About Alpine CrossFit.
Alpine CrossFit is a community-focused CrossFit gym in Wheat Ridge, Colorado, co-owned by Megan Markee (CSCS, head programmer) and Annie Brunner (CF-L2). It is the only gym in Wheat Ridge with an all-professional coaching staff, and every workout is programmed in-house by the owners.

A gym run by the people training next to you.
Alpine CrossFit was founded in 2010. In 2016, Annie Brunner and Megan Markee took over — drawn by a fierce belief in the methodology and a passion for the community they found inside. The longer they've run it, the more convinced they've become.
Over the past decade under current ownership, Alpine has grown into a gym with a fully professional coaching staff and a facility refined around a single goal: getting members better results than any gym around us.
Annie is CF-L2 certified, Megan is CSCS certified, and both are active CrossFit competitors — Megan a 2× Semifinalist, Annie a 4× Quarterfinalist. Neither of them coaches group classes. Megan writes every workout Alpine members follow, and both of them take the class — same workout, same clock — training next to the members who chose to do it with them. Owners who program the gym and do their own programming, every day, in the room with everyone else: that's hard to find.
Three professional coaches. That's every class, every time.
Most gyms in the Denver metro rotate shift workers through a class schedule. Alpine doesn't. Every class is led by a CF-L2 certified professional coach. All three of our coaches are active CrossFit athletes. Lisa has qualified for the CrossFit Masters Semifinals.

Owners who do their own workouts.
Megan writes every Alpine workout. Annie and Megan both take the class — same workout, same clock — training next to the members who chose to do it with them. Most gym owners either coach from the sidelines or aren't in the building. Alpine's are in the heat, every day.
In-house programming.
Every workout at Alpine is written by Megan Markee, our head programmer and a 2× CrossFit Games Semifinalist. No franchise templates. No random WOD generators.
All professional coaches.
Three CF-L2 trainers, several of them Semifinalists and Quarterfinalists. Alpine is the only gym in Wheat Ridge that can say that about its full coaching staff.
A community that spans every age.
Members range from their 20s through their 70s, with a dedicated Prime Vitality program for adults 55+. Our community is not a young-and-fit monoculture.
Who we're for.
Alpine is built for people who want coaching. Beginners who have never stepped into a CrossFit gym and don't know what a "clean" is. Lifelong athletes whose knees won't let them run anymore. Parents trying to get back in shape after kids. Retirees who want to keep picking up grandchildren. Competitive athletes chasing a Quarterfinals score.
If you want to train alone with a phone and headphones, there are plenty of gyms for that. If you want someone in your corner who actually knows your name and your goals, Alpine is built for you.
