Who Platform is for

You’ve done plenty of workouts. Nobody ever taught you HOW to lift.

You’ve tried the big-box gym, the class with the loud playlist, the program a friend swore by. You worked hard at all of it. And you still pick the same weight every time because you’re not totally sure your form is right.

Every body can lift. First-timers and people with years of lifting experience all train here.

Already have a routine you love?

Keep it. Hang on to your pilates, spin, yoga and studio class rotation, and add two strength classes a week. Our classes run as a complete program on their own, and they work just as well as the strength half of your week. No full-gym commitment, and nobody asking you to lift every single day.

Platform is for you if you

Have bounced between gyms and classes and never had a coach correct your form
Would lift heavier if you knew your technique could handle it
Left cardio-heavy classes sore in all the wrong places
Have saved one post telling you to lift heavy and another telling you to switch to pilates
Love your pilates, spin or yoga and want a strength program that fits around it
Train so you can ski, ride, climb and run harder and longer
Want to understand what you’re doing, not just follow along

Three ways to train

Pick how much coaching you want

Small group training

Lift with a coach every session

Small-group strength classes on a weekly lower, upper and full body split. Your coach is there to help you pick weights, cue your form and scale or progress every movement to you. Think personal training but in a group. Come 5 days a week or twice, our coaches will help tailor your training to fit alongside the other things you love.

Why Platform is different

Every rep has a coach watching it.

Plenty of classes hand you a workout, a playlist and a “you got this!” Ours come with a coach who notices your knees caving on rep six, tells you exactly what to change and adds weight to the bar when your body is ready for it.

Specific cues

“Push the floor away.” “Ribs down.” Corrections you can feel, and swaps for achy knees, backs and shoulders.

A plan that builds

Classes run on a weekly split, so this Tuesday builds on last Tuesday. Nothing is random.

You learn the why

We explain what each lift does for you, so you can train with confidence anywhere.

Our method

The Platform Progression

We coach the person first, then progress the movement. Every lift you learn here moves through the same four steps.

01

Learn it

Learn the pattern with the variation your body can do well today.

02

Own it

Repeat it until rep ten looks like rep one, without a reminder.

03

Load it

Add weight on purpose, only as fast as your form keeps up.

04

Progress it

Change the challenge with harder variations, new tempos and bigger goals.

Member stories

Came for strength, stayed for the people

“Platform Strength has it all. Great programming, great staff, an awesome encouraging environment, and the absolute best community of people. If you’re looking to get strong and make friends, look no further!”
Kimberly

Two years off → felt like home

“Having been out of the workout game for 2 years due to work, I was fairly intimidated walking into a new gym. Platform Strength immediately felt like home. All the coaches are phenomenal about explaining the workout in detail and making sure that you have proper form throughout the class. Beyond that, they make it FUN!”

“Awesome gym and friendly staff! I was so happy to find a 24 hour gym in Denver that has great equipment, is always super clean, and has that old style gym feel. Thanks Platform!”

The coaches watching your reps

20+ years of coaching experience between them, and zero interest in yelling at you to go faster.

Coach Sav

Why I coach

Being trusted when people are at their most vulnerable is a privilege. I want to help make fitness feel less intimidating and less superficial, and watching people invest in themselves never gets old.

Cue you’ll hear
“Get your neck outta your shoulders.” “Make your stomach punchable.”

On my Spotify
Tunechi or Turnstile, until someone yells at me.

Coach April

Why I coach

Health and fitness have always been my passion, and sharing it brings me so much joy. I want this to be a welcoming, fun, safe space where you feel encouraged, confident and capable, even when the gym feels overwhelming.

Cue you’ll hear
“Throw your hips back like you’re dancing in the club.”
