Step 1: Book Your Free Introductory Session
The first step to joining Colfax Strong is scheduling a free introductory session. This is not a high-pressure sales pitch but a genuine opportunity to explore our facility and meet our coaching staff. We believe that trust is built through conversation and observation, not contracts. By booking this session, you are taking the first step toward a life of strength, energy, and confidence.
Our booking process is designed to be seamless and accessible. You can easily schedule your free intro online at your convenience. This initial meeting allows us to understand your past fitness experience, your current goals, and how we can best support you. Whether you are a complete beginner or a seasoned athlete, this session is tailored to your unique needs.
Step 2: Meet Your Coaches and Tour the Facility
Colfax Strong is located in the heart of Capitol Hill, conveniently just off Colfax Ave on N. Emerson St. Our facility is designed to be a zero-intimidation environment, ensuring that every member feels welcome from the moment they walk through the door. During your tour, you will meet our team of committed full-time professional coaches.
Our coaching staff includes highly skilled professionals with top-tier communication skills and elite programming expertise. For instance, our General Manager, Nick Law-Yue, brings over 12 years of coaching experience and certifications including CrossFit Level 3 and Barbell Strength Coach credentials. Learn more about our dedicated coaching team and their diverse backgrounds in martial arts, gymnastics, and strength training.
The atmosphere at Colfax Strong is warm and welcoming. We foster a community built on kindness, support, and shared growth. Our members come from all backgrounds, ages, and fitness levels, creating a highly inclusive environment that is particularly proud of its strong LGBTQ+ membership. This inclusivity is not just a policy; it is the core of our identity.
Step 3: Define Your Personalized Plan
Once you have toured the gym and met the coaches, it is time to define your personalized plan. At Colfax Strong, we do not believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Instead, we create customized training plans tailored to your fitness level, schedule, and specific goals. This plan will break down the next steps clearly so you always know what to work on and how to progress.
Personalized strength training is no longer a one-size-fits-all endeavor. Our approach focuses on intelligent programming and encouraging instruction, accounting for your individual biomechanics, lifestyle constraints, and specific physiological goals. Read our latest insights on personalized strength training to understand how we tailor workouts to your body.
During this phase, you will also have a goal-setting session with your coach. This ensures that your objectives are realistic, measurable, and aligned with your lifestyle. Whether your goal is weight loss, muscle gain, or improved athletic performance, your plan will be designed to get you there safely and effectively.
Step 4: Choose Your Program Path
Colfax Strong offers a variety of programs to suit different needs and interests. Choosing the right program is crucial for maintaining motivation and achieving results. Our core offerings include Semi-Private Training, Personal Training, large-group HYROX Training, and Community Group Fitness classes.
Semi-Private Training
Semi-Private Training is a cornerstone of what we do at Colfax Strong. These small, coach-led sessions combine the accountability of a group setting with the direct, personalized feedback of individual coaching — ideal for members who want expert attention without training entirely on their own.
Community Group Fitness Classes
For those who want a lower-barrier entry point into fitness, our community group fitness classes are a great place to start. These high-energy strength and conditioning sessions are ideal for all ages and fitness levels, focusing on strength, endurance, and functional fitness without requiring a more technical, CrossFit-style starting point. The group dynamic provides accountability and camaraderie, making workouts more enjoyable and effective.
Large-Group HYROX Training
Colfax Strong is an official HYROX affiliate. We're launching large-group HYROX training on June 18, giving members a coached, community-based way to prepare for the demands of HYROX competition. Classes run:
- Thursdays: 5:30 AM, 6:30 AM, 7:30 AM, 12:00 PM, 3:30 PM, 4:30 PM, 5:30 PM, and 6:30 PM
- Saturdays: 8:00 AM

Personal Training
Personal Training offers custom coaching focused entirely on your goals. This is ideal for busy professionals, parents, or anyone who prefers one-on-one attention. Our personal trainers provide physiology-focused accountability and results-driven strategies. Explore our guide to starting personal training to see how it can accelerate your progress.
Specialized Programs
We also offer specialized programs such as the 12-Week Transformation Program, Women 35+ Strength & Conditioning, and Youth Personal Training. Each program is designed to meet specific demographic needs and fitness goals. For example, our Women 35+ program addresses the changing needs of the body after 35, focusing on strength and bone density. Learn why Colfax Strong is a top choice for women 35+.
Step 5: Execute and Track Your Progress
The final step is to execute your plan and track your progress. At Colfax Strong, we believe that results are non-negotiable. To ensure you are seeing tangible improvements, we conduct progress reviews every 90 days. These reviews include InBody scans, which provide detailed data on your body composition changes.
Tracking your progress is essential for maintaining motivation and adjusting your plan as needed. Our coaches use these reviews to celebrate wins, identify areas for improvement, and keep you on track. This data-driven approach ensures that your efforts are translating into real-world results. Read our tips on staying consistent after a fitness break to maintain your momentum.
Consistency is key to long-term success. Our supportive community and expert coaching provide the accountability you need to stay committed. Whether you are attending group classes or working with a personal trainer, you will always have a team behind you.
