Manic Training Highlands Ranch Gym - Highlands Ranch, Colorado

I really like the size and community at Manic. The trainers are really good, and I appreciate that I'm pushed, not shoved, to improve and do better. Managing old injuries, a new "physique", and a new age bracket means starting slower (and more sore) than I want to, but I like that the people are encouraging.

I've been coming to Manic for going on 6 years. In that time I have never for a moment been bored, and I've always wanted to show up regularly. I've made lifelong friends here with other members and even the owner. I Love this place. It's taught me movement, endurance, it has given me strength, and set me up for a permanent love affair with fitness. I lost 50 lbs in 3 and 1/2 months doing this alone and I've never looked back. I absolutely attribute my body's appearance to it. Manic will forever be the greatest gym and fitness program I'll ever be a part of.

If you want to work off that extra layer with a great community, this is the place. Holy cow! Coaches are awesome and the members are great.

Manic is the best gym ever! If you want to increase your functional fitness and strength, and have an amazing community of people that encourage you, this is the gym for you!

Pete and his team push you to find that next level of fitness in a friendly way, and they also put on a ton of events for their gym community to put that fitness to the test. They organize competitions, hikes, runs, and MTB rides so that you can hang out with other Manic members and enjoy all that Colorado has to offer.

It's a perfect gym for those just starting out, or athletes looking to up their fitness level with a fun, supportive community.

I love Manic! I've had years of issues after too much running. I spent a lot of time and money in PT, dry needling, massage etc. I've tried everything out there: Crossfit - too weightlifting-centric for me, many gyms have subpar coaching for what you need when lifting that heavy. OrangeTheory - I loved, but the running got to me, and as they got too corporate and it became boring. I get bored in a gym. F45 was great, but Manic has much more variety and social outings and isn't corporate (same price without the commitments). I also like 60 min over 45 min, but there are 45 min slots at Manic if needed. F45 only does 60 min on Saturdays. I do feel like F45 has more "coaching" if you need more input. There are a couple of coaches per class, and they are very in tune with everyone. Manic is more casual, and the coaches sometimes work out with you. F45 does show your HR up on the screen, which is fun, but I just do it on my watch. The points from F45 aren't customized to your max HR, so the splat points didn't really apply to me because of low max HR.

I love that Manic is focused on getting in shape to go out and live life to the fullest. There are lots of fun outings like climbing the Manitou incline and happy hours. They host DEKA events which is fun. They are open to kids with kid classes, and my 10-year-old often joins me. There are 2 full rooms (open to use after/before class), showers, and hot yoga. There is a mix of HIIT and strength classes (mostly strength T, Thursday, Sat) and HIIT Mon, Wed, Fri, Sat. Pete is awesome, and it's a ton of fun without being repetitive. I still use my Orange Theory zones, and I blow my orange/red zones out of the water because it's easy to work hard when changing it up so much without the injuries.

Best gym around! Great community, everyone is friendly and welcoming. The trainers are great. The workouts are tough, but you feel great afterward. What I love about this gym is that it is it focusing on making you a better athlete. The movements are functional, it's not like a regular gym that is just trying to get you fit. They actually do workouts geared toward enhancing your performance. That was one of the key things I was looking for in a gym. The trainers aren't just personal trainers, but athletes themselves, which is really nice. I have had a few injuries over the months and they have always helped me modify, while ensuring that I'm still working hard. Best gym around. It doesn't matter how fit you think you are. These workouts will challenge you every.single.time.

I can't say enough great things about Manic Training. Will you get a great workout? YES. But what's even better? The staff, the community, the friendships. Manic is a tribe that supports and encourages each other. If you are looking for something different come by and check it out for yourself. You are guaranteed to be greeted with a smile!

My wife and I started coming here a couple months ago… Peter and his team are amazing. The workouts are hard, but well thought out. Every range of person on their fitness journey can come here and be welcomed. I’m thoroughly impressed with how much passion and care Peter has for the training, and it is reflected in the class attendance. This place has knocked our socks off and we are in love with it. I would give it more stars if I could!
