Jamie Atlas · 6× 5280 Top of the Town winner · 2× Denver A-List winner · 9NEWS fitness expert
Hi, glad you're here.
Which one of these is you?
Named 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.

★★★★★ "I met Jamie when I had maximized my physical therapy program after ACL and medial meniscus reconstruction. It was the perfect transition for a "back to sport" program. We worked a ton on functional strength and stability. Thanks to Jamie's guidance, I was able to ski 50 days in my return to skiing, 55 the following year, and 61 days in '25–'26. In addition to the results, I saw, Jamie had a good evidence based approach which really spoke to me as I am a medical doctor myself."
★★★★★ "I found Jamie through a recommendation from a coworker after hurting my back after a strenuous backpacking trip and lucky for me we work in the same building! Since being rehabilitated from my back pain, I continue to see Jamie ongoing for regular workouts (since he's the only person i would trust to work me hard but not put me are risk of reinjury) and probably will forever. At Jamie's studio I get a caring, results focused top-tier personal trainer experience paired with the clinical precision of a physical therapist. Why would I go anywhere else?"
★★★★★ "Jamie has been my trainer for 3 1/2 years. I came to him as a 60 something woman who had never been on a workout routine. He has transformed me into a lean, mean work out machine. I am in the best shape of my life. He excels in targeted therapies. If your hip is giving you pain, he has specific exercises to relieve the pain. Joint or spine issues, he has a solution. My workouts address weight training for strength, balance, stretching and Pilates. He excels in creating individual work outs that give results. I highly recommend him as a trainer if you need rehabilitation or just need to get into shape."
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.
