I have been going to Altitude for several years now, and cant say enough great things about both the community John has fostered and the way the workouts complement my life outside the gym.Community:There is an immediate sense of community at Altitude that is grounded in a respect for the diversity of members lives outside the gym. People are welcoming and always supportive of whatever your goals are - from just getting your body in the door to training for bigger life or athletic goals. Through an initial introduction in the gym I have gotten to know people around town outside the gym!Workouts:I have found the workouts at Altitude to be a great complement to my general health and wellbeing, as well as a great foundation for outdoor activities. I am not always the most enthusiastic gym goer, but while training for long endurance events I have felt strong and injury-free. The workouts John and the coaches put together are challenging but also incredibly thoughtful and smart.

I felt very welcomed at Altitude. I received some immediate coaching and tips which I really appreciate. The coaching staff was highly skilled and had a great attitude. As a CrossFitter, I found the focused workouts to be an excellent strength complement to a lot of the body weight stuff I’m more used to. Highly recommend!

I transitioned to Altitude after doing CrossFit for several years. CrossFit is great in many ways but I was starting to feel a bit beat up after the workouts which got in the way of the other activities I like to do. I was also starting to get bored with the super short, super intense CrossFit workouts. After making the switch to Altitude I would say one of the main differences Ive noticed is that Im super energized after the workouts rather than just trying to recover. Also, the programming is much more relevant and complimentary to outdoor sports and Im already noticing my aerobic capacity and endurance improving when I hit the trails. All the coaches have been great and very welcoming. They are CrossFit certified so they know all about proper lifting techniques and have a keen focus on injury prevention.

I have been working with Caitlin for the passed 4 months and I absolutely love it. She has tailored my workouts to me and helped me build my confidence. At first I was out of shape and not a gym type of person, now I actually look forward to going and starting my day there. I highly recommend her!

Ive been working out at Altitude for the past 8 months and I absolutely love it. The coaches are personable, knowledgeable and encouraging. The workouts are challenging, balanced, and designed to scale to match wherever you are in your fitness journey. I was also blown away by how well this gym adapted to meet member needs during COVID shutdowns. They allowed members to checkout equipment, and then cranked out top-notch home workout content each week; this gym single handedly got me through quarantine. Theres something different about this place that you just have to experience for yourself.

I have been a member of Altitude Athletics since it’s inception. I had to take all of last ski season off due to a ski injury. Altitude has helped get me back on the slopes in the best early season shape I have ever been in. Thank you AA team. You rock!

I love Altitude. The workouts are hard but varied, keeping me engaged and challenged. But the best part of Altitude is the people. The coaches are always available and take a personal interest in making sure the workouts are effective and helpful for all participants. And the whole community there feels like family—people to cheer you on and encourage you. Some of my closest friends outside of the gym are folks I met at Altitude.

Altitude Athletics is a top-notch gym. The coaches and ownership are friendly, professional and personable. It’s an awesome environment that’s approachable for anyone as they’ve cultivated a solid community of friendly and supportive members. For me, the gym has improved my daily routine and has helped immensely in improving my physical and mental health...as well as injury prevention and body maintenance to support long term health and fitness. Workouts and training are always fresh and exciting, and very well coached. When family and friends visit from out of town, they always look forward to joining me for another drop-in sesh at Altitude. Highly recommend!

From day one, John and all of his coaches have supported my CrossFit development. Whether its technique improvement or performance encouragement, all of the coaches consistently supports every member of the class each and every day. After 15 months of CrossFit with Altitude Athletics, I have been able to take my trail running performance to their highest levels. Altitude Athletics welcomes every level of athlete and supports their progress and personal goals. As a result, CrossFit has now become an important part of my life.

I have been a member here for several years and love it. Great programming, coaching, equipment and good atmosphere to push yourself to achieve your goals. I am impressed by the effort John has made to maintain the gym as sanitary as possible and implementing the socially distant workout stations. I feel safe and protected working out here and we need gyms like this. This gym RAWKS!

I have been going to Altitude for quite some time and, even when I was living elsewhere, I considered this my home gym. I have made some of my greatest friends here and always love meeting new people that show up. We work hard, we laugh hard, and the programming supports me for what I need in a gym workout, but also for the activities I enjoy outside of the gym as well. John and the other coaches make you feel welcome, safe, and encouraged with a side of laughter. Love this place!

I have been with Altitude Athletics since its inception. All of the coaches are very knowledgeable and the members incredibly supportive. All of the coaches work hard to make sure each exercise works for you. Teaching proper technique and scaling to fit, if necessary. The members and coaches have become like family and I am missing them all during the lockdown but glad for the wonderful online content. It helps to remind me that they are still there, concerned about their members health and well being. Thank you AA!

