From the reviews
This place is a GEM!!! With complete transparency, I lived in California and planned my entire move to Colorado just to be able to train at Genesis Training Academy (GTA).
This gym is excellent! If you want an all around skill set this is the place to go. If you want to learn jiu jitsu from top notch black belts this is the place to go! The owners are very welcoming and take care of their members and everyone is welcome.
I’m a Pro Boxer and been signed up with Genesis Fight Team for almost 2 years now. This is the gym to be staff is friendly and always there if you need anything. And the knowledge that these coaches have It’s unreal!! Come down to Genesis fight and have a great time learning and training with great people!!🥊🥊
Genesis is absolutely The BEST!!!! Professional, welcoming, thoughtful and family oriented. Seasoned athletes as well as new folks thrive here. It truly feels like a home away from home. Amanda & Jake are world class people and take care of their Genesis Team. Our community is blessed to have them
New to muay thai? Start at Genesis Training Academy
Genesis Training Academy comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the conditioning to you. Second, you won't be thrown into sparring — reputable gyms build fundamentals (stance, footwork, and the basic strikes of the "art of eight limbs") for weeks before any contact, and sparring stays optional. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first muay thai class at Genesis Training Academy
Nervous about walking into a muay thai gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics on pads and bags — not fighting. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: shorts or athletic wear and a t-shirt; you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and hand wraps if you have them — many gyms lend gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves, wraps, a mouthguard, and shin guards. Sparring is optional and comes later, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
