Reviews of CrossFit Sanitas (Gym)

Ashley Cohen

I can't say enough good things about Sanitas. The coaches, community and programming are all incredible. I just turned 40 and am probably in the best shape of my life - and I'm able to ski harder and faster than ever before!

Emily Puetz

I have been a competitive nordic skier and triathlete and started crossfit this summer at Sanitas. I also travel frequently for work and hit boxes in cities across the country. I have never come close to encountering the quality of coaching that happens every day at Sanitas. The coaches are not only technical experts, knowledgeable about health, nutrition, fitness and injury prevention but they also figure out how to design the workouts to challenge the most elite athlete and the beginner at the same time. Additionally, the staff does a terrific job of fostering community and I look forward to ‘getting to work out’ each day. Truly… a top- notch operation.

Katy Fassett

Incredible facility and amazing coaches!

Kaitlyn Ruff

Dropped in for a workout while out in Boulder for work. I have done CrossFit several times but tend to stick to my orange theory and pure barre workouts where they don't make me sling around heavy weights ;) so I was a little rusty. The staff here was so friendly and very welcoming - asking me about myself and continuously giving me pointers on form. They were genuinely invested in my workout. And the workout itself was really fun and definitely a great workout. I highly recommend this gym. I imagine being a full time member is awesome

Andrew Pitts

Awesome staff, great coaching, and an amazing community. If you are looking for a gym in Boulder look no further.

Hazar!! BEST CrossFit gym you could ask for. I’ve never found a crossfit gym that has ticked all the boxes, until now. Sanitas gym has thee best trainers, lovely customers, and the manager (Tom) is such a darling. I would love to write something about each trainer individually, nevertheless I don’t want anyone slipping into a coma, so I’ll keep it short. Laura, Elissa and Courtney were the main trainers I had during my two months visit from the UK and they were fantastic to work with. Every coach is dedicated to safe practise, nobody can hide, but that’s what you want, a gym that cares about your safety first. It doesn’t matter what level of fitness you are; we all must start somewhere. The coaches will help you adapt accordingly, and the customers are very encouraging. In case the coaches thought it and didn’t have the heart to say it to my face “SEA LEVEL, REALLY IS FOR SISSIES” Thank you for being patient with my altitude issues.

Jonny Woods

I had a great experience! learning how to improve my technique as well as gaining a lot of knowledge on how to improve my overall healthy lifestyle!

Francisco Garza

Best crossfit experience I ever had. Coaches are exceptionally knowledgeable, the box is spacious and extremely well equipped. The community is strong, friendly and eager to help.

Rebecca Newell

Fantastic coaching, and lots of class options makes this a stand out CrossFit gym!

Natalie Schmille

I love Sanitas! Best CrossFit experience I have had between the states of CO, CA, AZ, and NM. The instructors are knowledgeable and PASSIONATE. Tom, the manager, is an awesome leader and an easy guy to get along with. He leads that gym with such integrity! When I was a student at CU, I became really busy working three jobs while attending school full time. I completely dismissed the fact that I was a month to month member on autopay at CFS during this busy time. Tom, without hesitation, called me to check up and made me realize "hey you've been paying but not coming". After that, I never had a problem going back and spending what very little money I had because of how completely honest he was. He could have never contacted me and I would have continued to pay without being aware! The gym is VERY clean. The environment is upbeat. And the community is supportive. Of all the gyms/classes/clubs I've ever been apart of, this is by far the most influential community I've been apart in my journey to health and fitness.

Christopher Smith

Besides the box I currently workout in, Crossfit Sanitas is the gold standard. I came back for a week to get married and needed a place to work out. All signs pointed to Sanitas. In short, I was not disappointed. At all. From the moment I walked in, Sanitas took care of me. We negotiated a more than fair price for a week's worth of workouts, Ben (the amazing Business Manager) set me up in Wodify and made sure I was ready to go. The instructors were top notch and super organized. They had a huge array of workout gear, supplements, post-workout drinks, etc. I can't recommend this business enough. Thanks for making me feel at home and helping me to stay fit.

Siyu Chen

Dropped in here and I gotta say really great coaching with patience and attention to details. Went thru everything thoroughly from start to cooldown. Will come again!

Aly Woodward

Love the coaches and community at Sanitas! They've kept me motivated to set goals and meet them in the gym and elsewhere in life.

J. Raabe

They run all over the sidewalk & get in the way of regular traffic. That’s not really cool, yet they act super entitled..

Jessie Hilb

I look forward to walking in the doors at Crossfit Sanitas almost daily. The coaches, the facility, and the community are unbeatable, and being a part of it has changed my life. Sanitas is at once a close-nit community and always warm and welcoming to new-comers and drop-ins. The class times are ridiculously convenient. I love this place. It's really a second home.

