits and have lost fat and gained muscle! The people who come to workout are so friendly and it feels like home. I recommend you give it a try! read more

There is no better healthy community in Arvada than Ralston Creek CrossFit. The coaches are experienced, knowledgeable, and most of all friendly. It is a family friendly supportive gym. Unlike other CrossFit gyms I have attended, RCCF focuses on safety. All athletes warm up and cool down together led by a coach! The coaches break down EVERY movement before EVERY WOD. They don't simply put a warm up/cool down/WOD on the board and tell you to start. I can't emphasize enough the quality of this gym!!! It's AMAZING!!! read more

MBS Crossfit is the best! I am new to Crossfit and was scared to death, but found the coaches and staff to be so nice and welcoming. The coaches are great at scaling the workouts to your ability and they make sure that you are safe, have fun, and of course get a great workout. I have been to both locations and have found that to be true for both of them. I have been there a few months and have already noticed a big difference in my strength and endurance. Highly recommended!! read more

Ralston Creek CrossFit's coaching, programming and community really separates itself from the other gyms I've visited. I'm now coming up on completing my third year at RCCF and couldn't be more thankful for the personal growth, functional fitness and friendships I've built since starting. I was bored, spinning my tires with gym workouts. RCCF has been a fun, competitive and challenging way to break free of the mundane training and see greater results. Excited to keep at it! read more

I joined MBS almost 2 months ago and it has been GREAT. I came in at a VERY beginner level meaning I was out of shape and new nothing about CrossFit. Their on-boarding program with Coach Heather is amazing...she gets you all the basics and makes sure you are comfortable before transitioning you into the classes. The people have been so welcoming and supportive and it is truly making a difference in my life. I would highly recommend MBS to anyone at ANY fitness level. read more

This is THE BEST box in Arvada and possibly all of the Denver Metro area. No matter what your health/Fitness goals may be, Strength, Gymnastics, or mobility they have a coach to help you. The coaches are always keeping an eye on your progress and will help you scale back the movement or weight to help you. On the flip side, if they see that you are capable of doing more they will let you know! Joining RCCF was more like being welcomed into a family than any thing else. read more

Try out a WOD at RCCF and you'll never want to step foot in a regular gym again! The coaches here are incredibly knowledgeable, fun, and creative, and the community is like a second family. Unlike some Crossfit gyms that focus only on the leaderboard, RCCF emphasizes nutrition, mobility, learning each move safely and specific to each person's body type and abilities, and overall wellness. But don't worry... you'll still get the hardest workout of your life. ;-) read more

Love Ralston Creek CrossFit! I belonged to another gym and I was so nervous to switch - worried I wouldn't get the same community and level of workouts, but I'm SO happy I made the move. I've met some of the most amazing people, the coaches are friendly, supportive, knowledgeable, and the workouts are just what I need - intense, adaptable to fitness level/injuries, and great variety for overall fitness/strength/endurance. RCCF is the best! read more

RCCF is the best! My husband and I have been members for almost 2 years and absolutely love it. The atmosphere is welcoming whether you're a beginner or advanced athlete. The coaches are fun, knowledgeable, and helpful. Not only are the staff members great, but it truly is a warm and welcoming community of people. I've been through injuries, pregnancy, and postpartum and RCCF has been able to support and accommodate every level of fitness! read more
