The Manic community and mindset that all embody who are a part of this community is what makes it special! When I was looking for a gym to attend to gain extra strength and work on my imbalances as a runner, I tried out Manic and immediately signed up to continue attending classes. I greatly value being able to have a variety of workouts each week that challenge me both physically and mentally.The support of the trainers and Craig at each class to assist with exercises and ensure you are performing them correctly is invaluable. I enjoy being able to meet someone new at each class and even when I don’t know someone, others in class quickly welcome you and provide encouragement. I’m grateful for this space and all that it brings to my life!

I was an over-weight, out of shape, sick and tired of running out of breath while hiking, middle aged dude when I walked past Manic one Saturday morning and decided to walk through the door.Fast forward 4 months, and I'm now doing 10 reps of exercises I couldn't do 2 reps of when I started. All you need to do to improve is go 30 times in 3 months. It WILL transform you.Nobody here judges you. Nobody will think you're weak, or that you suck, or that you don't belong. Instead, they'll encourage you, support you, celebrate your wins, and give you the "Great work today" fist bump at the end of every workout.My t-shirts are getting tighter around the arms and looser around the belly. I don't run out of breath climbing stairs. I feel 1000% better than I did (I am, sadly, still middle aged).This place, and coach Craig changed my life, and will change yours, too. I look forward to going to the workouts. I _enjoy_ being surrounded by these fantastic people.They. Changed. My. Life.You just gotta walk through the door. I'm glad I did.

Manic is a great gym! It will push you both mentally and physically. It is a gym built on a family "tribe" mentality, not egos like most gyms. Everyone there, no matter what shape you are in, gets a great workout. Everyone is supportive! This gym will help you succeed both in the gym and help you get through what life throws at you. Thanks Craig keep up the amazing job!

I joined Manic Training about two weeks ago and cannot say enough great things! Craig and Rebecca are both so helpful and the environment is very supportive. If you're apprehensive about joining, don't be!

After a little more than 2 years of attending Manic Training, I can honestly say I love everything about this gym. It’s the best hour of my day! The community, the atmosphere, the coaches, and the workouts are the best you could find in a gym. Manic is a place to grow your physical and mental strength in a safe and encouraging environment. The functional fitness workouts are fun and challenging, and the hour literally flies by. It is hard to explain how great it feels to not be limited by your fitness. Since attending Manic, I have been inspired and capable to try new and hard things that I would’ve never tried before, and I am a much better person because of it. If you are looking for a gym, look no further.

I needed a workout routine that would hold me accountable, keep me motivated, and deliver results. Manic does that and so much more. I’ve never lifted weights before, so starting manic was intimidating, but since I’ve started I’ve learned so much about myself mentally and physically. I’ve been going for about 8 months, and i didn’t think I would ever be this fit again, especially after having 2 kids. Craig, the owner, is amazing, and truly cares about every single person that walks through his doors. Manic was one of the best decisions I’ve made! It’s addicting!

I was very apprehensive about starting at Manic. So much so that I had a 4-year delay between my trial week and joining! I was worried that I would be left behind in the workouts by much younger and stronger athletes. But that is not the case. From day 1, when I could barely lift my arm above my head due to a shoulder injury and didn’t know how to do 90% or the exercises, everyone, coaches and members alike, have been nothing but supportive and inspirational. The coaches display the heart of a teacher and this has helped me learn proper form and build my strength without getting injured. The coaches have also worked with me to help me attain some very lofty goals of becoming a wild land firefighter and back country ranger even though I am over 60 years old. If you are looking for a way to spend the best 60 minutes of your day, give Manic a try. You might be sore, but you won't be disappointed.

We were introduced to Manic thru a dear friend and are so grateful we went for our first week. Support and community is a key element of their workout and gym. You feel encouraged to challenge yourself and on days you are lacking motivation, the coaches provide energy and great playlists. If you are looking for a place to belong and become a better version of yourself, Manic is for you!

No matter what your ultimate goal in seeking out a new gym may be, overall fitness and well being is typically the driving factor. At Manic, total body fitness is front line. I spent years in other gyms where I became excessively strong in very specific muscle groups where other areas lacked. With Manic's balanced full body workouts I quickly realized the areas that I had lacked in previously and instantly started seeing overall improvements both in and out of the gym. If you are looking to improve performance and goals in activities outside of the gym no matter what they may be, this is the gym for you. Craig, the owner along with the rest of the coaching staff are all fantastic people who thrive to see every member succeed and achieve their personal goals. You really feel a sense of community and belonging at this gym, no matter what your fitness level may be, which is something lacking from most other gyms I've been to. Don't hesitate to give this gym a try, I did the trial period and after the first class was hooked and ready to sign up.Simply can't say enough positive about this place!!!-JB

I have never done any kind of training like Manic before. I started after my 63rd birthday, thinking that if I didn’t get serious about my fitness now I never would. I LOVE skiing, hiking and biking and thought I was somewhat fit for my age. HA! I can’t tell you how much fitter I feel after only 3 months of coming 3x/wk. It was hard and intimidating starting a workout regimen like this for me. Your muscles and joints ache, you don’t think you can do it. BUT YOU CAN! You just have to show up and try. What I love most about Manic is the structure, community, and coaching. I’m always given an alternative if I’m struggling with an exercise or if I’m injured. I am not allowed to slack either. I wanted to give a review after only 3 months to let people know that this is a welcoming place. Don’t be intimidated. You will improve. Just stick with it. It is SO worth it! I know that this is a journey I will be on for a long time. Thanks so much to Craig and the folks in the classes for their encouragement and support. I love this place!

This place has become a second home for me. The owner Craig and the coaches are all amazing and make you feel welcome. If you are looking for a new experience and have failed to see results for yourself this is the place for you. The workouts are always different and if you are new to interval training Manic has this amazing online app that you can use to watch the workouts ahead of time so you know what to expect and the trainers are always near to support, push, and guide everyone whether you are a beginner or advanced. Highly recommend!

I walked into the gym about four months ago; a friend asked if I wanted to go with her to a class. After 30+ years of being a gym rat and spending my time just pushing weights with no real purpose, I decided to try something different. Manic Training Fort Collins is now my new home 3 to four days a week. I drive from Windsor for 20 min. To attend the class, I am so hooked now I'll probably drive 60 miles. The owner/coach Craig is top-notch. The gym is very welcoming and extremely clean, and the numbers are all very supportive, kind, and helpful. I am 56, and I am in the best shape I've been in years. I can do things that I couldn't imagine doing five years ago. Attending this class helps me enjoy my weekend activities without pain and injury. The most important thing I found is I have less pain and more energy than I've had in years. I would highly recommend this gym. It's home to many people!!

I’ve been at Manic for 6 months and it’s already the best thing I’ve done for myself. Manic changes your mentality of what you can achieve with the right atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Manic workouts always push you every time you step foot into the gym. The workouts are amazing, but the people you get to know through Manic are even better.
