Testimonials
Our members agree that Qi is an exceptional enviroment for that promotes health and wellness. Here are some of the emails and letters that we've received.
"As a father of four young children, finding extra time to attempt to improve my fitness was not a priority and generally not an option. Ironically, a torn hamstring about 12 months ago forced me to reorganize my lifestyle a bit, which in turn enhanced my ability to find new opportunities in how I approach fitness and how I plan to keep wellness as one of my life pillars. Today, I am ecstatic to report that I am 20 pounds lighter and about 3 inches less in my waist size than when I joined Qi. I attribute virtually all of these positive "body changes" to the themes, routines, and encouragement on which the Qi trainers and my new-found classmates at Qi have impressed on me. While I’ve generally considered myself a basic athlete, as an adult I never appreciated how much overall body strength can be equated and dramatically improved simply through achieving better balance through practicing flexibility, cardio-training and developing one’s core. It sounds obvious in hindsight how much these items would factor into being healthy and fit, but I just didn’t believe focusing on these items could be so motivating, liberating and altering of my spirit.
I am confident that I am a changed person who is now passionate about staying fit. Before Qi, setting routines for working out was at best a chore and something I could generally find a decent excuse to avoid. However at Qi I have pleasantly discovered that getting into shape and maintaining fitness doesn’t need to be a daily psychological struggle. Aside from the very flexible class hours and great diversity in the class offerings, which I always prefer to static routines, no one class has yet to be the same for me. The trainers thrive on testing new techniques and have an incredible ability to perceive the moods of the classes and alter their strategies to fit the majority’s needs. Qi is a community of peers that constantly challenges each individual to be the best that they can be and change their bodies unlike other gyms I’ve attended. I know it sounds cliché, but when you can befriend a class of 10 people in as little as one week where everyone wants to better know their work-out partners and these new friends take a genuine interest in your attendance and performance at the classes, then I think it’s very appropriate to distinguish Qi as a special and unique community that is truly in a separate league. Thank you from me and my family for making such a huge difference in my life."

"Having worked out at various other clubs and watched personal trainers and clients go through their routines, I noticed that they tended to do the same regime day after day. I was pleasantly surprised by the completely innovative and creative approach of personal training at Qi. My trainer, Isaiah Castilleja, brings a fresh and challenging approach to personal training. Every work out is totally different, you really feel the effects the day after. He injects a lot of athletic exercises that one would find in boot camp or a college football training camp. They are challenging to say the least. I have seen incredible results in the past 2 months working out with Isaiah. My daily energy level is amazing."

"Making changes in life can be difficult, especially when it comes to fitness and nutrition. Although the outcome is one of the best rewards we can give ourselves, it still presents a motivation and commitment challenges.
John and I joined Qi and within no time our lives changed. Qi has offered us an environment where working out is a pleasure. The staff creates a friendly environment that relaxes us and puts that motivation mindset into drive. The environment that Qi has created makes it feel like we are working out with long-time friends and family. There is no attitude from the clients or staff.
John and I became motivated to take the next step and have been training with one of Qis' trainers, Isaiah. Isaiah comes prepared with a complete view from baseline, nutrition and focuses on our goals with his knowledge and experience. Isaiah compliments our dedication with his personal interest in our achievements. He knows when to push, what to expect and when give you that break. Best way to describe the experience is that Isaiah invests himself in our motivation and efforts. Qi has given us a place where we better lives."
Scott and John
"Thank you for the opportunity to talk about my experience at Qi and with Isaiah, my personal trainer. As far as comparing Qi and other facilities, I am not an expert; I have had very little experience with other clubs, but none of it positive. It has been all positive at Qi. The atmosphere at the Qi is always welcoming. The staff welcomes me at the door, they are always willing to help, the gym smells good, and has a variety of easy to use equipment.
When I started going to Qi my goal was to reduce my pain from arthritis, my personal trainer Isaiah and I attacked the pain in three area’s lose weight, gain strength and stability, and increase my energy. Isaiah worked out a game plan that accomplished my goal less pain. When I started working with Isaiah, I was taking stairs one at a time. With in a month of working with him I was taking the stairs one step after the next. Isaiah makes it fun, encourages me the weeks that I am not feeling it, and incorporates my feedback into his program. After six months, I have a new goal for training…keeping up with my new granddaughter. Because of my positive results at Qi, my daughter, son and son-in-law have joined Qi as well."

