This is the best place in the world to train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Ari Galo is a very well respected…read moreProfessor and he has dedicated his whole life to teaching the art. The team is very strong, supportive, and very attentive to technical details. You will immediately feel like part of the Carlson Gracie family from the first day of training. If you are in Rio de Janeiro, this is definitely worth a visit. The gym is also connected to Walk On The Favela Hostel and has a rooftop with the most amazing view of Copacabana. They hold 2 camps every year, one in the winter season and one in the summer season, where you can eat, sleep, and train all under one roof.

Great Location in the neighborhood of Humaitá in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil!…read more I was weary to come to a box in Brazil due to my lack of ease with speaking and understanding Portuguese BUT I decided that WOD lingo is a universal language amount my Crossfit people! Lol This location could be tricky to see when walking as the signage is above and a bit hidden but step into the street a bit and you'll see it. The studio is on the 2nd floor and is sharing the floor with what looks like a MMA Or some type of martial arts studio. I walked in to find a class just beginning. The instructor, Juliana greated me with a "Olá, bom Dia!" And a smile which put me at ease a bit. I told her I didn't speak much Portuguese and she said it a ok and ushered me toward a nice girl who did! Thank goodness! She explained the warmup and WOD with great detail and always made sure to check if I was following. The WOD was perfect since I hadn't worked out since staring my vacation! The drop in fee was $50R (Reise) but that's like $16.50USD. Not bad! I always purchased a shirt to mark the occasion. The facilities are smaller than I am use to (being from USA) but it was good enough for a great workout! I went back the next morning to get my butt kicked again! Would definitely come back if I'm in the area again. Muito Obrigada Crossfit Corcovado!

I take different classes, and the downfall, is that you have to sign up for some classes one hour in advance, and it is not possible to do it over the phone or online. You have to arrive there one hour before the class. That can be a challenge, but apart from that, I love the workouts and the people.
