Jen Lotto
"We love Gracie Barra Palm Desert! My husband, son, and I have been training here since it opened and love the family atmosphere of this school. The professor is knowledgable, encouraging, and makes it fun. You get a lot more than just a class a couple of times a week. You get a team, a family, and a sense of belonging to something bigger. GB is great for people of all ages - kids to older adults!"
