Where do I start…I joined BOLDT back in October of 2024 after I had moved from Nashville where I had been doing reformer pilates for 3 years. I had hit a plateau and was really wanting to get back into strength training but felt clueless as to where to start. I came across BOLDT and saw that they offered a 2 week free trail. I was nervous as hell going into my first class but as soon as I met Russ and Charlie, I knew that I was in the right place. I was immediately welcomed into their family and I loved the small, strength focused classes. I’ve met so many amazing people through BOLDT and have never felt better about myself after a year of working out with Russ and Charlie. The atmosphere is incredible and the classes are tailored to kick your butt and help you achieve your goals! Do yourself a favor and AT LEAST give the two week trial a go. You won’t regret it!

BOLDT is a great place to be if you want to challenge yourself and level up your strength training. The workouts are intense and will kick your ass, but equally important is the community of trainers and fellow participants who will encourage you to give your best effort. Russ and Charlie are the trainers I worked with the most, and their knowledge, humor and all-around good vibes make the workouts fun and enjoyable!

I feel so incredibly grateful to have found BOLDT Athletics - it’s truly been such a positive force in my life. Russ (the owner) and Charlie are both absolutely wonderful, and the community there is something really special. When I make it to class, it’s genuinely one of the best parts of my week. The environment is so encouraging and welcoming, and I always leave feeling stronger and more grounded. I love the workouts, the people, the energy - all of it.

If you're looking for a gym where you can cry, sweat, and question your life choices—all while getting absolutely shredded—this is the place. I came in barely able to lift a grocery bag; now I open pickle jars for my entire family.
The staff? Incredibly supportive. It's like being yelled at by angels who genuinely want you to succeed. The equipment is clean, modern, and only slightly intimidating (I’m looking at you, squat rack). The other members are friendly too—no one judged me when I fell off the rowing machine that one time… or the other time.
If you're thinking about joining, do it. You might lose some pounds, but you'll gain muscle, confidence, and possibly a new personality.
Highly recommend. Just don’t challenge the guy in the corner to a plank contest. Trust me.

Russell is exceptional! From his training methodologies, experience as a fantastic training coach, and overall leader in the gym space. I couldn’t recommend BOLDT enough to anyone looking to get started in fitness, ready to make progress, or just wants to find a home to push themselves with other great people. Look no further! This is your new home!

My 16-year old son plays competitive lacrosse and is preparing to play in college. We were referred to Russ by another family of athletes with amazing results after working with Russ so we thought we'd give his gym a shot. Best decision ever! My son loves going, is super motivated, loves being pushed and encouraged in a way he's never experienced before. He is seeing and feeling results and others have even noticed the difference in his strength, speed, footwork and confidence. Russ understands the balance of exercises our son needs and is delivering a top-notch and extremely well-rounded experience. Worth every penny!

Really enjoy being a part of a gym that feels like a community of friends to workout with and be challenged by! Probably the most welcoming place I have been a member of. As the gym has grown, they have created more options for class times and types! Come see what the hype’s about!!

I've been going to Boldt for a few weeks now and I love it! I feel amazing every time after I go. The group sizes are small which I like. Everyone shows up to work hard and is encouraging. Coach Russ is extremely welcoming and passionate about what he does. He really has created a great gym environment and dynamic. I look forward to building my strength at Boldt!

In 2000 I tore my MCL playing college soccer and then my career ended. I had surgery and continued with PT for several years following. I decided to take up running and although completed many tough races my knee continued to elicit serious pain. It seemed nothing would help strengthen it. In 2020 I decided to play a pick up soccer game and ended up dislocated the same knee. At this point I really gave up on the fact that my knee would be strong for any future physical “bucket list” goals. I felt defeated. Shortly after, I met Russ. And after an intentional evaluation and a set of exercise drills to commit to on a daily basis, I’m happy to report that I completed my first half marathon. This was post dislocation and I feel stronger than ever. Thank you Russ and Boldt Athletics for giving me a part of my life back.

Boldt Athletics is the first group training I’ve stuck with and enjoyed coming back to! The strength training is intense but fun, and the trainer always does a fantastic job of making sure your form is good to keep you from getting injured- and provides modifications when needed.
It’s also such a welcoming and supportive community!

Fantastic gym and community! I had a chance to go to a handful of the workouts and absolutely loved it. They were challenging, fun, and easy to scale up or down based on my experience. The other members were super fun and welcoming, and the coach kept things lighthearted while kicking our butts. 10/10 love it!

