Train Fight Win is the best gym Ive ever attended. I initially came here for their weight lifting class but soon after tried kickboxing, grappling and some of the other courses they offer. They were all great experiences and I am so glad that I found this place as it really improved my fitness and well-being. Coaches LA, Mike, and Parker were all awesome---they were supportive, friendly, and fun, helping me achieve my fitness goals in a healthy way. They are also just cool and interesting people who I really enjoyed being around. Unfortunately I moved out of Denver but my time at TFW was special and I would highly recommend trying this gym. The people and coaches there have formed a great little community. Ive been gone for 3 months and I miss it already!

Love this place! Great instructors, great people. Unlike any other gym Ive ever been to. Instructors take the time to make sure you are grasping the concept they are teaching.

Train fight win is absolutely the most welcoming and challenging MMA gym in Denver. The coaches here will push you to achieve what you can and guide you along the way. The amount of expertise each coach has in every discipline is un-matched. Only rivaled by their ability to concisely and effectively relay the expertise to their students. I would reccomend this gym to anyone. New, experienced, old, young you will find what youre looking for at Train.Fight.Win.

I can not say enough good things about this gym! My husband and I came in with no fighting experience at all and we were still welcomed into the family immediately. All the coaches are very skilled teachers that work hard to create a safe, fun and challenging environment for everyone. My husband and I are fully addicted now and we are both in the best shape of our lives! 10/10 would recommend!

I have been training here for about a year and a half, joining this gym was one of the best decisions I have ever made! The coaches are kind and welcoming to all, regardless of your experience level. The workouts here are like none other so be prepared to sweat and get into the best shape of your life ! They also offer online training so you can get your sweat on from home as well!

I have been training here for a year and half. Its a supportive atmosphere full of great people, fun music, and a variety of classes--I cannot recommend this gym enough. They currently have online classes for people trying to stay home due to the pandemic.

TFW is more then just a gym, it’s an amazing community as well. Not only will you receive top of the line training and teaching, but you’ll be a part of a diverse community of supportive, hard working people.

I began training at TFW about three years ago, I came in with a little kickboxing experience and had never weightlifted. The coaches here are extremely supportive and excited for people to learn new things. They were able to safely open during the pandemic and encouraged me to begin trying new classes, after a couple of years of sticking to conditioning/kickboxing. Fast forward 6 months and I now grapple and weightlift multiple times a week and love them both. The owners, Coach Mike and Coach LA cultivate an environment of inclusivity, community, and learning. I cannot recommend this gym enough to people of all skill and fitness levels.

Train.Fight.Win is an outstanding gym to train at! I have tried numerous gyms all over the country and have yet to find such an educational, hands on, and welcoming environment. The coaches have a wealth of knowledge that truly comes through in their classes. I had never put on a pair of boxing gloves, but felt right at home and reassured the first day I started. Everyone is always welcome and always included. I give this gym 50000 stars!

HIGHLY recommend Train. Fight. Win. to anyone! Not only are the coaches highly skilled and passionate about what they do but they are also passionate about the people who walk into their facility. You will not find a better duo out there than coach Mike and coach L.A.! I am consistently challenged and encouraged every time I go in there and its what keeps me coming back. Seriously folks, come check it out.

Best.Gym.Ever. Ive been training, fighting, and winning since 2017 and it was the best choice I ever made - and 60% of the time I make the right choice every time. The best part of any gym is the experience and this place has a top notch experience. The classes will train your body and mind. The coaches and your fellow TFWers are friendly, encouraging and supportive. Coach Mike and Coach L.A. created a diverse and inclusive tribe that makes you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. You wont regret the moment you show up for your first class.

I have been going to Train.Fight.Win. for awhile now; the coaches are amazing and knowledgeable. They are passionate about what they do and motivated to help beginners and inspire the advanced.

