Fantastic experience: Awesome training facility! I looked for years to find a kickboxing-esque training place that would help give me a lower body workout as well as teaching me to fight for myself if in an altercation as I have boxed for years but no place ever offered the technique with the workout I desired....this place has it all and the coaches are wonderful! So glad to have found a place to train at the level I have been seeking with highly skilled and knowledgeable coaches. Definitely would recommend Apex to anyone who is interested in a serious martial art training while still getting a stellar workout

Fantastic experience: I’ve trained at other martial arts places and Muay Thai gyms before, Apex is definitely by far the best! The coaches are absolutely outstanding, with a ton of Muay Thai experience, and I love their way of teaching, they are great at giving individual attention to each person in class, and really care about their students. Highly recommend you check them out if you want to really learn Muay Thai and MMA.

Fantastic experience: Excellent place to train. The coaches and instructors are very knowledgeable and have a lot of personal experience in BJJ/Muay Thai/MMA. The environment of the gym is positive, and everyone works hard to constantly improve. The people here genuinely care about and take care of each other, inside and outside of the gym.

Melissa L MacDuff 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough about how much I love training at Apex. I joined as a single mother looking for martial arts for my son and myself and they welcomed us both with open arms and quickly became a community we are very proud to be apart of. In just a short amount of time we both have learned so much and it’s truly a gym we look forward to coming to everyday.

Laura L Macias 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Walked into this building very nervous with having absolutely no experience in martial arts. Everyone in the building was welcoming and encouraging. I began taking the kickboxing classes and was immediately hooked. I've gained strength, confidence, and community here. Wouldn't go anywhere else!

Melissa Talcott 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality , Value I can't express how much my family loves Apex and their team. The coaches are amazing and work wonders with the kids. Hands down one of the best things we could have had our son join. I highly recommend everyone try them.

Chris Eastman 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love it here. I’ve quit other BJJ schools because as a beginner, I’ve gotten hurt by upper level belts, and just felt generally unprepared for sparring, which many other schools do as part of beginner lessons. At APEX it is COMPLETELY optional to roll or spar, which means MORE time is spend on drilling the techniques without worrying about getting smashed before you know what you’re doing. I feel taken care of here, and the culture is SUPER friendly. No over-the top ultra masculinity or egos here. I absolutely love it and if you are anything like me (a beginner looking to learn at your own pace, and not feel rushed into sparring before you’re comfortable)… THIS is probably where you’ll feel the best. This is the place I’m sticking with full time… I signed up for an entire year right off the bat. 5 stars.

Michelle Guida 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Coaches Brian and Austin were so welcoming with incredible skills and experience. This Academy is training actual fighters and also welcomes first timers and youths. 1st time fighter here! If I had a son or daughter I would also bring them to the youth program, the kids were running and laughing. Thanks guys!

Dong Mayek 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have nothing but great things to say about Apex. It has been a great experience from day 1. All of the coaches are super knowledgeable and take the take the time to make sure you are learning at your own pace. Walking into a new martial arts gym can be intimidating, not apex though. The moment we stepped foot in the gym everyone was treating us like family and made sure we were comfortable. I am amazed at the progress I have made in such little time, definitely would not have been possible without the great coaches and staff at Apex.

andy riggs 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality , Value I’ve only been at Apex for just over a month and have never been a member of any MMA type gym, so really had no idea what to expect. But I can honestly say I feel comfortable here, as well as feel like the instruction is top notch. I’m glad I ended up at Apex vs any other gym I was looking at. Good people

Tier 1 Fitness Charles Espinosa 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Apex Combat Academy is a premier MMA gym in the Denver metro area with top instructors from BJJ to Muay Thai to striking! They are extremely knowledgeable and help you achieve your goals and then some! Me, being a veteran of the US Army, I feel a similar brotherhood here as I did in the Army. It is a great community to be a part of! Everyone helps each other out and is so friendly and makes you feel like you are a part of the family! I was a part of some bigger schools in the past and felt like I was just a number. At Apex, I feel like a member of a hard working team! I recommend Apex Combat Academy over any other school in Colorado ! And for the price you can’t get any better for what is offered!

Danny Werner 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Came into Apex as a beginner eager to learn Jiu Jitsu. The coaches are top-notch instructors, giving me a complete understanding on how to improve my performance. This respectful and encouraging environment has given me a great place to find success.

Jheru Montanez 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Have trained on and off for about 7 years, mostly by myself. Manly because I had a bad experience at a previous gym. So, when I moved to Denver I was really tedious scouting gyms. Without naming any, checked out every gym within a 30 min radius of my house. Didn't like how they all shoved a pen and contract in your face at the end of the showing. Finally stumbled across apex and experienced something totally new. A feeling of belonging a feeling of strength and a feeling of pride. It just felt right for me. Having the best coaching team in the state and like minded students was icing on the cake for me. 3 months in 20 pounds down im sold. I will train at Apex for as long as I'm in Denver. Once I hit my weight goal, I might even take a fight for my team. Love getting up everyday and walking in. Just puts a smile on your face.

Daniel Trujillo 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism , Quality Great coaches, facility, and peers. This gym is perfect if you’re new to martial arts or a veteran. The community and environment at APEX is relaxed and fun.

