I had about 5 months previous bjj training experience at another academy but that was a very long time ago. If you are new to bjj, I hope that you dedicate yourself to learning the art and stick with it!!

The owner, John, was very hands on. He clarified a lot of things for me as far as technique and showed me things that will greatly help me.

In closing I can say that I had such a good time that I will definitely be back. Keep up the good work and thanks again John.

I've been going to his gym and getting personal training services for a little over 13 months…read more Punchline is that I am extremely happy with the facilities, staff and results. I'm an ex-soccer player and relatively fit when I showed up. My training regimen and meal plan has been tailored to my short and long term objectives. At times I've wanted to add muscle and at other times I've wanted to lean out. In all cases I've received purposeful and highly technical, form-focused instruction that have produced the exact results I've been seeking. My overall energy level, health and strength have all improved, as well as my sleep. Working out with Joe, I've done full-body HIIT training, focused-area (shoulders, arms, chest, abs) training and some moderate cardio (during lean out periods). Joe understands both the chemistry of nutrition and the physiology around body movement and muscle isolation - all to drive the right outcomes. His training sessions are a great value; as most know, it is hard to find his level of commitment and consistency in the ego-ridden personal trainer industry. You won't find that with any of the trainers at V12 - it's a positive, client-focused culture. Most importantly (for me) is the variety of exercises / lifting - I've never done the same sequence twice and am constantly engaged, encouraged and celebrated by a professional that started as my trainer and has since become a friend.
