Today my 7 year old had her first class with Jake. Immediately I could tell that Jake knows how to work with kids and he had her following detailed instructions in less than 10 minutes. My daughter absolutely loved the lesson and, once she got home, started practicing immediately to prepare for lesson 2. Her confidence is already shining through. My wife is probably going to sign up for cardio kickboxing and I may try my hand at karate as well in the near future. Thank you Jake!

Great place. The team makes you feel very welcome and comfortable. Love the attention they give during the class.Would recommend this place over the few other places I checked into.

Really chill spot. If youre looking for a Martial arts dojo I would definitely recommend. Sensei Scott is awesome

Great place! I have my twins in classes with Scott. Hes very patient with my children and its something I definitely was looking for when looking for classes!

Synergy is a great place to learn in a supportive environment. I came to help get moving again and I was able to learn a lot while being in a positive environment. Scott and his staff are the best!!

Amazing place, incredible instructors. More self defense and all good daily life skills. 15/10 recommend!

From the first time I reached out to Synergy Mr Peterson was extremely nice and helpful. My son had been struggling with his weight, self confidence, and behavior in school, ever since my son joined Synergy Mr Peterson has patiently worked with him to overcome his struggles. My son thinks of Mr Peterson as his friend and is so excited for every class. I believe God has placed Synergy and Mr Peterson in our life. I am so impressed and grateful for the wonderful work Synergy has provided to our family. I would totally recommend Synergy to any one looking for a peaceful, structured, fun atmosphere.

Since I first reached out to Scott about his programs I have been nothing but impressed. His communication and follow up were top notch. Scott accommodated all of our needs for the whole family. This is the perfect blend of discipline, fun and real life skills that we were looking for. No matter what you are looking for with martial arts you cant go wrong with Synergy!

The self-defense classes I had with Mr. Pedersen were amazing! I never imagined I would learn so many maneuvers, get confidence & get some techniques to become automatic! I am a mother & grandmother and not the athletic type so he had his work cut out for him and was marvelous! I highly recommend these classes for anyone of any age and ability!

Scott Peterson has been wonderful working with my 7 year old on a 1 on 1 basis. Hes great at getting my child to focus and follow instructions.

Perfect place to learn real-world self-defense tactics and techniques (TacTecs!) and to have the greatest time making myself stronger and more fit through the high intensity training. My daughter started a few years ago, my wife followed a short time later, and I finally had the opportunity to jump in and find out what all the fun was about. Scotts love for teaching and depth of knowledge are seen in every session. He has enlisted a great team of fellow instructors who each bring personal experience and skill. I highly recommend Synergy Martial Arts & Fitness!!

Scott at Synergy is a great teacher and passionate about what he does. He is always willing to meet his students at their level of expertise. Hes flexible and listens well. He always tries to keep things different and fun. I would highly recommend him to anyone interested in learn self-defense and improving fitness with his HIIT.

Great service & a friendly atmosphere! My children train here. Scott is an amazing teacher and works well with kids!

Great martial arts school and instructor.

This place is great. My son has been attending for more than a year and is very motivated and dedicated. Speaks highly of his instructors and comes home excited. Scott convinced me this would change my son for the better. IT DID! Im so grateful! More importantly its very affordable.

I started taking classes with Scott after working for an aggressive and abusive boss. Scott helped me immediately gain back some of my confidence and ultimately, all of my confidence and my power. He does an amazing job tailoring instruction to his students needs and goals, and I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Scott is great! Hands down one of the most knowledgeable martial arts/self defense instructors out there.

We love Synergy Martial Arts! The fitness classes are challenging and fun while the instructors are always supportive of each individual’s level and needs. Our sons took the martial arts classes when they were younger and the program really helped them improve their focus, self-discipline, and confidence. Highly recommend!

This school is amazing! Scott is the best instructor for students of all abilities! From the practical martial arts classes to the high-energy HIIT classes, the training is superb. Scott is patient, friendly, and knowledgable and there is no pressure to “go big or go home” at this school. The atmosphere is casual and fun and the fitness classes are encouraging and friendly! I highly recommend Synergy!

Synergy Martial Arts and Fitness is an excellent school. We attend the martial arts training. Scott, the instructor, is friendly, knowledgeable and wonderful with my children. The child self-defense program superb. Its real world useful, actual helpful self-defense and advise for real life situations. He also emphasizes common sense and when to fight versus when not to fight. I highly recommend Scott to every parent looking for a childs self-defense program.

Synergy is THE place to go for martial arts and self-defense training for people of all ages. The staff is not only highly talented as martial artists, but top notch as instructors. It is a very unique position to possess both high level martial art talent AND the ability to convey that talent as an instructor. This is WHY my experience at Synergy has been sky high awesome. Scott and Rick are hands down the best in the martial arts teaching business!

