FAQs

Can I watch a class before participating?

Absolutely! If you feel more comfortable seeing what our classes are like before participating, feel free to come watch first. We have a sitting area with benches, water fountains, and restrooms where you can make yourself at home while observing class. On the other hand, if you would like to try class on your first visit, you are welcome to do that as well, and we will help you settle right in.

What is a typical class like?

We like to mix things up to keep it exciting, but a typical class will start off with a brief warm-up. Sometimes the warm up will be calisthenic-type movements. Other times it will be a functional warm up where we incorporate movements that will be used during the technique portion of the class. Then the bulk of the class will be spent performing techniques that the instructor demonstrates. The instructor will monitor and help you drill the moves correctly until you are able to perform them without help. Finally, the class will usually conclude with a period where you perform the same techniques but with increased intensity and potentially more resistance from your partner. This allows you to get accustomed to executing the movements against an active opponent.

Where do I park?

We have an enclosed parking lot in front of and to the left of the building that you are welcome to use. In addition, street parking is free on all the blocks surrounding the gym.

Do you have a flexible schedule to accommodate members who juggle several things like work, school, and family obligations?

Yes, we offer several class options throughout the week. In addition, we have a variety of membership options to accommodate different schedules and budgets. After you have checked out your first FREE class, we would be happy to sit down with you and walk through these options.

Do you have showers?

We do have showers. If you decide to use them, please bring your own soap and towel and be sure to take all of your belongings with you when you are done. Also, please be respectful of others who might be waiting to use the showers and try to limit your shower time to 5-10 minutes.

You can find more answers to some of our most commonly asked questions on the FAQ page of our website.

Boy, is it getting cold out there! It's tempting to curl up under the blankets, but do not sacrifice your workout routine. In fact, working out can actually help you stay warm! The act of exercising warms your body while you're doing it, but it also encourages your body to burn more calories overall, which puts off heat. Vigorous exercise even has the power to raise your core body temperature for periods of time. So next time you find yourself complaining about the cold, get yourself over to the gym or a BJJ class to keep yourself warm this season!
