Top of the Town 2012

Tim Tebow once engineered spectacular fourth-quarter comebacks for the Broncos, and Centennial’s star swimmer Missy Franklin has her eyes set on the Olympic podium. What do these superstars have in common? The man who drills, pushes, and whips them into shape. Loren Landow is a personal trainer based out of the Steadman Hawkins Clinic Denver who works with every type of athlete, from footballers and swimmers to gymnasts and mixed martial arts masters. And, whether you’re an elite athlete or just a weekend warrior, Landow will work with you, too. Landow’s philosophy that training is about the “efficiency of human movement, no matter the sport” translates to techniques that can help turn your casual enjoyment of running into a solid marathon time. A private hour-long session with Landow will pinch your wallet for $125, but know this: His belief in his clients, he says, is far stronger than their doubt in themselves. 8200 E.
