Juste is an excellent trainer. He brings great energy to every session and does an awesome job tailoring workouts to your specific goals. He’s motivating, knowledgeable, and makes training a lot of fun. Highly recommend!

Michael Turner member

My son has been a Colorado Elite athlete/runner for the past two years. Shaw is an amazing coach and has helped my son hit numerous personal records in sprints, hurdles, throws and jumps. They also have other great coaches who specialize in the individual events so the coaching is very specific for each athlete.

Zona Welling member

I’ve been with Colorado Elite for around two years now, and I’ve loved every minute of it. The coaches are incredible and respectful to all athletes. I’ve been able to pull some massive PRs (personal records) as a result of the training and would recommend this club to anyone interested in running track.

Heather Bauer member

LOVE this team! My daughter had been running with CO Elite from 8th - 10th grade (and will continue through 12th). She always feels welcome and gets SO MUCH out of her experience with this group of coaches! Highly recommend!!

Conor Gibson member