John was my first coach back in 2009 and ever since, this style of training has absolutely transformed my life in every way possible. Thanks to his coaching and motivation I decided to pursue the gym business myself in 2011 and ever since have been trying to help people in the way John helped me. I would absolutely recommend Altitude Athletics to anyone who is looking to learn how to train like a real athlete, while doing injury prevention work commonly found in any PT office. Knowledge is power! Go give it a try.

Altitude Athletics is unlike any other gym. They have created a fun and welcoming culture with personalized support for meeting your nutrition and fitness goals. The workouts are challenging but scale-able to meet the needs of anyone. John and his staff are extremely knowledgeable and make sure that members are using correct form and pushing themselves so they can get the best results and improve their fitness. Although I do not live locally- I attend Altitude Athletics whenever I am in town and I feel welcomed and supported by all of the members and the staff every time I am there!

Love this place. The programming is top notch and I learned that its not by accident. The owner and coaches take members health/fitness very seriously and its obvious that they take the time to stay current on the latest science and methods so they don’t become stagnant. Been following the programming for more than 2 years and i don’t feel broken down like I have with other programs. At the same time, I also feel healthier than I have with any other program while also continuing to get stronger. Great atmosphere and community of people!

Altitude Athletics is awesome! John and his coaches provide a welcoming helpful environment to everyone no matter your age or fitness level. If you have fitness goals, this is the way to get results. I’ll be honest because I don’t think I’m alone, but both my wife and I were a little intimidated by the CrossFit stigma. All I can say is we took the plunge and with some initial private coaching to learn some movements and such a welcoming environment, almost 2 years later we haven’t looked back. These classes are so much better than going to your standard gym and pretending to work out on the elliptical machine. Ignore the CrossFit fear and focus on the Athletics side. Altitude Athletics is the best!

John is the man! I was searching around for a CrossFit type gym and the time I spent at Altitude was awesome!John took the time to get to know me, understand what I was looking for and what my hesitations were (I have a back injury). We agreed that it wasnt time for me to start working out full time at his gym and then he suggested a few next steps that have helped me A LOT!Im not far off now from being in a place physically to start working out at Johns place... and Im really looking forward to it.A quick note about the community: When I stopped in to observe a class, multiple people from the gym said hi to me and asked me questions to get to know me. I instantly felt welcome and accepted.If youre looking for a gym with an awesome community and knowledgeable staff you owe it to yourself to check out Altitude Athletics.

I have been doing CrossFit since 2001 and have owned and operated my own CrossFit gym. Having worked out at dozens of gyms around the country, I will say that John and his team are some of the most professional and up-to-date coaches Ive ever worked with! They are total badasses and the gym atmosphere is approachable and fun.

Altitude Athletics is incomparable in the services + environment it provides. I had taken a couple years off from CrossFit style workouts and tried Altitude out (somewhat reluctantly). I was equally blown away by coaches and members, both welcoming and knowledgeable. Each class is approachable and scaleable, and now after year as a member I find myself surpassing my fitness goals while surrounded by a community of awesome individuals.

I have been working out at Altitude Athletics/Coldsmoke CrossFit for over six years. I love this gym! John and his coaches are amazing, professional and extremely knowledgeable about techniques to help you safely working out. I highly recommend trying it out!

Altitude Athletics has provided me with the perfect balance of fitness, motivation, and community for the past six years. The efficient programming and excellent coaching has allowed me to get in better shape and improve my mental health, while still juggling work and family life. Great people, great gym.

My family (2 boys, wife and myself) have been members of the Altitude family for 6+ years and I can truly say, Altitude Athletics gets it. They understand that it is not just about the Work out of the Day, or how much you can lift, or how fast you row, it’s about a lifestyle. They have incorporated very functional fitness into their ever-changing workouts, as well as including Movement Screenings by Physical Therapists for their members, along with Nutrition education. They understand that a healthy lifestyle starts at a young age and that’s why they have a Kids Crossfit class. John and his incredible team of coaches teach and demonstrate the proper way to do each movement, whether it is an air squat, or Olympic Weightlifting Movements, so injuries should not occur. They are focused on doing things correctly, not just for speed, as they want members coming back uninjured, day after day. John and his staff are AWESOME!!!! They can help every level of person in every class. From the person that is a first timer and trying to just get back into a healthy state, or the competitive athlete that wants to get bigger, faster, stronger, they will help you succeed on your journey. You wrap all of these great things into the Community that Altitude Athletics has built, and you have the best gym in the Valley, and I would argue anywhere!!! If you are looking at Gyms around Bozeman, I encourage you to give Altitude Athletics a try, you defiantly get more than what you pay for.

