I joined Crossfit Modig a little over three years ago, bored with the standard "go to the gym" routine. It has presented itself to be one of the best life decisions I have ever made. Every aspect of what makes a top notch CrossFit box is there. The Coaches: It goes beyond saying how good the coaching staff is at Modig, being proficient in movement standards themselves is only half the battle as coaches. David and the entire coaching staff are also great teachers, and teach safe movement to everyone who comes in the door. In doing so you are getting the maximal benefit out of whatever movement you are doing. If a person has an ailment coming in they are also great at scaling movements and making sure that everyone is able to reach their fitness goals.The facility: Gym floors can be gross....not so at Modig. The gym, restrooms and showers are kept clean throughout the week and given deep cleans often. Modig uses high quality Rogue Fitness equipment throughout the gym and more is added when necessary. As far as space Id say it is just right. Not cramped but also not so big that you have huge class sizes and less personal coaching.The community: This is huge to me, I once switched gyms only to find not all gym communities are created equal. I found the other place to be snooty, uninviting and other members disinterested in anyone but themselves. I made the choice to come back to Modig, despite it not being a convenient location at the time. Part of what makes CrossFit is the community, they keep you going when you dont think you have any effort left in you, and then come back in for more the next day. To this extent the community at Modig is incredible. It gets better though, beyond the cheering for an hour a day members ask and show interest in what is going on during the other 23 hours of each day in your life. This makes not only your health better, but your life better. Your support system now stretches well beyond the walls and doors of the gym. Career opportunities and networking open up, your friend circle grows now you have more people to enjoy life with. The benefits are endless. None of this can happen unless it comes from the top though, David fosters this community along with all of the coaches, they are friends and mentors to all of us in our pursuit to live long, healthy lives. The last thing I can say beyond any amount of stars I can click is that my life is better because of Modig. I met my incredible fiancee there, I am stronger, healthier, more confident, more humble and in general a happier human being and it all started by just walking in the door and a handshake.

Is starting CrossFit at 51 a good idea? It is if you start here! To say its intimidating to walk into a box, any box, and get started is a bit of an understatement. I had no idea what I was signing up for when it came to CrossFit. I thought CrossFit was pushing huge tires around, swinging sledge hammers, climbing ropes, running through fire and crawling in the mud. Well, Ive learned its none of that. I like the fact that each hour is broken out into three segments (stretching, strength and stamina). The stretching/warm-up sessions get you ready to work out and include instruction on the movements of the day. The strength piece (Olympic style lifting) is challenging and the coaches do a great job ensuring proper form and safety. The stamina piece, for me, is always the toughest because its normally a maximum effort activity in a very short period of time. Despite being one of the "old men" of the box, Ive never felt like the "old man" (well, sometimes I do when I finish behind everyone else). The coaches (David, Justin, Corey, Carrie and Annie) are personally invested in your performance and safety. Youll find the other members are friendly and encouraging. Except maybe Paulo! :) CrossFit Modig is a great box with a great group of people, both the other CrossFitters and the coaching staff. If youre looking to start CrossFit (regardless of your age) or are looking to make a move to something new, start here!

I switched over to CF Modig March 30th, 2014 because (owner) David had presented such a great opportunity to really enhance my Olympic lifting (My goal was to qualify for the American Open in December 2015). I had a rough time leaving my previous gym and thought I had found a gym I could call my home, and friends I could call my family. The plan was to be programmed through the lifting coach, Billie, but to lift on my own. I would be able to work around the scheduled classes - which apparently caused more problems than it was worth. I lifted on my own bar, was paying for private coaching and all it ended up being was a lot of money wasted and a great deal of frustration. I picked up my bar a week in to the new month and because no refunds are given, forfeited $180 and had to pick up a new gym membership elsewhere. I also paid for a nutrition session which I lost money on. David also killed my spirit, showing me in the end, I was a greater burden to the gym than an asset. I wish I could give Modig a great review but two months later, Im still trying to rebuild my confidence and drive. Also, after receiving a poor review there have been numerous "5 star reviews" show up -- a successful business thrives on the honesty of the company, these reviews are a cover up for how the business is truly run.

I started CrossFit at the beginning of 2014 when I was living in Kansas City, MO. I moved to Denver a few months ago and tried out MODIG since it was so close to my house. I absolutely love this box and I now attend class 3 days/week. The coaches were very welcoming and quickly made me feel at home in a new city. They push me to try my hardest, but never so much that Im afraid of injuring myself. They are always attentive to my questions whether that be how much I should lift, or what equipment should I buy. The people who attend MODIG are what really make me love this box. Everyone is so nice and fun to workout with. Were a community and I love how people cheer you on at the end of a difficult WOD. Recently we had a girls night where I was able to meet other women who attend evening classes. This summer we also had an in-house competition and I signed up to judge since I was getting back into things after our big move. I enjoyed getting to know more people and cheering everyone on. If youre in the Denver area and looking for a box, come try out CrossFit MODIG. You wont be disappointed!

After college, I allowed myself a bit too much time to "get back on track" with my eating and gym habits, so I decided to sign up for an NPC fitness competition and hire a private strength coach. I trained with him for about 6 months, competed and did pretty well, so continued for another 6 months in order to keep my motivation going. Unfortunately, private training was getting too expensive and I really wanted to increase my endurance and coordination. Right down the street was CrossFit MODIG so I decided to try a drop in session, and have been hooked ever since. I started an unlimited membership about a year ago and have been in the gym 5-6 times per week ever since. Ive been able to maintain or increase the strength I started with the private coach, in addition to adding agility, coordination, endurance and flexibility (with yoga, or Broga, sessions offered with membership). MODIG has a great community, awesome coaches, and programming that creates well-rounded athletes. Love this place and recommend anyone to drop in!
