It’s 2026, and many people in Denver try to spend their money at small independent businesses owned by persons of color. There has been a growing movement nationwide to support BIPOC-owned businesses, but that really came into focus during the George Floyd protests. People seek out lists of small independent businesses owned by Black and Latinx people to signal their commitment to social justice and equity, and as a nod to the inequities and injustices of the past. If you’re in the market for a new fitness studio in downtown Denver, you may be wondering:

Which downtown Denver gyms are BIPOC-owned?

Let us tell you about one BIPOC-owned fitness studio in Denver: Worth The Fight Boxing & Fitness Studio in CapHill in downtown Denver. Worth The Fight Boxing is downtown Denver’s premier boxing fitness studio, offering boxing fitness (no sparring – everyone on their own punching bag), kickboxing, strength training, HIIT, and yoga with a focus on fun and empowerment. Worth The Fight Boxing is owned by Hispanic woman, Gladys Santiago. Santiago lost 120 pounds through boxing, and she fell in love with it. Boxing transformed her physically, psychologically, and spiritually.

“I was inspired to open Worth The Fight to help people in Denver experience the transformation I experienced through boxing!”

-Gladys Santiago

Worth The Fight Boxing: A Denver fitness studio that is BIPOC-owned, LGBTQ-owned & female-owned

Yep, we check em all! At Worth The Fight Boxing, we believe that everyone should have a place to work out where they feel comfortable, no matter their race, gender, or sexuality. We’ve all been to gyms where it was uncomfortable to exercise. This is especially critical when you have fitness classes where your members all work out together. We train our coaches to be sensitive and welcoming to everyone, and we strive to have a diverse community of members. We also host events regularly to allow and encourage our members getting to know each other.

Also, Worth The Fight Boxing Denver is one of the only – if not the only – BIPOC-owned, LGBTQ-owned, and female-owned, fitness studios in Denver. (Learn more: Check out this accepting LGBTQ-friendly fitness studio in Denver) Ownership of a business matters. If the owners of a business are BIPOC (or women or gay, etc), they can empathize with their struggles, and that will shapes how they approach their business. That is true for us. That is also why we regularly post about and promote our diverse members and why we are out there working on social justice issues. We also have built our entire gym around making sure everyone feels welcome and accepted. It’s mission critical for us. (Learn more: Best Queer Gym in Denver)

At Worth The Fight Boxing, we believe that businesses should give back to their local communities that make their business possible. Worth The Fight gives back to downtown Denver in several ways. We teach boxing to kids from Denver Public Schools. We donate to local nonprofits. We also hold free fitness events for the local community, and we partner with local Denver non-profits that focus on social justice to raise money and host community events for downtown Denver.
