I love it here. The atmosphere is fun but intense, the coaches teach you as much as they push you, and when you feel like you’re dying, you’re still having fun. I never leave this place without a smile and feeling accomplished, ready to take on whatever comes at me. Thanks Easton!

Went here for muay thai. Apparently this place is great if you're a beginner and want to train kickboxing and work your way up.Upon signing up I was told that I would be able to 'test' into a placement that would allow me to train muay thai (the reason I went to the gym.) After feeling comfortable and getting back into the flow, I wanted to test but was told that was not an option and that I have gone too far into the program and have to continue and cannot 'skip,' ahead. I went there to train muay thai and was held to kickboxing. I am a south paw and do the kickboxing classes orthodox just to get something out of it, not worth $130 when I have a bag at home to work with. And of coarse I am being charged an additional month because of silly gym contracts even though they can't hold themselves up to their own words.As for the classes, you get very little attention as there will be one trainer for 25-40 people in one hour. I have never trained at a place with more than 10 students per trainer, 15 tops. Unfortunately there aren't many options in the area. It is frustrating to be told that it's not my skill set that lacks but that I haven't been consistent enough and put in enough time (money) to do muay thai, especially when you are given higher ranked 'shirts' advice on their technique. I have really wanted to like this place and have given them multiple shots but I'm just another one of their hundreds of customers.2 stars, 1 because some of the trainers are very good at what they do. Another star because some of the other students had made me feel welcome.

I found my people!!Not only is the instruction top notch, but Easton has created an incredible environment for people to pursue and practice their martial arts. Everyone is there to get better and improve their skills, and to help one another do the same.

I enjoyed my one month trial at Easton. I didn't renew my membership mainly because their class schedule didn't line up with my work schedule. I also didn't feel like there was enough space for live grappling, which is what I was interested in doing. I have 15+ years of wrestling experience, and have been coaching HS wrestling for over 5 years.They made the cancellation process very difficult. I had to call to cancel, fill out a form online (that was designed to confuse you into accidentally renewing your membership), and then send two follow-up e-mails. After my last e-mail they were still referring to my notice of cancellation as a "request" and my deposit for the second month had not yet been refunded.In addition to this cancellation friction, they kept asking for "feedback" on why I didn't renew my membership. Upon receiving this feedback, they forwarded it around the office to unrelated parties, made some nasty comments, and then forwarded those e-mails to me. You can see one of the workers calling me a "Pretentious Git" in the attached photo.I don't appreciate maximizing cancellation friction as a business model. And I don't appreciate personal attacks simply because I canceled my trial membership and responded to a request for comment.I assume this is how they treat most people who cancel their memberships, and that's a poor way to run a business.

Joined the team last year. Coaches and staff members are outstanding. Easton helped me regain my fighting and fitness motivation. Would 100% recommend to anyone looking to improve fighting technique, mental and body health.Always felt at home in the gym. Muchas gracias Easton!!

Been going here for almost a year now and it has been the best decision I have ever made. The staff and people are incredible, I never feel anything but welcome. Whether you're looking to get in better shape or learn how to actually fight, the Easton is the answer!Update: still going, still loving every minute of it. Would give 10 out of 5 stars if I could!

Easton is great! The instructors are incredible and patient, both on the kickboxing/muay thai and jiu jitsu sides. It's humbling to step into a class with people much better than you, but it helps you grow!Huge shout out to Paige - who I've done a few private jiu jitsu sessions with - who is a wonderful coach. Paige, Naomi, and all the other staff and students have made a point to make me feel welcome -- as a beginner and a woman.

Everyone at Easton makes you feel like family and motivated to work your hardest. From the front desk to the very high level black belts - everyone is down to earth and eager to help. This warm environment has lead us to choosing Boulder as our next place to live and train. Thank you to all of you that are part of Easton and work hard to protect this environment.

I'm admittedly biased, but being part of the Easton Training Center community since 2014 has been such a transformative experience for me. I went from zero martial arts knowledge and almost never working out to being a fit Muay Thai junkie. The friends I've made through Easton are some of the truest I've ever had. The challenges of training have helped me to grow up, and to grow stronger in both mind and body. I'd recommend this to anyone who is looking for a cooler workout, a safer walk home, a boost to be better, and a tribe who will welcome you.

I have been doing kickboxing now for few years at different places in Colorado and East coast. When I moved to Boulder, I found this place and was impressed with the trainers and front desk manners. Trainers will make sure that you are focusing on stance and correct posture for throwing punches and kicks. As I said , I have been doing it for years , but there were few things I was not doing right and trainers fixed it for me. That is very motivating to see trainers / coaches like that around you. Also, I trained with different trainers and each one of them was focused on correcting techniques. I am glad I signed up for an annual membership.
