Whenever I’m in town, I always do a drop in. Great atmosphere and great people! 18+ years of doing CrossFit and I’ve dropped into a lot of gyms in a lot of different places. Coaching is always what separates the good from the bad. Walt and Lauren are so dedicated and passionate about what they’re doing, it makes the exhaustion worth it. Thanks as always! Less

I’m a newbie to CrossFit & Brian made me feel confident & comfortable going into our back squat intervals. I will gladly take his classes in the future:) AND the gym itself is so clean & well laid out . Less

Liv is an excellent coach. I really appreciate her attention to detail and the corrections I receive regarding form. It's important to me to lift correctly to avoid getting injured. I really enjoy her classes! Less

My first time doing a Crossfit workout! Liv was awesome, everyone in the class was really cool and uplifting - highly recommend this class to get stronger! Less

Awesome job. Super knowledgeable and your ability to communicate goals for body mechanics and movements was top notch. Seems everything y’all have going is professional and dialed. Looking forward to next time! Less

The coaches do a great job providing modifications to those who may have injury, who may not be as advanced in that movement area or just need a modification. They are attentive to all members, complimenting what they are doing well, or tweaking what they may need work on. They’re also encouraging during the workout. I love how they are all so attentive, to the athletes needs. If you’re a beginner or a seasoned athlete, this is truly a great place to be. Great atmosphere, and community! Less

Love this gym and love these people. All the coaches are strict about form and are really looking out for everyone. They are great at modifying any movement to work for your body and skill level. I love the gym community and have met some really cool people who I probably never would have crossed paths with. Less

Fortitude Fitness is the best! With nearly 20 years working with personal and group fitness coaches, I can confidently say these are the best coaches I’ve worked with. They are knowledgeable, friendly, and truly care about my success. Their focus on technique and form to prevent injuries is unmatched. Highly recommend! Less

Fortitude Fitness is a great CrossFit Gym that will not only make you feel welcomed, but also safe and educated!I joined The Fort family back in April through the foundations class. This class helped me to really understand many of the standard movements and exercises that are woven into the CrossFit workouts, making me feel much more comfortable with attending a general class. Not having much background in the gym world, CrossFit can feel intimidating, but after taking the foundations class, I felt better equipped to at least attempt it.Six months later, not only am I still going, but I am truly enjoying the experience, challenges, and benefits. I have been able to learn things about myself physically, that I would have never thought I could accomplish. The classes here are a great way to push yourself, build strength and coordination, and see changes in your physical fitness, as well as your mental!The classes are structured in a great way to warm up, practice certain movements, and then push your self in a workout.I really appreciate the coaches, because they take the time to help guide and teach through all aspects of a workout, so that you can continue to grow in your abilities and strength. The coaches will also help you to design goals specific to your interests, but there is also no pressure, if that's not what you are looking for.Some of my favorite perks are the partner workouts, strength building cycle classes, and of course the gym family! Everybody here is extremely welcoming for anyone at any fitness level. I have never felt any judgement, only encouragement and understanding! I've also made some new friends and connections. It's always nice to see familiar faces and have a conversation with them. It's also great to welcome and encourage new faces to the crew!I would highly recommend this gym for anyone wanting to find ways to better their general fitness, grow stronger and healthier, and feel good about their time in the gym!

My husband and I were visiting Buena Vista and dropped into FF for a post Thanksgiving workout. The owner (Walt), coaches(Brian and Erin) and class participants were super accommodating and made us feel welcomed. Gym is well organized and equipped and WOD was well planned and coached. If we lived in Buena Vista we’d be members!! For now, best we can do is to look forward to drop in classes when our travels bring us back to the area. Check it out! 💪 Less

I joined CrossFit around May, as I had been curious for a long time. I’ve never been a gym person so I was a total newbie. I go now 3-4 times a week, it’s addictive. Every workout is different and I’m never bored. Everything is easily modified and I feel supported and coached. Truly, I feel like all the coaches and other athletes there are the best hype team ever. It’s a very welcoming place! Less

I can’t say enough about the positive experiences I’ve had at The Fort. From the attentive coaches to the dynamic athletes this gym checks all the boxes. Thanks for the fitness and fun! Less

Really great gym! Knowledgeable coaches and friendly attitudes from all the members. I just dropped in and felt welcomed. I will be back next time I’m in BV. Less

I never thought CrossFit was for me until I joined Fortitude Fitness. On a postpartum whim and a little encouragement from my sister, I decided to try the Foundations Class, and now, nine months later, we're both thriving in our fitness journeys! What truly sets Fortitude Fitness apart is the welcoming atmosphere and the incredible sense of community. The flexible class times fit perfectly into our busy lives, making it easy to stay committed.The coaching staff is exceptional—supportive and intentional in their training approach, they genuinely care about each member's progress and well-being. It has been the perfect compliment to my trail running, I've not only gained strength and endurance but I've also have been able to recruit ladies to run and hike with and continue those friendships outside of the gym. Fortitude Fitness has transformed my perspective on fitness, and I can't recommend it enough! If you're looking for a place to grow, learn, and feel empowered, this is it. Less

