This gym has changed my life. I have been a member for five months (Update: Now over 3 years!). I utilize personal training and mindset coaching with Ashley. These months flew by. I was able to stay strong during very difficult life battles with the help of Ashley. I highly recommend this safe place for anyone who is looking for somewhere to get their mind and body strong!

All of NEXUS’ coaches are incredibly informed, approachable, and engaged individuals. They create an encouraging and judgement-free zone that is unheard of for a public gym! They are available to answer any and all questions during the workout, and are there as supporters of your hard work. Regardless of your workout experience, NEXUS is a beautiful and safe place to explore movement and learn about your body.

Nexus was truly so helpful and supportive to me in my athletic journey. I came in wanting to get stronger and help prevent injury in my cross country and track training and it ended up turning into a true family for me. All the coaches are so knowledgeable and clearly care so much not only about you as an athlete but also as a person. I don’t know any other trainers that consistently go to their players games, matches, meets, etc. despite their busy schedules. Anthony helped train me through an injury free and super successful cross country season, and was the first coach to care enough to really look at my running form and help me figure out why I kept getting injured. I have never had such amazing coaches, that care about me that much and make me feel so excited to go workout. They also helped prepare me to go to basic training for the Air Force Academy and have had a major impact on my life. HIGHLY recommend going to Nexus with any of your athletic or fitness goals. I can guarantee you will not be disappointed!

This was an amazing class! Coach Marielle tailored the class towards my goals and focused on proper form and helping me achieve my goals. This was a challenging class, especially at the end- but I loved it! I felt extremely challenged and left feeling motivated to workout harder. Coach Marielle was also really easy to talk to and made the environment very welcoming. I would highly recommend NEXUS for a great workout and for support in helping you achieve your fitness goals.

Marielle offered amazing support, and guidance during my first Strength and Conditioning class. The environment was silly and fun, while also maintaining the goal oriented mindset, and promoted personal success. I really awed in how easy it was to get comfortable in the class and how inclusive everyone was. Truly enjoyed my time, even when being challenged.

Nexus is hands down the best gym I’ve ever been a part of. The energy, the community, and the quality of training here are fantastic. When I started at Nexus, I had worked out at several other independent and big box gyms in town, but I had never done barbell workouts before. Whether you're just starting out or you’ve been lifting for years, Nexus creates an environment where you feel supported, challenged, and inspired every time you walk in. The coaches are knowledgeable, approachable, and genuinely invested in your progress. They push you to hit your goals and help you lift safely and smartly. What truly sets Nexus apart, though, is the community. Ashley and Marielle foster a welcoming and motivating gym community filled with people who cheer each other on. Nexus is one of my favorite places to be!

I love the classes at Nexus. Marielle is a fabulous, low key coach! She takes the time to go over things when I forget them and walks through the class to make helpful pointers. I also like that she pushes me but also let's me be when I say I absolutely cannot do something due to health concerns.

I can't say enough good things about Nexus and the coaches there. The energy in this gym is palpable; always welcoming and great spirits. Marielle is a pro at pushing you to your next level (safely!) and Zach explains the mechanics of movements perfectly so you know what you're working and where you should be feeling the movements. Ashley is extremely thoughtful when helping set FMS plans and modifying movements as needed. I have felt endless support while here and am so happy I found this gym.

I came to Nexus after feeling overwhelmed and a bit defeated at large, corporate, overcrowded gyms in the area. Nexus’ coach-led classes have taught me correct form and technique, which has made me much more confident with weight lifting. Plus, the Nexus community members are uplifting and awesome, something that makes this gym unique compared to others. I’d recommend this gym to anyone looking for a one of a kind facility with killer work outs and a welcoming, fun, and respectful community!

The products they offer are mainly cross-fit routines, although I could be wrong about this. This is what I gather from talking to other people about what they do at their gyms. They also have weightlifting, lifestyle, and mindset programs. I am just learning about this and have not attended any strictly weightlifting classes. I tried to attend one once but I guess I was not qualified to join it. I have yet to understand the leveled structure, it's kind of difficult to understand how it all works if you are just looking at the website, but Ashley is always available to answer questions so I know when I am ready to make the move she can give me all the details. I’ve been very happy with the level one courses that I have been taking. I have learned basic etiquette and safety as well as gotten much stronger and made serious improvement to some glaring imbalances that I’ve long worked with in my body. I still need to take their fundamental movement breakdown course so I can have a better idea about what I am doing but the movement wisdom I have gained from Ashley when she teaches is invaluable, and Marielle’s easy going enthusiasm is always a pleasure to be around. Note: I think they have added a lot of classes that beginners can jump right into, like flexibility, and yoga, but I’ve yet to try any of these. I do ISO movements level 1, and strength and conditioning. I am part of the Latisha Hardy dance team and that is how I came to be associated with the gym. All in all very easy community to be a part of, I plan on sticking around.