I started taking lessons when I was fairly young and eventually earned my purple belt here. While I did eventually stop due to school demands, as a kid I loved coming here once a week and getting all that extra energy out while feeling productive and like I could defend myself. As someone who was picked on, it felt really good to learn and acknowledge that while I should use my words, if a bigger kid threw a punch, I could block it. Scott specifically an awesome instructor who is encouraging and patient, with everyone from small kids, to adults just learning, to those who have been around the block a few times. I would recommend this dojo and its classes to literally anyone looking to get into martial arts, or even just for a good weekly workout that feels good afterwards (even if youre a little sore after from getting too excited haha).

Even though school is suspended, the lessons learned are not. My granddaughter tripped and fell face first. She broke her fall uninjured. The first thing she said was good thing I take karate so I know how to fall! lol. Looking forward to returning.

This school is awesome. Just what I was looking for for my 8 year old son. He loves the classes and the instructor.While other martial arts training places are over-priced and require you make a commitment, Synergy Martial Arts has three easy payment levels that are paid monthly. No committment.My son attends two classes per week. After class, when I ask him did you have fun, his response is, dad, you never have to ask me that, I always have fun!Thats exactly what a parent wants to hear!

Some the best instructors Ive ever known. Their commitment to martial arts and fitness is evident and it continues to show with the improvements on drills and moves to keep up with realistic situations. Great training atmosphere, respectful, committed, experienced, very knowledgeable, funny, relaxed, helpful, and coaches that challenge you to grow. Shout out to Rick and Scott, keep up the great work. Look forward to continue the great training.

I have been taking martial arts since I was 24 and am 56 now . I have been to alot of martial arts schools and Scotts school is one of the best ones I have had the privilege of going to, he pays close attention to detail and makes the classes fun, his style of self defense, is hands on with true life situations on how to protect yourself and your family and is kenpo based, he also cares alot about his students and there families. I would definitely recommend this school to any that wants to learn self defense, get in shape or train to get ready for a match . Love this place, thankyou mr p . For what you do

Mr. Pederson was my teacher from white to blue belt, and I would recommend him for anybody. He did a great job of driving me when I slacked and recognizing where I needed extra tutoring.

Scott and Rick are great! My first introduction was a self defense class with Scott, which was really helpful. Since, Ive attended the HIIT classes with Rick & the class is tough, but the people & atmosphere are super supportive. I appreciate that the instructors are super knowledgeable about form, technique, & have studied this stuff, so its an educational experience if you make it. If youre on the fence, give Synergy a try - you wont be disappointed.

Good looking gym. Great message and cause. I would say more for the novice getting into fitness. Trainer was very nice and welcoming.

If you are looking for a pretentious gym that offers standard fitness classes that focus only on looking cute and listening to Bieber, dont come here. If you are looking for a martial arts education that focuses on technique, training, and results-no matter your fitness level, this is the place for you. Scott and Rick encourage a supportive, educational, and fun atmosphere and they dont tolerate anything less. I have been training under Scott for over 5 years and have gained so much from the training. As cheesy as it sounds, it has literally been life-changing and so positive. I highly recommend Synergy!

Ive been in this club for three months taking kickboxing class and I ve seen my body change faster than when i was in the gym.

This gym is absolutely fantastic! Ive worked with Rick Rogers since 2009 and have always been impressed with his knowledge, passion and energy to help his students reach their goals. He makes the workouts tough yet fun, he pushes while remaining supportive. Plus he plays the best 80s music and is always up for talking about Star Trek, comics or Supernatural. Can you get any better?! I didnt think so. Im proud to call Rick both a teacher and a friend.If you want results - youll get them here. Come work out with us!

Fun & engaging atmosphere

My wife and I have ALWAYS struggled finding a routine to stay fit that we both enjoy and can keep consistent with (and weve tried just about everything). This is the only time in over 7 years of trying to figure it out that we can both say we 1) genuinely enjoy the experience and 2) we are both pushed to our respective limits! We have more energy, have lost weight, and just FEEL so much better from the workouts Rick puts us through - err, I mean, works us through! Whether youre a health nut or walk in more because you know you should, Rick has that rare ability to motivate and progressively (and quickly!) increase your goals no matter where youre starting from. I cannot recommend this highly enough!

Just went for an hour work out with jeff. Good stuff. Just what I was looking for. Even had Scott giving me a couple of.. you can do its..lol. Great place.

Awesome, I felt the energy and endurance right when I walk through the door. The free session was enlightening to say the least, The Instructor pushed me to my limits while being mindful of my exhaustion and gave me the confidence and spark that I needed!... I look forward to getting to the place I need to be... Physically Mentally, Emotionally, and Behaviourally.

I have been taking my son to Karate lessons at Advantage Martial Arts (now called Synergy) for seven years now. He loves his lessons, and has learned a lot about discipline and self respect. He is much more coordinated now which helps him with sports such as basketball. His instructor Scott Pedersen is great with kids and has always created a safe and fun environment. He is calm and friendly but also firm. He is able to work with a variety of skill levels all within the same class while keeping each child engaged. My son is currently enrolled in private lessons which has helped him master individual challenges. This studio offers many different classes and activities for children and adults. It is a great place for the whole family.

