Following a tour of the DAC with Diane, she not only followed up with my membership, I also received personal communications regarding my specific interests, both athletic and social. It is different to have an actual person (members) reach out and invite you to a class or event. You can sign up for mailing lists, but individual members also want to make contact with you, it is the culture of the club. New members are offered a free wellness visit then two free personal training sessions. I would highly recommend taking advantage of this! Carol completed my physical (% body fat, cardio, balance, etc) and checked in on my experience thus far at the club. She sent the tests over to Jennifer who has been my personal trainer ever since. I have felt great about my fitness; the results have shown in my racing and energy. The shopping, restaurants, and social events begin to add onto the bill after a few months. DAC is not the cheapest, but is the best bang for your buck! The social activities cost less than I would spend doing these same activities outside of the DAC. Moving into the city, especially LoDo, plan to spend more money. Being a part of the DAC, you can get great deals inside the club and the committees will plan outings in the city as well.

Hello there, It is with great admiration that I write this 5 STAR REVIEW for the venue & great staff at the Denver Athletic Club Bar in downtown Denver. My name is Brian Masters, and I am the owner of Casino Party USA in Denver, Colorado. Our company creates and hosts over 400 “Casino Theme Party” events a year, and the Denver Athletic Club is one of our favorite event venues for guests looking to have a fun & exciting event. Our business averages two events a month, and we love working there! Katie, at The Denver Athletic Club, and their staff are professional, courteous, responsible, and extremely talented at working with our clients and guests at their venue. The Denver Athletic Club venue is always clean, well maintained, and a beautiful venue for your next corporate or personal. The Denver Athletic Club not only has multiple private rooms to rent, they have a large upstairs Event Room, upwards to 300 guests, as well as restaurants, lounges, and activity rooms available for functions. I would highly recommend The Denver Athletic Club for anyone looking to host their event there. Thank you, Brian Masters - Casino Party USA

The DAC has all the equipment and amenities you need for working out, but for the steep initiation and monthly costs, if fitness is what youre after you can save a lot of money elsewhere. Up front it sounds like everything is available to you as a dues-paying member, but there are a lot of extra fees if you want to optimize your experience. I also noted being charged for things I never purchased, on every statement (they were removed after I objected). Being a former gym owner and holding a lot of the same credentials as the staff, it is clear that the business model is oriented toward becoming a champion socializer. I attempted to arrange a VO2 Max test and it seemed the staff had better things to do with their time, via phone, email, and in person. Group bicycle rides were cancelled. The CrossFit box hasnt been upgraded in a long time and has some annoying restrictions (no dropping weights during business hours). The building is really cool and has a lot of history, theres a bowling alley, pub, restaurants, etc. just not a lot of shredding.

So the motto of this club is "A club for all your life", yet when my mother came down with breast cancer and I asked that my membership be cancelled so I could help with my mothers medical bills, they refused to cancel and I paid for 2 months I didnt use. The hypocrisy of people who say they want to help cancer patients and then dont is remarkable. Last year I received an email from the employees asking for a donation for their services. Again, the hypocrisy. So... a message to all those with cancer, cancer survivors, or anyone with cancer, you might want to put your money elsewhere. Im tired of hypocritical do-gooders, who actually do NOTHING to help anyone but themselves. They should take a good look in the mirror and figure out what they stand for, if anything.

As a marketing expert and promoter I had the pleasure of working with The Denver Athletic Club on two recent Society of Hispanic Human Resource Professional corporate events. I have never been more impressed with any venue. This facility is first class all the way. It is centrally located and easy for everyone to find. The rooms are very nice and the food is fresh and tasty. However, the best part is working with the amazing people of the DAC. They love their jobs... and it shows! Everyone is pleasant, patient, professional and trustworthy. They under promise and over deliver every time! Thanks Judie! Great team work!

Accidentally use their parking garage to attend event at Convention Center next door. Didnt know it was athletic clubs garage. Sign out front said "Event Parking." After attending the event I went to exit the garage and was charged $25 for 2+ hours of parking. As I exited I notice sandwichboard sign behind a blockade which said in large letters: "Parking $25." THE SIGN WAS PURPOSELY HIDDEN. Denver Athletic was making a sweet buck. Its not the money that bothers me, its the attempt to deceive, which speaks volumes about this organization. I will never patronize this establishment no matter how out-of-shape I become.

Its hard to like and hate the DAC. Across the board youll see everyone complains that the place being stuck in 1980. Its kind of what gives it a piece of charm and certainly a perk for the 60 and 70 year old oil guys who have been coming here since their prime. Who doesnt like green carpet and gold trim on everything?? And honestly, the plethora of after shaves and colognes offered in the mens locker rooms is nothing shy of endearing. With the membership rate as high as it is, they know what their doing obviously - keeping the old in and the young blood out. But Im sure thatll all eventually change. Well see.

I love this place. I am there everyday and it has everything you need in the city. It is my home away from home. Great place to swim laps, with very clean lap pool that is always empty it seems. Nice newly remodeled hot tub co/ed steam/sauna right in pool area. This is not just a gym, it is a club of welcoming friendly people who want the best in the city. Never seems crowded in the massive workout gym area. Their Crossfit is pretty killer as well. Kids love the indoor playground and kids programs. It is a great place to connect with Denvers best and brightest.

Ive been a member of many clubs in many cities, and this is by far the best Ive belonged to. It has all of the amenities one could ask for, and the staff is wonderful. Ive not come across a single rude person on staff. As a member of the club, you become an owner, so if theres something you dont like or want changed, there are measures you can take. The club is expensive, so if youre looking for something inexpensive, it is not that. However, for what it is, it is great, as it has everything one could wish for in an athletic club.
