Mary Roosa
"We love Elevate! 2 of our kids have been there almost 2 years and have learned so much! Sensai Brett and Sandra are very nice, helpful, and have really helped my kids have more confidence!"
Anthony Cordo
"Elevate, in my opinion, is far and away the best BJJ and Judo academy for adults and children in the area. We started our daughter here in 2022, and she absolutely loves it. On top of the martial arts she’s learning, she is also learning respect and self confidence. I myself started BJJ at Elevate in 2024. The gym itself is immaculate and large with tons of mat space. It truly is ego free and feels more like family than anything else. All members of the team are there to help and truly want you to succeed. Sensei Brett and Sensei Sandra are excellent coaches that care deeply about each and every member. Highly recommend Elevate. We wouldn’t want to train anywhere else!"
Beau Ridge
"I do a bit of traveling, and when I travel, I look for places to train that fit a certain criteria. Being a lifelong martial artist, I appreciate and know the value of a healthy, safe, and fun training conditions. Sandra and Brett, and the entire Elevate team, couldn’t have done a better job of creating this type of environment. They promote cooperative training with superb guidance, which allows practitioners not only to grow as martial artist, but as individuals. I highly recommend this facility to anyone who is looking to elevate their jiu-jitsu/judo while having a great time and making amazing friends!"
Brian Records
"Starting anything new is always intimidating. In my mind, starting martial arts was very intimidating but Elevate made it feel very easy. There was no pressure, and the atmosphere is relaxed and safe. I came to Elevate to personally grow and learn something new, I did not expect to be welcomed by a community of extremely nice and helpful people. The safe setting definitely starts from the top, Brett and Sandra, and seamlessly works down throughout everyone who attends. I cannot compliment Brett and Sandra enough on what they have created at Elevate, a safe place for people of all ages to challenge themselves and grow physically and mentally."