Ive been going to this gym for almost a year now - couldnt be happier with my experience over the past year. Theres an ocean of knowledge in the various disciplines taught here and I feel as though I learn something new every week. Mike and L.A. are great coaches and they have created a culture within the gym that is friendly and accepting regardless of experience, age, background, etc. Between the coaches and other members of this gym, I feel as if I have another family at TFW. Looking forward to another great year!

I dropped in on a class while I was visiting Denver and was not disappointed! LA was so nice and so welcoming! Im used to CrossFit, so this was definitely a new style for me, but she worked with me one on one, and showed me the proper technique. The workout itself was great!!! Challenging, but very fun! Ill definitely be dropping in again the next time Im in town!

If you want to get into GREAT shape, learn something new, meet new people, and make some great connections, you need to join the TFW family. The atmosphere is friendly, the Coaches are always wanting to help you become better whether you are using it to workout, or you want to take it further and compete, and the bond you create with the members and coaches are ones that makes you want to stay. Come in and check it out, you won’t regret it!!!

Review №25

If I went into all of the reasons why Train. Fight. Win. is an incredible gym, this review would be far too long. LA and Mike have worked to cultivate a gym for everyone. Conditioning workouts are built for each individual to work at their own level, fighting based classes have time where you can ask questions and they come check everyones form. It truly is a place for those trying to up their fighting skills or those just wanting to get into fighting shape.The classes offered reflect how everyone is welcome. For example, beginner grappling will have fighters training with you, but they (and the coaches) will move at a pace that allows for everyone to practice and really understand every component of the moves. Being a shorter woman, I was worried about trying out grappling; however, Coach Mike has created a class where all of the women feel comfortable and can train without being overtaken by a larger and/or more experienced opponent.I could go into all of the classes until blue in the face, but I want to drive home the community LA and Mike have created. From my first day with Train. Fight. Win., I felt incredibly welcome. All of the members (fighters and regulars) want to make new people feel included. In short, I absolutely love this gym and am so grateful to be a part this tribe.

I love this place. I started coming here almost a year ago after trying several other boxing/kickboxing/bjj gyms. I was really looking for a place that taught actual sparring with actual people, not just a bag. TFW is such an inclusive and warm community. They are a fully committed gender equity gym and there is truly such a deep respect that we all feel for each other because of that. Come here if you want to get technical skills from the best and learn what fighting is all about.

I cannot recommend this place enough if you have an interest training in any of the programs they offer. All of the coaches were fantastic and want to see their students improve. All of the classes are fantastic, and would highly recommend just getting an unlimited plan for the month so that you can try all of them.I started training Kali here, and quickly moved to training MMA. The coaches are great, the other students are fantastic and friendly, and the skills picked up are incredible.Would highly recommend checking this place out if you have an interest in anything. Its a little less traditional and by the book, but for myself that was much better than being a strict class of basics and skill levels.

I teach group fitness and my favorite is an MMA inspired style workout. It’s always recommended that we take additional training . Coming here I feel I’m getting authentic skills with instructors who really do care about empowering their members. I drop in occasionally when I can because of distance and it’s always so warming. Because of them I chose to find a home closer to this gym just so I can take part more often!

Went to this place for kickboxing class and loved it! I had so much fun learning about kickboxing. LA was very nice and patient to teach me through about kickboxing. They also have 50min-60min conditioning class and it is a lot of fun! I felt super sore the next day! I really recommend people to check this place out! They do offer a week free trial and if you are interested in taking classes you can talk to Mike or LA and they can sign you up for a membership!

This place is incredible. I’ve been going for almost two months, and the work outs are great. I was super nervous my first time going, but everyone makes you feel right at home. The trainers, and especially the owners Mike and LA are the best I’ve worked with. I would highly suggest you try it out if you are looking for a gym for MMA, conditioning, grappling, weight lifting, or whatever.

