We had the good fortune of connecting with Madonna Collingwood and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi MaDonna, what is the most important factor behind your success?
As an educator and coach I don’t just teach, I help you get your foot in the door. You can start your journey to becoming a pro with my programs with no previous knowledge or skill.

The most important factor behind my success has been putting my students and clients first and prioritizing their needs and schedules.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
I am a Denver-based health science expert and fitness coach.
I’m passionate about empowering women and youth through evidence-based health science. As a college professor, I teach well-building classes by IWBI. But my impact doesn’t stop there – I also run youth after-school sports conditioning and women’s-only fitness classes.

My approach is a perfect blend of nutrition, organization, strength, endurance, and mobility training.
My business is about embracing the beauty of our lives and the strength within ourselves. I train incredible women who pushed their limits in our training sessions. I also specialize in early learning and youth sports conditioning. My young athletes are full of energy and determination.

Whether I am empowering women through personal training or watching young athletes find their spark in cheer, dance, and tumbling, every moment reinforces why I love what I do.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Ten years ago, I drove through the Colorado mountains for the first time, filled with hope and a hint of uncertainty.
The journey to finding my place here wasn’t easy—adjusting to the cost of living and carving out a career path takes time and resilience.

If you’re new to Colorado, I’m here to share my insights and experiences!

Whether it’s health and wellness, interior design, construction, or sports coaching, I will help you build and create a plan for your life here in Colorado.

One hidden gem that I’ve discovered in my neighborhood is EMS personal training at Body20 Gym in Cherry Creek, Denver. For athletes looking to avoid plateaus and get an extra edge, EMS training is a game-changer. By bypassing the brain’s limitations, EMS allows muscles to achieve deeper contractions than are possible through voluntary effort alone. This enhanced activation leads to greater strength gains in a fraction of the time as traditional workouts.

As someone who has integrated EMS training into my personal regimen, I can attest that it has been a secret weapon helping me get stronger every week while maintaining a lean, sculpted physique year-round. The efficiency of the workouts also frees up more time to spend on other aspects of a balanced lifestyle. If you’re looking for a way to kick your fitness into high gear, I highly recommend signing up for a free demo session at Body20 in Cherry Creek.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
A heartfelt shoutout goes to my incredible clients who have been the true heroes of their own fitness and health journeys. Every day, I’m inspired by their unwavering commitment, resilience, and trust. These individuals walk into the gym with determination, pushing through challenges and believing in themselves, even when the path seems difficult. They’ve taught me that transformation isn’t just about physical strength, but about mental fortitude and personal growth.
To the hardworking individuals who show up consistently, who trust me to guide them through their nutritional and fitness goals, you are the real champions. Your dedication motivates me to be a better trainer, to continually learn, and to support you in becoming the strongest versions of yourselves. Each of you brings a unique story, a personal battle, and an incredible spirit that makes what I do so much more than just a job – it’s a calling.
Your progress, your breakthroughs, and your commitment remind me why I love what I do. This shoutout is to you – the clients who transform not just their bodies, but their entire approach to health and wellness.
