FAQ

A Bonza class is different in many ways than your regular workout. Imagine a class where the instructor had already been able to connect with you about what was important to you, knew your joint issues, your workout preferences and the big goal you were working towards.

Now imagine that it didn’t cost as much as 1-1 training, and that you got to do it as part of a small group workout where you were in class with other people working out, encouraging and being inspired by your efforts and determination. On top of that, fill the class with movements and exercise equipment that you found interesting and new and were appreciative of the subtle technique tips that personalized each exercise for your particular needs/goals. That’s why we offer small group training. To give you a chance to workout with others for less than a 1-1.

1-1 personal training session, but with more personal attention than a generic, ‘hope I’m doing it right’ group exercise class.

Bonza Bodies Fitness stands for a new way of thinking about fitness and working out. We strive to make every class interesting, different and just intense enough that you leave having had a great workout but not so intense that you can’t move the next day. We prefer to leave you the use of your body the next day.

It’s well known that while exercise can change the muscles and sculpt the body, if you aren’t taking care of what’s covering the muscle then you can miss the majority of results you’re looking for. We have designed our own realistic, specialized in house nutrition plan that includes a 52 page e-book that helps you understand not only what to eat, but how to eat it and when to eat it so you can maximize results for your efforts. Why did we create our own? Two reasons (1) So that when you want to know how to tweak it you can go to the people that designed it (2) because it works. It works great.

Before we can know which personal trainer is right for you, we need to know what kind of workout, flexibility program and attention to nutrition you need. We also need to do a full body and lifestyle assessment and spend time getting to know you. That’s why each Bonza member gets their own personal fitness concierge and master trainer to oversee their results. Here’s how the process works:

That’s generally what people expect in a personal training 1-1 environment. We work hard to know your body and to share certain information on you so no matter what class you enter, 1 your instructor knows 1 Whats important to you 2 What kind of a workout you expect 3 is making sure you’re moving towards your goals in the best way possible by tweaking the exercise and adjusting movements where necessary to keep you on the fast (and safe!) track.

When you know you’re guaranteed a certain level of care and attention within your workout, you can 1 feel confident that you’re not wasting your time 2 maximize the results you should be getting and 3 feel confident that you’ll be corrected if you do an exercise with less than optimal technique.

We do! We have bathrooms, lockers, showers, water fountains and are currently working on installing a partridge in a pear tree! Just kidding about the partridge. We have all that other stuff though.

It’s not only possible, it’s encouraged. We’ve all been to those fitness centers where you’re pressured to join up right away. At Bonza, we’ll offer you a 6 class pass that is good for all of our classes. We’ll even give you a free assessment so you can know that we know what your body does well, what your goals are so you can get the full Bonza experience.

You’ll find us on the basement level of 1800 Glenarm Place (just across from the beautiful church on 18th and Broadway). We hold classes as early as 5am and as late as 630pm depending on the day. We also hold classes at Red Rocks Ampitheater most of the year round, where we meet near the top circle parking lot by the double doors of the visitors center/restaurant.

We pride ourselves on being nothing like any gym class you’ve ever been through. We use a variety of unique equipment and always keep the workouts fresh. We include squats with press, lunges with twist and push, pull and tilt movements to work the muscles the way they were designed to work in a way that challenges the strength and cardio together as one.

We guarantee you’ll never do a burpee, jumping jack, clamshell or fire hydrant in our workouts. Everything we do is functional and full body – it’s designed to get you results and burn fat off your body fast.

You can expect a full body warmup, some gentle dynamic stretching and strengthening followed by a full body circuit. Circuits will include cables, ViPRs, Serius Straps, Dumbbells, Rollerboards and Sandbells (and that’s the short list!). We use a variety of unique tools to keep your body guessing to keep your results and workout at peak. Workouts will finish with a core component followed by a relaxing lights-out stretch session. You’ll always have fun and you’ll learn things about your body and working out that you never knew. Your trainers are amongst the best educated in the country and are there to serve you as best they can.

It wouldn’t be unfair to say that we welcome all bodies and minds to Bonza, as our training style can sometimes have a 65 year old grandmother working out next to her 22 year old co-worker at lunchtime. It’s our job to adjust the workout to your specific needs, not the other way around. If you watch our videos and look at what we do, you’ll get an idea of how we do things around here – but don’t be fooled by any workouts that look too hard for you to attend – everyone starts light and works their way up. We’d rather have you back for another class than have you unable to walk the next day.

We offer a free 6 class pass for whoever wants to come see what we do and how we do it. Following that, we offer drop ins at $25 per class, and unlimited small group personal training membership for 297 for a single month or 197 for a month to month, cancel anytime agreement (our most popular option). This includes your assessment and orientation which all members must go through to allow us to understand their goals, challenges and obstacles and help them overcome them.

Women and men of all ages,shapes and sizes are welcome at Bonza Bodies Fitness. You will inspire and be inspired by others on the same journey of self-improvement as you. We pride ourselves in our ‘no judgment’ supportive class environment, where everyone is encouraged to work hard to improve against themselves, not others.

While individual improvement varies for the level of commitment you are ready to apply, those who follow the Bonza Food Plan and attend 2-3 Bonza classes a week tend to lose between 7-20 lbs in the first month. First you will notice strength, flexibility and balance improvements, then clothes starting to fit differently. Clients at Bonza have lost up to 95lbs, and wedding and event preparation are a specialty of ours.

While other clubs offer high tech, it can be hard to find a location that offers high touch.

At Bonza, we take note to:

• truly know and understand each members goals, likes, dislikes and fears.
• Keep class sizes small to make sure we can pay careful attention to you during the workout.
• keep workouts changing to keep interest high and results fast. Never the same workout twice!
• to maintain accountability and progress through email, phone and face-to-face check-ins (but not in a harassing way – we’re all about the tough love delivered with a soft smile).

For those who are afraid and don’t know what we do, we offer a no-strings attached 6 class pass (which is good for all classes on our schedule), so you can truly know what we offer, but also know how much we care about what we do.

It’s important to us that before you join (not just us, but any fitness facility) that you know what to expect, who you are training with and be comfortable and familiar with our ‘home sweet home’ before joining our family.

We know that workouts are simply a piece of a successful transformation for our clients.  That’s why as part of our membership we offer:

• An initial joint/lifestyle/goals assessment to make sure we have your needs and challenges locked down and a plan put together for the best path to success
• Access to the Bonza Bodies Workouts in our downtown Denver location.
• Access to our shower facilities and lockers
• Our 52 page weight loss PDF book-in-progress “How to be your leanest and healthiest in the fastest time possible” It’s great bedside reading for insomniacs. The hero wins in the end and the bad guy dies (sorry to ruin it for you).
• Personalized attention, qualified trainers and a knowledge that your results are our results.  And we want those results… yes we do!
