Catacombs Fitness

Thanks for the great workout last week. A terrific all round workout for upper body, abs and legs. I appreciate you concentrating on posture too; so important.

I always enjoy having Tracie coach. During each week I try to schedule a WOD when she is coaching. She brings her energy, positive attitude and sense of humor to the class.

thanks for the tips to get me thru the push press. my shoulders are still pretty tight so thats something i can work on

Andrea’s positive attitude, attention to form and technique, and her encouragement brings the perfect balance of fun, motivation and challenge to every workout.

Today was a tough one but Will made it great. His instruction with a good sense of humor at this early hour is always awesome. Thanks for making me realize I CAN do hard things. Great job!

Great instruction as always. Joon always pushes me to do my best and give 100%

Very laid back, sneakily effective coaching from Tracie! My favorite place to drop in for a workout when I’m visiting town, the vibes are impeccable from both coaches and athletes at catacombs.

Linda is the most in tune coach I’ve ever had. I love her classes because they are fun and inspiring. She’s very aware of the needs of her students and gives us all personalized support when we need it. I’ve learned a lot about body movement from being in Linda’s class.

I appreciated the corrections on form…kind celivery

Great pull-up tips today. Was able to get a monster set with your help. Saved me a round of work. Always great insight. Thanks!

Marty is encouraging and keeps the group focused on proper technique.

Patrick was great, suggesting modifications that still gave me a good workout.

Love LWL! Perfect pace and i love the new movements.

Great feedback and encouragement!

This was my 2nd time at catacomb fitness and I really enjoy the energy, the people and the coaching. Will did a great job correcting my form and helping me to make adjustments when necessary. Great class!

Thanks for the guidance with structuring the partner WOD

She was great!

Donnie was helpful with modifications, encouraging during class, helped me stay safe in all movements and introduced me to some classmates so I didn’t suffer alone :) 5 stars. Thanks for the great class!

Thanks for a great class, Will! I always find your coaching to be a great blend of quality feedback, support, and humor.

I’m really enjoyed the women’s lift class. Linda was so welcoming as well as the rest of the women. Linda gave great instruction on a few new exercises. Looking forward to more classes at Catacombs.

Will is fantastic - I did my initial coaching sessions with him and felt like he did a fantastic job preparing me. Now I always look forward to his classes!

Joon handled the large class well. Good, clear instruction with more individualized interaction as he moved around the rooms. Solid time management.

Exceptional job, Coach Brian provided detailed instructions on proper technique to get the most out of our exercises as well as keeping us entertained and motivated during class. Awesome!!

Excellent. Attentive to our for and encouraging

Brian’s class is always fantastic. He stresses correct form for most effective results and safety. Always a good challenge! Thanks Brian!

Brian is a fantastic coach and an incredible person. I have worked with him over 2 and a half years. He is supportive and a great listener. He is compassionate and caring. Catacombs is a huge part of my life. At 65 I am strong and fit! It is an amazing place!

I need to modify my deadlift today, so Joon was able to give me an effective modification to protect my knee I’m currently rehabbing.

Great class. Positive vibe. Joon provides awesome feedback and tips on lifting form in a supportive manner.

Lindsay is always an awesome coach! Fun, inclusive, able to cater to multiple skill sets in each class!

Very encouraging and full of energy

Great to be back. Love Andrea's classes

Very helpful with my first class. Work explanation and modifications were excellent.

Joon is the best!

Always a fun class! Great warm ups, clear preview of the workout and a good choice of options/modifications. Lindsay’s encouragement keeps you going throughout the workout.

Fun, good energy and feedback was great

Super positive! Clear instructions.

Will is always so upbeat, so encouraging, fun and more than accommodating to modifications. I have had a few nagging injuries and he never pushes you to do more than you should but still helps you get a good workout. Always a good day when Will is teaching:-)

Joon is excellent. Top notch coach. I travel around the state for work and his classes are among the best CrossFit coaches classes around It’s why I will continue to drop in to Catacombs any time I’m in Durango.

The work out was just what I needed today. It challenged me! Thanks Brian! Nora

Will was a great coach, very helpful and encouraging.

She’s great. Grateful for her time!!

Joon is a great coach! He encourages us to push ourselves harder and gives us tips during the workout to help with form and performance.

