Jamie Atlas · 5280's Best Personal Trainer in Denver, three times · 9NEWS fitness expert
Hi, glad you're here.
Which one of these is you?
Voted Denver's best personal trainer three times by 5280 magazine. Rehab specialist. Downtown.
Pick a door and I'll talk to you about your thing, not everybody's thing. Rehab and nutrition coaching come with every session, one client at a time, two blocks off the 16th Street Mall.
Most of what I do I want to get better at my sport without getting hurt again. Ski, golf, run, lift, pickleball. Training built around the joint you're worried about. 
Second door I'm hurt and I want to get better. The PT, the chiro, the injections. Where the system drops off is where we begin. 
Third door I want to lose the weight and keep the muscle. On GLP-1 or not. Strength first, so what comes off is fat and what stays is you.

Jamie arrived from Sydney in 2001 and has trained Denver ever since: recreational youth athletes, a few UFC, NFL, NBA and NHL athletes he isn't allowed to name, and a great many Coloradans who just wanted their knee back.
5280 magazine's Top of the Town has named him Best Personal Trainer in Denver three times, and the studio Best Boot Camp and Best Gym. Add the Denver A-List's Best Personal Trainer and Best Boot Camp and that is seven awards in four years, one basement.

He has a gift for this work and we couldn't be more grateful for his time and expertise helping her navigate her pain and rehab!! Five stars all the way. Thank you Jamie!"
Things people ask before they book
Are you really the best personal trainer in Denver?
5280 magazine said so three times, and I'm grateful. The truer answer is that "best" depends on what you need. If you want someone to count reps at you, there are cheaper trainers within four blocks and I'll happily name two. If you want to train hard around a knee, a back or a shoulder that has a history, with the rehab and the nutrition coaching handled by the same person, that is the thing I'm best at, and the reviews above are the evidence.
Is this a gym?
No. It's a private studio, one client at a time, on the basement level of an office building downtown. Nobody is waiting for the squat rack.
I've got a bad knee (back, shoulder). Can I still train?
That is most of who I train. The first visit is an assessment so we know what your body will accept today, and the program is built around that joint rather than around avoiding it.
Do I need a referral or insurance?
No. Cash pay, no forms. I'm a personal trainer with rehab training, so nothing here goes through insurance.
What does the $57 assessment involve?
Thirty minutes. Your story, a look at how you move, one change you can measure before you leave, and my plain read on whether I can help. If I can't, I'll tell you who can.
What if I work downtown and only have a lunch hour?
Thirty-minute sessions exist for exactly that. Walk over, train, walk back. The 6:30am and 5:15pm slots are the other option, and they're open most weeks.
Thirty minutes. One measurable change. Then you decide.
A 30-minute assessment, $57, in the studio or on Zoom. If it's not a fit I'll say so in the first half hour, and I'll know who is.
