Undoubtedly the best BJJ and CrossFit gym in the greater Lakewood area if not all of Colorado! Coach Charlie Minkin and her husband Coach Ben Lowry started this gym in 2012 and never looked back. They poured their heart and soul into their passion of Martial Arts and their hard work shows for it. They train mostly all age groups in BJJ and CrossFit! This gym treats you respect and ultimate level of professionalism. Willing to work with you and push you to levels you thought were unobtainable. Charlie Minkin has an extensive history in Martial Arts and training CrossFit. In 2004 Charlie was on the US Olympic team for Judo and shared the stage with Ronda Rousey! So if you are looking for tested leadership this is the spot. My wife has been going to CrossFit here for years and she has a blast! She loves her peers and loves her coaches. We are proud to call The Sanctuary home. Our daughter will be joining the BJJ side soon and we can’t wait!
Posted 6 months agoMy husband, myself and our children have been training CrossFit and BJJ at the sanctuary for a few years now. Ben and Charlie are not only amazing trainers but have become like family to us. The program for the children has boosted their confidence and strength immensely! I can personally say I have not been in this great of shape ever! If you are searching for extremely talented coaches who hold you accountable and a gym with a strong sense of family this is your place!
Posted 10 months agoMy son and I started here in February and going to classes quickly became a highlight of our week. Ben and Charlee are incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and dedicated to helping every student improve, whether you're a complete beginner or more experienced. The atmosphere is welcoming and supportive. Everyone is friendly and encouraging. Highly recommend!
Posted 9 months agoI have been training at the sanctuary for over a year now, and I wouldn’t go anywhere else. The coaches, Ben Lowry and Charlee Minkin are top tier and provide exceptional instruction. The gym culture is welcoming and competitive. If you want to compete or are only looking to improve your Jiu Jitsu, judo or conditioning this is the place for you.
