Camp Gladiator

The workouts were awesome and my trainer was amazing but literally within 24 hours of telling her I wanted to sign up for a 6 month contract (specifically to work with her), I get an email saying she will no longer be my trainer and now customer service won’t let me out of my contract. As it is, I am on the outskirts of the area where classes are offered and would have to drive a good 20 minutes or more to get to any other class when it is hard enough for me to get away for any time for myself.

This camp is what you make of it. It’s nice to have a trainer and other members to keep you accountable.
The workouts are usually held outside and sometimes there are no bathrooms available.
Using public space to work out sometimes mean dealing with things like undesirable weather, bugs, debris like glass or other garbage.
They have mats and weights to use if you haven’t gotten your own yet.
Cristin is a great motivator with a great sense of humor. It’s nice to have her follow up with emails and texts throughout the week to remind you of your goals. She also has the MOST AMAZING lemony, cold and wet towels to cool off with after your workout. She is my favorite thing about the camp. Her workouts are challenging but easily modified for all levels. I learn great exercises that I can do at home when I cant make a camp.
With tons of locations and times, its accommodating to changing schedules.

I have been with CG for a year and a half now. I attend every M/​W/​F at 5:30 a.m. When I first started, I was 52 pounds heavier and terribly out of shape. It has completely changed my life. In the beginning, I wasn’t as fast or as strong as everybody else there and that was okay, because you push yourself to your own capability. Now, I am fast, I am strong and I feel amazing. This is a full body workout that is never the same from day to day. The workouts are fun, yet challenging. Your membership with CG allows you to attend unlimited times and locations, even in other states! A longer commitment means a lower price. During the spring, summer and fall, camps are outside in Colorado. During the winter months, we’re inside. To sum all of this up, check out a Camp Gladiator location near you. You won’t be disappointed!

CG Wut Wut! Everyone who is active and a frequent visitor of the «gym» will more than likely eventually find themselves in a rut. Sure you can read in a fitness magazine about switching up the routine to stimulate gains and what not but I truly believe as creatures of habit, hose «changes to the routine» only last until you run the Under Armour gear thru the wash and the calendar turns the page to Monday. Thankfully CG has brought something new. A fresh start to an overly boring, methodical and essentially pointless workout routine that has plagued me for over 10 yrs. I couldn’t be more pleased not only with our regional trainer, Rich Kleinhaus, but the atmosphere and challenging workouts each session brings. Without CG DTC, I would still be stuck in my «rut» doing the same exercises while experiencing the same lack of results. If anyone, regardless of fitness level is seeking an alternative or supplementation to an already active lifestyle, you cannot go wrong with CG. In honor of this post, I think i have the energy to knock out some Burpees. See you at camp friends. You won’t leave disappointed– EVER.

I LOVE Camp Gladiator! Just started my 3^rd 4-​week camp this morning at 5:30am in The Highlands location! This is the best workout I’ve ever had. It’s set up so wonderfully to where you are going at your own pace but may times you are part of a team with the trainers and others always cheering you on! I am probably one of the older peeps in the group but it’s been fine, I never feel like I’m holding anyone up and feel encouraged and comfortable to just do my best. After 2 4-​week camps I see results. I am stronger and faster. You get a full body workout and it’s so fun that the hour goes by in a flash! There’s a week off in between each 4-​week camp and I can’t tell you how much I missed it last week! It’s very affordable and you can attend other camps in the area. I normally go 4 x a week but can attend more if I want! Our trainers in The Highland location are absolutely the best! Encouraging, safe, fun and knowledgeable. I can’t say enough about what a great workout they make it each and every time. Every other trainer I’ve experienced at other camp locations have been equally amazing.

This is great! I started out slow. My 1^st class I ever took was in the cold and rain. And the work out was tough, but I made it through it. I am 52 and about 60 pnds over weight. IT WILL COME OFF!
Rich (the DTC Trainer) is excellent. He will help you and modify the different the exercises for you and will keep you motivated. The work outs are not easy, but they are different each time. I have learned to go at my own pace and work at my level.
I highly recommend giving this a try. I have signed up for 5 more monthly sessions and I will lose that weight.
Oh by the way, you feel great afterwords. A real sense of accomplishment.
GO CG.