Alanna Lynch

Love this gym. Love the community. Top notch coaching!

Noah Sussman

I have been going to Crossfit Sanitas since February. I walked in an out of shape but determined athlete and the coaching staff has helped me improve my skill level and fitness level to levels beyond my wildest dreams. I have been to a half dozen other gyms in Colorado and elsewhere, and without even factoring in the facility itself the coaching at Sanitas is second to none. They assure safety with every workout. Classes have a good coach to athlete ratio and feedback is plentiful. The daily WODS are always unique and build on each other. In the time I have been training at Sanitas, I have not once felt like I have been close to plateauing. The strength, olympic lifting, and mobility classes all provide additional avenues to get more out of your gym membership. By far the best part of Crossfit Sanitas is the coaching staff. The staff are enthusiastic about sharing crossfit with athletes and are very approachable outside of class.

Scott Rothbarth

Everything about Crossfit Sanitas is great. The staff are very friendly and informative. They really know their stuff. They building is chock full of everything you would ever need to become the athlete you want to be. All you have to do is show up and work hard.

Julie Barnum

Moved here a few months ago after finishing my masters in Fort Collins and getting a job here in Boulder. I was feeling a bit lost - I REALLY love my crossfit gym in Fort Collins and was trying to find another gym I could vibe with as easily. In came Crossfit Sanitas. No more feeling lost - everyone at this gym is so welcoming and encouraging and the coaches are well-educated, know how to coach well, and are always helping me and everyone in the class improve our form and fitness every time we come. My only complaint is my questionable sleep quality --> less time in the gym! Excited to get that under control so I can hang more with these cool cats!

Jaime Almond

I started Basecamp in January and was instantly addicted. I was very impressed by the level of coaching and the community that CrossFit Sanitas has. We did a fitness test the first class and by the end of Basecamp I had improved a lot. If you've never done CrossFit before, the variety in the workouts is great, especially if you are someone who gets bored easily. Each workout has a warm up, overview of the skills needed for the workout and the workout. Afterwards there is a cool down and recovery. The coaches are very attentive to make sure your form is good. The facility is amazing - big, bright and lots of natural light. As it's new, so is all the equipment. It's a great place to come and workout and I look forward to it every day. Definitely awesome.

Karen Jordan

Great coaching whether you are a novice or veteran. Strong community of people who care no matter what your fitness level!

Chad Walker

A CrossFit box is only as good as its coaches, and Crossfit Sanitas is really spoiled when it comes to coaching and programming. Our coaches are friendly, focused, supportive, and deeply knowledgable. The vibe of the gym is laid-back. We have some very fit athletes, but the environment isn't intimidating. It's welcoming to members, newcomers, drop-ins and CF vets alike. But when the bell rings and the work starts, we get after it. Sanitas has created a culture of encouragement and support among the athletes and coaches. We work hard, but we have fun. At Sanitas, we're as happy for the PRs and improvements and victories, large and small, of others as we are of my own.

Dave Warfel

Friendly & knowledgeable coaches. Lots of variety in workouts. Tons of open gym time. Members become friends outside the gym. Classes all day long. A very supportive community.

Tracy Dagle

Fabulous spot! Open and airy with a lot of room to move. They offer a variety of classes for all fitness levels or if you just want to change up your routine. Great coaches, knowledgeable, helpful, encouraging and very supportive. I can't say enough good things about CrossFit Sanitas, but you really should take a class and find out for yourself. I've no doubt you will be glad you did!

Adam Carter

Best workout environment!

Hans Westman

The best exercise I've had in my whole life! 3 times a week and I'm continuously and effortlessly loosing fat and building stronger muscles, especially the core. I've also gotten much more flexible. Each workout has a good 15min of warmup, followed either by a technique or strength session. It's only the last 15min or so where you really get pushed to your limits.

Michelle Crystal

I have been a member of this "community" for 8 months. This is the most attentive, personally guided, motivating gym and I am so proud to be a part of it. The fact that I had never done crossfit and was grossly out of shape simply didn't matter to the team of expert coaches. They treat everyone as an individual, they listen, advise, follow up and encourage you every step of the way. This is the place to try crossfit if you haven't yet and it is the gym to convert to; as I have been told by many members who have done so from other local crossfit gyms. In 8 months I have lost 40lbs, gone down at least 2 sizes (maybe 3 due to previous size denial) lost body fat and participated 100% in a 30 day cleanse competition. I have never done nor wanted to do a cleanse and now I can't wait until the next one in January. I purchase my protein powders from the gym - they have done the research and only carry the best. I even pick up my delivery of grass fed organic meats at the gym from a local CSA. They have thought of everything, again showing their commitment to helping you succeed. The team of massage therapists are amazing. On Tuesday and Thursday's there are barbell skill classes. This class is always small in size 1 to 4 people and the benefits of this training class is incredible...proper form is the most important to avoid injury and the Coaches drive that home everyday!