Greg Eickelman 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Always wanted to try martial arts and went to a few places around Denver, however always seemed the places just wanted your money and did not care about teaching and development. Found Apex Combat Academy online and went in for a free one on one Muay Thai session with coach Austin in early April, 2020. It was a great experience and joined as a member. All the coaches are very knowledgeable and are willing to work with you on development, growth, technique and conditioning. Apex has a family feel to it and all the members are friendly and are also willing to help in development. I would highly recommend Apex Combat if you are looking to try Muay Thai or jiu jitsu as a beginner or are looking for a new place to workout.

Pete Walker 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I love the entire Apex experience. The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable and great at explaining techniques in a manner that makes sense to me. I'm fairly new to Denver and the family atmosphere at Apex has been awesome for me. I've been to a lot of martial arts gyms and Apex tops the list. The family atmosphere, combined with the professionalism, knowledge, and passion for helping students of all levels is second to none.

Christopher Lee 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great peers and top level coaches here. Atmosphere is welcoming, provides thoughtful martial arts training for all levels, and thankfully doesn't have that tough guy vibe that a lot of MMA gyms have these days. I look forward to seeing the incredible team that runs this gym as much as I can. I highly recommend this gym for adults and kids.

Arely Anaya 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism , Quality , Value LOVE this place! Amazing trainers ! Incredible gym, you will literally love it as well! Beginners trust me you’ll become more confident and more passionate in martial arts! Give it time and dedication and you’ll see how much you learn !!

Jashon Evans 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I loved everything about this place. I visited while in Colorado and it was incredible. I was coached on stance so well. I was taught about how to perform kicks and the analogy to things were great. They also have to much respect for the martial arts and their coaches. They even have respect for the new people and people coming on a regular basis. If you plan on training in any mma start here.

Ty Barker 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: This is hands down the best gym in the Denver metro area. Coach Austin has next level striking and is the most instructive coach I've ever been around. Coach Derek keeps the body fresh with intense stretching, and phenomenal recovery programs. Professor Marco is an absolute wizard on the mat. Best thing about Apex is there is always the most positive attitudes there which makes you want to keep coming back. Oss

Jesse Let 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality , Value Great spot for everyone from beginners such as myself and even those who have been studying for years! The best atmosphere and overall quality of the gym. The amount of attention given to the students is amazing. Do yourself a favor and come to Apex!

Brandon Nhean 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality , Value Awesome gym with equally awesome people and instructors! Great sense of community, and the combined decades worth of experience their instructors all have amongst themselves provides excellent training experiences for people of all skill levels at a more than fair price. You can’t go wrong with team Apex!

Martin Lopez 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: An awesome place to start learning martial arts! The coaches are very skilled, knowledgeable, and friendly. I was nervous about starting martial arts, but the folks at Apex were very welcoming and made sure I knew the fundamentals before starting my first official class. Since starting I can safely say that my confidence levels have risen, I have been getting in shape. As soon as a wake up in the morning the only thing I can think of is going to train at Apex. My only regret is not joining this gym sooner!

Xavia Schmidt 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: This is the best gym experience I’ve ever had in my life! I walked in my first day feeling a little hesitant since I don’t have very much previous martial arts experience. These guys are so friendly and professional, I automatically felt like I belonged. There is always something to learn, the atmosphere is so positive even on the days I wasn’t feeling 100% I’ve never left the gym feeling anything but empowered and energized. Seriously fantastic group of teachers, I recommend checking it out. Great little hidden gem of Englewood.

Dat Boi 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism , Quality , Value Been training the jitz here since May. It’s my fourth gym in the Denver area and by far my favorite. High quality instruction and down to earth classmates make it a welcoming place regardless of skill level. Lots of cute boys too. 10/10

Ellanna Hefner 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Positive: Quality I like the fact it's a small community gym. Apex has awesome coaches and awesome training sessions. The quality amount of time spent because of the small amount of people in each class is very helpful. Apex has definitely made learning a new skill and self defense fun and meaningful.

Travis Steinacher 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: This gym is for everyone. No matter what your experience level is or what your purpose for training is (competing/self-defense/fitness/lifestyle/etc.) you will be treated the same and you’ll always learn something new. It feels more like a family than anything else. I spent just as much time hanging out as I did training. Go in ready to work and ready to learn and you won’t be disappointed.

Laurie DeSoto 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I came to Apex with no experience and no idea of what to expect and it’s definitely one of the best things I’ve done for myself! The coaches are so kind and knowledgeable (they know their stuff)! I was never really a gym person and yet here I am going there pretty much everyday. The atmosphere never makes me feel pressured or self conscious and actually gets me more motivated! If you’re looking to try something new, polish your skills, or find friendly people, Apex is the place to be!

Charles Espinosa 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Positive: Quality Amazing training facility. Instructors are technical and educated and have tons of experience. One of the best schools in the metro Denver area and Colorado . I been going to a top tier school before them and I can honestly say I have learned more here in half the time at a bigger school. I give it 5 stars

Quynh Nguyen 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Apex is an AMAZING place to be a part of! They are so genuine, helpful, welcoming, knowledgeable and loyal. If you are looking for Personal Training, Muay Thai Kickboxing or Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, this is the place to be. You are not just a member. You are part of a family. They offer many classes throughout the day to fit the needs of so many. They are incredibly welcoming! I highly recommend Apex!!!
