About Warrior Fitness Center
Built for serious training and long-term growth
Warrior Fitness Center is a veteran-owned martial arts gym in Colorado Springs, established in 2011. We built the room for beginners who want structure, families who want a safe and disciplined environment, and competitors who need coaching that holds up under pressure.
Our Story
Colorado Springs coaching with real depth
Warrior Fitness Center was founded by Benjamin Westrich with the goal of building a martial arts gym that did not have to choose between technical quality and a strong training culture. The result is a room where BJJ, MMA, Muay Thai, Kickboxing, and Kids Martial Arts all live under one roof without becoming watered down.
Our coaching staff includes black belts, high-level competitors, professional fighters, and people who understand how to build durable training habits. That matters because most students are not looking for hype. They are looking for a gym they can trust for years.
We serve complete beginners, active duty military, veterans, busy parents, kids, and experienced athletes. The common thread is simple: people come here to improve, and the room is designed to support that process.
Philosophy
Train with intent
Every class should move you forward. That means clear coaching, a serious room, and a culture that values discipline over noise. We want students to leave class more capable than when they walked in, whether the goal is self-defense, competition, confidence, or consistency.
Our Warrior Code
Are We Right For You
Some people come here to compete. Others want to get in shape, learn self-defense, or find structure and community. Every one of those goals gets built the same way, on the same mat, under the same code.
Respect
Respect is the baseline here. It shows up in every round and every partnership, especially when nobody is watching.
Safety
Hard training only lasts when partners take care of each other. We train hard and we leave healthy.
Community
Soldiers, teachers, parents, students, and kids share this mat. The range of people in the room is what makes it strong.
Cohesion
We are individuals, but we train as one team.
Realism
We train for real life. Self-defense and practical application come before points and gamesmanship.
