Starting Strength Denver
Hello Everyone! This will be the thread for all things Starting Strength Denver.
My name is Jay Livsey and I am opening two Starting Strength Gyms in the Denver area, starting with our first one this summer. I found Starting Strength through Crossfit when I realized I wasn’t getting stronger and couldn’t figure out why. Turns out the simple answer was the correct answer. Since attending a seminar in 2016, I have joked with my wife about emailing Rip to send us a coach so we could open a gym in Denver.
After our second baby, my wife started training again and quickly advanced past my coaching ability. I referred her to Jayson Ball in Boulder so she could get some actual coaching. We quickly discovered that Jayson was booked solid which only reinforced my assumption that there was a market for this. About three weeks later, Rip posted the article announcing the goal of opening 100 Gyms in five years. I scheduled time to discuss stats in Denver with Ray and quickly signed on after learning about the numbers here.
Let’s kick off this thread with any questions you have about Starting Strength Denver. I am incredibly excited about this opportunity and look forward to meeting everyone in one of our new Starting Strength Gyms!

Jay is a sharp entrepreneur, a successful real estate investor, and an all around good guy. He's also an ex pro-golfer and we're looking forward to showing his country club buddies that Starting Strength = hitting the ball farther.
Jay, we're glad to have you at the helm in Denver!

Early leader for our first location is a spot in LoHi, 38th and Pecos area. I would bet our second location is somewhere south. There has been A LOT of interest for Littleton/Centennial/Tech Center and Highlands Ranch area.Originally Posted by Paulbfast

I expected the DTC, but not 38th and Pecos.
Thanks!

He's been super helpful for SS Houston as well with all his old college buddies becoming lawyers here in Texas in the areas where we're needing questions answered...

Thankfully a coach already spelled out how this can help improve your golf game (shameless self plug): Strength Training for Golf | Nick D'Agostino
Hopefully it can at least get a few of them in the door lol

Thanks Nick! I remember reading the article but completely forgot you wrote it! It confirmed what I quietly suspected, great article! I'll be spreading that around for people to read, thanks for the reminder!
