A little history

Historically, downtown Denver health clubs have been huge, expensive places where people “network,” or simply steam and Jacuzzi themselves. Fitness has been secondary to massive lobbies, restaurants, pro shops, and other features that have nothing to do with fitness.  Our members repeatedly tell us they don't need all the frills.  "Those features may be nice, but I won't pay for them.  Besides, who has time for that?"

Lifestyles and work schedules for most of you create a need for a clean, relaxing and no-nonsense workout regimen.  Rather than get caught chasing the latest club fad or managing a dating game, we have created Dumbbells and Dumbbells Too. We offer an oasis, in what for most people is a challenging daily routine.  We provide a personal touch, as well as equipment and classes that meet the needs of busy working professionals.  Your workout will become the best part of your day.

Dumbbells also has the only “meathead” free weightroom of any full scale health club. If you don’t know what a meathead is, here’s Webster’s unofficial definition:

meathead (mi:t hed) n. a primitive gym dweller that mostly exhibits unnecessarily loud grunting, weight dropping, scowling, strutting and flexing. Known to be intimidating, distracting, and/or annoying.

Why don’t we have any meatheads? Well, it starts with our comprehensive DNA analysis test when we sign people up. Just kidding. Actually, Dumbbells just doesn’t allow the types of behavior that make most health clubs uncomfortable. We want everyone to feel like they belong. This philosophy has served us well. In our club, you will see beginners, experts, young, old, fat, and skinny- you get the picture.

That’s one example of why Dumbbells has been successful for the last decade. Check out some of the other special things we do to help our members get results without dreading the process.
