Captions<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Between commuting to and from work, time with family and fitting in some daylight hours to enjoy our beautiful Colorado surroundings, there are a lot of things that can stand in the way of an indoor gym workout.<\/p>\n<p>Anyone not in a regular workout routine can come up with plenty of excuses about why, but Colorado 24\/7 Fitness believes that hitting the gym shouldn\u2019t be a hassle or an obligation \u2014 that\u2019s why it has designed a membership that offers convenience and variety.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat we try to do is diminish those excuses by providing five locations and access 24 hours a day,\u201d said personal trainer Nate Rand. \u201cAnd our group classes are phenomenal when it comes to variety.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>By connecting with each and every member who walks through the door, Rand said the vibe at all five Colorado 24\/7 Fitness locations \u2014 in Basalt, Glenwood Springs, New Castle, Silt and Rifle \u2014 is welcoming and encouraging. And for $50 a month, he thinks there isn\u2019t a gym anywhere on the Western Slope that can match the value.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Covering every fitness niche<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>These days, fitness studios that focus on one specific niche \u2014 indoor cycling, yoga, barre, boxing, weight training, HIIT and others \u2014 have become the norm. Someone who\u2019s interested in more than one of these styles of workouts might have to get memberships to multiple places just to fit it all in.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have every bit of that under one of our roofs for $50 a month,\u201d said personal trainer John Bennett. \u201cAdd in our phenomenal spa services, chiropractors, physical therapy and personal trainers \u2014 there\u2019s truly nothing like it in this area.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Group classes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>From yoga to body pump to cycling to strength and endurance classes, Colorado 24\/7 Fitness wants its members to have workout options. Rand said classes cater to all age groups and levels, and they even offer senior-targeted Silver Sneakers workouts.<\/p>\n<p>Grit and Pump classes offer high intensity interval training and high repetition weight training, while other strength and conditioning classes might focus on working out with certain equipment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere can be a lot of frustration trying to find a place that has all of these options and services, so we try to offer all of it in one place,\u201d Rand said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>No excuses<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In the Roaring Fork Valley, most people do not live where they work. With locations throughout the valley \u2014 near both work and home \u2014 Colorado 24\/7 Fitness is trying to help people make a healthy lifestyle as important as earning a paycheck.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo have that 24-hour access and all of these locations, you can work out before work, during lunch, after work \u2014 whenever you choose,\u201d Rand said. \u201cWe try to connect and unify our gyms in our motto, which is \u201cCome Join Us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One-on-one personal training sessions can help members figure out the psychological side of working out, which Rand said is often one of the biggest reasons people fall out of a regular routine.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe can dial in and find out what\u2019s preventing them from getting to the gym,\u201d Rand said. \u201cAre they in a certain mindset or do they just need extra guidance or knowledge? That\u2019s what our trainers and employees are there for.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>By making sure the doors are open and providing services, expertise and a welcoming atmosphere, Colorado 24\/7 Fitness is always there for its members.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLife happens, people change, people get out of routines, they get a new job, etc. When it\u2019s time to go back to a gym routine, we have a comfortable place,\u201d Bennett said.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.postindependent.com\/news\/a-gym-that-helps-members-shed-excuses-sponsored\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Post Independent<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dumbells at 24\/7 Fitness.
