Happy Clients
“I'm not a gym person but I do love my workouts at Vitruvian Fitness because of the people. I love the assessment, setting goals, and the gentle "coaching" to keep improving without feeling like I'm actually working harder at it. For those who live in the Highlands neighborhood of Denver, this location in Wheat Ridge is a quick drive away (about the amount of time you might spend looking for parking to workout in the Highlands).”
Mindy Sink
"At Vitruvian you get more than just someone taking your money, yelling at you to do things, and then forgeting about you. Every workout is made to fit the individual not to mention the trainers will always find a way to motivate you to work harder and get what YOU need. I love the people that come here. It's not a contest, not a gun show, it's cool people getting together to become even cooler. I could go on but really just come join us and see!!!"
Lisa Norman
"The trainers and facilities are incredible and they all care deeply about your whole-body health, not just about hard workouts; they focus on proper movement and have helped me progress from hardly able to do anything because of back and hip injuries to a place where my flexibility and strength have stabilized my core."
Seth Tucker
“A gym that cares! Vitruvian Fitness has an informed and educated staff that truly cares about their mission of improving clients health and lives. I love how they are able accommodate all clients no matter where they are starting from--scratch or professional athlete, injured or fully able-bodied. Their attention to form, goals, and client feedback is something I have never experienced at any other gym. And they go out of their way to foster a sincere sense of community among their patrons--I've never hit a gym-organized happy hour before VMFit!”
Shannon Sturtevant
I couldn’t be happier with my choice to start training at Vitruvian. I’m about a month into my program and I already feel the difference. The trainers are so friendly and helpful and they cater your workout to you and your specific circumstances. I am a mom of two little ones so it can be tricky to find the time to workout but Vitruvian has a great schedule with early morning workouts that fit my needs. In the past I was always hesitant to try a personal trainer because a lot of places were intimidating but the atmosphere here is warm and inviting! I highly recommend giving it a try!

Performance News
“Doing cardio.” What even does that mean? For some people, it’s hopping on the rower, bike, sled, ski erg, treadmill, or elliptical—checking the box for however long Tom said to do it, then sneaking out before anyone asks questions. Others train for sanity. It helps manage stress, clear the mind, and release a flood of feel-good chemistry. And then there are those training for performance—to win races, set PRs, and push personal limits. All of this is cardio. And yet, when you zoom out and look at the data, it becomes clear that cardiovascular fitness does something that has a very measurable outcome: it extends your lifespan . And while we’ve all heard that cardio is good for your heart, most people don’t realize just how deep that benefit runs. And like much of science, the broader public often benefits from the insights that trickle down from elite performance research. So whether you're reluctantly doing cardio or chasing sanity, you’re tapping into the same physiological systems that turn podium-seekers into podium winners.
Question: “How do I select a weight for an exercise, and when should I go up?” We get this question literally several times every single day. And the answer isn't just “go heavier.” The answer is: it depends. Heavier is better—when heavier is appropriate. Sometimes you should go lighter and move faster. Sometimes you should go longer with the same weight. Sometimes you shouldn’t lift at all. Smart weight selection is about clarity, context, and responsiveness. Here’s how we think through it: 1. Is the Movement High-Quality? Before anything else, we ask: Are you doing the movement well? This is Phase 3 work— movement mastery . If you’re still learning the pattern, ironing out inefficiencies, or rebuilding capacity post-injury, weight selection should support technical precision. That means: Moving in clean lines Feeling the right muscles Owning each rep from start to finish
A prostate cancer diagnosis can feel like a loss of control. Treatments like hormone therapy or radiation are often necessary and effective, but they can come with side effects that chip away at quality of life — fatigue, muscle loss, weight gain, anxiety, and more. But there’s a growing body of research that points to something powerful you can control: your strength. Strength Training as a Therapeutic Tool Over the past decade, studies have consistently shown that regular, structured exercise — particularly strength training — can improve outcomes for men with prostate cancer. Here’s what the science tells us:
And How We Get You There In my experience as a personal trainer and strength coach, most people who walk through our doors don’t arrive with crystal-clear goals on their first day. They don’t know which muscles to train or which mobility restrictions to fix. They might know a few exercise names, but they’re unsure how to do them properly—or how it all fits into a bigger plan. But they do know one thing: They want to bridge a fitness gap and feel better about how they move and how they feel about themselves. Generally, people will tell us they want to be: Stronger—even if they can’t quite define that. More confident—even if it’s been a long time since they felt that way. More energetic and more at home in a body t hey’re proud of. Ask around and you’ll hear the same hopes over and over again: “I want to trim this midsection.” “I want to stop tweaking my back.” “I want to hike, bike, and ski without needing two days to recover.” “I want to keep up with my kids—or my grandkids.” “I just want to feel like me again.”
The 7 Phases of Functional Strength Training That Drive Long-Term Results How We Actually Build Strength That Lasts You probably know that showing up at the gym with no plan is a recipe for frustration. And you know that real change—lasting change—doesn’t come from combining random exercises you did in high school PE with random cardio sessions (besides me, who even does cardio, anyway?). Lasting change comes from following a smart, structured training system. At Vitruvian Fitness, we’ve designed a progressive roadmap that takes you from wherever you are right now—and moves you forward, phase by phase, skill by skill, strength by strength.
Supplements can be useful. Sometimes they’re even necessary. But figuring out if , when , and why you should use them is a more complicated question than most headlines, influencers, or supplement companies want to admit. In a perfect world, we’d get all the micronutrients, minerals, and performance-optimizing compounds we need from real food, sunlight, sleep, and clean living. In the real world, though—where stress is high, schedules are full, and food quality varies—strategic supplementation can fill gaps, enhance recovery, improve long-term health, or support performance. But here’s the problem: the supplement space is a minefield. Outdated “bro science,” influencer hype, fairy-tale claims, and straight-up lies have created a noisy mess that makes choosing the right supplement— if you even need one—much harder than it should be. And remember: no two bodies are exactly alike. Your age, gender, activity level, medical history, diet, goals, and lifestyle all influence what your body might be missing (or absorbing poorly). Supplementation isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution—it’s a strategy . That strategy should begin with lab work, conversations with qualified professionals, and clear priorities. Disclaimer : This guide is not medical advice or a prescription. It’s an information tool designed to help you better understand what supplements may—or may not—support your personal health, performance, or longevity goals. Before starting any new supplement, consult with a qualified healthcare or functional nutrition professional, especially if you have preexisting conditions, take medications, or are managing complex health goals.