What an amazing community of supportive and welcoming gym goers! After decades of working out at home, it’s been awesome to have trainers correct my form and show me safer alternatives to moves.

I have been doing Personal Training with Ashley for a few weeks now, and all I can say is WOW!!! I came into this with a shoulder injury, and I felt like I had no control when I was dancing. I have gained more feeling and control in my shoulder and I feel like I am more stable inside my dancing and when I'm in the gym. I can't wait to continue my training with Ashley! I highly recommend!!!

This place is awesome. The owner-coaches are always around, easy to talk to, and believe that fitness and movement are for everyone. They're focused on building a supportive community and keeping everyone injury-free and I feel that every time I'm there. They're great at coaching through complex lifts while also making lifting accessible to first-timers. Wish I could give more than 5 stars.

After being recommended by a friend & an invitation to try a class, NEXUS is what I was looking for. NEXUS has created a safe & inclusive fitness community. Although I started my health & fitness journey almost 10 years & have been a member at NEXUS since June 2023, I appreciate the coaches at NEXUS because I have continued to learn new movements, techniques & they have helped me make adjustments so that I continue to train injury free. Many thanks to Marielle & Ashley in helping me continue in my fitness journey!

I have been coming to Nexus for just over a year. In that amount of time, I've been able to gain healthy exercising habits from weight lifting to strengthening and conditioning.

I love this gym! I started attending classes at Nexus over two years ago because I was looking to get in better shape. What I found was a supportive community and a safe place to learn new skills in strength and conditioning. I learned that weight lifting can be fun and as I continued to show up, I gained more confidence in my abilities. Ashley and Marielle live out their mission of serving a community through fitness. They have created a welcoming environment where I feel like I belong. I’m grateful to have found Nexus and made fitness a part of my life.

This is the first gym where I haven’t felt intimidated or nervous about doing Olympic lifting. Ashley and Marielle are patient and detailed coaches and I’ve learned so much from both of them.

I’ve seen so much progress and strength gains in only 3 months. I highly recommend Nexus for fun, inviting vibe and serious results.

Recovering from injury and having never done weight lifting before, I was hesitant, but I needn't worry at all: NEXUS has been a wonderful place, where everyone from the coaches to the members being so welcoming and encouraging.

The coaches very much prioritize education and injury prevention, both a high priority for me. They've been incredibly patient in teaching and have accommodations always at the ready. They meet you where you are, breaking things down to be approachable, and provide just the right encouragement so you can challenge yourself.

I've only done a couple of classes so far but I've always left feeling supported and proud of the work I was able to do with them - so much so that I felt inclined to leave a review. Thanks for all you do!

*** 5 month update ***

Been going here 2-3 times a week for the past 5 months and everything has remained true from my last review - great facility and even more wonderful folks. Marielle and Ashley truly care about everyone's well-being and it really makes a difference. No matter what kind of day I'm having, I know that I'll always leave NEXUS with a smile on my face. Thanks so, so much!

Hands down the warmest and most welcoming gym atmosphere I've ever encountered. NEXUS has an incredible coach/owner/motivator/friend who goes above and beyond what should ever be expected. Highlights include ample 1:1 coaching, extensive practice dedicated to each exercise, strict attention to safe movements, a welcoming environment for people of EVERY level and background.

I tried other gyms when I moved to Colorado Springs and couldn't find a place that wasn't ultra competitive and I was hurting myself trying to keep up. At NEXUS, I was accepted on day 1, where I am, and encouraged to do better without hurting myself to reach unrealistic markers. And Marielle lets me whine about running, knowing I am still glad to be there 🙂 Couldn't ask for a better place!

Picture this: You just moved to a new city away from your partner to start a new job. You’ve been eating chili cheese fries in bed to cope with your depression, and you realize it’s been harder to walk up stairs lately without getting winded. You’d like to blame the fries, but honestly, you’ve let yourself go. You’re hesitant to start at a new gym, because (A) deep-seeded insecurities about how far you’ve let yourself go from your healthiest point and (B) fear of not finding a community that supports you in your fitness journey. Yea, duh, this was me.

Enter Nexus: Nexus was everything I needed and more to get back to a healthy routine. Marielle and Ashley are knowledgeable, supportive, and awesome trainers. The classes are small, so they help correct form and constantly monitor individual progress. Marielle challenges you to push yourself (safely) outside of your comfort zone. She calls me out if she knows that I could go up in weight, which I feel like I need. I always leave dripping sweat and feeling like I dominated a hippo in a fight. In case you didn’t know, hippos are tanks.. so there.

It’s such an inclusive community, and everyone is always hyping each other up! It’s going to sound cliche as all hell, because every person that reviews this gym will tell you it’s more than just a gym. It’s so true though! I started going for my health, but I stayed for the 5:30AM family. Anyway, come fight hippos (or your inner demons or whatever) in morning classes. If you’ve gotten this far in the review, then it’s probably because you’re really considering it now. Your therapist would probably suggest you go. We’ll be there waiting!