Glenn Einschlag

This gym has some of the most knowledgable and patient coaches I have ever encountered. Beautiful gym with wonderful people in it!!!!

Justin Riley

Greatest programming in Boulder!

Karen Roza

I am a 75 year old woman and have been enjoying the women's only class three times a week for 7 months. It is an awesome experience, challenging and incredibly rewarding -a lot of fun too. Recently I've added a mobility class which is a great addition to my workouts. Wouldn't miss one of them!

German Nunez

I joined about a year ago. Best decision I made in a long time. Coaching staff is the best I have seen.

Jake Mullen

Just dropped in for 17.5. Elevation killed me but, great gym, awesome equipment, and nice community.

Derek Leslie

The coaches are some of the best in the nation and most of them compete at the regional level. They coach focusing on form/technique, improving while not getting hurt and and having fun. The facility is one of the nicest and cleanest you'll ever see and it's 10,000 DW. Ft. It's also one of the cleanest gyms I've ever been to. Top that off with really great friendly members and you know why they are a top 5 gym in he nation.

Marina Vance

Great gym.

Jeff Mac Strong

Great crossfit gym and community. The coaches put safety first and make sure your form is right to prevent injury, which is not the reputation crossfit gets sometimes. The facility is the best I've ever been to, and like many other reviewers, I travel a lot and drop in at other locations while on the road and was a member at another crossfit in Mississippi prior to moving here. Classes can be big compared to other experiences I've had but there's plenty of space and they staff up accordingly, making sure there are multiple coaches if needed for a class. Also, the owners continuously reinvest in new equipment and the facility. An added bonus are the specialty classes that are included in membership - I have enjoyed both the barbell and gymnastics classes to further refine skills. You can come here and get fit and be motivated to come back tomorrow, or you can go all the way and take part in the parties and clean-eating challenges and competitions and really be a part of the community - Sanitas provides it all!

Juan Carlos Herrera

Best Crossfit in Boulder

Richard Moser

One of the best community spirited options in today's world.

Jennifer Blair

If you're already in great shape and want a new and interesting workout community, then Crossfit Sanitas is the place for you. If you are trying to get in shape (I was doing sprint tri's but not in crazy Boulder shape) you may want to give this place a miss. The instructors seem to have little patience for anyone working up to the full movements and are poorly skilled at encouraging this level.

Bill Sheerin

Sanitas is unique. Instructors are knowable. Members are consistent with very low attrition. The owners understand the importance of the customer, and by the enthusiastic atmosphere and approach to classes the employees are treated right. Sanitas is a fun place to workout and hangout.

Benjamin Bjerke

For me this is the best fit CF gym in Boulder. It's the biggest, the most convenient class schedule (earliest and latest, and nearly every hour), and the best variety (strength-, flexibility-, teen-, women- and endurance-focused). Unlike other Boulder gyms, they have "open gym" as long as the facility is open. It's more relaxed than other places (your "score" doesn't go up on a board), and the coaches are there to give you constructive criticism, not yell at you and provide your motivation for you. If you want an ultra-competitive gym, to feel like you're working out in a warehouse, or an intimate 6-person class, this isn't it.

Paul Lipton

The best coaches and community. It is the ultimate in health care.

James Powlan

Crossfit Sanitas is not just the "New Kid on the Block", but the new kid on the block with all the toys (showers, massage therapists, ice bath, child care, rope climbs, rings, turf for sprints,....) you want to play with, and the instruction manuals to play properly. The hardest part about getting in shape is consistently going to the gym, which is difficult when it seems like a chore. At Sanitias, you not only have an active family that supports each other, but you have the best environment to help you reach your goals. You'll make great friends and find yourself checking the website daily to find out the WOD, or to see how your new friends did. All of a sudden you'll notice the change. You can't wait to do that 17 min AMRAP or Fran. (You'll learn). Bam. You've become a crossfit athlete. You look forward to going to the gym, and it wasn't the cool-aide, kidding. I could talk for days about the gym, but if you want the best trainers, facility, and crossfit family, you need to check out Crossfit Sanitas.

James Baner

Incredible facility with amazing staff. Supportive, informative and a lot of fun. This place changed my life, I could imagine going anywhere else.

