This is, hands down, the best gym I have ever been to. I primarily do strongman training, and while the gym is not tailored for that, there are enough implements for me to practice for certain events I would see in competition. To add to this, Eric (the owner) is amenable to equipment suggestions to add to the gym, which is really great to hear. All of the other equipment is stellar, as well. There are a wide range of specialty bars, plate-loaded machines, and other equipment that are in good condition and well maintained. The 24-hour access is another bonus to add. Finally, the environment the gym fosters is the best I've experienced, too. Everyone is friendly, helpful, and supportive. I've had bad experiences in other gyms since I used to deal with commercial and college gyms; I have yet to experience a moment like that here. I would 100% recommend anyone that does powerlifting, weightlifting or strongman to become a member at Elevate.

I've now been going to this gym for almost a year. I do primarily body conditioning and Strengthening for work and I have all the equipment I need right here.
The owner and other actual professionals that go here are kind and welcoming, and are always to help out when needed!
If you're actually serious about getting stronger, leaner, or meaner. This is the place to go. I cannot recommend small business gyms enough. If you're in fort collins and need a professional gym. This is it. You're home.

I have nothing but positive things to say about this gym. It is clean. The equipment is top-notch. The people are kind and supportive. I don’t think I would have stuck with my gym routine as much as I have were it not for the environment at Elevate. Let me explain…
I started powerlifting back in March 2021. The pandemic hit me hard and I was in a space of really wanting to take control of my mental and physical health. I was NOT all that physically strong or confident in what I was doing when I started out. On top of that, gym spaces can be very intimidating and somewhat predatory at times. Elevate is not like that AT ALL! Everyone is incredibly welcoming (will actually greet you as you walk in) and supportive. If you ever need a spot, people are there for you. If you are trying a new or heavy lift, everyone will quite literally stop what they are doing to cheer you on (I’ve seen it happen. Multiple times. It’s really inspiring and empowering). The community here is great! When folks give me advice, it is obvious that they care and want to see me succeed. I still feel like a newbie, but I have always felt welcomed and accepted. I highly recommend this gym to anybody interested in lifting and looking for a good community to support you while ya do.

Elevate is a top-notch training facility for powerlifting. Not only does it have all the equipment you need to get strong; it is a positive, fun, and safe space to train. This is not a typical bro gym- this is a place with athletes of all levels who encourage each other and create a supportive community. I've had the pleasure of competing here with programming by the owner, Eric. I couldn't recommend Elevate enough- Fort Collins is lucky to have such a great gym.

I started lifting back In January and Eric was super welcoming! Everyone has been very supportive. I decided to take my training to the next level and now work one on one with Natalie. Eric and Natalie made this process very smooth! This is such a judgement-free zone and I love the community of lifters that go here. It’s a great place for new lifters to learn the ropes in a comfortable friendly environment.

Great facility for sport training, powerlifting, weightlifting, and bodybuilding. Elevate is equipped with all of the equipment and knowhow that a novice or seasoned athlete could possibly need. Inside you'll find everyone from first-day lifters to multiple-time world champions. Everyone is welcoming. No elitism here. Eric and the team at Elevate Barbell are absolutely top-notch. I highly recommend training here if you are a serious athlete looking to step up your strength and conditioning, they have something for everyone.
