Was ready to get back to cardio and strength. My nutrition is on point, so I don't need that, but they do offer help with that here if you need it. They also have an in-house massage therapist. The owner, Nico, is great. Very thorough on everything from what the workouts are to the membership options. He was the coach for my first class. He's high energy and pays attention to every detail. Want to go some where you're not just a face, but on a first name basis with everyone? This is it. Really good energy, excellent workout. The first half of the workout is circuit training strength, offering no weights/light weights/heavy weight options at every station. Second half is on the floor length and tear drop bags. Was pretty gassed by 3/4 of the way through. Looking forward to making this my fitness home for a while.

On the surface of Alvarez BJJ, there are many team trophies, and even more medals from both him and…read morehis daughter on the walls. The facility is nice, you will feel like signing the contract immediately. However, It is overpriced and the school is overrated. After experiencing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in several different places over the world, the coaching isn't worth the price. The social environment is better for kids and teens looking for a supervised activity but does not possess the candor for adults. I've known this school for several years, when the location was in the warehouse across the lot from the facility where it is currently. The quality of attention has declined. Coach Alvarez's daughter, Danielle Alvarez worked with these kids for several years, however some of the parents I speak with express how their child's skill in jiu jitsu isn't growing. I've learned that she is very manipulative with the teenagers, showing favoritism with certain teamates and outcasting other individuals. She deceptively encourages the favorited young and impressionable teammates to be overly aggressive when rolling and sparring with the outcasts. I have noticed that she, along with Coach Danny, is a crucial factor to why the school is cliqueish and has a pack mentality. This is something I noticed more of as she is given more responsibility and freedom as a coach from her father and also as the children she's coached for years are growing up being groomed under her control. They look up to her because she is a world champion in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and they do not yet have the critical ability of discernment to recognize that this is manipulation and bullying. Instead being investigated and corrected by the head coach, this behavior is downplayed and defended by Coach Danny Alvarez. Coach Danielle Alvarez communicates great in the kids class but is very socially awkward with adults, and is arrogant towards other female teamates that she alienates. The frequent absence of coaching and aloofness from Coach Danny Alvarez has adverse affects on the classroom dynamics. His handling of conflicts are vaguely directed at the class in a shrewd lecture which demonizes any specific unnamed individual without speaking with them directly. This gives the effect of indirect shaming because of the presence the audience, the team. They offer different packages labeled under Bronze, Silver, and Gold. The Bronze package is still very expensive and has numerous limitations. For example, you can only train a number of times a week and you are not welcome to the open mat on Sundays with the Gold members, and you don't have access to certain areas of the facility that are offered to Gold members. Many of his students are loyal due to the fear of judgment and do not realize that they can have more genuine Jiu Jitsu experiences for far less money in the same city with great attentive coaches that are able to connect with their students. Although many students train hard to earn their belts and stripes, Coach Danny Alvarez will purposely choose a time when he is at odds with a student to spontaneously award belt promotions, choosing to skip the students he disagrees with to show his disapproval. He pressures his students to compete in tournaments for the team trophy but is not invested in the individual as a competitor. He is sure to record the promoted student's testimony to keep up appearances of the school. This school has had great talent, but many of the most competitive students are leaving because of the pressure and social environment. There is a distinct lack of connection from both Coach Danny Alvarez and Coach Danielle Alvarez and this has gotten worse with time. This is my personal experience with this school but I'm very sure so many other's share it. It's a nice clean simple family place on the surface with a seemingly caring staff, but is a corrupt cult once you've signed the contract.