I can’t recommend this gym enough! They have the best coaches, that really focus on technique. I’ve seen such an improvement since I started at Fortitude. The community and attitude here is something special. I highly suggest dropping in and checking it out. Less

I love building strength and I love not getting injured in that pursuit. Top level coaching and workout programming is found here. This is where I find my tribe. Less

I’ve lived all over the country and this is one of the favorite gems I’ve ever worked out at. I was living in BV temporarily for six months and knew no one. After just a few classes, I felt a part of the family and looked forward to the workouts more so for the laughter and fun! The instructors are all so welcoming and fun with their own personalities, so much care is taken to ensure Everyone understands the movements and has proper form, and the people who go are genuine and down to earth. All ability levels welcome. I loved this gym and I’m sorry not to be able to go anymore as I live in a different part of Colorado! Less

I am relatively new to CrossFit and I am glad I found Fortitude Fitness! The coaches are experienced, attentive and supportive! Very happy to be a part of this great gym! Less

Love dropping into other crossfit gyms while traveling, and this was a great experience. Easy to register online, experienced coaching, beautiful clean gym and a friendly and welcoming community. Would definitely return. Less

Awesome gym with fantastic community! My husband and I dropped in several times while we were visiting from out of town. Walt and Brian were great coaches and took a lot of time talking good movement! The care they have for their members is what’s missing in a lot of CrossFit gyms. The members were also extremely welcoming to us. I highly recommend this gym to anyone traveling in the area or looking to join a gym. We will be back! Less

After a 5 year hiatus from CrossFit, I joined Fortitude almost a year ago, and it has been exactly what I needed. The programming and coaching are top notch, and the focus on movement specific warm ups and maintaining good form while still pushing to improve has been key to me staying healthy and not getting injured. I feel better than I have in a long time because of it, and would definitely recommend to anyone either new to CrossFit or experienced. The community is also amazing and we have met many new friends here. Less

Our family has dropped in at CrossFit BV several times now and we love it! Lauren and Walt are excellent coaches and everyone was so friendly just like our CrossFit fam at home!! We will always come here when we are in town!! Less

Sooo after 3 years of CrossFit workouts, I finally forced myself to drop in while I was traveling. I was simply afraid, intimidated…who knows of what?! Walt and his wife run a top notch facility! His instruction was clear, concise and he pushed for continued success/improvement throughout the workout. I was welcomed by all the members and coached with open arms; I could not have asked for a better “First time ever drop-in experience!” Definitely check out Fortitude if you are in BV! Less

My husband and I had a great experience dropping in at CrossFit BV! Walter, one of the owners, was our coach. We felt welcome, he tended extremely well to any modifications I needed 7 months pregnant, and the workout and community were engaging and fun with knowledgeable coaching. The space is super clean and organized as well. Very professional! Looking forward to coming back. Less

YES, just YES! Being a drop in can be a little awkward the first few minutes but not here. I dropped in on a Tue and Thur, the workout was detailed in their app the night before so I knew what I was getting into. Once class started at 6am Christian (the coach) had us all introduce ourselves and say our favorite fruit. Icebreaker, great job man! Christian and all the members were fantastic. From warmup to cool down we did it as a community and the instruction for all of it was top notch. Walt gave multiple scaling options for each movement so everyone in the class was successful. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Seriously y’all (Texan), drink lots of water and be ready for some breathing issues. Elevation isn’t an excuse, it’s the real deal. P.S. After the first day I got an email for $10 off my next drop in. Less

Dropped in during a quick weekend trip to Buena Vista and had such a great experience! It’s such a nice indoor/outdoor space with very welcoming owner and members. Less

Incredible experience at Fortitude. Walt is an amazing coach and owner. Extremely knowledgeable, and will really focus on each person. He also makes the class fun while pushing you to want to do more. In just a short week I was able to feel part of the community. Will drop in whenever I am in town! Less

We were in town visiting family. Location was great, easy to find. LOVED the outdoor rig! Coach was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. Everyone was very welcoming. Loved the t-shirt I brought home! Thank you for having us! Less

Great atmosphere with excellent coaches that are motivating and mindful about technique and longevity. Fun place to workout with lots of positive vibes. Highly recommend if you’re a local or for a drop in! 💪💪 Less

This gym and the coaches truly care about your progress and will push you to do your best, sometimes way beyond what you personally thought was possible. Highly recommended! Less

Walt and Lauren have built a great gym with an amazing atmosphere that is inclusive and for everyone. Sign up for the foundation class, it's the best way to learn what Fortitude is all about. Less

Not only do we finally have a CrossFit gym in BV, but it's top-notch. Great owners & coaches that know what they're doing, and go the extra distance to help their clients stay healthy, strong & in the gym. Less

Love this crossfit gym! Walter and Lauren are great coaches and are willing to work with if you for anything you might need to scale or change up in a work out! The people here are friendly and welcoming! Less

Been to quite a few boxes and this one is at the top. Small but has everything you need. Great group of people too. The owners are husband and wife and know their stuff inside and out. Highly recommend. Brand new and clean. Less
