New Vitruvian Fitness Update

Tom Wigginton • July 15, 2015

Here’s a short update about the progress we’re making to get the New Vitruvian Fitness open and ready for workouts.

We love the space and think you’re going to love it, too. The main workout room is super spacious with a strength training area large enough for 10 worker-outers, plus a 50-foot long track of indoor turf for plyometrics, agility drills, movement prep, games and picnics in the grass! We’ve got nicer bathrooms, a shower, a welcoming reception and shoe-changing area, plus a lounge area with wifi for you to relax before or after your workout. And the room next door will host our awesome spin and yoga programs.

To get the space ready for you, we’ve had our designer (Emily – did you know she is also an interior designer?), the electrician (Ernie), painters (Glenn and Louis), handymen (John and me), delivery guys, my brother (another John), and the fire marshall (Kelly) all chipping in and doing their part.

As far as our timeline goes, the painting started this week. Once that is done (hopefully Friday), we can install the rubber floor and begin moving our equipment back in. We are waiting on a couple of items from the city permitting office, but we anticipate getting our Wheat Ridge business license the week of the 20th. Keep your fingers crossed!

We’re also updating our website and making updates to how we package our training and classes. We think you’ll appreciate those changes, too.

Here are some before pictures for your enjoyment. As soon as it’s safe to bring you in for tours, we’ll let you know – we are so excited to share our new space with you!

These 3 Tests Could Change How You Train

By Tom Wigginton • June 27, 2025

How Vitruvian’s new partnership with DexaFit Denver helps you fight bone loss, build muscle, and personalize your fitness – starting with real data. Vitruvian Fitness has partnered with DexaFit Denver to bring you three powerful tools for assessing and improving your health: the DEXA Scan , VO₂ Max Test , and Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) Test . These aren’t gimmicks – they’re scientifically backed ways to track meaningful progress in your training. If you're in your 40s, 50s, or 60s, you're at a turning point where training isn’t just about looking better – it’s about aging better . As the saying goes, “What gets measured gets managed.” And just because that’s a relic from my corporate past doesn’t make it any less true. Like your annual bloodwork, these tests give you a snapshot of important health markers that offer direction, motivation, and a baseline to measure progress against. Here’s what each test measures: DEXA Scan – bone density, lean body mass, and visceral fat VO₂ Max Test – cardiovascular fitness and aerobic efficiency Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) – how many calories you burn at rest (your metabolic baseline)
