There are some clubs today that were in former years karate, MT or boxing and are getting on the MMA bandwagon. This is not one of them.. This is a built from the ground up MMA club, with excellent instructors experienced in their discipline. There are some clubs that are holes in the wall, smelly with crumbling showers and lockers. This is not one of those. The facilities are new and excellent quality. You do pay for it. There are some serious clubs where professionals and top amateurs train. This is not one of those. It is geared for the average person, with some interest in fitness and some fighting. I agree with the other review that the emphasis is on stand up, boxing and MT. That is about 70% of the classes. There is about 1 BJJ class per day usually after 8pm, and 0-1 wrestling per week. There also is only one dedicated MMA class per week. SO i feel it is a bit light in the ground and MMA area, despite it being an MMA club. I'm not sure there are any better in the GTA - yet. If the UFC club arrives that may be (and if pricing mirrors the US, it may be about half the cost as well). There is a wide variety of offerings though and for the time being this is probably the top destination. read more

I started training at Rev almost three years ago. It was thanks to Joel that I became passionate about Jiu Jitsu, martial arts and fitness in general. Thanks to his consistent support I grew more confident in myself and my abilities and began crosstraining in Boxing and Muay Thai. Almost three years later, THIRTY POUNDS lighter and I've never been happier or more confident in myself. The Brazilian Jiu Jitsu program is amazing. Matthew, Arther and Joel are all extremely patient, understanding and talented coaches. The level of instruction is like no other and all three of them are extremely professional. They've built an amazing and strong bjj family between both the Toronto and Vaughn location. Especially as a woman, I've never felt more included and welcome in a predominantly male sport. Fitzy, Marco and Hovig are also amazing striking coaches who consistently push you to be a better version of yourself. The community and network available at Rev is one that I'm very grateful to be a part of. Such a great place to learn, grow and develop new relationships, definitely my second home. read more

6 months ago, I started looking into several martial art programs for my five year old son. I was hoping to add a physical outlet that he would enjoy, but also one that would reinforce what I am trying to teach at home, which is self-control (mixed with other good characteristics of course). The first time we visited, we were impressed with the balance the instructors have with the kids! The instructors for the children classes are able to teach, expect respect, push them, encourage them, and yet, have fun! Every class we have taken has this balance. After my son started, his two older sisters wanted to start taking a class, which surprised me! They have loved it just as much as my son. To have kids excited to go to a physical class that teaches and pushes them for their personal best, is what every parent is looking for! Besides my kids having fun and learning a new skill, I have seen them get stronger, have more self-control, and gain more self-confidence that has carried over to other areas. Bounus, the gym always feels clean! read more

As a father, I have been impressed with the quality of instruction that Revolution MMA has provided my child. The owner is not only qualified, but is someone who understands how children develop uniquely, and the classes are planned and scheduled accordingly. The Lesmill facility is superb, and for adults who are just looking to get in shape, they have some of the best training programs in Toronto. You don't have to be interested in MMA to benefit from a Rev MMA membership, as you will hear from many of their loyal customers. For those who complain about the price of membership, I truly believe that you get what you pay for ... and just check out their Toronto location if you appreciate organizations that pay attention to detail. So, if you're looking for high quality, I highly recommend Revolution MMA. If you're looking for something cheap (as even a secondary criteria), then I'm sure you'll find many establishments that will pretend to train you and/or your children. read more

I've been a member of Revolution MMA for the past 4 years and have had nothing short of an amazing experience. I initially joined because I wasn't getting the results I wanted at the gym. A few friends of mine recommended RevMMA to me and I haven't looked back. Since joining, I have lost over 25 pounds. What really stands out for me about RevMMA is definitely the instructors. They are top-notch and give you lots of 1-on-1 training in class. Often times it's like having a personal trainer. Unlike a gym, there is always someone pushing you to work harder, so you are more likely to see results. They really do care about their students, and it shows! The facilities themselves are also amazing. The gym is super clean and well designed. Plus, there's always loads of parking. If you're looking to get into the best shape of your life, I highly recommend Revolution MMA. It definitely beats going to the gym! read more

