The Guardian Network

As a first responder, there is a specific caliber of facility that you're looking for when you go to train in defense or general fitness. With Guardian Network, you can find the right place without having to step foot in the gym first. Our community of gyms and first responders have vetted the experience of each facility so that you can pick the best space for you every time.

Why Should You Train With Someone in the Guardian Network?

Building strength and learning effective self-defense tactics is a vital role in any first responders job description. And with the current climate, it's becoming more important to seek out a way to learn how to properly control yourself or another in a dangerous situation.

The community of the Guardian Network is based around other first responders' recommendations. With the trusted word of someone else who's already been there, you can choose a new place to train without worrying if it's going to be worth your time, effort, and resources. The Network will only continue to grow as more people submit their opinions of spaces in the area. We aim to have an international map of the best places for law enforcement officers and first responders to train without worry or judgement.

How Do I Become an Endorsed Space in the Guardian Network?

Since the Network is based off of general recommendations from a member who has already trained with you, there are 2 ways to become an endorsed facility. First of all, you can be recommended by someone who has trained with you and that recommendation can be backed by others who may have visited your facility before. But another option is to throw your hat in the ring. You can fill out the short form on your screen for us to add you to our list for members to review and rate. As long as you can get the backing of someone who uses the Network, you can be endorsed.

What Kinds of Facilities are in the Guardian Network?

With much of a first responder's job centered around protecting the public, the last thing that we want to do when we're going somewhere to relax or train is work more. The facilities in the Guardian Network range from Martial Arts schools to general fitness facilities that specialize in teaching self-defense. What's more is that all of the places endorsed in our Network have been personally recommended by other law enforcement or first responders as places that they trust and respect. As the Network grows, you'll be able to read what aspects of these facilities are the most notable to people just like you.