The world of working out, and even more so Crossfit, can be intimidating. The challenge that awaits once you walk through the door demands of you; and this can make the first step so difficult to take. However when you walk through the doors of Altitude Athletics, what you find will amaze and transform you. The knowledgeable and experienced staff are ready and waiting to show you how you can become a better version of yourself. And the community which you undertake this endeavor with is one with whom you create bonds that stretch far beyond the walls of this gym. Whether you are an experienced CrossFit Athlete who is looking for a local gym or an out of shape novice who desires a change, Altitude Athletics is ready to welcome you with open arms. What awaits you at this little athletic oasis will blow your mind!!!!!!!

This gym is awesome! I have been a member since 2016 and all the members are like family. The programming is top notch. John and all the coaches focus on proper movement technique, something lacking at most other gyms. If you are looking to just get started on your fitness, longing to get back into it, or just need a change, Altitude Athletics is the gym for you!

This place, hands down, makes me a better person (father, husband, friend, athlete). I cant say enough about the staff, members and programming. Give it a shot! I guarantee it will exceed your expectations.Cheers,Bomber - Bozeman Local 20+ Years

John and his solid crew have created an amazing gym that attracts amazing people. Its my pleasure to be part of this community that John has helped create. The coaching and programming are top-notch; all are welcome. Thank you John for all that you do and give!

John Murie is a fabulous personal trainer! I am in my late 60s and have been wanting to build strength and improve my balance ... but I have never liked being in a gym. John has changed all that! I love going to Altitude Athletics ... and I love the results.

Love this gym!! The diversity and intensity in their programming as well as the coaching is awesome no matter what level of fitness you are at. Hands down the Best part of my day!!

I joined Altitude in 2016 to try crossfit and endurance style training. The people and culture are amazing, I work from home so having a social outlet is great. Mostly importantly, being strong is awesome, I never thought I’d be able to do a pull-up, now I can do 5!

No doubt, best gym in town. Very knowledgeable and caring coaching staff that offers a variety of programming to fit the needs of their members. 11/10 would recommend.

After trying several gyms in Bozeman, I feel Altitude Athletics is the best choice for my fitness needs. The coaching and programming are outstanding and all the members are warm and welcoming. Happy to be a part of this gym community!

Extremely knowledgeable and friendly staff. Local ownership that does a great job of giving back to the community!

Just had my first class today. Have never done any cross fit/ endurance classes before. Great facility, and amazing staff. Look forward to more classes.

The more I travel and visit other gyms the more I realize what a great gym this is. Great coaching, great community of people. Top notch.

Best gym in Bozeman! They have great coaching & workouts to really get you in shape. It is a super supportive community, too. I particularly like the ski training courses in the fall!

Great facility with friendly members and staff. I visit Bozeman regularly and always try to drop in at least once while Im in town. As a CFL1 trainer myself Ive been impressed with the level of coaching I see when Ive dropped-in and the programming is easy to follow and/or modify to what I need based on my other training (and the fact that Im not used to working out at 4,500)!

Great CF box. Awesome programming. Would totally recommend dropping in.

I started going to Altitude Athletics when I moved to Bozeman a couple years ago. When I initially dropped in of course the coach chatted with me, but the other members of the gym did, too. That was a great first impression of the gym. I had been to a couple other gyms in the area while looking for my new gym home and the members at those gyms didnt seem interested in even saying hello to a drop in! Anyway, here I am, a little over two years later, its a great community, have made lots of friendships that extend outside the gym, and look forward to going each day I get to go. Oh yeah, Im also a coach there now! =D

Altitude Athletics has become a family and a second home. The coaches there really got me interested in health and fitness, rather than just working out, and their support and guidance led me to become a coach myself. Ive grown as a person as well as an athlete thanks to this gym.

Altitude has become my second home! From the coaches to the athletes, the atmosphere is exactly what you should expect in a CrossFit community; friendly, inviting, and you without a doubt will leave there better than you walked in! Great place to drop-in or make your CrossFit home!

John is a great coach!Visiting and did a drop in class.Great programming and atmosphere.

Exceptional coaching by John and his staff....a place to visit to get a killer workout and hang with some of the most amazing people!!!! who knew working out could be so much fun.

Great coaches, great people, great gym! A high-point of my day.

Incredible place to become the fittest you.

Great coaches, great community, great workout! Best gym in Bozeman!

Awesome people, great programming and even better coaching!

Great people, great workout!
