Not to mention the other students there are super welcoming, helpful, and just a really fun bunch to be around.

Igor was an incredibly patient and effective teacher. I never thought I'd do a BJJ class but when it was over I left wanting more. As an educator it was so wonderful to see all of the kids in class. They seem to be learning way more than just jujitsu. Self respect, confidence, community, just to name a few. Thank you Igor, I appreciate the lesson and great experience at Ralph Gracie Richmond.

Professor Igor & Mrs…read more Elise have always been courteous & willing to address any questions & concerns I may have in a timely manner. At my age (late 40's) & fitness level (severely out of shape ), I found starting Jiu Jitsu to be very physically challenging but Professor Igor is always encouraging & provides guidance when needed in a professional manner. I look forward to continuing my Jiu Jitsu studies at Ralph Gracie Richmond Academy & I plan to enroll my son at the Academy when he is old enough.

Modesty, Courtesy and Integrity as well as additional fundamentals in Karate are taught daily. Classes, tournaments and friendship with others in their classes make each class that much better. Instructor Ed teaches so much more than these kids even grasp today, but will remember as adults. Of course my hope is my children never need their karate training to come into play in a real life experience, but I know with what they have learned and continue to learn with Instructor Ed, they will be ok. Thanks Ed for keeping these kids on track and moving forward to achieve their goal of Black Belt.

We were one of Baldwin's first customers and initially sent our kids to two classes. After that,…read moreour schedules didn't align, so we came to an agreement to freeze our account. Recently, I wanted to send our kids back, and Baldwin asked me to call to find a solution. However, instead of working toward an agreement, he was dismissive, unwilling to resolve the situation, and ultimately disrespectful. I'm actually glad we experienced this side of him now--because we would never want to expose our kids to someone who acts this way. If you run a business, respect should be at the foundation. Being bossy or disrespectful is not how you treat customers, and it's certainly not how you run a business.

Super stoked for Baldwin to be opening his own gym! Met Baldwin through a teammate while he was…read morevisiting Honolulu. And let me tell you, you better bring your A-game at all times. Super sharp technique and competitive rolls. He's also super down-to-earth, approachable and an overall nice guy. Baldwin is also a tried and true competitor and you can tell by all the competitions he has done. It would be so dope to be a part of a gym like this with a head instructor of his caliber. Looking forward to dropping in when I'm back in the bay. Ossssss!

This past May, Coach Gen asked me if I wanted to train for a Spartan Race…read more At 46, the idea of climbing ropes, scaling walls, doing monkey bars, carrying sandbags and buckets, and tackling 20 obstacles sounded a little crazy. But I said yes--and Gen got me ready. What I appreciate most about Gen is his ability to push me outside my comfort zone while also giving me the confidence to take on the challenge. He taught me the skills I needed for the race, figured out where I needed work, and made sure I was prepared when race day came. A few weeks ago, I finished my first Spartan Race. Some obstacles took multiple tries, but I did them--including climbing a rope, something I never imagined I'd learn to do at 46! And apparently one new challenge wasn't enough, because I'm now training with Gen for another Spartan Race and Muay Thai. He continues to challenge me, teach me new skills, and expand my idea of what I'm physically capable of. I can't recommend Coach Gen and the Gen X Fitness team enough. If you want a coach who will challenge you, prepare you, and make you realize you can do things you never thought you could do, Gen is your guy.

I was able to build my hips / butt 1.5 inches and lose an inch from my waist in 2 months! She's also got great advice about diet and goes above and beyond to research additional methods of training to get you past plateaus and to get you to your goals faster. Rachel is definitely very focused during training, which I love - but also somehow is super fun to chat with. She also really cares about her clients as well, not just professionally but personally. When I was having a really hard day and started crying in the gym, she said there was no way I should be training and sat me down and we just spent the hour chatting rather than training. She didn't charge me for that session; it's because she genuinely cares.

Through training with her I've gained so much confidence with equipment that I would have never picked up on my own. Rachel takes time to really make sure you are working towards your fitness goals. She builds her programs specifically around your goals and will make tweaks based on progress so that you can get the most out of your sessions. Her positive and encouraging attitude during sessions always helps me to finish strong and lift more than I thought I could! She also takes time to explain each exercise and why we are doing it. I am super happy with my results from training with Rachel for just a short period of time!!
