Authentic Strength & Performance Institute, Denver

What services does your business offer and what makes your business stand out from the competition? ASPI offers classes, group training, and one on one personal training. A couple of our specialties are 30 minute HIIT sessions and continuation of physical therapy. The small private studio is a non-intimidating environment that is welcoming to all fitness levels.

What was the inspiration to start or run this business? After owning a gym I quickly realized that I really wanted to help as many people as I could with personal training, so I sold my gym and opened ASPI. Opening my own studio gave me more freedom to do the kind of workouts I wanted as well as help people that needed to continue their physical therapy. Too many of the people I met that were in the gym trying to do their own continuation of physical therapy were completely lost and needed help, so i opened my studio to bridge that gap between the physical therapist and working out on your own.

What do you love most about your job? I enjoy helping people accomplish their goals and watching them gain the confidence to do things they never thought they'd be able to do.

What is the best reaction you've ever gotten from a customer? Seeing the joy and excitement on a customer's face when they do an exercise that they never could before or even doing an exercise that they were told they'd never be able to do as well helping them realize they are stronger than they know.
