Wonderful gym: always clean, plenty of plates and racks to work with, and great selection of machines. Staff are very friendly and the general atmosphere is one that makes you feel comfortable. Enjoy training here!

I joined Gym Number Five this summer, and I have found it to be a fantastic gym for anyone interested in strength sports/strength training! They are extremely well-equipped -- I use equipment for powerlifting and olympic weightlifting, but there is also a ton for strongman and bodybuilding.

I also find the staff to be very welcoming and helpful, and the overall atmosphere of the gym is awesome (which I think makes my workouts much more enjoyable). Definitely recommend checking out if you are in the area!

First of all, I'd like to say that Russ (the owner) is great. The community is great. The equipment is high quality, niche, and very well-maintained.

That having been said, ever since Russ outsourced the billing to a 3rd party service, it has been a complete nightmare to deal with, insofar as I went to cancel my membership due to the issues. Russ used to have a very personal touch with members and operations, but I'm sad to report this is no longer the case.

Case in point, I went to cancel my membership close to three months ago and they have made me jump through hoops to get it done. I'm used to this type of treatment from commercial gyms (as making it nigh on impossible to cancel membership is part and parcel of their business model), but expected better from a boutique gym like Gym No 5. I get that Russ is a busy guy and doing billing by hand for each member is no longer reasonable to expect given the stage of the business, but he needs to find a better vendor.

Left with no further recourse, I had to begrudgingly initiate a fraudulent charge dispute with my bank in order to get any resolution. It's a damn shame that our relationship together is ending on this sour note after having been a happy member for many years, having spent many, many thousands of dollars for the privilege. Hope you see this Russ and make the necessary changes.

Absolutely fantastic gym that is meticulously kept. Did 2 drop in passes which were seamless to set up. Gym size is great and the equipment is top notch. Barbells, power racks, cable machines, DBs were all some of the best i have used.

Been training here for years and they’re always tweaking the layout and adding equipment to respond to athlete’s needs — it’s a great vibe where it’s easy to train hard!

This gym has truly disappointed me in the way they have handled a cancellation of membership. My 15-year-old daughter was trying out gyms since CAC closed. Gym#5 told her that she could cancel her membership with 30 day notice. They won’t honor that promise and pass it on to an agency that handles their payments. I am a small business owner and I don’t understand this. Their responses sound pre-written in legalease, making me surmise it’s something that frequently comes up. We are pursuing our legal options, but more importantly, they should just be good people. Is this really how you treat people?

After reading your response I can only say that it's such beautiful language for such an ugly way of dealing with your customer. I can assume that you're probably very financially stressed, but that shouldn't warrant your threats or tactics. And btw, I do hire professionals, but not the type you do. My daughter feels so guilty about believing Gabby when told she could cancel the contact with a month notice. My daughter went to gym for 3 days and we’re expected to pay nearly $800 to get out of the contract. What kind of business does this to a child?

This gym is awesome! Russel, the owner, knows what he's doing and constantly strives to make the place better and better. The people are great, the equipment is the best you can find, and the training atmosphere is welcoming and positive. Whether you're an athlete, powerlifter, strongman, bodybuilder, or just starting out, this is the best gym in the Front Range.