Mike Lynch

My wife and I love CrossFit Sanitas! Great environment, great coaches and great people. Childcare is also a HUGE blessing for us. Highly recommend!

Laura Alaimo

Great teen program. Can adapt to all levels.

Laura Tingle

The equipment, space and workout are all top-notch, but it is the coaches and staff that make Sanitas extraordinary. They are inviting, motivating, and sticklers for proper technique (which is important when throwing a barbell over your head).

Eric Mallon

This is a phenomenal CF gym, with truly knowledgeable and passionate coaches and staff, that has become an integral part of my life. They literally have classes all day long, so class sizes are ideal, and they have a huge variety of speciality classes, clinics, on-site childcare and massage/acupuncture, and clean lockerrooms. Equally importantly, they have cultivated a diverse, fun and welcoming community of members, many of whom are now friends. I found Sanitas 3.5 years ago bored with running/cycling, having never lifted a barbell, and now I can't stay away. I'm in here 4-5 days/week (as is my wife), about to turn 42, and I'm hands down in the best shape of my life.

Shannon Cox Baker

Crossfit Sanitas is the best! I've been going since they opened four years ago - no other workout compares. Great coaches, fun atmosphere, and incredibly effective. I'm a better athlete because of CF Sanitas.

Hoi Yo

Expensive Coaches can mindlessly say and do things that make one feel bad about oneself at times. Nickel and dime approach.

Ben Hitz

Great gym, more importantly, lets talk about Tom. Tom's a great guy, he's always sitting at the front desk all holly-jolly with the upmost restraint to not intimidate other top tier athletes of the facility. He really enjoys if you sing him a song as you enter the gym (also during or after workouts) with the words of the song replaced with "Tom". An example of songs includes but is not limited to: Eye of the Tiger, ACDC, The Macarena, and George Michaels (his all-time favorite). Hope this helps! Fitaids are delicious.

Simen Oestmo

Great CrossFit gym with excellent coaches. Huge locale with lots of equipment. Does not feel crowded even with 20+ people joining a class. Centrally located in boulder. Easy to park.

Claire Mulholland

Awesome coaches and great programming!

Melody Indigo Markel

It's easy for me to express gratitude towards the Sanitas community~ I joined Crossfit Sanitas in April. Then, three weeks ago, I broke my foot while playing outside the gym. In the past (like when I had ankle surgery), I let injuries identify me, and stop me from remaining physically active and even engaged with my physical body. This time? Within three days of the break I was at our box working on some pull-ups, and I've continued to come in regularly since then. Those at Crossfit Sanitas have been awesome at cheering me on and having me feel welcome, even though I haven't been able to participate in the WODs (Workout Of the Day). Something else I'm noticing is that I used to not push myself very hard when going to the gym. That shifted when I came to Sanitas. It became both fun and encouraging to go my hardest while working out. With my foot now broken, I wasn't sure what was going to happen now that I'm working out on my own again, with a fracture, eek. Well, last night (on my own) I pushed myself as hard as I would have in any regular WOD, and woke up today feeling the best kind of sore all over. Incredible! So, all that being said, a huge THANK YOU to Crossfit Sanitas for supporting me through this. Can't wait to be back to running with the pack, and in the meantime, I'm loving being a part of this community.

Mario Alanis Medrano

Sanitas is extremely exciting. Each day tests different parts of both your body and mindset. The coaches are helpful and extremely motivational. The best workouts I have ever done!

Burl Amsbury

Inclusive, supportive, knowledgeable staff. Great space. Solid equipment.

joshua rollins

This place is building more than a gym- they are building a community. I've been active my whole life, but have never felt challenged like I have at Crossfit. I've been doing this for three years now and the changes to my body and strength are incredible. Everyone has heard the horror story or seen the crossfit fail videos where people have no clue what they are doing and end up hurt. This is the best coaching staff I have ever been around. bar none. Every single one of these guys works hard to make sure you are safe and challenged. I've been crossfitting for three years and in every class one of the coaches will stop me and correct my form or give me helpful advice. Every single class. This level of dedication and heart is unheard of. These coaches know me by name and know what my strengths and weaknesses are. But the amazing thing is, they know almost everyone by name. At a regular gym, I would go 2-3 times a week and never leave feeling challenged. I go five times a week here and never feel bored. ever. The facilities are great. Take a bootcamp session with these guys to learn the ropes. you'll never go back to a regular gym again.