Can't say enough about the vibe from our next door neighbors. They'll soon be moving to new digs, BUT...If you're looking for energy with a vision, backed by kind hearted support that is actually from the Heart...Make sure you take at least ONE class from Russ and Boldt Athletics. #ThisIsHowWeWin

Russell is the best coach you could ever ask for! You're really missing out if you don't check this place out. I've done every type of gym program and this is my favorite by far. Workouts are fun, as intense as you want to make them, and everyone creates a supportive environment. The setup is also great because they can open up the garage doors so there's tons of fresh air and it's never stuffy like every other gym. Classes are small and the pricing is very reasonable and flexible.

I’ve done everything from 10 years of CrossFit, bodybuilding competitions, group exercise classes like OrangeTheory, barre, etc and Boldt is by far the best I have ever found. If you care about functional movement at any age and any stage in your fitness journey then you have to check this place out! You will keep coming back for a great workout and the absolute best community.

Amazing facility….AMAZING workouts! The atmosphere is positive, encouraging, and welcoming…being a smaller, private gym, it is more personal. The community of people are inspiring, the music is jamming, the coaches are giving personal feedback and adjustments during the workouts, it’s clean, and each workout/training is different leaving you never bored and always finishing feeling energized and challenged. Won’t go anywhere else and HIGHLY recommend!

The staff at Boldt Athletics are truly helping me to be my best self. I feel great during and after a session. The small group workouts are perfect for me. It allows me enough freedom to learn as I go during the session but I also have plenty of guidance when I need it. If you're interested in functional fitness definitely give this place a look. The first workout is free and the monthly plans are very affordable, especially when compared to competitors in the Wheat Ridge area. The warehouse and the space it provides are more than adequate and the equipment is modern and taken care of. This place is a stellar spot to spend an hour of your day training.

They are very sweet, good people. I just looked at the one star ratings and they look like scams. I wish Google would take those off. Seems like one angry jerk made a bunch of fake profiles and posted the same thing over and over. I just went here and they were professional and kind and the quality was great

Boldt is an amazing gym AND community. The small group fitness classes allow for personalized training approaches along with customized movements based on needs/limitations. Each class is different and keeps you on your toes (literally & figuratively). The owners and coaches are truly some of the most thoughtful people I know. They provide such a strong sense of community within our gym & amongst external local businesses and organizations. If you want a great workout and a feeling of belonging.... Come join us at Boldt!!

Russell and Matt do an incredible job at challenging us, creating dynamic workouts, and meeting each person at their level, limitations and all. Every workout I have completed with them has left me tired in all the right ways and really reinvigorated my fitness routines which had fallen into a bit of a rut. I’m consistently challenged here and, even on the days I’ve had to convince myself to go move my body, within minutes of walking into the gym, I’ve been rewarded by the great community of members and both Russ and Matt being genuinely kind and caring humans. Even beyond that, I have already noticed changes to my physique and am very much looking forward to the positive changes to come. I’ve worked with many trainers in the past and not always had the greatest or most individualized experiences. This is leaps and bounds different. Love the workouts, the trainers, and the opportunity to workout with the amazing Boldt family!

Boldt Athletics is an incredible place to follow through on your health goals and commitments. I love the small group classes and feel so much stronger after each session. The coaches are always super positive and upbeat, in a completely down-to-earth and non-smothering way ;-) and the members are extremely welcoming. Good times, good people and a great addition to the Wheat Ridge small business community!

I recently traveled thru Denver and stayed at an AirBNB. Had the opportunity to wander into this gym and was invited in for a free workout. The 1-star votes below - all given by what appears to be a "one post wonder," is an obvious ill-attempt to strike a meaningless blow to a small neighborhood business trying to breath some life into a suburban Denver neighborhood. Keep up the excellent work making your community better and taking care of your growing list of clients BOLDT! All my best wishes for your continued success. - Ski.

Rusty and the BOLDT fitness team are nothing but professional. They took the time to listen to the athletic needs of me and my wife, and really cared about getting us results!

I have nothing but positive things to say about Russ and his team over at BOLDT Athletics. I leverage his personal training services and could not be happier with how professional and structured his workouts are each and every time we have a session. If I happen to miss a session when out of town, he will build a program for me to go through on the Train Hero app in leu of being able to attend in person. I would refer BOLDT to anyone asking to up their fitness and overall wellness game.

My wife and I have been training with Russel for the past 6 weeks and couldn't be happier with the regimen or the results. He is knowledgeable, caring and attentive. He makes sure that we use proper form. He shows up at our home promptly at 7am. Prior to that he sends us our workout for the day via text, usually the night before. The workouts are amazing. Every week we do something different. He utilizes our equipment to create workouts that we can do when he is not here. We highly recommend Russel as a personal trainer as well as the Boldt Athletics Studio for group classes. As Russel always says, "Life Demands Training" and he is correct. If you need a Trainer, Russel is your man.
