Easton Training Center - Boulder

I had a great training experience at ETC. I was in town for 1 week from Canada, and have nothing but good things to say about my time at Easton. The Facility is very clean, the staff/coaches/members were all very friendly, and the skill level is great. This is an awesome place to train whether you're looking to get in shape or train to be a competitor. Will definitely be back!

Easton has turned my life around and I'd like to share my story in hopes of maybe making a difference in someone else's life. Maybe you don't think martial arts is your thing. Maybe you are too scared. Maybe you don't like being so close to such strong and seemingly intimidating people. This is how I felt when I began my jiu jitsu journey with the Easton family...Warning, the story I am about to reveal to you is a very personal, but I truly believe my story could have the potential to help others. I am truly grateful for the Easton family and I believe that it is worth all of the sweat, blood, and tears. There are some trigger warnings with my story, so please read on at your own discretion.When I was a child I was abused and had no way to defend myself. When I was in college, again I was abused and assaulted on multiple occasions. The police did nothing. I was told to keep quiet. I was crushed and felt abandoned. To top it off, to this day I am being stalked by an anti-social psychopath who refuses to respect a protection order I have against him. Throughout all of the abuse I went through, I had no way to defend myself and my self esteem was so small you had to search for it through a high-powered microscope. I was severely depressed and was plagued by anxiety. I was extremely overweight and felt like I had nowhere to go and no confidence to stick up for myself and be who I truly wanted to be. Here is where my life turned around for the better because of my Easton family!Easton helped me build my confidence, my self esteem, and my inner strength. Jiu Jitsu is a close-contact martial art. Believe me, I had to face my inner daemons to overcome some serious flashbacks I encountered when training jiu jitsu. The close proximity to big burly men made my mind go to dark places and my body froze. To be honest, I thought about quitting many times because of the pain I forced myself to endure with these flashbacks. I can tell you, it was worth all of the effort in the end!My Easton family supported me and encouraged me to keep on trying, to keep on pushing myself through uncomfortable situations. My teammates, coaches, and professors were there every step of the way. I have been training jiu jitsu for almost three years now and I no longer have those horrible flashbacks. My depression is starting to subside and my anxiety is slowly simmering down to nothing. Because of all of the support and encouragement my Easton family gave me, I have the confidence to stick up for myself. My coaches and professors encouraged me and supported me in ways they can't even imagine. Not only have I been able to overcome my fears, flashbacks, and depression through training jiu jitsu, I am now in love with the sport. I lost over 40 lbs and have become strong and more confident then ever!Jiu jistu is my life. My Easton family taught me that I can deal with any setback life might present. My Easton family has taught me to endure and to be strong.Teammates, coaches, and professors, I would like to extend a heartfelt thank you for turning my life around. You didn't know my story at the time, but now you do. If anyone you know has suffered through what I have suffered, please encourage them and support them like you have done with me. You might not know the background story of the students and Easton, but I can sure tell you your teaching, your support, and your encouragement every step of the way has been extraordinary.Thank you Easton family for turning my life around!

I was in Boulder for two weeks and Easton was nice enough to let me train there. The instructors were very knowledgeable and had a lot of patience with me at all times. If you're thinking of training in BJJ in Boulder, Easton should be your first pick.

The kickboxing/Muay Thai program at Easton is hands down the best/most fun way to get your butt kicked with a community of amazing people! Best trainers, staff and members. The trainers are really helpful and make everyone feel welcome. Feel really grateful to have found such an amazing, welcoming community that feels like a second home!

I had to come on here and speak my mind about this place.Their level of customer service should be a model. Missed a week or two training? Coach is blowing up your inbox. Trying to suspend your membership because you fell on hard times financially? No worries lets make a deal and keep you on the mats.I have trained at two other gyms in town, one a belt factory and the other a professional MMA gym. This one is the best. Very reasonable membership rates. At the other gym I had to pay based on how many times a week I trained! Their 3 classes per week was more expensive than Eastons' unlimited classes. Almost $200/month! Great facilities, awesome coaches. For sure get in here.

We have been a part of Easton for the past year and eight months. We have been in the kickboxing program and two of the kids programs. The teachers here are great. They take the time to learn how to teach each student best and work individually with all students throughout the class. The kid's teachers are especially involved, asking the kids how they are doing and what they are interested in before class, then really getting each kid involved during class. Our son has been in the Little Tigers class for 8 months and we could not be happier with the skills he has learned and the activities that we have been able to add in to our daily lives.

This is the best kickboxing gym I've ever been to! The staff seriously knows what they are doing and participate in their own fights rather than just being fitness instructors. They take the time to teach technique to everyone. I already belong to a gym but still pay to go here each month because it's so worth it. It's a solid work out and therapy all in 1 at the end of a long day at work. First, class is free so it's always easy to bring friends to try it out.

The boulder team is amazing. I love BJJ but i also love how much they care about you and seeing you reach your goals. While i am no longer a member due to personal reasons I would return in a heart beat if i could make it work. I also know they went above and beyond to try to make it work for me. THANK YOU!

Great teachers! Coach Stolpe will put a smile on your face and raise your spirits. You simply can't be unhappy with this guy around. Truly all the coaches are great with my son. They have multiple coaches per class for the kids so the kids get plenty of one on one time. I can work out while my boy is in class which is great, and everyone is very positive and supportive as I struggle to get back in shape. Highly recommended positive place for you and your kids.

Where to begin? Firstly just our family experience of training brazilian jiu jitsu has been truly inspiring and magnificent for both myself and my 9 year old son in so many unexpected ways. Second, training at Easton BJJ has been an outstanding experience. Everyone has been incredibly friendly including the staff. And ALL the instructors have done a spectacular job teaching and keeping the classes engaging and interesting. I really can't thank them and recommend them enough for their attention to detail and competence. And special thanks to manager Mike Tousignant for making it such a great experience. There isn't a better Brazilian Jiu Jitsu experience to be had in Boulder.