Rory Barton-Grimley

I compete in powerlifting and my home gym is conventionally a powerlifting gym, but we shared space with a Crossfit outfit. So, when I moved to Boulder and found no powerlifting gyms I approached Crossfit Sanitas about training at their facility. They were more than welcoming and reasonable, allowing me to continue my training under their roof. The atmosphere is great, and they have plenty of equipment for training beyond Crossfit (bands for speed, strongman stuff etc..). Next up are the people. Every trainer I have met there has been extremely welcoming and encouraging. I recommend this facility to anyone I meet who is interested in participating in Crossfit in the greater Boulder area. Five stars.

Kevin Ford

Crossfit Sanitas is an excellent gym with an advanced level of coaching. Since my recent move away from Boulder, CO I've toured a variety of other Crossfit boxes and I realized how high my standards are when I compare all of them to Sanitas. The head coach of the gym, Caleb Diebolt, has a wealth of knowledge that is liberally shared with all the other coaches. Individual safety, efficient movement technique, and effective programming are top priorities as the entire staff makes an honest effort to treat every athlete as part of their friendly community. The most memorable characteristic of the Sanitas coaching team would definitely be their ability to recognize that every individual has a unique set of physical challenges. Whether its a mobility issue in the joints, a diet inquiry, or a movement pattern problem, the coaches are willing to discuss these personal barriers and help decide how best to address and work through them.

Adam Rothberg

I travel frequently for work and have visited at least 10-15 different CrossFit facilities across the country, even a few internationally. I can say, hands down, that CrossFit Sanitas ranks at the top of my list. The facility itself is clean, spacious, and up-to-date. The community is warm, welcoming, and serious about getting fit. What makes Sanitas superior to the majority of other boxes, however, are the programming and the staff. Caleb (co-owner and coach) is methodical and thorough in his approach. WODs are always varied and comprehensive. Every coach at Sanitas is extremely well trained; each is tuned in and very attentive to the individual needs of every athlete. Five stars for CrossFit Sanitas!

Paul Sussman

Sanitas is a great place with smart coaches who really care about getting you fit responsibly. You can go hard or easy as it is not intimidating and I believe they help you to fulfill your potential. I've been here for a year and a half .

Kara M

Crossfit Sanitas is the best workout EVER! I have been religiously WODing for 2 years with the Sanitas crew - the coaches are focused, creative and patient. The workouts are varied and the community is amazingly supportive. People of all ages (I'm 50) and sizes work out together and cheer each other on...always striving for their PRs.

Danit Cheistwer

The staff is amazing. Best CF gym in town; wonderful selection of classes to meet everyone's needs!

Julian Peterson

These guys know their stuff! Great coaches - Dwight and the gang really cater to everyone's needs and abilities and make it funnnn. I've been 8 months now, and don't want to stop because I feel great and energized!

Liati Huff

Phenomenal coaches, supportive community and lots of specialty classes in addition to the main WODs. The programming is challenging yet accessible, so any athlete at any level can reach their goals. I've been going a little more than a year, and I can honestly say that it's one of the best parts of my day!!

Bryan Martinez

The whole vibe is positive, fun and motivational. The workout is intense more than I'd ever do on my own. and very effective. The staff is so friendly and welcoming.

Emily Lehnert

I started working out at Crossfit Sanitas in January of this year. In 4 months, I already am seeing drastic results in my overall health, and body, energy level (and with being a nanny to 4 kiddos, I need much of it :)). This month, Crossfit Sanitas is doing a 30 day paleo challenge, and 24 days in, I am in the best shape and health I've ever been in. I love working out there, the coaches are excellent, the equipment and facility is top knotch, and I look forward to going in every day. I would definitely recommend giving Crossfit Sanitas a try, you wont be disappointed.

SuzAnn Brown

I am celebrating my one-year anniversary at CrossFit Sanitas this month. Joining this box has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. It’s life changing. I don’t know if I’ve ever felt stronger. I’ve gone down 2 pant sizes and my endurance levels have increased substantially. This box is special. Let’s start with the physical attributes. First, it’s HUGE compared to some of the other boxes I’ve seen. It doesn’t have that industrial garage feel. There’s plenty of room and equipment for everyone. It’s CLEAN. I really appreciate that. There are great locker rooms and they have massage on the premises. It’s INVITING. It can be intimidating to try a new place, but I find that Sanitas always welcomes everyone. Most importantly, is the staff. The coaches push you in a good way and are ALWAYS looking out for your form and safety. They are top-notch athletes and I trust them to help me reach my best performance. The programming is excellent. I’m never bored and always feel challenged. Added to the daily WODs (Workout of the day) are Barbell classes that help refresh your skills, Endurance classes and Gymnastics. I’d recommend trying all of them. The gymnastics program could be another review on its own. It’s transformative and adds the "sizzle to the steak". No other gym has what Sanitas offers. This is a true community. You are greeted at the door every time you walk in and you feel like you’re part of something. We all encourage each other to be better. There’s no other place like CrossFit Sanitas.