I came to the gym via my husband and his love of their martial arts classes. I go to the womens weight lifting and conditioning classes. I started the lifting classes because I had a years long history of hip and low back problems after a car accident, despite having gone through many types of physical therapy and exercise. I was very nervous to start lifting, but L.A. makes it so easy to join and learn. The womens group is amazing. We have fun while we work hard, and we love to celebrate each others success. My strength improved tremendously, and my hip and back problems disappeared. It was a huge improvement for my quality of life, and now I love lifting with my friends. The group conditioning classes are tough workouts, but when I do those workouts with the welcoming, awesome people at the gym, I know I can complete the workout. You will have fun while you work! I have needed modifications at various times due to injury (not sustained at the gym) and pregnancy, and with their knowledge, the owners have always kept me moving appropriately. The owners, the facility, the other members...everything about Train Fight Win creates an environment where you can succeed.

My fiance and I have been going to this gym since September and we love it! We both have very different goals when we enter the gym every day - he wants to start his amateur fighting career at the age of 33 and I just want to get in shape, enjoy the community, and learn how to punch people well - and they accommodate both very well. The coaches are attentive, encouraging, and knowledgeable. Were already trying to get some of our friends to join and Id encourage anyone to do so!

Could not love this place more. The culture at this gym is unlike any other I’ve been to. I immediately felt so welcome and have only grown to feel more and more part of a family by being part of this gym. This is an incredibly safe space for women to train, as I also know it to also be a safe for non-cis and non-straight people as well. The classes themselves are legit and challenging yet also approachable. Expectations and boundaries are set clearly for all which makes it a great space in which to grow and develop as an athlete. I recommend TFW with the highest regards.

I started going to Train. Fight. Win. conditioning classes a little over 2 years ago based on the recommendation of a friend. While Ive expanded my regimen to include weightlifting and focus mitts, I am still not an MMA fighter, but I LOVE training with them. They will push you harder and further than you could ever anticipate.Beyond the great workouts, the community that LA and Mike have built up in this environment is amazing. It truly is a cohesive community of support, camaraderie, and inspiration.

I love this place! Every coach makes training enjoyable and they encourage you to go further but not to hurt yourself. Everyone I train with treats the place like a second home and everyone is family. L.A. and Mike have truly made Train. Fight. Win. a welcoming place. I have found my second home here and I love the experience each class brings.

The coaches are extremely instructive and patient, especially for a newcomer to MMA like myself. The other pupils and members are also quite amicable, creating an atmosphere inviting, to not only the gym itself but also the martial art. Though not free of difficulty and limitbreaking, its all the more worthwhile: fun, challenging, rewarding, and memorable at TFW! 💪

My friend raved about this place for a while before I finally tried the free week and I joined right away afterwards.Theyre super welcoming and patient considering I have 0 fight experience or training of any sort.If youre new and on the fence you should at the very least give the free week a try.Lots of people at all different skill levels go here to get into shape so dont feel intimidated if you have no experience because they will help you.There are a wide range of classes to go to for newbies that will get you in great shape.Favorite classes so far are the beginner conditioning, focus mitts, and beginner kick boxing.

Review №43

I was pretty nervous to walk into a new place and start learning from scratch, but I quickly felt welcomed into the awesome community here. LA and Mike bring a lot of heart and a huge wealth of knowledge to their training. It shows in their ability to work with each individual equally, regardless of whether theyre a pro fighter or beginner, and this attitude of respect and acceptance permeates the entire culture of the gym. I leave every night feeling better than I did when I arrived. The more I practice, the more I realize I have to learn, and I love showing up at Train Fight Win knowing that I will get pushed to be my best, while trusting the coaches to know my limits.If you want to be challenged in a fun, dynamic atmosphere, learning from highly skilled teachers, and become a part of the fight family, then this is the place for you.