Suz is an incredible instructor. She understands how to get the best results from each of her clients while keeping the excercises safe and fun.

Thanks Lindsay! Id never been to a workout class before, and I thought the instructions were clear and the vibe was good!

Linda brings upbeat positive energy, explains and demonstrates the exercises well, and floats around the classroom offering advise and tips and encouragement!

Suz is always a strong kind focal point for those who struggle with fitness and she’s the best

Thank you

Joon has a great way of encouraging me to try to step out of my box and challenge myself! I may not always do it, but it’s nice to have someone believe in me! He has a great teaching technique, and his classes are a joy. Thank you for your help!! T

Josh Was wonderful so understanding and I just love everyone… I’m still learning but I’m so happy Thank you Josh

Coach Andrea is always enthusiastic and encouraging with helpful tips and suggestions. And, she even can throw in some good light hearted humor when we are enduring the excruciatingly slow wall sits! Always appreciate having her as a coach.

Great mobility class, exercises were explained very well. Pace was perfect.

Love mobility class! Prefect combo post WOD. Would love morning time yoga too if ever possible.

Nice class thanks

Will offers support and helpful tips. Always a fun class!

I appreciate Will's attentiveness to form and adapting exercises as needed.

Will was very good with checking positions during the workout! I appreciate the coach making sure we are doing everything correctly so we don’t hurt ourselves. Katherine

Awesome, great workout and coaching

Always excellent Andrea! Your classes are so much fun. I appreciate the motivation and always welcome corrections. Thank you!

It was good. I appreciate the modifications that you helped me with.

Joon was great. Even with a full class, he provided helpful direction on form correction. And, lest I forget, he had time to “encourage” me to lift heavier 😁

Did mobility with Kelsey and it was amazing as always ! Feels so good it hurts !😉

Dropped in from out of town for a few days and Donnie was an awesome coach! Really great gym, coach and members!

very good coach!

Donnie is a great instructor- always watching and correcting, if necessary. I truly enjoy his coaching.

Andrea. I specifically look for when you are the instructor. You are flexible (sometimes the exercise Does not work with my physical challenges., And you seem to always respect that … you always have such great energy.

Brian did a great job today! He pushed us and motivated us with humor, making the class fun and effective.

Great coach with motivation and positivity always!

Energetic interactive and personalized instruction in a group setting. Motivating and picks up on subtle details.

I really enjoyed suz’s class. She was right there making sure everyone was doing things properly and safely. It was my first class. I feel empowered to build strength!

Love Brian! Keeps me laughing and lifting heavy !

Really good & thorough stretching & relaxation vibe

Great class with KMac this morning. She keeps the flow progressing and always has feedback to help us keep good form. Thank you!

Great workout! Even better coach! Love this gym!

KMac is always so informative when demonstrating and reviewing the movements. I also love her eagle-eye that catches the little details of my efforts. I am impressed with the range of movement too. She knows her stuff !

Always love working out with Suz with her positive and encouraging attitude!

I really enjoyed my class with Josh

The best! I love all the words of encouragement!

Andrea motivated me to a higher level of performance today! Her encouragement and support created a very positive atmosphere for a challenging workout. 🏋️

Andrea listened to my concerns and helped adapt the workout to my needs. The workout was challenging and fun

Will provided excellent instructions for the exercises of the day and provided multiple variations of push ups and situps for the different fitness levels in class. He also did a great job in correcting my form when he saw I could be doing things more efficiently. Thanks Will! Really happy with my experience so far at Catacombs.

Will crushes coaching like crackers on soup! 🍲 He’s helpful with options and variations for those that need, is on point with his time management( but never rushed) and is great with the music! Always a blast 💥 to get swoll 💪 with Will at the head of the class!

Wonderful! Always encourage and helpful.

Kelsey is amazing, she is so knowledgeable and amazing at getting me back to working out post injury.

Brian coaches an amazing class. He’s always able to make it challenging. He is also great at modifying any exercise that people need to compensate for an injury. He’s terrific!!

Great workout. Lots of feedback. Good energy. Excellent rapport with class

Andrea is an incredible coach and is very supportive and helpful. I feel very comfortable learning new lifting styles and strategies from her. As I am new to CrossFit. Andrea is an excellent coach and very encouraging.

