Unit 2 Fitness

“I've waited almost a year to write this review because I wanted it to be based on real world experiences. I'm a BJJ Blackbelt under Rafael "Gordinho" Lima with 20+ years of training. While I'm entirely a hobbyist, due to life and work relocations I've trained at quite a few gyms throughout the years with some very big names in the sport. In early 2024 I signed up at Unit 2 Jiu Jitsu because it's very close to my new home in Atlanta. I'm glad I did. Unit 2 Fitness is a hidden gem in the Atlanta Jiu Jitsu scene and Jeffery Boudreaux is without a doubt one of the best Jiu Jitsu coaches I have ever trained with. His personalized and passionate approach reminds me very much of my own professor. He is an absolute wealth of Jiu Jitsu knowledge and is on the mats with his students every day. The latter is a trait that is becoming exceedingly rare for Jiu Jitsu school owners as the demands of scaling a business often outpace their ability to train. Not so at Unit 2. Training always comes first with the understanding that the training experience on the mat _IS_ the product. In this day and age of social media saturation and "content creation" it can be exceedingly hard to find a school that simply lets its jiu jitsu do the talking. Unit 2 is that school in Atlanta. The coaches care and are passionate about each student's individual game and development. The focus is entirely on no-nonsense competition proven Jiu Jitsu. It is an environment where it is easy to belong. You show up, you train, you're part of the team. I highly recommend Unit 2 to anyone in the Atlanta area that is looking for a school offering world class Jiu Jitsu instruction where you don't have to worry about tripping over selfie sticks, or being bombarded with non-stop e-mail campaigns trying to upsell you on random nonsense. Come train, you'll be glad you did!”

“Unit 2 Fitness is a fantastic place to elevate your fitness journey. The atmosphere is welcoming and motivating, making it easy to feel at home while pushing your limits. Coaches Jeff and Ryan are exceptional—they bring a wealth of knowledge, energy, and personalized attention to every session. Jeff has an incredible ability to inspire and challenge you, tailoring workouts to meet individual goals while keeping things fun. Ryan is equally impressive, focusing on technique and ensuring that everyone understands the fundamentals. Together, they create a supportive environment where every member can thrive. If you’re looking for a fitness community that fosters growth and camaraderie, Unit 2 Fitness is the perfect choice. Highly recommend!”

“Unit 2 Fitness has been my home for almost 3 years and I am so grateful to Professor Jeff for creating a safe and comfortable space to learn, grow, and train hard. I noticed immediately (that he remembers everyone’s names from the first time he hears it and) the family culture of the gym. Professor Jeff is a great coach- From keeping the space immaculately clean to pairing everyone up with intention to pushing people to get better, to using different coaching styles purposefully and easing newer folks into it, I highly recommend him and this gym. Although I may train other places, this will always be my home gym.”

“This is absolutely the BEST gym! The boxing and jujitsu classes are amazing! Not only do you get a FABULOUS workout, but you will meet a ton of GREAT people. Jeff, the owner, hosts a lot of community events for the members, such as cook outs and pot lucks-with fun for the whole family (including the kids)! Ryan works alongside Jeff, and is nothing short of AWESOME! They are both great teachers (encouraging, patient, and helpful) and make you feel right at home! The gym itself is huge and it consists of a matted boxing area, a matted jujitsu area, and even a small gym with weights and work out equipment. If you are looking for some great workouts, making some new friends, or even an extra-curricular activity for yourself and/or your kids after school, I would definitely check out this place! 10/10!”

“I was in town for few days and attending the BJJ class was an incredible experience, thanks to Coach Jeff. His expertise, patience, and passion for teaching made every session both challenging and enjoyable. Jeff's ability to break down complex techniques and his dedication to each student's progress truly sets him apart as a great instructor. His positive energy and encouragement create a welcoming environment that inspires everyone to do their best.”