Review №44

When you think of MMA, I am not what you picture, so to say I was nervous beginning here would be an understatement! After much reviewing and chatting with LA (one of the owners) in person, I signed up for boot camp. I have fallen in love with the trainers, techniques, and people. I feel comfortable walking in, and I feel great when leaving. Their prices are reasonable and they mean it when they say that they are willing to expose everyone to the different techniques; they are open and honest and willing to work with everyone even those who lack a certain level of coordination.

I could not love this gym more. I have been a member for a year and had no prior experience with any form of martial art. I had many fears prior to my first visit, such as whether I would be judged or if I would be met by a bunch of hyper-masculine jerks. This is as far from the case as could possibly be. The coaches are incredibly friendly, encouraging, and approachable, while having an incredibly diverse knowledge of martial arts that makes this gym stand out. The members are all also extremely friendly and encouraging. I have never had a negative experience with anyone at the gym. Bottom line, if you want to try out a fantastic and competitive gym that is inclusive to people of all levels, you will not be disappointed at Train.Fight.Win

Review №48

Train.Fight.Win. is, by far, my favorite place to train. Ive trained at a few great spots in Atlanta and a couple more in Denver.The first time I walked into Train.Fight.Win. I felt at home. Both L.A. and Mike were really open and welcoming, as were all the women I began training with. The facility is small, so you only pay for what you are getting: great training. Additionally, classes are small, so Im able to get a lot of individualized attention. This attention has allowed my form, technique, and strength to rapidly improve.My experience at past gyms has taught me to be a little cautious when striking or grappling with men; there can be a bit of ego brought to the mat. It took me some time before I was ready to take that risk here, but my fears were completely unfounded. Everyone is very respectful. The environment is serious, and at the same time no one takes themselves too seriously. Everyone is here to learn and improve. There is also the optional Fight Camp for those who want to take their training to the next level.On top of the great classes, Ive learned how to manage how and when I eat so I can get the best out of every training session. The overall support and encouragement provided by my trainers and training partners creates a fun family dynamic. I feel so lucky to have found Train.Fight.Win. and grateful to be part of such an amazing community.

This gym is amazing! I was a little skeptical before going because I am very out of shape but after walking in and meeting mike that all changed. He was incredibly welcoming and friendly and it eased my apprehensions. All of the coaching staff are incredibly knowledgeable and friendly especially Mike and L.A, they have helped me a ton in only a few short weeks and have always managed to make getting some exercise feel less like working out and more like having fun. I would highly recommend this gym to everyone, from people looking to learn some technique to people who need to shed a few pounds and have a blast while doing it this is the place for you.

I was brand new in Denver when I found these guys and they were very welcoming, it felt great to get back into martial arts with such a good gym culture. Id done a fair amount of training before but I certainty had a lot of blind spots and they have been great at helping me integrate my style with theirs. Though I think any level of training (or none) could fit in here, as every one has been very accommodating about what I dont know yet, both the instructors and the other students, and even better at whipping me back into shape. Having been training for the past decade Id recommend these guys very highly to any one looking at getting in, or getting back into a training regimen.

After moving to Denver from Houston, I was looking for a new challenge and a community to belong to. Train Fight Win has provided that and so much more. As a former triathlete and tennis player, this was my first introduction into combat sports, and my experience has been wonderful. Whether your goal is to lose weight, fight, or something in between, L.A. and Mike do a fabulous job of teaching and supporting you every step of the way. The womens weightlifting class is the absolute BOMB. Lifting with such strong (in every sense of the word) women, led by L.A., is often the best part of my day. That, and GAINS ;)Ive done things I never imagined possible, and the tight knit community at Train Fight Win has made Denver home. If youre looking for a gym with welcoming and passionate people, look no further!

TFW is an exceptional gym. It has a uniquely warm and welcoming culture that still maintains excellent and demanding instruction so you can learn and grow at your own pace.

