Kutthaus Fitness

Kutthaus Fitness is a functional fitness gym in Grand Junction built around everyday movement, including bending, lifting and twisting without strain, along with strength work and mat Pilates. The owners are physical therapists who have worked with people recovering from joint replacements, spinal cord injuries, strokes and brain injuries, and the training reflects that background. Sessions focus on how well you move rather than how much you lift.

Group classes, one-on-one personal training and post-rehab movement sessions are all offered, and the first week is free for newcomers. Free community classes, such as a Friday circuit class and a Thursday morning mat Pilates class, are open to anyone without a membership, though it's worth calling or texting to confirm before coming. The atmosphere is quiet and low-ego, and the owners' dogs are sometimes on site.
