GMax Academy offers a range of training options, including private tuition, ongoing classes, seminars, and consultancy. The belt-system syllabus ensures that training is progressive and benchmarked, allowing students to track their progress and set goals. Gradings are not compulsory for kickboxing students who simply want to enjoy the fitness benefits of the sport.

In addition to martial arts and kickboxing, GMax Academy also offers gymnastics training.
