A little history

Historically, downtown Denver health clubs were either huge, expensive places where people either went to “network,” or simply to steam and Jacuzzi themselves. Fitness was secondary to massive lobbies, restaurants, pro shops, and other features that had nothing to do with fitness. Alternatively, smaller "gyms" were inexpensive but only offered a packed workout room where you spent more time waiting for a treadmill than walking on one.

Lifestyles, work schedules and activity levels have changed over the years, so why didn’t the health clubs reflect that change? Rather than sit around and scratch our heads, we created Dumbbells and Dumbbells Too. We offer the personal touch, as well as equipment and classes that meet the needs of busy working professionals.

 The Tabor Center
Dumbbells has the only “meathead” free weightroom of any full scale health club. If you don’t know what a meathead is, here’s Webster’s unofficial definition:

meathead (mi:t hed) n. a primitive gym dweller that mostly exhibits unnecessarily loud grunting, weight dropping, scowling, strutting and flexing. Known to be intimidating, distracting, and/or annoying.

Why don’t we have any meatheads? Well, it starts with our comprehensive DNA analysis test when we sign people up. Just kidding. Actually, Dumbbells just doesn’t allow the types of behavior that make most health clubs uncomfortable. We want everyone to feel like they belong. This philosophy has served us well. In our club, you will see beginners, experts, young, old, fat, and skinny- you get the picture.

That’s one example of why Dumbbells has been successful for the last decade. Check out some of the other special things we do to help our members get results without dreading the process.