Excellent place for training in Kenpo martial arts and Kali weapons training. The fitness program will keep you coming back for more. Hugh facility and easy location. I have learned useful skills for street and sport fighting. Both Scott and Rick, the owners and Head instructors, are Awesome to work with. Highly, highly recommend Synergy.

Very educated and talented instructors. Excellent kickboxing program-I definitely recommend them!!

Ive trained at synergy for 5 yrs now. Scotts way of teaching is easy to understand and fun.

I have had the opportunity to work with some of the top martial arts instructors in the industry through my travels and the guys at Synergy Martial Arts and Fitness are in my opinion right up there with some of the best. If you are looking for training in the arts you cant go wrong with theses guys!

I love karate an its all because of a karate school in Littleton CO and its called Exclusive Martial arts ...Come check us out !!!

What I was looking for when I joined Gym Synergy was a school where I could continue learning Kali (Filipino Martial Arts) and self defense. What I found was a place where I could advance in these skills but also get an incredible workout, a place with the highest caliber of instructors and a place where I could develop incredible friendships and camaraderie.Feeling frustrated? Come and hit a bag. Learn how to throw a punch and kick so your leg doesnt break (Anderson Silva Im looking at you).The facility is great and Sifu Scott P, Dr. Rick and Paul (MMA coach) will make you better. Come here if you want to work hard, look good and learn that learning how to defend yourself IS an art.

I love this gym! They have cardio fitness classes, personal training, and a variety of martial arts classes. You can choose the kind of experience that you want. The street fighting-type classes are super-intense and amazingly fun. I call it bruises and smiles since everyone seems to finish class a little bit bruised, but very happy. Meanwhile, the cardio classes are more mainstream (no bruises) but still very challenging and fun. I havent taken any of the the Kenpo Karate classes, but they look like more of a traditional approach to martial arts. The two owners, Rick and Scott, bring many years of experience in martial arts and physical fitness. You see people at all ages and fitness levels in this school. Theres a friendly and welcoming vibe from both students and staff.

Gym~Synergy Rated #1 Martial Arts and Fitness Gym in the cG9ty by JerdiggityTV,!! is is a magical place! The instructors Rick and Scott are very knowledgeable, friendly, fair, and fun!! And yet still know when where, & how to instill discipline if needed! I am so glad I found this place I look forward to being here for years.

Ive been a Synergy student for 6 years and am happy to call it home. The best part about Synergy is the fact that they offer instruction for just about any purpose (self-defense, sport/professional, fitness and health) and any skill level -- first class to black belt or pro. Also crucial to me is the great price and lack of contract.Ive trained at Synergy in kenpo (short description below if youre unfamiliar), kick boxing, a bit of MMA and fitness classes in both private and group settings. There are other offerings that I have yet to try as well. Instruction, and the instructors themselves, are top notch. Co-owner Scott Pedersen is awesome at adapting his teaching style to help just about anyone get the most out of class. Ive seen him teach six to sixty year olds (including my two kids), first timers to black belts, English as second language students and even students suffering from nagging injuries, chronic pain and serious disabilities. The same goes for MMA head instructor Paul, and I havent trained much with the other co-owner Rick but hes a cool cat, has a pretty sick resume and Ive heard nothing but good from those who have trained and worked with him.When shopping around originally, I tried different studios and styles around Denver looking to resume martial arts training but also to learn how to keep my family and I safe. Kenpo fit the bill. The self defense focus differs from tae kwon do or karate which revolve around sport fighting. Kenpo does borrow from traditional martial arts but also adds its own flavors to address just about any dangerous situation you can think of. The idea is to learn to spot and exploit advantages to create an opening for a safe escape. Training aims to prepare you for awareness, readiness and effectiveness in the real world, not just in class against kenpo students. Every technique is situational and potential situations are created in class and practiced with classmates who are encouraged not to give up easily. Application on real people is especially helpful in group class where youll practice techniques with people of all shapes, sizes and skills. In addition, theres more of an emphasis on principles than specific techniques, and improvisation is encouraged as long as it leads to getting yourself out of trouble (although you still have to nail your techniques to pass tests). Generally, the same is true for kickboxing and MMA.The last thing on my original priority list was the environment, or making friends, or anything like that. But without getting all syrupy (but still using a corny cliché only in search of accuracy) I feel like Im with family when Im there. There are tough guys but no toughguys. No elitism.The only downside Ive run into is that with all the different classes and skill levels offered, some of the less attended classes are offered only once or twice a week. The fact that a private lesson is part of the package helps with that. Speaking of the package, no contract (monthly fee only) means you only pay when youre actually attending. And its been a while but when I was shopping around, Synergys monthly fee couldnt be beat.fyi - my 6 years of training includes time spent at the location preceding the recent move under the title Advantage Martial Arts

Love the energy in here!

Excellent place for children to learn self defense, helps them to be disciplined, fight bullying, exercise, 100% recommended.
