Easton Training Center - Boulder

Walk in the door... I’d encourage you to do that. Just give it a shot. I think you’ll likely be back! The staff at Easton greet you with respect, they know your name, they’re excited you’re there. It doesn’t take long to be apart of the Easton team. Show up and try. Maybe even clean up after yourself... my kid and I both clean mats. It’s our way of showing (Marine Corps) our rank and our respect for our for opportunity. Best thing that’s happened to us. We train at Easton. We’re pretty proud of that!

I have to be honest. I'm a 53 year old man who found BJJ through watching MMA fights. I watched a fight last year and they mentioned the fighter (name escapes me) was trained at the Easton center run by Amal Easton. I Googled it, found the one in Boulder, and decided to give it a try.It took me some time to muster up the fortitude to walk into the place. Honestly, my impression was that they'd see this middle-aged man walking in and not give me the time of day. After all, isn't Jiu Jitsu a young man's sport? Still, I submitted an only request for an intro class as immediately got a reply. The date and time was set.I could not have been more wrong. The front desk folks, old enough to be my kids, were extremely friendly and accommodating. The coach assigned to the intro glass was patient and explained things well. Though we were using grappling dummies, I left there hooked on learning the art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.Since then I have to say the community of Easton is one of the best I've experienced. Everyone is helpful, patient, and the instructors are top notch. The entire Easton community, from the top on down, cares about your safety, your journey, and your health. I've never seen anything quite like it (and I've boxed, played multiple sports, and kept active most of my life. It's truly an amazing thing they have going on there. Even through COVID, their attention to detail and concern for the safety of their community is beyond any expectations.I highly recommend Easton for any age level and for any of the programs they offer. You may find out BJJ, or Muay Thai, or kickboxing are not for you, but I can honestly say that your journey in those areas will not end because of Easton. If you love the sport, you will find a home here, and learn more about yourself than you ever thought possible.

Highly skilled instructors and professors that teach both bjj and Muay Thai. Easton has always been a place my husband and I always feel welcomed back to. Extremely friendly and organized, Easton goes above and beyond to make your experience everyday feel special.

To be honest, martial arts was never something I thought I would find myself immersed in. I was only interested in kickboxing for cardio, and never saw myself taking it any further. However, I decided to jump into Muay Thai, and it may be one of the best decisions I've ever made.The culture here is not only one of discipline & serious training, but one of warmth and a strong sense of community. The coaches and students push each other to do better, and go out of their way to bring newer, less-experienced students into the fold. If you're reading this even thinking about trying it out, just go. You won't regret it.

I've been drawn to martial arts ever since I was a little boy, so kickboxing at Easton Training Center has been incredibly fun! Every class is a challenge; there's tons of running, lots of burpees, stretching, and shadow boxing before the training even begins! The hands-on training from the amazing staff of coaches showed me that they care about my training and want to see me improve just as much as I do. They are professional, patient, and accommodating to everyone who steps into the gym.Don't think you have to be a fighter to enjoy class either! People from all walks of life come to this place, ranging from students to mothers, and even other disabled veterans like myself!Since beginning my training, my physical health have greatly improved. I noticed my muscles are more toned, my stamina during vigorous activities is WAY up, and, for the first time in my life (near the age of 30) I have ABS! What's been more beneficial is the effect it has had on my mental health. I used to be more fearful and anxious, but the training has helped me overcome a lot of fear and given me a sense of control back in my life. If you are consistent, you will see your skill in kickboxing (or BJJ or Muai Thai) improve, showing you that something you are doing WORKS.If you do read this and decide you want to give it a try, here are two tips I consider to be golden for this class:If you are a beginner, and even if you've been training for a while, be sure to TAKE IT SLOW. It's tempting to put a lot of power into punches and kicks right away, but good form trumps power. I hurt my shoulder throwing a bad hook because I was throwing too hard without proper form. Trust me; it'll save you a lot of recovery time if you just focus on form.Also, there's not always a lot of time at the end of class to fully cool down and stretch, but you should always take some time to stretch afterwards. You can stretch on the mats if there is no class coming in, but you can stretch anywhere in the building and no one would care. Stretch!Overall, I really love Easton Training Center and plan to keep going. It's a lot of fun, the training is effective for all learner levels, the exercise is AWESOME and it's a community of people who just love martial arts and building each other up! Five stars are well deserved!

This facility is fresh, hard working, and gentle for starters. Ive had about 3 months off the mat., and stepping right into BJJ class felt like i never left. I look forward to spending a lot more time at Easton Boulder and upping my MT game.

I recommend your gym to everyone! I’ve been training here off and on for years and had nothing but excellent experiences. High level instructors, friendly staff, and great facilities. I recently got my wife to sign up. She just took her first BJJ class today and loved it!! 👍 …

This is one of the most, if not the most, legit gyms you can go to. There are various professional fighters that come here to train and your average parents or college students who want to get fit while learning martial arts. This speaks volumes to the quality of instruction and to the community here at Easton-Boulder. On top of all that, the free class trial, the $99 trial month, and the reasonable price for Muay Thai classes and BJJ classes is amazing. You are getting world-class instruction for less than $200 for either martial art. If you are hesitating coming in, take a leap of faith and sign up for a free class, you won't regret it.

I came in to Easton my second day in Colorado and have been going at least twice a day since then. They hooked me in and now I’m not sure I could leave even if I wanted to. Not only are Muay Thai/Jiu-Jitsu fun, character building, and a great way to stay in shape, the coaches and staff are the best! These are people who genuinely care about the craft and want to see you improve both as a martial artist, and a person, every time you come into the gym. Wether you just want to break a sweat before work, or be a professional fighter, Easton’s the place to be:)

Loved my time at Easton. Great professors and coaches. I came in as an out of town visitor and the people at Easton welcomed me with open arms. Atmosphere was great. Good pace to learn while also getting a good workout.