"Through 20 plus years of exercise, I have been a member of Denver’s elite athletic clubs (Denver Athletic Club and Cherry Creek Athletic Club) and worked with personal trainers for years. I am happy to leave it all behind since finding Qi Kinesis. After a life long struggle with weight I am thrilled to report that I am FINALLY winning the battle. The staff at Qi is the most professional and knowledgeable in the world of fitness that I have ever encountered. A personal greeting awaits every visit and they are always available to help you maximize your time and fitness experience. The atmosphere at Qi is unlike any other fitness facility. They have mastered an aesthetically pleasing environment with state-of-the-art equipment and all the intensity you need to accomplish your goals. I call it my Zen gym. If you are serious about working out, but want a facility that is as far from the typical gym atmosphere, this is your place. Take my word."

"I am a few weeks shy of my 66th birthday, and thanks to Qi, I am probably in the best shape of my life. I have lost over 30 pounds and have gained a whole new sense of pride in what I can do physically. The atmosphere at Qi is welcoming and the trainers and staff are friendly and non-intimidating. They have encouraged me, prodded me and praised me for what I can do and have kept me motivated to achieve more. I have “worked out” at other gyms but always felt like an outsider in the fitness world –Qi has taught me that everyone deserves to be healthy and energized and feel good about themselves. Hooray for Qi and thank you!"

"I have worked with personnel trainers at over 5 large gyms in Denver over the past 3 years. Until I joined Qi did I realize that my goals were attainable and realistic. The Qi family welcomes me everyday and provides continual encouragement along the way. I have never workout out with more competent, dependable, understanding trainers in my life. Bottom line this is the best gym I have ever come across!"

"After finding excuses to avoid the gym for 4 years, I found Qi. The atmosphere was so inviting and non-judgmental that getting back to a routine was easy. Three months into my workout and I have never felt or looked better in my entire life. The staff is personable, the equipment easy to use and very cutting edge and the clients are very friendly. The best way to describe it is like having your own personal gym in your house. I have opted to use a personal trainer, Neil, at Qi as well. PT goes beyond the hour of training. They follow up with you on their time, think about your interests and provide some additional items to make life interesting and most of all actually care about your progress. Had I not been recommended to check this gym out, I would still be sitting on my couch."

"My son and I have been members of Qi Kinesis for over four months and we love it! I find Qi pleasing to the senses. It is personal, cozy and they have a great staff. They also have state of the art equipment. The resistance training machines (Kinesis) are wonderful. My favorite is what I call "the Virtual Reality Spin Bikes." Check them out!"

"I moved to Denver in October 2007 and began the search for a nearby gym. After visiting Qi, I couldn't think of returning to one of the chain, "meat market" gyms. Not only is the inside of the gym so appealing (spa-like interior and high-end equipment), but also the superior staff at Qi make the environment inviting and enjoyable. Since playing sports growing up, I have always been active but I tend to get in a rut and bored with my workouts. Qi offers a wide range of classes that have helped me push past my workout plateau and boredom. Each class feels like a personal training session with the low client to trainer ratio. I love the Kinesis classes, which I had never tried before joining Qi. My husband and I can't say enough about Qi Kinesis Athletic Club. We love it!"
Lauren Kasic
"I visit Qi Denver for a workout or Kinesis class whenever I am in town, and plan to join when I relocate. The equipment, classes, and overall atmosphere are the best I have come across. Qi's best feature though is the highly qualified and motivating trainers, instructors, and staff. This group goes above and beyond to ensure their members are satisfied, strong, and healthy from head to toe. I highly recommend you stop by and check them out. Feel free to contact me, if you want more information or feedback."
