We all have our why.

Denver Highlands Personal Training can help make this the year you find and achieve yours.

  • Strength training is at the heart of our program. Sarcopenia is the degradation of muscle mass which naturally occurs as we age; osteoporosis affects our bones. There is something we can do about that! Lift, carry, push, pull and train hard! Strong muscles and bones are the foundation on which our lives are built. Learn effective, functional movement to keep you living your best, healthiest life.

  • Building upon our strength, mobility and stability is the continuum upon which we maintain our gait and balance. Engage in exercises to maintain or improve gait function for fall prevention. Let’s stay dynamic and active throughout our lives.

  • It is my intention to assist clients in becoming a well-rounded and functionally fit individual capable of performing activities of daily living and any fitness goals they may have. I offer one-on-one personal training in primal movement and functional weight training with an emphasis on form, technique, and joint and injury prevention. Sessions are tailored to your “why.” Let’s get you there.

  • “I could not have hoped to find a better guide on this interesting and challenging journey than the legendary One Tough Cookie who is Barb Granica."

    After completing my training yesterday I am feeling bloody fantastic. The twinges in my lower back are gone; much of the tension in my upper back and shoulder from being hunched over the computer all day has been replaced with a lovely feeling of muscle soreness from use rather than neglect; and I feel stronger and calmer. Having some Tai Chi and Qigong incorporated into the training has been such a great thing for my stress levels. I am working with a trainer who I respect, trust and like; it doesn’t get much better than that. I can’t wait to see how much more I can improve. - Andi L
