This gym is truly unique. Shamir and the team are offering something special. I feel lucky to take part as a black belt instructor in Brazilian jiu jitsu. Before training with Shamir I struggled to maintain my health during intense no GI and gi schedules. Through holistic fitness incorporating mobility, weight training and nutrition I am able to guide our students with greater health and consistency. Learning no GI jiu jitsu with the community at hero Athletics has been amazing! I am incredibly thankful for the entire team!
