Committing to a gym membership can be hard, especially when it comes with a hefty price tag and unfamiliar equipment or workouts. FIT36 is here to help, with a free-week trial program that lets you get in and get comfortable with classes and equipment before signing on the dotted line. FIT36's signature workouts take 36 minutes at most, and all are based on high-intensity interval training (HIIT).

The flagship location is downtown, and there are outlets all around the Denver metro area, so get moving: This introductory gym package offers big bang for your buck (or lack thereof).

Ticket prices at Coors Field remain ultra-reasonable. For most games, Rockpile seats still go for the ridiculously low rate of $4, and you can reserve a spot in lots of other sections with better-than-expected views for $20 or less. Problem is, the team hasn't always been worth watching, which may explain why so many people have grown accustomed to visiting the Rooftop and drinking themselves blotto without glancing at the diamond. Fortunately, this year should be different. The Rockies made the playoffs last season, and thanks to burgeoning talents such as Nolan Arenado, Charlie Blackmon, Trevor Story, DJ LeMahieu and more, they've got a damned good chance to contend again — and give you a reason to put down that beer every once in a while.

Hockey tickets at the University of Denver begin at $18, and great seats can be had for $40 or less, giving fans the opportunity to get up-close-and-personal views of a squad whose players regularly graduate to the National Hockey League. Glenn Anderson, a member of the Hockey Fall of Fame, and Kevin Dineen, who notched nineteen years in the bigs before entering the coaching ranks (he's currently an assistant with the Chicago Blackhawks), are just two DU alums to have had memorable professional careers, while current NHL-ers include former Colorado Av Paul Stastny, currently with the Winnipeg Jets. Who'll be next? Drop by Magness Arena and find out.

Ever since Sports Authority went belly-up, the Denver Broncos have been shopping for a new corporate sponsor willing to pay around $10 million per year to have its name and logo on the side of the stadium — and the team maintains that this money is important, as it helps keep ticket prices down. But if that's the case with one company, wouldn't the situation be even better with two...or four...or ten? Hell, if all of these businesses with Colorado ties signed up, the entrance fee would probably be around $1.50. Then maybe we could afford to go to the games, too.

Readers' Choice: Mile High Stadium

Sons of Mile High was started by a pair of Broncos-loving pals, but don't worry if you bleed colors other than orange and blue. In an example of open-mindedness that's becoming all too rare in spectator sports these days, the Sons welcome all fans, regardless of their team of preference, and the focus stays fixed on fun and camaraderie, with plenty of suds and grub thrown in for good measure. The group typically arrives at Mile High Stadium five hours before kickoff, with beverages starting to flow within a half-hour, and the gathering spot is usually Lot M (though construction this past season forced a temporary relocation to Lot N). Check the excellent SOMH website for the wheres and whens each week. The Sons tailgate away games, too.

Very few national basketball gurus pay attention to the Nuggets, and that makes sense on some level. After all, the team lacks superstars and plays in the NBA's killer Western Conference, where even making the playoffs, let alone advancing, is incredibly difficult — and that's not to mention our presence in the frequently forgotten Mountain Time Zone. But quietly, the Nugs have assembled a young, vibrant roster whose members have huge upsides. Nikola Jokic is deservedly the center of attention, but guards Gary Harris and Jamal "The Blue Arrow" Murray are maturing rapidly, and Trey Lyles has come out of nowhere (actually, Saskatchewan, Canada) to demand more minutes. If ownership can keep this crew together for a few more years, there's no telling how high they might climb.

The amount of podcast content regularly churned out by BSN Denver is downright astonishing. The network has all of Denver's major sports teams covered, and covered well, with regular podcasts about the Broncos, Nuggets, Rockies and Avalanche popping up, whether it's in season or out. Moreover, commentators such as Broncos expert Ryan Koenigsberg, a Colorado native who co-founded BSN Denver, dig deep, with recent topics including the draft-centric program "Is It Crazy to Take a Guard at No. 5?" No need to choose between quality and quantity: BSN Denver provides both.

Don't tell management, but the folks behind the Colorado Rockies Twitter account are weird. Take, for instance, the day last season when every tweet was a quote from a Rocky movie: "Yo, Adrian! It's me, Rocky!"; "I am not the richest, smartest or most talented person in the world, but I succeed because I keep going and going and going"; "He's just a man, Rock, so be more man than him! Go get him. Eye of the Tiger!" and more. More recently, during spring training, the tweeters marked Photo Day by creating multiple slideshows filled exclusively with images from disposable cameras. Such messaging is consistently entertaining and frequently left of center. Hope the boss doesn't find out.