I came to Train. Fight. Win. on the recommendation of some good friends. I was very anxious about going in because I have zero martial arts experience and am generally not athletic. However, I found an incredibly welcoming learning environment. The sense of community here is amazing - I feel supported and encouraged to do my best. After six months of training, I feel like a new person. Im in great shape and have learned so much. The coaches here couldnt be nicer. Their skill and knowledge is exceptionally valuable.

The instructors L.A. and Micheal are so nice! I read another review that said L.A. Jennings was mean. Thats just crazy, she was so accommodating to me. I am over weight, never done MMA or anything like this before and was scared to death. They made me feel at ease and very welcome. They showed me what to do and how to modify to my level. I felt like I got a lot of personalized attention. Plus, all of your other clientele were so very nice and helpful too!I wanted to thank L.A. for letting me come in for free to try out the classes.

I have been going to TFW for probably 5 years now and it’s the best gym I’ve been able to find as far as a positive atmosphere, female empowerment and support. The coaches actually care about ur personal growth and they know u by name. I’ve tried other MMA gyms before and they all feel very egocentric, unwelcoming and uncomfortable. TFW welcomes everyone and every skill level, whether u have been learning for years or are just starting a new sport. I was new to CO and knew no one and TFW instantly made me feel like I had friends and family :)

Im extremely happy with my decision to start training here. I had become bored with the standard gym workout, unmotivated, and it was showing. I have no previous martial arts experience, but the coaches and athletes here have shown nothing but patience and a desire to teach. The important thing to me is that Im challenged and feel like I learn something every day I go here. Whether you want to train for an MMA fight, or just want a solid workout after work, you can find it here.

I wasnt sure what to expect walking into an MMA gym, bringing zero experience with me. I was impressed with the welcoming attitude of both the Owners, Mike and L.A. Jennings and with the gyms members. At the same time, as you are ready to push yourself, theyre ready to push you. The workouts, especially the conditioning classes are intense and with a few weeks youll be walking tall out of that place. Awesome environment and attitude.

Review №68

I consider myself very lucky to have found Train. Fight. Win. I walked in with a life time of curiosity towards the martial arts left unexplored due to an intimidation factor that is present when trying to join a culture as intense as fight culture. The owners of Train. Fight. Win., Mike and L.A. Jennings, have managed to create their own culture that defuses any intimidation factor and is welcoming of all skill levels, including total novices. That they have managed to do so while also training fighters for real fights is an impressive accomplishment. I had no intention of sparring when I joined the gym. I had no intention of competing in tournaments when I joined the gym. 13 months in and I am now training for my second grappling tournament and I anticipate doing many more. The physical and mental skills that I have learned at this gym have changed my life for the better and my perception of myself has been elevated thereby.The pedagogical quality of the classes is less important to the culture of Train. Fight. Win. than is the quality of people who are regulars. It feels like a family. It is like being a regular at a bar where every knows you and is happy to see you. I am motivated to attend just to check in with the tribe as much as I am to practice a set of skills. I find that this has a very positive effect on the long term benefits to training here.In short, if you want to make some great friends, are curious about the fighting arts, or are a seasoned pugilist, then you owe it to yourself to check out Train. Fight. Win.In the case of the curious beginner then I practically insist; you will learn very interesting things about yourself.

After being invited a few times by my husband I decided to check out Train.Fight.Win. During my second visit to the gym I was convinced to run a triathlon that would take place within 4 months. I was super scared and really didn’t think I could possibly do it, but coaches L.A. and Mike went the extra mile to support me every step of the way - they helped with my diet, they met me after gym hours for swimming/bike training and more than that, they genuinely believed in me. Coach L.A. ran the tri by my side the whole way. Crossing the finish line with her and Coach S.J. was absolutely awesome. I’ve ran four other races since.After attending conditioning classes for a while, I started going to the women’s kickboxing classes. This is no cardio kickboxing, it is the real deal. It is a high intensity striking class where I made several friends in a very serious, but still social atmosphere. Almost a year later I became pregnant with our second child and kept training for 7 months. Coach L.A. was extremely attentive and thoughtful, adapting all the drills and workouts to suit me.To sum up, Train.Fight.Win. is a great gym and I would strongly recommend it to anyone. The coaches are legitimately nice and personal and will take your goals very seriously.

