Mountain Shadows CrossFit

Community Driven Functional Fitness in Colorado Springs

NORTHWEST COLORADO SPRINGS

A Gym That Feels Like Home

Mountain Shadows CrossFit is a coach-owned gym on the northwest side of Colorado Springs, a few minutes from Garden of the Gods and Rockrimmon. We opened in 2024 with a simple idea: the best training happens when you have people in your corner.

The work is hard. That is the point. You will sweat, you will struggle through the last few reps, and you will have a room full of people cheering you through them. Nobody here is impressed by how much you lift on day one. They are impressed that you showed up.

Our coaches are Level 2 CrossFit certified, with backgrounds in nursing, exercise science, strength and conditioning for collegiate and military athletes, and ultrarunning. They know how to scale a workout for a first-timer and how to push a competitor.
