My kids have been enrolled there for three years now and it has been a wonderful experience!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Belinda SFamily friendly gym, love taking classes here. My son loves the mixed martial arts class as well as Jiu-Jitsu. My husband and myself both enjoy No-Gi and BJJ. The gym downstairs is phenomenal too to lift and get a sweat in before your class starts! I'd recommend to all! **** There's also a playroom for the kids to play in while the adults take their class! ***Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.j knightGLBJJ is one of the most amazing gym I’ve trained at. A great family atmosphere that makes everyone feel welcome. Kelly and Adam are phenomenal coaches with an eye on the safety and wellbeing of their students.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.The Green Way OutdoorsSafe environment with elite staff that work hard to see you succeed.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.jordan tuttleThe gym is definitely one of a kind. The staff works over time to make sure that every student has an opportunity to learn at their own pace as well as learning a style that fits them. The gym accomplishes this by bringing a variety of high level coaches from all over using different styles very frequently, as well as being extremely active themselves in both training and coaching. When you walk into the doors both the coaches and the students do an amazing job of making you feel welcome, and it is very clear that everyone’s ego is left at the door. For those who are not quite ready to be surrounded by environments or situations that may make them feel uncomfortable. There are both male and female coaches that host various of private classes, group self defense classes, law enforcement classes, and more. I’ve truly never been part of a gym that feels like a family and is so well rounded. If you are not yet training here, I strongly recommend giving it a shot with their free week trial.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Jason BurdetteI'm glad I chose this place for my 6 year old son to learn BJJ and striking and I easily see him sticking with it for years to come here. Friendly atmosphere, encouraging, attentive coaches, and the gym is nice and well kept up. They give you your best chance at training instead of getting frustrated. My son would get that way a little at first being 5 but overtime less and less and I owe it to the coaches who helped him overcome it. Great Lakes BJJ is truly a superior quality bargain overall that I very highly recommend.Load more