Amanda Paulson

I've been going to Sanitas for almost three years now, and can't say enough good things about it. It's the first gym I've ever gone to that has motivated me to go regularly, and where I've felt like part of a community. The coaches are top-notch, stay focused on form and doing movements correctly, and encourage members to push themselves past limits in a safe and supportive environment. The programming is excellent - both the regular WODs and the additional ones like strength, endurance, oly lifting, and gymnastics. The members are amazing people who come regularly, cheer each other on, and really get to know each other. And to top it off, the gym itself is beautiful, and the amenities like childcare, locker rooms, and the plunge pool are great perks. Going to this gym regularly has helped me get in the best shape I've been in in years, and made me better able to enjoy all the hiking/skiing/biking and other outdoor activities that are why most of us love Colorado.

Stacey Heronema

Best CF gym I have been to! :-)

Keath Harris

I started training at CrossFit Sanitas about 6 months ago. In that time, I have made huge gains in my fitness, strength, and self confidence. The coaching staff at CF Sanitas is the best I've had in my athletic career. They have helped me to push myself to be the greatest athlete I can be while keeping a priority on safety and technique. They understand that everybody is different and do a great job at catering to individuals strengths and weaknesses. The cold tub and onsite massages are also some of the great amenities that the box offers to its athletes. The community at CF Sanitas is awesome and keeps me motivated day in and day out.

Clare Bork

Second time trying cross fit and this place made it enjoyable. The instructor walks you through the movements which was great. I've noticed people don't really wear shirts here.

Jennie Star

I have been working out at Sanitas for a month and have already seen a change. Its a great place. I can honestly say that I am excited about going to the gym. I feel a sense of accomplishment when I finish a workout. Definitely worth a try. There is amazing motivation from the coaches and they really help with form and function. The base camp they offer is a great starting point because they walk you through many keys things in Crossfit. You shouldn't feel intimidated - everyone in base camp is in the same place as you. Check it out.

Steve Hatzis

Sanitas is an outstanding box in all aspects. The coaches (instructors) are knowledgeable, supportive and technical experts. The facility is the nicest, cleanest CrossFit you'll ever set foot in. Management actively solicits member feedback and promptly acts on suggestions. There's a wealth of nutrition, lifestyle and wellness information provided weekly (including frequent seminars with world class physicians and authors). There are multiple class tracks for those interested in specific focuses (strength, endurance, mobility, etc.). And the community of members are inspirational and quick to embrace new athletes. You won't find a better place anywhere to workout than Sanitas.

Jen B

CF Sanitas is a bright and open space to learn or continue crossfit. When I joined, the gym was still up and coming. Class size was manageable and instructors friendly. However, I left because class sizes were becoming massive. One on one instruction was less and less frequent. Multiple classes running at the same time overlapped and added to the confusion. Additionally, my fav coaches left, and a few of those remaining had a very "bro" attitude. They came across as cocky and arrogant instead of helpful and knowledgeable. It became increasingly frustrating and was no longer fun.

Susan Twetten

I love working out here. The coaching is superb: I always feel challenged and supported at the same time, and safety is their first priority. The community is so fun and supportive: I always feel encouraged to be the best version of myself and have fun doing so! I never considered myself an athlete before coming in here, and now it's an important part of my life. I'd encourage anyone considering CrossFit to get in to Sanitas ASAP.

Maddy

I've been to other CrossFit gyms in the past and Sanitas has offered a more supportive community with attentive, informative coaches. Never have I felt I couldn't do a workout - options for scaling are always available. I've been at Sanitas about 6 months now and it's brought my training to the next level... I mean, I'm doing the CF Open this Year! Sanitas has opened many doors and I'd recommend it to anyone interested.

Taylor Winger

Excellent.

