I was at a point in my life when I was ready and had the time to get into a more focused physical activity but I was nervous about joining a regular class. I knew people at the gym who assured me I could go and adapt the workout to my level but I was still nervous as I hadn't worked out consistently in years and never at a gym like this. I was told about the women's class so I gave it a whirl. It was exactly what I was looking for. There were a couple of ladies aged 50+, a couple of ladies who brought their babies, and a couple of us who were a few years postpartum but just getting back into it. Everyone was very supportive and encouraging and the workouts were challenging but not scary! The coach, Emma, is awesome at adapting the workout to meet you where you are with the guidance to increase difficulty when we're coasting a bit :) And she is always watching to ensure correct form is being used to avoid any injury. After a month or two with this class I had the confidence to jump into a MetCon class when I couldn't make my regular women's group. And everyone was right at the get-go, I could've started in a regular class as all the same support is there, but I do still really enjoy our regular Women's group and prioritize fitting that into my weekly routine. I'd highly recommend joining us!

I have been coming to this gym for the past 4 years. Absolutely the best place to work out with supporting coaches and members. Kudos to the owner Andrew who has done a fantastic job in creating a great place to work out in Aurora!

Amazing family-owned gym with great sense of community. Gym is very spacious, and workouts are always challenging and fun. I was hesitant to join at first because I had almost no experience with weightlifting, but thanks to the great coaching and support, I am now 1.5 years in and going strong!

Amazing Gym. Great for athletes in any sport looking to increase their explosiveness or endurance. The training here significantly increased my output in Muay Thai. As well as preparing me for the physical tasks in my career in Fire Fighting. from a personal perspective, it’s given me better fundamental techniques that sometimes benefit me outside of the gym and in life in general.

The Validus team is so supportive and works with you to ensure proper technique is used to ensure you get the maximum benefit from each workout. I have been going there for 7 years - it is a great place to workout and you are part of a community.