Ive been training for more than 20 years and have owned MMA gyms in Los Angeles. I visited the Denver area for a week and got the opportunity to train here. The team at TrainFightWin are the real deal and super cool as well. Coach Mike and LA are great teachers. Super technical, strategic, and practical, yet also very humble and safe. No one is trying to be a tough guy here. Everyone is friendly and respectful. Rare for a gym that likes to train hard. Much respect. Highly recommend to anyone in Denver.

What the other reviewers have said really is true: Mike and L.A. are wonderful, highly skilled coaches, and they welcome everyone at all skill levels. Even after a heinous day at work, when Im sleep-deprived and the couch is calling my name, I still show up for class because its so much fun, and because Im constantly improving my skills and overall fitness. My training partners are skilled, respectful, and supportive, and are all-around amazing people, and I look forward to working hard with them every time I go to class. If youre new to mma, dont be intimidated; come in and try a few classes. And if youre a seasoned vet, Mike and L.A. have what it takes to get you ready to do your best in the ring.

Great place, definitely best place Ive trained in! I started training here about 5 months ago and the people and trainers are great! I am grateful to have found this place, they help you get where you want, whether strength and conditioning or great fighter to best grappler, they got what you need. They are a second familia to me that push you beyond the limit!

Pros: They teach many different styles from Kali and boxing. I do not know how qualified the instructors are based on Muay Thai and BJJ but they offer that as well. They are reasonable based on their prices and schedules. The people you get to train with are often pretty nice. They keep a balanced sport and street mentality.Cons: They often change their memberships and prices around every three months it seems, so there is a inconsistency based on that (but there is no contract so they can). The female coach from my own experience had a pretty bad attitude when teaching as if she was paying us rather then us them. Quite frankly the coaches there (especially LA Jennings) are generally just rude to their students. The gym is pretty cold year round, and it does not heat up with people working out in there, so I had to wear socks for most of the training.I personally will not be going back to this gym nor would I advice others to go here when theres many other gyms with a more professional attitude when it comes to teaching students.

Train. Fight Win. is a great place to train whether your goal is to get in shape, fight, make friends, build connections or try something new!When I first starting coming to TFW I wasnt in a great place both physically and mentally. I wanted to get back in shape, while trying something new. I started attending the womans kick boxing class. I was terrified of trying something new but Coach L.A. and the other woman in the class welcomed me with open gloves and encouraging attitudes. After attending the womans kick boxing for a few months, I started attending the co-ed kick boxing clads and have been growing as a fighter both physically and mentally, with the help of the coaches and my fellow kick boxers, ever since.While the fighting classes have become a huge part of my life, conditioning will continue to be the class that I attend most. This class is helpful for all skill levels and will push you to reach limits that you desire. This class provides a variety of different work outs and keeps you on your toes from class to class. From cardio to weight lifting, this class is helpful to anyone that wants to make progress in themselves in a variety of ways!This gym is very welcoming and centered around connecting people who share the desire to takes steps to be healthy! Everyone is very encouraging, supportive and friendly! I have made many friends and friends who have become family through this community environment!Definitely a great gym to visit!

By far the best MMA gym I have been to. It’s hard to describe how uniquely fantastic the TFW family is!Coaches LA and Mike were excellent trainers who made classes fun and incredibly safe. As a beginner, I appreciated how welcome and comfortable they made me feel, while still pushing me to improve.The other folks who train here are all friendly and there’s a delightful absence of any kind of bravado I would have expected from “fighting” gyms. People are willing to work with beginners and help them learn without making you feel incompetent. Most importantly, there’s an emphasis on technique and skills- building that ensures everyone is safe practicing at the right level. Somehow they maintain this welcoming space while still having a “no-bs, we’re here to train” attitude that makes you want to work hard. This place offers exactly the kind of intensity you want in an mma gym.I started off in the gender-equality MMA (GEMMA) classes but couldn’t get enough of it so I ended participating in the wider class offerings. I was happy to see that the very woke mentality the coaches embody and engender pervades all of their classes.