Andrea is always both motivating and supportive. I appreciate her detailed descriptions and feedback on form.

Great class. Drop-in from West Texas. Solid coaching and class flow. Altitude whooped my 🍑. Had a blast. Thanks for letting us join y’all!

Joon is very attentive to all of his members in class. He Has great demonstrations on the movements. I always feel safe in class. Joon is a fun instructor. Building muscles with every class!!

LOVED the class! Excellent, clear instruction, great pace and I loved the weight recommendations. Joon made my first strength class fun and genuinely non-intimidating.

Great coaching Will! Yes, I felt motiviated and supported’. Great job explaining movements, keeping everyone motivated and especially moving around helping folks improve technique.

Your group class coaching continues to improve. I appreciated your clear and direct communication at the whiteboard today, and during the workout the encouragement felt genuine and individualized.

Always smiling and happy to be alive. It’s contagious!!!

Linda is a great coach. Always there for support.

She did great! She provided a good option for a couple of movements that I couldn't do due to my shoulder's injury.

Linda was very supportive with it being my first day back in a while!

Andrea is the best coach! She always

Andrea is a great coach - I have always enjoyed her classes and today was no exception.

Lindsay is an amazing coach. She’s alway on her game and motivates her classes.

Linda does a fantastic job working with all the ladies in class. Linda is very supportive and gives each person positive coaching to enable us all to be better. I love going to class with Linda

Joon is the best! He’s super knowledgeable, friendly, and gives great coaching cues and encouragement.

Donnie provided a great warmup and prep for the strength as well as the WOD

Andrea was great at demonstrating the exercises. She was good at watching the clock and reminding us of proper technique. I personally appreciate even more coaching on personal technique if the class size is small enough. I know not everybody likes that but I do. It was a great class, especially because it was small.

As usual class today was great. I’ve been going now for about a year and never had a repeat yet. Her sense of humor helps you get through the hard parts and she’s always very watchful and corrects my form if I’m not exercising correctly. I’m so glad I joined up a year ago.

Andrea brings something new to each class, and challenges me to do a bit more. That’s appreciated every time.

Swimmingly!

Clear instructions; good pacing Fun class 😃

Excellent class. A good mix of exercises to cover upper & lower body plus abs. It was enough exercise to feel pleasantly tired yet invigorated. Suz had some suggestions and corrections on my exercises which I always appreciate.

Donny is great. He always makes sure to go through the movements at the start of class. And throughout the class as we change exercises. He’s also very nice and encouraging. I would like if he would come around to each group of people throughout the class and check on our form as we do our sets. Sometimes I’m not totally sure I am doing things correctly. Or sometimes I have not set up an Or sometimes I have not set up a certain exercise before. He’s always very responsive if we ask him to come over. Overall, I love coming to Donnie’s strength class. I have recommended it to many people.

I really love Suz’s coaching! She gave me some clear and concise tips on form, and watched to make sure I applied them correctly. She is positive and uses humor really effectively

Great adaptive class! Donnie gave me lots of advice on my form and how I could modify each exercise.

I enjoyed the class - keeping track of my progress each round was entertaining. I like the work hard then rest cycle. Also the fish game on the rowers was fun!

Excellent as always. Knows how to push just enough, but knows the limits. Always leaving every experience with him loads lighter.

Walking into a gym can so often feel intimidating, especially when you’re navigating different seasons of life and fitness. Joon’s warmth, kindness, and quiet confidence make you feel seen and supported right where you are—and his approach is always clear and encouraging. Catacombs isn’t just a workout—it’s a reminder of what you’re capable of both physically and mentally—and you’re never bored.

Brian was so helpful and fun. Good music. Classmates were encouraging. And brian gave me alternatives adapting to my post back surgery!

Lindsay is a pro! She is upbeat and thoughtful always. She roots for each person’s potential and has great suggestions for alternate exercises to support injury recovery and strength building goals.

Loved the workout and the stoplight check-in. I needed both of those today!

Will is a great coach who gives clear instructions on form and follows up with individual tips as needed and is always very encouraging!

Andrea is always a great help. Today she figured out a better way for me to do the hip thrusters. Thank you, Andrea!

Linda is always so fun and positive! She makes all members of the class feel welcome and has appropriate suggestions/modifications to improve our individual techniques. Her classes have an upbeat energy that leaves us all feeling good about ourselves and our progress!

