Tonya Carter loves living in Colorado. In fact, she loves it so much that she was inspired to write her own version of the "Twelve Days of Christmas" -- celebrating all the "amazing outside activities," she says. In fact, Colorado has so many amazing activities that "the song was not long enough to include them all."

Here, for your holiday enjoyment, is Tonya Carter's "Twelve Days of Fitness."

TITLE Boxing Club is coming to Colorado.
Countless workouts and diets promise results -- and generally, the success of any regimen is up to you. But the town's first TITLE Boxing Club, which opens in Greenwood Village this week, promises to help you break out of the box -- with boxing. There are 47 other TITLE clubs across the country; the owner of this one, Shawn Kirkpatrick, hopes to open four to six more clubs in the Denver area in the next few years. But first, he's kicking off this club with free classes Thursday, August 9 through Sunday, August 12; he's also waiving the $99 membership enrollment fee for the first 100 members who join.

In advance of Colorado's first TITLE Boxing Club opening this Thursday, Westword spoke with Kirkpatrick about this new fitness craze punching its way into Denver.

More Once Upon a Race photos.
Denverites really have no problem with getting up early on a weekend, donning a ridiculous costume and drinking -- all for a good cause (remember Cupid's Undie Run?)

It happened again over the weekend. Photos below.

A runner and zombie volunteer post-race in Atlanta.
Luckily, they aren't the running zombies.

The "Run for your Lives" zombie 5K obstacle course is coming to Colorado this summer, where fitness freaks bored by the running routine will have to dodge "zombies" -- volunteers complete with fake blood and lumbering steps -- as part of the race.

It's like The Walking Dead, but at a faster pace (although that's not hard to do.)

Bizzie Gold gets down to fitness bizness.
What do you get when you combine yoga, dance, plyometrics and athletic conditioning? One word: BUTI. Former fitness competitor and competitive skier Bizzie Gold created BUTI (yes, it's pronounced 'booty') after years of training and athletic conditioning inspired her to fuse multiple workout styles into one 90-minute routine. Gold brings the no-equipment-necessary hybrid fitness program to Denver February 18 through 20 in the form of a BUTI teacher-training course at Breathe Yoga & Cycling Studio first, with the local gym offering classes beginning in March.

So, what in the hell is BUTI, anyway?
