  I joined as a founding member when BFT opened in 2024, starting with 8 classes a month. After a skiing injury, I was away from the gym for 8 months due to surgery and recovery. When I returned, the coaches were incredibly supportive. They worked with me on which classes I could safely take and provided modifications during workouts. One of the coaches even helped write a PT plan to support my recovery. The coaches are knowledgeable, motivating and are known to push you with heavier weights and a little motivation. Joining as a founding member was one of the best decisions I’ve made.

  From day one, BFT has felt welcoming, motivating, and professional. The workouts are challenging but scalable, so whether you’re just getting started or pushing for new PRs, you feel supported and successful. Every class is thoughtfully programmed, purposeful, and different—there’s never a dull or wasted workout. The coaches are truly what set BFT apart. They are knowledgeable, encouraging, and genuinely invested in helping you improve—not just survive the workout. They correct form, push you when you need it, and celebrate your progress along the way. You feel seen, not lost in the crowd. The atmosphere is upbeat and community-driven. Everyone is focused, positive, and supportive, which makes it easy to stay consistent and motivated. The technology, structure, and variety keep workouts engaging while still delivering real results. If you’re looking for a gym that combines high-level coaching, smart programming, and an incredible community, BFT is it. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

  BFT is truly more than just a gym. The workouts, coaches, community, and stunning space give you everything you need to crush your goals. Each session is thoughtfully programmed, challenging, and scalable for all fitness levels! One of my favorite highlights from the last year was a challenge where we tested our baselines and then retested at the end to see our progress. This made it easy to clearly see how much stronger and fitter you became over time. During both the pre and post testing, everyone gathered around cheering each other on to hit PRs. The energy was unreal and perfectly captures what makes this place so special! I can confidently say I am the fittest I have ever been, and because of BFT I signed up for my first HYROX. The training here builds real strength, endurance, and confidence. I am even traveling with four other friends from this gym to compete together! I am coming up on almost a year as a member and currently drive 35 minutes each way to train here. I choose to do that because the people, accountability, and results are unmatched. It is worth the commute every single time! You will not regret joining BFT. It is money well spent. Choose to save in other ways. From day one, you will have an entire community cheering you on!

  BFT Lakewood is the perfect place to start your New Year's resolution to get fit. Do you work from home and need some social interaction each day? BFT is a true community of like-minded people. Seeing friendly faces every day makes it easy to stick to your routine and make new friends. Want variety in your workout? Every day is something new and challenging, so you never get bored. The alternating strength and cardio days keep you on your toes and every body part engaged. Want a place that is not just another smelly/ dark gym? This former church sanctuary is a beautiful space with amazing light coming through the stained glass windows, with high vaulted ceilings, in a clean, colorful space. Want a gym with consistent staffing of motivating coaches? Coach Alex and her staff bring energy and correct technique. Want a place that is welcoming to all ages? At 51, I was a little nervous to join a gym. But BFT has a wide age range and is welcoming to all. You can have your group of similar-aged friends, but everyone here is so supportive of each other, no matter your age. Join BFT Lakewood if you want to improve your daily life in 2026! After a year of membership and almost 300 classes, it has been the best change to my daily routine in years. Love It.

  BFT has truly become such a special part of my life. The space itself is beautiful, with the gym being in an old church, it has such a natural charm to it. You’ll feel the energy especially on Saturday and Sunday mornings when the sun comes through the stained glass windows. Magical. The workouts are a really good mix of strength and cardio, and what I appreciate most is how accessible they are. Whether you’ve been lifting for years or are just starting out, everything can be scaled so you still feel challenged without feeling out of place. Everyone belongs. This place has also challenged me in ways I didn’t expect — including giving me the confidence to sign up for my first HYROX competition. The coaches are incredible — supportive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping you show up as your best self. The community is what really sets BFT apart. I’m really grateful for this place and highly recommend!
