New Sensory Gym Coming to Northern Colorado

Data show that 1 in 31 to 1 in 54 children in Colorado are identified with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD;) finding a safe, nurturing, and fun place for autistic children to go and play can be tough on parents. Northern Colorado will soon have such a place: a sensory gym.

What is the Sensory Gym Coming to Northern Colorado?

In early 2026, a couple from Northern Colorado acquired a franchise with We Rock the Spectrum Kids Gyms. As of the summer of 2026, there are over 200 We Rock the Gym locations in 35 states, with two already open in Colorado: Colorado Springs and Broomfield. The chain began in 2010 after the mother of a child with autism found out the gym she was using for private one-on-one sessions with an occupational therapist was shutting down.