Kristina Solheim

Prior to CrossFit I was an endurance junkie. I competed in triathlons in undergrad spending about 15 hours/wk training. I was also doing yoga and playing pick up soccer. I loved it, but it was also exhausting. I was convinced that the more time I spent training, the faster I would be. Yet I was plagued by all sorts of minor injuries. Plantar fasciitis, IT Band Syndrome, lower back pain, turf toe, knee pain. etc. etc. When I graduated and moved I was no longer able to keep up that amount of training. All I could do was run, and run, and run. And hate every second of it. I ran 6x/wk for at least an hour. My knees and IT band hated me. I was gaining weight because I was still in the mindset of - I work out so long that I can eat whatever I want. Needless to say I was unhappy with how I felt and how I looked. I moved to Boulder in December and was looking for a gym to join so that I could stop running so much. I saw CrossFit Sanitas was opening up and immediatley decided to go in for a free class. I had previously tried CrossFit out for a month a year before and had really enjoyed it. I was hooked immediately. For the six months I spent in Boulder, I lived at CrossFit Sanitas. The coaches and owners have created such a great community that exudes so much positive energy that I couldn't stay away. The coaches are diligent in correcting form, which I really appreciated, because I injur myself just walking down the hall. Being new in Boulder, CrossFit Sanitas was a fantastic way of getting to know people who I had things in common with. The coaches and athletes were all SO welcoming and encouraging. I never felt like I was being judged or that I wasn't up to par. I also really loved the ongoing discussion on the importance of nutrition at CrossFit Sanitas (be it Paleo, whole foods, or just less processed food) and the emphasis on getting stronger rather than losing weight. Having struggled with body image/weight for my whole life, this approach has worked out much better for me and I have developed a much healthier relationship with my body than I used to. Joining CrossFit Sanitas was one of the best decisions I have made for my body. I love how CrossFit is so challenging and dynamic. I am PRing on a regular basis. I can do more pullups now than I came even close to when I was 13, 30 lbs lighter, and a full time swimmer. I do fewer hours of cardio, yet find that I am faster. I have developed muscles in places I didn't even know muscles could exist. Most of all I love how it has brought fun back into my exercise regime. I now look forward to every time I get to do CrossFit, which makes all the difference in the world. I have since left Boulder and joined another CrossFit gym, but CrossFit Sanitas will always be my first CrossFit love <3

Best Crossfit around! The coaches are friendly, welcoming and excellent at teaching how to do the lifts and movements correctly. They teach drills and give modifications to help with your form and work up to the harder movements. The specialty classes that they offer are amazing and the facility is clean and well kept.

Comparing different Crossfit boxes, Crossfit Sanitas generally earns its reviews. The coaching staff is usually good. If you're new to Crossfit, you're less likely to get injured here than box classes you purchase from GroupOn. Sanitas gets good traffic relative to other boxes so the energy is usually good. A well-trafficked Crossfit box also means it's sometimes pretentious. Other boxes may exchange your dollar for more attentive coaching. In general, for $185+/month, you can have people yell at you and show you how to exercise with weightlifting plates. That makes sense some of the time. The rest of the time, you can save $100/month with another gym. For the regulars, it's a club predicated on money, not exercise. Some of the reviewers drank the kool-aid and could afford it.

They have classes on the half hour and all the equipment you need

I've been to over 20 CrossFit gym in the past 3 years, and to at least 50 health clubs over the past 20. This experience led to CrossFit Sanitas - the first gym to blend the best of both - fantastic CrossFit workouts w/ all the health club amenities (locker rooms, massage, child care, etc). It also has the best CrossFit coaching I've experienced, and a fantastic 10,000 square foot facility just W of 28th street on Arapahoe. (disclosure - as the owner, I'm just a bit biased!)

My wife and I moved to Boulder and joined Crossfit Sanitas in May of 2015 and this gym and community have been the absolute highlight of our time in Colorado so far. We travel for work so we've been to multiple Crossfit boxes across the US. Of the 12 gyms we've tried, nothing comes close to Sanitas. There's a reason why they were recently ranked one of the top 5 best Crossfit gyms in the United States. EVERY ONE of the coaches is top notch - they take their role seriously, the demo every move, they explain the goal of each exercise, they provide tons of personalized guidance, they focus of great form and safety first, they know everyone's names, and they always find ways to make the workouts fun. All the members are humble, fun driven, and find ways to encourage each other. The gym is massive, always spotless, well equipped, and in a very convenient downtown location with easy parking. They have one or more daycare options every day and our two girls (4 and 2 years old) now look forward to Crossfit almost as much as going to the park or pool. Crossfit Sanitas absolutely rocks!

I dropped into CF Sanitas this past Thursday and Friday as an out-of-towner only in Boulder for a few days. To start, let me just say that this box is 1) HUGE and 2) special. I've been to a bunch of boxes on the east coast and truly none of them have the same feel as Sanitas. It just seems like a happy and healthy place to be- what a CF box should be in its most ideal form. Beyond the impressive physical space (something like 10,000 sq feet w/ 10 Crossover Symmetrys, a huge rig, turf, platforms... the list goes on), the coaches and staff were incredible. Dwight (the head coach) was so helpful when I had to modify things because of my knee injury, and was likewise attentive and encouraging to all members of the two classes I attended. He clearly loves what he does, and that translated into an easy-going and welcoming atmosphere (despite the tough workouts). Wendy was likewise attentive and thoughtful, taking time to chat about my physical therapy after class and tape me up! In general, CF Sanitas made me feel immediately welcomed and paid such careful attention to me, the injured drop-in. I left feeling recharged and ready to dive back into CF after months of rehab and dragging my feet through individual exercises. In an environment like that, with the awesome team they have, it's no wonder they can make a difference in just a few short hours. Long story short- this is a special place that I highly recommend to anyone looking to join a healthy and happy community, and get really fit in the process. If I lived in Boulder it would be my second home. Anyone in the area is lucky to have them nearby! GO! p.s. they have Kombucha on tap. And barbell-wielding bear tank tops. you should buy both.

