About

I’ve been training individuals out of my personal gym for 11 years.


Each client begins with a comprehensive assessment. I don't believe in questionnaires and guesswork -- I provide a 1.5-2 hour movement analysis in which I find your strengths and weaknesses, your muscle balances and imbalances, any postural deviations, neurological inhibitions, and more.

Absolutely thrilled with my experience at Crossfit South Denver! I've been attending regularly for over two years, and I can't say enough good things. The coaching from Kyle and Steve is top-notch—they bring an incredible blend of expertise and friendliness that makes each session both challenging and enjoyable. You're not just lifting weights here. You're building an understanding of holistic movement that contributes to your overall well-being. But what truly sets this gym apart is the preventative approach to fitness. There's a distinct emphasis on avoiding injuries, which is a massive selling point for anyone serious about creating a sustainable fitness routine. The programming is intelligent and considers not just strength and agility, but also long-term mobility and health. This isn't your run-of-the-mill gym. It's a place that prioritizes quality over quantity. If you're looking to build a robust, sustainable fitness habit, I couldn't recommend Crossfit South Denver more highly. More...

I’ve been attending South Denver Fitness / South Denver CrossFit since I relocated to Denver several years ago. CrossFit has been something I’ve been doing off-and-on since I first was introduced to it in the Air Force, back in 2009. I’ve attended many gyms, but this one unequivocally stands out as the best in my experiences. Throughout the years attending here, there’s only been a few times where location wise it was close and convenient to where I lived. Yet, I always kept my membership here despite how inconvenient of a drive it became at times through all my many moves around the Denver metro area. Why? The coaching and support I’ve found. I’m sure it’s located somewhere on their site, or through their marketing promotions, but this is one of the few gyms in the country that can boast having a coach at the top level, and at pretty much every level leading up to the highest level of coaching. Although that may not sound like much to the layman, many of my friends and family that have attended with me while passing through town have exclaimed the training is top notch. Included in that bunch is my younger brother, an Army Lieutenant, and another close friend of mine who is an avid CrossFit enthusiast and previously many years ago was in the qualifying rounds for the Olympics for powerlifting. This gym has through the years helped me with many goals. From getting back on my feet and back to healthy habits after taking a six year hiatus from exercise and eating right, to pushing me to lose 24 pounds for a diet contest last summer. The support I’ve received here has been unparalleled regardless of which coach I’ve worked with. I hope to keep attending here as long as I am here in Denver and recommend South Denver Fitness / CrossFit to anyone who is looking at either getting back into a healthy physical condition (like I was at the beginning) or who is looking to elevate their fitness level (where I am now).

I've been doing CrossFit for about a decade and I've been a member at quite a few gyms during that time and I've seen what works and what doesn't. From the un-intimidating atmosphere to the fun and unwaveringly supportive community, South Denver Just. Works. One of the main things that I think sets them apart from other gyms is their focus on lifelong fitness - it's not just a slogan here. They prioritize healthy and sustainable gains, so no matter your goal, from competition to keeping up with the grandkids - this is the place. More...

Great gym with very knowledgeable/fun coaches. My wife and I are back at Crossfit South Denver after a several year hiatus from Crossfit and we knew that CFSD would be were we would return to. Honestly, it's better than we expected. The classes are fun, workouts are challenging and the community is very supportive. The coaches are incredible. They take great care to teach these complicated movements correctly and safely. This has been huge for me after a significant time away from these movements. The coaches are just great all around people as well. Most of them hold the highest certification level for CF coaching--which is no small feat. Stop by and give Kyle, Steve, Angela, the other coaches, and the community a chance to help improve your health. More...

Having done CrossFit off and on for 10 years my husband and I have experienced a range of gyms and coaching. The coaching at South Denver is truly top notch and a pinnacle example of how classes should be run. The focus is absolutely on improvement and longevity over an extra few pounds on a lift or a few more questionable reps. The space is maximized and always clean each class. We also enjoy the atmosphere among members who are working to get better and stronger but without inflated egos or clique like mentalities. My husband’s quote was “We should have come here sooner!” More...

Highly recommend this gym, especially for those new to CrossFit. I been doing it for 5+ years and been to gyms all over the world. The most important thing in a gym is the coaching and how they educate members on moving well for the long term, not short term egos. Not all gyms prioritize this and some just let members come in and do whatever they want, that defeats the purpose of having a trained coach in class! Kyle and the whole coaching staff here are amazing movers and take the time to help you understand how to do exercises right, and things you can do to improve (stability, mobility, etc.). The programing is also quality, its not every day 40minute take your soul workouts, the team builds in periodization and balance so you can stay consistent over time and maximize results. Classes are a great mix of folks of all ages and athletic experience together and Kyle & team find ways for folks to scale workouts to their level and work towards safe progressions. More...

If Crossfit is your thing, I'm sure this would be a great place to go. Kyle is very personable and knowledgeable. I used a groupon he sent me to "try it out" because I had never done it before and was looking to get back into fitness. After a couple classes, however, I knew it wasn't for me. I sent a polite email telling him Crossfit was not for me, I would not be attending the rest of the intro classes, and thank you for your time. He sent back two unprofessional emails that made it clear (now that I was not interested in continuing) he only wished to know how much money I needed to have spent to feel guilty enough to continue attending. Kyle makes it easy to get in and to feel welcome there, and really takes the time to make sure you won't hurt yourself while doing Crossfit (which is great!). However, it is difficult to get out. It seems impossible to just try Crossfit to see if it's for you without any strings attached. He said there was no pressure to love it, but it sure didn't feel that way at the end. More...

Q&As

Consistent approaches with the common theme amongst all people that what we inherit is a human body that is lazy by its very nature. Learning to create posture awareness, proprioception and balance.

Consistency 99/100
And the confidence to eat enough to put on muscle.

1)
Black and white conversations with people that get them into the right habits.

Grew up wanting to help people. Grew up around coaches.

They should choose the closest and most convenient option as consistency rules everything. I might be a better coach than 98% of coaches but if I’m a 45 minute drive one way it’s hard to stay consistent

My 3 current online students enjoy our workout routines greatly.

Physical activity has been a lifelong pursuit. I began competitive football in Houston, Texas at age 6, continued through college at Oklahoma State University, and achieved remarkable physical fitness at 21. Crossfit introduced me to both higher fitness levels and improved health awareness. In 2010, I discovered Crossfit during my internship with the Oklahoma State Football weightlifting program, obtaining my ACSM in 2011. After a year on Crossfit.com programming, I joined Crossfit South Denver in 2012 and started instructing there in 2013. I've gained various certifications, including Mobility, Aerobic Capacity, Weightlifting, NASM in 2015, and achieved Level 3 Crossfit in February 2020.
