I am so impressed with Impact Jiu Jitsu. My nine year old daughter has Asperger Syndrome, which…read more(among many other things) causes her to be very clumsy and both physically and socially awkward. She does not do well in group sports, even though she tries very hard. Because of this, I'd been looking for some kind of sport or physical activity that fit her. Impact Jiu Jitsu recently moved into our neighborhood, and we gave it a week to see if it would work out for her. Not only did they offer a full week (3 classes) with a very nice loaned gi, they also took extra time with her to help her get comfortable with the facility and the staff. Speaking of the staff, my wife is very hard to impress. But she goes on and on about the quality of the teachers there. They are knowledgable, they are so patient, they are focused on safety, and they are fully engaged. My daughter has finally found "her thing," and is excited to go to every class. We're absolutely delighted with every aspect of this gym.

Matt Lindland, Dan Henderson, Ed Herman, Ryan Schultz, Chris Leban, Randy Couture, Matt Horwich... The list goes on. Quest has a great group of trainers and coaches, recently added is Fabiano Scherner and he has began to teach Gi BJJ. Quest currently has almost 400 members, and a good number of them are excellent training partners with a good amount of experience, which is great for getting better... or just beet up. To the other yelper who reviewed this gym; Yes there are some other great gyms out there, and it looks like maybe you should find one because the Rear-naked choke in your picture is quite sloppy. (i am just joking... calm down) Bottom line is that Quest id a great place to train MMA, good coaches, good gym schedule and good members, i just wish it was closer to my house.

Coach Bryan has been extremely respectful, welcoming and focused on individual needs of his students...within reason. His drills are always followed by motivation and application. When running drills he walks the room to ensure every student is able to perform the technique to the best of their experience and fitness level. If needed runs the drill with you personally. He expects you to put in the work and is not afraid to be frank when you are not mindful. This is of great importance as you are paying for his service as are others around you. Why waste your money and other's time? His gym is always spotless and never odorous... I have a bit of OCD so that is a great compliment. He is strict on mat cleanliness. He took me in old, bad vision and poor physical condition and is keeping me motivated, healthy and happy... my doctor loves him for that as does my wife. I always look forward to class and never regret any money spent ... even on a fixed budget totally worth it. Thanks Coach Brayn for being there.

The BJJ classes are attended with often a good balance of every skill level and the instructors are all amazing people who are truly talented. There are tons of different personalities so no matter what you are looking for... they probably have it. Training at this gym has become one of my favorite parts of the day and the only reason I am writing this review is because I'm so excited for practice tomorrow.

I joined this gym when I was 16 years old, fought 19 times as an amateur and they just turned me pro in boxing and mma.

Guarantee you'll love it.

Not everyone who is good at doing stuff is good at teaching it. Hannah and Eddie are not only…read moreaccomplished martial artists who are constantly reevaluating how effective techniques are in high level competition, but they are also talented teachers and coaches of competitive athletes and hobbyists alike. This is a fantastic training environment, where standards are uncompromisingly high, but students of all levels are met where they are and helped along, with nobody ignored or excluded. The vibe couldn't be less toxic. I'm an older, injury-prone guy, and I feel lucky to experience legit, high-intensity rolls in a setting where I trust my training partners to be safe, because that is part of the culture here. Oh, and my son loved Hannah's and Eddie's superb kids' program, which is no babysitting service, but delivers authentic skills instruction in a fun, supportive environment. Finally, for those looking around at schools, I'd advise looking for a few green flags- rates transparently posted on website, pressure-free trial classes, no sketchy contracts, no requirement to purchase branded uniforms, no bs. Honestly, I love jiu jitsu but it's not for everyone, and I wouldn't advise anyone let themselves get talked into a big financial commitment before getting the chance to try it out a bit.

I'm new to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and I was incredibly nervous. Thankfully the coaches Eddie and…read moreHannah were so kind and welcoming. The other students as well.

These other five-star Yelp reviews mirror my own experience with Michael…read more I've worked with many personal trainers over the years, but none even close to his league. Started with him a couple of years ago, feeling flabby, having gotten almost no exercise for a couple of years during the Covid panic. Could feel positive results after just a few workouts. He's got a very clear idea of the connection between strength and health, which--as the other reviewers note---he knows how to implement in different was for different people. Michael emphasizes safety, subtly pushing you, but never forcing the next step until you're ready. His sessions are strenuous, but always enjoyable. And conversing with him between sets about sports, history, training, ... you name it ... is so much fun! He's the best!

He made a workout and eating plan that made sense for me and not for 1000 generic people. Have lost 16 pounds and feel GREAT ! Will forever be recommending his services to all of my friends and family ! Thank you again Michael !!