Train. Fight. Win is a transformation factory. Far above merely getting in shape or learning martial arts techniques, this place can really change your life. I came in about two months ago after a long hiatus in training and they enthusiastically brought me back in to the fold and got me on track. Mike and Jeff, the grappling trainers, encouraged me to train for a grappling tournament, and in less than two months after I started I was competing at a high level. With some healthy prodding from the trainers I pushed myself harder than I ever have. The progress I made in such a short time was tremendous.Ive dipped my toes in other gyms and there were some things about them I didnt like. In other places there are basically meatheads that either beat you up or neglect giving you the full attention your training deserves. Not like that here. Other gyms have inconvenient schedules but if you have evenings off like most people youll always be able to find a class here. The pricing is really fair too, considering its a flat monthly rate for unlimited classes in a nice downtown area.Mike and L.A., the owners and head trainers, foster an environment in the gym that feels like a family or a tight knit group of friends with a common goal. Your accomplishments are everyones accomplishments. Your progress elevates everyone else. The owners have been steeped in fight culture for decades. Whatever you want to get out of the training, whether it be fitness, basic self defense, or high level competition, they can take you however high you aspire to go.

Train. Fight. Win. is true to its name, and then some. Without a doubt this is THE best place you can go to in Denver if you are looking to challenge yourself either as an experienced fighter, or as someone who is truly novice to MMA, or even really as a new person to a gym setting. Owner and Coach LA is a true professional in her field, she knows her craft inside and out, backwards and forwards, as does Mike, Co-Owner and Coach at TFW. I have taken, at this point, countless classes from both, as well as from their equally professional and incredibly knowledgeable coaches SJ, Tym, and Parker, and have never once been disappointed in their work. After (literal) years of training in other martial arts and fight styles, I can tell you that, in my comparably shorter time at TFW, I have grown so much more as an athlete, fighter, and person than I imagined I would when I first walked through their door. All the staff are incredibly kind and courteous to anyone who comes into their gym, and you are treated immediately as a welcomed member of their community. I scrolled down to see who in the hell could give this place anything less than 5 stars, and it seems to be from folks who have a chip on their shoulder, and not even an ounce of the humility and gumption you need to truly make yourself here, or for that matter, at any gym. If youve got an ego, check it at the door, and come in prepared to discipline yourself, which is what any martial artist worth their salt knows is at the core of their work. The coaches of TFW are there to help make you better and turn out winners, because thats what they do. They also are exceptional at treating you like an actual human, which in my years of being at other gyms, isnt always guaranteed. If you need someone to sit and listen to you complain about how hard the work is, or to tell you how amazing you are every five minutes, go find somewhere else and get in line there. But if you are looking for a gym that you will leave every day feeling more accomplished, connected, and just as an overall better version of yourself than when you got there, look no further. TFW is where its at.

I absolutely love this gym! I trained Muay Thai/MMA in Denver and some in Albuquerque NM. So when it was time to find a gym close to home TFW won my vote. Its three blocks away from my old high school so I was a little disappointed I didnt find it sooner. Mike and LA are world-class coaches have built an amazing gym. We train MMA, Kickboxing, Kali, and have conditioning sessions I highly recommend.Respect and appreciation to those before usTrain.Fight.Win.!

I was really turned off by being a potential future customer and having a registered service animal I was denied access to even look at the gym. Restaurants dont even deny me service.