Joon is very in touch with people where they are, how they are feeling and if they have any injuries. He truly cares.

Suz was once again helpful with modifications. I appreciate how you observe and give feedback and clarification.

Joon is always helpful and makes sure my position is correct for the movement. He’s super encouraging too!

Brian always makes the workouts fun and challenging! He has kept me coming to workouts for over 3 years!

Andrea brings great energy and instruction to class and creates a positive environment for everyone!

I had a great time today!

Great class with Coach Suz today. I appreciate her attention and making sure that I am doing the exercises correctly.

Always excellent!

He’s always positive, keeps ann eye on my position and pushes me nicely to challenge myself!

Very caring & helpful…left smiling!

As usual, Will is crushing it as a coach—kind, encouraging, and allegedly funny (we’re still debating that last one). He somehow manages to look out for both of us while making sure we don’t fake an injury to skip burpees. We seriously appreciate him—and, shockingly, we’re actually excited for the next Lifts workout. What kind of wizardry is that?!

Linda’s classes are the best. She keeps things interesting, provides great instructions, and is an overall fantastic coach. Thanks, Linda!

Andrea did great. She handled all of the various needs of the individual participants who had a broad range of skill levels.

Great coach who cares that we keep proper form when we lift which I loved!

Amazing. So encouraging.

Linda is an astute observer and quick to offer helpful feedback and modifications for any athete. She is motivating without being intimidating, and she plays the best music.

Joon was very well prepared for our class and clearly also prepared for the follow on classes. The facility is nice, the equipment is in good working order and everyone is very friendly.

Awesome gym, great coaching, fun class, and great members to workout along side of!

Marty was great, really enjoyed the Sunday morning class!

Marty always takes the time to teach at least one nuance of each lift/skill aside from the basics. I learned about jumping feet and how lifters change direction like other athletes today. He always wants to share a joke and a laugh too.

I love Andrea’s class and coaching style! She is challenging, fun, and she makes sure we move in safe, healthy ways. Her instruction is both informative and motivating. She’s a former educator… her compassion and love for teaching is obvious.

Stellar class as usual! Good balance of strength and dexterity training, backed by energetic music and personal attention.

Will met me where I was and offer we’d encouragement. I loved class!

Kmac is the best!!! I appreciate her dedication to helping me adapt my workouts and continue to push me in all the right ways. As an individual with a disability I never feel uncomfortable in class or less than. So incredibly thankful for the crew at Catacombs 🧡

Andrea's classes are always fun and well organized. I like how Andrea starts each class with a question for us to answer that allows us to get to know each other better. Andrea is explicit in her instructions and she always makes sure we know what each movement entails. During our workout, she corrects us if necessary and definitely inspires us to work harder. I also like her music! It's always worth it to get up early for a class coached by her.

You're a great coach. You are very good at describing and correcting the movements.

Will is thorough & makes class fun.

Andrea is amazing at offering modifications if needed

Good time at MURPH!

This was my first solo attempt at the MURPH. I’m 76 with hip-knee issues and Joon gave me exercise options that allowed me to complete without risking injury. He was constantly monitoring everyone’s exercises and providing positive encouragement to everyone. I had not expected to finish but with Joon’s coaching I finished the FULL MURPH in 1:06:03. YAH for me! Thank you Joon! 5- stars.

Good class. Love the mixture and hip openers before we did the workout

Donnie always comes to class on point with a positive attitude. When I have questions he has answers. Describes the movement and techniques.

Suz is so friendly, cheerful and enthusiastic. She adjusts the workout as needed to the participants individual needs. She is encouraging. Thank you, Suz!

Always supportive and provides an appropriate push!

I loved Linda’s class today. She is so knowledgeable and creates challenging sequences with options for everyone. She is fun and full of energy.

Great class!

I think Tracie’s coaching is excellent. She often breaks the ice with a question of the day, she helps individualize the lesson for every participant, she suggests corrections in form in a non-threatening way, she is out there cheering for us on the 400 m runs and at the end of the class asks us to congratulate and high five other members in the class. Having only just started at Catacombs, the gym has a welcoming family feel. Though there are people I know there are many new people I am getting to know. Would be a great gym for newcomers to Durango.