I've been a member of RevMMA for a short 6 months. All I can say is that the trainers are world class, there is a camaraderie among the students that I have never experienced before. If you want to learn a particular martial art, more than one or just get your butt whipped into shape this IS the place, the trainers will work you hard but help you every step of the way, they care about their students and I say students because they teach not just yell out instructions. If you want to join a simple gym and then possibly get a personal trainer...and pay them extra, then go ahead. If you want to Join a Gym where you get personal training the minute you step on the mat and learn something that will truly impact your life...Then Join Revolution MMA, every ounce of sweat will be worth it. read more

Revolution is an amazing gym for martial arts training and personal fitness for all ages. Their martial art instructors and personal trainers treat all of their students with dignity and respect. They are all professional, enthusiastic and know how to motivate people of all ages. I have witnessed the instructors working with people from age 3 to 50 years old. I have watched members return many times with a smile on their face whether they are part of a fitness, martial art class or a personal training session. I highly recommend Revolution to parents looking to put their children into martial arts training to sign their children up with Revolution. Their classes are divided up through age and skill level. From age 3 to 6 for munchkins. 6 to 12 for juniors, teens and adults. read more

I have been training at this gym for about 6 months now and I highly recommend this gym, even more so if you are a beginner. This is a gym with highly qualified instructors who have very solid credentials and are not only very approachable (they actually truly care about their students) but seem to have a very good philosophy to their teaching. Each instructor has their own unique style of teaching which is amazing and makes you wanting to come in every day to learn!!! Not only the coaches are willing to teach you from any level they are with you every step of the way doesn't matter if you are looking to compete or get in the best shape of your life each teacher goes above and beyond for each student! It's not even a gym anymore it's more of a communtity and family. read more

I was a member of Rev MMA for almost three years. During my almost three years as a member I found the gym to be clean, the equipment in good order (as good as you'd want for things that designed to be kicked and punched), and the atmosphere welcoming. Every trainer/coach I encountered was able to both give clear, helpful instruction and guidance, and when needed, a kick in the ass to keep you on track. Behind the aesthetic appeal of the gym, the staff truly is the best part of Rev. I had to cancel my membership as my work schedule no longer allowed me to attend the classes I preferred (though the schedule is diverse), but should that change, I'd happily re-sign up. read more

I've trained at Rev for over 3 years, and my brother even longer; I train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and take the Combat Fitness classes, and it is honestly the best experience I've ever had at an MMA club. Over the last 13 years I've trained a variety of martial arts at a variety of clubs, and Rev has been by far the best. The instructors are extremely helpful, knowledgable, and supportive, and the students there are extremely kind and supportive. It is a strong, tightly knit community of people that are extremely welcoming and humble. It's a truly amazing place, and I would definitely recommend for anyone thinking of training. read more

Awesome group of instructors and members! Great and clean facility to train at. I have been training here since 2011- Training here has changed m life, surrounded by positive and competitive influences. It has become my second home as I continue to train four times a week. My 12 year old son has also been training here as a junior for the past two years and as a result has improved all aspects of his life . I highly recommend Rev MMA to anyone who is looking for a positive and rewarding challenge. read more

Hands down the best training facility I've ever been a part of!!! I joined REV MMA on a 3 month membership to get me back in shape for another season of touch football and ended up walking away from a 20 year love for a sport because of a new addiction to BJJ and MT!!! The coaches are top shelf... I can't say enuf about them and the calibre of people that join this club is a reflection of that! When all you can think about is how soon you can get to the gym you know you've found the right place!!! read more

My wife and I signed up around 8 months ago, and it was the best decision we've ever made. Great ambiance, great people, and most importantly great instructors who inspire you to be a better version of yourself! The BJJ, kickboxing, and boxing programs are world class. We've become addicted to this place and consider it our second home. Highly recommended for anyone looking to have fun, get in shape, learn self-defense , while feeling better about themselves. It truly is a family atmosphere! read more

By far and away the best place in Toronto, North York and the entire GTA for learning Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu​, MMA, Krav Maga, and Kick Boxing/Muay Thai. Not only do I call this place home to continue my 30+ years of martial arts training, but I also entrust the club with my own daughter's training. She is currently in the Munchkin class, for 3-6 year old kids and she's loving it! Hats off to Joel Gerson and his incredible staff for running a remarkably clean and well-respected facility! read more