Dropped in several times while visiting a buddy in Boulder for 6 days. The coaches, staff, and all their members were very friendly. The coaching staff is second to none. They take you through a thorough warmup, then go through a solid strength workout, then break down the movements in the wod and teach the most efficient way to perform movements. Really enjoyed the workouts and meeting all the people. Would highly recommend this place for anyone living in Boulder and looking for a box or just dropping in while visiting.

Drew Slater

EXCELLENT STAFF AND GROUP WORK OUTS, AS A WORKING CHIROPRACTOR, THIS IS THE PLACE TO BE.

Anna Arenz

I did a competition at Sanitas and was very impressed with the facility, the quality and variety of the equipment they used, and the programing of the workouts. I imagine if competitions are run this well that classes are equally impressive.

Tom Nyiri

I go 3 days a week and love the gym, it's people and vibe. There is something there for anyone that wants to get fit, stay fit or just starting out with fitness. Thanks guys for making such a great place!!

Dave Walsh

I'm really loving my membership at Sanitas. The staff is smart, friendly and enthusiastic. I've taken classes/been coached/been worked on by Dwight, Tom, Jake, Mike, Laura, Antonio and Elisa directly and have had positive experiences with all of them. Something I really enjoy is the community and camaraderie built through the group workouts. The only ego in the gym is your own. Check it at the door and work out as hard as YOU can and you will see results.

Edward Wheeler

Our experience in the facility and with the top notch trainers has been terrific.Amazing equipment. Check it out. You will be pleased.

Angela Moss

Outstanding coaches that focus on form and accuracy of movement to increase performance. The coaches all have incredible knowledge of the numerous muscle groups and how they function, and they are all approachable and friendly. The facility is always clean and inviting and over all..the best gym in which I've been a member.

Daniel Epstein

Easily the best CrossFit gym in the state. The coaches are fantastic, I always leave feeling exhausted (in the best kind of way) and I can't imagine going to another gym. Can't recommend Sanitas more sincerely

Sanitas is not some garage-sized, dimly-lit crossfit box tucked away amidst some warehouses outside of town like most seem to be. Rather, the 10,000+ square foot facility is located in the center of Boulder stocked with all the toys you'd want, and then some. And while that's all fine and dandy, the best aspects of Sanitas are the friendly and uber-knowledgeable coaches and the tight-knit community atmosphere. Coming to Sanitas from a globo gym, naturally I wasn't sure what to expect and was a little apprehensive. Those feelings were immediately squashed as I realized Sanitas coaches are constantly engaged in making sure each movement is completed with proper form and technique. I also immediately realized I could never go back to a globo gym again due to the fact that I would never get as good a workout there as I would at Sanitas. My one year anniversary at Crossfit Sanitas was yesterday (thanks for the email, guys!!) and I haven't looked back. There's no doubt I'm stronger, leaner, and in the best shape of my life since I've been here. Joining Sanitas was probably one of the best decisions I've ever made and I'm excited to see what I can accomplish at Sanitas in 2014.

Ann Kasunich

Crossfit Sanitas is a phenomenal place. The coaches are fantastic, the atmosphere is welcoming and supportive to all fitness levels, and the community is strong. Crossfit Sanitas offers a holistic approach to fitness and longevity, which means a lot to me. I love continuous improvement and accomplishing PRs, while also building my health and fitness for the long term. Workouts are always a highlight of my day - everything in my life is better with Crossfit Sanitas!

I was in Boulder for my sisters wedding and I was staying at the Marriot, which is conveniently within walking distance to Crossfit Sanitas. I was immediately greeted by Cole when I entered, and he helped set me up with a class. The class was led by Coach Stacey, who thoroughly explained and demoed each movement. I was partnered up with Eric (owner) who was an incredibly nice guy with a true passion for what he does. As a crossfit coach (Texas), I give this box two thumbs up! Great coaches, great atmosphere, clean, professional, and solid programming. If you are in the Boulder area, definitely give these guys a go!
