Frequently asked questions.

No. Most Alpine members started with zero CrossFit experience, and a significant number started with zero gym experience. Every movement scales down as far as it needs to — your first class might be light air squats, a few step-ups, and a 20-minute walk on the rower. Your hundredth class will look completely different.

Three steps. First, a free No Sweat Intro — 30 minutes with a CF-L2 coach, no workout. Second, the Foundations on-ramp, private one-on-one sessions that teach the core movements. Third, group classes. Book the intro →

A free 30-minute meeting with a coach. You'll tour the gym, talk through your goals and training history, and leave with a personalized recommendation. No workout, no pressure, no cost.

Alpine's on-ramp for new members: private one-on-one sessions where a CF-L2 coach teaches the core CrossFit movements — squat, deadlift, press, pull, carry — in a low-pressure setting before you join group classes. You graduate when your coach is confident you can execute the movements safely in a group class.

Typically three to five private sessions, depending on your background. Your coach makes the call based on movement quality, not a fixed timeline.

Yes. Most Alpine members started with zero CrossFit experience and many had not stepped into a gym in years. Every class is led by a CF-L2 certified coach who scales movements to your body in real time. Nobody is thrown into something they can't handle.

Most new members notice measurable progress inside 8–12 weeks when training 3–4 times per week. Body composition changes generally show up between 12 and 24 weeks, depending on consistency, sleep, and nutrition.

A strength-and-conditioning methodology built on three principles: functional movement (squats, presses, pulls, carries), constant variance (no fixed cycles), and high-intensity effort scaled to your level. The goal is to increase your work capacity across broad time and modal domains.

CrossFit is as safe as any sport when coached well. Injury rates in coached CrossFit environments are comparable to general weightlifting and lower than contact sports or running. Every Alpine class is led by a CF-L2 coach watching the room, scaling movements, and cueing technique in real time.

Yes, when paired with consistent nutrition. CrossFit combines high-intensity conditioning with progressive strength work that builds muscle and raises your baseline metabolism.

Yes. The movements scale to any body and any experience level. Alpine's membership is balanced across genders and both owners, April and Tori DiGiannantonio, are women. Our most common member archetype is women 25–40 returning to fitness after kids, careers, or a long break.

A regular gym gives you access to equipment. CrossFit gives you a coach in every class, a workout programmed for that day with a measurable target, scaling to your level, and a community training alongside you. You never have to guess what to do or whether you're doing it right.

Pick by how you'll actually train. Facility and wellness center without coached classes: Open Gym, $69/month. Training 3+ times a week in coached classes: Unlimited, $199/month — roughly two-thirds of members pick this. A specific performance goal: Personal Training, $999/month. Traveling or trying us out: a drop-in ($30) or week pass ($95). Everything is month-to-month, so upgrading later takes about 30 seconds.

It's our most popular membership. It includes unlimited CrossFit classes, Prime Vitality (55+), the wellness center (steam sauna, cold plunges, compression boots, and peptide therapy), and 24/7 facility access. Roughly two-thirds of members choose it, because the bundle costs less than the pieces and unlocks the recovery amenities.

Facility access, the wellness center (steam sauna, cold plunges, compression boots, and peptide therapy), and 24/7 entry. CrossFit classes and Prime Vitality are not included at this tier — those start at Unlimited.

12 one-on-one sessions per month (roughly three a week), individualized programming built around your goals, plus everything in Unlimited — CrossFit classes, Prime Vitality, wellness center, and 24/7 access.

Yes. Reach out and we'll share current offers.

Credit card and ACH (bank draft). Memberships bill on the same date each month.

Yes for Open Gym, drop-ins, and week passes — all available for direct online purchase. Unlimited and Personal Training funnel through a free No Sweat Intro first, so we can match you to the right program.

Comparable Wheat Ridge and Arvada CrossFit gyms typically run $180–$220/month for an unlimited tier; Alpine's Unlimited is $199. Big-box gyms in the area run $30–$80/month for facility access without coached classes. Alpine publishes its pricing — no sales call required.

Steam sauna, cold plunges, compression boots, and peptide therapy. It's included in every membership tier — $69 Open Gym, $199 Unlimited, and $999 Personal Training — and in drop-ins and week passes too.

Peptide therapy is included with membership but scoped individually during a consultation, since the right protocol depends on your goals and health history. Ask at your No Sweat Intro or talk to a coach.

Monday–Friday 5:30 AM – 6:30 PM, Saturday and Sunday 8:00–10:00 AM. Unlimited members have 24/7 facility access.

Yes. The $69/month Open Gym tier is exactly that — facility access and the wellness center, no coached classes. Add classes whenever you want.

12090 West 50th Place, Wheat Ridge, CO 80033 — just off I-70 near Kipling. About 5 minutes from Applewood and south Arvada, 10 from Belmar in Lakewood, and 12 from downtown Golden. Directions and map →

Staffed hours are Monday–Friday 5:30 AM – 6:30 PM, Saturday 8:00–10:00 AM, and Sunday 8:00–10:00 AM. Unlimited members have 24/7 facility access.

Yes. Free on-site parking for all members and guests. Pull into the lot at 12090 W 50th Pl — the Alpine entrance is on the front of the building.

Every membership tier includes keyed facility access outside staffed hours, so you can train on your schedule rather than ours. Coached classes run during the posted schedule.

Alpine coaches are experienced at coaching around injuries and limitations. Your coach will scale every movement to what your body can and cannot do, progress loads carefully, and coordinate with your PT or doctor if appropriate.

No. Pull-ups scale to ring rows, banded pull-ups, or jumping pull-ups. Plenty of Alpine members have built to strict pull-ups during their first year.

Your coach adjusts load, range of motion, reps, and complexity in real time so the workout hits the right intensity for your body. Beginners aren't held back and advanced athletes aren't held back — everyone trains the same workout, scaled to their version of hard.

13 and up. Teens train in the regular coached classes alongside adults, scaled appropriately, with a CF-L2 coach watching every movement.

No. Our schedule includes 5:30 AM, 6:30 AM, 12:00 PM, and 4:30 PM class times built around school drop-off and pickup windows, which works for many Alpine parents — but it isn't childcare. If on-site childcare is a hard requirement, a big-box gym will fit better.

No. Alpine is built for athletes 13 and up, who train in the regular coached classes. We do run a dedicated Prime Vitality program for adults 55+.

No. Alpine focuses on strength and conditioning. Mobility work happens inside class warm-ups and cool-downs, but there's no standalone yoga, breath-work, or meditation class on the schedule. Members who want that pair Alpine with a separate practice.

No. Saturday classes run 8:00–10:00 AM and Sunday runs 9:00–10:00 AM. If a weekend afternoon class is essential, we're not the right fit.