Always a great class with Brian. Fun and energetic. Great at motivating to do your best while checking on your form to make sure exercises are done correctly. Helping with modifications when needed. Finding Catacombs’s gym has been a game changer for me.

Upbeat. Very personable. Listened and offered alternative exercises. Explained online process well. Thanks!

Will goes out of his way to encourage everyone and keep the positivity going when it gets tough. Amazing instructor. I’m always excited when I see he’s coaching for the day!!

Lindsay is an awesome coach. First off, her energy is excellent. She was engaged the whole class. She does an amazing job at checking in with each class member through the different phases of the class - warmup, lift, workout. Her cues were on point without being overwhelming and she does a great job at giving a cue then letting the athlete chew/work on it without immediately giving follow up cues. 10/10 would recommend!

Great strength cycle, pr’ed my front squat by 15 lbs. Kelsey has taught me a lot about breathing and bracing in the last 8 weeks that has really helped improve my lifting technique. Great and unique programming too!!

So great to be back after 4 months. Welcoming friendly group and thanks to Andrea for modifications to make this program work for me today!

Great warm up. Your demonstration and queues make me better all the time.

I always appreciate Marty’s attention to detail and willingness to explain everything so well! He knows his stuff. Thanks Marty!

Excellent! It was my first CrossFit class ever and I felt comfortable, safe and challenged. I loved it and *might* have drunk the Kool-Aid! :)

Love taking

She timed us perfectly and best tips for pacing!

Lindsay is an amazing coach! Super knowledgeable and encouraging.

Great coaching as always! Motivating and consistent! Keep up the great work!

Joon was great- I had to jump in mid way through the cycle and he got me up to speed in everything with correct technique!

I always love taking a class with Lindsay! Lindsay has very positive energy, is inclusive and always helps cater the class to my specific needs. My form has definitely improved with her coaching!

Will is an excellent instructor! Very encouraging and supportive! He is attentive to giving helpful feedback on form and technique. I feel so lucky to have found the longevity lifts class! I also appreciate Will's sense of humor and overall fun personality!

I love being at Brian’s class. He is always paying close attention. Make sure everybody safe and helping me modify, which is often what I need as well as helping me achieve my goals.

Thank you, Lindsay for making me my best self! Appreciate your spark, encouragement and feedback when I can improve my wall stands!!! You rock

Donnie is a great coach

Well organized challenging work out. Brian gives more challenging and less challenging optional modifications for each part of the work out so that it fits everyone. Brian gives good feedback and provides plenty of enthusiasm.

Will taught a great class today! He's fun and motivating and checks in with everybody. Thanks Will!

One of the greatest attributes of the staff at Catacombs is the innate skill of the coaches to continuously present their knowledge and interest in the details to the athletes in each class. In Donnie's class today, he was consistently nudging each of us, gently but firmly, to go a little deeper into our squats, to tighten my core on my kips, and to make sure to come all the way to the top of my push-ups. Small details that might otherwise go unmentioned or unnoticed, but with Donnie those small details matter, and he reminds us of those in unthreatening and supportive ways. Always great to continuously work on the small things that add up to massive gains over the long haul, and the coaches at Catacombs do it better than anyone!

I felt so welcomed. Suz integrated me into the class seamlessly, explained the exercises, coached me as I was doing the exercises and was a source of positive encouragement. Could not be happier.

She was so welcoming. The pace of the class was perfect. She holds the group really well and make one feel part of something. The ice breaker is important and maybe my favorite part. Love the functional part of the exercises.

Kelsey strikes the perfect balance of instruction, encouragement, and motivation. She has a remarkable ability to pinpoint where you’re struggling with technique and offer alternative verbal cues that truly make a difference.

Andrea was an excellent coach. She made us feel welcome and gave us any support and advice that we needed to have a great class. She was very upbeat and very encouraging as well.

I LOVE when will coaches. He has such a great way of being approachable and explaining things. Humble AND smart.

Linda is not only a great coach who is progressive in breaking down old movement beliefs, but she also provides very tailored adaptations to everyone in the class. Her joy and enthusiasm are contagious.

Will is a great coach. He’s always a smiling face when I walk into class. He’s very thorough in explaining the workout, as well as the modifications available for each exercise. He is clear and kind when correcting my posture and/or movement. A great coach all around.