If you are looking for an easy gimmick to get in shape then read no further. However, if you are looking for an awesome challenging workout and a way to meet people to keep you accountable all the while having fun — then Camp Gladiator is for you.
CG is a ‘boot camp’ class which incorporates cardio, muscle and core strength and interval training among other things. The workouts are an hour long and are different every single session. Most common exercises are variations of squats, pushups, jumping jacks, running, ab exercises and such. While that sounds difficult and repetative, the trainers do a great job at creating fun team games and competitions as well as individual circuits to keep it fresh and exciting.
I am a 24 year old male, 5’10 and was 197 lbs before I began Camp Gladiator in June 2012. I had put on a decent amount of college weight and had spent the past five years fluctuating between 190 — 200 lbs. I was always in average athletic shape — not horribly out of shape, but no athlete by any means. I went to the gym every so often or went for the occasional jog while trying to play soccer whenever I had the time (not often). I always thought that I could get in shape with this sort of a regiment if I just kept myself more accountable, but as is the case with any working 8 — 5 person that is easier said than done.
I learned about Camp Gladiator at my apartment complex during a free trial week. After reading about it and watching videos I figured I’d give it a go. It looked a little tough but I’ll try anything once and I figured I could handle it… WRONG. I don’t think I’ve ever had a better workout in my life. I went back again later that week and from that point forward I was hooked.
Looking back to July, it is amazing how much my fitness has improved. I am down to 180 lbs but more so I’ve noticed a considerably difference in the tone of my body, my apperance and strength. I can run much faster and for much longer distances than I could not even 6 months ago — it really is a night and day comparison. I’m wearing clothes that haven’t fit in years, and I am easily in the best shape I’ve been in since I played competitive soccer in high school.
WHAT MAKES CG GREAT are the trainers and also the people. Jenny, Desiree & Ryan are the three trainers here in Denver and are passionate and fantastic at their jobs. They find the perfect balance between pushing you to go farther and harder but without being derogatory or demoralizing. Beyond just the workouts they provide support and encouragement in nutrition and accomplishing other fitness and non fitness goals — they really are essentially your personal trainers.
I’ve also met so many other ‘Contenders’ who have become good friends and are there to provide encouragement and support. It makes a world of difference when you have a group of people to provide you with accountability and support. I can’t believe I’m getting all this for just $ 69 a month — it truly is a steal.
Go try it once — you’ll be hooked!

I started doing Camp Gladiator in Dallas back in May. When my boyfriend and I moved back to Colorado, we were happy to hear they had just opened up some locations in Denver. The class sizes are smaller than they are in Dallas and Austin (its huge there!). While this is technically a boot camp class, I like to think of it more as a personal training session but you get a big support group to do the workout with. I have made so many friends through Camp Gladiator and every workout is different. The only thing you can count on being consistent is that you will be sore the next day. My favorite thing about CG is that the whole workout is go at your own pace, so if you are in great shape you will get a great workout but if you are a little slower than everyone else you dont feel like you are holding people back. I officially cancelled my gym membership a month ago, and don’t think I will be going back to the gym anytime soon. Camp gladiator is much more motivating and a lot more fun. It’s a shame that the reviews are being filtered (though I know Unilocal intentions are good), but I encourage everyone to read them and then come check it out for yourself.

My boyfriend Stephen signed up for Camp Gladiator a couple months ago from a «Get Outdoors» day at Sloan’s Lake– Denver, CO. He told me was going to start doing a fitness class every Mon, Wed and Fri that started at 5:30am and was outside. I thought he was CRAZY!!! I thought to myself, «there is no way I am doing that but have fun babe.» Over the next couple of weeks he came home pumped up after every workout, very enthusiastic and tired (in a good way) from his amazing workout. He soon enrolled one of our employees to join in. Soon all I could hear them talking about was how fun CG was and how much they really enjoyed it– even if it did kick their butts:) Then I began to see results in Stephen’s body. After only a few weeks, I could see him trimming down, toning up and gaining energy. To be honest I got a little jealous. I finally could not resist the temptation to join. On day 1 was hooked. They say it takes 8 times of doing CG to join, NOT ME, I joined right away. Desiree and Ryan Weiche are awesome. They are enthusiastic and they fully challenge you. Their energy is infectious. The workout routines they put together are not only fun, but are super hard. Which is really what I was needing in a workout. They support you in class and outside of class. I am starting to make some great friends from the class too. Love that. What I love about CG is the hour goes by pretty quickly, by 6:30am I am done with a huge task in my day. For me, if I put my workout off until the evening, it just doesn’t happen. I can always find an excuse not to workout. Because we have get up so early to do it, I am also making sure I get to bed early and watching what I eat. CG keeps me on track with my health in so many ways. I am on my 4^th week and the biggest results I see is that I have gained strength in my core, greater stamina, more energy, my clothes fit better, my body is getting toned, my commitment towards fitness is reignited. I’m in love with CG. I was telling Stephen this morning that I wish I had started 4 months ago. Reminds me of a quote, «A year from now you will have wished you had started today.» I agree 100%. For anyone reading this… do it, do it, do it. You won’t regret it! Wut wut!

I LOVE CG! I have not worked out in years, and was nervous about starting a new fitness routine. Desiree and Ryan welcomed me that first day, and encouraged me throughout that first workout. At the end of my first morning, I felt so energized and positive about how I would get back into shape, that I signed up for 6 months. Desiree and Ryan are awesome trainers; always ready to help and encourage. I am in my 4 month, and I love every single workout. Everyday is different; the workouts are never the same, and I always walk away feeling pumped for the day! If you haven’t tried Camp Gladiator yet, don’t wait! Find a location near you, and JUST GO! You won’t regret it!
