"Love this place! I walked in and the instructor didn’t hesitate to welcome me personally. He greeted me with genuine enthusiasm and made me feel right at home. I signed up for a free trial and was rolling the very next day. The entire team was friendly, patient, and super welcoming. Whether you're new or experienced, I highly recommend checking this place out—it’s the real deal."
Mr.C
"This gym is hands down the best in the area. You won’t find another place offering high-quality training morning, noon, and night. Whether you walk into a 5am class or show up at 6pm, the energy, instruction, and atmosphere are consistently top-notch. The instructors are incredibly skilled, passionate, and truly care about your progress. No matter your schedule, there’s always a great class waiting for you and a team that pushes you to be better every day."

"I love this gym!!! Have essentially grown up the last 20 years with these guys, took a decade off and came back home to Professor Jay finally opening his own gym. Few locations to land here, but the current Professors, instructors, and all the team members are just amazing people...no gym rats, we keep em' out!! There is no other gym where you can get so much for the lowest cost around....gi, no-gi, leg locks, grappling, beginner classes, huge kids classes, women's only classes, self-defense, MMA, boxing (5am, lunch time, evening), 24 hour weight lifting and cardio equipment, sauna, cold plunge, and showers!!!! And all this taught by insanely technical and knowledgeable black belts, firefighters, local and federal law enforcement officers, ex-intelligence agents, and golden gloves boxers! Come join us!!"

"The Grizcave is a family friendly, positive place for members of all ages and sexes to learn to love Jiu-Jitsu. The gym has weight equipment, a treadmill, and punching bags to encourage overall fitness. I used to sit on the sideline and watch my husband and kids train and eventually decided to try it myself. It was the best decision for my overall mental and physical health. I highly recommend the Franklin Jiu-Jitsu Club!"
