Success Stories

Update to my original review: Soon, I'll have been a member of Aion Personal Training for three years. My wife saw how positive the experience was for me, and she joined and has been there for over a year now. I'm 55 years old now. Compared to just three years ago, I am stronger. I am in far better shape for simple everyday things like climbing multiple flights of stairs instead of taking an elevator. Most important: I feel more confident that I will retain a stronger, healthier body as I get older. It's not that I never have setbacks. At one point, I strained a muscle in my arm. At another point, my knee started giving me trouble. The important thing is, in response to these things, the amazing coaches at Aion worked closely with me to modify my workouts and perfect my form to mitigate discomfort and strengthen vulnerable areas to protect me from a recurrence. It works! Now here's my original review, all of which still applies: I spent the first 50-ish years of my life vacillating between being active and fit, and overweight and sedentary. Dieting had me losing weight and then gaining it all back, and then some. At 40, I worked with a personal trainer who got me in great shape but weighed me weekly and shamed me whenever I gained a pound or two. Then, parenthood happened and I stopped exercising altogether. By the time the COVID lockdown ended, I could hardly make it up a single flight of stairs. I was in the worst shape of my life, and scared for my future. But I always had excuses: too busy, no time, and worst of all: why bother because I know I'll just let it go again? Then one day, I was walking down Colorado Blvd. when Aion Personal Training's sign caught my eye. A gym for people 40+? And only a short walk from my workplace? I had no excuse not to try. Marcus, the owner, was welcoming, non-judgmental, and had a straightforward sense of confidence that I could get fit and improve my life if I just... showed... up. Over the two years I've been a member, I've come to know the coaches and many of my fellow clients, and to appreciate the sense of community that's been created. The coaches have a positive energy and, during my semi-private (small group) workouts, there's an amazing level of personal attention to check my form, offer advice, and encourage me to push past where I was last week. It's a long game, and the folks at Aion Personal Training know it. My plan is to be with them for the long haul. I highly recommend that you set up a consultation if this sounds like it could be a good fit for you.

Friendly and encouraging folks are there to help one get in shape and work on whatever level one is in at the present time

Good fun Aion provides and nice atmosphere and training is not so intense. Once upon a time I competed in sports so you know how intense that could be. Aion makes it fun relaxing and worth the time.

Earlier this year, I was in a rut. Sitting all day, working from home, low energy, feeling alone and hopeless in my journey to be stronger and healthier. Someone close to me suggested I try weight training or getting a personal trainer. I was overwhelmed at the prospect of trying to find a good spot for me, but luckily, probably through the algorithm working in my favor for once, I immediately landed on the Aion Personal Training website. I wanted to be at a place where I felt comfortable, where I felt confident and safe to struggle and strive without judgment. I signed up to visit and immediately loved what I saw. I signed up to attend small training sessions and I haven't looked back since. The year is almost over, and this has, hands down, been the best thing I have done for myself this year, heck, in a very long time. I feel good, my energy and mood has improved, and I found a wonderful community in Aion. I highly recommend Aion training!

I’m 78 years old and have worked out most of my life. Since I had back surgery about four years ago, I have not been working out. I have always prided myself on being and staying in shape. Lucky for me about six weeks ago, I saw Aion’s sign and investigated. The staff and assistants are professional, knowledgeable, friendly and very helpful. Their primary purpose is to challenge you while respecting any limitations that you may have (age included). I already have noticed changes in my stamina and flexibility! Rick Ruiz

I have been going to the small classes at this gym all summer. I have arthritis in my knees and hips. The trainers have helped me modify some of the exercises to both strengthen my muscles, and to avoid stress on my joints. I appreciate the individual attention and the supportive members. This is definitely a great place to get back into a fitness routine!
