The best thing I did after separation from the Military was joining Factory X!!! It gave me structure, challenged me physically and mentally, and gave me a sense of purpose. Teammates quickly became family. Factory X equiped me with the tools to be a better person both in and outside of the gym. Thank you Factory X!!!! 💪🏽 🙅🏾♂️

Factory X is an incredible gym with top tier coaching and an even better culture. Marc Montoya and his team are extremely knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely invested in their athletes. Training is structured, challenging, and safe, and the environment is welcoming while still pushing you to be your best. Highly recommend for anyone serious about MMA.

I honestly can’t say enough great things about this gym! Factory X Muay Thai is an extremely nice and professional MMA gym, with great coaches! All the staff and coaches were extremely polite, welcoming, and pushed you to be at your best. I worked with Coach Youssef, Coach Austin, and Coach Rafa. All three are great coaches and pushed the students to work hard! I wish I had known about this gym and signed up here way earlier than I did, and although I’m moving to Texas, I will certainly train here anytime I’m in Denver!

This is the best gym in Colorado hands down. They have a lot of amazing coaches that care for your training. I been to a lot of gyms and in many of them they didn’t care for the students but here they do. This gym has it all from beginner clases to helping you become a successful professional fighter. This gym has a great leader and coach Marc Montoya. Really recommend to check it out! 🏆

This gym recently announced a financial program to help struggling individuals and is requesting donations. As someone who asked for leniency in a time of struggle, I’d like share my upsetting experience. While attending this gym, I was struggling through abuse from men. I was also struggling to make ends meet, and I just wanted a place to put my head down and work. I was not left alone. Multiple fighters at this gym mocked and made fun of me in front of other members at this gym. I heavily avoided interaction. While sitting and sleeping in my car on the side of the freeway, I texted and asked; “Could I possibly pause billing and attending for a two week period and then resume?” (I was struggling to make ends meet while also working full time.) The response from the gym owner was; “Our system doesn’t hold for less than a month.” Luckily, God provided and my ex boyfriend offered to pay $200 for me to keep training. (That’s the monthly rate.There’s also a $200 initial fee that had already been paid.) I will provide a screenshot of this conversation. I asked in person to a kind instructor, and he told me that sounded very reasonable. There are a couple people at this gym that are genuine. After leaving a comment on a recent instagram post relating to this GuardianGym, I was contacted by the owner. (This post was requesting donations for those struggling financially.) She attempted to apologize, and in the same breath she asked for the deletion of my comment. Also while apologizing, she was attempting to blame and deflect the responsibility that she denied my request for a freeze. This inspired me to share my experience.