Will did fantastic today. He is always fantastic. He is a pleasure to be around, he makes sure the class knows each other and he watches you like a hawk to make sure your posture and alignment are perfect. I highly recommend him to anyone thinking of taking one of his classes!

Linda is an incredible coach! She is so empowering and gives great feedback even in a group setting. She makes lifting fun and approachable to all!

Just the right amount of explanation and encouragement- great to be back in class!

Andrea made the class very fun while also offering instruction!! Her demonstrations and pointers were very helpful.

It was my first class and my first time back in the gym since covid. I will definitely be back. It offers enough flexibility to make it as hard as you want and having other people working out made it way more motivating. Andrea was so helpful and supportive!

Suz was awesome as always. Very attentive in making sure we use the correct form to prevent injury and suggesting modifications when necessary.

Thanks for supporting me in my first classes!

Will was fantastic! The class was well executed and a blast. We will be back.

Joon does a great job explaining the workouts and then giving specific feedback and instruction to each individual as needed. I’m excited to be back doing the WOD’s after a 2 year switch to Strength. The WoD is what I need currently and provides plenty of strength with the bonus of cardio.

Super welcoming and very knowledgeable. Made class fun. Great warmup too!

Lindsay was awesome and encouraging and fun!

I always feel so welcomed as a drop-in. The community is strong. The class was great.

Love Andrea’s leadership. She makes class challenging and fun.

Coach Joon is absolutely top notch. His classes are always taught extremely well, being simultaneously challenging and fun. He pays attention to each person in the class, and he finds a way to help them find their edge. I always leave having learned something that will improve my skills and fitness. I can’t recommend Coach Joon enough - he is truly unique for his ability to bring compassion and motivation to his teachings.

Joon did great definitely makes everyone feel involved and i enjoyed my first session. I signed up for a membership immediately after class and will be coming regularly.

Great job, good energy and great connection with us “oldies”.

Joon always does a great job!

Engaging with and encouraging all athletes.

Donnie’s classes are great. He gives clear instruction, great modification options, and I appreciate his feedback throughout the workouts.

Another great workout. Donnie, explains the workout clearly, keeps you motivated, and is there to assist if needed. The intensity of the workout has increased this week and it has been a great progression.

Will always has an upbeat, welcoming, and encouraging attitude. He pays close attention and gives individualized instruction during class.

Helpful tips throughout workout. I wish in general that coaches would throw out a few suggestions for stretches at the end of class while cleaning up or for home use later that day.

Will is an excellent coach! He is excellent at teaching all the challenging lifts. He makes workouts FUN! Thanks Will for being awesome!

Kelsey is attentive, approachable and in tune with each of her athletes. Great class!

Suz is a great coach, Always takes the time to warm us up and explain the exercises. Then very encouraging throughout class.

I appreciate the feedback for improving my form. I don’t always receive that from other instructors.

Will did a great job! Always a good attitude. Can take it and dish it out😜 I “enjoyed” the work out format today…

Class was so fun Coach Andrea was supper energetic and friendly, Movements and scales were explained…. Great Coaching!! 💪💪💪

Will is a great coach. He's supportive, engaged, helpful, but also isn't too serious. I enjoy his classes.

It was a good workout with Andrea giving good feedback.

Great. I enjoy her classes.

Thank you Marty. As always you bring a level of professional to every class.

I can’t think of a better way to spend my Saturday morning than with Marty J coaching me through class. He makes sure everyone knows the moves, the modifications and doing them to the best of their abilities!

Will is a great coach! Always brings good energy and humor to class, and steps in to make small tweaks on movements so that I can be more efficient with my energy.

Great class today! Marty is knowledgeable and professional!

Class was well managed and timely! Movements/workout were all well explained. Andrea motivated us all through the workout! I <3 our coaches at Catacombs!

Amazing!!! So happy to be there! I had such a great time and it felt so good to just turn off my brain and turn on my muscles

After being gone for a few months, it was wonderful to return & be greeted by the coaches & classmates! The enthusiasm of seeing me again was appreciated!

Kind and attentive, very knowledgeable

Andrea was amazing!! So helpful and tons of positive reinforcement!!

She did great! Kept us motivated the entire time and helped with timing our WOD.

I like how Donnie brought a nice community feeling to the class this morning!
