About Alpine CrossFit.
Alpine CrossFit is a community-focused CrossFit gym in Wheat Ridge, Colorado, co-owned by CF-L2 coaches Megan Markee and Annie Brunner. It is the only gym in Wheat Ridge with an all-professional coaching staff, and every workout is programmed in-house by the owners who coach the classes.
We serve members across Wheat Ridge, Lakewood, Arvada, Applewood, and Golden — from first-timers in their 20s to Prime Vitality members in their 70s.
A gym built by the people who coach 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.
Both Annie and Megan are CF-L2 certified and active CrossFit competitors — Megan a 2× Semifinalist, Annie a 4× Quarterfinalist. They train at Alpine every day alongside members, and Megan writes the programming every Alpine member follows.
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 five of our coaches are active CrossFit athletes. Several compete at the CrossFit Games Quarterfinals.

Owners who coach you.
Megan and Annie aren't behind a desk. They coach group classes alongside the rest of the team, so the people running the gym are also the people correcting your squat depth.
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.