Train.Fight.Win, is a second home to me, and one where I will always feel comfortable. I started training at TFW the first week that they opened in 2009. Upon stepping in the door, I immediately felt at home. Maybe it was the Social Distortion and The Pixies playing on the radio, or maybe it was the fact that Mike and L.A. were super enthusiastic, friendly and welcoming. Regardless, I felt as if I had reunited with two of my old friends and that it was time to start training together again. Even better was when I found out that there are no contracts, no school uniforms, and that the price that you pay the first day is the price you’ll pay for life. I pay the same monthly rate that I did in 2009, and that’s a good deal. If you ever feel like you need to take some time off to go pursue other interests, focus on school, deal with health issues, spend time with your family, or just need a break, you can leave at any time and step back in without any problems. Mike and LA are happy to have you train with them, and if you don’t want to be there, they would rather not have you locked into a contract requiring that you be there. This isn’t a gym focused on making money, this is a gym focused on training and fitness.The gym is a big room with a boxing ring, a big soft matted area for grappling and striking with 4- 5 heavy bags. There is also another hard matted area for workouts with pull-up bars, a squat rack, a bench, and lots of bumper plates and kettle bells. Mike and L.A. dont need much to put you through a complete workout and to teach you some great fighting skills.The Owners/Trainers: Mike is a Guro in the FCS (Filipino Combat Systems) system of Kali, a Sifu in the Siu Family/Lineage of Wing Chun, has a background in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Catch Wrestling, Boxing, and Muay Thai. L.A. has a background in BJJ, Catch Wrestling, Boxing, Muay Thai, Sansho, and Kali. I consider them both to be extremely proficient in the fighting arts.The Clientele: People who want train hard and have fun doing it. There are plenty of men and women here who are extremely competent in their skill set, be it Kali, grappling or striking. There are also beginners. My point is that you are going to work with skill sets across the spectrum and you should be prepared to tone it down while working with beginners and you can level up when working with the advanced. If you have something to prove, you should go somewhere else. If you want to beat up your training partners, you should go somewhere else. If you can’t control yourself and can’t tone down your training/sparring/aggression level to work with beginners, you should go somewhere else.The Classes:Kali: A blade-based, offensive (not self-defense) system of martial arts that was developed out of old-school jungle tribal warfare in the Philippines. It is a very cool system that most people don’t find out about until they’ve been training in the martial arts for a long time. Mike teaches this, and his level of expertise is mind-blowing. I dont know when he started training, but he’s been consistent in his training for a long time. Sticks and knives. Espada y daga. Panantukan (empty-hand). It is truly a wonder to train with a guy whose flow is so on point.Grappling: How to fight on the ground. Chokes, submissions, joint locks.Striking: Stand-up fighting. Kicks and punches with some boxing and Kali footwork.Conditioning: These are highly cardio classes with lots of body weight and kettlebell exercises.Weight Lifting: Men’s and women’s. I’m stronger than I’ve ever been.Panantukan: This is the empty-hand side of Kali.MMA: Combines the stand up and ground portions of fighting with different perspectives on strategy.I love TFW. I’ve thought about moving out of state from time to time in the past, but I also know that I would never have a gym in which I would feel as comfortable and be as happy to train. This is a unique place.

Ive trained in several martial arts and at several fitness gyms since Ive moved a lot in the past. When searching for gyms to go to in Denver, I was looking for something that would continue some kind of martial art training and keep me in great shape. Add to it that this gym has a great membership rate (low price for unlimited, instructor-led classes), is filled with awesome people, has knowledgeable instructors, and flat out works (I ran the tough mudder after training here for a year and did great!).If youre into some MMA / kickboxing / muy thai / kali / escrima / or grappling ... or just want to do some serious conditioning and strength training, this gym can offer all of that!

This gym is extremely welcoming to everybody regardless of where you are at in your journey. Instructors help you out with any questions you have and the vibe here is awesome. Super clean place and positive atmosphere for training. I didnt end up signing a membership here because it was a too far from my home/work but Id totally recommend this gym to anybody looking for a place to train!
